A Shot of Silver Shifts These Neutrals

In every conference, random topics always arise.
It can range from barbie... to respect... to tricycle accidents wtf?
The following paragraphs were taken from one of the daily conferences I have with friends.

Quote:
So what did her kuya rex do? i made the impossible possible. just so she could have a doll of her own. i took a white barbie doll, started raw, took some black india ink and made her hair jet raven black. took some of my dad's light brown shoe polish and rubbed it into her skin, so she could get that nice morena tone. and took a brown marker pen and colored in that blue and made it brown. then i took that barbie by the legs and smashed her face into the ground! so she can get that filipina nose. because you cannot deny that barbie is pinay.

Bingo, true enough, that Barbie is 100% Pinay.
That excerpt came from Rex Navarette. Genius.

Note that exams and schoolwork can "soup-ify" your brain. (Coined term: Sabaw)
And I couldn't agree more.

Because of guild issues in Perfect World, I decided not to return to my former guild (Holy Order). Okay, so these are not really guild issues, but that of personal ones instead.
I don't really play with my character much anymore. I do not like to join clan wars.
I do not want to post at least once a week in their forums like some obligation.
And so we go to the issue of "obligation."
I don't want to be in an obligation without having to get anything in return.
Or do stuff without asking for anything in return? No way. Well... Most of the time, NO.
Or perhaps I do not want to be in the receiving end of commands or requests when I think that the person has no right to command me in the first place. (Emphasis on "when I think")
This means, regardless of hierarchy, if I don't want to, I don't effing want to.

I don't freely give out respect to anyone. You have to earn it like everyone else.

Wash your wounds with alcohol?
Not Isopropyl, so your skin won't dry up and die.
Use Ethyl alcohol.
Well, actually, alcohol not only kills the bacteria, it also kills your immune system cells attacking the bacteria. Yeah, what an unfair sight to behold.
Any form of alcohol can be a disinfectant, even alcohol from vodka or stronger. LOL.
It's better to wash with soap and water though, sans the "thrill." [hint: Masochistic]

Tokyo Cafe at Mall of Asia has the best crepes (aside from Crepes and Cream) and Japanese Carbonara. Yoshinoya is allegedly better than Tokyo Tokyo, according to one of my friends.

Personal pet peeves.
Why do you call it a pet peeve? Is it your pet you have to take care of?
Why do celebrities struggle hard to attain great fame... then wear dark shades outside to avoid recognition? Such irony...
And... Do ants have arseholes?

Quote:
"First of all what was a Filipino back then? Filipino girls did not even register on the radar. None of you registered on the radar--you know, straight long black hair, dark skin, Chinese eyes, buck teeth and a Mexican last name! "

Since when did Filipinos / Filipinas became visible on the map? I mean... no offense but don't you notice the increasing number of foreigners marrying Pinoys / Pinays recently?
Such a boom in the love economy of our country is win. XD

I got Rii-cakes the sequel to Stephanie Meyer's Twilight. 'Tis entitled New Moon. She lacks the third book, Eclipse. Thankfully, Eclipse isn't that hard to find. New Moon is the rarest of the three. LOL.

Happy Second Monthsary to me and Rii~

For some reason, I suddenly got this urge to post.
ROFLMAO what?

This is definitely some petty attempt to cover up the previous blogposts I had. I feel lazy clicking that "delete" button down each post, so I'd rather waste energy clicking one letter at a time.

Doing? Nothing
Thinking? about everything

Yeah, this is spam.

Everyone should be wondering how short the transition was from Celine to Rina, relationship-wise.

I need not explain in detail what went on in my mind, leading to such events.
This will be brief.

> Celine and I broke up last August of 2007.

> The following months until my birthday, November 2007, was the miserable time I spent convincing Celine to get back with me.

> It was November 2007,UP-AME Gakuensai, as well, when I met Rina personally for the first time.

> Whatever issues I had with Celine ended after my birthday.

> Rina has been an online buddy and gamer, a great friend, and an amazing roleplay colleague for a couple or more years now.

