the Grueling Life of Restie Camata

This is the final week of lectures, after this it’s the finals. I haven’t looked at the schedules for finals. maybe I should do it now. There is no zoology class today which means I can hang out here in the university center for an hour. Nothing uch to do except to listen to my ipod which has a collection of Chantal kreviazuk’s song and alternative rock. I dreamt the other night that I met Chantal. Man, I was so happy. I didn’t get to say much except thank her for all the music she made. I think was talking in my sleep again. My cousin heard me laugh while I was asleep. For most people that would be creepy, but that’s just me. I talk while I sleep. I did went into depression for a whole six months and no one knew about it because I was practically a ghost during that time.

I am currently looking for a new job other than fastfood. I hate it there. I don’t want to go back there. Management is kinda crappy.But I am glad I have met a few good people there. I hope everything work out for them. I will miss lil’D, tomato boy, J-man, Pumba, Lady K(not their really names, obviously).

I am currently digging lady gaga for some reason. She satisfies my pop music cravings, plus her song Just Dance makes me move. I bought several CD. Includes I have three by Chantal Kreviazuk( I still have two to go to have the complete collection) Colour Moving and Still, What if it all Means Something, Ghost Stories. All American Rejects when the world comes down. Greatest hits of third eye blind and greatest hits of The Goo Goo Dolls and Rachel Yamagata’s Elephant’s teeth sinking in( I think that’s the name). Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill Acoustics.

I think I’m happy right now. I’m just not sure. I want to be but something is stopping me. I want to be selfish sometimes but I can’t. I’m just too nice. I’m too tired to even write about what I was thinking.. this should be enough.

Anew Returner

this is a picture of Anew Returner, Lockon Stratos’ (Lyle Dilandy)  love interest. it was tragic that she died in the anime because she is an innovator.

Spoiler alert!!

after attempting to steal the 0-Raiser, she escaped with her partner from the gundam meisters. She went back to the ptolemaios along with other innovators. they fought and she died.

the ending theme started playing and it was just Tragic, with a capital T. i had goosebumps. and its been 3 days since i saw the episode. the song is still playing in my head… I’M GOING NUTS BECAUSE OF IT!!!

i haven’t been able to finish fight club. my copy of The Count of Monte Cristo got spilled by bleach. The whole book is now useless… waaaaa!!!!! another tragedy.

my tales of eternia game is still working. i even found sekundes the greater craymel of time. i can’t believe my brother and i missed him when we first played it. it was just, right there!!! anyway, i have aquired farah’s fatal fury and her chi hi-ougi aka maximum burst. i’m trying to acquire deadly force so that i can do another hi-ougi, the flame dance. i’m still waiting for reid’s burning phoenix. in the craymels, i’m trying to do maxwell’s extensions but it seems impossible at this time. also, i’m trying to learn rem’s prism sword and maxwell’s shooting star. i can’t wait to perfect my game!!!

this saturday, i have to change the camaro’s oil filter. i was suppose to do it yesterday but i don’t know what kind of filter i should buy. oh well…

lately, when i come home and i open the door just to get in the house, i always see my grandfather standing with that terrified look on his face. he would stand by the door with just a shirt and underwear with that stupid looking face. why does he do that?  he is a nice guy, but can’t he wear pants inside his own house. especially when his grandson comes strolling in. one more thing, he blocks the television whenever there’s something good or if its the good part. uncle arvin just rolls his eyes whenever this happens. did i mention he’s not wearing pants just his underwear and shirt.

which reminds me of a frightening story. i can call it a wake up call but its just too scary. this is by accident!!! the bathroom door here and the toilet are facing each other. no lock or what so ever. i walked to the bathroom and i didn’t know my grandmother was inside. so i stepped back and almost threw up in my mouth and went back to the living room and waited until she was done. she was taking a dump or dropping the kids by the school. everyone knows you just sit there and push and we assume its right on target, which usually is.

well she missed.

after she was done with her “business” i went in to pee and i saw accumulation of cr*p by the edge of the toilet seat. i was so disgusted, nature’s call was cancelled until further notice. i couldn’t pee nor take a dump for a few days in there. it was so disgusting…

another story, i woke up at 8 in the evening. the television in the living room was on. i assume everyone was there. i went to the bathroom to freshen up. i found my naked grandfather thrashing in the tub with the door open!!!! it was f*ck*ng open!!! O-P-E-N!!!! i ran back to my room, traumatized by the dreadful sight and i couldn’t get a boner for a whole month after that.

