desktop

The saying "The more you have, the more you need" rings so true. We had broadband installed yesterday after mom got fed up from hearing missed call complaints and disconnected everytime calls. The problem, though, is that the desktop has only one LAN port, and so I need to buy myself a router just to get net access for the laptop. Which means another 5k, and which also means I'll have to save again.

Yesterday I rediscovered LOTRO or Lord of the Rings Online. It's been ages since I last checked up on it, and at least now there's a game we can really play. It's already in closed beta in Europe and America, so that means open beta will follow soon, and if open beta comes, I'll surely join. I've signed up for their forums already, and yes, I did miss Middle-Earth. I'll either be a Elven Champion (again), Minstrel, or Lore-master.

LOTRO! Can't wait. :D

feigned insomnia

I am currently sleepy yet not asleep. One part of me refuses to sleep, waiting for something that I know not, while another screams for rest. That's why I am flipping thru webpages looking; but there is nothing. I am like a seashell--I seem to speak, yet I only echo the greater sea.

Dreamlord, what do you think then?

politika

Today was another I-wish-I-didn't-go-to-school day. The prof for PE wasn't there, Bio was dead, as usual, and the only form of relief came from Deutsch; but a headache soon afterwards. After class, I managed to get a copy of the Kule, still on rebel mode; then went to Gateway with Danielle (who was going home to LB for the weekend and was on the way to Cubao too, so we decided to take a side trip to the Gateway food court). Talk about contrasts. I'm not Leftist, but I don't believe in all the admin's reasonings anyway. It is important to hear what everyone has to say first.

Let's just say I'm indifferent about people's ideologies, for the most part. There are no wrong ideologies, anyway; to quote Gandhi, "Christianity is good; it is Christians I do not understand." There are bad eggs on both side of the fence. Like that egg-throwing incident. Those eggs would have been better in somebody's hungry stomach than on a general's pants (even if he, as commander-in-chief of the army, is guilty).

In retrospect, that's what I should have said at the Quill mock interview eons ago. The very frank I-don't-give-a-shit. I'm so tired in believing in things anyway; faith has no reason, and too bad I don't like unreasonable things.

Well, no changing the past now. And what's a story without a sprinkling of regret? There'll be always a what-if question in some parts of somebody's life. I won't really fit in there anyway.

So there...enough for the moment. All my thoughts that have really made sense have run out, and unless I restrain myself, I'll start writing gibberish.

caffeine

I'm downstairs while the cat is still reeling from the effects of licking the last drying drops of coffee from my cup. I finally finished the 2nd job change quest on Tala, but I can't level much yet--I still have to hunt everybody skills. Not that I'm complaining--after all, it's time to give back.

I wish I just went home after Soc Sci earlier--another rally again and so for the next two classes our profs were absent. I have nothing against that--it's just I wish they'd give advance notice so that I won't spend most of the day loitering around the campus.

So currently I'm chatting with my ex-gdm and reading up on the boards. The sad thing about Tala is that it lags too much, even more than Pola at times, so alt+tab isn't possible. And since class isn't relly early tomorrow, well, I will be staying up a bit late.

Was immer.

to-do lists

I wasn't able to post yesterday--either Blogger was down or it was just the dial-up acting like a goddamn primadonna again--so it'd be a bit late to say Happy New Year right now; and the homework pile isn't in a Happy New Year mood either.


So while the cat's pretty much behaved (meaning asleep) right now, I guess I have to start on that Deutsch letter. I'd start it first in English and just translate it into Deutsch--that way, if I run into any trouble, I'd just feed it in the online translator and ta-da! instant sentence. Then just recheck it for grammar errors. The Soc Sci project just needs some pictures to be resized, and the PanPil article just probably needs a second reading. And Ma asked me to get something scanned.

I'll finish them all, I hope. More like, I need to.
