Good thing I woke up early last June 17. I was getting my to-do list done in the morning before I had to meet-up with bf. I checked my cp around 10:30AM (it's always on silent-mode) and read a message from YEHEY regarding the blog event of Italianni's. Very surprised, I asked if I really made it in the cut because I didn't receive any email. Since I submitted my registration, I kept checking my email almost every minute and even my spam folder, but still nothing. The reminder really surprised me. So Mac and I had to rush. ^_^V

The registration was 11AM, but we arrived 12:30PM. Talk about super late! Fortunately they just started so it was cool. I think we only missed 1-2 dishes.



Iggy, a fellow-blogger, is very welcoming and quickly passed the food to us as Mac and I took our seats. Italianni's served a lot of food -- chicken salad, different fish dishes, steak, desserts, shooters, etc. I never got to list down the names of everything I ate. Too busy eating and trying to take pictures. *lol*

Mac and I werent't given plates right away, so this is what we ate first:



( Cutting because of the pic spam *lol* )

Different actor than before? I like the first Punisher movie. There's something likeable about it somehow. *lol*



Punisher - War Zone doesn't seem exciting based on this trailer. ~_~ The Punisher looks lame.

Seems like I shouldn't have downloaded Firefox 3 yet. Majority of the plugins I frequently use don't work! I might switch back to Firefox 2, but the quick tabs and that amazing thing with the address bar is too nice to resist. ~_~

1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll tell you the very next person/place/event I think of when I think of you.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal.

^_^

Before I just end this post, here is one of my favorite Anna Tsuchiya songs:

( Cut of the auto-play :P )

(Ugh, embedding that surely destroyed the xhtml validity of my site. Any ideas on how to make embeds xhtml valid? :/)

aqrn785, I can't seem to access your blog. :(

I want this shoes. That's going to be in my to-buy list. *_*

I went to my bf's place yesterday. I showed him the Lameboy emulator I just copied to my DS Lite this morning. He wanted to play old GB/GBC Pokemon games. XD I also showed him DSOrganize which is teh awesome. Let's see if it will really help me be more organized. HAHAHHAHA~ WTF... I have the Belle de Jour planner, the Starbucks journal (but I actually use that more for literally journaling), and a Nokia 9300i... Still, I feel so disorganized! XDDD I gotta stop procrastinating.

Anyway, moving on... I stayed there until, uhh, 8:30PM. We just smoked and hanged out with his friends. I even saw the person I didn't want to see. ~_~ I dislike her a lot because I find her, hmm, a disgrace to the female population. *lol* I know I have no right to say that. It's just that, if she has the guts to run away from home, she must be able to take care of herself instead of becoming a freeloader. *shakes head*

Any of my friends on Plurk yet? XD It's highly addicting. It has become the next IRC. *ROFL*

Miyamoto Kano's Not/Love is sweet. ^_^ It's been (another) long while again since I read yaoi. It was actually Tenshi wo Kudasai by Minamino Mashiro that I read before Not/Love. I can't get past the 3rd chapter. The story's just so confusing. ~_~

I'm joining because the fox is too cute. *lol*



Joiz and dementia sent me invites to PLURK. I was going to ignore because I kinda hate signing up on random stuff. Haha~ XD Sorry, guys! It's that sometimes I think one out of 10 sites I join will send spam messages. D: I also feel that I have to update them sites when I really don't want to. But I checked PLURK and it was too cute (again!) to pass. XD It works like Twitter, but seems better. (Because Twitter hates me for some reason that I can't access their site 95% of the time.)

I want the RYUK figure! *_*

Is it summer again? The heat's sucking out all my energy. My Dad, on the other hand, is having high bp; kinda like going on a heat stroke. :/ That started during their WB training at Boracay. *shakes head*

The other day, I was supposed to stay home and sleep. But I remembered I had to ship some items, so I went with my 'rents first to Baclaran to pick-up a drill they wanted to be fixed before we headed to Mall of Asia. I dropped by at Air21 while my parents headed to the Supermarket for merienda (snack/s). I joined them right after. I had Chinese fresh lumpia that is very full of garlic. D: It was hard to get off the taste from my mouth even with brushing.

I planned on practicing the night our new lineup for the Friday the 13th gig, but ended up playing SMB3 (NES), playing WEWY, editing ads in eBay, and cleaning my guitar. *lol* I can't stop playing with Diego (kinda sounds pervy *lol*). Effin' addicting games! WEWY is so addicting that I even got its soundtrack to listen to while I ain't playing. Fufu~ And! I still haven't finished FFXII. ^_^V I just realized that what sucks with old games is that you can't save. I had to keep Diego on until I could finish SMB3 or else I'd restart from World 1.

