Kuroshitsuji Manga!

I HAVE THEM!!!!

I went to WakuWaku earlier this afternoon with friends TC and Lev to get the first five volumes of the Kuroshitsuji series!!!

o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

Vol 1 Cover

Pictures below.

Vol 5 cover

Vol 1-5 packaged

Ah finally. Finally finally!! These are just the first five volumes, but I'm as happy as can be. Why?

For two reasons:

1. It's original Japanese manga :*:・(￣∀￣)・:*:
2. I can proudly say "I support Toboso Yana-san!" ☆-( ^-ﾟ)v

Sooooo yeah!

Can't wait to snuff through the pages in all its original language glory, pinch myself again and again that I have original manga in my hands. ﾍ(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ

Happy day happy day!!

Return of the Nyan

Good morning! (・∀・)

After my new haircut I'm back to having my nyan hat back on just because. ヾ(▼ﾍ▼；)

Above is my morning look on a typical Tuesday, in my usual spot in the new ALLS venue. Today's a sorta special day 'cause it's my godfather Uncle Pat's birthday today! He's my Sirius Black so to speak since he lives in the US so I only get to see him when we go visit or on rarer occasions, he comes home to visit. So hooray~

Not much to talk about save for announcing a new fanfic I'm composing as per requested by a good friend of mine. They want me to make a Tenipuri Momoshiro x Echizen Valentine's Day themed fanfic, and I took this morning to start it out. Hopefully I'll get it finished in the coming days. (o^-')b

Finally, later this afternoon after my 10:30 class and partaking in lunch, I'll be running over to WakuWaku to purchase those Kuroshitsuji manga I was talking about in some previous post. I can't wait to get my hands on them! Will post a picture with them later on when I get home. :D

At the New ALLS

Hello friends!

I forgot to blog last week about the relocation of our lab! :D It's still in the process of being redecorated and stuff but in the long run it's much more spacious! :D You can tell too that my place is by the window, right across the door. xD Fail. Will upload another picture later of the other side of the room later when I get home. :3 EDIT: Added a new picture below!

The Haircut

So I just got back from the parlor from another haircut~

It's always fun when I'm in the mood for a haircut since the first few days after I can be silly and have some form of semblance with my look-alike in some other part of the world, -coughMatsushitaYuyainJapancough- but sadly I have no recent picture decent enough to put side-to-side with mine so I leave it up to my readers' imagination, photographic memory or Google skillz . xD

Eventful Days

So first was usual Saturday morning class. Woke up at 7, snoozed until 8, showered and drove off to class, thankful that Katipunan was not as crowded with the downtime of the ongoing Ateneo College Entrance Test or ACET. Got to school and parked by 8:40, in time for my 9am class that only lasted until about 11 in the morning so we could avoid traffic piling up with the rush of cars coming to and from Ateneo.

Since my parents were coming in later tonight I essentially had the rest of the afternoon to myself and decided to visit Kai again, who's sporting an aching sprain to her ankle. Spent the afternoon there until I went back home around 5:30 to wait for the parents to come back so the family can go out for a late dinner, which was at around 9pm. Mom had come back from Dubai and it could serve as an actual celebration for Dad's birthday last Wednesday~

We ended up eating at Red Kimono in Techno Hub. Ah, how rice makes you full. ~u~

Anyway, with every trip there's always some souvenirs, and here were mine~ Clockwise starting from top right I got a hat, a pack of KitKat Pop Choc, a blue Terner watch and a shirt. :D

 Thanks mom!!! 8DD I shall happily nom the KitKat. ~u~

Lunch Trips

So today is my dad's birthday! He went out on a flight today and won't be back until tonight, so yeah.

I went to school later than usual, so the usual premise of ordering from the school cafeteria was thrown out the window since I got to school by 11 (when delivery starts) and TC wasn't answering my text. So we just decided to eat out again!

