The long break is turning out to be unproductive. Super. I believe I was even busier during the 5-day suspension than this 14-day break. But, oh well -- I'm not complaining. I'm gonna level-up my character in Audition this weekend. And... yes, I'm still in the Top 1000 players in the Philippines. Hehehe. I wanna improve it to Top 800. How I wish. *sigh*

Schoolwork accomplished:
 - Reading English poems + scrutinizing them for an interpretation
 - Read SS hand-outs

That's pretty much it. Very bleak, I tell you. I have to finish 'em ASAP so I can play todo-todo na. My goal for tomorrow's to finish answering the Physics worksheet, finalize the 3rd STR PB, finish reading 'The White Tiger' [2nd round... hopefully read it a 3rd time before classes resume] and write the English essay. Gaaah. That's a looong list.

To my surprise, I'm actually paying my class funds on time. I think I know the reason why... it's because Desi [Rb's treasurer] actually gives us hand-outs/worksheets/paper works on time. I mean, I know where my funds are going and all... I can feel that they're working for me or something. [Sorry, Diane! D:]

Sir Martin and the rest of the faculty has come up with preventive measures to respond to the AHINI A(H1N1) crisis. There's a poster saying, "Not a SKam. Wear your maSK." Catchy, if I do say so myself. Why do I see my surname in there? Yehey -- may bagong ikwe-kwento ako pagbalik ng school. LMAO.

As I'm typing all of this, I suddenly saw a reply to one of my comment -- by Andro. NOOO, ANDROOO! Have mercy. I don't to resort to F-locking all of my entries!
And... yes, I cram. I do! Hindi lang siguro halata. And... please, pipe down when we see at school! Especially in front of Rubidium. Pleeease? *runs away* DX

I will now say this for the umpteenth time: I love-hate the English tournament. Don't worry, when I get booted out of the competition I'm gonna hate it for good.

I'm already in the 3rd round of the tourney, the quarterfinals. I'm up against my teammate, Ronn Mabunga. [Ohh, what a coincidence -- as I was typing it he suddenly went online in YM. Odd.] Also, when we get back to school I might protest one of my answers in the Quiz # 1. Weird, I thought my answer was right there. Grrr. I know I have no right to complain... since I got 21/20 in my there, anyway.

Are 'over-perfects' the thing of yesterday? I mean... I got another one of them yesterday, too. I and other Rubidium people were hanging out at the front lob, then Sir Tan passed by and asked us if we would like to see our LT1 scores. Sure, why not? We followed him to the Chem Unit and handed 'em. I got 43/40. Oh, joy.

I suddenly feel nerdy having said all that. True, I think my nerd-y side is starting to crop up again this school year. [It was hidden last year, for reasons I do not know.]

Ang kukulit ng Rubidium people. Kulit na wacky na nakakatuwa. LOL. And then there's someone posing as paparazzi or what-not with his camera phone. RAAAWR! Gaganti rin ako, someday! 'Till then, I better improve my dodging reflexes.

I also have another reason to be happy...? Maybe... maybe not. Waa -- I suddenly feel embarassed typing all of this. Gaaah, I am so fickle. But... yes, I am happy. Yesterday was the best! [Subject to change in the school year, most likely.]


No classes 'till July 27. Alright -- more time to gain EXP for my characters. Ohh, and I unearthed my old FFT [Final Fantasy Tactics] game from my cabinet. During the Christmas break, I am so gonna try it out again. I miss playing it! I miss the job system above all. Hahaha!

I had to re-re-revise my Filipino essay today since I wasn't satisfied with it. And now? I'm very, very amused with what I came up with. Maybe I'll let people read it tomorrow, maybe I won't. We'll see -- depending on how my confidence level is.

There's already an A(H1N1) case in Pisay? My dad also disclosed who the person was... but I'm not really acquainted with him, anyway. Just know him by face. I have to make sure I'm in tip-top shape tomorrow since Pisay's gonna have a thermal scanner an' all. *gulp*

Rubidium, Rubidium, Rubidium. If I'm feeling up to it, I'm gonna make personalized/individualized messages dedicated to each person. Hopefully I have the time. Anyway... I feel like there's something I have to say... but never mind. Some other time would do. I've said this many times, but I really like this school year. My teachers and classmates are awesome. [It seems 'awesome' is the word for me as of the moment.]

