Dystopian Fiction: My Reflection

Ok, I know that dystopian fiction is the latest craze for book lovers (like me). There's always something that fascinates the audience about this genre of literature. Whether it's the environment, the characters, and even the way of living in the imaginary world coming alive from the minds of novelists, dystopian fiction never disappoints.

I know what you are asking. What's dystopian fiction? But before I can tell you that, let's read the definition of the word "dystopia".

A dystopia is a community or society, usually fictional, that is in some important way undesirable or frightening. It is the opposite of a utopia. Such societies appear in many works of fiction, particularly in stories set in a speculative future. Dystopias are often characterized by dehumanization, totalitarian governments, environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline in society. Elements of dystopias may vary from environmental to political and social issues. Dystopian societies have culminated in a broad series of sub-genres of fiction and are often used to raise real-world issues regarding society, environment, politics, religion, psychology, spirituality, or technology that may become present in the future. For this reason, dystopias have taken the form of a multitude of speculations, such as pollution, poverty, societal collapse, political repression, or totalitarianism. - From Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia

So there, dystopian fiction is all about enduring the life that is harsh, frightening and cataclysmic, mostly after a major catastrophe or a huge shift in society that defies normality that may be occur in the future.

So far, I have known two famous dystopian series, the Hunger Games Trilogy and the Divergent Series.

The Hunger Games Trilogy, penned by Suzanne Collins, takes place in a post-apocalyptic world of Panem, once part of North America. There's the regal Capitol, and then there are 12 districts which are poor, having to work hard for a living, each with a specialized field of labor. On an appointed day, as punishment for the rebellion mishap, one male and one female from each district will be chosen to become tributes, who will participate in the Hunger Games, a cutthroat competition that requires sheer will and determination to survive.

Then there's the rising star, the Divergent series by Veronica Roth. The story is set in dystopian Chicago, where society is divided into five factions, each with the purpose of cultivating a trait essential to the welfare of humankind: Abnegation, the selfless; Candor, the honest; Amity, the peaceful; Erudite, the intelligent; and Dauntless, the brave. During the ceremony, each sixteen year old must choose the faction that will become his or her way of life from now on, and pass the initiation that follows. If one fails, he or she will face the worst fate: becoming factionless.

For me, what dystopian fiction taught me is that no matter what the circumstances, you have to stay true to yourself, and fight for what you believe in. And that's why I adore Katniss and Tris. Plus, having a partner who will support you (Peeta and Four respectively) is an added bonus.

So, if you haven't tried that genre, it's never too late to start. You may get hooked, trust me. ^^

Real Life: Cybercrime Law - nothing to joke about

Ok, so we have ousted SOPA, PIPA and ACTA, three of the laws that would provide protection from piracy, stealing and cybersex, but at the cost of destroying the freedom of Internet users everywhere.

But sadly, here in the Philippines, the antagonist wins, and it's in the form of the Cybercrime law a.k.a Republic Act No. 10175

http://www.gov.ph/2012/09/12/republic-act-no-10175/

I know that piracy, art thieves and cybersex are such big issues, but this is just so damn ludicrous and over-the-top. I mean, come on, we should just focus on punishing those who run the operations, like the cybersex dens and websites that promote child pornography. Most of us are just enjoying downloading stuff that kills boredom, including episodes of our favorite shows and music, and now, we're going to get thrown to jail, just because of posting and downloading whatever we want??

As Internet users, we have the right to enjoy the services, but there are some customers who just love abusing it. Can't we just arrest the real culprits instead of getting the innocents involved in this mess? Things would be much better that way.

I can sense protests coming up... But for me, no thanks... I just hope the government reconsiders upon hearing the voices of the people and do the right thing.

UPDATE: Just added some interesting pictures. I just wanna share it.

Shared from Sen. TG Guigona's FB page, and yes, I'm with it

Brave words from Sen. Tito Sotto

RIP DILG Sec. Robredo (no joke)

Ok, so today is the death anniversary of P-Noy's dad, Benigno Aquino Jr, who was shot to death in 1981, 5 years before the dictator was ousted from the throne. 

But now, there was another death that shocked the whole Filipino population: the death of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) secretary, Jesse Robredo.

Before that, however, Sec. Robledo had one last wish: to catch the awarding ceremony of his child. That led to his decision to fly using his private plane, Piper Seneca, last Saturday. However, because of several glitches, the plane crashed onto the shores of Masbate. Since then, the search and rescue operations began.

