Itutuloy ko naaaaa… Dahil wala akong magawa.

7. Sa YouTube at Dailymotion na ako nanonood ng WWE at TNA, respectively. Nauunahan ko yung mga taong nakasubaybay sa JackTV. Kaya ako nanonood ngayon sa Internet ng Wrestling ay dahil mawawala na raw yung JackTV sa cable. Not sure kung 100% true yon, pero sana wag naman. Kawawa yung mga kids na naghihintay kay John Cena (plastic mode). Kawawa yung Filipino wrestling fanatics community na walang access sa broadband internet.

8. Habang nanonood ng wrestling, naisipan ko ring manood ng mga classic matches at yung mga lumang comedy clips ng wrestlers sa mga shows. The best talaga yung kay Scott Steinter, wahahahaha! Scott Steiner on the microphone, for the win! GIT MY BEGS! GIT MY BEGS! Tsaka yung ano… quoted to ah, "Homey Sapiens" at yung "Highly Educated University", HAHAHAHAHA! Panalo talaga si Scott Steiner! Meron pa sa isang video, si Scott Steiner sinasabi nya kay Goldberg through an interview, "IMMA GONNA GET GOLDBERG FOR FRACTIONING MY FACE!" Ahahahahaha! Dapat sa fractioning, FRACTURING! WAHAHAHAHAHA!

9. Minsan lang ako maglaro ng Marvel vs. Capcom 2, tapos ngayon ko pa nagawa yung Unfly combo ni Iron Man. Hirap non, grabe. The Iron Man Unfly combo tutorial - eto yung reference ko. Pang show lang talaga siya, not good to do pag napakagaling ng kalaban mo.

10. Ginaganahan na naman ako mag-drawing ule. Siguradong puno na naman yung likod ng notebook ko nito, hahahaha! Balak ko i-scan yung mga pages na yun, kaso nga lang tinatamad ako. Next time na lang siguro. Tsaka ano… Para sa scrapbook pa pala, kelangan pa mag-drawing para sa scrapbook namin sa Theology. Sa Monday na yung deadline, kelangan kong ayusin dahil ako yung leader ng grupo namin.

Marami akong naisip na kung ano ngayong araw na ‘to, kasama yung mga kalokohang narinig ko kahapon.

1. Masarap pala yung feeling na bina-bash ka dahil sa pagbibigay ng isang simpleng comment sa blog ng isang friend ko sa UST. It made feel that I’m superior. Check it out, nandito siya sa link na to, SC Resign Article by John Carlo Masajo. I posted my real name there (Jeriel), para malaman ng may-ari ng site na yun na ako yon. Salamat kay anon123 for supporting me. (I know you, pero I respect the fact na tinatago mo yung pangalan mo sa mga nagbabasa ng blog ni Carlo)

2. Nung pauwi ako, may nakita akong dalawang tao, isang lalake at isang babaeng magkaibigan (not lovers, friends). Tapos nagpakuha si lalake ng picture sa isang friend nya. Sabi nya, "Oh game, solo pic ha, solo." So ayun, pose pose siya. Tapos yung friend nyang babae, sumama sa picture. Wala lang. I was expecting na magra-rant yung lalake, "ANO BA?! SOLO NGA, EH!" Pero hindi, eh. Kung ako yon, siguro yun nga sinabi ko. Yung background nya yung giant Christmas tree sa tabi ng Araneta Colliseum, by the way.

3. Natandaan ko yung Eat Bulaga nung Monday. Napanood ko, and I noticed a new person there. Tinanong ko sa Lola ko kung may bago bang host sa Eat Bulaga. Sabi nya, "Ha? Sino?" Well, anyway, nasabi na rin naman ni Pia Guanio kung sino siya after kong tinanong si Lola. Si Lougee B. pala ng Mojofly. Nagtataka pa rin ako, hanggang ngayon, kung regular na ba siya don, o napadaan lang. Anyway, di ko na problema yon.

4. Nanonood ako ng Marimar kagabi, tapos may nakita akong scrolling letters sa baba. News flash about sa nangyari sa Batasan complex. May sumabog na bomba sa South Wing ng Batasan. Pinanood namin yung News Flash ng GMA nung nag-commercial na yung Marimar. Ayun, nakakuha kami ng info na may 4 na nasugatan, tapos isa don, si Rep. Henry Tevez. Ni-try namin sa ABS-CBN, pero walang news flash. Sa ANC naman, wala pa silang mabigay na pangalan kung sino yung na-injure. The next day, nalaman ko na yung total ng mga sugatan at namatay sa eksenang yun. 4 dead, 12 injured. Hmm… Itatago ko na lang muna yung mga hinala ko.

