Erinnerung an die Marie A.

  • Nov. 9th, 2009 at 10:23 PM
Erinnerung an die Marie A.

1
An jenem Tag im blauen Mond September
Still unter einem jungen Pflaumenbaum
Da hielt ich sie, die stille bleiche Liebe
In meinem Arm wie einen holden Traum.
Und über uns im schönen Sommerhimmel
War eine Wolke, die ich lange sah
Sie war sehr weiß und ungeheuer oben
Und als ich aufsah, war sie nimmer da.

2
Seit jenem Tag sind viele, viele Monde
Geschwommen still hinunter und vorbei
Die Pflaumenbäume sind wohl abgehauen
Und fragst du mich, was mit der Liebe sei?
So sag ich dir: Ich kann mich nicht erinnern.
Und doch, gewiß, ich weiß schon, was du meinst
Doch ihr Gesicht, das weiß ich wirklich nimmer
Ich weiß nur mehr: Ich küsste es dereinst.

3
Und auch den Kuss, ich hätt' ihn längst vergessen
Wenn nicht die Wolke da gewesen wär
Die weiß ich noch und werd ich immer wissen
Sie war sehr weiß und kam von oben her.
Die Pflaumenbäume blühn vielleicht noch immer
Und jene Frau hat jetzt vielleicht das siebte Kind
Doch jene Wolke blühte nur Minuten
Und als ich aufsah, schwand sie schon im Wind.

(Bertolt Brecht)

Con talk (catchin' up), NaNoWriMo

  • Nov. 9th, 2009 at 7:36 AM
So last weekend was Yaoi Con. Nur and I only ended up going for Friday night through Saturday morning. We stayed with the amazing [info]pacificpikachu and her friends. We decided to only get a Saturday badge, so after arriving and unloading, we went out for Taco Bell and watched The Fugitive. I had never seen it before. It was pretty awesome. =D I hadn't been sleeping well, so I pretty much passed out after the movie.

Someone decided to SAW WOOD in the middle of the night. I kid you not.

I woke up earlier than everyone else on Saturday, so I went out into the hallway to watch the latest episode of the Mentalist. As luck would have it, [info]astrokittie saw me and I hung out in her room with [info]joeshadows and [info]xel_ko for a bit. Good times. They heard the wood sawing too, so I know I wasn't crazy! Nur woke up and helped me get into my costume. I was cosplaying adult Zakuro from Kurozakuro. I had two wigs... one for his antler version, and one for regular version. Antler version ended up completely not working (alas), but the other version worked alright. Nur drew on my markings and tried to put tooth wax on (didn't really work for reasons we cannot explain), then we dressed up Cubby and headed out to take some pictures.

Nur has this magical camera that takes magical pictures. I was really happy with how a lot of the ones he took turned out!! He did a shoot with me, then a shoot with Cubby, who was dressed in the Lickitung costume Nur made for him. Cubby says, "Best costume EVER. Best Pokémon EVER." Then we headed into the dealers room and bought a bunch of doujin. I wasn't really interested in any of the panels, so we went back to the room, chatted with people, and watched NCIS. We left at 4-ish after saying hi to the Minna crowd. On the way back, we went to every Toys-R-Us we passed by. I wanted the new Jolteon toy, but had no luck. Nur was able to get toys of all the Regis though! I picked up an Orgin Forme Giratina and one of the new 5Ds tins (even though it didn't have Yuusei on it) because it was on sale and I love me my tins.


The Minna no Anime Halloween Party was this weekend. I had a fantastic time! Everything I participated in was tons of fun. AND THERE WAS A BREAD BAKING CONTEST. I didn't participate, but oh god the entries were SO GOOD. It's so nice to go to these parties now and not be in charge. It's so relaxing. I cosplayed as Apollo from Sousei no Aquarion. I tried to be in character, but I could never stay that way for very long! We stayed at Nik's place and hanging out with him is always fun. On Sunday we had lunch with a huge group of awesome Minna people. Oh, I miss being able to hang out with people all the time. T^T OH OH OH And [info]kithkanan gave me the Keaton Zoology book with is AMAZING AND KEATON AND FULL COLOR OMG. Thank-you thank-you thank-you~!!!!♥

I'll be spamming later with pictures from the photoshoots Nur did for me.