The Filipino communities had prayed for his survival, even through social networking sites, but to no avail. His body was recovered this morning at around 8:15 a.m., inside the fuselage of his destroyed private plane. He was then transfered into a body bag by the Coast Guard.

As of now, his remains were now laid to rest in his beloved hometown, in Naga City.

Yep, such a sad loss indeed. First, the man who sparked a flame to start the EDSA Revolution, and now, a government officer who was never greedy for power or fame and simply doing his job.

May your soul rest in peace, Sec. Robledo.... 

American Idol Season 11: My verdict

EDIT: added a video. Feel free to see it. ^^

Throughout its 11 years of existence, American Idol became one of the most popular reality series worldwide. This season 11, it has become more competitive and fierce, with high standards and expectations. Indeed, the pubic had opened its eyes to the potential of contestants who have competed.

During each performance show, there are highs, such as Jessica’s rendition of “Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston. But there are also lows, such as the feedbacks about the imperfections brought upon by the judges. At the elimination nights, it’s always a heart-stopping moment as fans of each contestant watch in anticipation, hoping that their favorites won’t be eliminated. Everyone had their mouths ajar when Jessica Sanchez was declared the lowest and was in danger of going home. Thankfully, the judges had used their save on her.

Over the course of my viewing sessions in Season 11, my favorites had been eliminated one by one. Jermaine, the soulful gentle giant, was disqualified due to criminal records. I definitely pouted when Heejun was sent packing, and I was pissed when Colton’s dream was dashed, because he’s like the next version of James Durbin. As for Skylar and Shanon, it’s just ok.

The finalists: Philip Philips (left) and Jessica Sanchez (right)

Finally, Jessica Sanchez and Philip Philips were the last ones standing during the grand finale. I kept on hoping that history will be made with Jessica being the first Asian to be victorious on that show. But alas, the opposite happened. Philips became the grand winner. My reaction was indeed similar like last season, when Scotty McCreery was chosen instead of Lauren Alaina.


But at least, mine's not ballistic, compared to the reaction of a young kid shown in the video included in this article.

But let’s not forget that each contestant had put so much effort to make it this far. Sure, I’m disappointed that the Filipina didn’t get the top prize, but Philips deserved it as well. I’m sure the pawnshop he’s working on will soon been jam-packed with customers since he became a renowned star.

All in all, it was one hell of a ride. I hope Season 12 will be awesome as well (and hopefully, to have an Asian winner).

Well, now that it’s over, I must continue on my story projects. Till next time, folks!

Onee-chan, I still miss you - update

Continuation of this.


Until now, I still think about her. Months had passed since the last time I discussed about my older sister. My father sometimes called my relatives to check on her, but no news yet.


Finally, just yesterday, my dad talked to my grandma on the phone. After he hung up, I asked about what happened. He simply told me not to worry, and what he said next definitely shocked me to bits.


My sister is now working as an accountant clerk somewhere in Manila, much better than being a stripper. I was so relieved and happy at the same time.


Now, if only I can see her again...


Onee-chan, I still miss you, but I know you're in good hands now. Best of luck in following your dreams ^^

Real Life: of graduation and new beginnings

I finished attending my brother's graduation this afternoon, and it brought me back memories. I endured trying not to sleep, just to give respect to the people on stage. As I finally saw him receiving his diploma, I thought of mine, still encased in that red velvet covering with my medium graduation portrait beside it, and even the happy faces of my mom and dad.


We all know that graduation is entitled to the end of elementary / high school / college life and commencement onto a new phase in life. Parents are really happy that their kids finally reaped the fruits of their labor after working hard to pay the tuition fees. For the cream of the crop, especially the valedictorians / magma cum lades and salutatorians / suma cum lades, dedication with extra effort equates to greater rewards. But for the rest, simply having the privilege of getting the diploma would be enough.


But while graduating may be a good thing, it also means saying goodbye to the good times one has with his school peers. Although they may be able to still keep in touch, things will never be the same, especially when going on separate ways.


Never forget the lessons learned during your years of studying, not just the usual subjects, but real ones as well. 


Congrats, graduates! Hats off to all of ya! 

Onee-chan, I still miss you

The last time I saw her, she was leaving to the Bacolod-Silay airport for another year in college as a future accountant. My mom gave her some words of advice and good luck as I watched the airport come into view. By the time we stopped, she started boarding for her flight, and after some kisses and hugs, we parted ways.


