i... i think a high schooler tried to hit on me today.
i was at a family party, and i was hanging out and playing video games with some of my younger cousins. some dude that i've never seen shows up in the doorway of the room, smiles at me, says hi. so, whatever, i say hi back. and then he's all, super smiley at me, and sort of doing that leaning thing? and he goes "so..... you go to school around here? :3"
he might as well have been saying "so... come here often? ;)" like we were in a bar. how textbook. XD
so i went "yeah. Cal State University LA." and that shut him up nicely, since he's. like. a high schooler. i'm a little out of his age range. ... i think. i hope, holy crap.
also, i have no idea why he was at my family party. i've never seen him before, and i'm pretty sure i know all of my relatives who are that age.
... anyway, yeah. random thing that both amused and confused me.

so. like. FANIME WAS FUN-TIMES. even though we seriously didn't do a whole lot outside of artist alley. and the one time we considered it, we knocked out in the room before the thing actually started. :3a;;;
so now you all get the quickest run down of the con EVER.
thursday:
SINGING IN THE CAR IS ALWAYS FUN. especially when it's to Disney music.
friday:
PICKING UP PK AND THEN ARTIST ALLEY. and poor attempt at Ranma cosplay, which was eventually switched out for Ed. i made friends by chasing Jimmy around the artist alley for pulling my hair. i apparently have a new bruvver-thing? also, i picked a fight with either Rough Nut or Tough Nut from How to Train Your Dragon. :> it only ended because i didn't want to crush their awesome-looking shield with my boots. so i totally won that, dammit. <_<
... i don't even remember what happened after that. at some point my hair was chopped off. :3
saturday:
MOAR ARTIST ALLEY! 8D and... i don't think we cosplayed anything. but that was okay because I HAD SHORT HAIR and it was exhilarating. *3* AND i had a moustache~ also, Davie makes an epic Vega. i got a hug. i swear the top of my head is level with his nipple. it was awkward, but sweet. :3
also, WHY SO MANY RANDOM RANMA COSPLAYERS. and WHY DOES EVERYONE COSPLAY MY FANDOM WHILE I'M NOT. O.o;;
sunday:
EEVEELUTIONS. OMG SO MANY PICTURES WERE TOOKED OF US. i also saw some friends from my old university (
spwinkles and
kate_andy , I'VE MISSED YOU GUYS SO MUCH) in their Princess Tutu cosplay, which was random, but amazing. :D
i also had some personal drama, but that was eventually settled.
monday:
hoooooooly crap last day. >_O so much hectic packing in the morning! and then random Caesar appearing during Artist Alley cleanup, which required glomping of that bearded lady. :3 i just found out today that he and his roomies must've set some kind of record for damage payments on their room. miscellaneous beer and alcohol stains on the sheets, as well as vomit stains and who knows what else... they had to cough up $2000. ._____.;;
EPIC DRIVE DOWN WAS EPIC. MOAR DISNEY SINGINGS WERE HAD.
BUT ANYWAYS. the cosplaying was super fun, even if we generally didn't leave the artist alley at all. xD so i wanna do more cosplay stuff! Panda said she's trying to make a Tsubaki cosplay, which made me go "I'LL BE YOUR BLACK*STAR" and now i'm looking for good wigs and stuff for that. also, i still want a Sora costume to derp around in. >_>;; someday. SOMEDAY. also! Jen and the sisters and Panda and everybody did well at the artist alley! moneys was made!! which was super exciting. and i feel quite compelled to participate in artist alley next year. :3
oh- speaking of next year! i promised zully that i'd do the artist alley booth with her, because i know zilch about business stuff and she knows lots. plus, it's an awesome excuse to sit around and do almost nothing with her for like. 8 hours straight. XD with how rarely she gets to come visit, i've gotta take advantage of it, y'know?? and some of my other friends apparently wanna come next year too, so- who knows? i mean, it's still an entire year away....
...
sob, i already miss it :C
WHY SO COOL, FLUFFY?

z-zombie jesus day??
Apr. 4th, 2010 09:36 am okay first of all? Easter is... such a confusing holiday to me. i guess that probably just stems from the fact that i wasn't raised to celebrate it in any shape or form. all i know is that it has something to do with chocolates, eggs, and bunnies, and that it used to have something to do with Jesus. and apparently that lent thing, the 40 days of giving up something awesome, is related to easter.
LOOKIT ME, I'M LEARNING. 8D
...... also, i'm bored. you know what that means??
I'M DRAGGIN' Y'ALL DOWN WITH ME.