In attendance this time around was just us three: me, TC and Keem. We decided to eat at Sinangag Station, a neat place located at the FBR Arcade building right beside Wakuwaku. There were a lot of interesting choices of '-silog' meals at affordable prices, so happy day~

EDIT: Pictures of Kim and TC~ :D

After I had Baconsilog, I shuffled over to Kuya Joma, owner of WakuWaku, and I spotted him putting a bundle of original Kuroshitsuji manga volumes 1-5!!!! So doing some quick thinking about what I need to save up for and such, I asked him to reserve them for me for purchasing next week. Can't wait!!!

Oh, and afterwards, we stopped by Dairy Queen so I could get myself a Blizzard and avail of the free 12oz-16oz upsize. Mmm Choco KitKat. ~u~

PHDQ Lunch and Dessert

So today was a typical Monday. Since everyone was having a fresh start, that equally meant that more often than not the allowance we bring along for food expenses are of a high denomination, usually in the greater than Php100 bill category (in my case, Php500). So instead of doing the usual routine of ordering from the usual school cafeteria as we always do for lunch - and not to mention the fact that we were worrying ourselves over advisement that sat precariously close to our class time of 11:30 (it started 10:15), we just decided to break in the expensive bills and eat out instead.

In attendance were TC, Keem and Enzo. We headed off after our class and crossed the blue bridge, still undecided of our final destination. We passed by the new Regis Building where the new branch of Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf was located, and my sister Tracy had spotted me and waved hello. xD Anyway, still undecided on where we go, I ended up giving the verdict of eating at Pizza Hut. That being said, it was all an ulterior motive leading up to eventually indulging in some Dairy Queen right beside it afterwards.

So after we seated, the Php198 Set for 2 Super Panalo Meals caught our attentions as we decided to get two of each; TC and I split one, and Keem and Enzo another. The Cream of Chicken was surprisingly good, as was the garlic bread. ~u~ It was funny how we were debating the stipulations of the whole '10 minutes or your meal's free' thing, but decided not to bother about it since the food was actually scrumptious in hindsight.

And then of course came the plague of temptation. I easily gave in and hopped over to the other side to get myself a 6oz Blizzard; the usual Choco Kitkat. TC however was having more worries about whether to try his taste buds at the Green Tea w/ Oreo Moolate. He eventually got one, and as we retook our seats, still not asking for the bill, we eventually did and paid accordingly. The long wait, surprisingly, was waiting for the change and the receipt (which was just Php4, mind you). I had already finished my Blizzard and TC was near halfway through his Moolate before we had reminded one of the servers to follow-up our receipt.

In the end, we decided that it wasn't worth ringing their bell (the one when you signal that you thought the service was good? Yeah). Ah well. Maybe next time.

Driving Adventures

So today was a less-than-ordinary day.

Mom was flying out to Dubai again for work-related business and Dad wasn't going to be back until after lunch. And since my class wasn't until 11:30 - which in this case would be the only one who'd benefit - my dad asked me if I could drive Mom to the airport. Her flight was at 10:30, but of course she needed to be at the airport by around 8.

While I wouldn't exactly complain since I actually paid attention going to and from the airport during several other occasions, the experience is always different as a passenger and as a driver in my case so yeah. But a quick look at the map gave me the directions I needed to head back from the aiport since the route going would be covered by coaching from Mom.

So yeah, today, I woke up when I usually would for my Tuesday-Thursday schedule to bring Mom. Surprisingly, even with the traffic, we got there by 8 and I got here to school at around 9.

And today is mine and Kai's 34th monthsary!!! ^o^/

Tooty Frooty

My usual fix of lollipops is back thanks to the array of candy here in ALLS! Frooty Pop or whatever they're called. xD And yes, I've been wearing my 'nyan hat' to school for the past few days and it's a tell-tale signal that I should seriously get a haircut soon since my hair is already flying away. xD Mmmm cherry and grape. ~u~

Ailing Body

So for the past few days I've realized how my body has been aching in more ways than one. The prominent problems I've had lately concern my right wrist - which complains when I push myself up, and now my left ring finger for reasons I don't even know. I'll try sleeping on it tonight and if things continue to cause problems I'll go and visit the school clinic to get it looked at.

