Took a cue from

yukitsu and designed my LJ to have all the links I need ~~so that I don't have to look at all the weird stuff on the LJ portal, like that stupid Writer's Block section that you can't seem to get rid of.~~ Anyway~

Final Requirements:
~~1.) Theology Oral Exams.~~ Did that on Monday~
~~2.) Integration Paper for Third World Literature II.~~ I rambled a lot here, but I just wanted to get it over with. ~_~
~~3.) Final thesis revision + critical response to the comments and reactions of the readers.~~ Done! Barely touched the original paper because I didn't really have to change anything, but doing the critical response was fun.

I HAS FINISHED MY SCHOOL WORK!!!111oneoneone :D :D :D :D

Now it's just a matter of doing ~~wholly unnecessary bureaucratic things~~ my clearance and actually marching later in March. Hearing your printer cough out the last printout that you will ever do in college is so gratifying. ♥

I think I would've been able to finish up faster if I had really gunned those last two paper things, but I felt that my brain needed a break, so I watched some anime in between Third World Lit and thesis. Shigofumi definitely goes up there on my favorites list now.

Ahurhur. So now that I'm finally, finally done I guess that means I'll take about a week or two to chillax at home before I go back to work at my dad's office, arrange for driving lessons (~~XTRAIL~~ LORENZO IRONHIDE, I CHOOSE YOU!) and prepare my application stuff for an MA at Ateneo. I don't plan on doing anything hard core for the summer, since this will be the last real summer I may ever have. 'Sides, there's Lights Out and Read or Die to occupy me, beyond my WoD campaign with

hamster_friend and my own writing projects.

Oh yeah. As I promised the people who poked me on my last entry about graphix help, here are the graphics that need extension:

( Cut so that they dun mess up layouts and stuff! )

I'll be out of the house tomorrow because the pest control people are coming over to zap some cockroaches, and because I intend to meet with Tatay Carling (see my immersion entry) since he and the other folks from Madlum will be around. I will also submit my papers AND KISS MY FINAL YEAR GOODBYE~! ♪♪♪♪

This here is a really HAWT rendition of Alistair Mordechai, an original character of mine, courtesy of macgirl_13. MUCH LOVE! <33333

YAY FOR MANLY MEN.

I am in dire need of a cigarette.

Lesee~ I was supposed to go out with

khursten today, but her mother decided to be... well, a mother, and not in the most flattering sense. So I ended up reading all 11 volumes of Lucifer and charging on with my thesis. The first draft has finished at 32 pages, and I am finally free to shut down my brain for the rest of the evening. o_o

Hurr. Crapload of TV shows and anime to catch up on. I'd get to work on this paper I need to do for Third World Lit II (the one that

ryvaeus inadvertently reminded me about right when I totally forgot I had something to do for that class~ XD), but I think I've abused my brain enough.

On other news, I think I need a new cellular phone number -- too many people have the one I'm currently using. And here's an article about that writer's strike thingie.

A few of you have asked about my previous entry. If you don't already know, it's actually best to keep it that way. Else, corner me when we're out in RL. I can give you all the juicy details in person.

...And tomorrow, I plan on doing that Third World Lit II paper and then playing Odin Sphere for the remainder of the day.

Things to remember about today:

1.) Exercised for the first time in a while. I'm surprised I'm not aching all over. ...Maybe it'll hit tomorrow.
2.) Now that I have most of my thoughts down on paper, my thesis doesn't look so scary anymore.
3.) I am not looking forward to reading Paradise Lost again.
4.) Finished Stardust in a day. Now I want to see the liberties that the movie took with the story.
5.) Vogue cigarettes taste exactly like Capri.
6.) Gay Boy Arne's voice is Annoying.
7.) Metallica sounded WAY different in their early years. o_o I think I'm a fan of their stuff from 1991 to 1997.
8.) LSSed on Fall Out Boy's "Dance, Dance" the whole day. ...Yeah, yeah, go ahead, music snobs. Shoot me.
9.) Did I mention that I'm not looking forward to reading Paradise Lost again?

Will be working for realz in the office tomorrow. I think last Thursday was just a test run.

So the Cephiro broke down while Pio was in Alabang over the weekend, which resulted in the following conversation over Sunday lunch:

Mom: I think it's time to sell the Cephiro.
Pio: WHAT?! O__O
Mom: Well, it's a pretty old car already.
Pio: But this is the first time it's broken down in seven years! What, for a single slip-up, you're going to punish it? It's been so loyal to me us! D:
Mom: I want a car I can rely on. Now that it broke down, I'm not sure we can do that. -_-
Pio: YOU'RE GOING TO SELL BUMBLEBEE?! T__T

Apparently, he gave our Cephiro that name since its radio is dysfunctional (it turns on and off and switches channels and modes on its own), and because it's been really good to him. It's the car he takes to and from Alabang three times a week. Mai Mai. Go figure. XD

So today, my parents went with me to look at some cars before dragging me off to Capital Med for the laser hair removal thingie -- now my upper lip is hairless for the first time since... well, since before puberty on my part. Then I ended up going to the dermatologist. THEN Mom figured that it was a good time to get my ears pierced again, since the last time I had that I was a toddler. Got an allergic reaction, so they closed. Apparently, my ears have VERY rich tastes... can't handle anything below fourteen karats.

...I should tell my future significant other that in the future, shouldn't I?

Persona 3 is absolutely, positively eating me alive. I'm going to end up cramming my Gaiman entry (if I end up writing it at all) a day or so before the deadline at this rate. Post full of hawt fanart for my favorite ship there coming up soon.

On a related note, this has been a damned good year for fangirling on my end. This semestral break, for one, has been particularly deadly. Imagine: Persona 3 + Eureka 7 + Heroes Season 2. My heart can only take so much. =_=

Crap. Just realized. NaNoWriMo 2007 is coming. Among the following, what do you guys think I should write?

