Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.From online buddy, Ian, thanks!
Don't you think it's kind of sad for the other stars? During the day, they're completely ignored when the sun is there. At night, they compete with each other for the smallest of attentions.
I hope each star has an earth of their own.
FYI: In the world of the Lord of the Rings, the word elen or in affix form "-el-" which can be found in Elvish names like Elessar, Elendil and Elrond means "star". Although the first two are translated as "Elfstone" and "Elf-friend", literally they would mean "Star-stone" and "Star-friend". The word eled meaning "Elf" also has as its affix form "-el-" thus the reason behind the double meaning. Elrond means "starry-dome".
FYI (about myself): That's the reason behind my Elle nickname. This Elle thing was a campaign I started the moment I got into college because I couldn't implement it back in grade school/high school. And I KNOW it's really stupid and all, but I don't care anymore. I actually enjoy the silliness of it. Haha.
ALL HAIL TOLKIEN!
This Tolkien fanaticism is really my panacea.
Here's another manga worth mentioning. After so long, I finished with the entire thing just this month :D
The anime was aired on TV back in 2004. Despite the dreadful ABS-CBN reception, I was enamoured by it, looking forward to weekends just so I could watch an episode. And then I couldn't be patient anymore and decided to buy the series. I had so much trouble obtaining my copy which I wouldn't dwell on anymore, but I have to say that that purchase was one of those that I never did regret. I started with the manga a bit later but eventually stopped without finishing it some time later (as is my usual habit).
I went totally crazy over this thing for while. When I decided to pick it up again, I guess I went and did that once more for the second time.
The story became darker/deeper than I expected. Contains some major plot twist shockers ("Eh what?" But that's what they really are! :p). A lot of interesting characters. And of course, pwede bang mawala ang mga eksenang bentang-benta sa target market nito? This is a shoujo manga, if you didn't know...
This thing's just overflowing with cute stuff. And I am so easily fascinated by cute stuff. And the art is really really good!
**I'm really not good with synopsis and stuff like that so head on to Wiki or some place else for one.
**The picture above is among the hundreds that I saved during the height of my Furuba addiction. No idea who I'd credit.
I'm in no position to say that D.Gray-man is the best, the greatest, the ultimate manga ever created. (Contrary to what my YM status has been stating lately.) No one will ever have that right though because the best, the greatest, the ultimate manga does not and will never exist.
As of this moment, however, that my line of thought. I'm sure there will be no dispute if I say that D.Gray-man is one of the coolest there is.
D.Gray-man is a story about...
Naaah~ this Wikipedia article is safe to read. No spoilers. But for anyone interested, don't go further than the plot section.
(BTW, image is from http://www.flickr.com/photos/uchihasakur
I haven't gone as far with the anime as I had with the manga. I read somewhere that the anime was cut abruptly at episode 103. That sucks but I'm one for the manga so as long as D.Gray-man's mangaka has some more surprises up her sleeve I won't be disappointed.
One last shot (I just have to say this!): Allen Walker's Innocence is so cool. The way the author introduces each transformation just makes me lose my breath all the time.
No, it's not the last. General Cross is as cool as hell. Timcampi is adorable. Yu vs. Allen. Miranda's ability. Komui and his robot..
And this won't stop unless I cut this right now.
sa dami ng dapat gawin, nagkatotoo na para sa akin ang "sleep is a luxury"..

i've started with Kurosagi The Movie months ago but i haven't got past part 2.
Attention Please! is somewhere in episode 5 or 6 while Last Friends is still in pilot episode.
my plan to re-watch HYD2 and Gokusen Series still had/ve/sn't (alin ba?) pushed through.
and the most depressing of all...
Maou and Code Blue is up already. T_T GUSTO KONG MANUOD!

Haha. The UP Pep Squad brought home the bacon! And a very meaty bacon it was. By only some 0.60+ points, close call. Amazing!
I hate myself for not enduring the long lines. Oh well, there's still next year. And we will still be the champions!

Academic suffering. Imminent deadlines and still nothing accomplished. Trigo is like a ticking bomb in my head waiting to explode. But I won't let that happen, damn it. EnvSci1 term paper remains unwritten with only two weeks to go. Exams in Eng1 and Kas1. This tires me exceedingly.
But despite all of the above, I still find the time to listen to my fave audiobooks and read my novels. That ain't busy. It's called procrastination.
Yeah, it's procrastination that kills us all.