Actually, my dad already offered to take me to the clinic to have it checked since I came down to dinner with said finger taped to my middle finger just to keep it from bending since that's when I feel a sorta pain that I can't really describe all too well.

Now that I think about it, most of my joints seem to complain of pain every so often. I wonder if I should go see a doctor and get a check-up about all this. Ah well. We'll see where it takes us. For now I'll head to bed since it's past midnight and I have class in a few hours. Orz.

The Arrival of the 'Ber'

So September has arrived!

I think I wanted to kick this off with pictures from yesterday, because I was too preoccupied to make an entry. Maybe it was because I was procrastinating worrying over my orals today. xD

So a little background. Our adisier came back from her trip abroad and brought home this box of Giant Chocolate Pocky!!! And if anyone's wondering, the headband I have over my forehead is the instrument we're using for our thesis, and I was testing it out during this time. XD

 Mmmm, a big stick of Pocky = more chocolatey. ~u~ I'm happy.

Those Normal Blog Entries

This will be short and sweet, mostly because I'm not at home and I don't really want to spend so much time typing up needless things, and splashes of water are falling onto my palms. xD Anyhow, just wanted to point out that while the strong rains have ceased, the winds haven't around here so it's pretty neat to a point, but here's fingers crossed that the weather doesn't backfire, especially since I'm not in the house. @.@

New Hat

So the family went out to lunch today at Kimpura, TriNoma to celebrate Dad's return from his Belgium trip. It was the first time we sat down at a teppan, where the chefs cook teppanyaki in front of you.

And since were were in the area, I finally bought something in Comic Alley after the longest time: Yei for a new hat~

Meow~

Rainy Commute

One of few times I commute going to school and it rains when I leave the house. I surely had the mind to call a taxi instead but thought of the waste of money so there.

But today in school we had day 3 of our Improvisation Workshop which is basically the essence of our Game Design CS class. Lots of fun. ~u~

An Overall Good Day

So today was a rather pleasant day, minus the overcast grey skies and light rains that greeted me exactly when I was walking around going places. Today was a day I took Kai out to lunch at Teriyaki Boy then dessert at Cerealicious; one of the few dates we have where I actually offered to pay for all things edible. Not that I minded since I was itching to get things back on track after the few misunderstandings we've had over the past few days. Plus she looked gorgeous so I ain't complaining. x)

What I would complain on was the service during lunch. It's almost quite nostalgic really that whenever bad service befalls me when I'm out with Kai, my temper is as quick to burn as my dad's whenever an order was forgotten or it was just plain wrong. Then again, that's the trouble when your server doesn't write the damn order down on paper. First it was assumed we were having it for take-out, then one of our sushi orders was wrong (Futo Maki instead of Tekka Maki). Since Kai's aware of my short temper I told her to deal with the servers so I wouldn't blow my top. But ugh. Jeez.

Then Cerealicious. Sweet, yummy, good. As simple as that. You can never have enough good cereal with snow milk like that.

And then afterwards, we parted ways and I made my way back to school with plenty of time to spare for my 3pm class. While waiting outside my classroom, I noticed that the lights were off, which was strange considering I recalled that there was supposed to be a class prior to mine. Peeking inside, I saw some things on the table and wondered if it was my teacher's (I'd later find out that said teacher was actually sleeping in there xD).

