And so I die for a month and revive with this.

Gah, why am I always like this?

So come if you can, my lovelies!

I want to post about sooo many things -- but I just don't know where to begin.

Or where to even end, if you know, I do decide to begin.



Gah, this is what happens when you take a break and come home to enrollment chaos. Well, not really. But I bet that's part of the reason.

---

It's a strange feeling;

to feel so lost even though there's a path laid out for you;

to feel like you hit the brick wall you (thought you) just demolished.



I think my head is playing tricks with me again.


Maybe I should go hermit for a few days. Stay at home, clean my room, fix my internet life, play video games -- you know, slack off from everything in general, do relaxing things -- sort of -- like I used to when I was in high school. I think... it'll do me some good.

It feels like it'll be a breath of fresh air.

Somehow.

---

Maybe its not even me.

I'm so... worried.

---

On the brighter side, I had a dream and it went like this:

I was in St. Paul, in my highschool uniform, and guess what. I had Influenza A(H1N1)! So it was really retarded, everyone else was running around me as if the fire drill alarm had been sounded, and I had to rush to the clinic in the midst of the rampaging students and teachers shouting "H1N1 OUTBREAK!" (And how could it be an outbreak if it was just me?)

Anyway, there were even strange ugly marks around my body -- like the ones when you have the pox. So Sacla said,

"Are you sure that's H1N1 and not Chicken Pox?"

And I replied, "Hey, you're right! I've never gotten Chicken Pox before."

And Sacla* smiled, and I smiled, and Kyoy* thought we were retarded.

And I woke up.

*Literally, sacla and kyoy, as themselves in my dream


Well, its not so much the bright side, I guess, but its kind of funny, eh?

I know you're not supposed to be sentimental about material things, but Ayumu "Kiyotaka"* was my first laptop, my first Macbook, my first bb.

And well,

..he's gone now.

---

*I changed his name at the last minute to make the separation less painful.

And besides, the new one will be named "Ayumu" too, is why

---

Details on the separation... er, when I find a more familiar keyboard to type onto. My brother's keyboard is just too... weird. orz

I'd sing "Guess Who's Back (back back back)" but people would probably throw bananas -- tomatoes? -- apples? -- hopefully a singular grape -- at me.

Hellooo, you guys! How I missed you so! Apologies are in order -- for again, I have failed to keep my resolution to finally make worth of my paid account. It was on hiatus for some months, wasn't it -- and without notice, too boot. Uguuu. I am very sorry.

I missed you guys so much! My whole internet life has been down on the dumps, recently. It's painful, you know? (Errr, unless you count in my recent addiction to Playfish's Restaurant City on Facebook. Uhhh, but besides that, you know, and a dozen more Facebook applications and quizzes, it has been pretty down on the dumps. No, don't give me that look, I'm being serious!)


Anyway!

How are you guys? Update me as much as you'd like (comment, link me to one of your posts, etc), I'd really love it. As for me... well, a dozen things have been happening and I guess I really do have a million things to talk about. But that's for later, and I'll be posting regularly again anyway (I hope) so I'll try to catch up through that.

For now, I'd like you guys to see the proud "triplet-volt-in!" work of me, Kyoy, and Sacla! (Mostly with Kyoy directing. :3 After all, she's the layout expert, woohoo!)


kyoypsychedelic_ayasacla
Layout Change Times Three!
All Stats Increase!
Triplets Volt In!


Okay, so that has got to me the corniest tagline I've made in my entire life, but don't let it steer you away from checking out our layouts! We'd be extremely happy if you did. :3 Hee~ thank you!

---

On a random note, my chemistry lab professor is epic. He tells us to submit our formal reports on Monday but actually means Wednesday then explains, "I said Monday because I knew you'd do it during the weekends. If I'd said Wednesday, you'd cram it on Tuesday."

Wew. Sudden change of events, but he rocks, and I'm not complaining.

Guess who's cramming it on Tuesday anyway? :3

---

Just so that this post will have something fandom-related, because really, I haven't fangirled in a long time over this journal -- so allow me to take the opportunity to BECAUSE EDEN OF THE EAST 05 JUST MADE AKIRA HOTTER THAN HE ALREADY WAS AND--

Oh right. Spoilers underneath the cut, ahem.

( leave it to me )

---

Hee~

In this week of scorching heat -- well, last Monday, it rained.

