Due to spambots, inactivity, and most of my friends being purged, gone, or being available on IM anyway, I think I'm leaving. The best I can promise is that I might peek once in a while, and maybe upload a few pictures from time to time. Otherwise, the in-crowd is elsewhere, and I believe I'll benefit more by being elsewhere, too ( Read more... )

Happy Rabbit Year, everyone.

Still on the lookout for that new job. I think I've finally struck gold, with a string of interviews and exams these past two weeks. I feel that I just need to iron things out on Friday.

I really should have made a review and update on my life's status on the Jan 1 new year, but a lot of things got in the way. Most of ( Read more... )

I've a lot on my plate for the coming year. It's the prospect of a new job mainly. I opted not to go home to Davao City, so I'd be first in line for new year's job offers in Luzon.

It sucks. I wanted to see my parents again (thankfully I did via their trips here over the past 3 months), and I wanted to attend my old friend's wedding. But, I think ( Read more... )

I honestly, truthfully don't get it.

Apparently some of ghetto-ass-ghettos on this street have started calling me "Harry Potter*" when my back is turned. I thought they were calling me "magbobote" (bottle man, or someone who takes away glass and plastic refuse for recycling). But then, I listened more closely. They're trying this as an insult, for ( Read more... )

My grandfather and his friend came over last Sunday. They watched the Pacquiao boxing bout while drunk.

It's amazing sight. They shadow-boxed and cheered with each jab.
Our househelp cringed and almost cried when Pac was on the ropes. Everyone cheered when Pac was on the verge of a win.

My gramps' friend then claimed that it was his shadow-boxing that ( Read more... )

Just a couple of days removed from my first SF4 tournament. Went 0-2 and out, but oh well. It was Manila's finest, and I had little time to prepare. It was also Super, and as such didn't know the match-ups. (I still play at the arcades for most part.) At any rate, I did get a few wins here and there in casuals, so there's definitely room for ( Read more... )

Been watching a lot of Digimon with my sister lately. It's an enjoyable show, and its time slot on local cable is convenient. We've watched Adventures (and the first movie) and Tamers so far.

I got an Eva vibe, especially from the music of Adventures/endboss of Tamers.

Come to think of it, Digimon is like a kiddy Eva. A buncha kids are brought ( Read more... )

I made it. I made it! I still can't believe it.

A year of learning from the shortcomings of the previous year... it's paid off. Now, on to a better job hopefully. I still have a month to rest, at least.

I'm late, but I can't help it. It was a busy day.

And then I saw this, and this.

So, I saw this ad in the newspaper the other day.

I kept refusing to believe this was real when scans of it first hit the internet. I should have learned from that Chun movie, huh?

I saw the trailer Last May, when I accompanied my sister and cousins to Shrek 4. The little kids were like, "Wow Tekken!" and the teens and the adults were like, " ( Read more... )