Anyway, while waiting, I finally got a text message from the ADSA concerning the parking violation appeal I had submitted some two weeks ago since I apparently parked in a reserved parking slot. Luckily, it was approved! But I was warned that should I ever get another parking violation I'd have to pay the fine. No biggie. Knowing what caused my initial downfall I'm sure not to make a repeat of it anymore so life was good. ~u~

Relocation

So today we found out that our beloved ALLS venue will be relocating to another room in Faura. More space, thank goodness. ~u~ We'll be moving as soon as we can to kick out the MIS people in F206 (hehehe). But I'm looking forward to the new more spacious area. Yei~ Note that ALLS is a little niche for us thesis-making folk. It's our little home while in school. x)

Souvenirs~

Dad just got back from visiting his mom in Belgium and came back with some awesome souvenirs. For starters, he got me a Brussels baseball cap. For someone who likes hats I have no complaints about adding more hats to the pile. And then there's the pièce de résistance: a Snowy keychain from my Auntie Trinket!

For people who don't know Snowy is Tintin's faithful companion and I've always liked him during my readings of Tintin comics once upon a time. It's a part of my childhood and we even had a dog named Snowy one time so having this makes me genuinely pleased. x)

Here's a picture!

Body Pains

So last Saturday I attended the org Sportsfest, Clash of the Clans with a Triwizard Tournament theme. So there was Basketball and Volleyball with a twist, Quidditch, Dama and the Third Task. Hahaha. It was a lot of fun despite the body pains that followed.

I played everything but the Third Task (relay) since things were already delayed. Sooo yeah. Quidditch was no joke, a rough game. @.@ I tackled and played like it's football, no joke. Hohoho.

In hindsight our batch won, but I paid for that by all these with a sore body. And since I'm allergic to Ibuprofen medication I can't take Alaxan to ease the pain. Buh-humbug.

Creative Pictorial

So with the holiday today my Creative Pictorial schedule continued this morning. Got out of bed, combed my hair, got dressed and zoomed off to school. I sorta kinda regret not having my pictures taken against the black background from the get go but that's okay. It still came out alright. 8D

The first one on the top left is the one I chose to be printed out. And what exactly was my theme for my Creative? Simple: Portraying my twin Matsushita Yuya! xD So you could consider this a cosplay of sorts. xD

Anyway here are some pictures from that pictorial~

Pictorials

Tomorrow is piling up to be an interesting day. Besides the no class day due to Quezon City Day, I conveniently scheduled my Creative Pictorial in the morning. What I plan to wear to it will be revealed when I get back with my soft copies. x) Hehehe.

Elizabeth

So a lazy Saturday afternoon had me finally finish coloring this long overdue page of Elizabeth Middleford from Kuroshitsuji. Whee~

Brainfingers

So earlier today my thesis partner and I had a scheduled Skype meeting with Dr. Andrew Junker, one of the leading researchers with the Brainfingers software that we're utilizing for our thesis. It was quite the interesting meeting since we had projectors flashed everywhere.

We learned a lot and have plans of playing around with the software a bit more and start tinkering with the game code for our thesis. Happy for that. x)

In other news, I got a parking violation ticket earlier today for parking in one of the supposed DSWS Carpool slots. -.- Ugh. Damn it all. I'm handing in my letter of appeal tomorrow.

Meet My Twin

So this is old news, but it took a picture on my phone to bring this up another time. The best thing to do is show you what I'm blabbering on about.

So what are we looking at? Well, this is just me and Matsushita Yuya, a Japanese male artist I've been fawning over for some time ever since I saw him on the first Kuroshitsuji Musical. Some of you may notice some resemblance. And that is exactly what I'm blogging about tonight. One of my blockmates swiped my phone and spotted Yuya's picture as my wallpaper and asked me if it was me. And I said no, explaining that it was someone else and she commented that he looked like me. And then proceeded to pass it around to the group of whoever was in the lab at the time. 

The verdict: Yes. It's confirmed. I have my twin. xD

Rant on Jeeps

On the way home the expected traffic brought about by the University of the Philippines College Aptitude Test (UPCAT) did not surprise me after my Saturday morning class.

What was particularly annoying that got me peeved was two jeeps overtook me from both sides.

