Number of Nodes in Metatron's Cube

:: Entry #13 - Still so busy... ::
~Ooc: Headlines
----------------------------------------------
Music: Sexy Love By: Ne-Yo ft. Ms. Candace Jones
Mood: Terrible
----------------------------------------------

Darned. It's already sembreak and I'm still so busy. I'll elaborate later, on seperate posts, since my mom's pestering me again. What's up? Hell's up. And I'm not so sure where's down either... I feel like I drank ten shots of Vodka last night...

Anyways, What's coming up:
~Ooc: Academics (ACM and whatnot)
~Ooc: Joy (Long delayed, and thus many many updates to Joy Blog)
~Ooc: Tech (More Gilmore)
~Ooc: Tech (Jigoku Shoujo)
~Ooc: Tech (Review of Office2007)
~Ooc: Magic (Latest decklists)

Btw, since many people are asking: ~Ooc means out-of-character, while ~Ic means in-character. I'm refering to the Incarnum stuff I keep pushing up my schedule. When I'm writing about Incarnum it's normally on ~Ic. When I get to it. ~_~ Oh, and did you notice? New template! But this is just temporary though, I'm looking for something more... futuristic. I still have to fix the LECOMELEC Software and clean up the LCA Website mess, as well as submit my final project on World Literature (Yes, If don't get that project done by tommorow, I'm toast.) ~_~ Good luck to me...

Jupiter's Lysithea

:: Entry #12 - Seven Days pass... ::
~Ooc: Headlines
----------------------------------------------
Mood: Kinda Confused
Music: Smooth Criminal, by: Alien Ant Farm
----------------------------------------------

My head is still ringing from everything...I have to concentrate on my ACM training though, so no time to go all confused... Darned. I hate Eclipse, I hate Java, I hate ACM, I hate them all. My head is still ringing from everything that happened since the training started. So, I managed to pass everything but World Literature's Blue Book. I'm kinda worried that I'm getting a failing mark there, but I need to prioritize before I worry. First things first: ACM. The International Competition is due this Friday, and we still have long ways to go in order to get a win. Raffy and Me forms quite a mean team (In terms of Algorithms), but we need a coder. Juner can't do that, he's quite a newbie in terms of Java. His first Java app was a simple date reformat program. Joy didn't finish hers, but still, she can keep up.

After that...Well, Juner found out that his deck isn't really competative. 4x Ohran Viper + 4x Call of the Herd would really toughen it up, as well cost him a huge sum of money. I'll post more things later, I need to wrap up my long overdue LCA website. ~_~

Music: Doo bidoo by:Kamikazee
Mood: A bit tired, but I'm good.

Hahahaha. I just found out yesterday! I really am over her! I stayed with her and Emil inside the Kasambahay, and I didn't feel anything terrible! I was a bit disgusted about Aubrey and Emil's 'lovetalk', but still, I'm good! I really am! Heheheh

Anyways, I have a Joy Blog post to write a bit later. I expect to be able to install the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 this afternoon, and I'm really looking forward to continuing Jigoku Shoujo... As Enma have said:

"
O miserable shadow clad in darkness!
Hurting and disdaining people,
a karmic soul drowning in sin...
Would you try dying for once?

Desperate

~Ooc: Literature
----------------------------------------------

Desperate
By: ~LantisGaius (101206)

How does love feel?
What does it mean...
Why do we love?
Is there a reason?

I lived for a while
and I will die in a bit -
I have journeyed far
just to feel this 'Love'

Why does people look for it?
To also sate their curiosity?
To be able to understand?
Or to be understood?

I thought I saw Love
Just a glimpse, Just a peek
I marvelled at her beauty
but is this true love?

How do you know,
How would you compare -
Is this feeling truly 'Love',
or is it just purely lust?

They say to 'Love' is to be happy
that Love is right
but why do I doubt?
but why does it hurt?

Is love real?
Is it just a figment of imagination?
a haven for dreamers,
just a glimmer of hope?

Yes, I am desperate
for I feel I'm being left out
How can everyone talk about love?
Why is it, can I not relate?