My interest in the English subject has been rekindled once more. Yes, it was destroyed last school year due to obvious reasons. But I like it now. Except for the tournament thing talaga. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN ROUND TWO! *crosses fingers* I'm up against... stiff competition. Shoot. >__<

I. Am. So. Pooped!

I had to go around Greenbelt, Galleria and Metro Manila [in general] since I was entertaining the family of my mom's-best-friend-in-college. Whew! My legs really hurt, and my whole body feels like collapsing in front of the keyboard. Wait... now that I just reread that sentence kinda makes me want to laugh. LOL.

The upside of that whole touring thing is that the food we ate during lunch and dinner was extreeemely delicious! [I still feel kinda bloated 'till now.] But of course, we had to show them the good side of Manila since the family we were entertaining just came from America [I think they were staying here for 5 weeks or so]...

Ayun. We went through museums, tourist spots, malls and restaurants. I kinda felt like a tourist myself. XD

I'm done with practically all the homework that's been dumped to me. Or so I thought. I was parading in YM with my stat 'Jai ho. Done with schoolwork! XD' until Cholo IM-ed and asked if we had to do something for Poplaw. NOOO! So scratch that. I have finished everything, except for Poplaw. Demmit.

I'm now interested in a new anime -- Zero no Tsukaima. It's pretty awesome, if you ask me. It's been a long time na rin kasi since I tried a new anime. Thanks a bunch to you -- mister-Rubidium-guy -- for introducing me to it. You know who you are, well... provided you actually read my blog. ^____^

Wow. I've been online since 7 AM and now it's... about to be 12 PM. I really should continue doing my homework, but oh well. I'm getting obsessed with checking my Y!M. I go online, then I go offline. It's driving me nuts. I don't know what to do online! What a weird dilemma.

I'm only finished with Chemistry and Biology homeworks. I hope to finish all of them by today, but that doesn't seem likely. Whew! And, and... I feel weird. Talaga. Especially when I go to school. I dunno... blaaah. I feel so sabaw today. Grrr. I hope I won't still be like that when I do my Filipino essay revision later.

Natatawa ako kanina sa YM confe ng Rb with Ma'am Chupungco. We were like...
Ma'am Chups: So, how are your requirements coming along? Marami ba?
Other Rb people: Sobrang dami, pero crammable! :)) Etc, etc.
Me: Not really... I think some of the teachers weren't anticipating suspension of classes. XD
Ma'am Chups: Charleen, you were never one to complain! 

A
musing. :3

No classes for us 'till Monday. So that means... more time to hang out in cyberspace. Oh joy.

Anyway, this school year's turning out to be a lot of fun! It's definitely gonna be better than last year's, and... who knows? Maybe it'll be better than Freshman year, too. I'm getting along well with Rubidium and its teachers. Hahaha.

Wow. I made it past the first round in English! I was nervous during the "judgement day" announcement because... well, I was pitted against someone who was... challenging, I guess [Abby De Guzman]? Next round is me vs. RJ Bonga. I did well in the second quiz. At least, that's what I believe. *crosses fingers* I want to know my score from the 1st quiz. I'm just curious.

RJ and I actually finished our labrep in Bio in record time, considering we're just a two-man team. Our third member is totally useless, so I'm disregarding his presence or his involvement for the rest of the school year. The Adelfa peeps could attest to that.

Surprisingly, we had Poplaw this afternoon! I didn't mind it, though. Benny was just pestering me with the lines, "OMG! You killed Lakshmana!" And I was like, "I did not! I only killed Bharata!" T'was really funny. And then Cholo and Benny were like... goofing off and I was between them so I got caught up in it also. It was really hilarious. =))

This is just a copy-paste of the rant I did the e-Games forum. But don't mind me. I'm simply editing my post there, I wish to keep this... as a copy lang of what I felt back then. Anyway...

