I opened my site again (2 weeks ago, I think), put the maintenance mode plugin back to its place, in hopes that one of these days (during my christmas break), I’ll be able to conceptualize a layout that will work for me and would catapult to making an epic comeback to the blogging world.

Unfortunately, I’ve failed in even trying to do that.. because, the moment I opened photoshop, 2 hours has passed and I haven’t finalized even just a draft! I guess blogging is out of my system now?

NAH, NOT QUITE. I blame tumblr for sucking all my time that’s supposed to be for this site. For major upgrades, especially now that I’ve learned new things in school about Web Dev’t that might just come in handy for my own use, for upcoming layouts and such. 2009 was a year spent in Tumblr, and I’m not very proud of that.. its like being addicted to cocaine, or like addiction that hardcore rpg gamers experience.

I still write long-ass entries that a couple of people find time to read (though I notice the trend now is tl;dr), and between those long, novela-length entries, I put some random filler posts in between. Heh, no, they aren’t there just to be fillers.. or for tumblarity (DIE!), they’re there simply for the reason that I want to ‘share’ it, or for my sake of filling up my “tumblr scrapbook”, to be some kind of design.

Anyway, 2010′s a new year.. hopefully a year that I will become more active here again. Happy new year guys! I’m really excited to see things unfold this year, hahaha. And and, don’t you just find the number 2010 pretty in general? I know for sure I’ll enjoy writing/typing this year.. on quiz papers (no not really, I don’t get quizzes anymore in school; if we do.. its usually online-based haha)

2010
2010

It’s so easy to type, unlike 2009.. boring. What more with the year “2012″? Ooooh, intriguing! )

Let me know what I missed on the blogosphere! Please? Tumblr and domain blogging are two very different worlds.. though, I noticed towards the end of 2009, more people started using it. And many people didn’t agree with that. That’s another story!

Oh yeah, I parted ways/broke with unlearnme.cn hahaha. I couldn’t pay up the price for a .cn anymore, too expensive! I’ve a new one but I’m gonna use it for school so no need to really know what’s the name.. but I’m sure y’all can figure out what it is when I say that it’s a domain name I’ll be using professionally. And for the first time, my domain name is not related to Incubus!

At least na -“Tri mo na”. Hehehe… – eagle4

Despite the typhoon yesterday we still pushed through with our Trinoma trip. Luckily I didn’t get sick from the weather. If the weather cooperated more we could have looked at the whole place and not stress over the time with rushing to go back to the train station to get a good spot and from beating the traffic on our way home.

Yesterday was the wrong time to rain on our parade. Hehehe.

But I’m glad we watched 17 Again because its one of the movies I was dying to see. My money was well spent on that movie, I enjoyed it a lot and I would love to watch it again. My friend treated me to some Mrs. Fields cookies (my fave!) and I bought a box of Krispy Kremes on our way home.

I hope I can go back there soon on a sunny day, haha. Something tells me that’s not the first and last time I’m going to that place. The north takes some time getting used to in my opinion but I’d love to back there again!!

Next on my to-do list: Buy new clothes and have my hair fixed.

Hehe, school’s just a week and half away. Nervous, yes. I haven’t enrolled myself, no paid my tuition for next term yet. Boo, I already feel that I’m going to be a loner on my first day, seriously.

I want to buy a new pair of shoes btw. I’m eyeing a white pair of Chuck taylors lately, but I’m torn between getting a low-cut or hi-cut pair. I have 1 hi-cut pair of Chucks which looks pretty ruined already cause I’ve worn it sooo many times and its starting to fall apart, haha.

Low-cut or Hi-cut? White or suggest me another color? Thoughts?

Friend told me that I should get a low-cut pair cause hi-cuts are not that in anymore, haha. I wear my hi-cut with long pants anyway, but I like a pair that I can wear with anything, not just pants and shorts.

Today’s the last day of April and tomorrow is May, and officially after that.. I have 20 free days and then I go back to school after that. Ugh, not again.. SCHOOL. It’s TOO early to talk about school at this point, isn’t it? But when you think about it, it’s not too long before May 21 comes knocking at your door, it’s not too ‘close’ either.

My brother and I were supposed to go out today.. to Trinoma. Yup, that big mall in the North. People say that it’s bigger than Mall of Asia already so it must be REALLY huge and I want to see it! Besides, I’ve NEVER been to any malls around Quezon City. :doh: ‘Supposed to’ because its raining now and ugh, dunno, I feel lazy to go out already. I think it stopped for now but the weather isn’t looking happy (sunny) yet. I would rather go out in the heat than a rainy weather.. what if we come by a flooded place? We’ll commute on our way there pa naman. )

Anyway.. a lot of things have happened since my last entry. Wait, it has been only just a week since I updated? It felt like 4 weeks! I have posted most of it on my other journal already. Apologize for updating this late, and last.

1. I passed 2nd year! Well, almost. I failed a class, take a guess. Its okay, not. Big deal, I’m gonna repeat it for the 3rd time and then what? Fail again? See it actually helps to be negative and pessimistic about something. At least I knew this was bound to happen. If I kept on saying to myself that I will pass and then get that grade, I’d end up crumbling down again and crying, just like last time.

