I slaved over my Hong Kong Recap post but in the end this came out first. Hahaha.

I'm going to be spamming all my online journal with ads so be ready, okay? ;D

a not-so-deserved freedom

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 23:45:22 GMT

So I probably did very, very crappily this semester -- but hey, what the heck. What's done is done and there's no going back. I have a lot of regrets, because I knew I could've done something to make my grades (life in general) better yet I still did nil. Still, I'd like to think I'm past the point of crying over whatever I lost or could've had because there's no turning back time. Whatever the result is, I probably deserved it.

So if in some case I fall, well, at least I know its my fault this time around.

Well once you fall there's no way but to go up again, right?

It's just kind of sad that I ruined the streak I had going. This semester really made me lose my momentum. I feel so lost now.

But you know what, I think there's a cure to that. And that is --

some good rest and

HONG KONG!

---

Excuse my priorities.

I don't deserve this trip to Hong Kong, I know, but I feel like I'm going to be a wreck without it. This semester has been so bad (my worst, or second worse, depends on the way you look at it) that if there was no silver lining at the end of it I'd probably just start moping. And being weepy, more so than usual.

And so I thank my parents and love them for giving me this opportunity to go to a foreign country with my friends. Its not a common experience and I'll be sure to treasure it!

---

Plus with this I'll feel guilty if I don't do anything about my internal crazy problems the moment I come back.

So --

with that

I promise I'll do better next semester!

And that's a promise to myself. I have to work!

---

Moping aside,

ITS SEMESTRAL BREAAAAAAAAAAK

Oh yeah this means I get to clean my room, right? Yay! (Don't look at me like that, its my favorite household activity.)

---

VOCALOIIIIIID

This post is so random, I swear. Well I'll make the Vocaloid post some other time because I'll probably still be addicted by tomorrow. But guh Len makes me kgjdlsf. I think his songs are my favorite for now.

Ru ri ra ra

regrets come last

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:16:28 GMT

This really is the worst semester of my life.

dklfjsjfk I hate this. I want to be happy enough to greet wuzu in this post without ranting about school life, but fkdsj I feel like I'm being devoured whole by the negative feelings brought upon by today. I can spend all day ranting and raving and cursing to make it go away but it'll probably just creep up behind me and weigh me down 'til I crawl and die.

I can probably put the blame on all sorts of things but in the end I have my faults too and really if it weren't for those faults things might've been better. dlskfjlkf All I want now is to have a good cry and just wallow in my depression and sleep. But I can't even do that because I've got another thing due at 10PM, no extensions.

I seriously just want things to end.

Why must life be so f-ed up at all the wrong moments?

aaaaaaaa

(I'd make the a's longer but it'll look like spam. No, no, this doesn't quite cut what I'm feeling though. Ffffff)

---

On the bright side, happy birthday, wuzu! ♥ I hope your day was well and fine. I'm sorry I wasn't able to stay with you for a long time. I'll make it up to you, okay? Ilu~ stay safe and dry with Takuya-Infinity (are you seriously not changing his name?)!

---

I want to bounce back and not leave a bitter aftertaste so I will say

I NEED FANDOM SDKLFJH

wheeling with the bandwagon

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:43:13 GMT

Joining the trend. CH-CH-CH-CHAIN COMBO!

You are The High Priestess

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

--

I actually also got The Devil, The Magician, and The Star when I changed answers -- but all still valid and truthful. I guess I'm fickle that way? I chose this because I felt that this was the closest to who I really am. (Also The Magician, but then that result would make me look like a trap hahaha.) Anyway, I learned from a certain Sorting Hat that its your choice that makes you who you are. So I chose this.

---

Anyway, I won't make this a long post but I'll take the time to say this before the day ends:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, himitsu_no_hime! Thank you for today. Stay happy~ ;D Ilu!

---

Got an exam tomorrow then on Friday then on Monday then on Tuesday. AND OH A PROJECT DUE TOMORROW -- which I haven't even started. Wew, talk about epic cramming.