Today's her 24th b-day, and I still haven't seen or heard of her yet. Recently, she became a rebel, committing the error of having a boyfriend before she could finish her studies so that her dream would come true. Afraid by what my parents and relatives would think about her boyfriend, she became desperate, hiding herself away from us. Finally, she ran away from home.


My parents were indeed disappointed about her. They had worked so hard to give her a good life, and they still didn't believe that that's how she would repay them.


Then I saw a scandal video on my cousin's cellphone, with her name on it. When I played and saw that something intimate is going to happen to her, I stopped playing, for it hit me like a rock aiming for my head. At least I knew one reason behind her sudden disappearance.


I became so mad at my parents for choosing to do nothing instead of supporting her effort to move on, and even for myself, for failing to do the right thing for her when she badly needed it.


Yep, it's indeed hard, but we finally talked about it, and I realized that... they still need to sort out before they're willing to accept her again. At least, that's a good start. As for me, all I could do is pray and hope she'll be okay, wherever she is now.


Ate Angeli, happy b-day... I hope you'll be back home to us. I miss you so much...

Letter Bee: delivering letters, connecting hearts + earthquake in Visayas

Even though we have texting and e-mailing as our way of communicating people, it wouldn’t hurt to send a hand-written letter. Letters are very appeasing due to their purpose of sending what the writer wants to covey to others. As for delivery, the mailmen are fit for the job.

Even an anime show focuses on the theme of sending letters in the form of Letter Bee (known in Japan as Tegami Bachi). But don’t expect normal mailmen; the delivery people are known as Letter Bees (hence, the title), working hard to send letters no matter what the circumstances. With their Dingo as their companions and armed with Shindan (weapons designed to hunt down Gaichuus, the armed beetles), delivering letters is just a hard day’s work for them.

Gauche Suede (left) and Lag Seeing (right)

The first few episodes focused on Gauche Suede, together with his Dingo, a white wolf named Roda. He was on his way to one of his deliveries when he saw a boy lying down unconscious, marked as a letter. The boy was none other than Lag Seeing, whose mother was sent to another place. Lag assumed that there were people abducting his mom. After seeing the address, it became Gauche’s mission to send him to Campbell.

Their first meeting was a little rough, since the boy often complained about the food as well as Gauche’s coolly, harsh behavior. After mistakenly holding Gauche’s weapon and its power went out of whack, Lag discovered his past, as well as Gauche’s true reason of becoming a Letter Bee. Gauche’s younger sister, Sylvette, couldn’t walk due to an illness and had to stay alone in Yuusari for a long time, and as a brother, he had to ensure that the hope of curing the illness stays intact.

During another fight with a Gaichuu, Gauche was severely injured and Lag had to assist him to loading his Shindan. That’s when the Letter Bee saw the boy’s concealed eye, which turned out to be a fake eye made out of red Spirit Amber. The Amber resonated with the Shindan, causing Lag to shoot the beetle’s joints with a red needle, effectively killing it.

By the time they reached Campbell, Lag stayed in a woman’s inn to watch over Gauche, whose wounds had festered. After being recovered, the Letter Bee finally recognized Lag as a true friend, and promised to look for clues about his mother’s disappearance when he reached Akatsuki. As they parted ways, Lag made a vow: to become a Letter Bee just like Gauche.

5 years had passed, and Lag set off to apply for his job. That was when he met the girl who would become his dingo, Niche, a young girl with hair that would become weapons, and his co-workers: Connor Kluff, the boy with a huge appetite; and Zazie Shrine, the boy hungry to kill Gaichuus ever since the day his parents were rendered comatose by them. But as he sets off for work, he discovered what really happened to Gauche: he was missing.

And with that, he starts his career, while hoping to find clues about Gauche’s disappearance.

Letter Bee is just one of the coolest animes ever created. The series ended with snippets about an anti-government organization, Reverse, whose main goal is reformation and equality of the society, as well as a revelation that would surely knock the daylights out of Lag (literally).

But don’t worry if you’re craving for more. There’s the sequel, Letter Bee Reverse, which now focuses on Reverse and how the Letter Bees cope up with the threat of Marauders, thieves tasked to plunder letters.

Speaking of threats, a 6.9 magnitude earthquake just struck Iloilo and some parts of Visayas a few days ago. Although I’m fortunate to be alive, the others were not so lucky, with broken buildings, brownouts, and innocent lives taken. Worse, aftershocks did occur.