----------------------------------------------
Prove to me that love exists. ~ Me

Time Spiral

~Ooc: Magic
----------------------------------------------

*WARNING: Major Time Spiral Spoilers ahead!*

So, Umezawa (From Kamigawa Block) is the cause why Nicol Bolas (An Elder Dragon who's also one of the most powerful and oldest Planeswalker) was trapped at the Talon Gates without a body. He's effectively haunting the site. Remember the Haunt mechaninc from Ravnica block? Oh, and Karn was also mentioned near the end of the book. And also, Teferi of Zhalfir, just lost his spark. Yes, he's no longer a planeswalker. Planar Chaos is the next set's name, to be released at january '08. I think a certain Jitte might make it there... ~_~ Darn. It's like Betrayers of Kamigawa all over again...

Btw, I brought a Fat Pack (1,600 pesos worth of crap). That's where I got the Time Spiral Novel by Scott McGough, and I think it's not exactly a prime piece of literature. The narrative was long winded and boring, too much description and telling, not enough showing. Anyway, I kinda hate how he wrote it. The contents of the 6 boosters contained within? Nothing good. Here's the rares:

1x Restore Balance
1x Living End
1x Evangelize
1x Spectral Force
1x Flagstones of Trokair
1x Swarmyard
1x Soltari Priest
1x Avoid Fate
1x Honorable Passage
1x Nicol Bolas
1x Ovinomancer
1x Moorish Cavalry

That's that. Pile of crap... ~_~ Btw, I'll post my decklist here later, with a full 5 game review. ^^;

Mood: I'm not okay
----------------------------------------------

Right now, I'm writing a lot of things. The journals I listed a couple of posts back, the ~Ic stuff and some tasks and contacts at MSOutlook'07. There's also a lot of Academic things I need to do, namely the SPL take-home exams, the CoArch Document and Presentations and the World Literature Blue Book. Oh, and I also have a Lecture Exam tommorow on Digital Electronics, a Digital Schema to pass and lots of people to talk to. Aubrey, Emil, Joy, Justine, April... Darn it. Oh, and the LECOMELEC Software needs to be revamped too. The system's too unstable, and there's too much spaghetti code I don't even reconize it. Btw, I'm going to Ateneo-Manila in order to attend at an International Programming Competition with Juner Hart Legion and Raffy Cardeno. And I need to pass an assigment at Advanced Mathematics and a report at Instruction-Level Paralellism at CoArch this tuesday.

*sigh*

So, good morning to all, and a very happy birthday to my mom. ~_~ Ok, my head kinda aches, and I'm sitting at the middle of the ACM Training Session at the ITCC. I hate the space bar here, really. And the computers doesn't work normally.

*A few hours passed, a few Magic games afterwards... *

Ok, that's done. I need to go home, since it's my mom's birthday. It would'nt serve me well if I got there late. There's something about Noel though, Joy's Boyfriend and one of my old friends. I think he's angry at me. I'm am starting to try and befriend Joy a bit since bad blood is quite thick between us since last semester, and I kinda felt guilty about my agendas. I think I need to talk to both of them. And to Aubrey, Emil and Justine. Oh, and April too. Darn. I'll explain why later. Maybe tommorow. Ciao!

Music: Me and You, by: Cassie
Mood: Still Empty
----------------------------------------------

My Filipino mock-Thesis Defense sucked. I kept staring at my teacher when she asks a question because it takes a few seconds for my mind to process her language (It was in tagalog, the native language) and to construct a sensible and tagalog answer. At least the Pascal Reporting at SPL (Prof. Vincent Rivera) was quite successful. I almost thought we wouldn't be able to finish that darn report... ~_~ What else... Oh. Crap. Here's a "Table of Contents" of what I'm planning to write here:

~Ooc: Joy (Yup, a new label. Guess why? ^^)
~Ooc: Magic (About my Fat Pack, and my new Decklist)
~Ooc: Literature (A new self-composed freeform poem)
~Ooc: Literature (About McGough's rendition of Time Spiral)
~Ooc: Tech (The Honey & Clover Review)
~Ooc: Tech (Gunslinger Girl Review)
~Ooc: Tech (Microsoft Office 2007 Beta 2)
~Ooc: Tech (My website ^^)
~Ooc: Life (Something I saw from friendster... [Link])
~Ooc: Life (Another one from friendster... [Link])

There. Lots of things to write. Unfortunately, I feel really sleepy after watching 13 full episodes of Gunslinger Girl nonstop since 2:00pm up 10:30pm, so I'm gonna sleep. ~_~ See ya tommorow. Heheheheh

Music: None. Silence.