5. Nakita ko yung pamaypay ko na ginagamit ko dati sa school. Nakita ko ulet yung mga nakasulat don na mga quotes. Eto yung mga nakasulat:

a) It’s either you believe, or let your beliefs kill you. It’s your choice.

b) Ang girlfriend, di yan oxygen, na kapag mawala siya, mamamatay ka.

c) A bridge falls when one or both sides crumble, no matter how sturdy it was built.

d) Every light has its own darkness, but don’t let yours kill you.

e) In everything you do, there’s always a pain you avoid, and a pleasure you desire.

f) Happiness is a small interval between two desires.

Big thanks to my Philosophy professor, Ms. Leni Garcia for teaching quotes D and F. Salamat sa X ng isang friend ko for making me say to him quote B. Salamat sa isa kong friend na naging bridge ko to a former ano, at naisip ko yung quote C. Salamat sa Quantitative Methods professor ko ngayon, Prof. Eric Siy, for teaching us quote E. And lastly, TNA wrestler Sting, for saying quote A.

6. Nakita ko sa DLSU Website na pwede mo pala ma-email don yung mga prof. Di ko lang alam kung 100% na masesend sa kanila yung message mo. Parang… Ewan. ITC kasi namin yon, eh. Madalas na buggy pa naman yung system nila. Eh kailangan pa naman namin yung tulong ng prof namin sa Theology ngayon.

End of Randomness.

Before I start, I’ll be cutting the "After the Hiatus" series because I’m too busy to continue that.

–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–

Kakapagod yung weekend, sobra! Compared to last year’s LU Live, mas stressing ‘to, kahit mas maliit yung crowd volume. Paano naman kasi, na-interview ako tapos napakita pa ako sa big screen. Napilitan ako, eh. Ayoko kasi iwanan sa ere yung mga friends ko na hinila para ma-interview din. So ayun, sinamahan ko sila, at nung tinanong ako, binigyan ko sila ng mahabang speech. Day 1 yan… Nung day 2, napunta na naman ako sa stage area, nagamit as a stage ninja. I liked that one, though, kasi nakakuha ako ng mga pictures. Tignan niyo sa Friendster profile ko yung picture na yun. Yung iba pang pics, nasa Multiply ko. My links dito sa blog ko to those sites.

LU Live Day 1:

Used the free shuttle service from Gateway to the World Trade Center. Kalahati ng bus, napuno ng mga Flyffers. Wala akong makausap. Naki-ride na lang ako sa kanila, kasi naglaro naman ako ng Flyff kahit konti. Meron pa nga sa kanila, umaasa sa Early Bird award. Tawa ako nang tawa sa loob ko, dahil di nila alam kung gaano katindi ang mga tunay na addict sa Online games na nilalaro namin. For sure naman kasi, may magka-camp out na the night before. Pagdating namin dun, ayun, gulat na gulat sila. Ako, ok lang. Di naman yun yung habol ko, eh. Moral support ako sa Perfect World: Tiger server nung araw na yun. Yung laban nila, 5pm pa. So naglibot muna ako, and waited for my friends to arrive. Nakita ko yung in-game adopted daughter ko sa Fenrir server, si Cloudmist (iRL, Louisa). Nag-usap muna kami tapos lumabas na ako para ipagpatuloy yung paghintay sa ibang mga friends ko. Pagdating nila, nagtanghalian kami sa Gumbo sa MoA.

Yung boyfriend nung kasama ko, na-adik sa salitang JAMBALAYA. Inuulit-ulit nya na yun na parang isang Pokémon. As in, pag kakausapin mo, ang sasagutin nya madalas eh, "Jambalaya". After nung lunch, naglaro kami sa Quantum Power Station bago kami bumalik sa WTC para mapanood yung laban ng Tiger at Dragon sa PW Championships.

