At long last, our Internet connection was finally restored yesterday. I was only able to blog about it today because I was busy tweaking the Celadon website again. Actually, almost every day, it seems, I - or someone - feels that something in the website needs a little correcting, so Rachelle and I make little changes and updates to the website regularly. If anyone wants to visit the website, it's at
http://www.ateneo-celadon.com. Rachelle and I hope that we've made the website navigation-friendly and informative enough for both members and non-members alike. We also hope that the website will contain enough information for potential members to know about Celadon.
This just in: my Battle Royale schoolgirl costume is done, and I'm all geared up for Mangaholix! Yes, I'm still a little scared - no, make that very scared, but I have to overcome this if I really want to cosplay. But irony strikes again. It seems like almost everyone I know and expected to attend the convention with me can't make it for some reason. :( Tessa isn't going. Leslie says she can't, either. Andrea is not replying to my text messages; I do not know if she doesn't have any load right now (the paranoid side of me actually fears that she might be mad at me; hence, the ignoring of my text messages). Bien isn't going. I do not know if Ferdie is going. :( Willy isn't going. Jhenel isn't going. Thea most likely isn't going. Maia isn't going (haha, I sort of invited her, even if she isn't really interested in anime). I don't know if Zhandra can go but I do not think I can pick her up at her place. :(
Why does this always happen to me? If this were a scene from a play, this would make delicious dramatic irony. The protagonist gears herself up for cosplay. She tries to calm her nerves and to strengthen her resolve. She is excited because this is going to be the ultimate reunion with the friends she hasn't seen in a month or so. They previously said they were going, and they were all so excited, too. And then, suddenly, no one seems to be able to make it. What to do? Sometimes I feel like the universe is conspiring against me. This is the nth time that it happened; it happened on my birthday party last year and it also happened several times before. Only now I can't skip Mangaholix, because my costume will go to waste! Someone please tell me that you're going to Mangaholix. I will die of fright if I have to cosplay without a friend accompanying me for moral support.

Enlistment time is coming soon. I'm really happy that I got a wonderful random number - 22, my first ever two-digit random number! I have to overcome my dislike of getting up early so that I won't miss out on my enlistment time - I'd be a major idiot if that happened. So I hope that the alarm clock or my body clock won't fail me during enlistment time. I also hope that I can have at least PE class together with friends of mine.

Someone please, please, please tell me that you're going to Mangaholix and that you'll keep me company so that I won't be lonely? *tries to make puppy dog eyes*
Dear Universe, please do not slap me in the face, like you do ever so often.
