to bang up a banger

^_^ summer

2006-04-23T07:05:00.000-07:00

It's nearly the end of the second month of our summer vacation! weeee!

For the first month, two of my favorite things were up in my daily routine! Eat and sleep. It was nice but it gets old right away...plus I didn't gain weight which means I'm still 10 lbs under weight! grrr! I'm still working on gaining weight...

Anyway, after 3 months, I decided to get our PS2 fixed just to play Kingdom Hearts 2! One week later and I already completed the main story. Another week later and I completed all Gummi routes and missions in S rank! Now I only have 12 things from my synthesis list to complete the game 100%. Plus I've been giving my Sora some steroids! Without any equipment that enhances stats, my Sora has 90 def, 78 attack and 69 magic! My proud mode file is still after fighting Xigbar. I don't have the spirit to power level another file. >.<

On Friday, my family is going on a vacation to Vietnam! weee! But right after we come back from Vietnam, my college review classes starts. I'm excited for both! Hopefully the classes pays off! ^_^

BTW, I was watching my Popotan DVD list night. I saw the name Osamu Tezuka in the opening credits as the music composer! hahahaha! He has the same name as the guy who made Astroboy!
And I hate the english dubbers! They butchered Konami's voice! grrr! And Mea's japanese voice is much cuter. Grrrrr. At least the dubbing can be considered decent.

Org Head!!!

2006-01-22T04:54:00.000-08:00

Weeeeee!!! We had our organization elections a few weeks ago. For those who don't know, I'm part of our school's organization, the Art guild (btw, orgs are extra curricular activities. They are called clubs in other schools). I was elected as the org head for the coming year! You really can't call it an election though. No one was really elected...nor did anyone vote. The current vice-head and the secretary just went to our table (where all four HS juniors are) and just assigned us our respective positions. The sophomores and the freshmen really didn't care since none of them really wanted to run. Well, at least I can now state something good when applying for college (leader experience...nyuhuhuhu).

murder

2005-04-17T00:39:00.000-07:00

2 weeks ago there was a drug raid one block away from our house this time there was a murder on that same street. What has the world come to.

anyway the new background pic is from Sakura Kinoshita's artbook, "Comedy of Errors." credits goes to her and me for cropping (nyuhuhuhu). oh and to Leo for the blog layout.

Drug raid

2005-04-10T11:12:00.000-07:00

There was a drug raid in Quezon City where 110 million worth of liquid Ketamine(is the spelling correct?) was confiscated and guess what. It happened just a block away from our house!!

Actually during Holy Week, investigations were being held near our grandmother's house. My grandmother would often tell us frantically how she suspects someone "robbing" a house nearby since there were heavilly tinted vehicles on that street that don't seem to move all day. They turned out to be surveillance vehicles investigating the drug facility (although just a civilian house). There were a lot of police....

Woohoo!!

2005-03-12T05:36:00.000-08:00

I'm promoted to 3rd year of high school!!! woohoo!!!

....damn...

2005-02-21T07:15:00.000-08:00

There is this promo in the official site of Xenosaga 2 where you'll have to find 12 icons through a flash site. If you get to find all twelve, you get a chance to win a 20 gb I-pod. I was real enthusiastic about it. Well, with my connection, navigating through flash sites isn't really a walk in the park...I spent a few hours and when I was on my ninth icon, I decided to look at the rules...guess what I found!!! I found the notice:
"Open to all legal residents of the United States only (excluding Guam, Puerto Rico and all other territories and possesions)"
I felt dumb afterwards and lost all my hope of ever getting a 20 gb I-pod...globalization, where are you!!??? woe is me.....

Xenosaga

2005-02-21T06:24:00.000-08:00

One thing most poeple don't know about me is that I'am a really big fan of Takahashi's games. One such game is Xenosaga.

Ever since I've finished Xenosaga episode 1, I have been eagerly anticipating episode 2. It's really just another underrated game with only undergrounded appeal (or so I have noticed). Well, Xenosaga isn't a perfect game. Most people complained about the fact that 11 out of the 50+ hours of gameplay were all cutscenes. I, however, found that a good thing..just sitting down and letting the game feed you the story. The gameplay is also awesome with the boost system which can literally change the outcome of any given battle. Now that Xenosaga episode 2 is out, I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of one.

I've been expecting a lot of changes in XS eps2. One good change is chaos' outfit!! I mean, in episode one, he wears tights and really really short shorts with his *ehem buldging out! At least now he wears a jump suit with no tights and buldging stuff. Oh...MOMO's outfit changed as well...but not exactly for the better...she wears shorts in eps. 2. This means no more panty shots...And I think, in episode 1, she has the most screen-captured underwear in a non-porn game....maybe I'll start hating shorts now...

What I know so far is that there will be co-op attacks where 2 characters team up to initiate an attack together, Yasunori Mitsuda didn't make the soundtrack, KOS-MOS has a mech, you get to play Shion's brother, Jin Uzuki, and no more panty shots for MOMO. I almost forgot to mention Shion now looks Kawaii than geeky in episode one (oooh pixels >.<).

Ze Christmas Party

2004-12-17T08:00:00.000-08:00

A while ago our class had a Christmas party. As usual, we had a Mass which was pretty much shorter than I expected. After the Mass, there was a presentation which I was not able to watch because I was waiting for my mini-component system which we were gonna use in the party.
We sarted the party with a prayer (as usual) then we ate our food (pizza, chicken& bb-q). La Margarita played afterwards but, unfortunately, the vocalist wasn't heard much. I did not really had much fun (not that I cared about having fun) until most people were already leaving. That time AJ Perez, Jules Joaquim and I were just listening to some alternative music in my component system. Then Jules and I decided to help AJ out in putting away his drum set in his car. As we were carrying his stuff, I remembered that somewhere on the cd that was playing in the component was a song entittled Judith by A Perfect Circle. This worried me so much since Judith is a song with major profanity (the lyrics go like "fuck your god, your lord, your christ") and our class advisor and some parents were still there. Once we settled my friends equipment we hurried back to our classroom and I was so nervous. I was nervous because everyone seemed so quiet and among them was our past religion teacher......I thought Judith had already been played......Fortunately, we got back just in time before track 8 was about to be finished and Judith was track 9...whew....In the end, the party turned out enjoyable especially because I was with my friends. ^_^

KLIK

2004-12-16T21:44:00.000-08:00

Today, we had our KLIK or Klaseng ibang Klase. My first session was 'Love Poetry.' Considering it wasn't in my 7 choices I had doubts of it turning out interesting.....well...I proved myself right...I came in, trying optimism for a change, thinking that maybe I can learn something new and apply it to writing songs. Unfortunately, it turned out that the session was for love poetry appreciation....something I have never really done....and so I spent the whole 2 hours drawing in my notebook or reading "Animal Farm" instead. All in all it was boring as hell..

Then came my next class, Yoga. Unlike 'Love Poetry,' I actually learned something new here! Plus I did get to appreciate it to a certain extent. I learned a few standing and sitting postures, proper yoga breathing and meditation. There were only two things I did not like about yoga. One, was the fact that all yogis are vegetarians. The other thing is that yoga is something religious....something like connecting with heavenly powers, attaining unity with the earth and cleansing. Yoga turned out painful but relaxing.

After KLIK was over, I decided to serve my post. I served it right after my Yoga class so my body ached so much. I had to stand still for 20 minutes!! Good thing the APSA guy( sir Sandy) is my friend and he wasn't too strict about the military post rule. ^_^
