Erm.. I just need to push other entries to my archive, that's why I'm making this. Haha!

These are things that I've always wanted to have and to.. do. But some are just there for the sake of having motivation to at least acquire them someday, somehow. Financial constraints, time constraints, declining resolve, waning determination are just some of the hindrances in obtaining these things.

So the list goes...

• Blue wig/s - for cosplay, duh. I'm not sure what character I'm going to use it to, but it's worth having a stock, just in case
• Red wig - Madam Red... haha, feeling ko naman kaya ko.. but I guess it's worth a try
• New black wig - for Ryuutarou! Argsh, honestly, the one I have here is crap.
• Long silver wig - erm... they tell me to cosplay Zero Kiryu, but meeh, I don't think he's the only silverhead existing
• tripod - for my cam, yeah... to pursue the art of "photography" in which I so suck
• Speedlite
• Macro lens - because I'm a sucker for close-ups of nature
• moar plushies - to bombard my new shelf, haha!
• tripen - Zebra or Pilot, I don't care. I just need to have a new one because we're required to have one.
• Junjou Romantica - /the/ manga. Nuff said.
• yaoi doujins/yaoi manga

Okay, so most of them are for cosplay since I'm currently exploring on the said subject. I know, I know, I'm such a noob; there aren't even really decent cosplays I had, that's why I want to at least know the basics and the resources to be able to pull off a character I'm supposed to portray. I know there aren't lessons or anything of the sort in books or the net, that they're basically based on experiences--trial and committing errors, but still.... I want to at least have fun doing so and to gain friends who share the same interests as I do.

Maybe that's what I've been wanting all this time--to be able to have people whom I can share these interests with, have fun while doing them, to be able to forget miseries and the pains in life.

Gaah, so emo. So cheesy. Please excuse me while I blow this snot off.

I must fight the urge.

I woke up in a city still groggy from last night's festivities. I'm still lazy, so I'm posting my 2008 reflections in a "soorbey"!

1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before?

Deep sea diving

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

I didn't make any

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?

A lot, mostly schoolmates from the Math Dept. Maybe the Calculus 50+ series is kinky, I dunno.

4. Did anyone close to you die?

No. Not yet...

5. What countries did you visit?

Ala..

6. What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008?

A healthy budget for my documentary experiment

7. What dates from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

Cookout 08. Filmed my debut mini-film which was edited roughly but it was okay, I guess. Watching people react to the videos was just exhilarating.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?

Achieving a grade averge which qualified me for a C.S.

9. What was your biggest failure?

Not trimming down.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?

Something akin to bipolar disorder.

11. What was the best thing you bought?

A Nokia 6500 slide, steel casing, which I really needed because I tend to be very destructive when I'm pissed.

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?

My grandfather, whose near death experience made him more jovial and less grumpy.

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?

A friend whom I can't be completely honest to anymore for fear of being labelled as an antagonist again. The consequences of this individual's actions were mostly negative and I don't know if that person noticed. But I'm zipping my lips. Shall ignore negativity nalang.

14. Where did most of your money go?

Books and DVD

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?

My Pater coming home from the States, but I got disappointed.

Dana Fuch's version of "Helter Skelter"

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:

a) happier or sadder?

A little bit of both.

b) thinner or fatter?

I didn't gain additional inches but I didn't lose any either. I am still my pudgy self.

c) richer or poorer?

I was horrified by the "one-day-millionaire" habits of some of my friends, so I saved more bucks. I splurged every now and then but everything was within my budget.

18. What do you wish you’d done more of?

Painting

19. What do you wish you’d done less of?

Ruminating

O.o

22. What was your favorite TV program?

Pushing Daisies!

23. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?

Yes. My prof. who handles my PS 176 and 178 classes. She's cool but her approach is sooo technical and post-grad, nakaka nosebleed. She makes me want to ressurect Marx just so I could kill him myself.

24. What was the best book you read?

For this year, "The Island of the Day Before" by Umberto Eco

25. What was your greatest musical discovery?

For this year, Xandria. I love them.

I spent it in a watering hole in the dark regions of Kamputhaw

30. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?

31. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2008?

Worn-out denims, flipflops, Casual shirts

32. What kept you sane?

Who. Chloe.

33. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?

Tilda Swinton

34. What political issue stirred you the most?

36. Who was the best new person you met?

Loads man.

37. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008.

The alibis you use to cover up your failures will come back to haunt you. Deep down inside you know you could have done something about it. In other words, less excuses, more action.

38. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.

The Vines- "I wanna get free, ride into the sun."

oooppssss......

I have to face reality again soon ^^;... I'm facing 3 case studies for abnormal psy, thesis defense in Research 1 (plus the written reports), another written report in SS111, testing the reliability of my psychological test using test re-test method (60 respondents with 100 questions each ), defending my chosen therapy for ab psy ... waaaaa!!!!

...and now im gathering all the materials I need... abstracts, lessons of adlerian therapy, movies for film review , etc....

2009 would be a tough year for me ... anxious but excited LOLX

---

anyhow, before i go back to hell I have my last 2 vacation destinations for this holiday... that would be tagaytay and bohol~~ weeeepppee!!! I would make sure that i woud have fun~~ ^_____________^ (this is the first time that we would be giving uo the out of the country tour jut to go somewhere here in the Philippines lol)

dec 31-jan 3 ^_~

I think this is the first time that my mind wasnt occupied by different fantasies i have hehe.. I actually spend Xmas in reality. Nothing special but it was good .. at least~ LOLx

I think im really becoming an adult now... its weird that even i have something thats been bothering me I still managed to smile and relate with different people...hmmmnn~~~ an achievement for me :D

=====

Dec 24: My family went to taguig (boni high).. ate in new orleans, played in time zone, took pictures, had coffee at starbucks ... Usual bonding but I liked it

Dec 25: Went to my aunt's place.. met my cousins... When I was younger we used to have karaoke, different games, had a lot of talks... but now almost all of us are adults,, we rarely talk.. tsk.. However I did socialize with them

One thing that only bothered me was when people ask me about Psy stuffs.. It was kinda embarassing that I couldnt share a thing, not that I didnt know what to share.. but i was just a bit anxious about stating my opinion (im always like this, especially in recitations). I do have a lot in mind,, i know I can share knowledge but my shyness is really holding me back.. well, i guess i have to work on this shyness :D para naman next time BILIB sila sa galing ko! lol and they wont be like "prang wala ka namang alam"...

 all i want for xmas is for you to stay this way... forever.....

...my hair LOLx....
