Promotional Empathy

Remember a previous post where I said I'll be playing tennis?

Bullsh*t.

Describes what I feel perfectly

...Then again I haven't checked so this might be the first time mentioning this.

Anyway, only managed to practice for half a day, then my body failed me once again with such activities concerning ANYTHING TO DO WITH BODY MOVEMENTS AND PHYSICAL EXERCISE.

No, I'm not frustrated or any-

YES. I F*CKING AM.

Onward to me advertising the MOST PLAYED PC GAME IN THE WOORLDDDD:

League of Legends

It's a game produced(not sure if this is the right term) by Riot Games which is similar to DotA, except it's a more noob-friendly game. I'm not saying that all LoL players are noob, since I'd be calling myself one if I did, it's just that the learning curve for LoL is slightly easier compared to its predecessor, removing denying in exchange for zoning, introducing smart cast, etc. It's made as such so that the players would be more active playing the game.
Although I'm maining support, so I usually sit in the brush at bot lane trying to either babysit or get aggressive depending on which support I'm using. FTW SONA POKE THAT B*TCHXX HUEHUEHUE

Most of what I stated above might be wrong since this is how I understand the game and which I have loved playing.

#Current Meta Problems, even though I have no qualms against it.

The infographic below should suffice any explanation needed to why YOU should be playing.

I solemnly swear that I have no bias with this game...

 Just felt like updating even tho the contents of this post is utter opinionated sh*t. But then it's my blog, so whatever.

This Continuation

My buwan ng wika goal is officially over, and I must say, I DID (which I least expected) enjoyed writing in Filipino. It's as if it invokes something that draws the attention of the reader, seeing that I, myself is one. I can't explain it that well, though. Sucks haaard maan.
Differentiating the two; english gives off a professional feel to what you are writing with while filipino strikes at the emotions, embodying what the author is trying to say.

So with this I'll be writing in two languages now, depending on what I feel is appropriate for it.

Or speak conyo na lang, para more intense!!

Plahiyo at Kopirayt

Karapatang Magpalathala at Panunulad

Reaksyon sa mga bagay bagay sa pamahalaan ng bansa

Oo, kaya ko naisipan gawan ng reaksyon ang paksang ito dahil sa kamakailan lamang na pangyayari sa ating kagalang galang na senador na si Vicente "Tito" Sotto III...at pati na rin dahil sa mga kinukuha kong mga larawan sa internet at ginagamit ko rito sa aking blog. Sa baba ay ang pinag-tabing larawan ng talumpati ni Kennedy at ni Sotto. Hindi ko na siguro ilalarawan ang buong pangyayari kaugnay sa plagiarism act ni Sotto sapagka't palagay ko'y nabasa niyo na ito.

Alam kong malaki ang agwat ng tanda namin, ngunit kapag ihahalintulad ko ang sarili ko sa kanya bilang isang senador, baka mas maayos pa ako kaysa sa kanya. Ito'y kahit kaunti lamang ang aking pag-aaral sa pambansang konstitusyon at sa kung anu-ano pang bagay na kinakailangan ng mga mag-aaral ng political science, makakalamang ako sapagkat mayroon ako na wala si Sotto: integridad.

Hindi sa sinasabi kong mas mataas akong nilalang kaysa sa kanya dahil 'self-proclaimed' ko ang nasa itaas. Pero, isipin naman niya na bilang isang senado dapat may kakayahan siyang gumawa ng sarili niyang mga talumpati. Kaso kinuha lang niya yung kay Kennedy, isang dating presidente ng Amerika, at tinagalog ito.
Ang hindi ko lang maintindihan kung bakit itinatanggi ni Senador ang kamalian niya, at sasabihing hindi ito plagiarism. Wow! Hindi pa nga niya nagawang i-paraphrase, talagang direktang isinalin sa tagalog word per word.

I won't delve deeper on the other accounts of Tito Sotto's incompatibility as a Senator.

