I'm suffering the consequences of a stupid and rash decision I made last semester. Ah, screw it. I just have to suck it up and learn from my mistakes. Although it pains me to think that ALL I'm doing is learning and never actually applying those life lessons. Oh well. As my cousin always says, "Deal with it."

I'm going to bed. Good night.

So I'm finally back at my apartment. Last night, I talked to Crisel and Helen and just generally swapped vacation stories. I went to sleep pretty late because I was feeling, well, quite different. I kind of miss my family. No matter how I complained about them, I miss their noisiness, messiness, etc. I wanna go home~

Anyway, my forgetfulness struck again! I forgot to bring my key to my apartment. Argh. And they didn't have a duplicate because I forgot to give it back last time I borrowed it. So what did I do? I hired a locksmith to break into my apartment and had him mold (?) me a new duplicate key. The locksmith (possibly sensing my ditziness) generously gave me two duplicate copies. So now I have four keys, counting the two I keys I forgot to bring.

Ah, first day back here and I already lost 250 Pesos to my stupidity...

I had my PDA (hmmm...what's the term?) masked today. That is, a sticker with designs was used to cover the whole surface of my Palm. It looks nice. Plus, it covered all the scratches.

I think it's time to revive it again!

My cousin lost my SD card when she borrowed it. And because my PDA is next-to-useless without it, I didn't even touch it for months. Then, lucky me, I found an unused SD card (probably from our old camera) somewhere around the house. So, I got a couple of games installed and a LOT of e-books. Yay.

This PDA holds a special place in my heart because it was my first ever gadget. :D Well, gadget worth mentioning, anyway. So I won't ever sell it. No matter how much my cousin bugs me about it.

And since I can't make a post without mentioning hyde or the rest of L'Arc...

It seems that the Fourth Avenue Cafe has found a gossip magazine reporting that hyde and megumi are supposedly living separately (and that hyde's house was worth 2.5 BILLION yen...woah. That's approximately Php 976,521,894.25*). Actually, I'm more concerned of the fact that I'm concerned of the possibility of the two of them having a divorce. Mainly because it's an indication of a whole new level of obsession for me. And that isn't healthy. :P





Oh, hyde. And it's your son's birthday today, too. Thank goodness that kid's still too young to surf the net. Happy Birthday hyde Jr.~!


* I checked Yahoo! Finance. Hehe. I couldn't resist. He's that rich! Well, that is if the gossip magazine is true...

ARGH! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! My laptop is under attack! By ants! AGAIN!

It's either they've personally waged war against me or someone has been purposely sprinkling cookie crumbs in my temporary desk. I know I haven't been eating within the general vicinity of my laptop. Oh, woe is me.

Now I'm really glad that I bought that little vacuum cleaner.

hyde is probably the only artist I know who gets divorced at least twice a year, if I were to believe the fangirls.

The funny thing about hyde's privacy is that no matter how much he keeps information to himself, he's the one the fans know more about. Or speculate about anyway. Oh, hyde.

Personally, I won't believe it until it comes from some credible source or from the man's mouth himself. Or from his company.

Anyway, I'll just amuse myself with this interview, taken from the Ark. (translated by either Liv or Eleonora)

Awww... that gave me a toothache. And boy, was he ever right when he said he'd get married five years later. :D
 

I forgot to write about this...

Four days ago, I found an ant crawling in my laptop...followed by another ant...and another. But I wasn't really alarmed. I was just quite angry. Honestly, it never occurred to me that those ants might have been brought by the fact that I sometimes eat in front of my laptop. I just vacuumed them off the face of the earth, or in this case, off the face of my laptop. Does my laptop even have a face? Anyway, the important thing was that tiny USB vacuum that I forced my mom to buy finally served its purpose.

And then, two days ago, I discovered that the ants finally invaded the INSIDE of my laptop. I panicked. BECAUSE THEY WERE COMING OUT OF THE USB PORTS! I turned on my laptop and I almost cried when my mouse pad wouldn't work. I know I always complained about how unbelievably outdated my laptop is, but I still love it to bits. (Plus the warranty expired last July so I won't get it fixed for free anymore)

Well, I forced my dad to do something about it. I know it wasn't the smartest idea, but I was desperate. Who knew what those ants were doing inside my laptop? They might have been building colonies! After we got all the screws loose, the laptop still wouldn't pry open so my dad gave up. He screwed it again, left me and ate breakfast.

He told me to take it to the shop and said that's what I got for eating in front of my laptop. But since I didn't have the funds to have it cleaned by a 'professional', I just didn't turn on my USB fan and left the ants to get fried inside. After a few hours, I pronounced my laptop ant-free.

Well, I just noticed that my dad turned one of the screws pretty hard. Now it looks like my laptop has a zit. It almost poked though. ARGH.

Anyway, my mouse pad wasn't really broken. For some reason, it got disabled. Hah. Silly me.



EDIT: Not my mousepad but the -touch- pad. Super silly me. :D

My month-long vacation is about to come to an end.

