Colorful Delusions

Boredom's illusions
Everything that happened in the past week will always remain in my memories. It all started on monday morning. A floating blueberry muffin came to me, telling me to eat it. But I refused, saying I didn't like blueberry. The muffin just... did something that slightly resembled a shrug and stuffed itself into my mouth. The last thing I remembered before I fell unconcious was choking to death.
I woke up somewhere, staring into this pretty large bright thing. I was caught into a trance, staring at it for a few minutes until I remembered everything and realized I was staring at the sun the whole time! I cursed more than I ever did the entire schoolyear, rubbing my eyes and screaming in agony until I felt the pain subside and saw nothing else but blurred smudges.
I regained my eyesight after a bit of travelling... and concussions. This group of strangely dressed travellers spotted me and asked me to join them in their quest. They didn't know me, but they just told me everything they knew about this quest. By my experience, the stuff they told are usually kept secret. Then they started treating me like they knew me for years. Feeling uncomfortable, I was about to get away from them but stopped when their "leader" gave me a large pointy weapon and told me to follow them as if I accepted their request. Nobody ever thought I was responsible to wield a large pointy weapon, let alone giving me one, so I joined them.
Together, we killed cute cuddly soft innocent furry woodland creatures which they claim to be very dangerous and went to the Ice Cream parlor hidden somewhere deep in a dark unstable cave. After having our fill of ice cream, we killed the ice cream guy which they kept referring to as the "final boss". One of them opened a secret passage under the refrigirator which led to a key to the bathroom. We found this pebble that had an unnatural shine in the bathroom and kept it since the "leader" said it was important in finding some other secret room. It was shiiiney. The "leader" snatched the pebble from my hand and I noticed we were out of the bathroom. He dropped it in the vanilla ice cream in the refrigirator.
The entire Ice cream parlor collapsed and we fell into this very out of place room in the cave. The ice cream guy was in this shiny extravagant area of the room and was laughing. It would have been dramatic he had worn something else besides the ice cream guy uniform. The room rumbled and he transformed into... well, he looked the same except for the long hair and the sharp pointy katana.
The battle was harder this time around. Mainly because the first encounter was a joke and he wasn't wielding an ice cream scooper this time. His strongest attack gave the entire party light scratches... if he was lucky. The cute cuddly soft innocent furry woodland creatures proved more of a challenge.
After we beat him, we got the pie that the "leader" was going to bring to his cousin's birthday party. The quest was over and the leader invited all of us to the party. After hearing about the food there, we accepted it. When we left, the pie floated in the air and crammed itself in my mouth. It must have heard about what happened to the muffin. I choked again and I heard the complaints of the other party members. They must have looked forward to eating the pie.
I woke up on the roof of my home suffering from sunburn and entered the house through the window. Nobody seemed to notice that or the fact I wasn't around for 5 days. I have learned to devour pastries before they stuff themselves in my mouth.

Riiiight. I wish that happened. I was bored the entire week. The only things worth mentioning is that I'm this close to leveling up orochi raziel and I finished Devil May Cry 3 on easy and normal and I'm halfway through hard.
Yeah, I know. Playing as a devil in Devil May Cry 3 during Holy week. Religious, aren't I?
Everything in the story above came from the crap formed in my mind in utter boredom. It just formed as I typed it. Bah, I'm still bored. I need something to do.