Lesson: knock!!!

my lips are bleeding because of cold weather and i am partly dehydrated. i already have chapsticks in my car, bag, pants and room. but somehow the weather was still able to injure my lips. whenever i opn my mouth a little too wide it would start bleedin like crazy. i can’t even eat a burger now. i can only eat finger foods, like fries and popcorn, anything else would make blood trickle at the side of my lips. i can taste it even now.

i want to get rid of it!!! i’m freaking out here!!!

anyway, the new season of tower of druaga is out!!! and i’m loving it!!! melancholy of haruhi suzumiya 2 is said to start at mid-spring, i cannot wait!!! after haruhi, there news that fullmetal panic will have a third season…. i hope what i’ve been reading last week is true… or i’m going to do nothing about it.

this last few weeks i have been watching the anime called ghost stories. the japanese version is not very interesting.. the north american dub is f*cked up!!! ADV got license to do anything to it and the japanese creators said it was fine. and ADV went crazy!!! hahahaha!!! i everyone should check it out…

Yes, its that time of year again where i must look for a really good JRPG (Japanese Role-Playing Game).

Last year it was like 4 RPG games at once because of those years that passed that we have to make up. actually this year i’m just sharing on what i played.

This year, for my brother and the PS2 console, i bought Valkyrie Profile 2:Silmeria. i have played it finished it and disowned it. for my sister i bought The Siren. my sister is having a hard time playing FF10 and FFX-2 and FF12, so i bought her The Siren to shake her up. i know she likes those horror survival games. For the Wii console… yes a Wii console. i bought the Super Smash Brothers Brawl for this year. Xplay recommended that game . Why? BECAUSE IT ROCKS!!! i can’t stop playing it. its one of the best games out there. hahaha!! any nintendo freak will appreciate this game.

Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria is the supposed prequel of Tri-Ace’s previous gam Valkyrie Profile. The game still circles around the world of Midgard. But this time the lead character is another Valkyrie. Silmeria is the youngest of the three valkyrie sisters. she saved the Lord of the Undead Brahms by hiding him as one of her einherjar. Odin saw through this and decided to replace her with Hrist. But when Silmeria was reincarnated as Princess Alicia of Dipan, the valkyrie still exists as sentient being inside of Alicia’s mind. Think of it like this, the princess has a split personality.
The opening of the game is when Silmeria sensed the presence of Hrist in a castle or mansion. not sure where that castle is, but its either Crell Monfereigne or Artolia. Silmeria warned Alicia told her to escape and she did. barely escaping Hrist, thanks to Silmeria’s powers, Alicia decided to head for her home Dipan.

Graphics:
No one will argue that the graphics for this game is absolutely stunning. i would gladly just watch the scenes like movie in youtube rather than play the game.

Battle System:
The battle system is made up of the system from the first game and real-time battle. there is a certain range where enemy or your characters can attack. you build up the combo gauge and perform the soul crush move. in mages, they have specific spells for their great magic. for example, only two sorcerers can perform the great magic Tidal Wave. The problem is the difficulty. at first, i had difficulty in fighting the monsters. because you are not supposed to charged at them head first. the reason for real time battle is that you can come up with a good strategy to get behind the enemy and strike them there. The battle ends when you kill the leader or sometimes all the enemies. the enemies can call for reinforcements. so, you have to finish the battle as soon as possible before you get too outnumbered. did i mention you can separate your four-man team into two separate groups during battle but you can only control one group at time but you can switch which group you want to control at any time during battle. in most battles, you have to fight your way through enemies to be able to get to the leader. i know, te battle is really complicated. but once you get the hang of it its a piece of cake.(it took me until chapter 4 just to realize i need a strategy).

world map:
its just a map where there is pointer and just press a button you can go to the town. there are three sections in the map. the west, east and north. because of a certain mission or quest you have to go around midgard and eventually find your way back to Dipan.

Dungeons and puzzles:
This is the hard part. the puzzles are ridiculously hard, stupid riddles that sometimes don’t make sense, but some are straightforward. unlike in the first game, the monsters here respawn when you leave a certain room.

anyways thats it…. i think the game is pretty decent the difficulty is a huge problem… i’m planning on buying a nintendo DS just for the third game. Valkyrie Profile:COvenant of the Plume. i think in this game Hel is going to have huge part…i can’t for the release next spring… mwahahahaha!!!

