Yet another absence, again due to health

In the final week of February, I was able to write about my life because I got sick of all the smokers I encountered on my last night out at the mall, and I lie in bed typing away on my Touch Pro. SERIOUSLY SMOKERS, CUT IT OUT. I've been there before, all right, nearly crushed by depression, having desired for a smoke, but I fought that depression, I overcame the desire, and that year I proceeded to actually do something in my life (JP-Eng fansub translating), and I've hated the smoke since then. It's no wonder why I'm irate, despite my hankerchief covering my mouth, there just had to be smoker after smoker killing themselves and everyone else around them, just STOP IT okay? You opened up old wounds. I stopped, and so can you. At least don't do it in such crowded public places like the mall entrance. Where the hell was I supposed to wait? It's a hired ride, and it's a drop zone. PUT IT OUT. It's RUDE to smoke in public places, especially places that have hundreds of people passing by every hour. Have some decency and learn some courtesy that hell, if others around you aren't doing it, then we sure as hell don't want to be breathing what you're spweing out. End rant.

Fellow fansubbers had always told me to watch my health. I do, and I thank all of them for reminding a stubborn growing-too-old-too-fast dude like me. But if it is inflicted on me by a third party, then I have to suffer for it. And it takes up valuable time such as the last half of February, especially when I had just come off the January incident.

And now I'm seeing reality again. No cute girl to nurse me back to health as I helplessly lay there on my bed, no badly cooked porridge to get me riled up, no naked aprons no female childhood friend crawling through the window no girl falling from the sky, nothing, just... the truth about reality. I've read lots of Manga, I've watched lots of Anime, and for once in my life, I envied the lead males of those stories all because one day, they were a normal, average male, and the next day he's Mr Popular. Anime and Manga and Eroge/galge/ren ai games have all let me down, as I ponder yet again: .....will I ever meet a tsundere? XD
Wait, of all the questions I had to ask myself, did I really have to ask that? I-it's not like I like tsundere's or anything. D-don't get the wrong idea!
I know I'm a guy with a zany personality and an odd aura about that just seems to draw curiosity from girls, but I'm gonna follow Steven Seagal here: "It's not a job. It's an adventure."

Fun adventure I'm on now. Now I'm going on a furious anti-smoking campaign, and Blogger had to bloody jam up their widgets. Here's something I had a laugh at that I saw recently, and this is for you smokers out there:

"To learn more about lung cancer, keep smoking"

A night on the town, Manila, PH. Laptop repairing, girls and more.

Still working on my panoramic skills 

Quite a ridiculous, somewhat sordid and amusing tale happened to me in the early weeks of February, which I ironically am able to finally type all because I am not feeling well (again). It starts off with my laptop's AC adapter dying out of the blue, causing me to have a giant question mark over my head as to why I was running on battery mode. Lucky for me the adapter has a light that goes on when it is working, and that light was dead. So I went to the mall a few times wondering if a place like Radioshack exists, and I came across a place called SST Laptop, supposedly, the laptop repair specialists. So I trotted out my lappy over to there, hoping I can leave with a functioning adapter, was told to wait 1-2 hours, and did so.

Laptop taking a long, long rest.

So, we've entered the 3rd day since my laptop took a dive. The AC
adapter deep-sixed. It bought the farm. It's DEAD. Zombie wa AC
adapter desu ka. Ok, I am enraged by the lack of Kore Wa Zombo that I
have been so lacking these days, as I can't stand the thought of being
away from my Seraphim for any amount of time.

It's a sad sordid tale of bad timing and above all, irony. Bad timing,
as in, through everyday use something such as a dead power brick is
the thing that shuts down my laptop. Irony, which I hate alongside
"coincidence", because I had loaned my old laptop to someone else and
what do you know, that one is still going strong. Oh well why don't
you use that? Well, I'm not the kind of guy to say "hey man, give it
back" especially since I have moved the HDD out and migrated to this
newer laptop, which is an SATA drive compared to the old laptop, an
IDE. So my first choice is to fix this laptop instead. Just need to
find the time to go out on the town again (which I should say it's not
a fun thing especially when I had done so several times the previous
week and for the first time, I felt the limitations of my hurting
right wrist). I'm not even going to mention that I admit I have been
spending more time with my DS lately, as I find stylus-based games
quite amusing as I don't think I can ever hold the DS normally
anymore. Or that part where I sheepishly admit that I have beaten such
a small amount of games that I have, and have never bothered to even
complete for what, 6 years now? lol

But that's where the loveley world of mobile device computing comes
in! Nowadays I can play up to 480p content on my smartyphones, so I'm
not left out Alone in The Dark! Which leads me to my preposterous
thought of wondering just how far can I take mobile blogging and
viewing/reading. Yes, the thought of waiting till who knows when to
fix my lappy has occurred to me, and the thought of actually creating
a completely mobile manga project has gone through my mind before as
well. Can I do it? Will I be able to go without my glorious 720p
viewing experience? Am I to watch the Transformers DoTM Superbowl spot
on my tiny screen? Find out... whenever that is. Ah, how amusing it is
of late. Even my iPod Shuffle has been seeing more action, as my
primary choice of music playback. I seem to be digging up neglected
devices...