Oh well, I'll manage.

heartburn of the lazy kind

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 04:51:58 GMT

[ 12:15 PM ]

So as I ate my bulalo lunch my chest started to hurt. In pangs. And I thought: I am going to die because of eating too much bone marrow my veins are going to clog up and I'll get a stroke and end up dead on the floor. Half of the whole chunk of bone marrow was still there and I considered ignoring it but no, dying so what, at least I was eating something really tasty that melted in my mouth.

I ate it all.

---

So lunch's over and I'm still alive. I should really be typing this paper of mine due in an hour but yeah, its only one page and -- oh alright I'll finish it already ---

[ 12:29 PM ]

Alright I'm done. See? That wasn't so bad. It was a paper about "personal philosophy". Not too hard, considering its all opinion and no research. Plus its only one page. Aaand 1.5 space.

This paper is due at 1PM for a certain class which I am having make-up for at the same time. But I haven't taken a bath yet. And yes, I do not plan on abandoning this post. So I'll finish this then I'll take a bath then I have to do some errands for mom. What time will I arrive in class, I wonder. Luckily my teacher knows my mom makes me do errands when she is not around so I'll just have to text my classmate that I'll arrive at around 2PM due to said reasons and ta-da! All done. What, don't give me that look! That class is until 4PM and the major event of the day would be just computing grades, anyway. Oh, and reading our personal philosophies. Mmm.

Don't ask me why I didn't do my errands earlier. Well, its partly because I didn't do my paper yet. And why didn't I do my paper earlier? Weeell...

---

I wrote and AstralxAera [TF] fanfic for sacla during the height of Ketsana because she lived in Cainta, and me and kyoy thought she was swimming in the river Styx or on bunking out on her rooftop. I thought their house flooded, so in the blur of worry I made her a fanfic to make her feel better.

Well, their house didn't flood after all, which is a good thing. Still, as I love her, I finished the fanfic. I haven't written in a long time, and I've got tons of unfinished/unposted fanfics rotting away somewhere in my drive, but I plan to at least finish some (like that AkiraxSaki [Eden of the East] one I'm fond of) and get them up at renaissance_era.

Just so you know, the fic is about Astral and Aera in a very flooded Reoda. They experience what Sacla didn't -- that is: swimming in a raging flood river, seeking shelter above a roof, and well, being together with the person you least expect to be with in a situation like that. It's rather sad, really; except its Astral and Aera. So its a little snarky. And perverted. Well, maybe it depends on how you look at it.

Kyoy told me I should title it "Ondoy" ("Ketsana") and I'm seriously thinking of considering it.

I've also been working on [TF], believe it or not (Kyoy would probably say 'not', lol ilu, but really I am!), but in a really slow pace. My writing style and mood changes so much that I'm having a hard time keeping it consistent. I guess that just proves how much an amateur I still am -- I'm not confident with the way I write yet so I keep on changing styles. Its rather disheartening, since I want to write steadily, but at the same time I'm having a good time experimenting. Still, I want to finish [TF]. I don't think I can die peacefully from that excessive bone marrow intake unless I do.

---

[ 12:45 PM ]

Remember how I said my class was at 1PM? Well I haven't proceeded with my bath yet and my mom's errands are still hanging in the air.

I think this is my cue to go.

But hey, at least I posted, right?

---

[EDIT 01] Officially, this post ended at 12:53PM and not at 12:45PM. Yes, I still haven't taken a bath. La la la.

gasping for air

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 07:30:56 GMT

Wow, its been ages.

It's not a question, its a statement. I haven't typed the url to this journal in months. Realizing this, I asked myself: where has my life gone? I didn't even notice that I was in an unannounced hiatus for so long. Still, despite my on-off periods of absence, I have no intention of deleting this journal. My updates might be sporadic and random, but I'm not leaving my LJ alone. I have no intention of leaving you guys alone. I don't even know if any of you are still interested in getting updates from this journal. If you are, I love you. If you aren't, I still love you -- and please forgive me for the spam.

Really. How I wish I could visit the internet like I used to.