One of the casualties... and yes, I'm not joking

Poor them… I hope my relatives in Bacolod are ok.

Anyway, that’s all, folks. Sayonara ^^

Switched at Birth: Living in someone else’s world

We all dreamed of living in some else’s world. It couldn’t be that bad, right? But what if it turned out to be a reality? Trust me; it’s more than just Freaky Friday in which two people had switched bodies.

It’s all about two girls living in each other’s family, the main focus of the family drama Switched at Birth.

The story is all about two families, the Vasquezs and the Kennishes, who discovered early on in the series that they had raised each other’s children. One of them is Daphne, a deaf girl who was a basketball athlete, and nonetheless still talking, while Bay was a rebellious gal with an artistic mind. Ever since their first encounter, things got complicated. Bay became so affected with thoughts of isolation that she went a little too far breaking the rules, especially when the gifted deaf teenager would soon become her classmate. On the other hand, Daphne wanted to prove that she could live independently, which left her legal single mom worried, because she was raised under her care, and she thought of the reactions normal people would think about seeing a deaf kid studying in a regular school.

But after understanding each other, their families lived together under the same roof, which turned out for the best. That was just the beginning of their story. Sorry, can’t spoil the rest, so you have to discover yourself through watching.

Truly, realizing that your biological parents are somewhere far away is a complicated issue. It had indeed brought a turn-around to your perspective of your life. But let us not forget that it’s all about understanding and unconditional love given by the parents who raised you.

That’s all… Stay tuned for my next entry!

Real life: Individuality

Ok, so most of you are wondering about my long absence. Here’s the reason, and it summed up to two words: no internet. Globelines had gone haywire for a past few weeks until it finally halted, and we’re getting very so cranky, so we had no choice but to endure the torture for a week. So there, I’m back now.

There, now you know, let’s go onto a random topic that I chose for this blog entry: individuality.

God created us unique. We all come from different walks of life, different races, different features. We all have our own perspectives of life, whether it’s good or bad. Even our personalities are distinguishable.

But sometimes, we tend to look too much on our own characteristics that we end up criticizing others, or worse, laugh at them. So what if we have our whole body and someone else got one part chopped off because of an unfortunate incident, and we just degraded them just because they’re incomplete? So what if we have beautiful skin and others got theirs burnt or marred with scars, and we just called them ugly? So what if we’re one race and a foreigner stepped onto our land, and we tend to comment on that person in such a racist manner? So what if most of us dressed up like princesses and others are in rags, and we just spat at them like crap? Even gothic people got rejected from society just because of the way they were dressed and even of their ideals.

All I can say is: JUST FIX UP YOUR NARROW-MINDED BRAINS AND GET OVER IT!!!

So there, just accept them for who they really are and treat each other equally. No one is perfect. There’s no such thing as a perfect lover, or a perfect book, or even a perfect piece of art. We all have imperfections. Yes, we must correct them, but don’t take away their self-esteem. Put differences aside and work together.

Being unique is not a crime; drill it on your head.

Well, that’s all for now. See ya on the flip side!

Real life: Bagyong Ondoy all over again!!!

(Note: this was made during the time I had no Internet. Had to have the modem replaced… ><)

Late Semptember of last year, Bagyong Ondoy struck my house in Pasig. The flood reached inside, but fortunately, its length was just under our feet. But we suffered from blackout for almost a week, and my aunt suffered from high blood pressure due to hot temperature inside. After the turmoil, everything went back to normal.

Well, they say history repeats itself, and this time, the recent aftermath of the current storm was at its peak in both Bulacan and Tarlac.

Flood level has reached almost beyond that of a human body’s. Families had to cope up with living in evacuation centers and when they want to take a bath, they had to settle with swimming on the surface of the murky waters. There was a lack of medical and food supplies (despite the best efforts made by various organizations), and people ended up getting sick with the usual weather-related diseases, especially LBM.

Worse, P-Noy was claimed to be MIA (missing in action) during the whole ordeal. Please, could you at least stop the blame?

I may be far from the places affected by the storm, but I couldn’t help but to sympathize with them. I have a Facebook and Deviantart friend who resides in Tarlac, and by the time I heard the news, I was indeed very worried. I hope she’s okay…

As always, prayer is the best option I can give to them. I still have a lot of old clothes which can hopefully be worn by those who had none. I may be lucky that I’m safe, but I have to keep on guard in case something like that would happen to my place.

