Wow. It's been so long since I put up an entry. Sorry for not updating sooner, guys. I've been busy. I have no desire to put this page on hiatus, just in case anyone's wondering. That wouldn't be fair considering I've been addicted to blogging before and I used to update daily. Well, this particular entry I'm gonna divide into "subcategories". (It sounds like something from a game show, doesn't it?) I might do the same pattern if I'm going to update weekly or twice a month. Here goes..

School:
I've been going to the library a lot these past few weeks. I finish some homework there, do notes of reports, and write stories for Lumad. (Lumad is a book; a compilation of poems, short stories, and some artworks done by fellow Sebastinians.) I'm quite fond of libraries. I find peace there with all those books, all those silent students.. gotta love the air-condition as well. If only there's like a big public library around here, I'll probably make it my "hang-out place". =D

My grades (the announced ones) were fairly high this Midterm. I find this a bit funny though:
ReEd and College Algebra - grades were raised by 1point
Sining ng Pakikipagtalastasan and Philippine History - grades were the same
Guidance and Counseling and History of Education - grades were dropped by 1point

See the pattern? Nice ratio, ne?

Our grades in Remedial English and Biology were presumably going to be given next week.
Hopefully, Iill be able to maintain my grades despite these shortcomings.. coz Ill create another mask and raise up my shield once again..

Books:
Kuya Raylord lent me a couple of books: last year's Lumad and 50 Great Short Stories. I read some of Lumad's but only two of 50 GSS. Naninibago nanaman ako sa writing styles there. It needs concentration and patience in understanding.. some of which I don't have recently. *sigh* When will my mind be stable?

As for leisure-reading, I read Bloody Mary again by Carlos Malvar. (I dunno but I find it quite addictive!) This time- while eating crackers and then falling asleep afterwards! XD

My next target for my leisure-reading is The Light Princess by George MacDonald. I read this before but I didn't exactly understand it. There's something deep within the concept.

Health:
I noticed I've been eating a lot of snacks. (It must be a good thing, right? I mean, most people gain weight coz of in-between meals eating.) I mean, every waking hour I'll think about what to eat. (I'm not kidding. I must be getting a bit obsessed about gaining weight.) I also drink water (and milk) a lot more than usual since I'm getting worried about my excretory system. Long story. Besides, my mom's been nagging me about it so.. heh. *shrugs*

Another change in diet: I'm taking vitamins now, Revicon, to be exact. I also drink Milo almost every morning. Those will give me energy through lazy times. XD

I have the worst sleeping pattern now. Because of Ayashi no Ceres manga addiction and mp3 downloads, I've been sleeping at around 2am. Yes, it's sad. (I'll wake up at 10am.) But I couldn't help it! Internet has got me hooked!

Here are the sites I'm always on:
Fanfiction.net
MangaVolume
Friendster
Reality Lapse.COM

I should lay low on internet nowadays.. it's been eating out my savings haha.
Well, that's all for now. I'll try to update weekly.

The Computer Tragedy

One night a few days ago, Kuya Albert and Kuya Chris (the two technicians that sis Chamie recommended) came over to format my computer, put a bigger memory, and install Adobe Photoshop 7.0. They were explaining to me that the former technician did this thing called "patrician" or something so that I have back-up files. It was a good thing, they said. I was happily waiting outside my room. I even called Gladys to check up on her life. All's well when suddenly I received a very bad news.

"We didn't know it was formatted like that."
"What do you mean?"
"When we were deleting your files from the Documents, we saw that the same files on your back-up were being deleted as well."
".."
"It's a good thing that we observed what happened. Some of your files were saved."
".. and the others?"
"Well, we're sorry. The format that your former technician did was wrong. It's not supposed to work that way."
"My files..?"
"Your files were deleted."

Yes. You read it right. (You could say that this was the reason why I didn't blog lately.) More than 3/4 of my files were gone. For 5 years that I've been with my computer, saving music files, pictures, fanfictions, research materials, personal stuff.. *sigh* All that patience and hard work.. All those sleepless nights and efforts.. All that electric bills and internet cards.. All those memories and ideas.. ALL GONE.

I thought I was gonna faint. Tita Ellen said I looked so white that night, as if I'm a marble statue carved to life. My throat felt hallow, my whole body was shaking, my hands were clammy, and my mind wandered.

I cried hard before dinner. It was definitely unbelievable. I wrote about 10 original stories and saved it there. My memorable videos and pics were stored there from my stolen camera. All my precious files were gone. What were left were the unimportant ones.

It's amazing how one moment can change your life or your view of life forever.
Life stinks. I'm depressed. It's freaking horrible, man.

... Quotes

Love is not just about finding someone you can live with, but finding someone you can't live without.

It is not about finding someone perfect to love, but loving the imperfect person perfectly.

Destiny is an excuse of letting things happen than making it happen.

I chose this layout since I can't "fix" the codes on the other one. I simply couldn't find out what's wrong with it (the text of the entries cannot be seen). I love this current layout. It gives me that artistic feel and sort of brooding. I thought it's perfect because my entries here are, for the most part, pretty depressing. Being heart-broken makes you poetic. I wanted to read my entries again to see how much I've grown. Getting hurt is part of life. (I think through the years of suffering, I've finally become more mature.) Being stronger afterwards is what matters afterall. =)