> The feelings I have for Rina is genuine. Stop looking at it from a negative and offensive angle.

> I love Rina very much. Period.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Any negative comments regarding me and Rina will be dealt with accordingly.
All other comments are welcome.

First of all, to all the readers, Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Belated Happy Birthday to me as well (and all other belateds that need mention but wasn't included here, Cheers to you).

Second thing, Happy Monthsary to me and Rii. Ahahaha!

But this post is not about the monthsary. In fact, it's far off that train of thought.

Admittingly, my relationship with Rii is actually my third already...
From the past two relationships, I can say I have learned a lot.
Most especially from the second relationship.

So this blogpost is for you... you whom I call Saya... You, the second ex-girlfriend...
Listen well.

We've been together for more than a year. Technically, we were in a commitment together for just a year and anything beyond that was a "courting" stage where I tried to get you back, where you decided to let go and I couldn't do anything about it.
Perhaps, more than a month after I officially cut my ties from you, there have been moments that I did some reminiscing... You know... Think back on that year we spent together...

And with that, I realized...
I was stupid.
Stupid to stay steadfast and loyal to you after your first... second... third... fourth... nth attempt to breakup with me.
Stupid to follow you every single whim... no matter how childish and immature it was...
Well, what can I say... Somehow, you made me stupid.
You threw the responsibility from your past relationships at me. Something I blindly accepted out of love, only to realize I cannot handle all their burden but it was too late to retract my word, and what the heck, I was in love with you that time.
You tried to modify me to the boyfriend you wanted me to be... You had to be angry every single night just so you can change me.
Perhaps, I had a part in changing you too, to the girlfriend I wanted you to be, but if there are times like that, I am pretty sure you would retaliate with a resounding NO.
Maybe you couldn't really accept me for who I am. Or maybe, you just wanted full control over me, your manservant...
I should've left you when I found out about your "sidetrack" early into our relationship. And yes, even months after that incident and we buried the issue, I secretly held a grudge on you for doing that... and the trust I had for you was already chipped.
Or maybe I should've stopped loving you when you attempted your first... second... third... fourth... nth attempt at breaking up. But I was stupid and held on.
You tried to teach me lessons so you can modify me, change me to what you want... or in a positive note, change me for the benefit of our relationship... Some or most of which, I admittingly learned but never applied... because I was already stupid to begin with.

You said... perhaps I never knew you fully... and I never will. Because you never really did show your true self. You held a certain mistrust towards me because of God knows whatever reason that is, but it never directly or indirectly involved me. I just did my job as a boyfriend, that's all.

You entertained other guys, went out with them, even had the guts to tell how happy you were that you went out with them... while I was effing stuck at staring at you, listening to that torturous story about your other guy, while I was effing stuck at taking you out to eat or hang out with at the mall... what the heck...

And just as I was about to begin my closure on the last page of our relatioship,
you bargained by saying I will now get that privilege to know the true you, and that you gave up all the other guys you entertained during that "courting stage" months after our anniversary (yeah that stupid cool-off that wasn't) just because of me...
and that you would act as the boyfriend, give unconditional love etc etc...

But no. I said no.
Besides, I have fallen out of love already. and fallen in love again, with someone else.

You did teach me a lesson, and something that I would certainly apply.
I will never consider returning to a relationship that has potential for a hundred more breakups, cooloffs, courting-stage-to-prove-my-worth-while-you-can-entertain-other-guys situation, numerous other sidetracks, and countless nights of arguments.
Because, history is bound to repeat itself.

And speaking of love,
no matter how much you say that you'd give it unconditionally,
the fact that you want me to stay, the fact that you'd wish I chose you over Rii, are conditions in itself, just so you can show your love.
And yes, I am lashing all these out at you because this is one relationship I really did regret.

I regret to have stayed any longer than the "official" year we spent.
I regret to have taken you back when you had your first sidetrack.
I regret to have stayed even after you said your first attempt at breaking up with me.

