Much love to all of you, your friends and your families. ♥♥♥
This week has been absolutely lovely so far, with all these meets with friends~ it's just too bad that I wasn't able to go out with [livejournal.com profile] mlina. That would have made it even lovelier. :<

Also: Red Cliff was absolute win. HORSE PUNCHING, GET.

It's been a nice and quiet day at home for me, just like yesterday. Beautician came over to do my nails and some waxing (yeah, I'm preparing for Singapore, bite me), and I got to roll around and poke people that I don't often get to poke on IM ([livejournal.com profile] signifies, I'm looking at you). I also got to enable a lot of people to do a lot of shiny things, so that is always cool! Am also still on my jazz trip, since I'm working my way through the huge set of songs that [livejournal.com profile] khursten gave me. Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald are pure ♥, always and ever.

...Speaking of music. Let me tell you, flist, that the section of my external HD that I devote to my music finally ran out of space yesterday. Cue me madly scrambling around to distribute files to the laptop and less congested drives on my main PC.

This must be a sign. Guess I'm bringing home a new external HD and possibly a DS from my trip next week.

+ Above the thunder; Air Gear, Rika, for [livejournal.com profile] annotate
+ Bring me lasting light; Gintama, Gintoki, for [livejournal.com profile] khursten
+ In between the moon and you; Bleach meets Devil Summoner, Byakuya & Raidou + Ichigo, for [livejournal.com profile] kitsune_jade
+ Hell's bells
+
Splintering the night; FF7 meets FFT, Ramza & Cloud + Sephiroth, for [livejournal.com profile] kitsune_jade


And my belated birthday set for [livejournal.com profile] starkissed:

+ A playfully dangerous stranger; XXXHOLiC, Doumeki & Watanuki
+ How fire took water to wife; XXXHOLiC, Clow & Yuuko

+ Rose, oh pure contradiction; KHR!, Hibari & Kyoko + Kusakabe
+ Private star systems; KHR!, Hibari & Kyoko
+ The heart of your gesture; Hibari & Kyoko


Pimped some of these on comms already, so you've prolly seen a few of them. Or you've already seen all of them, if you're following my fic journal. o_o
Quick update on the interview I mentioned last post: talk with the Chair went well. She says I've got an excellent record, and they're hoping to sign me on for another year with the department. The thing is, a lot of the old faculty members are returning, so there's a big chance that I won't be teaching as many classes as I was last year.

This is actually perfectly cool with me, because I'll just increase my load for my MA classes. I'll be earning less money, but studying IS a whole lot easier than teaching, much less studying AND teaching at the same time.

We talked a bit more about other things too, like how it's a good thing I'm sticking with the dept and srsly doing the scholar thing. She DID give me a fair warning about maximizing my semester (apparently she heard that I finished my sem rather early last sem, and with our New Nazi Administration that's frowned upon), but beyond that, all was well.

Changed the layout over at [livejournal.com profile] stitchedophelia due to that semi-creepy stalker person I mentioned before (although not in detail; you're going to have to ask me for that yourselves~), and I've finally got fics to pimp out. \o/


Fic Dump!






Gintama
+ But if I try to find you there are only shadows (Katsura & Takasugi, for [livejournal.com profile] rainy_takako)

Basch is extremely difficult to play, if only because of the speech pattern. ;; I do hope that I'll get used to it soon, the way I did with Raidou.

Speaking of RP-related things: World of Darkness folks, I have a proposal to make: why don't we move our game online? It'll be easier for us to do sessions, I think. Lemme know how you feel about that.

--And tomorrow: Batangas.
Friends, lovers and fellow music whores, answer this poll, please~ ♥

I've already started compiling the playlists and mixes that I will be posting, given the feedback that I've gotten from you guys. In order to prove that I've been working on it, here's the first set of links! :3

ExpandLove Songs Mix: The Last Love Song on Earth (SET ONE) )


I say Set One because I actually have a crapload of love-themed/sentimental/mushy songs to post. Also note that this particular mix is more of a playlist than anything else, so feel free to listen to them in any order.