Bago magsimula yung laban, ayun, nakahanap kami ng pwesto sa harap. BOOM, may nagtanong sa ‘min kung pwede kami ma-interview. ‘Di na rin kami makatanggi, kasi randomly selected eh. After nung interview, nagsimula na yung preparations para sa laban ng Tiger at Dragon. Pina-cheer ng mga host yung mga Dragon at Tiger server residents. Lamang na lamang yung Dragon nung bandang simula. Ang nangyari, nadalawahan sila ng Tiger. 2-0. Kala namin mananalo na yung Tiger. Tapos pina-cheer ulet yung mga tao. Biglang lumamang yung mga Tiger sa cheer. Ayun, natalo. 2-3. Champions ang Dragon. Dismayado kami, pero alam naman namin na binigay ng mga Tiger representatives ang kanilang best fight sa bawat round.

LU Live Day 2:

Pinunta ko sa araw na ‘to yung cosplay ng in-game wife ko sa Fenrir server, si Syl. Tapos yung ano rin, yung eyeball ng mga guild ko sa Fenrir, Alarius Eversor (AE) at Legends. Nag-lunch kami sa Jollibee ng mga guildmates ko sa AE, sa tapat ng DFA. After nun, bumalik na kami sa WTC. Pagdating ko don, biglang tinanong sa kin nung friend ko kung pwede ko raw bang tulungan si Syl sa on-stage play nila. Nung una, nag-doubt ako, pero nung nandun na ako, na-realize ko para sa kanya pala yung ginagawa ko. Binigyan nya ako ng regalo bago nun, para raw sa nagdaang birthday ko. In return, tinulungan ko sila don. Dahil don, I gained access to the cosplayers entrance. Picture picture picture~! Masaya ako, dahil nakakuha ako ng mga pictures, pero binura ko yung iba don, kasi ang laboooooooo. Sayang yung iba don, magaganda pa naman yung mga cosplayers at yung mga costume nila. Pero ok lang, nabawi ko naman dun sa picture ko with Syl cosplaying as Ragnarok Online’s Valkyrie and another girl cosplaying as Pangya’s Kooh. Ok na~

Yung araw rin na yun, kumpleto yung Ragnarok Family ko. Ako, si Syl, at si Louisa. May picture na naman kami, at masaya ako don. Minsan lang kasi kami makumpleto. Sa mga ganung event lang, yung magko-cosplay lang si Syl. Salamat at nagkaroon kami ng ganitong chance para magkasama kahit sandali lang. Para kasing pamilya ko na rin yung mga yun, eh. Matagal ko silang nakasama sa Fenrir. Nagkasawaan lang kami sa paglalaro. Mahirap na rin kasi magpalevel at mag-allot ng pera para sa gametime, so kahit in-game, di na rin kami masyado nagkikita. Nagpapasalamat ako sa chance na yun.

–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–

So ayun. Masaya ako at ganito ang mga nangyari sa LU Live. Para sa mga gustong tignan yung mga pictures sa event, check nyo na lang sa Multiply ko. May link ako dito. Pasensya na, medyo konti yung nilagay ko don. Nawalan kasi ako ng batt at memory eh.

Matagal akong hindi nakapag-post dito sa blog ko dahil nagkatrangkaso ako, at sobrang bad trip ako sa mga nangyayari recently. Nawawala yung drive ko sa pag-type dito. Eto, para mabawi ko yung mga araw na wala ako, eto yung isa sa mga nangyari nung mga araw na may trangkaso ako.

–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–

The RELSTRI On-Site Service at the Lagoon Community, East Avenue, Quezon City, held last October 13, 2007, from 9AM to 4PM. Our RELSTRI professor told us that community service must be done not for the sake of passing a requirement, but voluntarily. That statement brought me to a realization that we should give it our best in helping the people at the community.

I didn’t care if I had flu symptoms on the day of the scheduled on-site work. It was my fault for not staying healthy, knowing that I signed up for the October 13 service. I still went on, not for the grade, but for the kids. It would be a waste if I ditched the on-site service because I was sick.

Our task was to feed the children in the community and organize a series of fun activities for them. We played games, let them shoot a couple of jump shots, gave them a little art lesson and gave them a little talent showcase. Seeing them smile makes me think that what we did was enough to make them feel happy even for just one day. One of the kids told me asked me if we could organize another activity for them the following week, but I told him that another group will organize an activity for them.

I had the chance to talk to some of the kids when they were having the art time. I shared my talent in art, showed them my sketchpad and taught them how to color pictures the right way. I felt happy because they appreciated my works, and because they didn’t hesitate to ask me questions on how to draw this and that. This was a great opportunity for sharing what I have, even to some of them.