Of course, I admit, I did love you, but eventually, it died down, moreso after all that has happened. Yes I did love you. How the heck did I keep myself sane and steadfast in the past year if I didn't?

Thanks for everything.

========================

P.S.

I'd like to have my things back... not in the distant future... but as soon as possible.
Even if it takes going to your house and personally picking them up, as long as I have them back.
And the teddy bear we once called "Sophie" is gathering dust already due to neglect. I don't want to spend a single cent having that sent to the laundries anymore, so just take it back. It isn't mine to begin with.

P.P.S.

Oh yeah, here's the partial list of what I'd get back:
> My shirt
> My Kurapika chains
> The bead rosary bracelet
> My graduation pictures (VERY IMPORTANT)
> The anime DVDs I lent to you (VERY IMPORTANT)
> The handkerchief

P.P.P.S.

"Partial" because I might have forgotten any other thing I left at your care.
I'll bring a box for those things.

Recently,
A lot of Yahoo Messenger users found that the custom status message was suddenly limited to 40 characters only.
There are other people wanting to bypass this.
However, by checking the system.xml in the Yahoo\Messenger\Cache folder in the program files (or wherever location it is installed), these lines can be seen:

40

Any attempts to edit the xml file will only cause Yahoo Messenger to redownload the xml file on your next relogin, thus retaining the 40 character limit.

This link below is a 4kb patch that removes the 40 character limit.
Download it, close your YM and install. Relogin to YM and check if it works.
I have no responsibility over what happens.

Spider Pig! Spider Pig!
Does whatever a spider pig does!
Can he swing from a web?
No he can't... He's a pig.
Look ouuuuuut! He's a Spider Piiiiiiig!

Those were the famous lines from Homer's parody of Spider Man in the Simpsons Movie. The bald guy even did a spoof of Harry Potter, naming his pig "Harry Plopper." LOL!
At last. after 18 seasons of Simpsons goodness, the world can finally see a full-length movie of their humor.
The movie also marks the 20th anniversary of the Simpsons series, and came out after
400 episodes. For those familiar with the Simpsons humor, the movie will truly send you laughing your ass off, though there are parts that lack humor despite being seen as one. For those seeing the Simpsons for the first time, it takes getting used to their comedic fashion (But seriously, what kind of moviegoer isn't familiar with the Simpsons?!)
SPOILER ALERT!
If you're wondering where Harry Plopper went after the family's escape from Springfield, no one really knows.
There are rumors running that the pig will be a mainstay in the upcoming 19th season. It has been confirmed that Harry Plopper will appear in the 1st episode of season 19, with it's airdate scheduled on September 23 (GMT time, I'm assuming).
Kelsey Grammer (well-known as Frasier and Beast in the X-Men movie) will reprise his voice role as Sideshow Bob, and Glenn Close (Devil Wears Prada, 101 Dalmatians) will reprise hers as Grandma Mona Simpson. I'm seeing another great Simpsons season.

Simpsons aside and speaking of piggies, Spider-Pig can also be an obvious parody of Marvel's now-defunct mini-series "The Spectacular Spider-Ham".
The character's name is Peter Porker, and has allies that are obvious parodies of other Marvel characters, such as Captain Americat, Hulky Bunny and Goose Rider to name a few.
Despite it's short run, Spider-Ham has garnered a cult following because of it's humor.
Recently, Marvel revived Spider Ham with a Civil War series (with an indefinite run) entitled "Ultimate Civil War: Spider-Ham." The series will hit shelves come September, if my sources are right.

And now to other things...
Recently, I started playing Perfect World. For those who don't know, Perfect World is an MMORPG from LevelUp Games, having an oriental theme to it, having 3 races with two job classes each race. The game stands out pretty well, with diverse possibilities and hundreds of quests to choose from. It's free-to-play with premium items up for grabs at the item mall.
LevelUp Games have assimilated the Free-to-Play idea. Even the Episode 2 of RF Online will be F2P as well. SilkRoad Online will be F2P too? Not sure.