Well, that’s all for now… Ciao!

Real Life: Unconditional Love

They say that in this world, love is always conditional. People always wanted to belong, to be appreciated, to be loved by someone else. Sadly, the truth is, we tend to be picky, wanting more of this and more of that in choosing who to love.


God has a different approach to love: unconditional love. He chose to represent Himself through Jesus, son of the Blessed Virgin, living among us. He had sacrificed Himself to save us from death.


If only people had learned to acknowledge the same belief onto others... But sadly, unconditional love is rare in this world, because people look on all the aspects of a person. Whatever negativity that exists, we disgust them, treating it like a disgrace. We all know that people must change for the better, but still, we must never forget that we must allow them to show it, one way or another.


All in all, love is the strongest emotion, but it's how it is used that counts.

Real Life: 9/11 - Tragedy at its turning point

Imagine yourself walking across the streets of USA, departing for your destination. You seem to enjoy your normal stroll, not caring about the traffic and the normal mood of citizens everywhere. Then you see people running away with panicked expressions and a crowd pointing at a place far away. Finally, you set the gaze at what they're staring at, only to have your jaw dropped at the sight.


The twin towers of World Trade Center disintegrating at the impact of a suicide plane gone mad was the first thing you see.






Yep, you got that right, folks. Today's the 10th anniversary of that tragic moment, the result of a terrorist plan going into fruition.


I may not know much about that event, but I could still remember the dreary atmosphere: people running away to avoid getting hurt, helpers rushing in to save those who were injured, loved ones crying their hearts out at the news of their death. It was truly a melancholic sight.


But in midst of tragedy lies hope. Various organizations came in for support and prayers, expressing the possibility of a peaceful departure to the innocent lives which were taken away by the cruel hands of death. Hopefully, that would be enough for their loved ones to realize that there are people willing to help them move on from the pain.


Not to mention that the crash site was also the spot where Americans celebrated the death of the  one behind it all, and thankfully, the towers were restored after years of repair.


Just a prayer would be enough to send all those pour souls into heaven.


Anyway, gotta eat breakfast. Later, peeps! ^^

Thank you so much, bablih! ^^

I would like to thank my dA friend bablih for drawing this cute chibified version of myself.


Here's the link: the drawing

Go ahead and visit her blog. Her drawings there were so cute, not to mention her Flyff adventures are included there also... ^^

That's all. Good night! :D

Reason for Hiatus...

Well, sorry if I haven't published anything recently. It's because I'm not that interested in GC anymore like I used to. And also, I don't have that much time in using the Internet now, esp. now that I have to focus on real life.


But still, I'll be posting from time to time if I have the mood, but not now, because I have so much stuff in my head right now. Well, see ya on the flip-side.

Real life: China's execution takes away 3 Filipino lives

Seroiusly, my mind was blown off when I heard about that news.

Three Filipinos were executed a while ago in China because of committing drug smuggling. The last thing I heard about it, the punishment was supposed to go on on a earlier date but was postponed due to some issues. Appeal letters were given by the Philippine government, but the Chinese still decided that the execution must go on as planned, because drug trafficking is a serious offense and the punishment must be given, whether one likes it or not.

During that time, families of the punished ones were in great turmoil, having to deal with the pain of losing a love one.  Seriously, I even saw a grandmother crying for hours, feeling so emotionally worn out. But still, I believe they had no choice but to accept the truth.


But while lethal injections were used for punishing criminals in China, here in the Philippines, punished crooks were instead given life sentence if found guilty, because we're in a Christian country and taking lives is really a no-no.


Truly, the issue of drugs just keeps on getting worse, with new products found to contain forbidden ingredients, illegal transporting, etc. Let the punishment serve you as a reminder to those who dare to try using illegal drugs, especially those with risk of endangering a person's life.


As for the souls taken away, may they rest in peace.

Real life: Japan in danger of radiation leakage

Damn, the catastrophe in Japan just kept on going, as if the earthquake and tsunami weren't dangerous enough.

Two nuclear power plants were currently in haywire not long after the tsunami that submerged most of the country. The cooling system was badly damaged due to the earthquake that rumbled two days ago, leaving the core in danger of overheating and on a verge of meltdown. The US sent a coolant in order to alleviate the threat.

But unfortunately, the worst had already occurred.


The Fukushima no. 1 power plant had already exploded.



By now, radiation would slowly contaminate the country and people would suffer greatly from its effects.