I felt happy knowing that some of them would want US to have an activity again the following week. This just means that our activity was effective for them. Even if we were short of the game prizes and give-aways, even if it was only 7 hours of their day, even if we did it during high noon, they were happy because we were there to have fun with them.

–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–o–

Ayan. Masaya naman ako at nagkaroon ng ganitong opportunity, despite the busy schedules of a delayed engineering student. Mas masaya pa sana kung hindi lang talaga ako tinamaan ng trangkaso nung mga araw na yon.

May After the Hiatus 2 pa, abangan. XD

I’ve been receiving a lot of calls from "you’ll earn by just referring people to us"-kind of companies lately, but I never expected that the one who called me into this was the girl who I really treasure the most.

I was going to school for the ONLY "class" I have for today, when she texted me that if I have the time, I’ll meet her at The Podium later at 6. Thinking that this was the trigger for me to treat her for dinner, I told her that I’ll come. Well, actually, she didn’t tell me the real reason why should I be there. It was my fault to begin with. I should’ve asked her before I went there, so that I wouldn’t be ranting all night about this business thing. I arrived at The Podium at exactly 6pm, and she wasn’t there. She texted me, asking if I’ve arrived. I said yes, and she said she was going to be there in a bit. So I spent my time waiting in Quantum Power Station, playing an old game I used to play. I played for an hour, and then she called, saying sorry for being so late. I told her that’s it’s ok. After the call, I realized that I have used all of my 50 pesos worth of game credits, so I told her that we’ll meet in Starbucks at the ground floor. She replied the reason why she invited me to go to The Podium, and that is the business thing I’m talking about. She arrived at 8pm. I didn’t care if she’s two hours late. If it’s for her, I’ll do anything, even if it requires all of my strength.

She arrived, saying sorry to me for being late. I told her that it’s ok. Then she brought me and her friends to the office of that business thing. It was the same scenario. It was like the other business things who invited me in that same area of land, Ortigas. Same kind of talks, same kind of stories, same kind of eye sores (it’s a school thing. On the first business thing, the top man is from Ateneo. This time, one of their tarps says Soar High, Eagle). They were talking of the same enormous amount of money. I won’t bite. My mind’s still closed for these type of things. These business things are like the pyramid types. You earn money by telling other people to join them. When I heard about the figure, I was about to bite. But when she told me that there was a pay-in of P7300, I doubted. I couldn’t completely disagree, because she’s the one I treasure the most. I can’t say no to her. She was telling me to join them this Friday, but I really can’t. There’s no way I can get P7300 in one day. She’s giving me the "There are a lot of ways you can borrow money" speech, but there’s just no way. She keeps saying that it’s not impossible, but it is. I don’t know anyone who would give me that amount, even if I say that I will pay them after a week.

I went home, plugged my dead phone, and called her, saying an early sorry for not being able to do what she asked me to do. I said sorry because I’m kinda useless for these kinds of business things. Then she gave me an "easier" task. I think this one of the hard parts in these type of business things. She told me to invite 10 or more people to go there on Friday night. That’s another thing I can’t do. Everybody I know wouldn’t bite to that kind of business thing. I really can’t do it. It’s not going to happen. I could join them on a later time, but not as early as this coming Friday. I’m happy because of the fact that she put 15 other people on hold to let us join in so that we could easily get a lot of kickback, but I really can’t join on Friday. I really wish that giving my time for her was good enough to make her happy. I really wish that it would.

The sorries I told her are now a lot lesser than the sorries she told me for being late. I wish I can make it up to her in some other way. I even asked her to be in a picture with me, and she said it was ok. I really, really appreciate it. Look… I’m happy that she’s earning a lot from that business thing, but I’m not her. I can’t do everything she does. I know she realizes that, but she really believes I can do it. I thank her for that. If she’s reading this, I wish I can find the perfect time to tell her everything stuck in me. It’s not that I don’t want to join that company. It’s something else. I was supposed to tell this to her earlier, but I didn’t because I think it will become the weapon for making me join. I have to find the right time. The business thing just isn’t the right moment to spill.

I want to repeat this day from the start! This day is almost a complete failure. Late ako nagising, dalawang exam na unfinished, isang movie na pinanood for Theology na tear-jerker, at isang napaka-empty na lunch break. The only thing satisfying was the results from the Stat test I took last night. WOOOHOOOOOOO PUMASA! (hirap pumasa don. last year, 75% bumagsak sa first quiz).

