Falling Water
by: ~LantisGaius (ME!)

A soft drizzle
poured outside
during the day
She's not around


Not a text,
nor a call
during this day,
I'm all alone


Rain tapped
on the windows
another day
without her


But a glimpse
on the hall
during this day,
She's not alone


A fierce storm whirled
all around me
another day,
I'm still alone


Another look,
just a peek
he and her
all alone.


The storm has passed
the sun I see
during the day
I'm with her


It's been a while
since we talked
all was well
'till he came along


I looked outside
and lightning flashed
"Please, not this day"
since I'm with her


But all was for naught
as she hugged my arm
During the day
her best and I met.

So after a long time, I update my blogs. It's not lazyness again to blame here, but I have been really busy lately. Procrastinating. And other stuff of course. School stuff. I'm really pissed off at my grades, but I guess what goes around come around. I haven't been taking my college seriously this days...but that's going to change. I'm going on a "Hobby diet" for a couple of months, meaning I won't play at the malls until october. (Except at the prerelease, since I promised my berks that I'd be there). Also, I'm going to read books. College-relatred books. [sarcasm] Like a dictionary, or something. Did I spell college right? Or is it collage. Coleage? [/sarcasm] Oh well, On to regular programming...

So what happened...hmm. Ok, First, Phil, aka Jin, celbrated his birthday this August 19 with a 4 round tourney. I ended up somewhere 6 ft. under, and Austin's Grull deck (Piloted by his brother) took first place. Jm took the second place, Jerwin takes the third and Edwin takes an FMN Foil since he won the dice roll. I used my Sizzetron deck, with the only modification being a single blood clock maindeck. *sigh* I don't like to talk about magic cards since I'm supposed to be cutting back on my hobbies. Anyways, we drank a little San Mig Lyt while at the tourney... Hmm... what else..

Has anyone read Paz Marquez Benitez's Dead Stars? I can relate to the story. I think It's happening between me and Aubrey right now, buit I sure hope not... ~_~

†† Fuck Love, Light a Cigarette
†† By: ~ImmortalArchangel
††
†† I think the clouds are nice. I thought to myself as i stared at the sky for perhaps
†† the thousandth time today. I am at my college, hanging out at the smoking area,
†† thinking, thinking, thinking....
††
†† "Wait, what was I thinking about in the first place?"
††
†† "You were thinking about her."
††
†† "What? Who the fuck are you?"
††
†† "Never you mind. How is she?"
††
†† "The fuck should I know, haven't seen her in 3 years, how do you know of her?"
††
†† "I know everything there is to know about you and her, every secret, every detail..."
††
†† "Leave well enough alone! This does not concern you!!! I DO NOT LOVE HER!!!"
††
†† "I never said you did..."
††
†† ...
††
†† "Here, have a smoke."
††
†† I looked at him and saw only darkness, save for a cig lying by my side. I picked it
†† up and lit it, then drew a puff and I exhaled, watching the smoke rise in a perfect
†† cone, and savored the head ruch it was giving me."Thanks."
††
†† "What would she say if she caught you smoking? You never even touched a cigarette
†† back in high-school."
††
†† "She won't care... She never did..."
††
†† "Maybe she did once, but you're too blind to see."
††
†† "No... It's useless to think about it now... It was unrequited love..."
††
†† "Ah, so you did love her..."
††
†† "Yes... Once..."
††
†† "Admit it! You still love her! Every breath you take is for the chance to see her
†† again! Every smile you see you wish it came from her! The past still grasps at
†† your heart like a vice! Or maybe... It's you who won't let go... you love her
†† still..."
††
†† "No!!! I h... h..."
††
†† "What?! So you hate her now!!!?"
††
†† "NO!!!! It's not like that!"
††
†† "Then what is it like? Ever since you two parted ways at the graduation, you became
†† a shell of your former self! You pretend to smile when inside you die! Do you love
†† despair so much that you can't let go?"
††
†† "Love despair? hahaha... No, but i love her... Fuck love, hahaha..."
††
†† At that point, i realized that i finished the stick, the heat warming my fingers, and
†† that I was all alone there. I stood up, and left for class, never daring to look back...
††
†† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† †† ††

So, My computer was infected by the notorius Brontok Virus. Oh, sorry, not Brontok Virus, Brontok Virii. Yup. More than one. In fact, when I asked around in the forums for the most powerful antivirus in the planet, I didn't expect it to be shareware. I was shocked, but I tried it still, and boy was I amazed. Kaspersky (v6.0), Mcafee (VirusScan Plus 2006)and Norton (Symantec Systemworks Suite 2006) both detected three instances of worm.win32.Brontok.Q Virus in my primary hard drive. Both was unable to clean my drive. ~_~ I tried NOD32 antivirus suite, and guess what?

