I actually started writing this one from my cousin’s flat – it’s the place I’ve been staying in for nearly a week now. As those of you on plurk already know, there’s no net access from home yet. Planned on making this entry when I was actually online, but whenever I get online, I end up doing a whole bunch of other things instead. XD

So! Singapore. Where do I begin?


( Watch out for them teal deers. )

Summary: it’s been a pretty crazy trip so far. I have no doubt that it’ll just get crazier from here.

I told yukitsu, khursten, kye_kestrel and a few others this before, but back before I left home, I knew that somehow this trip would be good for me. So far, I’m right. There is a special joy that comes with being on your own, with no one to really rely on but yourself – sure, you have to do all of your stuff on your own and plan all of this stuff on your own and worry about your cash and your laundry and your room and your commuting route, but god, it’s glorious.

It’s the little things that are best about independence, I realize. Standing around at the bus station while you wait for your ride home, listening to Nine Inch Nails on your mobile and absorbing the noise and heat of the city, wandering outside to the balcony of the place you’re staying in to light up and enjoy the breeze… that sort of stuff. Take note: I’m the 25-year-old girl who’s still living with her parents and therefore subject to all sorts of loving but ultimately ridiculous rules. I don’t love my family any less, but I am starting to see that I really need to get out there already. And Singapore is the first step.

I do miss my cat my cat, though. Like, really, really, really miss her. There are lots of friendly strays that are beautiful looking and plump and stuff, but they just make me wish that I could’ve brought Gouto with me. And I kind of really wish my girl friends from home were down here with me too. ._.

Anyway, I previously mentioned that having no internet at home is really good for me. This applies in more than just one direction. For one, so far, I’ve managed to read half of the huge-ass pile of unread comics and doujinshi that have just been piling up on my hard drive for the past year and a half. For another, I’ve managed to catch up on a lot of anime and tv shows, and watch some movies that have also been idling around in my collection. Something tells me that if I had brought my PS3 along, I would’ve been able to play through some of the games that I’ve had to set aside too – but it’s a good thing that I didn’t, else I’d be distracted. Forever.

Oh, and I’ve gotten a lot of writing done. Like, a lot of writing. Let me show you. :3

FIC DUMP!

† DURARARA! Izaya, Kida, rendezvous. // The possibility of zero.

Week Three, here I come.

As a lot of my plurk buddies and closest friends will know, my connection has been pretty shittastic lately. I whine about it constantly - I'm painfully aware of this. Still, as anyone who pays for a service and realizes that they're pretty much getting gipped in return would know, it IS pretty aggravating, having an internet connection that tosses you around like a bucking bronco on a good day and just stays completely dead on a bad one.

Dealt with it pretty well due to RP duties and good company, but I think that trudging up and down the steps to constantly reset the modem eventually wore my patience down to a nub before I could realize it. And to top it all off, ( Friday was a huge waste of time. )

Thankfully, though, Saturday was wonderful. Took a road trip down to Pampanga with yukitsu, ficcentricity, 77ws, khursten and kye_kestrel - they've actually done the trip before, but this is the first time that I was able to go with them.

Fun times in the car, kick ass food at the destination, and Kat's amazing zombie ass-kicking rabbit. Then there was an Italian dinner at Trinoma, lonelybusiness and Star Trek to boot.

Need I say more? ♥

Currently chilling out before I go back to watching things online. I've managed to set up DW archives for this journal and stitchedophelia along with a brand new fic/creative archive using the invite codes I've recently received - you can friend them, if you want, but I doubt that they'll be very interesting to you for a good, long time yet.

On other news, I should seriously start up my Wordpress blog, huh? I built it, like, months ago, but I'm supremely lazy.


EDIT: I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS -

Because my connection was so sucky, I finished my entry for khrminibang in one sitting a few days back. orz Seriously, as I said on Plurk, productivity is the bastard child of restlessness and a sucky internet connection.

That was a pretty crazy weekend.

I also attract creepy stalker things.





Anyway, uh.


ADMU things: Puttered off to ADMU to see if I could hook up with the Faura crowd (AND I DID AND IT WAS MARVELOUS), so I figured I might as well pick up my report card. Good thing I did too, because it turns out that I totally aced my second semester. FLAT 4.0 QPI, BB. ...But all good things come hand-in-hand with HOSHITFREAKOUT stuff, and I'll have to go back to school tomorrow to meet with the Chair. Idk why, it's supposed to be routine, but... yeah. @_@

Family things: Going to Batangas over the weekend since Older Brother #1 is having his wedding ceremony there - he and my sister-in-law Yas have been legally married for the past five years, so this is a really big thing, finally getting to see them walk down the aisle in church and all. That also means I'm internet-less for a while, but I think I need the break anyway.

House things: I know I only mentioned this in passing, so I suppose I ought to announce it now... I've been camping out in my brother's room along with all my stuff for nearly two weeks now because my own room is being renovated. We're getting rid of the furniture, repainting, remodeling and yeah... so far, so good, so I promise I'll have pictures up once everything is set. I also demand a room-warming sort of party thing when all is ready!

Fangirl things: SLKDHG;HSADHGHSAD SO MANY FUCKING SERIES TO WATCH AND GODDAMNIT FMA Y U DO DIS AND ALL THE NEW ANIMU IS SO SHINY BUT THANK GOD I'M DONE WITH ONE PIECE BUT I STILL HAVEN'T PUT A DENT IN MY MANGA BACKLOG ALTHOUGH THE MARATHONING WITH THE OTHER STUFF HAS ME SORTA UP TO SPEED aaaand I think I'll shut up now. orz

Girl things: Cramps this time of the month were terrible, but thank god it hit before I had to go out of town. Also: mom and I went to the mall intending to go home with just the underwear I needed for the gown, but we ended up buying under wear, sleep wear, every day wear, random wear, and... iyeah, you get the picture. Suddenly, I'm a woman again. o_o

Writer things: This post is supposed to have shiny fic things since I've been accumulating finished stuff over the past few weeks, but... uh. B-BUT I PROMISE TO HAVE STUFF NEXT TIME. /twiddles

RP things: Srsly thinking of dropping stuff in favor of other things and more time to the stuff that matters, but theskytides is marvelous, as always. Also, I am having way too much fun playing Roy Mustang. Srsly.


Not-so-randomly, I seriously miss the koushien people. Summer's been good to me in terms of reconnecting and I know I've been hanging out with you guys as much as I can, but I feel the need to maximize the time before school drags me off. ;;

Thanks to everyone who read through the emo and poked me with a hug, an encouraging word and whatever else. I'm really, really grateful to all of you. For serious. ♥

--Now, let me rape your minds with badfic.

Chilled out yesterday until khursten, yukitsu and ficcentricity came around to drag me out on a massive commuting road trip thing to Makati for Takoyaki Night, which was glorious. ♥ Slept hell of late because everyone is crazy on my side of the internet, and woke up in order to cram a SAPRIZE READING! for class before zooming off to school.

Today has been pretty nice - quiet, uneventful, and generally nice. This week is looking busy, with the Writer's Festival coming up on Thursday and work to do both for the classes I teach and the classes I attend. RP is becoming a welcome retreat from all the real life suckage, although part of me feels bad about not committing nearly as much time to it as I would have hoped.

Summer is near, though. There is that.

On other news: botling, you are evil. eriea, you are as well. You know what I mean. B|
