Colorful Delusions

I knew it. I bloody knew it. The announcement for no classes had to come after I bothered to wake up, prepared for school, and when my bus was already so close to school. >.< After doing a few things, I'm going back to sleep.

And, It has finally come. Next week are the final exams, and more or less the last of academics I'll see for High School. I'm half dreading and half excited for it. Should I actually study since it's the last time I'll have to? I guess I'll try what I can and put a bit more effort than usual.

I'd post this later, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to go online for the weekend.

For me, cramming is usually an effective way to gather inspiration and willpower. Kinda like SDMs or last resort tactics in games. The problem is doing everything in the time I have left. Sometimes, sacrifices are needed to stretch cramming time. One of those times was last night, where I had to submit a Science project and thought I should submit a Social Science project the next day. (I found out the Social Science project was due at the 27th during class >.<) Thus, I ended up finishing everything by 3:00 AM today. Note that my school day morning routine requires me to be up by 4:00.

This is how I got the fatigue induced headache that's been bothering me for the entire day. Simply closing my eyes was enough to lull me into a close-to-sleeping state. In an attempt to play Battleship, I learnt how unaware fatigue made me. Markers I don't remember putting, markers in random positions I never called out, and losing too easily. Suprisingly, I had no problem keeping myself up during class. Except for Filipino. I was done failing in my Talumpati recital, so all we had to do was watch others recite theirs. Being in the front row and having my filipino watching from the back of the classroom made sleeping too tempting. Granted, I only got a few minutes of sleep at a time, but it alleviated(hehe, Word Power term) my headache enough. Even when she called out those that were sleeping, I was never mentioned. Like I had expected since this morning, the day dragged though slowly at a snail's pace to the negative 10th power.(gah, school expressions! I really AM tired.)

Even now that I'm home, I just can't seem to sleep despite how tired I am. Having nothing else to do, I decided to state an uninteresting chapter of my life here and waste a few minutes of every reader's time. I should have ranted more about cramming and fatigue like I originally planned when I started typing this. How it ended up telling a boring story of a boring event of my life, I do not know.

I was originally planning to put this post here. How I ended up typing it in LJ and not noticing until I finished is a mystery to me. O.o

And... even more pictures!












The back of evil... (horizontally, for photobucket rotate didn't work on this one either)














Sanctuary from torture!















It only looks like an innocent group shot! Rika is performing an unknown jutsu! Ueno does Hebi Tsukai(spelling?)! Rune is... summoning something? Kang is ... plotting! yeah, plotting!

Other pictures can be found in G Force X and my LJ

Whee, today was a fun day. 10 hours out of the house and with friends. Time well spent, I must say. Great schedule you made, Rika. We never strayed far from it. -_^b(not sure how that smiley looks to others, but it's supposed to be winking and a thumb up) I would have arrived at ten, but I was waiting for my jacket to dry. I needed the extra pocket space. Despite going out of my way for my jacket, I ended up bringing a bag anyway. *sigh* Well, I won't state the usual routine at Shang anymore. If you don't know it, you'll have to settle with what happened out of the usual. I never noticed the Mario Kart machine before. -_-a Played two games against R2. Thunder Stick roXXorz!XD Air Hockey table is gone. aww. As more of us arrived, I kept switching from one to the other. Me time consisted of SvC Chaos and Guitar Freaks. I sometimes joined Wasabi in watching people enter from the MRT waiting for Saku, Kang, and Rika. Played Mario Kart against R2. Watched Liu play from behind and sometimes tried my hand at Tekken against Liu. I only won two mercy rounds and 1 round via cheap shots. I basically just watched Jake play from behind. When Kang and Rika arrived, I'd sometimes just listen to them from behind. Saku arrived last, so we left Power Station as soon as he arrived. O.o I somehow like being behind for a reason currently unknown to me. R2 treated us to California Pizza Kitchen. ^_^ 5(I think) different kinds of Pizzas and bottomless drinks! While waiting, everyone started off by getting something to read, but eventually just talked. Through so many years, I couldn't stomach too many vegetables. After several tries, I discovered that I didn't mind the taste, if not liked it. What my subconcious hated was the combination of the crunch and the texture of vegetables, it seems. I believe I can blame it to dread from past experiences. Gah, this is the kind of thing kids get over when they reach 8. Why do I still have the problem? I still enjoy pizza with vegetables, for as long as vegetable toppings are spread out enough. R2 was very hesitant to go to Podium after. ^_^; He knew his fate there all too well. Jake and Saku went there ahead. Both of them keep seperating from the rest of us alot. ¬_¬ hehe. The binding force that kept everyone inside the Karaoke room has weakened, and most were able to just leave upon whim. Aww, not enough tortured screams this time around. I had round two at singing Real Emotion upon request. Built a pillow fort. Played with Nigel and took a lot of pictures(which I'd be using to experiment with what I learnt from Photoshop tutorials). I can't seem to get through a karaoke session without a pillow fight. ^_^; Ueno made a suprise visit. O.o I really never expected that.

*twitch* 3 attempts at going to the escalator going at the opposite way were all foiled. We oogled at Toy Kingdom's displayes and I got a few more pictures.

The magnetic pull was too strong for us to resist going to Comic Alley and Comic Quest. We stared at more stuff there. It was when we were at Comic Alley at this time when R2 and his soon to be secretary saw each other eye-to-eye. Keki! Keki! Sore wa keki! We stopped by the food court for dinner and cake.

We went to Shang soon enough and got to watch Water Boys. I was dreading a romance, but it was fun! Very fun! ^_^ I have to remember to look for a CD of it so I can watch it again and again. Though I'd like to have gone to the J-Pop Convention too, it and Eiga Sai were more or less at the same time. I enjoyed Water Boys too much to regret not going to the convention instead.

hmm, I haven't used a certain narrative style for a long time. I'll make another one about this for LJ.

I'll be putting up different pictures for Cramped Abyss, GForceX, and LJ to give a reason to visit all. kekeke, I'm evil to the lazy ones.

I can’t make up my mind whether to use online names or real names. >.<

I’m kinda worried about something that happened. Hope everything turns out alright.

Lessons learned....

in Half Life:
- camping around the gluon gun gives many kill oppertunities! 8D
- when locked out of the base and the bomb is going to blow, kill yourself with the rocket launcher!
- stay away from The Open Area
- picking away at someone's life with the default pistol pays off when you respawn in the same area to finish them off!
- Rocket launcher make people go boom!
- stay away from crossbows
- people in AFK are easy kills
- I can make myself invisible in Half Life. O.o

In Toy Kingdom:
- never leave Artoo alone near anything with wheels
- bring a videocam the next time Artoo is left alone anything with wheels
- Artoo curses loudly in the presence of children far too young to hear such things
- Artoo curses after the crash, not before.
- Those shelves must have been painful

In Shang:
- Powercard runs out faster recently
- I'm addicted to a game that involves doing an action when the bar reaches a specific position...
- I really appreciate the free water in the food court there
- take soup in small gulps

In Assumption Fair:
- Place gets more restricted and limited every year
- still boring
- they got rid of any partially interesting stands the had last year.
- it's a place to meet up with people I don't see very often. I saw Tito(from grade school) O.o
- food seems overpriced...

Home:
- If satisfied with the default admin account in Windows, don't bother making a new one.
- Post fast, while the memory is still clear and the inspiration still hot
- Inspiration leaves too quickly

And that's what I learned today! More details on Artoo's accident next time!
