Running Away... Part 2

Discrimination... one of things I hate most...

But for me to be not be able to do something about it...

Makes me worse than being just another one...

January 5th... another chance to escape...

But not for good...

Plans for next year

1. Pumunta ng Japan
- Hindi talaga to dapat kasama pero dahil nandyan na, isama ko narin.
Sana lang ay hindi ako gaanong mag-tagal dun this time... :D

2. Mag-abay para sa kasal ng pinsan ko
- First time ko to kaya excited ako sa gagawin ko... :D
Not counted yung pagiging ring-bearer ko nung bata ako.

3. Pumunta ng Davao
- Bibisitahin ko lang yung classmate ko nung high school.
Sana lang ay matuloy ito... dahil officially wala na akong
Christmas break... :( Sinong gustong sumama?

4. Mag-ipon at mag-invest
- Kailangan ng maging seryoso sa pag-manage ng pera...
iiwas na muna ako sa gastos... subukan ko yung government
bonds na sinuggest ni Sir Gonz.

5. Mag-aral ng nihonggo
- Hindi ko sigurado kung kakailangin ko pa ito pero kung
may time naman gusto ko rin sanang matuto... :P

6. Kumuha ng Linux Certification
- Kahit medyo hirap talaga ako makahanap ng time para
makapag-aral, sana lang ay makakuha din ako ng exam bago
matapos yung taon... :)

7. Mamuhay ng mas marahan
- Medyo naging fast paced ang buhay ko recently, gusto ko
dahan-dahanin ng kaunti... :)

8. Maging mas close sa mga friends
- Medyo malabo talaga to, pero try ko na din... :D

Suggestions are welcome... :D

Code 7-0-7

Code 707... Ito yung code ng school ni Shinji Ikari sa Neon Genesis Evangelion.

2000003707 - Ito yung ID number ko nung college.

Room 707 - Ito yung hotel room ko sa Tokyo Inn nung nag-stay ako sa Japan.

Wala lang... He he... :D

Random shots...

Hulaan niyo kung saan to?

Ang sakit ng paa ko sa kalalakad... :D

Visit sa Uste

Got my break from work at last... :D

Earlier today, I went to see my H.S. friend in order
to give him the anime magazine that he asked me to
buy from Japan... :)

Then went to SM San Lazaro to meet up with my
College friend... but he was not replying to my
text messages so I just decided to watch King Kong... :)
It was nice... :D

Probably my last movie for this year and next month,
since I'll be leaving again for Japan... :( and :)

I've missed quite a lot of movies this year...
these are the films that I wanted to watch:
1. Red Eye
2. The Island
3. Sound of Thunder
4. Chicken Little
5. Harry Potter 4

And looks like I'm going to miss several more...
The first on the list is... Underworld: Evolution... :(

Anyway... after I had my lunch, I went to UST
just as I have promised... but it was quite early
when I got there... my main purpose is to take
pictures at night... he he...

So I had no other choice but to sit there and wait,
tried walking around and noticed a lot of things...
a lot of changes...

1. Christmas Lanterns along UST High School

Here are some pictures...









Pero ito yung pinakamatindi sa lahat...

Side View


Rear View


Front View

Tsk tsk, patay kay Jas yung gumawa nito... he he... peace... :)

2. There's a new building in front of UST Central Library,
it's still under construction though...

3. Remember this place? Yep, that's coop... which is already gone.



4. New building at Engineering Complex... Soon



5. McDo sa loob ng USTE??? Whaaaaaat???



After hours of waiting, walking... and waiting...
The christmas lights were opened... yehey... :)

This is what I've been waiting for... good thing
there are no or just few people around... which
means I can freely make my shots... :D

Here are some pictures the I've taken during
the night...

Trees of light... he he... :D


Fountain of Knowledge


Fountain of Divine Wisdom


Arch of Century


Giant Christmas Tree 2005


UST Grandstand


Main Building taken from the UST field


Cross at UST Main Building


I was the only person in the UST field when I took this...
I think... he he... :D

That's all for this day... still feels empty and boring though...
good thing I was able to use my Camera again...

Merry Christmas to All!!!

Bwiset...

Hedgehog's Dilemma

The hedgehog's dilemma states that the closer two beings come to each other, the more likely they are to hurt one another.

- Wikipedia

He he he... :D

Headache...

Habang ako'y pauwi sakay ng LRT...
Biglang may lalaking hinamatay sa
may kabilang pinto... narinig ko na
lang ang isang malakas na kalabog...

Marahil ay nabagok ang ulo niya sa
floor ng LRT... ouch!

Binitbit siya nung mga guards papunta
dun sa platform na tinatayuan ng guard.
Sinusubukan nilang gisingin yung lalaki
habang umiiyak sa likod niya yung kasama
niya na malamang ay asawa niya...