OH ALSO. [livejournal.com profile] lonelybusiness, remember the list of songs you posted over here? I'd really like it if you could upload them on some file-sharing service somewhere. Limewire's being bitchy! >_<




Posted up some fanfiction at [livejournal.com profile] stitchedophelia~ all three of them were written in fulfillment of this meme and the people who totally pwned me in it. [livejournal.com profile] psychoshoujo, [livejournal.com profile] lonelybusiness and [livejournal.com profile] synatri: I'm talking about you. B|


Full Metal Alchemist. Shedding light on fire. [Roy & Ed, dramarama]

Ookiku Furikabutte. Popsicle toes. [Oda x Kanou, fluff]

Persona 3. Look at the follies of love. [Shinji x Aki, angst, spoilers for the October Full Moon]




Got pretty much nothing done at the office today because I woke up late and I had to leave early in order to go to the hospital for Test #3. That's fine, though -- work is slowing down again. I'll probably have things lined up for next week. Will be back at the hospital for the doctor's consultation tomorrow, armed with all the test results... everything sounds pretty much normal according to the tests I've read, but I had no way to interpret the blood test, so we'll have to see.

Dad will be coming with me, though. That might be difficult. He's allergic to doctors and surgery and radiation and such, so I expect to see him and the doctor having a mini-showdown in her office. ~_~

The hardest part will be waking up in time for the appointment, though, to be honest. It's at 9 AM and my house is far from Medical City so I'll have to be up by 6 AM. SIX-FUCKING AM. D8

On a lighter note, I called ADMU up and confirmed the grad studies gig~ I'll be joining the masses and enrolling this semester. Now I just have to wait on word about the teaching gig with the Eng Dept. Maybe it's high time that I follow them up. o_o

Btw, the Supernatural season finale was sad but generally not as awesome as I would've liked it to be. The season finale for House, though... there are no words. x_X
So here's the lowdown on the teaching thing, as promised... the demo teaching in itself seemed to go okay (class was generally dead, but I managed to get students to recite of their own accord, so~), and apparently the panelists really, really liked me. Panel interview was, uh, interesting, and the talk I had with the department chair after everything wrapped up was enlightening and reassuring at the same time.

I'll know the results within this week, or maybe next week. At this point, it may be safe to say that if I don't get in, it's because there just aren't any openings given the returning faculty members and other factors. Here's hoping, right?

At least I know that I can teach a class. I read the student evaluation sheets, and beyond maybe 2-5 semi-negative ones, the rest sounded like they really liked me. I suppose, if for anything, I can walk away with that.

...Uh, I'd be more in-depth about the actual things that happened, but they're best told in person, so.




I didn't go out last Saturday (surprising, huh?), so I took that opportunity to finish FF7: Crisis Core. Overall, my take on the game is that it wasn't bad at all... fighting system's interesting, graphics are typical Squeenix stellar, and the story, although it has is hitches, singlehandedly retconned and repaired the FF7 canon. I highly recommend all interested parties on my flist to play it if they haven't already. And yes, the ending pretty much sucks for Zack, but he inadvertently saves the Planet by saving Cloud, right? So I guess it works out. Even if he loses all his friends and his girl and his life in the long run. o_o

Once Crisis Core was out of my PSP, I suddenly had a bucketload of freed space. JAD pirated copies apparently curse my machine, so I'll have to wait for my chance to buy an original before I touch that one. I did, however, reload BoF 3 and Harvest Moon unto Kalika!PSP, to be played when I'm up to going back to them. FFT is still sitting around, but I'm so lazy.

I started on Final Fantasy 1 (yes, Final fucking-Fantasy 1, baby~), Valkryie Profile (I don't remember the original version of the game having FMVS! D:) and Tales of Eternia. I'm currently fixated on ToE, but it might be because it's my way of torturing myself over Tales of the Abyss. See, if I go back to ToA, this will be my third time of completely restarting the game. Thank you for getting lost on me, memory card. u_u

...Which reminds me. I have to restart Devil Summoner, don't I? *crai*

On other news, the old school-ness of FF1 compels me to find a way to play Final Fantasy 6. But I guess that won't be happening for a while.




Saturday was Game Day, Sunday was Mother's Day (which is synonymous to Super Family Day, with my out-of-house bros and their wives coming around to hang out with us), and today became Marathoning Tiem Day following my teaching stuff, since the best way to relax after something like that is to completely veg out.

Battlestar Galactica = picking up. Slowly. Maybe. The pace kinda reminds me of Heroes Season 2, so I'm hopeful.

Supernatural = picking up also. I guess.

House M.D. = I see what you did thar, Amber. B|

Code Geass R2 = it's a fucking soap opera. WITH MECHS!