honestly, i can’t study anymore… i’m out… i can’t think straight.. i’m not even sure if i’m walking straight.. i want to stop… i am so stressed out… even at my grandparents place i’m still stressed out.
Uncle Arvin, he is fucking retarded. i don’t think he is being smart at all… a smart-ass would be the definition. he is weird beyond me. i don’t want to be around him because he is just so distant( i wonder if that’s the right word). he is 35 years old, acting like an freakish kid. I’M THE FREAKISH KID!!!!

i haven’ watched TV in awhile. well, i couldn’t watch because of work. one of my uncles are nagging me about their computer. it doesn’t have microsoft word and the virus scan has expired and they want me to fix. and when i told them they needed to buy the software which will cost more 200 freaking dollars, they suddelny shut up for few days and complain about it again. one day, i was so exhausted from work because it was my first time in drive-thru and also i needed to write a paper for my english class, i was going to let myself pass out in bed when they knocked on the door and called me out how to open a file which was a powerpoint presentation. i told him you need the software and buy it somewhere. the microsoft office software here is about $125( i know, it is ridiculous). he suddenly wanted to talk about stupid software and i just want to pass out. in my head i was saying,”I’LL BUY THE FUCKING SOFTWARE!!! JUST LET ME REST FOR A FEW HOURS FIRST!!”, after i stared at him for few minutes he finally let me go to bed. i took off all my clothes and pass out under the blankets… the next day i went to walmart and bought them the microsoft office 2007( the only writing software available) and norton virus protection 360, which cost me more than $300. so if mom wants me to give 50 dollars a month for staying at their place… then those software should be enough until next semester…

at work, two people are creeping me out… first is Deeana.. she likes me.. she thinks i’m cute, and every time the store is not busy she comes running to me and gives me a hug. she is 4′9 native american with a round body, i would define her as a circle(i know i’m really mean)… i like her as a friend but not the way she wanted. and a 16-year-old gay boy named Quannah. he asked if i was gay and i answered,”that depends, are you?”, and he said he is and i said i’m not and he started laughing. and now he digs me(shudders)…. even if i was i wouldn’t knock on his front nor back door.

i’m trying to convince my parents to let fly home to Philippines next summer. so that, i can give my brother a proper present for his graduation and finally have a proper goodbye to my friends. when i left, it was like i disappeared all of a sudden to them. i want to go back and have a proper goodbye to everyone. since i won’t be coming back home in a few more years. i won’t say it to them like that because it will sound corny, but i’m really hoping that they would allow me.

i saw this a few days ago. it made smile that day, because the timing was just awesome.. hahaha!! i have always thought haruhi suzumiya no yutsuu was kinda weird and funny but this made it even funnier. anyway i read in some forum that haruhi is coming back for a second season next year or after they make the third season of Fullmetal Panic. For me, either one would suffice. oh btw, you should watch the english dub of haruhi suzumiya, the translation and the dubbing is great but i wouldn’t recommend listening to the translated version of the songs. i’m sorry cristina vee, but it was that terrible.

i’m worried… i know i know… i’m goin to sound like an old cynical man. I know miko is so positive and all their futures are ahead of them. my uncle said, demands for medical technologists are rising but… there are people who are inventing new ways to perform clinical tests faster and more accurate…. and automated. i guess our enemy would be technology…

This is anime series called tengen toppa gurren lagann. The best mecha anime i have ever watched. knocked gundam seed out of my most favorite anime. The storyline is well thought, character development. The character design is somewhat cartoon-ish but that is what makes this anime so unique. it doesn’t need much detail but you’ll get attached to the characters.

The anime about a orphan boy named simon. he is a digger in a small underground village. His adventure began when he found giant face and a small drill while he was digging. oh wait, his adventure began when he and Kamina met Yoko, who crasehd down from the roof of the village along with a huge robot. Simon showed the giant face to Kamina and Yoko all the while trying to fight the giant robot. Simon dug it out and discovered it was a miniature mecha. Simon used the small drill to start the mecha and fought the mecha. after they arrived on the surface they discovered these giant robots a.k.a. gunmen ,which are piloted by beastmen,are terrorizing the humans who dwell on the surface. they decided to go and end this. that is only the first half.

the second half is 7 years later after they have ended dispute between beastmen and humans and the whole world is in danger because the moon is falling.

this is such a masterpiece i don’t want to give anything out. so my summary sucks. anyway, my favorite character in this series died too early in the anime tha it made me cry with the characters.

i love this anime…. no words can explain it. although there are a few things unclear about the series but those things are trivial it doesn’t really affect the whole plot of the anime. anyone who loves anime must watch this. it is a must. i don’t have any comment about the american dub version. all i know is its kind of interesting but i don’t really know.
