My Final Fantasy
by: ~Falany

"You are in every move I make
you, in every step I take
you killed my hopes, but filled my my dream
you are the thing that's hurting me."

"You are the last thing I decide
to never lose out of my mind
you are the first thing I can see
when sleep comes washing over me."

"You are the cruelty of my life
stabbing my heart without a knife
I know that you're not meant for me
even though I long you to be."

"Your voice has never left my ears
your touch is what I hold the dearest
you are the one I want with me
you are my final fantasy."

Another three day "Vacation", where I tried to make sense of the Software I'm developing for the thesis. Also, I'm supposed to pass three chapters by the end of the week. Yes, I know it's supposed to be one week per chapter, but it seems that the vacation-days count. I know, we're very VERY late, but I can't do this alone. Darn it, why the hell am I the one doing all this crap? Arrgh, my head hurts, my fingers are kinda numb, and I want to eat something. I also want to play Lineage, and get back to working on the WebComic, which is currently on hold because of our thesis.

Btw, next saturday is the celebration of my brother's birthday. The saturday after that is the early celebration of my birthday, which is would probably degenerate to a drinking session here at the house. At the actual date of my birthday, Joy has planned a three day hotel-stay in order to attend at the Y4IT Seminars. Three days of seminars, while living at a hotel...would be kinda nice...if Mam Rebong approves of it. After that, the following saturday, I'm planning to date my lovely bes. I'm really missing her right now... Anyways, let's skip to october: A programming contest is scheduled, and I'm apparently one of the contestants. Surprise, Surprise. Those events aside, I think my thesis will fill up most of my free time.

Darn it, I have to get back on creating my chapter 3... so until next monday, Ciao for now.

The poem is for a certain attractive someone. I'm still curious, If you're wondering :) Hahaha

Five whole freakin' days of freedom from Letran - from thursday up to today (monday). A vacation? Hardly. My PC's acting up again, and it's fairly hard to get it running, and since I'm reviewing a number of things (in programming), it made my "vacation" dotted with headaches. Anyway, here's a quick rundown of what happened:

- My Ichigo 100% download was completed, and I'm in the middle of watching the OAVs.
- Our thesis is still on the works, I need to finish the chapter 2 - four articles left plus the synthesis.
- Found myself a new MMORPG - Lineage 2, Revenge Private Server. This one's free.
- I'm enjoying my new 'discovery': www.tun3r.com <-- Internet Radio roxx0rz! Hehehe
- We're four days away from the grand opening of Enkwentro, the first tagalog webcomic.
- Planeswalkers. 'nuff said.

Aside from those, I have to get my router stabilized, my mouse is moving on its own and I think my hard disk is really near its breaking point. If not my hard disk, then my memory. Darn it. PC problems, Money Problems, Thesis Problems, Real life Problems... I need a break. A real break.

So, I'm going to have a pretty huge project with Austin (A fellow tropa). Austin is a Comic Artist, and I'm an avid WebComic fan, so I thought, why not make our own webcomic? Hehehe, I've got some of the preps pinned down, and I'm finalizing a bit more, but right now - I'm commenting everyone I know at Friendster. Not sure why though... I'm inspired? I didn't see anyone of note this day, but still, I have a very good feeling today...err, tonight I mean.

This week, I just discovered that Granado Espada is going pay-to-play. Which translates to goodbye and good luck, GE. I'm not shelling any money for anything right now, and I'm actually looking for freelance jobs and stuff for extra cash. I'm not sure why I'm saving (and looking for) cash, but I guess I'm expecting as huge drain on resources coming on...and I don't think it's our thesis. Speaking of Thesis, we failed to submit our Related Literature on time, and we'd probably pass it this wednesday, meaning a -3% deduction on our grade. *sigh* I guess it can't be helped...

I guess that's that. Wait for the opening of our WebComic! ^^ Hehehe

I’m really busy. Thesis. Granado Espada. More Thesis. I hate my life right now. You can probably guess what this blog post is going to be about… *sigh* so, first things first:

Hobbies
Yup, you guessed it. I no longer play Magic: the Gathering. Well, I do, but I’m no longer spending any money to buy me some cards. I’m also going to stop being a Dungeon Master for a while, which means that my budget for RPGs are also nil - Both for Pen and Paper and for Online Games. I’m officially going into Hermit Mode, and dropping almost all of my previous hobbies. The only things I’m keeping are this blog, a twitter, and my account at Granado Espada – all of which are completely and absolutely free.

Blog
I like this blog, so I’m keeping it even though I have finally secured the blogspot URL that I want. I’ll try to update every Monday for the episodes (Yes, I know I’m goddamn lazy sometimes, but crazy schedules make crazy people y’know), and try to keep the other articles moving along. Right now, I’ve got a Life Article in the works, an OL_RPG and an RL_RPG in the drawing board (err, word processor?) and a Literature Post in my mind. Oh, and since I’m planning things, I’ll try to squeeze in an Anime post.

Twitter
I’m going to start tweeting. I’m not sure why, but I think it will help me from getting distracted from what I’m supposed to do.

Granado Espada
GE is a massively multiplayer online role playing game which garnered a lot of awards before going beta. And since I took the time to download its bulk (3.6gb), I might as well play it right? But kidding aside, it’s really engaging and fun to play. I’m currently at level 36 and the level grinding ain’t so tough, so I’m going to stick to this game. Note: This is the only game (aside from casual Magic) that I’m playing right now. Something’s freakin’ wrong with me.

Magic: the Gathering
I just sold almost all of my magic cards. Well, those with value at least. So, it’s not possible for me to create a competitive deck right now without the help of proxies, friends or a large wad of money. ‘nuff said.

Real Life RPG (RL_RPG)
I spent quite a lot of time on a few of the group’s adventures, and I’m kindof disappointed at what happened. First the nWoD campaign was so damn slow that a hastily thought up Dungeons & Dragons session became the main campaign. The Eberron Campaign, on the other hand, was too damn unstable and unbalanced for some of the characters, and the D&D Heroes of Battle (Mages Vs. Psions) went downhill fast because of lack of roleplaying and an absurd amount of things I (as a Dungeon Master) have to track. The Star Wars campaign didn’t even get off the launch pad after I spent quite a lot of money at the book and at the battle grid. Not to mention the amount of time and effort I put in creating these campaigns. So, final verdict: I’m temporarily putting my DMing days on hold. RL_RPGs are now officially on a hiatus.

Thesis
Ah, my favorite subject. Shit. So, we’re going to pass the Data Request Letter tomorrow (hopefully) to mam ella, and start compiling Chapter 2:Review of Related Literature afterwards. Since that is due this Saturday, I expect a rather lengthy session with Mam Alon this friday (just like the day before the submission of the topic proposal, where we stayed on campus until 10:00pm). Those things aside, I’m doing fairly well at ASP.NET and Visual Basic .NET, although I’m already two weeks behind my planned software development chart. Yes, even after all these cramming; I’m still two freaking weeks behind my schedule. Crap.

Hermit Mode
After all is said and done, I’m officially deleting my rather bleak gaming existence and going all out on my thesis and a few distractions. I have to finish my thesis, and it has to be the best there is – Software, Documentation and Research Paper.

Girls
…I’ve hated Friendster since 04/2005…
