My torrent for the Record of Lodoss War TV series just hit 120 kB/s and it's maintaining that general speed.

Last night I was cruising along at a total of about 110-140, but that was TOTAL download rate. Now it's doing it on a SINGLE TORRENT.

This speed might be normal for some of you guys on the flist, but for me and most others this is a miracle.

*sincerely hopes that the writing of this post will not jinx the good fortune*








Math finals like, today.

Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts~
Saturday: Pio leaves for New Jersey.
Sunday: Lolo Punzalan passes away.
Monday: Little breakdowns. Stupid lady in funeral parlor insults my intelligence. LIttle breakdowns mended upon arrival at the house.
Tuesday: Funeral of Lolo Punzalan. We haven't left yet because Lolo Peralejo needed to be rushed to the hospital. He's having trouble breathing.

Eventful doesn't begin to cut it, folks.

On lighter news, the Math 12 standing has been confirmed. Now to make sure I don't completely fuck up when things are getting good.

Feel better soon, [livejournal.com profile] ezraelandvari.

I sleep at 10:20 last night looking forward to sleeping in all the way until 10 or so the next day only to wake up at 4:20 because of a fucked-up dream that I have involving my overcutting of a class that I didn't know I had because I did my Math wrong regarding my units.

Read: this is not right.

On other news, I am actually passing Math, and passing it well. And the laptop dream will no longer be a dream soon. And Pio is leaving for the States and I won't be seeing him from six months after Saturday.

Wondering whether I should skip off to school at the usual time and do nothing all the way until 1:30, since that's the time that [livejournal.com profile] ezraelandvari and [livejournal.com profile] fruitea are having their presentation in History 16. No Retellings class, and unless a cataclysmic event occurs between now and 3:30 there will be Lit Crit.

...Then again, I doubt Sir Pulan would cancel class even if the Brits were coming, or something.

Guh. Not coherent. -_-

*wanders off to watch QaF*


EDIT: After much deep reflection and two and a half episodes of QaF.

I am a d8


Take the quiz at dicepool.com



No use trying to fight it, you're an eight-sided die, a d8. A fine example of simple elegance, the d8 is one of the least appreciated types of dice, and is often neglected. You are known to be quiet and shy, outward traits that conceal viscous sarcasm and mean wit. You are very smart, yet wise enough to hide your intelligence the quicker they found out how smart you are, the sooner they'll put you to work, which is something you can do without. People call you dark and pessimistic, or moody and cynical. You find little point in arguing.

I was a d4 last time. What's with me and the number 4? >__>
X-posted to all the usual places.

One midterms test down. Two more to go. Finished one of the two papers also. And by some miracle, I passed my second long test. 65. Not bad, given the fact that I was expecting 50 or below. @_@

Did I mention that I just blew close to 7,000 bucks on books and comics in the last three days?

This one's slightly delayed, and because of PC problems the creation of the LJ for Citrus Avenue has been delayed also. [livejournal.com profile] ezraelandvari and I shall get to it sooner or later. In the meantime, here's Deja Entendu for your reading pleasure. Heads up, A x R fans. >D

(( Deja Entendu: Aidan Clayce & Rethe Kyriff in Eleven Ways ))


Now for a mini-survey: which Citrus project do you want to see first? Choose one, or two (or even three), but PLEASE don't say all. o_o;; Choices are as follows:
Strange & Beautiful - Maes x Nikolai
Black Market Music - Hiroshi x Hikaru (pre-Citrus)
Soviet Kitsch - Ires & Natalia
From the Choirgirl Hotel - Neeka x Emir
Untitled - Roman x Jilly
Auf Asche - Takeo x Ritsu
Serve Chilled - Mafuyu x Yue
A Love Affair - Sein x Beatrix
My Favorite Game - Hiroshi x Yukio
Untitled - Lorenzo x Naiara
Low Place Like Home - Alistair x Aidan / Aidan, Calintz & Rilea (pre-Citrus)
Demon Days - Alistair, Mikhail & Hikaru (post-Lullabies to Paralyze)


Of the ones mentioned, four have bits and pieces for them sitting on our PCs. We're working on other stuff, but I can't elaborate beyond that. Spoilers. ^-^

EDIT: I meticulously format everything only to find out that the story's too goddamned long for LJ. >___> Anyhow, it's in PDF. Thar we have it.
The Back-to-Ateneo Report:

.1. I passed Math. I didn't just pass it. I got a C.
2. QPI at 3.25. That doesn't make the cut for the dean's list, but I don't care. I passed Math and I thought I'd fail it.
3. Caf Down @ ADMU is teh shineh now. @_@
4. Now I want that huge-ass bar of Hershey's Dark chocolate. Thanks a lot, [livejournal.com profile] ezraelandvari. I also owe her for breaking my brain.
5. It is good to know that at least somebody out there shares my hatred for intellectual wankers. *salutes to [livejournal.com profile] irian.
6. Yesterday I brushed the dust of Thick as Thieves and fixed up Eternal Wa(n)king, which now goes under the name of The Fragile. I made a prologue, I wrote all of the third chapter and I daresay I did the smuttiest scene I have ever done in my whole writing career. You will see it in Chapter 4 soon. Boys, cover your eyes.
7. Welcome to the world of LJ, [livejournal.com profile] moose_hut. ^____^
8. This week is looking good. Hell. I'm actually excited about the second semester now.