Inconsiderate bastards. -.-

Grad Pictorial

Had my toga/casual pictorial for the yearbook earlier today. And if there's anything I learned, it's the following:

• never trust make-up,
• hair irons are cool, and
• have breakfast prior to sitting down to get your make-up done :|

I almost fainted since I felt light-headed. Thank God for water. 

Well, here's a result of that:

I also purchased the CD of the soft copies of all the pictures taken today so yei. x)

YakiMIX Buffet

So yesterday was my Mom's birthday. As with the celebration we headed off for a special dinner at YakiMix in TriNoma. Not wanting to miss out we reserved three days prior to guarantee a table and actually getting in. xD

And it. was. IMMACULATE! I've never had so much Salmon. xD

It's always fun to enjoy a meal once in a while, especially if it's Japanese buffet. Grilling and nomming and dipping and what have you. It was a good meal. Thanks family!

Rummaged Memory

So I was cleaning my closet some weeks ago and found a nice certificate. This was for my hosting during the JSP Week 2008: Nihon Festival Culminating Activity. Ah the memories. That was during my freshman year in college so yey~

Archer and Thesis

So yesterday my thesis partner Jason pulled out a few souvenirs he got during his JTA in Japan. I immediately took interest in this figurine of Archer from the anime Fate Stay Night and he told me I could have it if no one's taken it by the time I left after lunch. And no one did so booyah!

In other news, we received the go signal from our adviser to schedule our proposal defense!! 8DD Finally! That game design document will be the death of me. Next on the agenda is the art components for the game. But after I relax.

Potter Shirt

So as I was walking out of school I spotted a few Potter shirts that I couldn't resist buying one. x)

Props to WitTees for the design. :3

Thesis Update

So a quick update on my ongoing thesis with my partner Jason.

Well, we have a deadline of sorts to submit the proposal this week to our adviser. And perhaps the most challenging is integrating talk on agent design more than anything since it's the relatively new topic that we'll be delving into besides brushing up on the plot of the game.

Hoho. Thinking back I don't think I've really talked about my thesis very much. Maybe during the next entry I'll give you all the abstract. But for now, there's some Theology to study for!

New Phone

So today the family and I went to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 at SM Marikina. This was my second time watching since my parents wanted to watch it so hooray~

What's funny was in SM Marikina it was a free seating and the theater was hardly full, and the first two rows of seats in the very front were lazy boy seats. My dad and I decided to watch the movie there once we figured out how to recline the chairs. It was awesome. xD

And afterwards. AFTERWARDS I FINALLY GOT MY DREAM PHONE!!! TuT

My netbook webcam's a little blurry but you see the Samsung Champ Duos phone right there. One of the main reasons I wanted this was for its dual-sim functionality. I've been meaning to get a Sun sim for quite some time to avail of the unlimited texts and calls I could share with Kai. xD Yei~

The Dinner Before

IT WAS EPICAWESOMESAUCE!!


That is all I can really say after watching the final movie. A lot of tears surely spilled for some scenes, but also a lot of hearty laughs for the small inserts of comedies splayed throughout the film. But as people have yet to watch it I'll leave out any spoilers for now and just talk about the hours prior to watching it.

So after my 10:30-12:00 class and enjoying from Baked Macaroni for lunch, I zoomed off to Marikina with a coded car to spend the rest of the afternoon with Kai at her place with intentions to leave at 7:00pm once the coding was lifted for the day and headed to Eastwood.

Of course as the showing was at 9, we went to have dinner at the usual place of interest: Teriyaki Boy! And as is the usual with us, we order ourselves some delicious Shake Roll. I took some pictures you can find below. :D

 

The Day

Today is the day! The premiere of the last Harry Potter movie and as has been some form of tradition I gave myself since the 5th or 6th movie: I dress up a bit with the white polo and red & gold tie and bring along my wand originally made by my uncle and greatly modified (for one shortened and colored) by me for some prop. This is probably the first time I thought of taking a picture of things prior to watching Harry Potter but the phenomenon I've come to love so much is worth looking like a geek sometimes.