Nakakahiya hindi lang bilang isang politiko kundi pati na rin bilang isang tao.

Kung sino pa ang mga tapat na pulitiko sila pa ang nauunang sumalangit.

Patawad, Paliwanag, at Pamamaraan

Pangalawang Talaarawan

Patawad kung hindi ako nakapagsulat dito nang buong buwan ng agosto. Baka iniisi niyo na ito'y dahil sa ayaw ko lang magsulat sa wikang Pilipino! Hindi naman ako hipokrito, sadyang marami lang nangyari noong buwan ng agosto.

Una'y dahil 'hinabagat' kami ng isang linggo kung saan walang tigil ang buhos ng ulan sa kamaynilaan kahit wala namang bagyo. May mga nabasa pa nga ako sa facebook na isang sabotahe ito ng bansang Tsina sa atin dahil sa mga pangyayari sa Spratly, kung saan mayroong 'device' na ginamit na naglalabas ng kemikal sa himpapawid. Ok.

Sunod na linggo ay nilaan ko naman sa aming preliminary examinations. Kunwari na lang na masipag ako na bata.

Sa katapusan naman ng buwan ng agosto ay nagkaroon ng kaguluhan sa aming munting bahay. Hindi na ako maglalahad pa, sadyang nakakalungkot lang ito *huhu. K.

Dahil dito, babawi ako sa mga utang kong posts! Hanggang sa kalagitnaan ng Setyembre (o kung mawili ay buong buwan na ito) sa sarili nating wika!

Wow, lumalalim na ako. Laking tulong ng diksyonaryo sa tabi!

Bow.

Buwan ng Wika

It's August!

Which, in our country, is the "Buwan ng Wika"

Translation: Month of the (Philippine) Language

With this in mind, I took up the challenge of making ALL my posts for this month in my native language: Filipino...excluding this one since, well, I already started it in English. It'll be inconsistent of me to switch from one language to another.

Frankly, I'm not that nationalistic/patriotic of my own country. I think the reason why I think this way is because I was born during the time when the Philippines isn't doing well/slowly descending towards the bottom of the economic triangle (Largely due to the actions of a late president). The country was like a mess as described by my teachers/professors aroung the 1990s, with reforms and everything underway for the fixation of the new and longstanding problems faced by it.
This is mostly from what I know, and isn't 100% factual for I am not fond of reading history books and listening to lectures of such.

In connection above, I even have a harder time writing in our own dialect(although I use it more for speaking...) often using the almighty Google Translate. So with this so called mission, I might get more fluent at it and obtain a greater appreciation of nationalism!!

 Next up is about my past and desired hobbies! in tagalog. Nooouuououuuou.

A HOLE lot of books

Lung Cancer and Book Sales

Just kidding

But seriously, this coughing needs to stop.

So, instead of talking about my coughing up blood together with my sputum - which is a mixture of saliva and phlegm; waiting for 2 hours for my doctor to arrive, undergo an x-ray and blood count and to collect my morning spit for three days, and be aware of a hole on my right lung, I'll talk about the 3 DAY BOOK SALE  at Fully Booked, a local bookstore. Or maybe international, but I don't really care.

Anyway, I actually had a list with me but most of them were either out of stock or priced exorbitantly even with the 20% discount. Although I blame me for not going on an earlier date and an earlier time. Sucks.

Here's the list of books (No particular order of preference):

1. 2030: The Real Story of What Happens to America by Albert Brooks
2. Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
3. Eleven Minutes by Paolo Coelho
• I don't know why I didn't bought this book even though I am a huge fan of Coelho's works...
4. Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
5. Book Thief by Markus Zusak
6. Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
7. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein
8. Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

yellow highlight - out of stock

light blue highlight - bought

I was really looking forward to get a hold of The Book Thief but the last copy was reserved by some *insert profanities such as fucking douche bag.

