To anyone who was wondering: me and my family's doing fine. Just got back electricity today. Although cell signal's still a bit hazy, so in case you guys texted me and I wasn't able to reply I wasn't able to receive the messages :<

Electricity got cut off saturday afternoon, and even just hearing the news on the radio was depressing. All my years living in this area, this was the first time I heard people stranded on their roofs for two days without saving any of their belongings. The worst I remember was when I was a toddler, and the water was flowing down our garage and my brother played his RC boat on it. Yeah, we were kids then. This was much worse and depressing.

We didn't exactly get flooded, but our garage had the evidence that the river water reached us. I thought it wasn't a big deal, until my mom told me that both ends of our streets the water was up to chest-level. Night came, and we could hear people screaming in Tumana to the Army people "Kailangan namin ng pagkain!" (We need food!) Tumana would be about 5 minutes away from us. Marikina river would be about 15-20. So I'm really thankful and blessed that we didn't lose anything, most especially loved ones. My brother actually stayed at his GF's house saturday night, and he was asking us to evacuate in case the floods would get worse. That was really a rare thing for him to do.

I was also somehow hopeful of the idea that so many people are reaching out to help the victims. My mom told me she saw in this fancy grocery store the Bread section was EMPTY. It couldn't have been because people we're hoarding or panic-buying, cause she also saw big cars being filled with plastics full of basic needs. So today I went to my college and helped out with the donations too. If any of you guys want to donate stuff you can drop them off at the FA and find the UP IRIS members :)

I'm glad you guys who're able to update here are safe and okay too! Being at home with no connection to other people made me worry that you guys got caught in the flood D: Hopefully I'll see you guys next week!

WANTED: Missing Belts

Sat, 30 May 2009 04:24:44 GMT

Hai Gaiz, do you remember borrowing the following belts?

Sad to say I really really forgot to whom I lent it to or where I put. But I fixed my stuff last night and I couldn't find both. Strange since I don't wear them often and keep them in one place. Although the second belt I knew was missing a couple of months ago.

Orz, if any of you realized you borrowed just let me know. Haha, this is so stupid of me to just remember when I really really needed them x_____X.

Thanks guys o/

Day Twenty Nine, Day Thirty, Day Thirty One/ love<<<<<RAGE

Sat, 14 Feb 2009 06:35:33 GMT

Truth is, no picture for Day 29 OTL. I didn't bring my camera to school (since I had to bring lotsa school stuff too :\) And when I got home I fell asleep :|

uh, it's the time of the school year where you can't seem to catch up with things :< Especially sleep.

***

Pre-valentine's picture on Friday the 13th.

***

Well, I was kinda unlucky on friday the 13th. I lost my extra battery for Quia. Ugh. But I guess I had to move on and take pictures of Loverage. A lot of good bands, but it had to end a little bit early cause things got scary D:

After Bamboo performed, people outside who couldn't get it (people with tickets and no tickets) starting banging the wooden fences. Loudly. We were in the middle of the whole venue (backstage) and we could hear it. People slightly panicked but we did get to stay put until things got calmer. We waited for my other orgmates too, making sure we all got out safe. I almost cried cause this is the first time I've experienced anything like that but lol, IRIS people kept on saying "this is like left 4 dead!" XD. I was "I should've gone to FOB" XDD

I got home around 2, and I woke up around 2pm. Twelve-hour sleep \o/.

Happy Valentine's everyone!

Day Twenty Six, Twenty Seven, Twenty Eight

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 13:33:29 GMT

Now I can distinguish Asti (my external HD) from other people's HD. X3

***

Ugh, I didn't really feel like taking a picture yesterday. Was too cooped up doing this. Still trying to fix it, but I was actually supposed to pass it today. Luckily we ran out of time before it was my turn to present my work X3. Hope I can improve it *crosses fingers*

***

New shelves! * O * Haha, don't they look familiar?

Yeah. Lotta space to fill then.

***

Forgot to say, Happy Birthday Diego! Thanks for the dinner too! (Leche Flan~) XD

Day Twenty Four, Twenty Five

Sun, 08 Feb 2009 15:02:15 GMT

This is Rafraf biting on kuya juts' arm. ^^; Kuya juts' is a masochist, but who wouldn't let this cute fella nibble on him huh? X3

I'm kinda bewildered this Shitsu's face looks actually adorable. I've seen a lot of shitsu's and this one doesn't have the same face then the ones I've seen. It's like it has a face of a chowchow (Uh no, I can't imagine them crossbreeding OTL)

***

One big canvas to fill in, materials, and a bit of inspiration. Wish me luck o/

Day Twenty One, Twenty Two, Twenty Three

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 14:26:23 GMT

That day was the CAL opening parade for the Sarsuela. I took shots of my orgmates goofing off while waiting for the parade to start :3

***

I teach art to kids for CWTS in my school. It's challenging to have lessons interesting enough to teach those intelligent kids ^^;

***

That heart is mine, but mine's so far away.

Amusing.

Day Twenty

Tue, 03 Feb 2009 11:24:12 GMT

I've been wanting to take a picture of our pet birds for awhile now. But uh, their cage makes it hard to make a detailed pic of them ^^;. I don't know what kind of birds they are, but they're as colorful as parrots but smaller. They haven't spoken yet, and the only time you'd hear them is when they screech at each other when they haven't been fed in a while (they're always quiet now, guess they always full XDD)

Any tips on how to picture them caged birds nicely? :\

Oh hai Xing ke (Ate Neji) and Fra! Do you need the pictures you took on my camera? :3