1.) Apocalypse Please (one of the threads)
2.) Endtimes: Blood Sings
3.) Endtimes Revision 3.0 (50k then as far as I can carry it)
4.) Endtimes: Thick as Thieves (50k then as far as I can carry it)
5.) Chaos Rising: Preludes
6.) Lunafall (prose version of my Comics Class project)
7.) Harry Potter: The Next Go Around (partnered with

psychoshoujo)
8.) Kingdom Hearts II: Memento Mori (the one I talked to

yukitsu and

kye_kestrel a LONG time ago)
9.) Fleur de Nuit (my host club crack)

...Or should I just do a ton of drabbleage? o_O Thoughts appreciated.

Maybe it's just my imagination, but the workout seems to be paying off so far... I've been hyper at the end of it on both counts, and not nearly as achy as I expected myself to be. @_@

Er. Anyway, I hiked over to Galleria to meet up with Ranulf with regard to our little joint venture and got the first half of my booty, which I promptly blew on two books: an illustrated version of Dracula and Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall. Given the other purchases I've recently made, I seriously have to fix my bookshelf. Seriously.

Ah. Encountered a monstrosity in Bestseller's under the title "Wowee, it's yaoi!" It was this trashy little thing that apparently functioned as 'A compilation of yaoi stories by Western girls'.

Two questions: Why call it yaoi when you can just call it slash? and Why the emphasis on Western?

I have a third, and it goes along the lines of Why does crap like this get published?, but I suppose that's what every avid reader tends to ask at least once in their lifetime, and more often than not it ends up becoming a rhetorical one.

*stares at her bookshelf again*

...I'll get to you soon. Really. .__.

EDITED FOR A DORK MOMENT: Where last month I had consecutive posts for nearly two weeks, this time I post every other day on odd numbers! :D

Self: ...So basically, you're shelling out 1.8k a month to torture me into shape for the next year and maybe beyond that?
Me: Yes, that's about accurate.
Self: .........................
Me: Cake? :D

Brothers dragged me out of bed at 7:00 AM to try out the new arena that the family's going to. Nifty machines + great facilities + free wi-fi makes me a happy girl. And it'll be good to get back into exercising regularly... haven't done that in two years. o_o

The Moleskine notebook that

kye_kestrel gave me for my birthday is being put to good use so far. It's become my repository for ~~my plans for world domination~~ random story ideas and reminders. At the moment it's been employed to keep track of my expenses and hold on to all the brain farts my Muse has been emitting for Apocalypse Please. ...The danger here is that when it runs out of space I'm going to want to buy another one. >_>

Right then. Back to editing Endtimes for India & the Conundrum.

team7 found me an artist with kick-ass work, and I must deliver especially since I didn't get to last month. x_X

Went with the father to the P&B Dionisio shooting range somewhere in the South Triangle area. ...Now I can understand why they say that shooting can relieve stress. @_@ I tried out a .45 and a Beretta, and between the two of them I like the first one better -- heavier gun, better balance, better penetration, no fuss over slacks and triggers.

Dad went trigger happy earlier. Something tells me this'll become my next serious hobby. It's cheaper to go to the range than to eat dinner out, for one.

Now, some clarifications:

Lights Out is a free-for-all event, for fangirls, by fangirls. We as the moderators aim to provide a common venue for any and all enthusiasts from all walks of life to enjoy SLASH, something we all love very, very deeply.

Why am I reiterating this? Because an insider was kind enough to show me a link to an LJ of a cosplayer who wanted an opinion on her costume for the Bound Pairs Cosplay at Lights Out 4 -- she also wanted to know whether she should go to the event in the first place. Someone on her friends list then had the nerve to reply that she shouldn't because (and this is the gist of it, not an exact quotation because you really don't need a wanker's exact quotation on anything), "Lights Out's a waste of your cash! Their moderators exclude other people from going in! I was flat-out rejected for the first convention! They also rejected several Good Pinoy yaoi artists from going! They are, liek, SO ELITIST!"

My initial reaction? What the fuck. And not in the annoyed-angry-kill-kill-kill sort of way. More in the Oh my god. With a single comment, you've just systematically proven us right. Why are we right? Let me count the ways.

1.) Lady, for someone who considers writing her career, you sure don't know how to do your research. Lights Out was created BY fans FOR fans: we don't intend to exclude anyone. The screening was because something like slash is a VERY sensitive topic in this country (read: Third World + Catholic + Apparently Unfriendly to Homosexuals, Bisexuals and Transitioned Individuals in General), and we wanted to test the waters. To prove that point, please note that the three other conventions that followed it (including LO4) are open to EVERYONE.

By the way: the first Yaoi Convention in the United States had a screening process too. Are you willing to call them elitist bitches?

2.) I would like you to verify your comment about 'good Pinoy yaoi artists' being excluded. I don't know about you, but we've got people like Red Threads who are totally interested in going to the convention on May 26. If they're not good, I don't know who is.

3.) People who were previously 'rejected' were more than welcome to attend the succeeding conventions with no strings attached. And why would we attach anything? We're not elitist bitches ~~unlike somebody who likes to feel st00pid and bitter because her feathers were ruffled about being one of the teh awesome l33t fangirls who didn't get into the first one.~~ In fact, some of the previous applicants DID go to the second one. We saw them in the third one too, and they've even expressed interest in going to this one.

Dictionary.com's Word of the Day was circumspect. That is:

circumspect \SUR-kuhm-spekt\, adjective:
Marked by attention to all circumstances and probable consequences; cautious; prudent.

Apparently. That is something this wanker didn't have.

I gotta hand it to this woman though. Because of her, I feel vindicated. Is this what you call 'karma'?