I also downloaded Granado Espada's client (a 3.5GB download taking 12 hours). I've been wanting to play this game for a long time now. But the system requirements haunt me well enough to have second thoughts on playing. Plus, the game's going premium soon enough, capping 300pesos a month. I guess the price is good enough, compared to Ragnarok's 450 a month and RF's 500 a month.

Another online game is coming our way soon. Aion Online, made by NCSoft, is self-proclaimed to be "the most visually stunning MMORPG" ever made. A flying theme is added as a feature in-game, similar to what we see in Flyff and Perfect World.
Looks promising.

For those who want a copy of Perfect World, I can provide you a DVD-burned copy. Just tell me how you'd get it from me.
I can also burn you a DVD copy of Granado Espada.
*cough70pesoscougheachDVDcough*

Have fun!

Saturday, went out. Bought Saya a silver ring with a red stone, and she also took the time to shop for clothes and some anime she'd watch to kill time in her dorm. Aside from the red-stoned ring, she also wanted another silver ring with a blue stone in it.
It was also Dei's birthday bash that time. I met up with Dei and Ral early during the day, waiting for the others. Surprisingly, I saw Cy and Ghe (plus a few others) walking in the Town Center corridors while I was with Saya in Artwork, browsing through a few shirts.
I asked them to wait for me, at least to see them for a moment before they went on their gimik. Either it was miscommunication or I was too late or whatever.
Nonetheless, I was picked up at 6pm and went to Lipa once more.
~____~;;;

I spent the the weekend and until tuesday night in Lipa once again.
I was bored to death for around 4-5 days. There was no net, no PS2 to tinker, and the cable TV was not mine to control. I only had the portable DVD player and my PSP to fiddle with.
During my stay there, I had the chance to watch and finish Jigoku Shoujo and its Futakomori season (Season 2).
No, I'm not Enma Ai, nor will I ever want to be. I prefer to be Ichimoku Ren LOL!
Speaking of Jigoku Shoujo, I saw one episode of the live action series. Not bad, I should say.
I read the wiki and found out Saaya Irie will play the role of Tsugumi.
That was quite... weird and farfetched. Tsugumi Shibata (a protagonist in the later parts of season 1) is a 7 year old girl. What's a 13 year old girl with a huge F cup front doing acting out as the 7 year old counterpart?! 7 YEAR OLD KIDS DONT HAVE F CUPPED BOOBS.
Ah whatever.

I had the time to read the recent Naruto manga chapters and confirmed what Ghe and Cy told me, and as well as the previous rumors. Tobi is the Akatsuki leader, and Pain is just his puppet. The face of the last unknown Akatsuki member has been revealed, but her name is still withheld. Perhaps, it's also safe to say, Tobi is Obito. Hmm... plot thickeners.

Speaking of Ghe and Cy, I met up with them last monday. Looks like Cy skipped work! HAHAHA!! NO MORE SWELDO?! HAHA!!!
Both of them were shocked to see me. Err... Why? Do I look uhh... different?
I treated them to Pancake House. I even forgot to take a picture of the Caramel Banana Walnut Pancake I ordered... Yum, bathed in maple syrup. Played a bit of arcade and dared (more like forced) the two to enter Ward 7. It wasn't that bad right? The patients really didn't notice them, so yeah. Safe~
I bought a HunterXHunter dvd from the local pirate. All 40+ episodes were crammed in one DVD-9 (a dvd that can hold 10GB worth of data, can be bought at 50 pesos each, more or less). Sadly, the DVD was crap and didn't even run on my player or on the PC. I planned to return it but the pirate was gone. Bleh. Lost 70 pesos. >___>

I don't want to return to Lipa yet again. At least, not now. I've had enough boredom. Perhaps next time, but not too soon. I prefer to stay cooped up at home or in a mall for now.

That's quite enough. I'm off to play with my PS2. I found myself burdened with 4 new games
(Atelier Iris 3, GrimGrimoire, Odin Sphere, Disgaea 2). And I haven't even finished Kingdom Hearts 2 yet! Argh, so many games, so little time.

Bye for now!
