So. I'm going to Singapore.

I don't really feel prepared, and I'm a little nervous, but more excited than anything else. Household's felt stifling these days - I don't know if it's always been like that and I just didn't notice recently because I was running through the wringer at school or if it's because there's been a lot going on for my family as of late. Either way, I think toughing it out on my own for two months will be good for me.

Been spending most of my time making sweet love to my PS3, as he has been FOREVER ALONE for quite some time now. I was supposed to get some writing and file fixing and marathoning done, but Dragon Age was just too shiny for me. ;; As it is, though, the game was totally worth it. I'm kind of glad I didn't have to spend a cent for it too.

Am resisting the urge (and failing) to write Dragon Age fic. Alistair, he is a puppy. And Zevran is my sexy bitch.

Yesterday was actually some kind of crazy... in the rush of stuff that I had to two for the past two weeks, I forgot to mention here that two of my closest friends had elected to get married on the same day. That pretty much left me scrambling all over the place to prepare, and then zipping from one place to the next on the day itself.

Fun times, though, if not a tad awkward, on occasion. As to why, I don't really want to say here. But I saw old faces, got to smoke in good company, ate nice food and generally enjoyed myself, even if I officially hate wearing long gowns. XD

Now before I go back to my downloads and my tagging and my gaming, an open meme for all you RPers out there looking to do some kinky stuff:

[open RP Post] Marry/Fuck/~~Hatesex~~ Rough It Out/Tie Me Up/7 Minutes in Heaven @ sexhibitionists!

Aaaaand fic pimps.

► PERSONA 3. Minato & Minako // In a silent language
► PERSONA 4. Kanji & Naoto // The need to hold still
► SENGOKU BASARA. Koujurou // Too much love will kill you in the end
► GINTAMA. Takasugi // Will you get your wish?
► SOUL CAMPAIGN. Dojima & Roy // Memoirs of an amnesiac
► SOUL CAMPAIGN. Seimei & Sasuke // Your sweet symmetry, all shattered

So I tell myself that I'm going to, y'know, actually update this properly and get back to real blogging and stuff.

Then I get my PSP back and open P3P.

ANYWAY QUICK ONES:

School will be out in two weeks. Freedom is in sight.

Gouto is fatter and cuter now.

My Lit 13 kids have started Heavy Rain - they failed to brush their teeth.

Busier than ever in

soul_campaign, because Mustang.

New seasons for a lot of my usual shows have started up, but I'm so behind in marathoning things, it ain't funny.

Seriously considering a formal hiatus from all RP-related activities to, y'know, actually write.

A FRIENDS CUT IS IN ORDER HERE, I THINK. I just scrolled through 440 entries, man. +_+ In the meantime:

amnesty;

Just in case you think it's time to let go, or don't even remember why you friended me in the first place. No hard feelings, guaranteed. Oh, and if I've cut you, I hope you understand, as well.

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

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 (

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

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.

Since I literally tore myself away from playing more Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, have a fic dump:

+ Tempting me into the garden; KHR!, 8018, for

And my belated birthday set for

I-I totally forgot about this one. SO HERE IT IS, LIKE, A YEAR LATE.

You'll notice that I didn't put lyrics or descriptions here. This is because this is meant to serve as something like a dance mix alongside the actual story, plus a tiny detail: Ryoji and Minato are in love.

NOTES AND DISCLAIMERS: PERSONA 3 and all characters/ideas/concepts/places therein are not mine. Please note that this fanmix contains spoilers for a good part of the game, especially the last two months of the game.

Yep.

This is me, pretty much failing at updating anything beyond Plurk. o_o

Folks on the DW side of things, how are you doing?

Shoutout pretty much goes for the LJ folks as well. Been trying to keep up with your entries, but if there's anything I missed, don't hesitate to poke me.

First month of class has pretty much come and gone, so us ADMU profs are puttering right along through our fourth week of sessions with our kids. Not much to say beyond the fact that I'm pretty content with the way things are going now. Got decent students, a nice schedule, and the stuff I'm teaching are things I'm comfortable with. Now it's just a matter of getting better and better at it.

Graduate studies load is 3 units less stressful now, and the class is progressing fine. Came up with a kick-ass pitch for a paper involving a psychoanalytic reading of Persona 3, and my prof seems sold on the idea. Looking forward to writing it.

~~And that reminds me: I should srsly post up the papers I've already written here, huh? On the academic filter and such and so. orz I keep forgetting. orz orz orz~~

If there's one complaint I could have, it'd be that I don't really get to see the folks that I became rather close with last year, by merit of my horrendously long break. There are other ways to see them, though. I guess.

Still, I do miss those times. Four hours of doing absolutely nothing but smoke and chill out. Hard to find pockets of Zen like that these days.

I could talk and rant and rave a whole lot about that thing they call Faculty Day, but an online journal isn't exactly the best place to discuss such an event.

RPing all of these characters in all of these places is an exercise in schizophrenia.

There is no better way of putting it.

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.

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

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 rainy_takako)
+ Going to bed early doesn't help much (Gintoki, for rainy_takako)

Gundam Seed
+ Your place in my heart is the whole of my heart (Ramias & Fraga, for psychoshoujo)

Gundam Wing
+ I can't say which of me is in you and which of you is in me (Une watching Treize, for psychoshoujo)

House M.D.
+ A ribbon around her throat (Thirteen, for psychoshoujo)

Persona 3 & 4
+ Shitting bricks (Kitchen Shenanigans; for psychoshoujo)
+ Where the wild things are (Yosuke x Souji; for psychoshoujo)
+ Who slid out of my heart? (Kansji & Naoto; for psychoshoujo)
+ The throb that sways my heart, my soul (Daisuke & Kou, for psychoshoujo)

Soul Eater
+ Nevertheless, to be curious is dangerous enough (The Kids, for 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.

This year was no exception.

Fic Dump!

Endtimes
+ Listening to fear (Lorenzo & Liandrin, for psychoshoujo)

Final Fantasy 7

Firefly
+ Dear me (Mal/Inara/River, for psychoshoujo)
+ And you honored in blood rite (Mal/Inara/River, for psychoshoujo)

Full Metal Alchemist
+ But not without considerable regret (Hughes & Roy, for psychoshoujo)

Gintama
+ Such a natural, normal lethality (Bansai x Takasugi, for rainy_takako)

Gundam Seed/Gundam Seed Destiny
+ What feeds me destroys me (Murrue, for psychoshoujo)

Gundam Wing
+ One pierced moment whiter than the rest (Treize & Zechs, for psychoshoujo)
+ Many are the dead men, too silent to be real (Quatre, for psychoshoujo)

Hanazakari no Kimitachi e
+ An ode to your innocence (Kayashima & Nakatsu, for psychoshoujo)

Kingdom Hearts
+ We will now take the path of courage (Mickey, for psychoshoujo)

Persona 3 & 4
+ Lit like a burning city (Ryoji/Minato in your hotsprings; for rainy_takako)
+ Those who loved early in vain (Mitsuru & Yukari, FES; for psychoshoujo)
+ Some girls spit fire (Mitsuru; for psychoshoujo)
+ Synesthesia (Souji x Yosuke, for psychoshoujo)

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.