Paggising ko, it was the same thing. Si Mama, ginigising ako habang gumagamit ng laptop para mag-internet. Nagising lang ako nung narinig kong nagdabog na naman yung bunso dito. Nakakaasar talaga, tinatanong mo lang yun ng "Nasaan na yung ganito, ganyan" , bigla na lang mag-aamok na parang inaaway sa kanto. Nakakaasar, eh.

Nakaalis naman ako on-time. Kalahati lang ng breakfast ko yung inubos ko (less rice, same amount of ulam). No delays naman sa LRT2 at LRT-Retro. Nakarating ako sa school, nandun na yung prof ko. Buti na lang di pa siya nag-attendance. So ayun, di ako officially late, hahaha! Tinuloy namin yung movie na "Stolen Summer" na sinimulan namin nung Thursday. Shet, yung ending nakakaiyak. Pinigil ko lang eh. Yung mga babae na nasa harap nung TV, grabe sa luha eh. Parang yung mga tiga-UE kahapon. *bragging rights abuse*

Sabi ng mga classmate ko sa Theo, naka-attend na raw sila ng orientation para sa community service nila. Ako naman, nagtaka ako, kasi wala namang announcement na binibigay sa ‘kin. So nagpasama ako sa Center of Social Concern and Action (CoSCA). Nakita ko don yung schedule ng orientation ko. Pucha, bukas pala. Eh dapat maghahanap ako ng magandang restaurant sa Trinoma bukas. Nakaka-badtrip talaga eh. Wala akong Wednesday class, tapos biglang ganito. Sinira na naman nila ang schedule ko.

Went to my next class, ELENGI1 (Electrical Engineering 1), and first quiz yon. Had no trouble solving the first 2 problems, pero yung third and last problem, inabot ako ng siyam-siyam. Isang oras ako don sa problem na yun, hindi ko natapos. Nakakaasar naman talaga. Feel ko nasayang efforts ko sa pag-aaral. Wish ko na lang talaga, the results would be just fine. Fine enough for a 2.5.

Eto na, nakakaasar. Empty lunch break. Napaka… Blangko. Wala lang. Upo. Tambay. Kain. Punta sa UM para mag-arcade na wala namang challenger. Balik sa school. Tambay. Hayz. Boring. Mas natuwa pa ako sa mga araw na nagdo-doze ako sa napakalamig na library, o sumasagot ng mga assignments sa ibang subjects.

Next class, Stat. Nagulat talaga ako sa exam kagabi. Compared to last year’s exam, this was so chicken-like. Before, the average of all stat students in Quiz 1 is below the passing mark, which is 60. Now, someone got a 99, which was near impossible last year. I got a 66 in this year’s quiz 1. Compared to my performance from last year’s stat, this is a lot higher. In fact, it’s more than double the original. Well… Siguro nga mas mataas ako ngayon dahil multiple choice na eh~ Hooray for the new Stat coordinator~

Last class, Strength of Materials. Mentaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal Block. Nakalimutan ko yung formula na dapat gamitin for problems 3 and 4. Minus 30 agad ako, kung hindi siya magbibigay ng partial points. Sana pumasa. Yun lang. Nakakaasar lang talaga. Dahil siguro sa discussion ng mga answers sa Stat Exam kaya ko nakalimutan yung mga vital formula na dapat gamitin for this problem and that. Buti na lang yung mga nakalimutan kong formula yung dalawang 15 points lang. Nasagutan ko naman yung dalawang problem na worth 25 points each. Buti na lang~

Sana talaga, maitama ko yung mga mali ko ngayon. Sana posible nga mag-rewind para magawa ko yon. Petty lang yung mga mistakes ko ngayon, pero napaka-fatal ng after-effects. I’m just thankful that I was able to solve most of the high-stake problems today. Rewind please~

At last, I saw her. Totoo nga yung sinabi ng friends ko na maganda na siya. Well, maganda na naman siya ever since. *bola* Akala ko kanina masasayang na naman ang pagpunta ko sa UST. After a bowl of goto, 2 or so hours chilling at Mayric’s, a glass of Red Horse, and some onion rings, I saw her again. Masayang-masaya ako ngayon. Kahit na may exam ako kanina sa QUANMET (Statistics) from 6 - 9 pm, I didn’t care. At least, my day was complete. Akala ko madadagdagad na naman ng isang araw yung more than 3 weeks of not seeing her.

