The abandoned walking dead post, signatures and Drunken Yapan

More music to listen to.

I just finished the latest issue of The Walking Dead. If you aren't familiar it's an ongoing comic book about a group of people surviving a zombie apocalypse. It sounds like your average zombie story but it isn't. The way they treat their characters and the way they show the evolution of the characters helps make the comic book character seem more 3D. Also, the writers are incredibly skilled at portraying the character's struggles to remain human while surviving in the land of the dead.

I was gonna blog about something but I totally forgot what. Then I abandoned this post for some weeks now.

Now it is a Wednesday night, I should be reading the rest of Kudaman, our assigned Filipino reading. It's a Palawan epic recited by some dude named Usuy. Right about now, I should be getting to the part where he gets wasted on rice wine, then transcends into another level of existence. But no. I'm slacking off. I was lying down just a while ago, thinking about signatures. When I was a kid the first things I had to sign were things like mealcards. No biggie. All you have to do is write your name. It's not like a legit legal document. Then come the documents my dad made me sign. You know you're fucked. Back when the other kids would practice their signatures in their notebooks, you thought, "what the fuck is the point?" Now I'm fucked. My dad was all serious. MAKE SURE YOUR SIGNATURE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE LAST ONE. What the fuck!? WHY??!?! Jesus. How medieval is that?! Verifying the authenticity of a document based on the precision of someone's ballpen etchings!!!

...Okay fine. It's still pretty practical. But jeeeeeezzzz. Why the pressure?! I mean, I was still just a kid! What if my handwriting changed!? What if I felt like I wanted to change it??? There should be a system wherein kids that sign documents register the changes in their signatures. So that the motherfuckers that make us kids sign those motherfucking documents keep up with us.

And that is my rant on signatures.

Also, SOSE night is coming up in a few days.

FUUUUUUUUHUUUUUUUUUUCK YEAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I'll be looking back at this post and thinking about whether it was awesome or not. Last time I went drinking, I thought I was going to die. Perfect timing too. Kudaman's all about getting blasted now. Our teacher, Alvin Yapan, shared stories about his own drunken experiences. He told us about how he and his buddies toured Luzon after graduation. Just before Reality set in. They drank at a beach at La Union and took shot after shot of brandy. They thought it was all good fun 'til the stuff finally took effect. The next thing he knew, he was on his bed and it was morning. He blacked out. When he asked his friends the told him that he got MEGA-wasted that night. He started speaking in Bicolano and everyone thought he was just losing his shit. When they had enough they told him to pack his stuff up. He was very obedient. When he got to his room, he lied down on his banig because he was told to sleep. However, he didn't really sleep. He just lied there with his eyes wide open. Even a flashlight pointed at his face couldn't get him to close them. If I were there I'd be afraid that he just died on me.

Pretty cool story. I love his other stories and lectures. The reviews were right. You WILL learn a lot from Alvin Yapan. I am glad I got him as my teacher.

Anyways time to read Kudaman then dream of being a rockstar.

Trivia Contest and ES has a secret political agenda

Muscle pains all day from weights the day before. Felt awesome.

So this happened today.

Failed to find a link to the Jacobian Cup.

What is the Jacobian Cup? It's a trivia contest that the Ateneo Math Society holds every year as part of its efforts to externalize. Or something. Aimee and I joined and went up against something like 23 teams. We totally made it to the top 10 of the first round. Got eliminated at the second round though. Oh well. It was fun though applying some trivial facts that I thought would be useless. Although, so many religious questions. -___- It wasn't only me that noticed too. Not a single animal trivia question. Bastards.

Also, ES has a political agenda and my teacher knows little about science. At least that's what I'm thinking so far. We took up topics like the energy cycle and for some reason she spend about 5 slides worth of explanation on the same exact thing. I get it animals only take in 10 percent of what the previous animal ate. -___- Also, all the little bits of environmental news my teacher loves to share is bad news. Climate change. Overpopulation. Desert sand going into the Carribean Sea. I am learning nothing new. -__- Why is ES only about bad shit that happens? Gah. I'm probably getting ahead of myself. MAYBE it'll get better... -___- right.

Also, I have to report on cons of the RH bill and report on the impacts of nuclear energy. -___________- fuck. that. shit. bro. Why couldn't she pick the one about the Butaan lizard?! That's mega interesting!!! BIODIVERSITY!!! -___________________- Totally fits within the context of ES!!! GAH. Maybe it has too much non-doomsday related stuff... -___-

Maybe it'll get better. -_-

Anyway, here's the Earth. Enjoy. It's not going away anytime soon. At least not because of man.

11:11 is too fucking GHAY, Condos and Moonleaf politics (lots of other stuff too)

So yesterday was 11/11/11. Eh. Big deal.