I had so many plans! And none of them came to fruition. I was planning to:

a. finally learn how to drive
b. learn how to use Photoshop
c. learn how to make Flash animations
d. learn how to build a website
e. finish the geography modules that my mom has been bugging me about since time immemorial
f. finish watching the Five Live Archives
g. and a whole bunch of other things I can't seem to remember right now

Well, my mom isn't spitting fire anymore. So I kind of want to take back my wish of seeing a swift end to my vacation. :( Ah, it just goes to show that one should be careful with what one wishes for.

My cousins spent the night here. So, they surfed the net and I watched L'Arc videos until 3 in the morning. *sigh* They're telling me I'm addicted/obsessed. Well, what can I say? hyde IS addicting. :D (Random: woah. It might be that I'm watching way too much of L'Arc but I finally found out what those weird scale-looking thingies on tetchan's mic stand were. They're guitar/bass picks!)

I slept the whole day today. Just woke up to have dinner and ice cream. Mmmm... ice cream...

So, after I spent the better half of the day yesterday cleaning, it's back to looking like a dump. Oh my aching back. *glares at Yani and Raphael*

My dad and mom are A-OK, it seems. And my brother wasn't really mad at my mom anymore! They actually had kissed/rubbed noses and made up yesterday morning before I even woke up. The traitor!

Yes. For some reason, my mom still isn't talking to me. WTF. I didn't even do anything wrong.

I can't believe I'm actually saying this but, when is vacation going to end??? D:

Yesterday, I drove my sister nuts by giving her the silent treatment. :D She said she was telling my mom about it (whom I may or may not be in good terms with). She did things to piss me off: kissing me on the cheeks with her wet lips (ewww...), running her fingers across the mouse pad while I was playing The Sims, swishing her hair around so it'd hit me in the face, and generally making a nuisance out of herself.

But through it all, I did not speak a word or even acknowledge her presence.

She told my dad, who then asked me (in mock anger) why I was doing it. And then I told him. It was a social experiment. :D But really, I was just messing around.

Another person that I was ignoring was my mom. Not that I was doing it on purpose, mind you. I just wanted to be out of her way as much as possible. I don't know, but after what happened 3 nights ago, I'm not sure I'd be getting all cuddly anytime soon. And then she asks me what's wrong with me.


Mom: "Why aren't you talking to me?"

Me: "Well...what would I say?"


Hehe. Yeah. I don't know if that counts as talking back since she didn't get mad...So I'll still be wanting that backbone. Anyway, all of them went on a little family trip to Tagaytay. She brought everything. Even the rice cooker (is she doing it on purpose?). And the fridge is practically empty. Good thing my dad gave me some money.


Mom: "Aren't you coming with us?"

Me: "No."

Brat Little Sister: "She's not coming because she's going to throw a party with our cousins."

Me: *thinking* not a party, but close.


I'm not really going to have a party. I'm just going to invite my cousins over for a little sleepover. Hey, I'm not sleeping alone on All Saint's Day...or is it All Soul's Day today?

My brother didn't come with them of course. He's still mad at my mom. Hey! I'm seeing a trend here! First, it was me who my mom got angry with. Then it was my dad. And now it looks like my brother is the flavor of the month! Yay. Who's next, I wonder? Anyway, my brother went to Bataan with his friends for what he calls a 'joy ride'.

I didn't really have anything better to do so I decided to clean the house. And boy, did I clean it or what? And then when my demon spawn little brother and sister come home, it's going to look like the way it was: like a dump. And all my efforts would be for nothing. Bah.

Ah, I'll end it here. I still have to feed the dogs, the bird and the fish. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WE HAD FISH. :\

Just finished watching the PV. OMG. It's so full of crack. Like the song itself. It was fun seeing L'Arc having fun!

Storyline? What storyline? It's about a whole bunch of Santas having fun at "Reindeer" tavern, getting drunk and throwing presents at each other! (Random: I read about a comment saying that a present almost hit hyde --- not almost. It DID hit hyde, but they edited out his reaction. Bummer) And then a kid waking up to see all the Santas having 'fun'. OMG, LIEK, THAT KID IS GONNA BE TRAUMATIZED. FOR LIFE.

A more proper name for this PV would be "Why Santa's cheeks are always blushing and why he laughs all the damn time." Because, seriously, only a drunk person would be those two things at the same time. Woah. I like the way L'Arc's minds work.

But...

But...

WHY THE HECK DID THEY LEAVE YUKI BEHIND?!?!?! They KNEW yukihiro couldn't just stand up and pick up his gigantinormous drum set to follow them inside the tavern!!! WHY??? WHY??? Did he want to leave early to get those fake tattoos off? So, for the latter half of the PV, it's just the other three. Didn't yuki want to be part of teh christmas crack spirit?

And, let's all welcome back hyde's rooster hairdo!!! Yay! So hyde DOES repeat hairstyles...