He doesn't deserve the insult...but THE LAST COPY?!?!? lasdjahldgslfhny

Luckily the other one that I wanted to buy - The Knife of Never Letting Go was still available!! Yey!

Plus I came across a work of Audrey Niffenegger, the author of The Time Traveler's Wife (which I really, really liked *tears) and Blindness (since I already finished Seeing) by Jose Saramago. Try reading Saramago's work, his style of writing is very odd and  interesting. 'Em long sentences and studded with commas.

I still need to finish Aleph though, i've been on the same page for 2 months. haha.

It's the FLU

Bedridden...ce

When ill, sleep until all is well

or take meds, inhalers, and every other drug you see that you think is okay

Hail, Ilong Ranger

Recently I've been attracting a lot of attention....from diseases. I've just recovered from food poisoning - I don't even know what I consumed that made me visit the toilet a couple of times a day - and now when I'm nearing the maximum limit of absences, I get the flu. As said by my aunt(who's a doctor), it might be because of my current low resistance - from recent recovery - against foreign entities invading my system.

Or maybe it's just colds coupled with a slight fever, but it still counts!

Decided on staying home for the day, I planned on finishing the plate due this morning before going to sleep last night so I wouldn't be lagging behind class. It was supposed to be a finalized version of one of our previous plate.

• Lost the original
• Technical pens clogged
• Too tired to stay awake

Yep...cleaned my tech pens instead.

Oh, I also lost another plate due tomorrow. Wow, I'm sooo fucked unlucky.

Might as well redo everything, though I'll still try to find the other plate. It takes time tracing buildings and its surrounding entourage.

Hibernationalization

Inactivity and 'Doodle Mind-boggling'

Sorry for my 2 month absence! I was out of the country and I was just too lazy to post any inspirational and boring posts. I didn't manage to go online while I was abroad because I was too engrossed with everything - mainly due to my first out-of-the-country trip! 

At Venice Beach!

Yes, I'm that skinny Asian neuter. No, I do not want to show my face. Yes, those are bikes.

Anyway I haven't gone through my photos of my trip, hence still not uploading it. It's been a while since I've updated my display picture for no one to see. loser alert

Now let me introduce you to this simple, cool, complex and addictive(opinion) flash game called Doodle God. It's also available for App download.

In this game you combine two elements to form a new element, until you reach the total number of elements which is 115. It took me 3 nights (not full 24 hour days) to finish this without using hints, since hints are for sissies.

...mind-boggling piece of flash game that makes you so frustrated you miss a meal of dinner.

Although I had to give it to the creator  you can't leave halfway through it. It's as if you need to finish it. Every time you manage to create a new element you know there's a new possibility of combining something with it. The elements were also interesting enough that sometimes logic doesn't apply.

I'd let the 1st one pass, but Worm+Swamp=Snake?!

I therefore conclude that logic is not applicable in real life.

Insomnia

Insomnia and REMs

Rapid Eye Movement, to those who doesn't know.

So here I am lying in bed with a cup of hot milk beside me, careful not to spill it onto my covers, not that I'd get spilled on but I'd get scolded for it.

I do wish this cup of milk would be my ticket to the first person fantasies that I dream of, though this body of mine is lactose intolerant, obviously stated from my last post. So I ain't going into details anymore.

Oh, sweet release of sleeping powder that I crave to be sprinkled upon, where are you? Why is it that you always arrive late whenever I have to be EARLY for SOMETHING IMPORTANT the next day...or later since it's already past midnight.

I'm getting tired of researching and reading through the articles and tips and tricks on how to get those REMs so I could just have a peaceful shut eye, the different versions of "How To Avoid Insomnia! Symptoms and Remedies" by authors, doctors, and know-it-alls.

I'm not even sure if this is insomnia or just me getting used to not feeling the sense of "sleepiness".

...I think both are the same, tho. *sigh

Problem is, the one (and obviously the most reiterated) solution is to avoid being in front of a monitor; whether a desktop, TV, etc, is the hardest part to follow! Then the usually same follow up is that "to read before sleeping" and "drink milk and other foods that are rich in Serotonin - one classic example is the banana.