But anyway, on to life-updates.

I don't know how to explain it, but recently, my academic life has gone dreary. In case some of you might not know: I shifted to another course this year. I used to major in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, but now I'm in Community Nutrition (or just Nutrition, because I still believe the word "community" is just there because of UP). Its still a pre-med course, and the big difference is (besides the majors) the amount of Math. Sure, higher Bio subjects aren't required, but my adviser says I can always take them when I want to.

I shifted for several reasons, most that I won't take the time to explain as it would just bore you. Anyway, CN is a great course; I'm having lots of fun so far -- the learnings are useful, I've made good friends, and the teachers are very friendly. Of course I miss my MBB blockmates, and they'll probably always hold a special place in that memory box behind my head, but hey, I'm doing okay now.

In general, at least.

As I said -- recently, my academic life has gone dreary. Simply put: this has not been a very good semester. The bigger picture seems to agree with me (with all the suspension of classes happening -- H1N1, Typhoon Ketsana "Ondoy" and Super Typhoon Parma "Pepeng", etc) -- schedules have been ruined, people have died, and the country is generally in a state of calamity. On the smaller, my-own-world scale -- well, let's just say my life at school is a disaster, too. It's not grades (well maybe except for one subject -- my arch nemesis, Chemistry), but its more of... well, school in general. I've had my unguarded moments -- sometimes I want to cry, sometimes I don't... well really most of the time when I feel it kicking in I just sleep in the car. Its really hard to explain what I'm feeling, but at least I know its not good.

I think its quarter-life crisis. I am turning twenty after all. Or maybe, as Kyoy and Ria like to put it: I'm just being hormonal and weepy. Whatever it is, I feel it'll go away when the semester ends. Hopefully.

---

As for what happened during the Ketsana Saturday of Doom, well, I was at school at the time. Luckily I had Vivi-kun (that's my dad's Honda CRV, which I drive 90% of the time nowadays) or else me and wuzu would probably have been drenched. We were stuck in UP for 5 hours or so because of the floods. Driving around, we saw everything in our area -- and I have to say it was like THE END OF THE WORLD. Like a scene straight out of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" -- or was that "The Happening"?). Everything was gray, and at a standstill. It was like we were all just waiting for something to swallow us whole.

Another thing I could compare it to would be Suzumiya Haruhi's closed space. But yeah, that would be too dorky of me. ~~(Seriously though, it was one of the first things that came into my mind).~~

Anyway.

I'm happy to say that none of my relatives or friends got severely hurt. Flooded, yes; but really people are more important than things and I'm just grateful that everyone's fine.

---

I spent the week after Ketsana volunteering here at Camp Aguinaldo. My choirmates, neighbors and friends came to help out too. We packed relief goods, arranged clothes, delivered plastics... there were tons of stuff to do, and I'm proud to say we did all we could! My body hurt after since we carried all sorts of heavy loads, but I don't regret anything. Knowing that the volunteering we did could help hundreds of families out there made any kind of hurt worth it.

I'm just bitter tongs08 and jae_esca got to ride the chopper to deliver relief goods. How cool is that, huh? I wanted to ride too but besides the fact that my dad said no, there were no other chopper rides to go on since Super Typhoon Parma came soon after. Bad weather = no chopper take-off, dude.

Now I just kick Nono when he shows me his cellphone vid of the view of Manila from the sky. Talk about rubbing it in, man! Hmph, I'll get my chance too, just you wait!

---

Today is my dad's birthday.

Got him a caricature as a gift! I had it made in Greenhills. I'm not completely satisfied with it, but its pretty much alright and worth the money. Concept: he's playing golf in his camouflage uniform. He's also got a big medal around his neck. Haha, at least its pretty amusing to look at. I hope he likes it!

---

I'm excited for the semester to end. Just two more weeks and it'll be all over, and things will get better. I can feel it.

(Not to mention that me, seikochan, nemurae, sm16 and kyoybb are going to Hong Kong on the 24th! Its probably my most anticipated event of the year! *o* Who wouldn't feel better after that, right?)