So that's that. Still reeling from brain-breaking intellectual wanking that [livejournal.com profile] irian showed me. And I really thought I was the only one here. :3

Now to celebrate the 33rd Anniversary of my parents with them over a 30-minute evening Mass and what is sure to be a pleasant family dinner.
Yahoo! Services are being trippy on me today, and I don't mean that in a good way. o_o;; At least the downloads are working fine. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't download all that stuff waiting for me on #lurk.

Kingdom of Loathing has stolen just about everyone I know and love from me.

So. What happened to me this weekend. Generally speaking, nothing but my final orals exam in Philosophy (dunno how I did on that one) and studying. And a half-day out with [livejournal.com profile] omnicresence, which involved the Ateneo Cafeteria (noise and all) and a later change of scenery to Teriyaki Boy and Cheesecake Etc. at Eastwood City. I wanted to drop in on [livejournal.com profile] ezraelandvari during her little brother's birthday party, but there were driver problems. .-.

85 points to pass Math 11 once and for all. Applause, please. *bows* The test is on Tuesday and I'm about 80% done studying for it. Right now, my immediate concern is with Lit Crit, as studying for that involves re-writing all my notes, and I don't think I'm even halfway through with that. How are the rest of you Ateneans doing on the brink of finals?

I have Chinese Lit orals tomorrow. I realize that. I don't really care. :3

Did I mention that Nana's one of the more intriguing shoujo manga series that I've read yet?

EDIT: Right when I tried to post this, LJ took a cue from Yahoo! and decided to make it difficult for me. Wrrrrrrrry. x_X

Fwee. Scraped a 3.75 (somehow) on the last paper I've had to submit for Philosophy 101... that's an unexpected B+/A. Part of me wants to frame it. Lord knows I need something to bolster the self-esteem. :3

Will be finding out the results of my last Math 11 long test tomorrow. I've a general idea of how well I did, but here's hoping anyway. With the final exam looming on the horizon, I will need every point I can muster in order to pass this course.

When it's over, it's over. And I'll be glad.

Much <3 to [livejournal.com profile] fruitea and [livejournal.com profile] ezraelandvari and a congratulations to doing all right on their report for Socio-Antropology. Their teacher's exemplary of the brain drain that their final paper was written for, but it's all good in the end, right? Let's hope she's not a priss with grading.

The last meeting we had for Shakespeare was quite pleasant. Sir Abola got a whole lot nicer... he's been a little soft ever since midterms season. Wonder why.

So here's the almighty Exam Schedule on my end of the fence.

08 October 2005 (SATURDAY): 10:00 am, Philosophy Orals at the Dean's Office. <-- [livejournal.com profile] omnicresence, I may be able to meet you for a time after this. And yes, [livejournal.com profile] vaguechaos, I owe you my Philosophy book.
10 October 2005 (MONDAY): 9:45 am, Literature 171 (Chinese Lit) Orals at the Social Sciences Building
11 October 2005 (TUESDAY): 11:30 am-1:30 pm, Math 11 Finals & 3:00-6:00 pm, Literature 146 (Shakespeare) Finals. <--dying starts here.
12 October 2005 (WEDNESDAY): 3:30-5:00 pm, Literature 112.1 (Lit Crit) Finals.
13 October 2005 (THURSDAY): 11:30-1:30 pm, Theology 131 Finals.
14 October 2005 (FRIDAY): Nothing but the submission of one last paper in Lit Crit.


Ateneans on the flist, how are your schedules looking? Anyone up for a chill session after it's all over?
My playlist is on the psuedo-happy-almost-emo-but-not-really-punk section. o_o I'd skip down, but I'm previewing stuff for the compilations and soundtracks. Ho-hum.

Yesterday was fun. Skipped down to breakfast with my Aunt Becky and Uncle Reuben (they just flew in from the USA), skipped back upstairs, killed my brain with Chapter 5 in Math, then went off to the most humble abode of [livejournal.com profile] ezraelandvari, armed with gumballs, Gobstobbers and Honey & Clover Episodes 1-20. We holed ourselves up in her room because I find her relatives scary. .-.

Picked [livejournal.com profile] makintash up later that evening; he spent the afternoon at the Ateneo Grade School Fair with friends (*coughcoughandgirlscough*). Wiled the rest of the night away chatting with [livejournal.com profile] ezraelandvari and [livejournal.com profile] yukitsu in between Honey & Clover episodes. I echo the statements on [livejournal.com profile] ezraelandvari's latest entry.

Woke up today and rolled out of bed to do my Lit Crit paper. I'll have to print that out soon, along with my final paper for Chinese Lit. I'm not really looking forward to losing some more money. Printing cost at the nearest internet cafe's a killer.

Hoo. Mass. Another entry when I'm more coherent, perhaps.