It doesn't work on my part since:

• I'm usually 24/6 online
• Or reading a book in one seating - even if it isn't a "one-seating" type of book
• will delve on this on a different post, if it still interests me
• I'm a bookworm and reading doesn't get me to sleep, that tip is invalid!
• Might be caused of my excessive exposure to the LEDCVTH whatever lights that comes from the monitor
• I'm, for the third time, lactose intolerant
• I usually ignore the bananas in the middle of the table.
• too lazy to peal off skin.

...Painful realization strikes me that I'm the one to blame for this self-inflicted insomnia. Ughh, f*cking irony.

Anyway, Good Night to you guys and have a sweet dream or a beautiful nigtmare LOOOOL.

A Diary...rhea

April 10, 2012

This is the first of many narration of any unusual, intriguing, absurd, or practically normal day-to-day events that occurred that is worthy enough for a single post. I'd always label them "diary, daily events" so as to separate it with my works, if I do have, and will have, any.

If you're not into these sort of things, or my life, whichever you deem more tedious, then you're free to not read.

Oh, and sorry if it's a day late. People need to rest after a long day outside...literally.
 -------------------------

So, yesterday I went to my university to meet up with a friend and get my transfer documents, even if I'm not entirely sure where and why I would transfer, and that I was instructed to get these papers for, well, "just-to-be-sure" circumstances.

We then went a series of painstaking misunderstandings, long queues, wrong directions, and exorbitant fees for just a piece of copy of our transcript, consuming at most an hour for it.

But I presume it's because of the recent end of the one week vacation to respect the Holy Week, where every Catholic is obliged to sit for 3 hours watching re-enactments of certain events in the Bible, notably that of the "Washing of the Feet". I guess it wouldn't be that bad on the day of enrollment...if I do stay.

Going back, I then left for a classmate's house to exchange, or more like barter, games on the PS3, since it saves money with the help of borrowing and circulating games between friends. Although this wouldn't  be possible anymore with the rumored release of the PS4, Orbis.

Hello to the future of complete rule against piracy, if borrowing from a friend IS considered as one.

During my stay there, my stomach started to grumble, not in the way as I would know that I'm hungry, more of a sign that I ate/drank something that could've upset my stomach, which is my dreaded enemy: Milk.

Oh, the wonders of betting that just a milkshake wouldn't harm me.

I sure did lose that bet.

It isn't much really, unless your friend decides to share it to his parents, with them buying me medicine for my on going battle against the toilet seat, and ultimately losing my dignity in that household...

...Oh the shame, in extremist terms

 -----------

Well I guess, summing up this random and irrelevant article that I just made, we can conclude that there's an unspoken rule to never tell a family member secrets that are often better kept hidden, or released in secrecy in the confines of the bathroom.

But, in all honesty, this event sure sparked an idea for a part of my story board - whatever I may create with my limited imagination.

At least it's a start!

Random bits of self-reflection: Household somewhat off my to-go list anymore, even if my reason is as shallow as a pond created by melted ice-cream.

A wick is needed

So after all this time I managed to muster enough courage, and spare time, to start a blog. Reason? Well, I wanted to at least make a defining change in my life by doing something, like writing down my thoughts, so as to develop myself as someone who can write and not just scribble.

...Well that was uncalled for, but I'm sure my point got through.

Anyway, this IS my first time making a blog so I'm anxious and excited at the same time on what will happen. I mean, I think it's going to be fun sharing my ideas on stuff to other people, if I am talking to one right now. Heck, I'd still write either way!

So, before I light up this wick (pardon me for this shoddy line) I'd like to thank the people that inspired me to write and open this blog; specifically my older sister for being both a role model and a rival, and a friend that believed, I think, in me.

Do excuse this very short introduction of mine. Thank you!
