This entry is LONG OVERDUE, but I've spent the last few days drowning in paperwork -- this was something that I did on purpose, as I wanted to make sure that I did all my teacherly stuff before the actual break. That way, I'd be free to party slack off be productive in other, less academic areas of my life throughout the Christmas season. I CAN HAPPILY COLLAPSE IN A CORNER SOMEWHERE NOW THAT EVERYTHING IS DONE! \o/

Srsly, though, this Responsible Adult thing? Sometimes I want to kick myself in the head for it. I might work myself straight to the coffin at this rate. Somebody needs to tell me when to slow down. *fail*

kye_kestrel had her birthday celebration last Saturday over at Powerplant; anothermiyaw hitched a ride with me from Katipunan, after my Texts and Textuality Class. Traffic was bad, so we kinda ended up shooting the breeze for the good hour that we spent swimming through a sea of cars. Met up with the boss and yukitsu once we got there: everyone else - khrusten, 77ws, ficcentricity and lonelybusiness who is fail because she thought we were meeting up in Glorietta - arrived later. Cue dinner shenanigans. Cue crazy gifts. KRISTEL, UNDERSTAND THE CHAOS YOU BROUGHT DOWN UPON ALL OF US WITH THOSE GIFTS. B|

Spent the next few days after that Drowning in Papers whenever I was home and doing school shenanigans whenever I was in Ateneo. Finally managed to finish up everything sometime last night, and today was light and easy. Had my first Christmas party with the English Department. That was pretty much an awesome way to kick off my break. ♥


Goals That Will Probably Not Be Met For Christmas Break 2008:
* Work on my pitch to Image Comics. I'm planning on pitching Endtimes. *crosses fingers*
* BOND WITH MY PS2. ASDK;LHG;LAHSDGHADSG TOO MANY PEOPLE POSTING ABOUT PERSONA 4.
* BOND WITH MY PSP. I'VE ONLY BEEN USING IT FOR MUSIC. orz
* Catch up with my backlogged anime, manga, movies and TV series. The list keeps growing, whut.
* Catch up with all the books I've bought but haven't even really cracked open.
* Sort all those images. I HAD A GOOD START.
* Fix my game plan for the rest of the semester with my kids.
* Write more Return on Investment after I've finished all my Christmas gift fics.

Now that I've mentioned it, I should be posting some of the gift fics that I managed to finish before work came rolling in. In the meantime, I'm pimping out the fics that I wrote for kye_kestrel - I did my usual ## number of drabbles = to celebrant's age thing for her~

My thirteenth month pay thingie came in last week, and Mom just put it on time deposit - this means a huge rate of return in terms of interest every month. This suddenly makes some plans that I had for 2009 very feasible, so I've decided to go for a major Poverty Plan to make sure that I achieve them at the projected dates.

Here's hoping that I make it.

[/vague]

I'm posting this because my layout displays the calendar thingie for entries and I'm weirded out by the fact that I have consistently missed out on posting on Tuesdays this month.

I FINALLY WROTE SOMETHING FOR MY PERSONA 3 LONGFICS.

...Applause, applause! D:

Um. Well. Some of you guys already know that I've had these two longfic ideas that have been bugging me ever since I finished the game, but school work and general laziness kept me from getting around to working on them. With school out and Holy Week on the horizon, though, I figured that I'd spend the next few days working exclusively on all my longfic projects. I know I ought to be looking towards my originals, but I figure that the better approach would be to write and finish most of, if not all of, the stuff for my smaller ones, and then just drabble whenever I get tired. That way, I get more done in the long run rather than stay fixated on a single project without actually doing anything about it.

*breathes* So yeah. Basically, I think I've met my goal for today. Once I finish doing some stuff for the Epic P3 Sequel Idea, I will see what I can do for my TYL KHR one. Been pestering khursten, yukitsu and kye_kestrel endlessly for ideas... I sure hope I didn't end up annoying any of them for nothing. x_X

WHICH NOW REMINDS ME!

FLIST PEOPLE WHO ARE INTO BOTH KHR AND OOFURI: If, let's say, Yamamoto was on a pro baseball team, who among the Oofuri cast do you think he should be teamed up with? I have my own ideas at the moment, but it wouldn't hurt to get your opinions on it. Thoughts, people?

Writing stuff aside, I didn't do much today other than watch khursten spazz about Eureka 7 in my chat window while alternately talking KHR/randomness with kye_kestrel and sindapa. Oh, and khursten did something Unquestionably Evil by showing me KHR merchandise, which now leaves me torn between buying a Gokudera mug, a Hibari mug, a stuffed Hibird, or that whole damned set and more. A glorious vacation is glorious! o/

I've been getting hungry easier these days. @_@ I wonder if it's because I changed my diet and lessened my overall food intake.

CRAP FINAL FANTASY 7 CRISIS CORE IS COMING OUT IN ENGLISH SOON AND I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED FINAL FANTASY TACTICS YET. BUT WAIT I CAN'T GAME YET. MUST. WRITE. MOAR!!!!

Also: This is very, VERY bad crack for a rabid KHR fan like myself.


EDIT: HO SHIT QUICK MEGATEN FANS CLICK HERE, HERE, HERE AND HERE I DEMANDS IT! O___O


EDIT #2: And lo, even more bad crack:

...Got my first papercut in years over at the STAR today. @_@ I'd nearly forgotten how much those hurt like a bitch.

EDITS PLZ.

HEADS UP TO THE PANZER DIVISION: The campaign is definitely up for this weekend. As it stands now the venue is at miyachan's apartment, but I want to see hands for anyone who can offer a second choice in case something happens.

There was free food from California Pizza Kitchen in the office today. I also met three of the other staff members, and read an article about a 17-year-old spoiled brat who buys enough clothes and accessories to pay for my tuition twice over every single week and then actually has the nerve to think "I'M NOT A DITZ I'M JUST MISUNDERSTOOD! D:"

For more details, check the Lifestyle section of the STAR tomorrow.


And this is the real reason for this post. Two for the 69 Challenge and the rest for iWHORE!


Apologies, as always, to those who end up getting this twice. @_@
