I'm going to do this post shotgun-style since I need to play RF Online ASAP. It's a x3pt & x3DropRate weekend, so bear with me ^^; I'll try post again on monday most likely at my Linux Class.

First weekend after last post: Recollection from saturday morning to sunday morning. The confession and the sharing was particularly enlightening, and I enjoyed the overnight stay, most especially since I was with Joy & our classmates for an extended period of time. That doesn't happen often, and it did call for a few shots from a smuggled half-bottle of White Wine (cleverly hidden in a bottle of C2 ^^; ).

The week afterwards: Its the reckoning of Planar Chaos cards, and I'm not impressed. There are obviously powerful cards, there are a lot of crap (as usual), but I don't like it when wizards screw up the color pie like this. I mean, black wrath is good, green draw is good, red akroma is understandable, but not one, not two, but four playable counterspells across White, Black and Blue? Sh*t. >_<

Last Thursday: Intrams. A/S Soccer team ended the Eng. Department's stranglehold on the Soccer Trophy after 16 years. ^^; Yeah! Anyways, that's the only thing I remember about that...

Yesterday: College Day. (Did I spell that right?) It was a very...normal, albeit more packed, college day. A couple of comedians and a sponge cola concert afterwards, and me my berks (Tropang Gaius™) went to our house to discuss what's what. They ended up spending the night in our family area while discussing which cards to hoard and a torrent of jokes about love-interests and stuff. -___- Anyways, I need to post this now, I only have a few more hours before the x3 Pt wear off...so Ciao for now!

I can't go to the prerelease. It's our recollection. ~_~ I really want the cards in my wishlist! T_T Here's a peek!

I WANT FOUR OF THIS!!! ~_~

And here I am again, fine tuning my M:tG Decklist. I scrapped my Walk the Aeons deck (I'm not sure why I tried that variant), and continued improving on Katsuhiro Mori's decklist. My playtesting is showing solid results - 22 Lands is not enough. So here's my current list:

011507 ~ PickleTron

4x Adarkar Wastes
4x Boreal Shelves (Should've been Hallowed Fountain T_T)

4x Urza's Mine

4x Urza's Powerplant

4x Urza's Tower

2x Urza's Factory (Upped the alternate wincon by 1)

1x Azorius Chancery (No Prahv, It's in the sideboard Jun. Don't Worry. ^^)

1x Vesuva (No Academy Ruins, Since I don't have Trisk)

---

24 Lands

2x Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir

2x Vesuvan Shapeshifter

1x Brine Elemental (The Trisk wincon is now a bit more comple semi-stasis lockdown. It's weaker IMO, but I'll try it still.)

---

5x Creatures

4x Compulsive Research

4x Remand

4x Azorius Signet

3x Dimir Signet (Prismatic Lens DOES NOT work. But I'll try Spectral Searchlight.)

3x Wrath of God (Four is overkill and clutters my first seven.)

2x Faith's Fetters (I want to squeeze one more though...)

2x Think Twice

2x Annex (I saw this on Mori's "2006 The Finals" winning decklist...)

2x Spell Burst

2x Mana Leak (I'm not sure about this slot... Mori has Tidings here...)

1x Careful Consideration

1x Mystical Teachings
1x Repeal (Utility removal)

---

31 Other Spells

The sideboard's situational, but this is my deck right now. I'll try to get some Tidings next time, and squeeze a couple of Faith's fetters (Although I'd like to playtest Temporal Isolation too). Oh and Btw, here's my:

Planar Chaos Wish List!

@White -
4x Dawn Charm (1W;Instant;Common;Choose one - Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt this turn; or, regenerate target creature; or, counter target spell targeting you.) - I love 2cc Counterspells that can save my creatures and myself from lethal damage... ^^; Definitely a 4-of in my deck!
?x Voidstone Gargoyle (3WW;Creature-Gargoyle;Rare;Flying,As Voidstone Gargoyle comes into play, name a nonland card.The named card can't be played.Activated abilities of permanents with that name can't be played.Activated abilities of cards with that name that aren't in play can't be played.;3/3) - Holy Sh*zz, it's Meddling Mage + Pithing Needle! I need at least one of this in my deck!
4x Mana Tithe (W;Instant;Common;Counter target spell unless its controller pays 1) - What's better than a 2cc counterspell? a 1cc Counterspell! A timeshifted Force Spike is still a Force Spike. A powerful card, to be sure.
4x Sunlance (W;Sorcery;Common;Sunlance deals 3 damage to target nonwhite creature.) - Not sure why though... ~_~

@Blue -
?x Body Double (4U;Creature-Shapeshifter;Rare;As Body Double comes into play, you may choose a creature card in a graveyard. If you do, Body Double comes into play as a copy of that card.;0/0) - Again, I'm not sure why, but this card has potential. I'd need four in a deck though...