Umalis na din yung LRT kaya hindi ko alam
kung ano na yung nangyari after...
Sana ok lang yung lalaki, kawawa naman yung
maiiwan niyang pamilya...
magpapasko pa naman... :(

Kaya ko ito inilagay dito ay para ipaalala sa akin
ang kahalagahan ng aking kalusugan. Lalo pa't
panay ang OT ko nitong mga huling araw at
lagi din akong kulang sa tulog...
Medyo madalas na rin ngang sumakit ang ulo ko... :(

Sana umabot pa ako ng new year... he he... :D

Enough...

Need to stop this... before it's too late... :D

Paskuhan 2005

December na naman... may Paskuhan ulit sa Uste... :D

Too bad I wasn't able to get there on time to witness
the fireworks display or I should say... "tuition fees getting
burn in the air"... he he...

It's been a while since I visited my alma mater...
A lot of things have changed from my last.

The pay parking have been converted/transformed to
a commercial area, may Ice Monster, Dimsum tsaka
kung anu-ano pang kainan.

I was expecting to see some familiar people, former classmates
perhaps... pero sa dami ng tao... that's an impossible task.

Tried walking around... saw my high school batchmate.
He's finally graduating this year and plans to go to U.S. after,
sabi niya wala daw magandang opportunity dito... kung
ako na nga lang daw, maliit lang daw yung sweldo...
paano pa siya?... medyo masama yung dating sakin...
oh well, iniwanan ko na lang... he he...

Went to the Arch of Centuries, may mga ilaw narin yung mga
statues doon sa mga fountains...
May mga christmas lights din lahat ng mga puno...
Halatang bumabawi from the previous year... :D

Pero mukhang mas malaki yung budget ngayon,
Maski yung giant christmas tree... he he... puno ng ilaw... :D

Just wondering... Magkano kaya inaabot ang power
consumption nun? ... :P

Anyway... sa aking paglalakad, wala akong nakitang kakilala.
Some familiar faces, mga classmates ng kapatid ko... :|

Since, wala din naman akong kasama... so I just went to
P. Noval to visit an old friend... yung may-ari ng computer
shop na tambayan namin during college days... he he...

Nag-lalaro sila ng DoTA... gusto ko sana sumali kaya lang
may lakad pa ako kinabukasan...
Umalis na ako after matapos yung 98-minute game nila.
It's really nice to some old friends... :D

Sayang nga lang at hindi ko dala yung camera ko...
astig pa naman yung setup ng UST... he he...
Babalik siguro ako dun before the year ends to take
some pictures... Sana mag-kafree time ako... :(

Senseless...

Wala na naman akong maisulat na makabuluhan...

After a week... binuksan ko na din yung
Gundam Seed Destiny Complete Best CD/DVD
na binili ko sa Japan for 4,200 Yen

Cool, dahil bukod sa Audio CD and DVD, may mga
stuffs pang kasama yung package...
Although medyo useless pa siya since wala din
naman akong maintindihan dun sa mga laman
kasi Japanese eh.

Did not much today... medyo tinatamad na talaga
akong mag-trabaho... maski late na ako umuuwi,
pakiramdam ko parang wala akong na-aaccomplish
by the end of the day.

My productivity level seems to have dropped to
a critical level...

Hope that I'm just tired...

Tired...

Staying more than 12 hours in the office 6 days a week
is not something that you could ever be proud of... :(

Malas...

Malas... :|

Last blog sa MK Office

Pwede na daw kami umuwi... according to Tanaka-san,
Buti na lang at na-fix yung bug na nakita this afternoon... :)

I've also received some alarming information from
Tanaka-san. I was told that Aoyagi-san requested that
the VSGW Simulator team members to continue their
support and maintenance of the project until July next
year.

He also showed me the new organization structure for
the project. I just became the Project Lead out of nowhere.

I wonder what's gonna happen next?

It would surely be a long and bumpy road for me next year.

What if...

:p

10 Things...

10. Yukata
- Makes me feel... Japanice.

9. Coin Laundry
- As long as you don't get locked inside, it's really convinient.

8. Electronic pot
- Keeps me warm every morning. Cooks my cup noodles as well.

7. Hotel C.R.
- Even if it's really small... the bath tub works, and the washlet rocks!

6. Salad
- Part of the Bento meals, really nice since vegies are seldom served.

5. Karage Spice
- Powdered spice for Karage Chicken Bento, my usual dinner.

4. Tokyo Tower
- Never entered it but undoubtly one of the best structures in Japan.

3. Akihabara
- The coolest place to check out new gadgets and toys as well.

2. Yoshinoya
- Informal Japanese fast food restaurant. They're everywhere and it's affordable.

1. Trains
- Instant access to anywhere around Toyko. Somehow I enjoy traveling even if just by myself.

Last day...

I'm still up because I was waiting for a
groupmate to arrive... Fortunately she was
able to reach the hotel by herself... :)

We're planning to go home early today but
Tanaka-san did not allow us to... :(

So we left the office almost 10PM... again...
But 'later', we'll make sure that we can
leave early since we still have to pack our
things... :)

It has been a month since I've been here...
I really loved the place, somehow I feel
comfortable living here...
Or maybe just trying to escape from reality...

Ho Ho Ho... :P