C'mon Aya, its the last stretch! Freedom awaits!

---

PS Is that thunder I hear D:

derederedere

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:39:04 GMT

Alright I have like an FR, pre-lab and a reflection paper to finish, but hey if the meme looks fun and you only need to copy-paste it to pimp it, why not right?

❝which 'dere' are you ?❞

I'd love to know what you think. And oh! If you answer this meme too feel free to comment here and link your thread to me. I'd be happy to comment on yours too!

---

Yea yeah back to work, I know. Nyuuur.

[EDIT 01] Okay so that was stupid of me, I forgot to put in the thread lol. Anyway, fixed!

four memes for my four-loving bb

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:21:19 GMT

I'd love to be permanently revived but I also want to be honest, so I'll honestly say that I'm not completely back. I will update from time to time, though, as I have been doing the past... er, months.

Still, it would be great to hear from you guys. You have no ideas how I miss you all! School has chained me to one of its teeth, you see; if I move an inch I'll get crushed and eaten, sliding helplessly down that slimy throat. With all the saliva. And other pitiful students who got eaten. And gastric juice. Wew.

So sad, so sad. I want my peaceful, hermit-like internet life back. Thankfully I'm not too socially-deprived on the rl sphere, but that's only probably thanks to UP AME and the fact that sm16 and kyoy are in the same school as I am. But really. I want the rl/il balance to be the same, like before. I just don't spend too much time on the internet as I used to. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but who cares? I miss cyberspace, period.

And on a related note: several times I've wished that I want to experience highschool again. And to think I spent a time of those four years wishing I was out of it. As they say, regret comes last!

Anyway, enough of the mindless ranting and on to the memes! I do this for kyoy, whom I love and want to make happy. ;D She requested me to do some memes, and so here they are!

MEME 01

List 10 of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, and if they're so inclined, to draw conclusions about you based on the patterns they've spotted.

This is not in order of preference, or anything. Just a random order.

1 ☆ Hirasawa Yui - K-on
2 ☆ Furukawa Nagisa - CLANNAD
3 ☆ Kimihiro Watanuki - xxxHolic
4 ☆ Takizawa Akira - Eden of the East
5 ☆ Narumi Ayumu - Spiral ~Suiri no Kizuna~
6 ☆ Rise Kujikawa - Persona 4
7 ☆ Virginia Maxwell - Wild ARMs 3
8 ☆ Ron Weasley - Harry Potter
9 ☆ Aya Brea - Parasite Eve
10 ☆ Death - Sandman

MEME 02

List the first ten series that come to mind. Your friends will comment with the character from each series that they think you are most like.

1 ☆ K-on!
2 ☆ CLANNAD
3 ☆ Spiral ~Suiri no Kizuna~
4 ☆ Final Fantasy (any)
5 ☆ Wild ARMs (any)
6 ☆ Persona 4
7 ☆ Harry Potter
8 ☆ Haruhi Suzumiya
9 ☆ Detective Conan
10 ☆ Red Garden

MEME 03

Give me a character from any fandom (or from real life lol) you know I am into and I will tell you—
❶ My favorite thing about that character.
❷ My least favorite thing about that character.
❸ One person I would ship them with in their own 'verse.
❹ One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.

And finally,

MEME 04

Give me an imaginary fic title along with a character or pairing and I will write anything from one sentence to a whole fic working back from that title.

I'm afraid I'll only do the first four for meme 04, though, I'm sorry. ;A; I just want to write again, but I don't have enough time to do much. Nyuuur~ I'm sorry.

---

In any case, please do the memes, guys! I miss you guys a lot. I apologize if the post is kind of long, but hey I'll make it up by not posting for a week or two again. ;D Just kidding.

Take care y'all.

I'm off to do ~~read Harry Potter fanfics or something~~ uh, work -- I mean -- now. Seriously!

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 12:54:52 GMT

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?

there goes my laptop

Mon, 18 May 2009 12:39:46 GMT

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

if i cut my skirt by two centimetres, I can fly

Sun, 10 May 2009 20:50:17 GMT

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.

