Samurai Of Legend

I wasn’t able to access Samurai Of Legend early this morning (6 AM Philippine time). The downtime message being displayed when accessing www.samuraioflegend.com says that downtime “should take 1 hour at best” but it’s been more than 12 hours and it is still displaying the same message.

Being the SOL addict that I am, I tried googling SOL, and found another URL for the site: www.samuraioflegend.org. Imagine my joy when the login page was displayed! Woot! Now I am back to playing this addictive game. :D

Blogging Again, Eh?

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve last blogged. Maybe it’s because my life is soooo boring that I really don’t have anything to blog about. Or maybe it’s because I’ve been busy these last few months with… ehrm… DotA and Facebook. Yes, I’ve got the Facebook fever. I’ve got to admit that I didn’t get what all the fuss was about this Facebook thing. I’ve signed-up way back late 2007 but was not really active at the time because I’ve got no friends who are into Facebook yet. When my college buddies had their Facebook accounts shortly after I’ve had mine, I still wasn’t into it.

So when did I get the “fever” then?? I think it was when my boyfriend created an account. First I just started checking into it, see what the guy was up to, etc. … and then I discovered Mafia Wars. That was the beginning I think. I immediately liked the game (or app, whatever you would like to call it), and then recruited some officemates so that I could have a large mafia. Hehe. And then my office mates created their accounts and then all of a sudden, I am this little Facebook social butterfly that writes nonsense status updates, writes comments, reads comments written by others, takes quizzes, enagages in chats, pokes everbody, etc., etc. I’ve got the FEVER!!! Heh.

I am really not a very sociable person. I used to not like commenting, or more like not like communicating at all! But I don’t know, I am enjoying myself, getting to know those that are around me. And there is this rush when people react to something I did in Facebook, whatever it may be. Maybe it’s because of the validation I get… the validation that I am alive and that whatever I do may have an effect on others. Whatever. I am enjoying Facebook, let’s leave it at that. Heh.

Anyway, here’s a funny clip from HappySlip about Facebook. So true and it makes me laugh because I am guilty on some points :)

And the First One to Get Married…

… is Jacque! Who would’ve thought that the tomboy who calls herself  “Astig” will be the first one out of the five of us to get married?

With the newlyweds

The wedding was held at San Sebastian Basilica last January 11. We were late and did not get to see the ceremony. It was such a shame to miss Jacque walking down the aisle (and it’s all Joanna’s fault. Hehehe. Joke lang, Jo!) The ceremony started at 2:00 PM, and we arrived at 3:00 PM. So, we missed everything, except for the mandatory group picture taking. We waited in case there’s a group picture for the bride’s friends, but there was none (or maybe we also missed it).

Anyhow, the reception was at Gloria Mari’s Greenhills branch, but not until 7:00 PM.  So we had 4 hours to spare (a bit long, isn’t it?). We decided that we will just watch a movie to pass the time.

When we got to Greenhills, we checked the movie sched, and found out that all the movies will end 30-45 minutes after 7. We first decided that a movie was out, and we went to Cibo’s to eat merienda. But we were finished eating at about 4:30 PM and decided to go ahead and watch a movie since we had a lot of time to spare. Carla picked “The Spirit” because it was the one movie that finish the earliest. We did not like it. It was too theatrical for our tastes and we were quite bored. At exactly 7 PM, we went out of the cinema without finishing the movie, and then went to Gloria Mari’s. Little did we know that we were in for another long, long, long wait. We should’ve just watched another movie.

The reception officially started at 9 PM. We were starving by then. Imagine if we didn’t eat merienda before the reception! So we entertained ourselves by taking pictures (of ourselves, of course!) and playing with Shirley’s shawl, while we waited for the food to come.

Just pictures after the jump.

My Bangs Was Murdered!

I went to Cut by Jun Encarnacion, Tutuban Centermall branch to have my bangs trimmed. I figured that their stylists could handle that simple job. It turned out quite the opposite. I paid 38 pesos to have my bangs trimmed, and now I look like some mischievous 5 year old cut my bangs while I was asleep. That’s what I get for being cheap. I would have done a better job cutting my bangs myself. I tried to remedy it, but to no avail. My bangs was cut too short to be salvageable. Now I’m stuck to clipping my bangs till it grows out. Hmph.

The Ultimate Comfort Food

When I am down or just want to indulge in MSG goodness, I eat Payless Extra Big Pancit Canton in Calamansi Flavor. Alavet!

Yummy!

I add chili sauce to spice it up a little.I don’t like the Chilimansi variant because it’s too spicy for my taste. I’m gonna eat now… nom-nom-nomnom :D

High School Barkada

Carla and I met our high school friends Joanna and Shirley today. It was supposed to be a reunion of our high school barkada, but Jacque (the pasaway), as usual backed out at the last moment. (Ikaw lang kulang Jac!)

We got to catch up on what’s happening in our present lives. We spent almost 3 hrs in Teriyaki Boy, consuming about 4  glasses of iced tea each, and each of us taking 2 trips to the bathroom. Heh. We reminisced our high school days: the people we made fun of, our crushes, our escapades with our school disciplinarian, the troubles Joanna caused (Hehehe peace tayo Joanna! :P), our girl scout days, Joanna’s COCC days, our pa-cute-outside-the-school days. Haaay, kaka-miss.

Missed you guys! Jac, ikaw lang kulang!

Reading Between the Lines

… is not something I am good at. I know I am not dumb, although I admit I have had my fair share of airhead moments. But when it comes to reading between the lines, I am afraid I am completely clueless. I am a very oblivious person. I may have assumptions at some point, but I consider them just that: assumptions. I am not the kind of person to make assumptions and then believe them to be facts. I don’t want to expect something, and then be disappointed when my assumptions turned out to be, well,  just assumptions.

So it’s either you tell it to me straight, or not tell me anything at all.

Can you read between my lines?