So, guess what? The website competition I told you last post? Well, I kinda won. Yes, my supremely bland website won the freaking competition. I'll post screenshot later. Anyways, I'm really cramming here. I need to finish my Filipino mock-Thesis Tommorow, and the SPL report is also due tommorow. I also need to work on the Lecomelec Software. Darn it, so many things to do, so little time. *sigh*

What now? I'm kinda tired and sleepy... ~_~ There's nothing else to say. Nothing in my mind, nothing in my heart... I'm kinda dead right now....

So, a lot more birthdays happened today, Joy's and Mattet's. Nope, I don't care about the guy's birthdays, only female are mentioned in this blog. btw:
Well, guess why? I'm still groggy after yesterday (I only slept one hour, skipping my first subject) because of the freaking Filipino mock-Thesis. I hate the Internet Technology Lab's keyboard. The space doesn't function well. Also, the LECOMELEC is making my life hard. I just quit but I'd still have to submit a working election program. More problems. I know, I wrote happy birthday on the title, but I'm not happy. Well, I guess my all of my happiness went with my last Happy Birthday greeting (To my beloved bestfriend). *sigh* I'm tired. I wanna go home, but I still another subject to go to. Stupid lit. ~_~

Reminisce

~Ooc: Life
----------------------------------------------

Last September 10, two days before my birthday, I dated Ms. Birthday Girl (My Bestfriend (Grace)) on Alabang Town Center. It was very fun, and although it bordered on disastrous, we really enjoyed it. Let me recount the tale:

I overslept. I woke up 10:00am, and I'm supposed to meet Grace at 12:30. On Binan. Quite a lot of miles away. So, I got out of the house sometime after 11:30, and told my best that I would be late. It didn't sit well with her, but what can she do? ^^ First mistake: I didn't realize that the Jeepney (PUJ) I was on didn't have any 'Highway' signboards up. Meaning, I went through the city propers of Cabuyao and Sta. Rosa before going though the City proper of Binan. Which is a short walk away from where were supposed to meet.

Anyhow, I met up with best sometime after 1:00. We got on an FX, and half an hour later, we stood on Alabang Town Center. Second Mistake: Check the Movie Schedules BEFORE the date. Nothing was showing. At least nothing good. Nothing that interest me nor Grace. Oh, and Third Mistake: Emphasize that since the date's after lunch, you need to have eaten some lunch before the date. Grace ate a late breakfast, but still, she hasn't eaten a proper lunch, so I took her to eat somewhere.

Did you know how expensive it was to dine at Friday's? I asked her where she'd eat and she turned around and there it was, so we went in. A few minutes later (After a glimpse of their menu...) we went out. It was freaking embarassing, but we laughed it off. We ended up eating a clubhouse sandwich and a sansrival at Gerry's downstairs. We order unknown drinks only to find that it was laced with alcohol. LOTS of alcohol. Just perfect. We then started talking about our lives...about her and lee breaking up, about me and aubrey and my stupidity. Lots of refreshing little things. It was a nice change of pace. Soon, It's 5:00pm. So, we went off to the next mall! ^^

At Festival Mall, I checked the Magic stores to see what's up, before we settled on the cute little coffee shop at the food court. Another hour passed while we chatted, and then it was time to leave. The trip back home was uneventful, and I bought her a Toblerone as a parting gift.

The date has many flaws, but for us it was near perfect. *sigh* Happy birthday, Bestfriend!

Deja Vu.

A Purpose-Driven Life

~Ooc: Literature
----------------------------------------------

I'm currently reading Rick Warren's A Purpose-driven Life. I thought it was a self-help book, and boy was I surprised. It was very very theological. It makes me question my long standing beliefs (Here and Here). Its a really great book, and the writing are so well done, Its refreshing. I highly recommend this book to everyone who's spiritually deprived and lost in life. That ryhmes. I also recommend it to my close friend Edwin, but I don't know how to give it to him.

