In Pursuit of Happiness.


After Level Up LIve 2008, me and some of my friends went to our friend's house and party'd all night. Its nice to have this "get-togethers" every once in a while, seeing new faces, meeting old friends and just practically having a good time. Of course, a party is not complete without videoke (at least our type of party xD!) as usual, i tried my best to sing but ( >_< its crap) i don't have any talent for it. However, it was quite fun to sing as a group. It was crazy, and everyone really enjoyed it (at least our group, the others were just drinking, eating, playing the PS, Wii, Etc etc). O,..,O Well i guess our next EB (EyeBall, meeting) would be sometime around December.

Speaking of December, i could already hear Christmas carols on the radio. Time really does fly by, Next thing you know....its your birthday again =) . Well i decided to practice singing at least once in a while, it doesn't hurt to try ( yeah...my highest score was 72! but seriously i think the mic was busted, everyone gets at least 85+ and im the only one that gets such a low score *sighs* ). Yes, before this month ends im planning to buy Kushiel's Chosen ( I just hope that Powerbooks and National has it already) I've been waiting for a month now. Aside from working on a few stuff/part time and practically going to start working soon, im just enjoying my last few days doing stuff that i haven't done for quite some time (like singing).

Everyone should once in a while take it easy and have fun, all work and no play leaves nothing but a stressed out body. Smile more often too, it helps a lot. If you have a pet, take it for a walk or just cuddle it and pet it all day long o_o" well maybe not all day long, but you get what i mean right?

I just Finished watching all the Pokemon movies and finished reading all the manga's in my list.
Reading Kushiel's series and completing all of them is my next agenda.

Well then, I guess thats it for today. I think i'll try to learn how to swim next :3
Have a great Week guys ;) and don't forget to pay your respects to our deceased relatives.
Remember the times when they were still with us, and cherish them for they can never be replaced.

"There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy."

Keep the fires burning...

Its all about Manga :3



Not Mangga/Manga (Pinoy word for Mango ~_~), but Manga (A japanese term that means "comic").


There are generally 2 types of Manga, Shoujo and Shounen.
Shoujo targets girl readers while Shounen targets male readers. Basically Shoujo focuses on romance and other things that is often called mushy ( >_> i like mushy stuff too...), Shounen are more on action or fighting ontheir storyline (Pif typical for guys xD! Mga pare, ok lng ba kayo dyan? :3 ). Knowing all this i still get confused on the types of Manga that i usually read. I started to read manga about hmmm...8-9 Months ago, since then i can't stop :3

I really got hooked, Manga titles? hmmm Naruto, Happy WOrld, Ouran High,Fairy Tail, Mahoraba,Watashi no Messiah Sama,Prince of Tennis, Mahou Sensei Negima (:3 what are u looking at?), The World GOd Only Knows, Mx0 (My all time fave) and a lot more~ a whole lot more.
I also read a lot of books (not manga) novels and the usual stories at least once a week. I make it a point to buy 1 book a week. Mystery, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance? (not my cup of tea) >_>, horror? (i lost track of counting all the dissapointing books out there that are called horror stories. >_< i have not read a book that even comes close to scaring me).

I finished this book a few days ago "Kushiel's Dart" and it has a sequel :3 "Kushiel's Chosen" which i will get sometime on September (Ipon muna unti xD!). I really enjoy reading, may it be books or manga ( Fu fu fu fu) So going back, Manga is one of my fave past time when i finish reading a book. My favorite manga site is www.onemanga.com

Before, i was even sarcastic about reading it, i started reading it from left to right (like comics, or the way usual people do). However, more often than not (as in always) you have to read it from right to left ( <----You start on the right then go left. ) You'll get used to it in time ~_~" because if you insist on reading it from left to right well then....(lolz Goodluck).

Indeed, to me it proved to be quite entertaining and its become a habit to read manga whenever i have free time. Sure, i still watch anime every now and then (Especially the Anime's that i read on Manga). But since im a bookworm :3 i prefer reading than watching. To those that haven't tried to read manga in their whole lives...i suggest you try it :3 Maybe, just maybe...You'll find a good story that will make you smile,fall in love, cry, or even get irritated.

Sharing my thoughts, from me to you :3
Have a great week everyone ^_^

My Wish under the Starry Skies.


Geeez...another year will add up to my age. Now i sit back and reflect on what happened to me a year ago. First off, i would like to tell you guys that im still good looking ( tsk xD! even my age can't do anything about that :3 ). O__o and don't raise your eyebrows or smirk you little (insert approrpriate word here) xD! Well anyways, it has been a good year. My Family is still the same, i hope that nothing bad ever happens to them. My friends are still ok, highschool and clanmates, online friends are still kicking (at least mostly, the rest i dunno if they are already six feet under >:3 ). Love? uhh....*isip isip* that is a difficult question, or should i say "Now is not the time" or so would i say, but perhaps its more like "Still looking for that special someone". Im a picky person, (di ako torpe xD! if i like someone i tell them) mahirap kasi maghanap ng kasing level ng kabaliwan ko. Yes sure, i had some previous relationships. It didn't work out though, :3 its ok carry ko naman eh (T________________T waaaaaaaahuhuhuhuhuhu!!! it hurts!!).