( raindrops keep falling on my head )


Anyway, the point of that whole backstory is that I am sick. Well, the fever is barely there (it comes and goes but thank goodness its never high) but the colds and cough are horrible, and my chest feels as if a cat has been using my lungs/ribcage to sharpen its claws. Ugh. Why.

My mom gave me meds already and I wish coughs were like headaches who go away at a single dose of a painkiller. But no, they take time, stupid stubborn cough bacteria. FIGHT THEM MY LEUKOCYTES FIGHT THEM!

Yesterday, it was UP AME's Miting De Avance.

I think all the candidates did very well! I know all of us were nervous at first, but I think everyone was able to pull through. Now, its up to the General Assembly to cast their votes! Oh, and me too~ I'll be casting my vote when I go to school.

My goal is to defeat Mr. Abstain fu fu fu. *o* I must not let him reach his invisible hands to the public!

CLANNAD ENDS TODAY! (Formally, at least.)

Give Tomoya and Ushio their Nagisa back, Key and Kyoani *o*!!!111

Specific Plan of Action
For the Publicity Committee

of the University of the Philippines Anime Manga Enthusiasts
Academic Year 2009 - 2010


To the General Assembly of UP AME:
I, Tiffany Beatrice San Juan, inducted into this organization as part of Batch Shemen (2007), hereby present my specific plan of action (SPOA) for the Publicity Committee (PUBCOM). Everything within this composition was written with the duties and roles of PUBCOM in mind, as stated by the UP AME Constitution of 2004:

The PUBLICTY COMMITTEE (PUBCOM) shall:

i. Be in-charge of all publicity work of the organization.
ii. Release statements concerning organization policies and official stand on issues as the need arises, with the approval of the GA.
iii. Devise and enforce rules and regulations regarding the cleanliness and maintenance of the tambayan and its immediate vicinity.

With this, I begin my (kinda long but please read!) SPOA.

( [AMElections] SPOA: For the Publicity Committe - Tiffany San Juan )


I am available for questions, inquiries, violent reactions and et cetera. Please comment to this LJ post with any comments you have, and I will try my best to get back to you asap. (All comments are screened!) I am also available through Yahoo! Messenger by this ID: psychedelic_aya

Thank you for reading, and good luck this coming AMElections! I sincerely hope to defeat Mr. Abstain and get the 50%+1 votes needed in order to become PUBCOM head so that I can make these dreams come true~ o/

Just finished watching the Oscar's today!

( so I take off my top hat )


This is probably my first time watching the Academy Awards from start to finish (except well--see the edits below), and I must say it was kinda fun! :3 Only I'd rather do without all those commercials. (Then again, wouldn't we all?)


The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was only shown for like, a split second -- in the short presentation of Action Movies of 2008. Is Narnia even supposed to be in that category? ;o; Oh well, I got my William Moseley swinging a sword fix during that split second, so...


Congratulations to all the winners~ ;D

---

Since I spent most -- or all -- of my morning watching the Oscar's, I vowed that my afternoon would be dedicated to the one thing I'd rather not dedicate an afternoon to:

School Work for the Week.

Things to do:
1) Tuesday [FA] FAGEtc layouting
2) Tuesday [Bio] Lab Exam #3
3) Wednesday [Socio] Reporting: Adolescent Reproductive Health (RH Bill, etc)
4) Friday [Socio] Debate
5) Saturday [Math] Exam #3


Hell week, much?

Thank goodness that today was declared a holiday, though; else my Math Exam of Doom, Third Edition would have been held today. Phew~

---

* On what Oscar hosts said: this is not verbatim, of course; despite the lag being only a few hours my brain does not remember the exact words said anymore. And I'm too lazy to Google. orz


[EDIT 01] The Best Animated Film still exists! I think there was something wrong with the channel I was watching on or maybe I just missed it--probably on the time I went to take a bath? But that was during the Best Original Score... oh anyway. alabapoy has kindly corrected me that Wall-E did win an award! :3 Thanks, Pyorfaggot!

[EDIT 02] alabapoy confirmed that the Best Animated Film award DID happen right after the Best Original Score award--WHICH IS WHEN I TOOK THE LIBERTY TO BATHE. But I was so quick--I ONLY TOOK SECONDS!!! (Well, no. Give or take a few minutes?) ;o; I didn't want to miss anything, yet it seems I missed what I was looking forward to the most. WHY.