Because seriously. You're down in the dumps, got rejected on a job interview, had gyudon spilled over your skirt, found out said gyudon spilling was intentional, and really, you're in love with your brother-in-law but he's your brother-in-law for a reason -- and that is, he's married to your sister. Then you walk out of that stupid company without any dignity left and feel the whole world is against you, but then AKIRA SHOWS UP WITH HIS AWESOME SCOOTER AND WHISKS YOU AWAY TO THE EDGE OF THE SEA AND YOU CRY AND YOU TALK AND HE KISSES YOU AND TELLS YOU TO COME HOME WITH HIM.

I want to be Saki. ;A;

Okay, so maybe smooth guy Akira Takizawa was taking advantage of the moment, and plainlinux did say "he just wants to take her home" but yeah. I mean Saki's seen him naked anyway (though not intentionally!) and they've been to America together (sort of).

Plus he owns a mall. And has a dog with wings. WHAT KIND OF GUY PLACES PLASTIC WINGS ON HIS DOG.

Akira, apparently.

And that just makes him awesome.

Okay, so on the other hand Oosugi is really pitiful and I seriously don't want to him to die under the hands of Number 11, but sorry dude, you just lost to a guy who's dog has wings. Seriously. You just can't beat that.

(Now I told wuzu (we watched the episode together) to get a scooter (lol yeah random) but I don't think there's any nice sea to whisk away to. Although I do think he's the type of person to put plastic wings on his dog. Or more likely, make his dog wear a plastic armor. You can imagine him doing it. Making it, even. He'd even probably like that.)

Okay, so Eden of the East is really much deeper than all my fangirling above, but I'm sorry, I just couldn't hold it in. :3 The build-up of this episode was just so good, and the feelings just worked their way through me -- so intensely -- without me knowing.

I've never been so involved with an anime that has little episodes to go on before. Well, not like this. I can't wait for it to progress. Here's hoping it'll end as wonderfully as it began. o/

Hee~

it's gonna rain

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 02:03:07 GMT

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

Unfortunately, I had face the downpour without an umbrella. It was like taking a second bath. I arrived at the AME tambayan soaked with wuzu appropriately scolding me for allowing myself to get wet, not telling him that I was umbrella-less, not texting him to go to me, etc. ;o;

I thought that shower in the rain was quite enjoyable -- as it was happening, at least. I used to do it a lot when I was a kid! My mom always said: "Its okay to get wet under the rain as long as you get really wet. If its only a drizzle, then you'll get sick."

My mom's a doctor, you see, so I trusted her. And you know, she was right. I never got sick when I took a bath in pouring rain. Except I forgot that she'd add:

"...Also, you have to dry yourself properly with a towel and take a bath afterwards."

So I followed step one but had no means to follow step two and three. Plus, himitsu_no_hime, who was at the tambayan at the time, reminded me that rain in the city is no longer clean as it used to be.

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.)

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.

I. Publicity
PUBCOM shall be in-charge of all publicity work of the organization and its activities. Proper and quality publicity is necessary for the organization to function for the public and with the public. Materials like flyers or posters not only inform people that we are active and that we have activities in store for them, but it also presents that we, as a special interest organization, are still continuing to uphold our goals to spread the anime and manga love with the greater community.

Now, for the improvement of this organization’s publicity, I will:

A. Utilize the committee’s time properly, for better results

It has come to my attention that most publicity materials (pubmats, for short) are made late, and the common reason is that the committee receives notifications regarding the organization’s events quite late, also. With the help of the EXECOM and the General Assembly, I will make this committee more up-to-date with AME events by: (1) as an EXECOM member, always attending EXECOM meetings (or sending a proxy if I am not available) to know the events the org will particpate in, (2) as well as constantly holding PUBCOM meetings at least two weeks before an event is scheduled to take place.

This way, the committee members will be well-informed of the work they need to do early on. I understand that my members and I are only students and have our own academic schedules, so I make this thrust not only just so that the pubmats will be excellent in quality, but also so that schedules may be set properly and academic needs won’t be compromised by pubmat making, and vice-versa.