1244 Instances of win32.trojan.Jeefo.A Virus on my primary, secondary AND flash drive, 302 Instances of win32.worm.Brontok.Q virus, on all drives, 245 instances of win32.worm.Brontok.A 166 instances of win32.worm.Brontok.D virus, 1 instance of Java.Trojan.Exploit.Bytverify and 1 instance of Java.Trojan.Nocheat.A Virus.Wow. I really can't believe my eyes the morning after the complete heuristics scan. But there's more! Only the last two virii was not cleaned! Yes, All of those virii was purged in a single night! All hail NOD32! BTW, I updated it's virus database last night, and sweeped up the last two virii in my PC ^_^

Ok, on to regular programming! ^^; The "One Knight Stand" party just passed this saturday, and the bands were great! Itchy Worms, 6CycleMind and the program was superb. Only one problem though: We were supposed to be at the canteen outside the school by 6:00pm. I got there 6:30. Austin and John Mark got there by 8:30. T_T It was already at the Bandfest when we finnaly pushed through the crowd at the front gate. I didn't find Aubrey until the end of the party, and by then her father is there to take her home T_T It was a crappy night. Oh, and my berks also went to my house so that they can sleep there overnight. After a disastrous D&D session, the day broke and we said our goodbyes. And I promptly collapsed, exhausted, drained and in a very bad mood.

So, guess what? A couple of construction workers (Hired by Letran, my Uni) just got electrocuted. One died at the hospital, or at least that's what the rumors say. Although the classes were cancelled because of it, I can't heelp but feel gloomy. I can't enjoy my extra free time, as if I should have been doing something else... something constructive... *sigh* Oh well.

Now, first agenda: Saturday & Beyond plans. Tomorrow would be the tournament day. The Need For Speed: Most Wanted Tourney will begin at approx. 1:30pm, If everyone's present at the time. The rules are simple: he race type are always Sprint, on a 3 to 5 km. Course. The course would always be chosen by the second player. All cars in the 'My Cars' Category can be chosen, and all cars MUST be equipped with both the Ultimate Parts & the Junkman Parts in order to flatten the cars performance to its maximum peak. There will be four rounds, no matter how many people attend. Those are the rules, but additional rules can be set depending on the situation. The tourney host will always be the final judge. Also, there's a Tekken 5 trial tourney. There's no rules yet, so i guess we'll figure that out tommorow. ^_^

Next agenda, my Short Story. It isn't finished yet, but I have plans for sequels and prequels already... ~_~ I hope I get it done before tommorow though. Next agenda, My grade are at an all-time low. I even manage to get a line of 7 grade in World Literature. Yes, Literature, my lifeblood as a fantasy writer. A line of 7. I guess I have cut back on extra-curricular activities yes?

Btw, I restarted my Digimon Adventure... Here's a link to my new profile. And I'm currently doing the LCA website... again. I hope I get it done this time...

I'm currently at the Internet Lab, with Ms. Teodoro on the helm of the class, teaching all about HTML Tags and the Internet. *sigh* This is what I hate about Letran's Academic System, even if I know what's the lesson already, I still have to sit down through it all. Anyways, I think I just flunked my Digital Electronics practical exam (Damn wires and damn digital trainer...) while my prelim grade on Internet is 89.03%. Both failing marks on my standards. ~_~

So I flunk my examns and complain about the Academic System. Wow. I just realized how ironic that was. Anyways, I'm currently writing a Short Story about true death (Title pending), which is set on Rokugan (The world of the Legend of The Five Rings CCG). I'm going to submit it to DeviantArt's competition two days from now, after getting critiques from my friends. I'm also going to post it here tommorow, so comment on it. ^_^