The recent explosion and the radiation aftermath was one of the worst to ever happen in history ever since the Chernobyll explosion in Russia and the Hiroshima / Nagasaki bomb threat in Japan during WWII. Countless lives were claimed and many people got contaminated by radiation. You wouldn't want to picture yourself in those situations, would you?


I know help is still greatly needed for victims to recover from the catastrophe. As for me, all I can do is pray for them.


And so I close the talk. I hope this will serve as a change to make a change for the better.

100th post - Real life: Tsunami in Japan: A jaw-dropping catastrophe

Woah, I never thought this will be the 100th post on my blog until I checked the number of post I had made through my dashboard... *sweat drops*

Anyway, since this is really the 100th post, I'll devote that to the latest incident that shook (or in this case, drenched) the whole world to the core: the Tsunami that left Japan in ruins.



A while ago, I heard the news about the tsunami that swept the land of the rising sun in waves, submerging most of the country with water mixed with debris and other foreign stuff. But before that, an 8.9 magnitude earthquake shook the country hard, leaving most of the buildings and roads deteriorating from the impact. In case of the tsunami, roads became flooded and people and vehicles scrambled for safety. Airports and train stations had postponed their operations to avoid further damage and telephone lines were scrambled, making communication very difficult, although Internet connection was possible but only for a limited time.

But the tension didn't stop there. Twenty countries were given tsunami warnings with a possibility of them becoming affected. The list of countries under the warning include Indonesia, Russia, New Zeland, Hawaii, Australia and even the Philippines.

It was stated that the tsunami would probably hit the Philippines between 5-7 pm, specifically in areas on the eastern side of the country. But still, there may be a possibility that it will happen after the specified time.


During these times, having a calm and alert mind is a must, as it will help in deciding what to do to avoid casualties. Panicking is the worst thing to do, but still, many people couldn't help but to feel worried about their loved ones, especially those living in Japan.

As of now, relief help was given to the victims to provide comfort and to ensure survival. Prayers may also help to make sure they're safe.


Yep, as one of my former classmates said, one should not take the earthquake / fire drills for granted, as it may be helpful for the future.

That's all for now! Bye!

Real life: Saving the best for last + GC: Zero's 2nd job teaser

Well, I just finished watching K-ON!! episode 20 a while ago, and I still remembered the part after the school festival performance wherein Yui and the rest of the Light Music Club felt as if everything happened so fast in a blink of an eye. Then they started talking about their future plans, until they all got emotional and began to cry, because they just wished they wouldn't leave their beloved school. After all, they (except Azusa) were already seniors and were going to graduate soon, so the school festival would be their last event.

Believe me, the school festival performance was the best event for them, and they'll never ever forget about it.

There's a saying that goes "Save the best for last". It means that before a moment ends, there must be the most amazing events going on. Those events would serve as trademarks or highlights of that moment, ones which would always leave a mark in their lives before the curtain closes without any chance for an encore.

Yeah, very poignant, but still, one must cherish those moments like they are his or last moments.

After all, life's too short... :D

By the way, I just checked the Grandchase.info blog, and discovered that Zero's 2nd job will be coming out after a few weeks in kGC. Not much info yet about it, but this teaser pic may intrigue you (from the blog).

Well, Cow mentioned that Zero's 2nd job name is Craver, though there's a possibility that it may change once it's finally released.

My first thought when I saw the pic was "WTH? Zero looks good in that outfit!" But I noticed that Grandark still remained the same. The eye mask does look cool on him, though.

I hope that after that, Mari's 4th job and ST will go next (though I have to wait a little longer).

That's all for now! Arrivederci! ^^

Tomorrow will be my great day!

Tomorrow will be my 18th birthday, and so, I have a list of things to do on my trip to Bacolod:

- Play Cabal (either level-up or skill-grind my Force Shielder, OR dust off either my Force Archer or Force Blader)
- Continue watching Pokemon Advance Battle (on the 'net, that is)
- Watch Kuroshitsuji / Black Butler ep. 3 (I missed it due to my late grandma's birthday)
- Buy GAME! magazine (both the December and January issues... ^^)
- Purchase "The 39 Clues" (either Book 6, Book 7 or the Big Black Book of Buried Secrets) OR The Hunger Games Trilogy (the paperback boxed set)
- Pig out! ^^

These are just some of the things I will definitely do, but the plan may change depending on the schedule and important stuff to do.

Anyway, that's all for now... Bye! :D
