In spite of what I said in my last entry, I ended up sleeping sometime before midnight. >_> Woke up hella groggy, but I managed to drag myself back out to Ateneo for the next teaching workshop. It actually started late because no one came in on time... if I had known they'd do that, I would've slept in. =_= Y halo thar, real life.

This teaching workshop wasn't as lively as the first one, but it was still extremely helpful and very enlightening -- I've got a lot of ideas on how to do my syllabi now, but I still can't say that I'm completely confident about things. Oh, and I met even more smoket buddies cool people among my colleagues. I don't remember the last time I had so much fun during lunch. I think I surprised them with the amount of food that I ate though.

There was supposed to be an afternoon session on teaching English 12, but since I won't be teaching that this sem I decided against going there in favor of enrolling for my classes.

( Schedule + Gabs ABOUT said schedule. )

So. Incredibly. Sleepy. Thank god for the fact that I finished my registration -- that leaves tomorrow open to sleep in, run around for some last-minute shopping and kick back to do my syllabus while I wait for evening to come. ♥

[Poll #1190933]

I was inspired to do this by lonelybusiness and kye_kestrel, and by the fact that I actually haven't uploaded music for a long time. If you guys have other suggestions that don't fit into the ticky-boxes up there, or if you have specific fanmix requests, just comment with them. :o

Didn't bother writing up an entry yesterday because I was busy fixing Alistair v2.0 up... I am happy to report that he is fully functional, and all my programs are up and running. Downloads are up to speed too. Subjected the PC to my usual Test of Time by leaving him on the whole night, and when I woke up to check his tempterature, the case was still as cool as ice. :D

After Alistair!PC was properly souped up, I broke my brain over fixed Aidan!Laptop up -- he's been in dire need of repartitioning, since Windows XP eats up a crapload of space and 10 GB just isn't enough for the main drive anymore. That kept me up pretty late the other night (had to transfer files, and there was some confusion with the partitioning program), BUT OTHERWISE, I AM TRIUMPHANT. Now I don't need to drag Maes!ExternalHD over to the office in order to do downloads there~

With both of those out of the way, I'll have to turn my attentions to Kaien!PC (formerly Alistair v1.0) and fix him up, as I had promised my Dad. That's not a problem at all, though: Ubuntu is SO much easier to fix than Windows, and my Dad doesn't want any specific program on the thing just yet.

Woke up late in the morning (TECHNOLOGY, THIS IS WHAT YOU DO TO ME), so I pretty much had to eat breakfast and hop right into the car in order to go to Medical City with my Mom -- the endocrinologist we were referred to is finally back in the country, so it's high time that we checked with her regarding The Thyroid Drama.

( Hospital talk and randomness relevant to that. )

( The rest of the day. )

---

I've got an early morning appointment at the skin clinic to do the usual upper lip hair-zapping ritual -- Mom won't be with me this time, though, since she and Dad are heading over to Batangas tomorrow. I'll be going to the office afterward in order to make up for the day I missed.

yukitsu, THANK YOU FOR RENEWING MY PAID ACCOUNT, BUT NOW I HAVE FIVE EXTRA ICON SLOTS AND I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM YET. D8 Or maybe I do, but that entails fixing my folders. Again.

This post was supposed to have my shot at the Text-based Paranoia Meme attached to it, but I think I've written enough for the night. Somebody remind me to continue uploading my backlogged drabbles to stitchedophelia and to my FF.net account tomorrow. @_@

Went back to the office today~ it was kinda annoying, though, because the LAN cable I use to directly connect to the teh awesome godly office intarwebz connection was jacked for some reason. u_u Ended up subsiding on the wireless, but that wasn't really bad because it's actually a little slower but a little more stable than my direct connection at home.

...I should be disturbed by that, shouldn't I?

Uh, anyway, work's been slow, so I spent most of my time oggling P4 with kye_kestrel, chatting with khursten (I assaulted her first -- I need material for a D18 fic I'm planning! ficcentricity, IT'S THAT ONE! *A*) and bugging synatri. I also managed to get a whole bunch of drabbles done; most of them are for kitsune_jade (her birthday's coming up) and a few are for the people who pwned me in this meme.

I also whored some long overdue DDL manga links. I had to be careful, though: the front pages of the sites I was downloading for were SNFWS!

...I was yawning the whole day. I think I better sleep early tonight.

Fandom bitch moment of the day: Wat. Wtf is an Oofurian. More importantly, WTF IS THAT ART IT'S UGLY.

Have a meme, people.

Name a character (or real person) and I'll give you
(a) three facts about them from my personal fanon,
(b) a reason he/she sucks,
(c) a reason he/she is awesome,
(d) five things that never happened to that character/real person,
(e) five people that character/real person did/refused to fall in love with and how. Have at it!

EDIT: OH SHIT I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THIS IS MY 666TH ENTRY.

BEFORE ALL ELSE:

kitsune_jade, your birthday is coming up. Please compile a list of prompts/characters/pairings/ideas that you'd like me to write as a part of your birthday gift. You have 28 drabbles, give or take a few according to a length. And sorry, no, I don't think I'll be able to do your crossovers. ^_^;

ALSO!

Answer this meme if you ♥♥♥ me!

Slow, slow day at the office... I spent it mooching off the bandwidth fixing the files that were dumped on me last week. Nothing new went up, but once everything is fixed, it'll be busy again. Of course, the REAL highlight was the internet connection itself down there - my torrents were fucking wild. I must've downloaded at least 20 80-350 MB files while I was there today. I wish my connection at home was that snazzy. D:

There was also that short but nice conversation I had with laurgasm, prompted by one of her posts on Twitter. See, apparently, this chick made it on national television for... and drumroll please:

For keeping a "paper journal". Aka, notebook. Aka, doing the remarkable thing of writing with a pen and paper in this fast-paced, modernized world.

Oh, Philippines. You have reached a whole new level of illiteracy.

That said. How's about somebody pay ME big bucks for scribbling in my notebooks? Maybe somebody should make a Pinky of me while they're at it. :D

Going back to ADMU tomorrow.

DO NOT WANT!!!111oneoneone

Okay, so maybe I'm not THAT averse to trudging back on campus, given the fact that I kinda sorta have to. I'm still missing that last recommendation letter, and this is my only real chance to submit my requirements since I'll be in Batanes from Friday until Monday. There's also that small issue of submitting my application to the ADMU English Department. *crosses her fingers* pyrosinferno has given me a lot of support and tips in that direction, but who knows what'll happen, right? I'll just have to hope for the best. B|

Band of the moment: 65daystofstatic. They sound like the love child of Bloc Party, Mogwai and the Mars Volta. I haven't been this into an instrumental band since... well, since a long way back.

For serious. With titles like "Welcome to the Times", "Aren't We Still Running?", "Drove Through Ghosts to Get Here" and "I Swallowed Hard, Like I Understood", how can you go wrong?

What's funny about this band is that I discovered them through rabid downloading of KHR fan soundtracks.

Not so randomly: Paolo hung around the office today.

We're living in the same house, and we'll probably end up studying on the same campus. Now, even my work place isn't safe.

Our paths have crossed far too much for comfort lately.