Ironically.. I got one failing grade and the rest of my grades are perfect. No grade below 90 and if only I passed that subject.. again, I could have been a Dean’s Lister for the term. Fate doesn’t want me to be a DL. Fuck you, fate. :whistle: It’s always like that.. I get a low (or REALLY low grade but this rarely happens) then the rest are high enough to make me a DL.

2. I finally have a DSLR!!! Horrrraaay! I never thought this day would come that I will own a camera like this. Now, my dreams are complete. =)) But I’m serious with that part. I thought I’d only get a laptop but my parents agreed (mom) to buy me this camera as well since I’m going to use it for school sooner or later.

It’s also a good thing that I was patient enough for this because if I bought one earlier, I won’t get to own a better model. Actually, IDK if there is such thing as a good camera model.. they say it’s on the “photographer” and not on the “camera”. (Arrow/Indian quote). Its a tough decision at first, 5D or 450D, then at the store we compared 50D to 450D, and I chose the latter. Hmm.. I named it Casey.

The HD video capability isn’t much of my concern.. but would be good to have one in a camera. S’ok, next time when I’m better and deserving of a better cam, I’ll get one with HD recording feature hehe.

3. Hanging out with my high school friends.One of the things I want to do during my summer break is to spend a day with them since I’ve been missing out all the time one our previous bonding sessions thing (cause of school). This happened last weekend, after we enrolled our brother, my mom dropped me off at my friend’s condo in Manila and the rest is history.

4. I’ve started reading books again. I think I started reading again last week but I finished a book just last night, lol. Yes that’s an accomplishment for me because the book is really thick it felt like I am never going to finish it. You really need to be patient when you’re reading. )

The photo is flipped because of Photobooth, I tried to flip it back but I look weird. Hahahahaha.

And I’m glad I read this certain book patiently. I have this book “Beach Blondes: A Summer Novel” by Katherine Applegate that I bought and started reading last year but I stopped on August after that I didn’t get to read it again. Until two days ago I got bored and picked this book randomly, good thing I still remember where I stopped. I didn’t read from the first part again, I skipped to the last part I read instead.

Its really boring and typical at first (teenager Summer Smith, girl from Minnesota with no boyfriend and living the plain ol Jane life comes to Crab Claw Key for the summer. She meets new people and snags 3 possible boyfriends along the way!) but when you get to the middle part of the book, that’s when it gets thrilling and keep you wanting to find out what happens next. Of course before you get to that, there’s going to be the boring parts first. Yeah, believe me. )

There are twists, too. Interesting story, actually. I wish they’d make this to a movie, really!!

So now I finished reading Beach Blondes, I hope I get to finish reading this book that I almost forgotten that I had it. The other book, Chicken Soup for The Soul, belongs to one of my colleagues and I borrowed it from her then completely forgotten about it until I saw it on my mother’s table last night, lol.

It reminds me of Paulo Coelho’s “Like The Flowing River”, its packed with inspiring story, quotes and snippets. Hopefully this won’t take long to finish.

By the way, did I mention that the book Beach Blondes is almost as thick as the HP4 book?? HELL YEAH! That’s why it took me a looooooooooong time to finish it. Same with that Harry Potter book.

5. CHUCK COMES TO AN END…. For good or just for now? Last Tuesday was the finale of Chuck season 2 and I hope this show gets a season 3. At the end there’s a To Be Continued, what does that mean? Some sites say NBC doesn’t care about that.. others are hopeful that there is going to be a season 3 to this show.

To summarize the finale: Casey gives Chuck his paycheck for the services he has done for the past 2 years then hugging ensues, Casey gives Chuck is personal phone number :X . Ellie’s dream wedding comes true with a bit of mishap at first, Chuck gets the intersect back into his head and learns something new along the way.

Heroes finale was also on the same day and there’s a sneek peek of Volume 5 alrady, damn!! They’re so sure about it already.. D: I love Heroes but the storyline is getting nowhere, really. Its all the same, save the world stuff.. new villains and dead heroes come back to life. Its getting old. NBC should investigate on Heroes more than Chuck, really. I don’t want to talk about cutting shows on TV, its like taking away the jobs of the actors hahaha. In the end all they want is to earn money from their hard work. Everybody works hard don’t they? (How did I get to this topic?)

With Chuck and Heroes done for the meantime.. I’m out of shows to watch again except for Smallville (and they often go on breaks pa!).. What to watch now? Gossip Girl is starting to look interesting to me but I’m not sure if I can still catch up. I want to watch shows that are still fairly new so I can catch up with downloading new episodes, unless someone would let me borrow their DVDs of the show or something.

6. A friend suggested I watch Firefly since I like Adam Baldwin so much (hahaha YES). I downloaded all the episodes last week and I finished episodes 1-10 yesterday.. There are 14 episodes + 1 movie so today, if possible, I’ll watch the last 4 episodes & the movie tonight or tomorrow.

Too bad this show got canceled. Phooey. I can’t describe what this show is about, look it up on IMDB. =)) But I like it nonetheless and not only because of Adam, I’m way past that. ;;) :hmph:

Right now, I’m downloading True Blood.. its taking so long, add to the fact that the internet connection is going bonkers lately. Damn. So much to watch, so little time!!

Okay it took me 2 hours to write this post. Amazinggggg. ) BYE NOW!