"As some of you might know [unless you were ignorant], Angel and I had our wedding party yesterday. I was really looking forward to it [I know some of you were] but all of that changed when I actually went in-game. I was [b]totally disappointed[/b] with the dismal attendance an' all. Yes, I know that some of you are busy -- with real-life matters. I understand that. At least may mga ibang nagpaalam naman or posted or said that they can't make it -- so I was cool with that.

Ilan nga lang ba yung pumunta?
1.) Mika [Toilet]
2.) Mika's couple, Reii
3.) Ed [-Spade]
4.) Tian
5.) Steph

And that's it. I don't mind, anyway we had fun regardless of the fact na kami-kami lang yung nandoon.

I am sorry. Sorry for myself. And sorry for Quaelum.

The thing na naiinis ako about is regarding our SUPER-DUPER-HYPER-ULTRA-MEGA INACTIVITY IN-GAME. Kung average of 3 out of 50+ members lang pala mag-oonline during weekends, matatawag pa ba tayong 'gaming group'? Read the first page, people. We better do an overhaul of some of 'em.

Audi'Quaelum Overseers: Quatoreya, Qualliandre, mingzhu
So, here they are -- our overseers. I see Tito Reya in forums and in-game. I see Ate Kei in YM and occasionally in-game. And Ate Ming? Nowhere to be found. This is merely my personal observation.

Gaming style: casual
Okay, so we're casual. So we're not hardcore or anything. That's good. But I do not think 'casual' meant going in-game once or twice a year. Hello? -- Hindi na po yan gaming. Hindi rin yan casual. Siguro checking if your account is still alive lang yan.

Bound by their mutual love for online gaming...
If you love online gaming you wouldn't abandon your family or chara, would you? I believe some us already fell 'out of love' in Audition.

...the circle will continue to establish game domains in the future and will stand firm and stay strong in the years to come.
I doubt it. Audi pa nga lang, hindi na nga 'stand firm' and 'stay strong' yung iba sa atin. Some people have shown waning interest in the game. I guess that's perfectly normal. But don't use 'hibernate muna ako' as a reason. If you don't think you'll be coming back into the game anytime soon, there's really no point in staying. Waste of space ka lang sa member list.

Together, as one group, as one family, it will reach for the heavens...
I really hope we could pull this off. But if we're going to be 'one', I bet there will still be people dragging us down as we reach for the heavens. Haaayz.

There's also our Quaelan mantra, our rules. Stay active and be social? Some of us don't abide by this anymore. People are taking advantage of the current status of Quaelum [inactive] so they could be one, too. It really ticks me off."

I woke up at 8.40 AM today. I guess my body isn't 100% adjusted to the sleeping and waking hours of the school year... yet. My throat wasn't [that] sore anymore, so that's good. Updates on how my gaming life is going:

1.) Audition: Less than 50k experience to go before license! I just bought a new item yesterday and it cost me almost P200. But I think it's worth it. *tries to convince myself* Later in the afternoon will be my 3rd [and last] wedding party. Hehehe. I hope everything goes well.

2.) GrandChase: Trained my Elesis up 2 levels, so she's now 21. I really suck at PVP. I lost 5 games and won 4. At least there's still a lot of missions to go around, so I can shift to dungeon mode instead.

3.) Kingdom Hearts: I want the PS2 baaack! I can't wait for the Christmas break so my parents will allow me to use it again. I want to finish my games in KHII : Final Mix [yes, it's in Japanese] and Re: Chain of Memories. =3

In lieu of my commitment to avoid cramming, I'll *poof* now and get back to my STR 2nd research brief and study for Wednesday's Math LT.

We had a quiz today in English. Honestly, I don't like this tournament thing Sir Arghs has because it's driving me nuts re-reading [and reading again] the Ramayana just so I could convince myself that I'm ready for the quiz. I think I did well awhile ago. I think. It would be a shame if I got booted out of the tourney after the first round. *frown*

I just played Audi awhile ago. I feel uber-noobish nanaman since it's been a week since I played! I hope to get my momentum back in time for tomorrow's "big event". I bought 'nuff EP to last me 1-2 months, hehe.

Ohh, and I'm not cramming for requirements pa. [Accomplishment!] I hope to keep it to an uber-minimum so that I'll get at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night. =))