It was a nice day though. Ask Aimee. That post wasn't really about 11/11. It was about today. Which sort of defeats the purpose of blogging about today. I'll do it anyway. (My blog is better)


To start my day off, I totally missed NSTP. Fucking great. This was the re-orientation day where we needed to be reintroduced to the rules of NSTP just in case we forgot them already. I set my alarm for 6:30 am and ended up waking up at 9:27 am. Whatever. NSTP can suck it. If you guys are unfamiliar, it means that you wake up early on Saturdays just to do some sort of health education thing for kids at Bagong Silang. I can appreciate the potential for something really good. I just don't think we are doing it the best way that we can. Teaching these kids about really basic stuff (such as washing your hands or covering your mouth after sneezing) isn't going to do much unless we continually drill these ideas into their little fucking minds. The parents aren't very helpful either. Always littering all over the fucking place. It would be cool to teach the parents too but according to previous batches, they never listen. So that's NSTP for you. Maybe that's the point, to get us all mad at its inefficiency so that we get to do more after we graduate.

Later on today though, I talked to my bio lab teacher Sir Mesh about his thoughts on organics. A little surprisingly, he was for it. I guess I was surprised because I was already so biased towards organics being a bad thing. I believe that going backwards to old school farming techniques will be the downfall of man. However, I could be wrong. I'll talk to him about it some more next time. Maybe blog about it. Or rage about it. Especially in ES class. Shit. Fuuuhuuucking ES class. We're required to take an ES class for my course. So far. It's fucking bananas. How general is ES class. Based on the syllabus and the introduction given in class, a lot of it is about the problems and damage people are doing to the planet. It seems like nothing new. Sort of like all the shit you get from doomsayers about global warming or pollution or plastic. It's not that I don't believe that those things could be problems I just hate that people eat it all up anyway without really researching and looking at the problem from all angles. I hope ES class will do this for us. I hope it will present these issues and allow us to consider and analyze them in ways that mainstream media does not want us to do.

Back to the stuff for the day, I went with Aimee to check out a potential condo type living situation at Berkley. I waited by Savemore and I couldn't help thinking about how fucking evil SM is. The want to control EVERYTHING. Our Filipino teacher, the legendary Alvin Yapan, talking about how SM is trying to PENETRATE (I mean this in the harshest and most sexual way possible) the Philippine film industry. According to him, they're planning to produce films in spite of their current role as distributors. This creates the opportunity for SM to monopolize the audiences that go into their malls. They want their movies to be the ONLY MOVIES YOU WATCH. The implications are staggering. His hope is that the Aquino administration has the balls to put a stop to this potential threat to Filipino films. America made it illegal for distributors to be producers. Hopefully we can do the same.

Gah. More sidetrackedness.

So. We went into the lobby and sat down on the world's most comfortable sofa. Really soft. It was also nice and cool inside. Smelled really clean (AND EVIL). So then we met the guy and he showed us the unit. It looked smaller than the one that the Berkley guys were showing us. It was also incredibly hot in there. The sun was facing the room during the hottest part of the day. If you use this room, you need a real good aircon to go with it. It is like a greenhouse in there without it. If you keep any pets in there, they will DIE from heatstroke unless you leave the aircon on. Even then, I think the room might still be hot. I wouldn't take it. Or maybe I'm just thinking that cause there weren't any curtains to keep out the sun. Might be cooler then.

Next part of the day.

We went to mindmovers. Bought cell biology books. There.

Then we got milk tea at Moonleaf. I ordered a (fine, it's delicious...) Caramel Milk Tea. Then Aimee and I sat down in front of the freedom wall that was full of Post-It's. A lot of them were GHAYYY. Like high schooler noobs going "Wanted: Prom Date ;))". GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH. FUCK YOU NOOB!!! I don't get it. Why the fuck would people draw sideways emoticons when they are not bound by the symbols on the keys that are available to them?! Holy shit. Stupid shit. None of the posts were very clever or anything. Just stupid shit like "Something something was here. 11:11" Fuuuuhuuuuuuuuuck meeeeeeeeee. That is why I got so absorbed in my posting of shit I was raging about. Lots of those things went like "SM is an evil corporation!" or "Legalize gay marriage!" However, I didn't go all buttfuck rebel on them. I did next level up Aimee's long cat.

pre-leveled up

leveled up

I did also make a few more...

Both of them were mine.

I hope you can see the humor in this. :D

So that was most of my day. I bought some Ilocos Empanada for my mom and grandma on the way home. On which, I triked and walked.

Here's a some photos you may have missed.

Check out the size of the river beside the house near mine. Shot during Pedring.

Made a candle out of water, vegetable oil and  paper towel.

Aimee with a butterfly at Ilocos.

Me with a parrot and a lame pirate gimmick.

Aimee with a parrot. n_n

A sketch of Jules' face.

A shrimp we dissected and sketched.

The soap I made for Chem. Packaging designed by me.

