Here I am.
In a CyberCafe (called a Computer Shop here).
Manila.
Philippines.
A long away away from a place I've learned to call home.

Reflections
So finally. A2 Levels are over. I'm free. Am I really?
19 now. Adulthood beckons. *bleh*
Having my own apartment. Also my own bills, laundry, errands, groceries, and household stuff for the pad.
University applications, clubs and frats to join (if any), new friends to make, new people to meet. Ah.. So many things. Some good, some not so good.
Then a question.
Am I ready? Ready to take on a life unlike any I've ever had?
I hope so.
Am I ready for uni? Have I made the right decisions at precisely the right moments?
Only time will tell. But in the wise words of Incubus:
Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes, yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there
I'll be there..
I'll be there. *smiles*

Headdesk Moment #17263
Stupid moment.
There I was, last Friday, playing around with my phone, listening to music, and texting people. I went into my File Manager folder (Sony Ericsson phone, so it's not called Gallery okies) and I saw at the bottom right an option that said "MORE".
For the weirdest unexplained reason, I clicked on it. 3 options.
MEMORY STATUS
FORMAT M.S.
INFORMATION
Guess which one I pressed?
FORMAT M.S.
*headdesk*
I just wanted to check the memory! *grr* That's what happens when you'r not looking properly and carelessly press a button. Stupid moment.
Total losses: 96 (yes, ninety six) songs, 200+ pictures, and 3 videos. Gah.. Have to load a new batch of songs.
So I go down at 12-ish and start putting in songs, adjusting bitrates and such and after 2 hours I was thinking, hey, I've got 40+ songs again. Unfortunately..
THEY WERE IN WMA FORMAT.
D'OH! *smacks head on desk, literally*
SE phones only play MP3 and MP4 format songs. 2 hours = zilch. *headdesk*
Stupid moment.
PS. I've got 11 songs back now, but since they came from my mum's laptop, my guitar thrashing rock songs are not in my phone yet. *sigh*

crazy stuff on blogthings
| Your Penis Name Is... |
 |
That's a lie!
| Your Mexican Name Is... |
 |
LOL.
Your Japanese Name Is... |
 |
Stupid name.
| You Are an Emo Rocker! |
 Expressive and deep, lyrics are really your thing. That doesn't mean you don't rock out... You just rock out with meaning. For you, rock is more about connecting than grandstanding. |
Ah.. As long as I keep it real I suppose.
| You Are Super Spicy |
 You're a little bit crazy, a little bit naughty, and a whole lot of sexy. You go beyond hot - you set people's senses on fire! |
Hmm.. No comment.
| Your Kissing Purity Score: 34% Pure |
 You're not one to kiss and tell... But word is, you kiss pretty well. |
OMG.

Goals
I started this year with some goals, and I achieved some. I'd be a lot happier if I got all, but hey, win some, lose some right? *rueful smile* Here were my goals, to be achieved before 1st of June, 2007. Starting stats are in brackets.
Weight = Under 70kg (74kg)
Waist = 34 inches (36 inches)
Formal Shirt Size = 06 (08)
Shirt Size = M (L)
10 three-pointers in one game.
1 billion offense in Darkthrone, an online game I play.
30 points per game.
15 assists per game.
I achieved each and everyone except for the last two. It's not really a big deal, as I haven't been playing basketball all that long, so plenty of time to get it down and done. *smiles*
Anyway, about the ones I achieved.
My weight is now a pretty good 68kg, for a loss of 6kg. I really did not want to lose muscle hard-gained from weight-training and basketball, so yeah, it took 5 months because I had to eat a lot. Got to replenish the stores you know.
Waist is down to 32 inches, far better than what I targeted. Pretty happy about it. I suppose abs aren't that far now, but I wouldn't count my chickens before they're hatched. Ahaha.. I tried on my secondary school pants (yes I still keep 2 pairs) which are 34" and they were super loose. Yay!! *grins*
Formal shirt size is now 06. That's really good stuff.
Shirt size is now a regular M. It's nice and snug around the shoulders which isn't a problem for me. Ahaha.. Hey, if you've got it flaunt it right? Looking like a lion's a big plus. Sans mane.
I got 17. Read post "51 points from the arc."
Goal setting's good. I'll be working on the other two. *grins*

Sir complain-a-lot
It's just really annoying when you meet a person who is literally full of excuses. It's just REALLY annoying! And then there was Mr. Cho Shao Kian.
I met this guy at basketball at one of the courts I play and man, he's just so full of excuses. He's actually a pretty good player but darn, when he misses one or two chances, he goes on an all-out excuse spree.
"My butt hurts today from too much jumping."
"My leg cramped."
"My finger's still painful from an accident when I was younger."
"I've got this rare condition that makes my tendon go..."
"I've got foot arch pain today."
"The wind is too strong to shoot properly today."
Come on man! SUCK IT UP!! You're a guy, everyone has their off-days! *grr*
Do you have any idea how great I'd feel if I could play like you? I've only been playing basketball for about 7 months, but you don't hear me complaining. I get mad at myself, sure, because I know I'm not at the level we play at sometimes, but for Pete's sake, stop the excuses!
If you suck, admit it and shut up.
No one enjoys hearing crap like that and we certainly do not symphatize because newsflash, playing badly happens in sport now and then. Roger Federer never had a streak so long it couldn't end. Sheesh. You don't hear him complaining about some weird disease.
Oh by the way, foot arch pain is called plantar fasciitis.