B. Have Template Making

I would like the publicity committee to cooperate in making templates of certain common org activities (filmshowings, merch booths, etc) so that these may be at their disposal in times of dire emergency. It is not my intention to compromise creativity for speed* (as templates would look all the same and prevent the former) but there really are times when pubmats are needed “tomorrow” or “right now”, and the committee is ill-informed of the need. Although I am to prevent this by IA of this SPOA, my judgement says a backup plan would not hurt, either.

It should be noted, though, that the use of templates should be the very last resort of the committee when it comes to the making of pubmats.

*Of course, the templates can be made dynamic, and light tweaking may change designs, so as not too look too repetitive. Creativity can still be attained, with the needed speed.

II. Tambayan Maintenance
Under the UP AME Constitution of 2004, the duties regarding tambayan cleanliness lies with PUBCOM, and as it’s head, I should properly facilitate this activity. With this in mind, I present this proposal to the General Assembly:

A. Committee Rotation for Tambayan Clean Up

For every month, a committee will be assigned to clean the tambayan, preferably doing one major clean-up every two weeks (on Fridays is highly recommended). The committee will be required to have at least 50% of its members turn up (unless all other members have a valid excuse, which PUBCOM will re-check through MEMCOM), else be punished by handling the next month’s clean-up duties, as well.

This doesn’t mean that the other people in the tambayan won’t need to clean. It’s a common sickness that if there’s an assigned committee everybody else will leave the duties to that committee alone. This shouldn’t be so. To prevent this and as well as to monitor the assigned committee, I will assign PUBCOM members to be present during the clean-up to encourage all members to participate; and, whenever possible, I will also be physically present to facilitate.

III. Committee Activities

A. Team System

I believe efficiency within the committee can be improved through team systems. This means that the members of PUBCOM, including myself, will be divided into two or three teams, wherein each team is equipped with members that, upon cooperating, are fully capable of presenting a finished product. Then, consultation between teams/members will occur, and editing will still be in order if needed.

The benefits of a team system are many, and not to mention crucial. Not only does it promote cooperation between members, divide work and stress, but it also enables the committee to create several publicity materials at once. I deem this extremely necessary in times wherein several AME activities are happening simultaneously (e.g the first semester: there are fair preparations, filmshowings, ACLE, etc) and due pubmats are needed for all.

B. Training Workshops

To gain more skill and expertise in pubmat making and related fields, PUBCOM will sponsor extensive training workshops for its members, and, later on, for its applicants, as well as for other AME members that are interested. To ensure good quality for this workshop, besides the current PUBCOM members who are capable of handling this kind of event, I will, with the cooperation of ARESCOM, invite some PUBCOM alumni and other possible guests who can teach and tutor the new and old members with techniques relating to: drawing, coloring, layouting, and things of the like that will enable a PUBCOM member to develop his specialty, or even become a more well-rounded individual.

C. Storage of Pubmats (arranging and et cetera), raw files and soft copies

This has already begun this year, thanks to Ms. Hanna Frialde, PUBCOM’s current head (2008-2009), and her reliable members. I would like to ensure the continuation of this project by constantly maintaining the online storage (hosted by mediafire.com) as well as by making it protocol for PUBCOM members to upload finished pubmats there.

A back-up would also be necessary.

D. Committee Projects

I have several committee projects in mind, all for which are for the benefit of the organization, its publicity, and its members. By promoting AME we are not only promoting the organization in itself, but we are showing to the public that there exists a group who love anime and manga enough to create activities and events solely for that love, and are willing to share those ideas they made to the greater anime and manga enthusiasts community.

PUBCOM projects will not only uphold these organization-oriented ideals, but also provide the committee members with a sense of camaraderie with each other – so that they can improve teamwork and learn how to make quality products while still working efficiently within a group.

Some committee projects which I plan to propose are: annual or semestral road painting, online portfolio for pubmats, PUBCOM properties, creation of AME merchendise (planners, fans, button pins, etc.) among others.