So so so it's November, and with everyone's help I have chosen a comic to work on. It's so late in the month, and I only have two pages done. HAHAHAHAHWHOOPS. I didn't want to rush anything while I was trying to get ready for the Minna party and making sure work was getting done. Now I can try to catch up. I have the next 17 or so pages storyboarded, so it shouldn't be soooo bad to get going on this. WE SHALL SEE! XD

November Noveling 2009 Part II

  • Nov. 5th, 2009 at 11:04 PM
"The husband forms the head, the wife forms the body, and the two form- (one flesh)."
"Voltron."

Some days I love being me.

Especially with all the sleep deprivation I've had in the last 24 hours, which I can also attribute to a possibly religiously heretical Batman metaphor.  Two papers and some side projects consumed nearly my entire day, so tomorrow I'm either going to go back to extensive noveling or relax and mess around with Advance Wars for a bit.

And speaking of noveling...

Day Five:
 
13376 / 50000 words. 27% done!

Number of people killed: one guy, twice.  Misfortunate in that he's all but superfluous in context, so he'll probably get cut during revisions.  Such is the life of the literally immortal extra.

And somehow Nazis, a bizarre cult, and copious knives in suitcases worked their way into my backstory footnotes.  Hooray for the creative process.

051109 WHY THE HATE THEY SAY..

  • Nov. 6th, 2009 at 12:12 AM

About 200 visualizations of coconuts
Sorry for the pic quality, I'm using my new phone.


And most of them get stroked out by my lecturer so I have 52 ideas left to redraw, I need to submit another 100 coconuts for Monday. This is why I hate coconuts. I swear if I see a coconut I will throw it right away to a random person teheeeeee.

Also, went with [info]ryfee to bookstore today, bought Pandora Hearts 3 and getting my 'look so smrt in the bookstore' pics, for Basic Illust project I need to get my own pictures taken and printed. I especially hate being photographed, it was so embarrassing to let out my narcissist side and to have my picture PRINTED D8. And I'm so... un-photogenic and fugly I can't even... *scrap my photos away to pieces*.

I have so many funny things to write, life's been interesting... and complicated whatnot. But I really can't pour it out because I'm so freaking tired and my brain has gone AWOL. It's good to be alive.. I guess? How are you people?

Busy Times

  • Nov. 4th, 2009 at 8:33 PM
Things have been busy in all sorts of ways! Work has actually been pretty light recently, but I've been trying to catch up with some other stuff! This weekend is the Minna no Anime Halloween party, so I've been trying to get my costume done for that. I've also been updating the master karaoke list, which is taking a lot longer than I thought it would. The collection has tripled since last year! I'm almost done with the "P" section. I hope I can finish tomorrow.

Uhhhh.... I don't think I mentioned it earlier, but a couple weeks ago I got a big Palkia plush in the mail. His name is Atlus and he's really shy. A couple days ago I got a Groudon plush I had ordered. His name is Apollo. I actually have photo stories for both of them Oh!! And also my third new Pokémon plush, Mackenzie. I have a lot of photostories to post, but they'll have to wait until at least after this weekend! I'll talk about Y-Con after this weekend! (Short version, it was AWESOME)

Sorry I haven't replied to any messages and haven't commented much on journals! It'll be a bit longer before I write back properly!

Sorry!

Writer's Block: Change is good

  • Nov. 4th, 2009 at 9:14 PM

If you could change one major thing about your life, whether a relationship, your job, your living situation, your school, etc., what would it be? Are you currently working toward a serious life transition?

