the kangaroo communique --> back-up style!

GETTING THIS IN BEFORE TAG RAPE ENSUES YET AGAIN.

Petrik celebrated his birthday with the rest of the Punzalan kids on the 9th with a delishus lunch in the office! It's kind of lulzy how half my family has birthdays this month, with me being one of them. ANYWAY, it was really nice, lounging around and talking with the bros that I don't usually get to see around~

After that, I met up with khursten and yukitsu in order to check up on B. My prayers still go out to her - she's had a rough time as of late, and that, for those of you who do know what's up, is a dire understatement.

Slept late into the next morning due to srs plottage for theskytides and yescomrade museboxing, and then zoomed off to ADMU after I woke up from sleeping like a total rock! I've gotten most of my pre-sem teacher stuff out of the way, and I got to catch up with my colleagues in the English Department, which is always cool.

Best part about yesterday, though, was hanging out with lainewell, dark_profanity and their friend Viktor after I gave up on finishing my registration! MUCH INSANITY ENSUED.

I'm currently chillaxing at home - I feel the need to rest, since my hours have been odd lately. Enjoying the shiny laptop speakers that my dad has loaned to me indefinitely, along with the fact that we seem to have fixed our internet connection (with no thanks to PLDT). See, my dad figured that some of our defective phones might be bleeding into the connection, since we're all still using one line... now we're thinking of getting a direct line for the net from the box in order to improve it further. When we all have the time to get someone to do it for us. IN THE MEANTIME, THOUGH, IT IS GOOD ENOUGH. *w*

And on other random things:

• signifies and g3ssh0ku, ILU both. ♥
  
• Nnnn school coming up next week. I don't want it but I kind of do!
  
• My little brother is a man now. I feel so proud, watching him drive. ;w;
  
• ...Why am I considering apping at other RPs again.
  

Yeah okay, back to tag rape. orz


EDIT - Tried and tested: every single time I praise my connection, it hiccups.

So the Punzalan clan dragged itself out of Metro Manila over the weekend in order to attend my brother Petrik's wedding celebration to his wife, Yas. They've already been civilly married for the past five years now, but you know how it goes with us Catholics: it's the Church wedding that seems to mean so much more.

( OMG, IT'S A TEAL DEER! )

I woke up to my dad telling me that the internet connection was apparently back to its usual speed - testing it out downstairs verified this, but I went with him to the office anyway because I figured that it could be a serious fluke.

Apologies to those I didn't tag or talk to the whole day today: I was hacking away at my fic backlog, with moderate success. Dump's in the last part of this post, for the interested. ♥

The internet connection was down when I got home, as predicted - it only came around maybe an hour or so ago, and it seems slow again. I'll be staying home tomorrow because the PLDT folks are scheduled to come here and rig us up with a new plan.

Also: seriously considering dropping some RPs sometime soon. I'm also lazy to fix the app that I sent in since it's in need of some minor revisions... I'll prolly get to it once I've cleared out more of my writing backlog.

Head's up to rainy_takako and mlina for this set. I'll be working on things for akaru_hana, yukitsu and maybe redmoonmurder and mlina again for the rest of the week.


( And now, ficcage! )

Holy Week is always interesting, for a number of reasons.

This year was no exception.

Semi-frustrated that I wasn't able to write the whole weekend, but my wrist was being weird again. I guess it couldn't be avoided. orz

Will catch up once I'm sure that it's fine!

Not-so-randomly: one thing I really like about writing by request is that I feel it helps me grow. Makes me write stuff that I normally WOULDN'T write, and all.

Overall, it's never a hassle. I'm even happier when the ones who requested are happy with what I've written for them.

I've FINALLY caught up with One Piece. I can't say that I'm as impressed with it as I might have thought I'd be, but I suppose it was worth the read. I'm also making good time with Gintama, and that is always cool. |D

Now to reread Full Metal Alchemist and catch up on Kekkaishi.

Beyond the animu, I've also finally updated my icons on both relevant accounts and changed my Plurk layout to something so terribly not-worksafe, it's glorious. ♥

Little things like this make my world go 'round at the moment~

Currently in the office now, to catch up on downloads and do all of the other things that only a decent connection will allow me to do. I feel I've caught up with RP duties a little TOO quickly - I'm still waiting on a pending application, so I'm a little reluctant to start working on the apps of the other characters I've got planned. I don't have any hanging logs either (or more like, I've tagged them so I'm just waiting on the other party), so... yeah. o_o

As for things on the home front, I spent a good part of yesterday moving things out of my room. Dad has Big Plans for renovation, so I'll be living like a hobo until the construction and repainting finishes~

Oh. Now that Holy Week is over, I'm going to call PLDT and get that damned upgrade. More than a month of lol!internetz is time enough.

Writing this partially to let everyone on this side of the Internet know that I'm still very much alive, just totally swamped with real life things and generally lazy to post. Blogging requires a ridiculous amount of effort when most of the fun's moved to individual chat windows and Plurk. orz

Haven't changed out of my clothes yet either - am fresh from another faculty meeting on campus, and coming in a little later than usual because I wanted to get some work done while I was kicking around in the department. I figure, too, that if I dress down I'll just get lazy again, so. Yeah.

( And they called it TEAL DEER. )