I was born under the fire sign of Leo. Sabi nila ang good traits daw ng mga Leo's are
Generous and warmhearted
Creative and enthusiastic
Broad-minded and expansive
Faithful and loving


Tapos darkside daw namin is
Pompous and patronizing
Bossy and interfering
Dogmatic and intolerant

Well xD! maybe yung iba dyan is right, and some are false. Sa mga close ko you be the judge na lng. I know naman kung ano yung mga badsides and goodsides ko, Well thats me and thats that. You just have to put up with me neh? :3


Ano pa ba? future plans? I don't think too much of the future, it comes soon enough (naks, tiba kuya Jem?). The one thing that im sure is that, this year i would be pretty busy. Who knows? i might even get to know someone na magpapahaba ng hair ko (muahahah kala nyo ha =P). Simple lng naman akong tao eh, i don't really like complicated things. Itanong nyo sa akin kahit ano wag lang math, masasagot ko yan. Gaya ng ginagawa ng halos lahat ng tao sa mundo, after Birthday next event na is christmas (and yes, super bilis lumipas ng araw mag-papasko na ulit).

Now as i gaze upon this Starry Night Sky, i think about all the things that are important to me. If i have a wish (no make that wishes, kasi marami) for my Birthday that would be...Good Health to my Family, stronger bonds with them. Same for my friends. Sabi nga ni Mama lagi, mas ok na wala masyadong pera basta healthy lahat walang problema. Wala akong masyadong talent (unless you call eating 1 gallon of ice cream in 15mins is talent), Pero maswerte ako sa taong mga nakikilala ko. Im a very lucky person coz i meet good people. Yung iba hindi good, some even betrayed my trust. But thats ok, thats part of growing up. Pero so far ok naman, God has been good to me since the day my father died. We didn't suffer that much, I give my thanks to him for everything i have, and everything that he has in-store for me (tama ba spell? xD!) And as i remember my past i can't help but smile. Sure there will always be sad and happy times, that is how it is supposed to be.

To those people that holds a place in my heart and me to them, "Raise your heads and have no fear, The Strider is Here!"


and lastly, let me end with one of my favorite quotes.

"I haven't done as well as i should have done. But, i have done my best.
Frankly and forthrighly, no man can do more. And you are entitled to no less."


Keep the fires burning Phoenix!

Brand New Breeze


I've been quite busy this past few weeks, especially on the project that i am working on lately. My boss has been pretty eager on testing things (when i say testing, as in you can see him wearing a labtest uniform). I can't say what type of projects we are working on lately because its confidential ( o__o yeah it is, don't ask why). And no, we haven't killed anyone yet *smirk* Things are looking good for now, and hopefully i won't have to see MB for a while. I am currently designing our logo and other stuffs as well. So i've been busy busy busy~ But of course >:3 i have other responsibilities to do. I don't need Salompas, nor a massage (yeah xD! alam nyo na kung sino kau lewlz!!) Kumpleto na ang Menyek Brigade and ready to roll. How does that saying go again.....ah!
Flame On!

My Sister's Birthday



This is one of those Once a Year occassions that proves that we are still alive. I wish for her the best life has to offer and may God and Lady Luck smile upon her. She still has a long way to go and hopefully she will be happy. Now i will take my leave...I still need to get a piece of that cake >:)


"To see a world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wild flower.
Hold the Infinity at the palm of your hands, and eternity in a hour."

Passing of time



Its been 3 months since i last posted here, and i want to share what i did on those months. First off, i finally finished Harry 7 ( argh...it took me that long to finally read it! ). And the kitten that i took in is now a full grown...tiger that pounces or bites everyone that comes within striking range. I named him siopao, becoz i love to eat siopao. Finished reading a couple of books, learned a few lessons in life and watch a dozen or so anime's. One of the things that i learned is "knowing the importance of something, when its gone". We take things for granted, and never realize how important that thing is. Until it is too late and is gone. So we should never take things for granted and treasure them. Another thing that im glad to have is our bike, its embarassing to say that i don't know how to ride a bike until a few weeks ago. Now im proud to say that i can ride it...not that good, but just enough to enjoy and feel the wind. My friends, are going to graduate this year. Some though are not that lucky. It saddens me to know that they didn't make it, and i know how much effort they had given just to pass. Im sure that they can recover and move on, i hope that would be soon. Changes are bound to happen, for good or bad. We just have to take things...one step at a time.

Keep the fires burning.

A year is now over, a new one just Begun =)

December came and it was great! This has been a good year for me, and for my clan. Nevertheless a new year starts and new challenges should be faced.

Personally i don't really make any New Year's Resolution. Not that i don't believe in it, nor would i challenge those who make a list of their New Year's Resolution (I dont want to die xD). I just don't think that making one suits me. I hope this year i would be more successful in the things i undertake, not only in the game but in the real world. I've been with some of my clanmates for 3 years i think....or 2 1/2 years. As i reflect upon those years, i ask myself...what have i accomplished? what have i done? did i not waste anything? Siguro...the first thing on my list for this year is read the last book of Harry Potter XD! im way behind~~

Im not an active blogger =) maybe i should change that this year~
>_< ack! talking about not making any New Year's Resolution (ooops my bad :D ).