He's becoming an aethist. I wonder I spelled that right. But anyway, my friend Edwin's on a False Path. I wish I can help, but I can't. He's really tight-lipped about personal matters. Just look at his writings here. I know, they're wonderful pieces of literature, but the message is quite true.

*sigh* I hate it when I know the problem but can't do anything about it...
----------------------------------------------
That's a lot of links. Very Emo post too. And I just love BoA's Long Time No See. ^^ Happy Birthday Bestfriend!

Anyways, Back to buisness. Still lots of things to do, most of the things I mentioned last time is still on the works... And there's classes tommorow. I don't know if that's good or bad, but I need a few things ready before tommorow. I love BoA's Long Time No See. I really like her voice there. And my Incarnum ~Ic Stuff needs to be done. I'll be back in a bit, I need to finish my Filipino mock-Thesis. ~_~

Oh, and Happy 19th Birthday Bestfriend Mary Grace De Guia! ^^

Decklists galore...

~Ooc: Magic
----------------------------------------------

My Black/White Rebirth is quite a powerful deck, so powerful in fact that I think it has a higher chance of winning tourneys than my soon-to-be Thallid Deck. Anyways, I'm posting both decklists here, though I'm seriously doubting that I'm gonna continue the Thallid.dec

//Rebirth.dec

//Lands (21x)
11x Snow-covered Plains
6x Snow-covered Swamps
4x Mouth of Ronom

//Creatures (13x)
4x Adarkar Valkyrie
4x Martyr of Sands
3x Children of Korlis
2x Walking Archive

//Spells(26x)
4x Proclamation of Rebirth
4x Faith's Fetters
4x Condemn
4x Mortify
4x Castigate
3x Grim Harvest
2x Sunscour
1x Sacred Mesa

There. The finished Rebirth.dec, although I'm really feeling he lack of sunscours (Or Wrath effects). I think I'll swap the 4x Faith's Fetters for 2x Sunscour and 2x Angel's Grace and swap a Children of Korlis for a Sacred Mesa before calling it a finished product. Oh, and also a couple of swamps for a couple of Snow B/U Tap lands, just in case I need to pump my Walking Archives... Darn it, It look quite powerful with those rare cards... Anyways, Here's the other deck, the projected Thallid.dec, although I really feel the lack of Wrath effects so I'm reconsidering if the deck's worth it's weight.

//Thallid.dec

//Lands(22x)
11x Forest
10x Swamp
1x Pendellhaven

//Creatures(20x)
4x Thallid
4x Deathspore Thallid
4x Thallid Shell-dweller
4x Sporesower Thallid
3x Thelon of Havenwood
1x Savage Thallid

//Spells(18x)
4x Sprout
4x Sudden Death
4x Putrefy
2x Fallen Ideal
2x Verdant Embrace
2x Shielding Plax

There. I've got a Thelon of Havenwood and the Set of Putrefys right now, so all I need are a couple of Preconstructed Decks straight from the stores and it's done! Simple and easy. Darn it, I wish Black or Green has Mass removal of some kind, cuz Silhanna Ledgewalker and Giant Solifuge would own this deck quickly and easily (Not to mention Simic Sky Swallower). *sigh* I wonder what kind of deck's gonna be on the Tier 1 post-Time Spiral...

Two straight days without electricity. *sigh* I thought I'd finish James Clavell's Shogun before I'd get to a live computer terminal... Anyways, the storm went and passed, our feathers were ruffled a bit but like any Filipino, we'd rebuild and carry on. Darn it, that storm knocked off powerlines for a couple of days. So, what the hell's up? A lot of things to do.

First is my Filipino Thesis. I can write the thesis tonight and be done with it monday, but unfortunately I need to do it in freaking tagalog. Darn it, It'll take me a lot of time to finish the darn thing, but I think I'll manage. Next up is my Pascal Report due on wednesday, then the quintessential LCA Website that I keep on forgetting to pass. Lots of things academic, since my social things have gone and past. I'll post my current and later deck on Magic CCG later, then resume on my Incarnum things in a bit. But right now, I need to get a few things in line... *sigh*

Oh, I almost forgot, the Software Expo (In which I submitted a really bland CSS-based Website about chinese astrology...) is supposed to be held last thursday and friday. Right above the freaking hurricane and black out. I suppose its been postponed, so wish my bland websites good luck!