Mar. 11th, 2010 09:42 pmhere's the thing. i know my sister means well by amassing massive amounts of leftover food into the fridge. she does, after all, have to provide food for me somehow, and that's the best way she knows how to do that, since she's not in the apartment for 4-5 days a week. but i would think that, after living with me for several years straight, that she's realized that unlike her, i don't like eating leftovers. i never have. it's just... gross to me. i don't know why, it just is.
she also has to realize that i'm no longer home as much as i once was, so i have no reason to not be able to get food for myself somehow. i'm not sure how exactly she expects me to eat all the food that winds up in there within the one week that it remains good when i'm not home most of the day. even if i did like leftovers, i'm not capable of packing that shit away as fast as she can.
i just think that if she really wants all that food to get eaten? she should also be here to help out with that.
...
and then there's the part where she makes me feel bad about it. yes, i know it's a waste. yes, i know i said i would clean up. yes, yes, yes, i understand all that. and yes, i know that i need to be nagged in order to get anything done. but does she have to do it with that tone of voice? that one that sounds like she's so terribly disappointed in me? that absolutely reeks an air of "God, you suck at life"? that makes me feel like such a horrible person? y'know, i'm not the one who never comes home. our situation at the moment basically stands as follows: she pays the rent for my apartment in exchange for the right to use the same as a closet. so why does she still feel the need to try playing disappointed mother on me? she's never here. what does she even care about how i live?
i get that she wants me to learn how to do shit the same way her boyfriend did. initiation through fire or something, right? but- well, maybe this is a big shocker or something, but... i'm not her boyfriend. knowing full well exactly how i grew up, she honestly thinks i'm gonna figure out how to do all this on my own? i get it, i'm spoiled. time to wake up, sleeping beauty, and learn about the real world.
yes, my oh so very independent boyfriend's a good influence. and i get the tough love bit, i really do.
but... sometimes? i kinda wish i had my sister back.

Mar. 8th, 2010 02:21 amstupid... messed up sleeping schedule...
so my laptop's charger has gone mad and i had to order a new one. and i've had to resort to using my sister's laptop in the meantime, since i don't want the battery running out too quick. but i'm kind of screwed for homework, since i can't exactly plug my tablet in and use flash on battery power. it'd run out too fast, and that is, of course, a no-no.
also, Tim is awesome for lending me his 360 again, but it looks like he forgot to put Tales of Vesperia back in the case. i shall have to remind him, silly boy. ; 3;
aaaaand on another note. the old posts on
fm_edelric and all related journals and comm posts were amusing me hardcore this evening. i like to think my RPing skills have improved since that time, though i do sorely miss getting Ed tortured and messed up. it's... kind of sad that i wanna do stuff like that again. also- seriously, why on earth did i ever think that journal name was clever. it's so... meh. XD;;; it feels like i was using that journal a very long time ago, but- 3 years... technically isn't that long ago. i hope everyone's still doing well. i miss you guys :3
... okay it's 2:20AM, which means BED TIME. *fatterwacks it to sleep*

oh! also!
school + part-time campus job + weekend internship + church volunteering = when the hell do i get to do my homework?
... okay it's 2:20AM, which means BED TIME. *fatterwacks it to sleep*
so like. i took my behind-the-wheel driver's test this morning!
.... 8D;;;;;
YEEAAAAHHHHH, that went... interestingly.
i didn't make too many errors, actually. i was even able to do that backing up thing just fine! but one of the mistakes i made was accidentally turning into the wrong side of the street in a residential zone. y'know, those areas where there are no lines dividing the lanes? yeah. that. i was making a left, and i stayed too much on the left turning in. which was, y'know, bad. as in, auto-fail bad.
but whatever! it would've been amazing if i'd passed the test on the first try. XD so i just have to go back in and do it again someday. no worries, i think. at least i generally know how to drive, and i'm not that bad at it. it's not like i was speeding or failing to check for pedestrians and stuff like that.
in my defense, though? i was freaking nervous as all hell. i was taking the test near freaking downtown LA. i have reasons to be worried!
next time? so gonna take it somewhere nice and peaceful. :P