Yeah. You watch this now. n_n

I should blog more, Last night of sort of sembreak, Listening to Midnight Rider, Gay snakes

Listen to this, fool.

Discovered that song thanks to Rob Zombie's movie: The Devil's Rejects.

"I am the Devil...and I do the Devil's work."

I highly recommend it.

Anyways, I was just going through the past entries on my blog and I decided that I should try to post more often this sem. It felt nice looking back and being reminded of my thoughts. I live so much in the present that I forget all about the past. That was another thing I learned from the Walking Dead. A comic I just caught up with recently. Actually, I'm still pretty behind. It's November and I'm at the August issue. For those of you that don't know the graphic novel, you definitely should check it out. More people will probably be more familiar with the television series. No problem. It is very very good. They took characters from the series and made them more interesting and 3D. Literally. LOL.

Another thing I realized in my past entries: I sounded like a fucking girl. That's a lot, Aimee. That's what you get when your only prior blog experience came from a cutesy blogging girl. Or maybe. I really do just sound like a girl. Or maybe all people that blog sound like girls.

I forgot to mention previously that I've just created my Formspring account. Leaving me open to anonymous attack. Something that a certain anonymous asshole already has done. Ah well. The bastard's already been shooed away.

Deep breaths.

So here comes the second sem. Second sem of second year. What has changed? Hopefully a lot more this sem. I gotta grab this bull by the horns. That means getting a notebook. I was stupid enough last sem not to buy one. The fuck. Thank God I made it.

This sem also marks the last chance I have of thinking about shifting. I'm leaning more towards a no now. I wonder if this decision will affect me positively or negatively...

My paragraphs are becoming shorter.

Hey I still don't know where my classes are. I'll go check.

Fuck I'll have a hard time sleeping later. My regular bedtime is 3am. Fuck.

I've also tried to do a nanowrimo thing... Eh...

*grunt*

Here's a gay snake.

Sembreak Almost Over and I became nocturnal.

As the title suggests, Sembreak is almost over. Classes will resume on the 8th. Also, I have become nocturnal. Sleeping late has pushed my bed time all the way to 4 in the morning. Hopefully I can quickly readjust to the proper sleep patterns of a college student.

So what was this sembreak about? Mostly internet and movies. Tried to download a lot of the movies that I've been meaning to watch. These are a few.

Annie Hall
The Army of Darkness Trilogy
Let the Right One In
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
The Fly (1986)
The Devil's Rejects (Awesome music)
El Topo (FUCKED UP)
Bunny and the Bull (Awesome awesome awesome)

Throw in some Always Sunny in Philadelphia there and some community and a couple of episodes of The Walking Dead and that's my sembreak.

What did I learn from watching these movies? For starters, you should watch the trailer before watching the actual movie or at least know what the movie is about. It sucks having to guess where the movie's going when you have no idea as to what it's all about. Let the Right One In was supposed to be like maybe a romance or a drama. Then it had fuckin' vampires. Good movie though. :D

Also, I have rekindled my love for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Sigh. Yeah I'm part of the cult following. I guess they just really grew into me because of my habit of always ending my day with an old episode. They're like my family.

Loser. (Capinpuyan, 2011)

u_u

Whatever. Your loss! The series is fuckin' awesome.Especially the latest season. They really turned it up a notch! Fuckin' A. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rENwEiBC_E

Aside from those things though here's another list of things I did.

1. Went trick or treating in spite of my age. u_u Pretty fucking embarassing. Except for my fucking Orgy mask. (Always Sunny reference. I have never participated in an orgy.)

What is the password?

2. Boned up on my Horror Cult Classics thanks to James the Nintendo Nerd. That's where I got the idea to download The Fly and the Army of Darkness trilogy. I highly recommend that you watch his reviews. Fun and horizon-broadening. n_n

3. Did a gay VTR. Don't ask.

4. Missed a lot of breakfasts due to oversleeping.

5. Bought one new shirt. :D u____u

6. Finally played a Nancy Drew game. -_______-

7. -_______- Used this smiley too much.

8. Waited impatiently for something that isn't mine. u________u

9. Acted for a high school student in a TD music video. -____-

Yeah. So that's sembreak. Which leads us to...

THE NEW SEMESTER!!!

God. That's the halfway mark of my college life. Almost. Thanks to the fact that I passed chem last sem I only have 1 more science subject to care about. After that it's all non-science and NON-THEO!!! WOOHOO!

I'm gonna try to take advantage of this. Gotta pull  up my grades to meet that QPI. The first step in achieving this would be to properly gear up by buying the right supplies. That means an actual notebook. Something that I did not have last sem. HAHAHAHAHA!!! Awesome shit.

Also coming up this sem is my totally difficult PE. Weights. Hopefully I don't shatter my arms and legs. -_-

So. I think that's about it. At least all that I can think of.

Yeah.