In the meantime, I have this nice link for everyone... XD

Testing the MobilLogging of Blogger

Let's see how Blogger likes me posting via email... Hmm.

<!---More--->

What else is there...

Gone again? Why in the world...

Where do we begin? Not to take one from the Joker, but I honestly
don't know where to start. I guess, to put it simply, I ran into one
of those starvation things my blog seems so full of. Honestly, I lose
weight, gain a little, lose more, ridiculous cycle of something
unforseen. Not really in the mood to fill my blog with posts like
these so let's end this at that...

On the lighter side, thank God I'm still alive, so you won't be
reading an obituary here lol. As a matter of fact, if I was spirited
away there'd still be no obituary, considering the closed-source
nature of my life. I then decided that nothing on planet Earth will
last forever, so I'm going to go ahead and see if I'm sane enough to
start working on manga, starting off in a one-shotty way before
jumping into my series, sounds like a good idea for someone who cheats
death so often.

So, here I am, and here I go again resuming online duties. lol @ PSP NGP

Whoa, week Jan 2-8

My my, what a ridiculous week Jan 2-8 was. There was a lot of things this week, from real life down to anime. Let's get down to it.

- R.I.P. Marine Corps EFV. This was probably the most ridiculous news to cross my wires that hit me very hard. I have been following this program since its [publicly disclosed] revealing, and to see it cancelled like that hit me very hard. One of the things I never figured out, was that if these defense projects take more than 10 years to reach fruitition, it is dead obsolete from its inception. If you can't bring your weapon to war when you built it, don't even expect to win. Let it also be known that the STOVL JSF version has been pushed aside.

- CES 2011 has come and gone, and keeping with the news was a tough thing to do, but a little easier to handle since nothing of real interest came around.

- China's stealth technology demonstrator J-xx revealed to the world. A rather large aircraft, it leads me to wonder why SecDef Gates thought 2020 was a more plausible timeframe than 2010. In fact, what was this guy doing? Is Gates so hard up in defense spending that he didn't want to pay the extra data bandwidth just to visit chinese forums? This being the same guy who ordered mine resistant vehicles too late for Iraq, and the same guy who fired those knowledgeable about The 'stan when he is not the one on the ground there.

- On a lighter note, I finally got my HTC Touch Pro, very cheap (under $20), very much functional, and probably the final replacement for my Treo 750. But, not even that went well, as this country (the Philippines) has the most atrocious postal service (a corporation) in the world (at least the parts of the world I've been to), as this phone arrived in this country last year, but never delivered, prompting me to initiate a physical inquiry at the post office demanding some answers. You know it got bad when not even the super could find it, prompting a call to the delivery man who knew exactly where it was [perfectly hidden]. Explain that to me. (the guess was he was probably trying to have the 30 day package holding policy pass by so that he can have it for himself). I'm not even going to get into the treo replacement keyboard part I ordered last year as well, and yet to have.

- Postal issues aside, this week saw the retirements of my white LG KG800, and my HP iPAQ hx2415 (retired from frontline service). This Touch Pro will now handle all PDA related activities, as well as being the new platform for my drawing ability. Perhaps my Palm T|X will follow soon.

- Anime happenings go to my other blog.

- More 3DS bits came out, amusingly enough. Just when I decided not to post a post on the Animesuki forum about batteries still not advancing at the rate computers and smartphones do...

- On the question of my absence, I have been (ordered to) commiting to health rehabilitation, in a drive to better handle my body so that it won't go through those horrible illness' anymore. So that led me to only partake in a reading mode for my online activities. A lot to catch up to, huh. And my hand still hurts.

- Finally, the biggest piece of news to hit me hard, I know it is rather old news, but Stargate Universe has been canceled on the Syfy channel. Call me serious Sam, but it's not April, and I'm not laughing. Really, just when the story was getting good, we now have to live with a Season 2 episode 20 cliffhanger, with no word yet as to when that will be resolved. To say I'm disappointed, is an understatement. I am... only human XD