Nov. 12th, 2009 01:00 pmd... damn you, LucasArts. and damn you TellTale Games. damn you for resurrecting the point-and-click game love of my life in such a wonderful and beautifully rendered fashion that i cannot for the life of me turn away.
four words, ladies and gentlemen: Tales of Monkey Island.
... no wait- i lied. there are some more words: Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition.
*shakes fist* my gaming love. my adventure gaming love! how my heart throbs when i play it! how my funny bone is endlessly tickled! how my ears love to drink of the epic talent that is the cast of Monkey Island! how my wallet yearns to empty itself and succumb to your effervescent glory forever more, to the dark murky depths of the ocean and back again!
that said. I'M OFF TO PLAY IT SOME MORE. LATER. >3
but first! something completely different:

Oct. 9th, 2009 07:51 amsoooooo... i came up with this idea. i decided to make this, like, guide thing for if you wanna introduce Fullmetal Alchemist to somebody, and they're lazy to read the manga. since the storyline for the manga/Brotherhood is better overall than the original anime, that's the one you oughta show. but since the beginning of Brotherhood is so rushed because the original anime already covered it... well, this oughta be the way to do it.
( try to show the episodes in this order... )
... yeah, i'm weird. v_v;; i wanted to do that. part of me even wants to go so far as to edit all this video footage together, MERGE IT ALL INTO ONE, but... yeah, lazy. and- that's so time consuming. D:

Aug. 14th, 2009 06:15 pmsince getting back to Manila, i've kinda really badly wanted to go visit my school. not the spruced up campus that i graduated from, but the old one. the crappy as hell one, with its peeling paint, and the red flooring in the hallway that for some reason always rubbed off on my shoes. the one where i ran around as a kid, that i'd known since i was in the 3rd grade.
we passed by it one night, one of the first nights we were here. me and my sisters all tried to get a peek at it. they both had their final years on that campus, after all. but it was raining, and it was hard to see since it was so dark. we still tried to sneak a peek anyway.
the place that we knew... it had been there for a long time, even after we had to pack up and leave for the new place. it stood there forever, even by the time i was graduating from the new campus it was still around. some kids from my graduating class went to visit it and take a look around that year. they made a video of it and put it up for all of us to watch. my graduating class was the last one to stand in that campus as high schoolers.
it had been a really heart-wrenching video to watch, even then. moreso for those of us who'd been there longer. and just seeing how the field was overgrown, its grass too tall, trees even growing up out of it... and the gyms, crammed full of old furniture that hadn't been brought to the new place. stray dogs wandering the abandoned hallways, layers of dirt and dust caked all over the floors and walls...
it had only been 3 years since we left it at that time. now it's been... what, 7? 8? and when me and my sisters went by to get a look at it...
it's finally gone. there'd been this construction site right by the campus that hadn't finished in forever... well, now it's finished. there's this mall or something and its parking lot right where it used to be, as well as right over where most of the high school classrooms had been. those old hallways, the gym with the pool, maybe part of the cashier's office... all just built on top of. like they were never there. like they hadn't mattered to anybody. the rest of the campus was closed off by one of those under construction walls, and it was easy to tell that on the other side there was nothing.
nothing. just rubble.
the sign said that a bunch of condo buildings were supposed to pop up there, right over all the places where we'd each spent the equivalent of so many years of our lifetimes. people were going to live on top of our school memories. the building was no longer around for us to pass by and get hit by waves of nostalgia. ...no, actually, we'll probably still feel it. but it'll hurt a lot more than it would if the place were still up and running.
and all three of us just sat there in the car, motor still running, staring at where a construction barrier had taken the place of an entrance gate. a gate where all of us had waited for hours for the car to come rumbling in and take us home through 2 hours of Makati traffic.
it was so... unreal.
i kind of wanna go there again, just to see. it'd be nice if i were somehow allowed past the barrier, just to really confirm that it was all gone for good. to wander through the rubble and think about what it had once looked like. to imagine it as it once was. to remember it. but then i'm also scared that if i do, then it'll just make those memories fade faster.
memories are so weird like that.