Today is Joe Trohman's birthday. All hail the FRO! Even though you smoke pot which is a big turn-off (Yeah, I know I have no right to judge you by that), you are still the best that is. More birthdays and more music to come.
...Er, what's with the mention of pot? *slaps forehead*
Oh, and happy belated birthday to me too. Wonderful day that was. Had my birthday cake and blew my candles for the first time in ten years. I love my life.

Currently captivated by Philip Pullman's masterpiece, His Dark Materials. Hope I don't bleed my ears out listening to this magnificent trilogy. Damn its length. Three books consisted of nine to twelve mp3s, each one more or less an hour long. Add to that the existence of my bloody player. Thank goodness it's all worth it.
I am going to quest for the books somewhere. It's too pretty a thing to not have.

A little space. A breath of relief. Over? No. There wasn't a silver lining on the cloud. But then, fool's hope is better than no hope at all.

Probably my last mention of my misery. I can't fucking go. Period. I seem to be taking it quite well. Yes, I SEEM. But I'm not. Now they're going out twice. They prolonged my torture. I won't get out of this alive.

Last Wednesday totally pissed me off. The Math midterms thing? Yeah? Sucker. Yesterday, Friday, was a day of relief. Eng1 midterms postponed. I hate and love this weather.

Penchant for audiobooks instead of ebooks due to easily fatigued eyes. Boredom revived this pastime. Rediscovering my old book-series wishlist in line with the audiobook search process.

Rummaged through my rathole and to my surprise, found poetry and stuff like that. Wow. I did write poetry, but not the kind where you get mushy and lovey and all. It's all nature and power. Weird, eh? The fact that I wrote these stuff during the peak of my Lord of the Rings obsession explains it all.
BTW, aside from poetry I also unearthed old notebooks and papers that chronicled my futile attempts to study Tolkien's Elvish Quenya. I
I put on a brave face and pushed forward only to find quicksand. I am sinking, sinking...

Trickling away into nothingness. Every passing minute is time wasted. Pero wala akong magawa. Rushing will only make things worse.
My entries are now positively absurd. An outpouring of what? Desperation? Frustration? Impatience? Hopelessness? Never thought I'd end up writing such abominable stuff.
Eng1. I'm almost sure of a 10 grade for today (whatever that means, obviously it's much worse than the usual 5). And then I received last week's rating, the most craved UNO. How's that for irony? Ennui. Kas1. Death. Math17.
The pain is still there, multiplied x times. And no more ice cream :'(
Light, anyone? Been staying too long in the dark. Dementors closing in, sucking every happy thought away. Heavy heart: ankle-deep in the ground, losing the will to struggle.
Which came first: the music or the misery?
I can put up with the regrets in the future.
I wasn't able to attend the General Assembly last Sunday. No hope of comfort there.
More pain came along the way. An impromptu dentist appointment. Two vexing molars. But with ice cream at the end of the day, I could possibly bear one more. And then maybe another. Take pleasures from the petty things in life.
It draws nearer, day by day. I'm a full pledged coward. It scares me to contemplate the risks and consequences. A heavy heart on the subject makes up about half of my stressful life.
My life is in the dumps right now. I hate to admit it so early, but my college life sucks so bad. I sleep through Env Sci1 almost every time. Eng1 is giving me a barrage of 5s, just when I thought English was my chum. (I am trying very hard to redeem myself though). Our Kas1 report was, I think, a complete fiasco. And Math17, there are no words to express how much i loathe myself for being so stupid, so careless. Geog1 is not bright enough to drive the shadows away.
And add to that, I am tortured by the possibility of NOT being able to get to that Fall Out Boy concert on September. Something unexpected is always bound to happen. Perhaps its the tickets, or the permission, or the companions, or that I have a long test the next day, or that a raking' typhoon timed itself so well. No one knows until its over.
To think that it's the only thing keeping me going despite my miseries. I can't bear the thought of it slipping away.
I just finished the 'Deathly Hallows' I borrowed from Lon yesterday. Never much of a Harry Potter fan, but I did cry a lot while reading this last book. All the references and details from the previous books were mashed up in my head so I guess I'll just have to reread the whole series again.
I'll be over at the General Assembly of LRMS Alumni Batch 07 tomorrow. Excited? Definitely, I'm looking forward to seeing my high school friends again. I should somehow find comfort once they start debating among themselves whose college life is the most wrecked so far.
Fall Out Boy's southeast Asia tour will make a stop Quezon City, Philippines to play the Araneta Coliseum. Tickets go on sale July 18th for the show at "The Big Dome" on September 21.
*****
I want to go so badly. I'm so desperate, I think can already do the unthinkable. ROFL. Kidding, haha.
But I will try to work something out, I just have to watch it.
If you can suggest anything, here are the three major problems that jumped out the instant I saw that bit of news:
- money and ticket prices
- parental permission
- companions
I can't go with one of these lacking.
Aw. I still have more than two months. And my birthday is coming up, HAHA. I can do this. I swear I can do this.

