you need a lot of these letters to make a mat. but each letter functions on its own sweet way

just like this cotton candy...
one container, four different flavors 

people need to learn that no matter how close they are to a person, that person's business is not theirs. Most of the time, it is insulting to give unsolicited advice or help. Not meddling with a someone's problem doesn't mean being inconsiderate of that someone's feelings. On the contrary, it's the best expression of telling him/her that he/she is smart and strong enough to handle his/her situation.  

cosplay

cheska-san and I never talked about the outfits that we would wear this friday. It was mere coincidence or let's charge it to our almost similar wave length that we had the same theme. Yup: Anime style. 

It's not entirely cosplay since I did not have any anime character I could base my outfit on. Aside from that I want to just look the part without overdoing it. I haven't seen the day that i will wear a wig outside.

it's nice to deviate from my usual style from time to time. It breaks the ice around me. i want to catch people off guard and i can say i did it again. 

one speed only

Pascual Liner got it from me awhile ago. I gave the bus driver and the conductor a piece of my mind. It was my second time riding a bus from the same company and nothing changed: the bus was too slow. It was a déjà vu indeed. Speaking from the point of view of someone who rides the killer buses in Novaliches, this is definitely saying something. I felt that I should have taken a jeepney for all my money’s worth. Really. There was no difference. The bus kept on stopping at corners every two minutes or so—I was listening to my playlist as usual and I observed that a song did not finish without the bus stopping. Nothing would have ignited my anger, and I was even thinking that it was mere coincidence that the bus was Pascual Liner yet again, and I did not want to over generalize that company. What triggered my temper was the fact that more jeepneys passed us by. It was unnerving. At first, I only stomped my feet. The next time it happened, I already voiced my exasperation: Can’t this bus run any faster?

Not caring even if the other passengers gawked at me, I got off the bus. They could all stink in that bus for all I cared. All I had in mind was to get another bus that would run faster. Good thing I did.

Yup, I wasted my money but I got the sheer pleasure knowing that I had been right all along. That bus had one speed only. My second bus passed it along C-5.

I vow not to ride any bus from the same company. I don’t care even if they have different drivers, different buses and I doubt that they will notice that they miss one passenger from the thousands of people in my area. All I know is twice is enough.

unburied

A picture does paint a thousand words that I can’t bear looking at your happy ones…they shout at me that whilst I drown myself in my insufferable bitterness, you are there contented and satisfied. I have already thrown your pictures away. However, I still have one left-the one where you are neither happy, nor sad…your ID picture. It’s the only picture of thousands of words that I can interpret in thousands of meanings.

back pain

This morning I woke up with a terrible back ache and I kept on asking myself why for a full 3 minutes before I remembered. I had fallen down the stairs yesterday. It was not as tragic as “falling from stairs” sounds. I had slipped 3 steps, maybe.  I am still asking myself why I neither felt anything yesterday, nor early this morning when I went home. I am feeling the full impact of the fall this afternoon. My bones keep on complaining in funny places. 

my Duo--one of the few people
I'll cancel my appointments just to see

People rarely move me. People can rarely make me do something I don’t really want. Perhaps I have been exposed to different behaviors and manners already—I can pass as a Psychologist already. It is understandable then for my point of view that I have a high respect for some who can trigger my lazy bones and turn them into an adrenaline rush.

stinking bug...i hate it. I am itchy all over

There are things about me that I want to convey and let other people know. That is why I have a blog in the first place. There, whether it’s updated or not, I say what I think is good enough to be shared and I keep the rest to myself or to my well-chosen friend. Therefore, if I have something I keep from you, then that means you are not meant to know it. Neither have you the right to share it because how can you share something you are not entitled to. You are stealing something from me and the worse thing is I can’t imprison you for it. What’s the worst thing? The fact that you know me and yet you do this.

gotta catch 'em all

At this very moment, I am not really sure what to think. All I have in mind is I have to post something for my blog because it has been ages since I have last posted something substantial.

Shall I tell you about Pokemon?

Right. That’s all I can think of anyway. It’s my brother’s fault. You see, he downloaded a GBA application which enables people to play Gameboy games using PCs. I thought it was about time that I got to play a different game since I already conquered Zuma several months ago and the swirling colorful balls don’t interest me anymore.

Together with the application are the games themselves and some of them are Pokemon games. I could not believe my eyes at first and before I knew it, I was hooked. I am playing Pokemon Fire Red version by the way. It is my second time playing it through my PC. My first game has been corrupted by my own stupid fingers (I have saved a new game to my old game, huhu…). I think I am spending at least one hour a day playing it, forsaking my blogs, my stories, my laundry, myself. Can you blame me? I have been in love with Pikachu for as long as I can remember.

Currently, I have already succeeded in the Pokemon League (for those who have played this, you know what I am saying). I am being too careful in saving the game otherwise the same file corruption will happen. Also, I am so careful in battling now, aiming for my Pocketmonsters to reach higher levels. To give you an idea, my Charmander (Eiji) is level 73, Zapdos(Syuusuke) is 53, Articuno(Masaharu) is 51, Pikachu (Fuji) 51, Gyarados (Yuuta) 43, and Gloom (Ibu) 41.And yes, you are reading it correctly. I have named them after Prince of Tennis characters.

The big problem is the version I have is not complete and it ends after the player has beaten Gary Oak. This is upsetting for me since I have been expecting more. Blame the reviews and guides I have seen in the internet.

I think I will try the other versions even if I am not familiar with the new generation of Pokemons (how can Japan produce so many?).

That’s just it. You have wasted your time reading an incoherent journal about Pokemons. Hehe.

I have had enough of being threatened. I think it’s high time that criminals realize that we are more powerful than they are. Not because they hold knives and guns that it means we have to endure their threats. How many people are there in a bus or in a jeepney against 2-5 people who have flimsy weapons? We SHOULD NOT be afraid of them. THEY should be afraid of us. These people should not feel that they are strong. They should be ashamed of themselves until they decide to just erase themselves from the face of the earth.

Or else…

Go Charizard, I choose you! Fire blast!!!