@Black -
4x Dash Hopes (BB;Instant;Common;When you play Dash Hopes, any player may pay 5 life. If a player does, counter Dash Hopes.Counter target spell.) - It's a lose-lose situation if you're using a Rakdos Deck ^^;
4x Damnation (2BB...Do I really have to write this? It's a freaking Wrath of God!) - Duh.

@Red -
4x Blood Knight (RR;Creature-Human Knight;Uncommon;First strike, protection from white;2/2) - Huge potential. Anything with Pro-White has HUGE potential.

@Green -
I guess I'm giving most of my Green Cards at Jun, so I don't have a wish list for it. ^^; But Magus of the Library (GG;Creature-Human Wizard;Rare;T:Add 1 to your mana pool,T:Draw a card. Play this ability only if you have exactly seven cards in hand.;1/1) is one powerful Control Card... I guess I want a playset of that...

@Multicolor & Lands
None.

I guess that's it! ^^; It's time for my next class, so Ciao!

A few hours have passed since my last post, and here I am at Software Engineering Lab 2 at my Linux2 Class. I have no idea what to write here yet, but unfortunately, I'm a bit inspired today. I hope dad can get my PC fixed by tonight, and I really hope I can advance my character in PH-RFOnline. I got a back-to-back passing grades in Linux2 Prelim Lecture & Laboratory exams, no biggie, but Joy still has a higher grade than me because of her quizzes and a a higher Lecture grade. ^^; I know, It's useless to compare myself to her - she doesn't have a bloody hobby (Except Noel), so I guess she spends her free time studying.

Sooo unlike me.

Anyways, I hope to see my inspiration this afternoon, and I really wish I can get some info on her. I even chanced by the library this morning, just before my Linux class, hoping to catch a glimpse, but she ain't there. Asa pa ko. That aside, It's really damn cold in our classroom. There's only seven of us here, and three ACs on full blast. I'm bloody shivering.

Oh, I almost forgot - I got my date for our annual TorpangGaius™ Group Date! Guess who? No, not the mystery girl, but my lovely bestfriend Grace! I don't want to ask my inspiration on a date (yet), mostly because she might not be who I think she is. What do I mean? Here's a cute little text message I got from Grace (Which I promptly forwarded to Aubrey ^^) -

She used 2 b so swit & evrythng.
Seemed so nice wen we're 2gether..
but sudenlt evrythng changed.
Now, do i miss her?
No..i miss hu i thought she was...

A fair warning from my bestfriend - and I will give it the consideration it deserves. ^^

I saw her, and my heart skipped a beat. I saw her smile, and my heart just stopped. I thought I would never feel this way again after 'my first', but I guess she proved me wrong. *sigh* Really, the last time I felt this way was with...well, Grace. Yeah, I loved her more than just my bestfriend for a while, but she really needed someone to fill the void left by her father, so I guess I tried my best. I really loved her, to the point that I'd rather not be her boyfriend because I know I can't make her happy all by myself - she deserves someone more than just me. So I became Grace's bestfriend. But right now, I feel freaking in love to this girl...

Darn it, I don't even know her name.

I saw her last at the library, and she was with her classmates. I don't know her course, but if had to guess, she's from the A/S department. She was wearing a pink jacket, pink bag, pink glasses and pink watch. I guess she likes pink, and yes, she has glasses. ^_^ It looked really cute on her. *sigh* I guess I'll just have to go around asking people again. I hate it when I don't know something.

Anyways, my PC's busted again. The power supply broke down, and I'm using my father's laptop right now. It has a very annoying keyboard and mouse, but I guess It can't be helped... I'm still experiencing this lapse in my behavior since my last post, but I think I'm recovering. At least I submitted my assignments on AI this time. And did I mention that for the first time, I got a passing grade at P.E.? ^_^ Yeah, It was pure luck, but I'm quite happy at that quiz though. I guess that's all, I don't know when I can post here again because of my schedule, but I'll try. Until then, Ciao!

Simple is good.

by ~LantisGaius

I miss you still
Through all this time
You left me all alone

We used to talk
We used to laugh
But now our friendships fading fast

I miss you
I care
And yes, I'll be here for you.