My first semester was filled with a lot of delicious events. Lady Luck got hold of CRS and gave me all my pre-enlisted subjects. Two of my professors right now are among the most recommended professors in the whole campus (I am sooo lucky!). I've seen a lot of eye-catching UCM from my college, and loads more from other classes and colleges. I have an already bonded block with cool blockmates.
That's enough to keep me going, because that isn't the end of the story.
I have an evil ENG1 professor (hehe). For all who knew Mrs. Bautista, their methods are somewhat alike. Just make her questions ten times harder. I fear I already have one absence in his class. I missed on one quiz and I just hope he wouldn't throw my latest submission. Plus, I believe I have one of the Powerpuff professors in my Math17. Somebody save me. Math17 is starting to kill me, poison me, strangle me, drown me!
I'm going to survive this. I will. (Self-confidence booster. That's the key! LOL)
A lot of events coming up. I'll try keeping this updated as often as I can. Although that could mean once a week, or once every two weeks, or once a month...

the past few days have been blurry with a few glimpses of clarity involving captain jack sparrow and his crew, the used's album, and the abhorsen trilogy by garth nix. strange: movie, music, books. intermingling within a week's span. nudging me closer than ever to the brink of insanity. perhaps i have already fallen. only, i continue to deny the fact.
ink and paper. since i have lost all interest in the luxury that the personal computer is offering, i suppose i shall have to resort to the conventional means.
if i say what i mean to say right now, i'd probably go wild again.

Finally.
This only means I am bound to rekindle the embers of insanity for The Used that I have left fading for many months now.
Step back a little, Fall Out Boy. The Used is here.
Ah yes, of course. I can't end this useless post without saying my undyingly infamous lines.

EDIT: Unfinished entry. Posting anyway.
Well, out of sheer curiosity (probably also of boredom) I tried writing down stuff in line with this style. Of course, I'm not making any masterpiece. It's more of an experiment actually: a very rough application of the aforementioned style.
What I did in here was to write everything I was thinking without regard for relation or connection whatsoever. So here is the end result of my little experiment.
*****
I'm trying to find or think of something to think or mull about. I don't like the music playing over Jam right now. I enjoy Rick and Patti's conversations and wish that I could also do such conversations too. They have amazing ideas and they are very good in vocally expressing it. I heard this song on Jam about this website or store Ebay like "I bought this on Ebay" sung on the tune of "I want it that way." It sucks big time but the lyrics were totally funny like this guy was buying all kinds of ridiculous stuff from the store even trash from his ex-girlfriend I think. I can't wait for their next dialogue. Another ugly song comes up. I'm not so into this kind of music like tapping bottles with water. It just isn't my type. My hands are getting tired writing this. My pencil's so not sharp and my hands are aching already. But I said that I won't stop writing until I fill this page. Well actually I didn't say that. I thought of it the exact moment I said it. Well, they're on Rick and Patti again. I read back that line, it was wrong. Exact moment I wrote it. That's a nice topic they have about mentally deranged people calling them and scaring and annoying them. Patti's voice is very nice. I saw her face in the website and she doesn't look like how she sound.
*****
That's the end of it. My hands were really aching by then. You may have noticed there was a lot of redundant words, grammatical mistakes and other faults. I didn't pay attention to things like that. I just wrote and wrote whatever came up. I can't write as fast as I think.
LOL. This is so stupid.

The song is good. I'm impressed. They're really back. The video is gross. Ugh. Well, it fits the song title in one perspective: the worm. Quinn is still Quinn. Love. Bert. Well, I'm kind of disappointed with his hair but hell, it's his hair. He can do whatever he wants with it without caring a damn bit about what other people think.