Final words, I hate my academic life. And to phil> Try the deck out. I'm not stupid enough to play a thieving magpie on a red player without open mana, though I agree that a single copy of Treasure Trove does not meet the deck's hand size requirements. Keep in mind that this is TJ's deck, not mine. I don't like monocolor decks, coz there's always the urge to splash a color. I'm an Izzet Mage remember? And also, I think it looks crap on paper, but works quite well on real life. ^_^

Oh, and the pic above is my car. ^_^ In my dreams. Anyways, that's what I'm going to use in the Need for Speed: Most Wanted Tourney. Looks simple yes? ~_~

Ahoy mates! I'm quite inspired today, as I have just finished watching two of disney's most popular movies. And that I've been munching on chocolate bars since this morning. I have finished two large bars of Cadbury Roast Almond Choclates, and I'm feeling really psyched. The exam week has passed, and unfortunately the Need For Speed: Most Wanted tourney that was scheduled this saturday was cancelled. Just yesterday though, at the Friday Night Magic, I just completed my deck although (As always) I saw quite large wholes in my design. In hindsight, I'm itching to build another deck. Why? Well, Edwin, unfortunately, has placed his trust on TJ, the resident Robin Hood (Y'know, a steal from the rich, give to the poor kind of guy). And they dreamed up a deck that was not only cheap, but strangely reminiscent of the uber-powerful MUC of the old days. Here's what I remember from the decklist.


// Deck file for Magic Workstation (http://www.magicworkstation.com)


// Lands

1 [CS] Dark Depths
23 [UNH] Island

// Creatures

2 [9E] Mahamoti Djinn
2 [CS] Vexing Sphinx
3 [9E] Thieving Magpie

// Spells

4 [CS] Rune Snag
4 [DIS] Spell Snare
4 [GP] Repeal
4 [CS] Controvert
4 [RAV] Remand
4 [9E] Mana Leak
2 [9E] Evacuation
2 [RAV] Convolute
1 [9E] Treasure Trove

Although the deck plays excruciatingly slow, and also an automatic lose against competent Grull decks (IN THEORY), it still hasn't lost game yet in MagicWorkstation. I even found myself in a match against a T1 Mercenary Deck, and I pwned him/her quite quickly (Vexing Sphinx beatdown 4tw!). I don't think my current control deck can match with this deck easily, unless I get a CounterBalance on turn 2 (Hoping there's no Spell Snare) and a Boseiju on turn 6, right before Wildfire. My mind is currently racing though the possibilities, but I think I really have to pull Niv-Mizzet out of my deck, and place something else. Or, better yet, construct anothertier 1 deck, although I'm not sure which...


Anyways, as you can see at the side bar and pic above, I'm a fan of Olesya Rulin. Who is she? Here. Of all the cast in Disney's High School Musical, she the only one who really caught my eye. I guess It's the glasses, yes? Sooo Cute. ^^;


So, See you guys tommorow, I hope. Ps> I hid a link somewhere in the blog towards the blog of a certain 'friend' with glasses. She's nowhere as cute as Olesya, but still, cute is cute. c",) Hint: Look for wrong grammar, or better yet open an RSS Reader or this page's script, then look for something out of place.

My deviance was rejected! Waaaah! They said it's illegal. Anyways, The pic's above. I can't post it in DeviantArt though, coz that would mean I'm claiming Kev Walker's art as mine... *sigh* It was quite a picture too. I didn't edit that, I just
cropped and resized it a little. I was planning on creating another one but...Oh well... *sigh* It was supposed to be Dosan's Oldest Chant too...

Note to self: Stop Whining.

Ok, next.
I posted a Jin's Lair link at the sidebar, but here it is again for those of you who's too lazy to look (and scroll). Oh. Crap. I forgot to republish this morning...I just looked at my sidebar and found the link missing ^^; Oh well, I guess it will appear the moment I publish this post... Anyways, It's my exam week. Or exam weeks. Letran has a funny way of scheduling things, so the exams are on 20,21,24 and 25. It's weird, but in hindsight, it think this extends the "No Activity A Week Before Or A Week After" policy of letran to another level.

Ok, focus. *Slaps himself in the face, Tomoharu Saito style* Exam week. You'd think I'm reviewing and all? Nah. I'm taking it pretty easy, in fact. Why? I have no idea. My head's full of magic cards. It seems that Grull Aggro + Jitte is an impossible match against my deck, and I'm thinking about splashing a fourth color (white for Faith's Fetters + Three Dreams) so my minds all cluttered.
