Much love to all of you, your friends and your families. ♥♥♥
My weekend was pretty wild, because I kicked it off by hanging with my ADMU family over at Ayala Techno Park (AN EXTREMELY SHINY PLACE IS EXTREMELY SHINY) and THEN it was off to meet with the girls the next day.

Started off with me swinging by Medical City to see [livejournal.com profile] yukitsu, [livejournal.com profile] khursten and [livejournal.com profile] kye_kestrel - we ate lunch before heading up to help Rachel's family out with her dad's hospital room. Teng Papan is perfectly fine from the looks of it! *w*

After Rachel went off with her family, we took a road trip around to pick Khursten's mom up and drop Lyn off before we hit Khursten's hood. We rolled around until late evening before zooming over to [livejournal.com profile] 77ws's party thing WHICH DID NOT HAVE PRITCHON, FEEL MY DISAPPOINTMENT WAVES OVER THE INTERNET--!

People spotted:
- [livejournal.com profile] psychoshoujo, [livejournal.com profile] gzep (who is srsly amazing when he is tipsy/drunk) and [livejournal.com profile] seraph_dreams!
- Sammi and Justin, who holds the distinction of being her boyfriend for more than a year. Good job, Justin. T^Tb
- [livejournal.com profile] menismastah and the Antarctics folks! Adz, your hair! o_o

Night passed into morning in a haze of way too much laughing and a whole lot of booze. Khursten and I went home by 2, but we didn't sleep all that much due to Srs Talk, which I'll likely poke the other girls about at the soonest opportunity.

Running on minimal sleep at the moment and back at home, but I'm still hoping that the family will decide to eat out. It's been a while since we've done that~

EDIT, A FEW HOURS LATER: Yeah, we went out. It was amazing. |D




HERE HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER FANFICS:

+ METAL GEAR SOLID. Everything you ever wished for (requested by [livejournal.com profile] daniela_lynx)
+ HIKARU NO GO. A thousand sunsets in a box (requested by [Bad username or site: mushroom_18) @ livejournal.com]+ KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN: PUBLISHING IS SERIOUS BUSINESS AU. It's called love at first, and it doesn't hurt (requested by [livejournal.com profile] theprerogative)
+ KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN! The effect of impact on stationary objects (requested by [livejournal.com profile] theprerogative)
+ KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN! I don't know one joke (requested by [livejournal.com profile] dreamlessness)
+ KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN! Mischief of one kind or another (requested by [livejournal.com profile] _sabriel)

+ THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU. The smell of hospitals in winter (requested by [livejournal.com profile] theprerogative)
+ FULL METAL ALCHEMIST. Weave, weave the sunlight in your hair (requested by [livejournal.com profile] theprerogative)


AND SOME FANMIX THINGS:
+ PERSONA 3. Deuce: A Minato & Ryoji FST
+ VALKYRIE PROFILE. Woman King: A Tribute to Lenneth
+ FINAL FANTASY 7: CRISIS CORE. Crisis Core FST


YES THE KAREN!FIC GETS PIMPED TWICE. I-it's another thing I'm ridiculously proud of, because srsly: when I was writing the thing, I felt like murdering small animals over how difficult it was. NEVER AGAIN, OKAY. ;A;

Will continue posting the backlogged fanmixes very soon, along with my birthday gift(s) for [livejournal.com profile] g3ssh0ku just so that she'll stop linefacing at me.




This coming week will be the last week of regular classes - got some papers to check, consultations to do, a final exam to deliver and a paper to fish. GO SELF, U CAN DUUU IT~

Aaaand once vacation hits, I'll be in holy shit Singapore.

Holy shit. Time flies! D:
Right, so. Yesterday was the first regular school day after the shitstorm that was Ondoy.

The atmosphere was rather... well. It wasn't great, but it wasn't entirely terrible. Still, it's rather haunting, going around and hearing people talk about nothing else but what happened, or occasionally spotting someone crying on someone else's shoulder. My students, for the most part, are okay - we talked long and much about exactly how the tragedy could have reached critical mass the way it did, along with a more regular concern: grades.