E. Inter-Committee Projects

It is always best to keep an organization running with good relations among members and committees. PUBCOM, though understandably given its unique purpose, still cannot function alone. Some activities and events require definite contact with the other committees inside the organization. As PUBCOM head, I will ensure good relations with other committee heads and their members, minimize internal conflict, and promote effectivity through sincere cooperation.

Some inter-committee projects that I plan to propose are:  

1. With ARESCOM - training and assistance concerning website design, online account revival of AME’s DeviantArt account, assistance with the possible project of an organized online portfolio of pubmats, and other PUBCOM activities that may need the help of ARESCOM in terms of external relations (online) and alumni contact

2. With DOCOM - provide training and assistance with the layouting of Kami To Ki

3. With MARCOM – extend assistance and publicity for external activities like the merchandise booth

4. With FINCOM – cooperate in managing the possible AME merchandise PUBCOM might produce through proper pricing, accounting, and related factors

5. With PROPCOM – extend assistance and publicity for external activities like filmshowings and exhibits, cooperate in managing PUBCOM properties (pubmats and others)

6. With MEMCOM – extend assistance and publicity for external activities like the application period

7. With LOGICOM – cooperate and train PUBCOM members to know the needed LOGICOM work for posting pubmats within the university in case the need for that knowledge will arise

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/

and the award goes to

Mon, 23 Feb 2009 08:18:02 GMT

Just finished watching the Oscar's today!

I wasn't too surprised when Slumdog Millionaire won Best Picture -- I was betting on that or The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, because they had, after all, snagged most of the awards related to film pre and post-production. Anyway, congrats to the staff of Slumdog Millionaire! I haven't seen the film myself, but judging at the amount of Oscars they got -- from Sound Mixing to Editing -- it must be something worth watching.

And as my mother said, "This definitely puts India on the map." (Of course, they're already on the map, er, literally -- but this win is sure to bring pride to everybody in the Indian film industry.)

What surprised me was why The Dark Knight had so little nominations. I mean, less than I expected. I thought it was a great film, in all sorts of ways, but I guess that might be just me and my preferences. In any case, the late Heath Ledger won Best Supporting Actor, which I think he deserves after that splendid and and not to mention very horrid performance as Joker.

Heath's family received his Oscar for him, and I think their speech made a lot of people teary-eyed. Including Brad Pitt! And me!

Hugh Jackman was amusing as a host ("I don't exactly have a joke for Brad and Angelina, but I feel compelled to mention them at least five times in this show,"*), and I'd also like to mention the appearances of these people on the stage: Anne Hathaway, Ben Stiller (in a costume to boot), Reese Witherspoon (who made a joke about Ben Stiller), Will Smith, Robert De Niro and many others.

Many others -- re: VANESSA HUDGENS AND ZACK EFRON. I appropriately did this expression D: at their appearance. I mean, I'm not a hater -- if I were to choose between liking them or hating them I'd definitely say I liked them; but wtfudge, Vanessa Hudgens in fishnet stockings.

With Beyonce, too. Strutting her stuff. Wao.

Sean Penn won Best Actor for Milk. I'm not sure what exactly that movie is about, but I'm pretty sure it has gay rights chained to it. I felt proud of Sean Penn for standing up for something he believed in right there at the stage, when he got his Oscar.

As Robert De Niro did say, "How, for so many years, did Sean Penn get all those straight roles?"*

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.

you look like a dead fish that flapped to life

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).

I ordered a wig MONTHS ago but the wig place said it got delayed, then a few months after that they said it never got shipped, then after pestering them some more with my customer rights they said the wig never existed, and so I should just opt for a refund. Wtfudge, right? Anyway, I still love that wig place but I'll never order from them again; they're much better off selling what's on display.

So!

I need a Shirley wig. D: I know should've ordered online months ago but if the wig that I originally ordered came I would've been forced to pay for it, and I didn't want to waste money on buying two wigs for the same character. I have a few choices (from ebay!) already, though; and I've asked some of my friends for help and opinions. But, after seeing some Shirley cosplayers online my mind got confused again.