There are so many things I want to change about my life, but if I'm to change something about my life, it is no other than myself. I don't know if it makes any sense. :p

Actually, what I really want is to go back in time. Reset my life and start from the day I was born. It's not that I regret everything that I've done and what've had happened in my life, I just want to start from the very beginning. I'm not quite sure if I'd be a totally different person if that happened but surely, I want to meet the same people I know now. :)

I believe I'm not working toward a serious life transition. I just go with the flow, with the path I chose. I think after I graduate from college, my life would totally change... I hope it would be a change... for good. :)

Earlier, pinagsabihan nanaman ako nina mama kanina, supposedly, lilinisin ko ang buong bahay pero tinamaan nanaman ng katams (ano ba gamot sa katams). Pero naman kasi, sa sobrang kalat ng bahay, di ko rin alam kung papano ko uumpisahan linisin. Haha! May point naman sila, nung may pasok pa, I was so busy with school stuffs to the point na hindi na ako nakakatulong sa mga gawaing bahay, now should be my turn. T^T

Kanina, ang pangit ng panaginip ko, si dichi, nabuntis daw, waah... at dun pa sa pangit niyang officemate. Sorry to be mean pero mukhang addict kasi yung officemate niya eh. Wag naman sana. At hindi dapat. please lang talaga.. dreams, please dreams. >_<

By the way, I think I like Adam Lambert's rendition of No Boundaries better than Kris'. I'm not against Kris Allen but I really like Adam's style. :)

Tumblr-ing

  • Nov. 3rd, 2009 at 8:40 PM
I have my Tumblr account for quite sometime now but I'm not using it as much as I use LJ. I think most of the people there do more of photo blogging than writing a jounal like this. I dunno, I just can't leave LJ. :D I'm actually trying/have tried several blog sites and LJ is where I found comfort.

I love this day, so windy. :)

November Noveling 2009

  • Nov. 1st, 2009 at 11:44 PM
Who's dat, who's dat, dog put that sog.

Yeah, that's right.  You heard it here first, or probably second considering how chatty I get around fellow NaNoers.

Day One:
 
5521 / 50000 words. 11% done!

Compared to how last year went, not too shabby an opening! I'm trying something a bit looser in terms of plotting this time around, letting me experiment with character relationships to some pleasing results. Unfortunately, this is partially due to subjugating my editor cravings, so the impending rewrite is going to be severe in some cases (SASHAAAAAAAAAAA~).

Also a little tricky in that each chapter is narrated around one particular character (and not necessarily in chronological order either), but I don't want too much overlap or it gets repetitive. They're all likable people of course, to one degree or another, which contrasts nicely to the fact that most of them do thoroughly reprehensible things for a living, in a sort of purposeful mood dissonance.

A good portion of my November is probably going to be drowned in near end semester writing projects, so wish me some measure of success that I can keep this up.

Di Ka Nag-Iisa

  • Nov. 2nd, 2009 at 3:40 PM
Earlier, me, together with my parents were having our lunch. We're eating the left-over from last night, my dad's special tuna fried rice. I can't even remember when was the last time my dad cooked (but I can recall that he cooked egg fried rice) but yesterday he was really eager to prepare a meal for us just because he missed cooking and was inspired by chef Niño's yang chow fried rice from a show in QTV11, he said.

Back to what I was typing, we were having our lunch and of course while eating, we're also watching TV (we were watching Eat Bulaga). It was the first time that we saw Ninoy's music video for his campaign.

*music video starting with Regine V. singing*
Us: *eating ice cream*
Mama: Bagong palabas ba 'to? May bagong ipapalabas?
Papa: *silently eating while watching TV*
Me: "huh? ano?"
Mama: "ayan o, tignan mo sa TV"

(I turned my eyes to the TV screen, I saw Sharon Cuneta)
Me: "uhmm.. ewan ko lang.. *busy with my ice cream*"
Mama: "baka may bagong show, ano ba yan?" (Nakukulitan na ako kay mama!)
Papa: "seeessshh..." (mukang nakukulitan narin si papa)

(i saw ai-ai delas alas)
Me: "ahh, commercial siguro yan ng Maggie eh"
Mama: "bakit puro mga taga-channel2?", "O? tapos may mga taga channel7 din, halo-halo."
Me: "haynako ma! hintayin nalang natin, di rin namin alam yan ipapakita naman yan sa dulo. *annoyed*"

(Noynoy showed up in the video)
Mama: "ahh, kay Cory at Ninoy"
Papa: "wala naman akong naintindihan sa kanta!" (as usual, bitter si papa kay Regine V. haha!)
Me: "lagi ka naman ganyan, galit ka kasi kay Regine. hahaha!"