If only people knew I was attempting to cosplay. xD Who exactly, I have no idea. xDDDD

The End Is Near

"Our childhood ends tomorrow." -Kai, July 12, 2011

That's what my girlfriend said when I showed her the tickets I got us (c/o an Ateneo org ACTM) for the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. 

With the first book coming out in 1999 and the first movie in 2001, it's a bittersweet feeling to know that everything is ending tomorrow. The final book was released 2007 and tomorrow is the premiere of the final movie.

It's been 10 years over the span of 8 movies and I must agree that it is a phenomenon to get hyped up about, especially if you consider the parallelism during some instances when you read a book. Say you start reading the book the year it comes out in 2001 and you're 11 years old (like me!) so you're bound to immerse yourself into the world like Harry and Co. are. x)

This is bound to be awesome. ^o^/

Geekiness

This post was actually a day late in creation and publication for the mere reason that I was jumping for joy on one end and bawling the next. Why? Lots of reasons.

But before I go any further I just want to greet some birthdays. Yesterday was a special birthday. Tenimyu Seigaku 4th Cast's Fuji Syuusuke, Furukawa Yuuta. So a happy birthday to him. ^o^/

Now then, onto other things. First things first, we have results of the morning's class. Since it was a networks class we dealt with cables and what not. Yesterday we, learned how to make a LAN cable. Success below!

Then that afternoon, I was taking a nap to wake up to my dad coming home not long after with my new Acer Aspire One Netbook! 8D I'm composing this entry on it right now so the picture with the box is in my other laptop, so I'll edit that in later on. BUT, this wasn't all happy happy since I made a stupid mistake of wiping my USB clean while trying to make the other one bootable. After some searching high and low on the internet I finally found a program that could retrieve lost files. All that's left is to rename them and sort them out properly. Will take some time off my hands but well worth it that I got most of my files back untouched. TuT

Soundtracks

So I rummaged one of my cabinets for my CD cases from when I was still saving up Php450 to buy them at Comic Alley or during conventions when it was a bit cheaper.

I separated them into two piles, so pardon me for the blurriness of the pictures.

So this is the first pile. My Saiyuki album collection. I still have some lacking apparently but maybe in the future when I'm hoarding my own money I'll search for the missing ones and complete this little collection of mine! ^o^/

These are the rest of my anime soundtracks. Quite a variety too. So from top left, then left to right in succession: Fushigi Yuugi, Detective Conan, Beyblade, Yu-Gi-Oh! (2), Gundam Seed, GTO, Rurouni Kenshin, Shaman King, Yakitate Japan, Get Backers (2), Fullmetal Alchemist, Ranma 1/2, Gravitation, Slam Dunk and Flame of Recca

Inside Jokes

So earlier this afternoon I was spending my usual time between 12:30-3:30 in ALLS, and Dr. Wayne Patterson from Howard University, who was going to be giving a Cybersecurity Talk among other things tomorrow, was there. One interesting conversation that took place was when he was inquiring about the venue of a certain event that was going to be taking place at around this time when he was clarifying that it be 'on the roof' of some building in school.

I laughed, of course, and he was asking why.

Then I told him that it's more of a 'roof deck' than a roof because we mean that it's the top floor that could be considered the roof so there we go.

Some new terminology that he and I can laugh about whenever someone mentions having an event on the roof (which is not to say that it's actually on top of the roof itself). xD

Quotes - 04

My days in ALLS are never without laughter. Recently from my previous CS professor concerning some food being passed around, tone very much like a Pokemon trainer. xD

"Jason, return!" - Ma'am Jess, July 6, 2011 

When It's Cold

'Tis the season of rain and with it, cold weather and rainfall naturally start a'brewing. 

