Bound to happen

Hahahaha~~~ Remember this? We'll it happened...

I knew it was only a matter of time before it did.

Rehash? Maybe

Not one post in two years? Oh my... that's quite some time there.

Hmmm... something's telling me I want somehow re-do this blogging thing again (redundant, yes I know but that's part of the point).

Makes me feel that I want it to truly embody what the title says... as this crapland is turning into a real crapsh*t of a place to be in.

... which I really hope will change.

School Rumble Federation

I got reminded recently of a true to life story that happened not too long ago.

It was the time when I was downloading School Rumble Ni-gakki. I was getting the latest episode (at that time) of School Rumble Ni-gakki fansubbed by Wannabe Fansubs. When the file was queued on utorrent, it kinda looked like this (there was a CRC stub but I can't exactly remember what it was):

[WF]School Rumble 2nd Term - 08.mp4

And so while it was currently on queue, somebody got a peek at the monitor and saw that it was downloading. The person then asked me this question: "Ano yan? Wrestling? (What's that? Wrestling?)".

...

I honestly didn't know how to react.

Of Space, Time and Oyashiro-sama

A dream about Time and Space travel and that it is somehow more common than usual.

There was a certain "Time Server" that time travellers connect to before, during and after the jump.

Time and space travel came in three distinct methods, or "flavors" and is available for use by different kinds of people. These methods were: Wired, Unwired (Wireless), and Instant (Blinkers).

For the first method, there are wires that emanate from the body and wrap around certain body parts like arms, legs and torso when its time to jump. This method uses a direct connection to the time server.

For the Unwired, No wires are used when jumping. However, this method was less accurate. This method uses a roundabout, indirect connection to the time server.

Both wired and unwired travel can traverse long expanses, in space and time.

For the Instant method, time and space jumps are done instantly without connecting to the time server provided that they are qualified and capable of the jumps. However, this method is limited to very short time and space jumps, often to just meters (in terms of space) and just hours or minutes (in terms of time).

The dream was basically about a certain kind of battle between travellers where they travel back and forth in time and space.

Oyashiro-sama is back! A new season of Higurashi no naku koro ni is now running on japanese TV. The first episode is set in the ruins of the village almost 30 years after the events in hinamizawa where *spoiler alert* everyone dies but Rena mysteriously survives. This new season is supposed to explain the mystery behind the hinamizawa curse and there's a new character to be introduced (voiced by Yui Horie).

Well, it could have ended with the first season but since this season is supposed to explain the reason behind the curse, I guess it's all well.

Curse of the Archivers

Oh yeah, I forgot to include in my previous post to add to the series of unfortunate events that happened is the fact that my 200gb hdd finally died on me. The motor isn't spinning anymore which means, the disks aren't spinning as well.

*Sigh* goodbye my ~70gb archive... all gone...

My dear friend Ais the archiver said that this could be the "curse of the archivers" (dudumdumdum...). First was Fernie losing his 160gb external, then my 200gb hdd. He could be the next one to go. Nyahahahaha~~~ well... hopefully not.

On the lighter side, I'm planiing to get a new hdd sometime maybe soon, a SATA hard drive maybe. And I found a hard disk repair and recovery service in the country... probably the only one available. I hope they don't charge a lot just in case.

Series of Unfortunate Events

Here I am with the first new post in QUITE a long time.

One of the main reasons why I haven't written in here for quite some time was simply because... I simply forget to. Yes, I know that sounds stupid but that's the truth.

But another reason why is because of a series of unfortunate events so they say.

First of all, around February, 2007, I suddenly lost the ability to connect to the internet using my computer. Man, I was annoyed... but at least the computer is still running, so it's fine in a way.

Then came mid March.

I was finally able to fix the problem of why I can't connect. Turns out to be worms (1, 2, 3, Rider Kick! Hell Yeah!). And so I thought all's well.

But then...

The next day, THE NEXT FREAKING DAY, the computer died on me. All my diagnostic abilities told me that it was probably due to either a processor or motherboard screw-up, maybe even both. The processor probably melted due to long exposure with no fan un-attended.

So... goodbye my computer...

But at least the hard drives were safe.

It took almost three months, THREE months before I finally got to get a "new" computer (processor+motherboard+casing+power+ram). It was a Pentium D 915+ 2.8ghz (x2) with a motherboard on an intel chipset (945G, with GMA950 graphics onboard configurable to up to 224mb) with 1gb ddr2 533mhz ram. It's a fairly nice system I might say... the old one was an AMD athlon xp 1800+ 1.6ghz 256 ddr ram.

And so the computer was alive again. Yay! And better, I finally got dsl, but it was just 384kbps... but it was STILL dsl. And I thought I was finally happy...

But then when the time came to setup a home network using a router (for the office laptop), I just can't set it up properly. Sigh. At least I can exchange it for another item. Maybe a new SATA hard disk...

The chatterbox on the right side is gone and I'm not sure if I'll get a new one.

And so I'll probably post here again regarding random thoughts, insights, rants, etc.

... I guess I have a lot of updating to do... sheesh.

Rainy days and Mondays

Monday. It was raining heavilly.

Went to elbi again for the sp demo.

Brownout sa ICS. Good thing I was able to borrow a laptop (yay! I hope I can borrow it again for the panel presentation) and I migrated the necessary files to run the program to it. All-in-all the demo went well. That laptop was a big, no, HUGE convenience.

It was still raining. Text message. "Punta muna kami DTRI". I decided to pay apt6 a visit.

I only stayed for a brief moment. Jaimee was there though. I hope I can go to the planned photoshoot.

Then the van came. Time for the trip back home. It was still raining. HARD.

Wacthed some stuff on the lappy while travelling. I watched To Heart episode 7 and SHaruhi episode 2(1). Damn... I watched SHaruhi AGAIN. It was still raining.

We bought some siopao on the way home. We said Special siopao (bola+asado) but the stupid vendor gave us PLAIN asado. At least it still tastes good.

Then, home.

It was still raining. And it was still a monday.