I played until 5:30AM while I waited for my computer to load. Firefox kept freezing. It does that when I have GMail, Google Notebook, and Plurk open along with other tabs. I wanted to finish editing my ads in my eBay account before going to sleep, so that when I wake up I would start and finish other things. *lol* I really should change that habit. Anyway, my Dad woke me up at 7:30AM. I was going with them for the weekly grocery because I needed to go to Air21 to ship some items. We went home by lunch then I fell asleep right after. I didn't wake up until 4PM when Mac suddenly came in my room. He told me that he and Rayton kept texting me and buzzing our doorbell. They've been waiting so long downstairs. Haha~ I was so deep in sleep. EJ, our trumpet player, kept texting me as well. ^_^V

I fixed myself up to get ready for band practice. After some time, we're (hopefully) playing again. XD Announcement of the gig to be posted later. All I can say for now is that we have a 45-minute set. I haven't played with my guitar for months that my fingers hurt again. -_-

I sometimes read Paulo Coelho's blog. The things he writes and shares makes me wonder about me and my life. In his recent post, titled In the Wheel of Time, he talks about Carlos Castañeda's reflections. In the first text, Carlos Castañeda talks about intention being the most important thing.

Intention is the important thing: for the old sorcerers of Mexico, intention (intento) is a force that intervenes in all aspects of time and space. To be able to use and manipulate this force calls for impeccable behavior. A warrior’s final goal is to be able to lift his head above the rut where he is confined, look around him, and change what he wants. To do so he needs to have discipline and pay attention all the time.

An intention has several meanings. But from what I understand int this text, it is a purpose. Intentions can be done if you really want to and for that you have to be disciplined. I find that the most crucial behavior to achieve your intentions.

The second text says that nothing is easy. Then further explains, "A man who seeks knowledge must have the same behavior as a soldier going to war: absolutely attentive, afraid, respectful and utterly confident."

Things are learned with effort. A person with a talent in drawing doesn't mean they're naturally born with it. A person who can hardly draw when they were young can become a talented artists should he/she hone that ability. I could hardly draw a face when I was about 8 years old. I could only draw stick figures. But when I reached the age of 10/11, I practiced drawing until I knew I was getting good at it. (But I never considered myself a talented artist *rofl*) When I stopped, I found drawing HARD. Another example, is a rich person whose riches will all be gone if they're not efficient.

Lastly -- the end is an ally.

A man who knows that death is approaching every day tries everything, but without feeling anxiety.

I guess this is what they say about treating your everyday as if it were your last. There are times I thought of dying to ease the pain, to free myself from worries and people I hate. But what stops me are the things I want to pursue and do; I'm still young and I know there are still a lot of things ahead of me. I feel that I still have a lot to do to gain satisfaction in life even with the ups and downs as they are part of the foundation of my learning and loving. Dying would also mean not being with the people I love a lot. I also don't want to become the reason for their sadness.

With those thoughts, I feel rejuvenated. What seems the end for me has just become a way for my improvement.

There are other reflections shared by Paulo Coelho. Go here to read the rest. I apologize for any wrong grammar or if I didn't make sense. My meds are making me sleepy. ~_~

OT - I CAN FINALLY DOWNLOAD FROM RAPIDSHARE! Thanks, RS, for the HAPPY HOURS! I hope I will be able to download a lot before the happy hourS ends.

Taken from Carol ♥

If you're going to take this, change the title because I couldn't think of anything else. :P

( Read the rest :3 )

Thanks, dementia, for the reply in my drama post. XD That has made me warm and happy. Fufufu~ I will need your Y!M, so I can rant to you 24/7 about my problems. XDDD *rofl* Just kidding! Anyway, thanks so much again. I also had my toys and pr0n to get my mind off things. XD

Oh well, my toys and pr0n won't make me forever and ever satisfied. :P Speaking of toys, I was doing some blog-hopping before the dramz. I saw this Heath Ledger as Joker figure by Hot Toys (yeah, it's a figure... Not actually a toy "toy"... @_@;;;):

( Joker D: )

Saw these in Toyconph's Multiply.

I want one in my room! But since I'm not such an avid fan of figures (what I really want are Gundam kits and the Yotsuba figure only), I'd rather spend the dough on film, toy camera, books, or manga. :3 I can only stare at this scary, but greatly done figure. *sighs*

I have started watching Soul Eater and Kyouran Kazoku Nikki. WTH happened to Soul Eater? I really like its manga version because the art is very, very cool. But the anime art is just *bleh*. XP It's like artists of Shaman King and the Gorillaz have joined forces for this series. ~_~ Also, why does the story seem slower than the manga? Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, on the other hand, is hilarious. XD A seemingly normal guy is married (as part of his job) to a cat-looking girl and they have 5 kids. They're not all human though -- a jellyfish, a lion, a robot, gay _son_, and a physically abused daughter. Ouka's (the father with the task of saving the world by marrying the cat-girl) expression was hilarious seeing one of his kids is gay just when he thought he finally has a normal son. XDDD