(＠￣Д￣＠；) 

So that usually means dressing up and hauling out the jackets and whatnot to keep warm and dry - at least for the most part. As I was getting ready to head off to school when rain started to drizzle/pour. I was initially just supposed to bring along my Invitational Jacket (the red/black/white) one to battle the cold but thought I needed a hood too so I grabbed my Uniqlo jacket as well. 

And so the double layer. ☆-( ^-ﾟ)v

I'm at ALLS right now waiting for 10:15 to come along so I can start heading to my 10:30 class in Kostka which is about a 5 minute walk away. 

Notebooks

Yesterday I desperately needed change to pay for lunch. So after I went up to the org room for the interview I stopped by the LS Bookstore and decided to buy a little notebook for Kai. She doesn't really fancy the Ateneo themed stuff so I normally browse around for general stuff and snagged this for her.

It cost me Php88.00 but it's well worth it since she enjoys doodling and writing so it'll be put to good use. ^^b

Rain, Migraines and Coke

So today was another average, lack of sleep, unproductive day. Why? Two reasons.

1. It rained (hard) sometime in the afternoon during my commute home
2. I've been experiencing chronic headaches/migraines through the course of the day.

=______= I may need to sleep to get rid of this darn headache.

In other news I stopped by McDonald's for a snack and decided to grab myself a Coke glass and got my favorite blue color~

Philo Reading

This first semester of my senior year in college rekindled my reading skills. Most of my core subjects (inclusive of Theology, Philosophy, History and Economics) require me to read some sort of material that ranged from excerpts from books, articles and sometimes actual books in the case of Philosophy.

I'm taking Sir Principe for Philosophy 103 this semester (Philosophy of Religion) and as we're his only M-W-F class he asked us to read 4 novels instead of just one. But hey that's less readings and more story so I'm down with that. Now we have a quiz this coming Wednesday on the first two chapters of the book and I'm currently moving along Chapter 2 with ease.

What's particularly interesting is that while it talks about an apparition and all (which I assume is the central message of the story) there are constant descriptions of sex (which are thankfully not explicit descriptions) that I don't really mind. I wonder why. :/

Epic Fail

So things didn't end up as we thought it would. Apparently my sister reserved tickets for tomorrow and not for today sooooooooooo we ended up not watching Transformers after all. Wanted to eat at Yakimix but was denied that too when the usual long lines stopped us. And so we decided to eat elsewhere: Italianni's. Whee.

Ah, weekend, what are you doing to us?

Surprise Movie Going

So this morning before we headed off to hear 11am Mass my sister announced that she reserved tickets for the family to watch Transformers: Dark of the Moon later this afternoon. Considering she's a Transformers fanatic (among many things) I wasn't surprised, but since our family sorta has been watching all the previous movies together I guess it wouldn't be too much to expect to do it again. After all, it's been a while since we all sat down and watched a movie together.

Go figure. :P

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2

THIS MONTH IS THE MONTH!

Counting down to the worldwide release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2, I can't believe it's almost over. I found this minute longer trailer that just. looks. so. damn. EPICAWESOMESAUCE. *o*

I've already got tickets reserved for July 14 at Eastwood Cinemas with Kai at 9pm so I'm looking forward to it. CAN'T WAIT!! :D

Watching this already made me see one of my favorite scenes from the book (Harry seeing his parents and the Marauders sans Wormtail) so I'm grateful that they stayed true to the book with that one.

Chicken and Dates

So yesterday because I had a car I went on a whim and took Kai out to dinner after my class. I picked her up with the decision to head off to Max's Fried Chicken to avail of the Chicken-All-You-Can promo while it was still within the period (June-July 10). From SM Marikina we decided to head to the QC Memorial Circle branch instead where there were surprisingly no overflow of guests or even a line prior to 6 o'clock so happy days. ~u~

It was a fun few hours, but despite the rainy drive to and from I'm glad that we got to spend some much needed time together. Love you Kai!