Ufuuu, help please?

Wig Choices:
1. Pumpkin Orange
2. Copper Brown
3. Copper Brown 2

Some Shirley Reference Images:
1. 01
2. 02
3. 03
4. 04

I know choice 3 is pretty far off from Shirley's hair color but a lot of Shirley cosplayers seem to be using that kind of wig, and some of them looked pretty good. And choice 1 has curls but lol the color was close to one reference image I had; and also, the curls do kind of look pretty. *o* /random shiny distraction

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~

That's not me with the menu, a pen, and an AME 8th Avenue band on my left arm. Of course not.
pic (c) sm16; wig is avishi's

Okay, I look gay and yes I am a fail! Milly but a-at least it was fun?

My post was at the AME 8th Avenue Cafe (aka the best cafe in the world lol) and our theme was Code Geass, thus the need for epic costumes. We had a Lelouch (wuzu), a Suzaku ~~another Lelouch/or maybe a Rivalz~~ (alabapoy) and an Anya (sappherine). We were also supposed to have a C.C (kyoy) but due to epic wig problems (wig problems are a plague, I swear), Kyoy had to postpone her C.C cosplay for another time, so she joined Nigel, Ana-pon and Neil in becoming sexy Harajuku waiters/waitresses.

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.

Three questions:

What have they done to you?

What have I done to you?

What have you done to you?

We'll see, soon.

---

For ten different people (based on the things you want to say to ten different people meme):

1. At some point I thought you didn't care but then I recently found out you did, and I was overjoyed.

2. You've been with me since forever, longer than everyone else, and we disagree a lot but that's how we are, and its just funny, anyway. That's what friends are for.

3. You don't even deserve a spot in this list, but I've already begun writing.

4. If there's one person I want to succeed with all her might and all her dreams, its definitely you. I miss you.

5. Distance never affected us, and you don't know how much that means to me.

6. If I could turn back time I'd have never left you.

7. I have no words except I love you, and that its the most serious thing I've ever said.

8. I was at home with you; I know it'll never happen again. Memories are all that left but they're comforting and warm, and it makes me kind of happy.

9. You have no idea what you're getting into. I may be wrong but either way you probably wouldn't care, so what should I say now?

10. Once upon a time I was so scared but you took care of me, and I want to return the favor. Someday I want to do everything I can for you.

I did learn something one two three sems ago, you know?

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 17:59:47 GMT

Stupid enrollment system is stupid. Screw it, the whole system is stupid.

What the hell happened, right?

AND WELL IF YOU THINK I'M GIVING UP THINK AGAIN! I may have screwed up second sem of last year but because of that I learned something that could never ever be academically taught. So I'm getting that one slot even if it means lining up RIGHT NOW.

You know I just wanted everything to be alright. I guess we all did. I know I can't really say anything much but I think we should all just keep on fighting, whatever that may mean for each of us.

LET'S GO BB!

I know I have been gone for since... forever, but forever is never enough to be gone and so I'm back! (Retarded sense, but just play along, okay?) So indeed, welcome back, psychedelic_aya, ho ho ho! In order to celebrate my return to the only blog I've ever loved, I shall share an epic project! *o*

Thanks ;D!

Both Cake♥Mountain and Cake♫Melody make my heart flutter. I'll definitely miss Hapon class, Ian-sensei, and all my classmates. There's no sem like a Hapon-filled one.

Speaking of semesters, a new one is coming up. Enrollment is beginning, and what. I'm still stuck with my measly FOUR UNITS after FOUR BATCH RUNS. So, okay. I didn't get to enlist properly the first time, never got to enlist the second time, and the third and fourth one were just failures.

I really need subjects. Badly. My only hope seems to be prerog/e-prerog, but I can only get to that on Wednesday.

;___;

And you know, I need subjects but I don't really know where I'm going to shift to anyway.

Mid-life course slash career crisis, much? Yeah.

Here we go again.

Better late than never, y/y?