Golgo 13 = Fucking mancake. That girl in the latest ep was such a bint.

Persona ~Trinity Soul~ = A convoluted story is convoluted~

Iyeah, I really suck at giving reviews. u_u IT'S THE SECOND DAY OF THE BLEEDS FOR ME OKEY.

Now I'm going to go and watch other stuff.
So I spent all of last night and most of today cramming writing 25 drabbles for [livejournal.com profile] khursten, since I am poor and can only whore out my writing and weird-ass brainfarts as birthday gifts.

Here's the lowdown, if you wanna read them~

IT'S FANFICTION TIEM!



Katekyo Hitman Reborn! (8018 TYL fluff), Metal Gear Solid (Otacon/Snake + Ocelot/Snake), Darker than Black (November 11/Hei + Mao), Moyashimon (Kei/Tadayasu).

Katekyo Hitman Reborn! (TYL!Yamamoto + TYL!Gokudera & TYL!8018 angst), MPD Psycho/Monster/House MD Crossover thing, Ookiku Furikabutte (Kazu/Junta), Final Fantasy Tactics (Delita/Ramza),

Final Fantasy 12 (Basch/Larsa), Ookiku Furikabutte (Rio/Junta), Metal Gear Solid (Big Boss/Ocelot + Otacon/Snake crack), Katekyo Hitman Reborn (Romario & Dino)

Katekyo Hitman Reborn (Spy!Hibird + Kusakabe/Hibari I AM NOT KIDDING), Peacemaker (Hijikata/Okita), Moyashimon (Hasegawa/Mutou/Hasegawa), Gintama (Hijikata)

Final Fantasy Tactics (Delita & Ramza), Final Fantasy 12 (Basch/Larsa), Darker than Black (Hei & Mao), Katekyo Hitman Reborn! (27D) and Fruits Basket (Mabudachi Trio)



...I think I have completely bludgeoned my Muse to death.

Well, one thing's for sure: my brain hurts. o_o






I won't be around for until late Saturday night since [livejournal.com profile] khursten is celebrating her birthday tomorrow and then there's my Dad's party on Saturday. A less boring post will follow once those are done. XD
I should've posted about this last night, but the article I had to write kept me occupied. I honestly think what I put out was shit. >_> So, if you want to read shit, watch out for it in the Lifestyle section sometime this week.

Anyway, the Tarlac trip was even more interesting than I thought it'd be... slept for an hour on both the trips coming there and going back, but given that I'd only slept five hours, that was expected.

Warning. Teh hueg pictures underneath the cut.

ExpandPeter says I should get a Multiply account. )

The funny thing about this is I nearly didn't go. As [livejournal.com profile] yukitsu partially witnessed since she was online with me at the time, my knee acted up last Tuesday, and Mom had a Mother Moment. To make a long story short, she wanted to send Dad to cover my assignment for me.

Yep, I would have died of embarassment. I told them as much.

Now, on the knew, and other sometimes bad things that happened today.


  • Mom made me push back DM planning for the doctor's appointment. Mom also freaks out when she discovers I'm a lone girl going to a guy's house to meet with him and one other guy. From today I have learned the virtue of the occasional safe lie to tell parents.
  • I make [livejournal.com profile] miguel_zeruel and [livejournal.com profile] seranx scramble a bit to find a female beyond [livejournal.com profile] miguel_zeruel's immediate female family members or his girlfriend to be with me. I end up dragging [livejournal.com profile] yukitsu over to make sure I don't cancel the thing altogether. Sorry about that, minna. >_>
  • Doc tells me to get an MRI. DM planing pushed back again. MRI was long and not as scary as medical dramas crank it up to be, and I get my results tomorrow. May get left behind over the weekend while the rest of my family goes to Puerto Galera. ._.
  • DM planning eventually ensues after [livejournal.com profile] yukitsu and I arrive there after 5:00 PM. Ph33r, Panzer Division. Ph33r.


House has cursed me. I'm suddenly getting all these sicknesses and conditions now that I'm following the series. =_= *wants to watch episode 16 anyway*

On another note, Air was better than I thought it'd be. MUCH better. Shouldn't have watched the TV series first though, because the campy animation of the movie turned me off, especially since it basically tells the same story as the anime. The only difference is that it has an even sadder ending. .__.

...I'll go draw up that long overdue mod post for LO now.