Ang nangyari kasi, I arrived at Lopez canteen around 10:30 am, and my friend told me that she just went up to her dorm. Parang.. Anu yon? Coincidence? Anlupit naman ng timing non. Di nga nya alam na pupunta ako ‘don, eh. So ayun, frustrated again. Naghintay ako ng mga 30 minutes don, tapos nag-order na ako ng goto at tokwa’t baboy. After kong kumain, pumunta na sa loob ng UST yung mga friend ko para mag-exam. Naiwan akong mag-isa, so tinanong ko yung ibang friends ko don na free. So ayun, pumunta ako sa Beato gate, then sabay-sabay na kami pumunta sa Mayric’s.

We babbled a lot sa Mayric’s. About classic animé songs, like the Zenki opening, the Rayearth Opening, and the like. About the UAAP, HAHAHAHA! Tawa ako ng tawa dito, kasi yung boyfriend nung friend ko na kasama ko sa Mayric’s, pro-UE. Galit na galit sa ‘kin eh, haha. Then about wrestling, on how Cena was stripped of the title due to injury (sa wakas). Tapos I had a glass of Red Horse. Kala ko magkakaroon ng effect sa ‘kin yung isang baso, HAHAHAHA! Tapos ayun, nag-order ng onion rings yung friend ko. Ayun, chibog-chibog, tambay hanggang mag-2, tapos pumasok na sila.

Bumalik ako sa Lopez para kamustahin yung mga friend ko na nag-exam. Tagal ko ring tumambay don, mga lagpas isang oras. Tapos ayun, nakita ko na siya. Short hair na, a lot slimmer, and still beautiful. *bola again* I asked her why she didn’t show up nung birthday ko. Sagot ba naman sa kin, "Di ka kasi nag-text, eh!" Aba, malay ko bang kailangan ko pa siyang i-text para malaman niyang birthday ko na. I told her before that my birthday was on October 2. Nagdahilan na naman, "Eh mga 1 month before na kaya yun!" Sinagot ko siya, sinabi ko na natatandaan ko pa rin naman birthday nya. Sinagot nya, "Eh, ganun eh." Hayz~ I miss these petty fights, HAHAHAHA! Talagang ganyan kami mag-usap.

Pupunta raw siya sa MoA with a friend kanina. Eh wala na naman siyang pera. So ayun, dun na siya kumain sa Lopez. Habang kumakain siya, tinanong ko siya kung pwede siyang lumabas sa Wednesday or sa Friday. Then, sabi niya text-text na lang daw. *happy* Kahit di pa siya sure, at least pumayag siya. After that, she went on with her meal. I asked the people there if she’s paid, and told them that I will pay for her expenses. Nung nakita niya na inaabot na sa cashier yung bayad, pinigil niya tapos binalik niya sa ‘kin yung pera. Sabi niya, "Wag na, ok lang ako." Sabi ko sa kanya na ang unfair naman kung nalibre ko yung iba, tapos siya hinde. Aba’y sabi ba naman, "Special ako, eh. Wag mo ako dito ilibre." Well, ok lang. Siguro sa Friday ko na lang siya malilibre, to whereever she wishes to go. Then ayun, dumating na yung friend niya, tapos tumuloy na sila papuntang MoA. Ako naman, pumunta na sa school para sa exam. Happy~

Plano ko sanang mag-SM North kahapon, kaso panget naman kung tinanggihan ko yung offer ng ibang friends ko na mag-Trinoma. Ok lang, nasa tapat lang naman, eh. Magdo-DoTA daw kami don, tapos mambo-blowout daw yung isa kong friend na kakatapos lang mag-birthday. Eh pagdating namin don sa PCShop sa Trino, walang magkakatabing mga PC. Di rin kami agad nakaupo, so nag-Time Zone muna kami. Gumastos ako ng 100 pesos para sa game credits, tapos naglaro ako ng Tekken LANG. Eh nagsabi pa naman ako sa kanila dati na di na ako maglalaro non dahil quit na ako don. Naglaro ako kasi may expert player na pumatol sa isang bata don, as in nilabanan nya kahit alam nyang button-masher lang yung bata. So ayun, pinaghiganti ko yung bata. Natutuwa naman ako kasi laban lang siya nang laban, nananalo naman ako. Tapos biglang naging larong kanto, grab nang grab, HAHAHA! Sayang yung 9 win streak namin. Ayun, tuluy-tuloy na pagsasayang ko ng credits. Di na umabot sa mahabang win-streak yung isang credit. Di na sulit. Ayun, tapos nag-promise ako ulit na di na ako maglalaro ng Tekken sa arcade, hahaha!

