weekend blahs THE DICE ROLLED AT 08:45 PM Had another great weekend. Spent the entire weekend at the mall, playing IDAS with friends. It seems like an eternity since I last played IDAS, been buried with a lot of stuff, including work, meetings and tons and tons of paperworks. Stressing! Ugh. Playing IDAS again relieved me of all the tension and pressure of everyday life. Oh the joy that I felt when I realized that despite not playing for like a week (yeah that long!) of IDAS, my skills have not yet diminished. Come to think of it, we did improve a lot since we last played; our runs are much faster now, our turnings and handlings improved also with a touch of confidence and assurance.That observation was proved to be accurate when I tried battling other players who are far more “experienced” than me and my friends. And for some strange reason, I was able to win against them, holding my ground and winning with a huge lead. Probably the biggest highlight of my improvement was when I battled against a BL21 racer-chick -who was having a good time beating other racers arses at our local hangout and won! She was really good! She had the skills, the timing, the perfect rhythm and handling, the sureness, the fancy footwork, and to top it all that, she has a good car (a GDB) that really compliments her awe-inspiring skills. Oh plus the fact that her car has a really fast startup. And yet, amidst all the doubts and uncertainties I was able to pull it off. I won. Despite her great skills, she had one major flaw. She was using an AT. An automatic. That being said, she doesn’t use erasers or TST, nor does she manage her gears very well during the turn since she relies her car's system to do the shifting for her. Luckily for me, I was able to notice it early on and used that knowledge to my advantage. Had she been accustomed to a manual, she would’ve easily beaten me with an uberly huge lead. Too bad she didn’t opt in a rematch battle. I would’ve enjoyed playing with her again.Not that I’m assured of actually winning against her. There are no certainties in IDAS, just as there are no certainties in life. I really enjoy competing against other people who are far better than me. No, not just in IDAS, but also in other situations and challenges. I enjoy the competition. I’ve always enjoyed the competition. Some may call it stubbornness that borders arrogance, but in truth, I take such challenges as a learning experience and also as a testing ground for growth and improvement. It doesn’t actually matter whether I win or lose; to me, it’s the struggle that counts.Haha, well enough of that! I just got home na nga pala. After playing IDAS the whole afternoon, I felt the need to do some serious shopping and accessorizing. Hah! *goes crazy* Last Friday I got my monthly earnings and I had some cash to spare pa naman. Buti nalang at sale sa Megamall! Kundi nakuuuuu~Bought a couple of clothes, a new jacket (chickote worthy), and a really wicked pocket watch. Kewl! I love my new pocket watch. Really I do. I love it. I’m naming it Kalliope. Kalliope! *throws confetti* Well, that’s that. I’m tired na. IDAS and my impulsive shopping spree has sapped my strength. Kapagod. I need to sleep na and prepare some stuff for tomorrow. Got a lot of work and papers to file and examine pa. I'll be saying hello to my cold sentient desk come the morrow nanaman. Oh well... G'nyt world.Arrivederci. Reading: how few remain by harry turtle dove Listening to: remember the name Feeling: tired and sleepy |

birthday blahs THE DICE ROLLED AT 08:54 PM Today me and my twin turn twenty-four. When I think of how my life has been, I am more than grateful for being here & for having the people around me. I recall one question being asked to me by an old friend of mine, If you were to face your child self, what would you tell him? I can't say being 24 is different. I've only been 24 for a couple of hours. Besides, age is just numbers that count years [hopefully, years of wisdom gained & life lived rather than life lost]. May I be wiser, stronger, & bolder to face life's challenges. The past year was great. During that year I have experienced so many things. I have made mistakes colossal. I've been mugged and beaten up, my pride ruined, my heart broken. Events that has both humbled and inspired me to continue to move forward and continue the journey with faith. Encounters that has changed my perspective in life. I can't afford to stop, because I cannot know where I most wish to be right now because I have not seen all that there is. My journey continues it seems. I cannot afford to stop. Not now, not ever. This entry will serve as my farewell to the past. It’s a blow for a new beginning, and a beacon of new trials and hardships to come. I said it once, and I’ll say it again. Bring it on! With each passing day, I grow wiser, and with added wisdom, I grow stronger. --- Oh and other thing! Happy Birthday Kaye!!! I love you so much! ^__^ Listening to: birthday song |

yeyeye! Bedan Pride prevails! THE DICE ROLLED AT 09:17 PM Guess who went to watch game3 between SBC v PCU earlier? That's right! Me! ME! MEEE!!! Hehehe, despite draining my maximum allowable halfday tickets, I really decided to watch the deciding game. Oh screw the memo on Monday! Really! Screw the f*cking memo! ^^ Well, we won! Go figure. It was a great match! PCU put up a great fight. The crowds were cheering wildly, especially during the 4th quarter when the PCU dolphins rallied back, ending the 20 point lead advantage of the Red Lions, narrowing it down to a 1 point lead. Most of us were stunned by the momentum and pace of the PCU dolphins. The Red Lions suffering from foul trouble, made a couple of mistakes during the last quarter, not being able to hit the mark, and missing a couple of free throw attempts. Stunned silence enveloped most of the crowd, especially me, who was shaking with uncertainty. Like a fairy tale story gone bad! The last 24 second of the game was like hell when PCU got the ball possession at around 17 seconds, with Beda leading by only 1 point. Luckily, Beda's defense pulled through, the shot attempt hitting nothing but air. And that was it! Reds were cheering wildly, my screams lost in the screams of thousands. NCAA CHAMPIONS BABY!!! Hehe, it was a great game. I loved it. Especially the cliffhanger moment during the 4th quarter. Both teams did their best, both teams deserve to be in the finals. Sadly, there can be only one champion. And I'm glad that the courage of the Red Lions prevailed. So like I said, screw the memo - which I'm expecting to get this coming Monday, I'll just have to make up for it in the days to come. Hey! We won! It was worth it. |