I've just spent most of my day checking all of their remaining requirements and computing for their class standing - it doesn't look like I'll be failing anyone this semester, and overall, everyone did stellar in my classes. Tomorrow will involve some negotiations on the parts of a few of my students, and I'll probably let them have their desired grade bumps if they can argue with me well enough.

On the grad studies end of things, I've still got a paper to write. Felt shitty over the past few weeks, so I really haven't been able to do it. Thankfully, I returned to my calm and happy place by rolling around and fixing all (yes, all) of my backlogged files and changing my icon sets, so I think I'm recharged enough to give it a shot. Tonight, perhaps.




Now let's talk internet things.

First off: HI AND HELLO TO THE NEW FOLKS THAT [livejournal.com profile] jusrecht INTRODUCED ME TO! ♥

Aaaand pimp outs.

...Right, back to work.

New blog post up at Orzisms: The Fanfiction Meme, Now Available in Kae Flavor

Screwed up with that one. Forgot to click publish, so it didn't actually go up on the date that I specified it for. /sob




The good thing about having your parents out of the country is that you can smoke in your room without fear of getting caught, and you can eat wherever you want, whenever you want. Also: temporal freedom from Sunday Mass.

The bad thing about it is that your parents aren't around at all, and the house is incredibly, incredibly quiet.




Went to the doctor recently - [livejournal.com profile] khursten was kind enough to accompany me and keep me from flipping tables and snarling at noisy children. Have told the doctor that I'm okay with nuking my thyroid.

Will be AWOL over the summer because of it. Here's hoping all goes well.

Crazy year it's been so far, eh? The schizophrenic weather's just the tip of the iceberg.




Currently typing this from what will apparently be my last Saturday class session. This leaves my weekends free for bugging friends and getting all of my backlogged work out of the way. Apologies to the folks that I've been holding up on various fronts... will attempt to get things out and about soon.




Finished The World Ends With You in between doing my readings and my papers over the week.

Bone hard medical fact: Joshua is one of the most assholic characters in video game history.

Should I go and read Signal to Noise or should I collect the Secret Reports first?




There is something very refreshing about trolling around an RP with a creeper like Rokudo Mukuro. o_o
Well, I've learned one thing this week:

Attempting to write a little every day, while plausible, does not exactly deliver results. ~_~

On another note, Sango burgers and portabello mushroom spread are on their own unique, unparalleled levels of amazing. I have [livejournal.com profile] kye_kestrel to thank for suggesting that she, [livejournal.com profile] yukitsu and I go out to Rockwell yesterday, since I didn't have class. [livejournal.com profile] khursten followed us later, which was really cool as well. I realize that I truly live for weekends like this one.




Orzisms post: on Katekyo Hitman Reborn, the one ex-boyfriend who wasn't an asshole

This link has done the rounds on part of the interwebs already, since [livejournal.com profile] jusrecht was kind enough to take time out to read it and even went so far as to linking it on her flist. It's basically my look at the series as it is now, and why I appear to be falling out of it.

Still ficcing, though, if only to finish Return on Investment and my new pet project, Fiore di Nuvola (refer to minibang!). Flaws aside, I've always been attracted to KHR because of its potential, and writing this perceived potential out in my own way, through fanfic, is always the best way to express that.

On more blog-related news: I set Thursday aside to fuss over the thing, so I have posts scheduled to go up every week from here until October. Will pimp the links out on this journal, whenever I happen to remember to do so.




Finished Suikoden Tierkreis: I blame that on [livejournal.com profile] dreamlessness, who started the game sometime after me but finished first, thus kicking me into action out of guilt.

Yes [livejournal.com profile] factorielle, I will attempt to write BUT I CANNOT GUARANTEE QUALITY. /sob

Now starting on The World Ends With You, like the slowpoke I am. Terrible game, I tell you - brings out all the obsessive-compulsive tendencies in a player like myself.




Contemplating another friends' cut. With the exception of the people that I meet regularly or poke a lot online, I find that the internet's becoming rather toxic for me again.