----------------------------------------------
This piece is a nod to ~averagejane’s poem... [link] I was suddenly inspired when I saw her work, and this is the outcome. It ain't my best work, but it's still a good piece in my opinion. I really liked her poem, I was somehow touched… Oh, and the title's a shoutout to Ne-Yo's So Sick (ExGF Edition) ^^; Hehehehe

Mood: Not so good.
Music: Smile at me, by: Rocksteddy
----------------------------------------------

I was a bit late this morning at my first class, and was really surprised when I found out right then that we’re having the Laboratory Prelim Exam at Linux2 after 5 minutes. Good thing our professor, Mr. Rivera, was kind enough to let us open the Linux Workstations in order to solve the problems. I got stuck at the part where I need to go down the directories because I forgot the command (It was ‘cd ..’) but aside from that, it was thoroughly easy.

Noon came, and I skipped my SPW class because…well, I don’t really know. I just stayed at Mary’s canteen for a while, and next thing I know, it’s time for my constitution class. Where I got a 73% on my prelim exams. What the fuck’s happening to me? I can’t focus on my studies, I don’t have a stable M:tG deck right now and my mind is full of crap. What the hell was I thinking when I tried out that stupid Walk the Aeons deck? It was as far from competitive as I can think of! A very mediocre pile of cards to be sure. I wonder what’s causing me erratic behavior…

A few hours went by, and my Operating Systems class came by. Here, I fully expect the MP (Machine problem) that Mr. Rivera was supposed to give. Yup, you guessed it; he rescheduled the Laboratory Prelim Exam of my OS Class, throwing my schedule off. You see, I’m supposed to meet with my bestfriend (Grace) at about 1:30pm, but since she got out of the house at about 3:00pm, I’ll just have to meet here after my OS Prelim exam...which I expect to finish quickly, maybe at 4:00pm or so. But unfortunately, Mr. Rivera postponed the exam, and went on with the lecture – meaning, I got out of the classroom sometime after 5:30pm. I didn’t get to chat with Grace for more than a few minutes, and all I did when I was with her is to try apologizing about my stupid schedule… she said she didn’t mind, but still… I’m really pissed about the events that happened. After that, I got home early and here I am now, typing…

*Sigh* I’ll try to post something here again, but I really want to sleep early, so that this day can end. So, I guess this is goodbye and good night...

This two pieces of fine literature really explains my situation right now...All the pain and tears, everything I'm trying to hide - That I'm still struggling with too much emotional baggage. I hate this feeling, and I'm desperately running away from it because it really hurts... Anyways, here's the pieces along with their authors.

Naghihintay (Link)
By: Jacob

Kelan bang makikita ng iyong mga mata
Kelan bang maririnig sayo na tayo na

[refrain]
Huwag mo akong sisihin kung ang lungkot ng aking damdamin
Bakit di mo akong subukan suyuin…suyuin

[Chorus]
Naghihintay, kahit parang wala pag-asa
Handa na, maghintay kahit pa may’ron kang iba
Bahala na, naghihintay ako na ika’y makasama
Kahit na, naghihintay
Kahit parang wala na

Bakit ba di mo buksan ang iyong mga mata
Nang ang oras natin ay di na masayang pa

[repeat refrain]
[repeat chorus twice]

Huwag mo akong sisihin
kung biglang sumuko ang damdamin
di mo kasi ako pinapansin

Suicide and Love doesn't mix
by: ~jazzyspazzy

Lying on the floor
Wishing I had died
Praying for those words
I should know will never come.

You'd been hurt before
But I've been hurt
(and worse)
My heart has healed
And it wants you
Something yours will never do

I see you
and I smile inside
I leave you
and I die inside

The way my heart stops beating
The way my chest starts heaving
The way I cry
"I hate my life"
The way I suddenly realize
The only way to survive
To close my eyes
Pull the trigger
Bring my life to a tragic end.

Gazing at you from above
My eyes fill with tears of love
They spill down upon your face

I wish I could be that tear
The one last time I could touch you
Instead of feeling my heart break

Searching for you at my funeral
Knowing that you won't be there
Seeing you, so far away
I wander over
Stare at you
To finally hear the words
I've always wanted you to say:
"Oh god I love you."
"Oh God I miss you"
Then I suddenly realize
The only way to survive
To turn away and say good bye
Is to think of how I had to die
For you to say you loved me.