BELATED
HAPPY VALENTINES!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I know the lateness is... beyond itself. But hey, the thought counts right?

---

Because y'all deserve that and I missed you guys terribly!


It's my first revival post for the year 2009, and I know it probably won't be the last (as we all know school and rl hates our precious parallel universe that is the internet), but here I am, trying hard again to survive. I won't allow my paid account go to waste anymore (it already rotted away with uselessness for about a month; and that, I believe, is enough).

I couldn't go LJ-ing prior to this, though, due to several annoying reasons:

1) Academics (it'll never end)
2) I got food-poisoned (but that was only for a week -- it was tapsilog, of all things)
3) I reformatted my computer (for a fresh start during the new year -- and really, Quicktime was giving me hell)
4) I reformatted it again (this time it was iTunes)
5) I deleted all my data and "wrote zeros to my disk" (I think its computer lingo for "YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANY DATA BACK, no, seriously.")
6) I reformatted it again (this time it was the WHOLE SYSTEM HANGING ON ME)
7) ...Left4Dead ate my brain (zooombies, no -- seriously -- they do eat brains)

As you can see from 3-6, I went through quite some time trying to fix my baby (aka AYUMU -- aka Spoiled White Macbook of Aya who runs on Tiger but wants to run on Leopard). I refused to bring it to the hospital (iStore, wherever) because I knew, as I was its mother, that I could fix it on my own until further symptoms arose. Actually I'm saving for a PS3 so I didn't want to spend as much as possible.

Anyway, the toil is finally over, and my precious darling is finally up and working again! Although it did crash a few times (thrice if you want details), but I identified the problem and saw to it that it wouldn't be a bother for now. So, here we are! All seems well; and as you can see, I can write a lengthy entry without any distractions.


Now, since that rant is done and now a part of yesterdays-entries-to-be, let me get back to the reason of why I thought of posting at my beloved personal journal in the first place. What other reason could there be but: to see how things were going at this side of the virtual world.

So, how are you guys? ;3

I know I probably missed a terrible lot, so I'm dying to hear from all of you~ o/


P.S HAS ANYBODY WATCHED CLANNAD AFTER STORY 18? I--I cried so much. Ushio! *o*

P.P.S Neighbor next door was battling my J-POP sound system! Turned volume higher as a sign of fighting back. BANZAI \o/

I'm not going to last a week with this going on, admittedly.

Every night is almost just like every other night ever since (first in a gap of months, then every few weeks, then every other day; but not everyday, I like to think I'm a little stronger than that). My head is fine but everything else is not; its kind of frustrating. My eyes are suffering the most expense. I need my glasses again to concentrate in class, but unfortunately they're a tad bit lost and I don't know if I should spend the rest of my early morning looking for them.


It just makes me sad that in the entirety of it all---

--nevermind.

What do I say now?

---

Anyway, I'm sure my flist is tired of hearing me emo ;____; sorry guys, but ILU all just so you know, and thank you very much. It means a lot, even just the small comment of "hug!" and things like that. :3 Thank you! I'll do my best not to make these kinds of posts, er, in the very near future.

Just, thank you.

:3

---

Uho!

I know I've asked so much from you guys, but if you all wouldn't mind, I need srs cosplay help. I'm going to cosplay Shirley Fenette from Code Geass with a group (composing of the usual people I <3).

( the shades of brown and orange make my head ache )

If you have other wig suggestions than the ones I found I'd love to see them, too.

Uhuhu I'm really sorry for taking up your time, but thank you, everyone!

---

Due to the lack of a Shirley wig I had to cosplay Milly Ashford instead during our org's con last November 8, 2008: AME 8TH AVENUE: Taking the Streets of Harajuku. I must mention that this "Plan B" could not have been accomplished without avishi's assistance, as it was she who lent me the wig. THANK YOU SO MUCH, dear~

( she wasn't naturally blonde )


In any case, I'll post more pictures soon! (I always seem to say that D: so far I lack Mangaholixxx Pictures, OtakonEK pictures, and now this.) I'll try to do them all at one post.

---

Really,

thanks so much.

I feel like I'm going to lose my mind because it hurts so much.

---

But then I always told myself I'd keep on fighting.

---

I need to remind myself of that.
