Hello. Back to posting again. I've been pressured to post right now to keep my blog active, but I don't have much to post about.

First, I plug. Yay. I felt like finally making one while I have time to submit things. All I need is motivation to make submissions.

Then this is the part where I talk about what I've been doing in between the last time I posted and now. Well, almost nothing eventful. Except that I'm close to dehydration. It's too hot. So, there.

No, wait. I've been fooling around with Photoshop lately. Found some homework, projects, photos, sprites while cleaning out my computer and fooled around with them. Here's one:

Though I didn't really have anything against this project, any soft copy of an assignment is always prone to some mockery we students come up with. Do you art students remember Ida?

Until next time.

What Happens When You Neglect Your Cellphone for at Least Ten Hours

From 10 am to 8 pm,


  1. You see at least 3 or 5 or 10 or an infinite number of messages from your mom at work or whoever isn't at home. They end up scolding you (or maybe not) when they get home.
  2. You miss out on something quite important that's related to school. Nothing depending on your life. Or maybe it would when you come back to school or work (Forgive me, Champaca, for I have sinned. I missed the online confession yesterday.)
  3. Very annoying messages regarding free ringtone, ringback, wallpaper downloads from your SIM provider pile up. You missed opportunities to erase them as they come, so now they're blocking even the sunlight from your inbox because there's so many of them.


And how to avoid this, follow this fairly easy procedure:

  1. Hold your cellphone in your hand.
  2. Open your pocket.
  3. Place your hand holding your cellphone in that open pocket.
  4. Let go of the cellphone once it's in the pocket.
  5. Remove your now empty hand from the pocket.


Or I might just be overreacting because of that. I was supposed to post this once I was shocked about this. Alas, I wasn't able to connect to the internet.

...Will probably come back when I cool down.

***Edit: Corrected the title. Wah, I'm not a gangster.

Hello. Back to blogging again. I think I'm more motivated to blog more often. Not really sure how I came to that. Oh, well.

So, what am I doing while I'm typing this post? I'm downloading some software for my new (actually my aunt's) camera. I'm not quite sure which one it is. I've already got an installation disk from the broken digicam, but I can't use it because both the CD drives of the PC here and my laptop don't work.

And I'm just going on with stuff that even people at home don't have the patience to understand. Still, there are people who understand these kinds of things more than I do, so I'll stop pretending I know what I'm talking about and get on with the personal post.

Wait. Personal? Guess that's not what I wanted to post about right now. I might just get upset about something again if I start posting something emotive. Always avoiding these kinds of things. I might be generalizing, but I feel like this is what people expect from a blog of a 14 year-old high school student. There must be more to blog about rather than always something about emotions, how wrong you've been expecting too much from something and... There's a lot I'd rather not post about. I don't like being bogged down with negative feelings when I post. As if what I do offline isn't emotionally draining enough.

... Oh, no. I'm so dead for posting that.

Anyway, I was playing Guilty Ge-- enough with the geekiness that most of my audience can't relate to. I might just make a fool of myself blabbering as if I know everything about video games and digital cameras. Are those sort of things what distracts me from thinking a lot about feelings? Is it a bad thing to be preoccupied with that stuff.

PS: I'm writing posts in two blogs at this very second. The other one is in Livejournal and is private, though. Just plugging it here in case people might want to know (and add me as a friend there. I'm expecting too much, again).

PPS (How exactly do you use these things?): Something makes me feel like I'll regret posting this some time later.

Relief Valve... Again

Avoiding the blogging world again, eh? Not really. Went to the mall last Thursday afternoon after intramurals and getting my ATM card for clearance, and sleeping through Friday and this morning. So I really haven't been avoiding it on purpose.

Actually, I'm in a better mood to blog, now that we're "banned" from stepping into school grounds until Thursday. Now, I could do whatever nonsense I've been hoping to do until then.

Oops. Accidentally published this immediately. Let me continue.

...

Wait. What was I going to continue about?

Oh, yeah. What kind of madness am I planning to do before finishing my clearances for school? Sleep. Have my PS2 fixed and have a gaming marathon. Yay! I'll finally be able to play Atelier Iris II and Tales of Abyss which I got in the middle of the school year. Then sleep. Clean my room. Then sleep again. Water the cacti. Sleep again. Continue coding a layout for this blog. And sleep, again. Then look for things to do for the rest of the summer. Then sleep again. Basically, alternate doing things and catching up on sleep.

And what was I upset about a few weeks ago? Ah. Oh, well. Forget about that for a while.

It seems this isn't the end of the school year for me. No goodbye posts, no sentiments about the past year. I'm looking forward to Thursday, even though things aren't going to be the same as a regular school day. Leave the drama until the real end of the school year (meaning, once I get my clearances done). I've still got some work to do.

Broken beaker. Hooray.

And It Goes On...

The gates of hell have reopened. Hiatus has been lifted and I'm back to blogging.

So, what have I been doing while I was avoiding this thing, and why did I stop blogging for a while, anyway? Well, requirements. And I think no one's interested in the answer for the second question.

Ah, whatever. It was another one of my mood swings, those times I get frustrated when I blog, but it lasted longer.

Why am I frustrated at it? I'm supposed to love blogging. Yeah, I do. But not when...

And then some more stuff that happened while this blog was on hiatus.

  • I missed this blog's 2nd birthday last February 22.
  • I found out how to play around with the XML for Blogger beta. That means a new layout coming soon after months of delaying it to figure it out.
  • Also...


...not really in the mood for that right now. I'd really like to write, but I'm kind of exhausted from the first 2 days of clearance period. Doing almost nothing, then suddenly being required to do something is tiring.