End of Examination 4: The Final Encounter(until next school year, at least)
I just wanted to try this style of posting one more time. I had fun the first time.
The final skirmish was just one week away. I went through rigrous training, finding as much data as I can on my opponents. I was forced to skip any recreational activity(at least in surveillance). There were 9 of them to deal with. I had to meet 3 of them in the first day and 2 each following day. The first was Cooking, Computer and P.E.
Day 1
All 3 were not particularly hard. Granted, they were on the first day. I rushed up to Cooking and gave it a barrage of answers. There were some parts where I had a problem remembering, but nothing too hard. Among the rest, I knew about Computer the most. I gave it everything I knew before it had time to act. Finally, PE. I was always bad against it, yet I always beat it easily. Some well placed shots and shooting randomly, and it was over.
Day 2
Math wasn't particularly hard, but I did have to take my time. It was tricky, so I couldn't just aggressively pummel it. Unfortunately, I took too long. Just before I was about to finish it off, it ran away. Filipino was my first and hardest challenge. I took a lot of time, and I still barely scratched it. It's defenses were strong, and it's technique well done. In the end, I opted for the only technique I could count on at the time: Shotgun.
Day 3
English. One quick blow, then a nap. finished. What else can I say? Soc. Sci. and I exchanged blows. Soc. Sci. slowly took the advantage. It left me lost and confused in the middle, but I think I was able to make it out after.
Day 4
Science is probably what I failed the most miserably to. Even with the help of the calculator, I still didn't stand a chance. Though I was able to stand on my feet until the very end, I was knocked unconcious when I was clost to finishing it. The proctor woke me up ten minutes after the bell rang(not really). I was tired, and eager to finish. I didn't put much thought into C.L. and just beat it over and over again until it gave in. I can finally go to Robinson's!
I met up with my allies and we exchanged the information we extracted. Everyone got too addicted to cards. I couldn't elude the annoying 2's of diamonds.
Robinsons
Liu and I delayed our primary objective of reserving spots in Compass when MJ treated us to the arcade. Benji was a strong contender. Maybe because the darn punch button wouldn't work. Warcraft came next. We were all caught in this long campaign. I spent too much time gathering troops. Benji took over after. After several battles, it was the one who could resist fatigue the most that won. Which suprisingly was Yang. or maybe it was Liu. I hope it was Liu.
Megamall
I was out of practice. We were playing Tekken 5. Well, I just had one match and was just a spectator for the other matches. Watching their technique, Their strategies and combos, so I can practice during the summer break.
Shang
In the end, it was me, Liu and Khan. We did what we always did. Lose all our money in the arcade, calculate the food prices to see what could fit in our almost non-existing budget, went drinking(water)<----(Khan's comment that day), stared at shiny posters at the cinema and leave in our separate ways at 7:00 before we use up all our travelling money.
The MRT was a bitch. 1 passed just when I was going down the stairs. 2 passed by but I couldn't enter either of them because it was too crowded inside, and the one I finally entered stopped in the midddle of the track for 5 min. argh.
We were all separated, but we'll most probably regroup next school year.

Quest for the fabled Netopia with vacant computers!
It was r2's birthday party yesterday, for those that didn't know. His birthday was earlier last week... I think. Naturally, there was a party.
The party consisted of r2, Samonte, khan, rika, and me. r2 was party leader and EXP was even share. He lead us to the competitions in Power Station where I finally beat Iggy for the first time in Initial D and Kenji and barely lost against Khan in initial D. Where I got both 1st place and 3rd place in RS: PJ(now 2nd and 4th thanks to khan)
Then he brought us to CPK, where I met and faced my greatest foe, Salad. I could barely get a chunk out of him and was losing until r2 provided support. The pizzas were great though.
Finally, we began our search for the Netopia With Vacant Computers. The search was long and challenging. We battled the Dairy Queen Blizzard Mascot boss, got some ice cream and were distracted by the treasures of Power Books and Tekken 5 goodness. Samonte and rika left early.(with r2's OSTs in rika's case)
Finally settled in Netopia in Robinsons and met rika and Benji in chaos. Like arizel telizure(?) said, Usugi chan(Eios's pet lunatic) is cute. Its's quotes were quite disturbing a few times. Khan kept using charge arrow on me./sob orochi_raziel was a lot stronger than before. Monsters would die before my cursing blink stilleto hit them! I ALMOST leveled up that time. I should have gone for 2 hrs.
The worst part of the day was in the MRT. I practiced my evasion and balance skills. No seats, no bars, and hugging the door for support.