So that's it. I just want to share what happened when we saw the video.
Actually, when I watched the video on Youtube, the song and the message of the song is beautiful. It's just funny how I thought it was a commercial for Maggie. Haha! Ang dami kasing naka-yellow eh, malay ko ba. Haha!

*sigh* Until now, I still can't decide. It's not that I hate Noynoy or what but I'm still thinking... If Cory didn't die so soon, ganito ba ka-warm ang pagtanggap ng mga tao kay Noynoy? O baka naman nadadala lang yung mga tao sa pagkamatay ni Cory. Diba?

Basta ang sure ako na hindi ko iboboto, si Gibo at si Villar. :p

A New Beginning

  • Oct. 31st, 2009 at 5:53 PM
So okay, yesterday was our college's issuance of clearance, and I failed a subject. Well, I was expecting it naman na though I was really hopeful na sana kahit papano, mapagbigyan ng chance at i-inc lang but then, not all professors are expected to be understanding enough. I'm not bitter or what, I understand their point and I'm quite guilty of my irresponsibility.

I'm not a superhuman or what, I can't do everything all at the same time and school is not my only priority, definitely. I need to have my own life as well, not only in school but also a time for myself, to do what I wanted for myself. I enjoy school but I won't allow school to consume all of my time and I don't want to regret someday.

I know schooling wouldn't be this tough for me if given that I don't need to wake up very early and travel hours to go to school. Everyday, when I arrive home, all I wanted to do is to lay down on my bed and sleep, honestly, the travel is very tiring. Unluckily, money's tight and we can't afford to rent in a dormitory or such, so I have no choice. I know my responsibilities as a student, It's just that... I don't know. All I know is that I'm tired.

Last night I talked to my parents, I told them about the news. I thought they would scold me or what but gladly, they took it calmly. I believe they understand me and I really hope that they really do. Pero siyempre, di na natin maiaalis na na-disappoint sila (sino ba namang magulang ang hindi diba?), siguro, iniisip nila ung perang gagastusin uli para dun. Kung tatanungin niyo ako, ayos lang naman sa akin na na-fail ako, ang kinakalungkot ko lang is yung kailangan uli namin magbayad para ma-take ko yung subject na yun, knowing the fact na kulang na kulang na kami sa pera. Kung tutuusin, di ko pa nga alam kung makakapag-enrol pa ako next sem.


"Not all professors are expected to be understanding enough."

Sabagay, wala naman kasi silang alam sa kung ano ang pinagdadaanan ng estudyante at ng pamilya ng estudyante nila kaya go lang sila.. kulang ka ng requirement, okay FAILED. I dunno... di ko alam kung ano ba dapat ma-feel ko sa mga ganung prof., I can't blame them. O well..

I know there will be something good in store for me. Ayoko na mayamot dahil sa grades. Sa future, sa papel nalang din naman ang grades. Di ba? Basta ang alam ko hindi ako bumagsak dahil sa bobo ako or what at alam ko na ginawa ko naman lahat ng makakaya ko, nakulangan lang talaga ako sa time. Hehe! At least I survived so thankful parin ako. :)


So here comes a brand new semester.. A NEW BEGINNING.. I just hope this sem would be fun. :) Cheers.

The problem with LJ: We all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about one another. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

---

I'm going home tomorrow for the weekend so I won't be around much, also I think there is not much you might not know about me since Me is all I write about here lol
On another note, I think I'm gonna be sick again. And at home, my mom and sister both have a stomach flu.

Voter's Registration

  • Oct. 29th, 2009 at 8:13 PM
It's so annoying how some of the people I know in Plurk and Facebook complain about how they hate the crowd, how long they have to stay under the heat of the sun, how their mom scold them for not registering, and lotsa other stuffs that has something to do about registration.

Hello?!? The Government's been advertising about the voter's registration for about a year or two, our local baranggay had their campaign last summer, even UST conducted a campaign about it INSIDE the campus before the second semester ended, and now the deadline for registration is fast approaching, they've got so much to complain about because they're just working for it now. Ughh... It's irritating.

They're posting like "I don't even want to give a sh*t about that election, I don't want to vote.", "My mom is forcing me to register ughh.."



What kind of youth do we have nowadays? They don't even care about the country's future. Tsk.