A lot of nothing happened since my last post. At school, we just waited (in vain) for our professors to show up, or when they showed up, discuss among ourselves why on earth are we doing nothing. ~_~ On the Magic side of life, more nothing. Miki no longer has debts on me, though I still owe boogie a Thelonite Hermit. Btw, If you noticed above, I'm dropping the ~Ic stuff. Yup, this blog is now solely mine. I really cannot find the time to create the story, less likely the characters for it.

I'm not myself tonight. Maybe because I woke up just this 2:00 in the afternoon, or maybe it's because of the very nostalgic background music (Naghihintay, by:Jacob), but as you can see, my writing sounds off. Maybe I should have picked another day to rewrite the header of Incarnum... Maybe I shouldn't have posted here tonight. I still haven't fully recovered from my headache last time.

Anyway, my bestfriend (Grace) texted me last night about being her audience helper or something at this local tv gameshow called 'Deal or No Deal'. I hate gameshows, and from what my mom told me about this show, we might just end up fighting in the end, so I declined. I'll be there, yes, but only as a normal audience. *_* What else...my guy bestfriend (Juner) wanted me to post something here about TropangGaius™ (Just look at my CBox), but I'm not in the mood right now. I'll just have to quote Roy on this one: 'Remand! Maybe next time..' Sorry Jun.

Hmm... I guess that's it. I'll try to post something else later, but don't count on it... ~_~ Ciao.

Mood: My head aches...
Music: chOOSe mE or Die, by:Tommy febuary6
----------------------------------------------

My head hurts. My forehead's throbbing like it's gonna burst. Just above my right eyelash. T_T Darn it. Anyways, here's a quick rundown of what's happened. I'm downloading .Hack//Roots for my little bro (He's playing the PS2 Game version of the anime), and I've purchased crappy (but full length) DVDs of R.O.D. and Basilisk, both anime's of high caliber. I just wish I can watch them sometime...

Another thing:
Yup, I'm currently playing as SaffiEriksdotter in Ph-RFOnline; a Bellato Crossclass Mystic-turned-Vigilante. I just job changed last night, and my Holy Pt's driving me nuts... 3 more to go until Expert Skills are open though... And 23 more before Elite skills open up... -__- darn it... I need sleep. Did I mention how my head hurts? It's like hell. Only more gory and stuff. Maybe it's because I spent the whole night playing RFOnline. Or maybe the alcohol I drank is finally taking its toll.

I got permission to go to "The Reunion" with my best friend, Grace. I didn't expect to see 12 gals from my high school and only me, Sam and Zoren as the lone guys. But half of them are enough eyecandy, so I decided to come along...Until I felt horribly sick. I felt damn cold since we got to the venue (Monte Vista Resort) at 7:00pm or so, and all went downhill from there. I got a bit agitated since my best started teasing me to make me go to the swimming pools (Kung I-huhug kita, swimming ka? Kung I-kikiss kita, swimming ka?). It was vexingly annoying. A few hours more, and I was left alone with Zoren and Apple, who also didn't want to swim. Only my best knew that I'm sick, but she discovered when it's 3:00am in the morning, when I started drinking beer to get some heat in my blood. I also ate a very big midnight snack at Max's, just to stave off the incoming fever. I don't want my grace's barkada going all worried over me, so I just drank a beer at a corner.

Until Zoren found out. He and Sam pushed me to buy a Gran Matador brandy from the resort (costs a whopping 160.oophp, good thing there were three of us). We expected some of the gals to take part in the drinks, but unfortunately, they'd rather immerse themselves in the hot pool. So, that left me, Sam and Zoren and a bottle-full of brandy. Oh, Apple and Amor was there too, but they only provided idle company. The discussions was nice, and the alcohol flowed like water in the slides. Fortunately, I was still myself when morning dawned. I think Sheryl is mad at me because I started the the drinking at her reunion, but that aside, it was refreshing.

Any event with me and my best friend there, and it never fails to be refreshing for me. ^^; I wish she were here though... My head is really throbbing....

Umm..what else... Christmas and New Year passed with me being really happy. I don't know why, but grace just have that effect on me. I just love being near her, chatting nonsense. Ummm... what else... I finished Robert Jordan's Knife of Dreams, the Eleventh Book of The Wheel of Time. Classes just resumed today, and our 2nd meeting in Electromagnetics ended with my head reeling like a top. I can't keep my vision steady after 3 long hours of Vector Analysis and Dot Product and Cross Products and Cramer's Rules...

My head hurts. I have a lot to do. I want to play RF. I wish can watch R.O.D and Basilisk. But enough whining. I'm happy. Believe it or not, behind this accursed headache, I really am happy.
^^; Hehehehe

Ciao, for now!