After nung Time Zone, nag-DoTA naman kami, tapos nag-Counter Strike. Umabot kami ng 9pm kakalaro lang. Tapos ayun, naghanap pa kami ng restaurant sa Trinoma. Habang naghahanap, nakita namin si Nina (the singer) na kumakanta sa park area ng Trinoma, tapos tinuloy namin ang paghahanap ng makakainan. mga 9:30pm na kami nakahanap ng resto, tapos umabot kami ng 10:30pm dun. Tapos nag-decide sila na mag-inuman sa bahay ng isang friend ko. Eh di ako pinayagan. Takte, wala nang jeep non, so napilitan akong mag-taxi. Well, nag-ambag naman sila ng pan-taxi ko. So OK, lang. Sayang talaga yung mga ginastos ko dun sa Trino.

Sabi sa ‘kin, darating daw yung GD-Rom ng Capcom vs. SNK 2 kahapon. Well, dumating nga, pero di naman sinabi sa ‘min na hindi pa pala ilalagay sa machine mismo. Ayan tuloy, napagastos na naman ako para sa pamasahe, tanghalian sa Pinoy Toppings at token. Well, medyo OK naman, pero sinayang ko yung token ko sa mga challengers na wala nang ibang alam kundi mag-abang. *Rant* Nakakaasar eh. I know it’s a strategy and all, pero kung buong game mo gagawin, that kinda sucks.

Nag-practice ako ng KoF XI, kaso andaming magagaling na lumalaban sa ‘kin. Di ko naman masabi na wag sila lumaban, kasi di naman sa ‘kin yung machine. Well, yung iba napanalo ko naman, pero karamihan talo pa rin eh. Kahit anong practice ko talaga sa larung yon, di ko talaga maaabot yung mga magagaling, kasi sabay-sabay lang din kami nag-iimprove. Hahaha!

Sa Street Fighter naman, well, yun nga. Puro abang. Yung isang laro ko nga iniwan ko sa sobrang banas ko, eh. Talagang umuurong lang siya, tapos hihintayin nya akong lumapit. Yung mga character pa na gamit nya yung mga tipong DAPAT sumusugod. Wala lang, nakakaasar lang talaga kasi eh. Ok sana kung abang siya, tapos sumusugod din kahit papano, pero hindi eh. Wala talaga. AY AY AY! Isa pang naba-bad trip ako, sa bawat trial kong mag-parry exhibition, di lagi natatapos. Yung una yung Houyouko-Sen (Thousand Kicks) na Super Art ni Chun-li, hanggang gitna lang yung na-parry ko. Isa pa yung Rocket Uppercut ni Dudley, last parry na nga lang, sumablay pa. Nakaka-frustrate, sobra.

Sorry sa mga di maka-relate sa post na ‘to. Yan na yung pinakasimpleng terms na masasabi ko, eh. Pasensya na talaga. Ganyan ang mga bagay na dumadaloy sa utak ng isang arcade-gamer.

Tagal ko na rin siyang ‘di nakita sa Lopez. Parang… Nagiging walang kwenta yung pagpunta ko don. Gumagastos ako ng extra para sa pamasahe, para lang makakain don, at makita siya. Pero ang nangyayari lagi recently is wala siya don. Nanlibre nga ako don nung birthday ko eh, pero wala rin siya don. Sana naman makita ko siya ulit don after some time, para naman maging worthwhile yung visit ko don. Ayoko rin kasing magsayang ng oras para sa wala eh.

For almost three weeks, lagi ko na lang sinasabi sa mga tao don, "Pakisabi sa kanya na dumaan ako dito, ha?". Di naman sa nakakasawa, pero sayang talaga sa oras, eh. I’d give away my time for her, pero not all of it. Makakasama rin yun sa ‘kin, lalo na’t majors ko na ngayon. My only wish is that she would show up to me again. I told her once that I don’t like it when I’m missing people people who I treasure dearly. Sana matandaan niya yon.
