Mistula
While I'm updating my version of Worpress into the rocking 2.5 release, let me introduce you to something I just found out now.
There's this virtual band called Mistula. And as far as virtual bands goes, they're the only one in the Philippines (all according to Wikipedia). Some of you might already know them, but since as I had told you guys that I don't watch TV, I just found out about them. Being a virtual band as they are, they're a bunch of BJDs that formed a band, and of course, in a J-rockish kind of way. I got introduced to this band just now by Kanji, my MySpace mate. He actually commented on a certain image of me, mentioning this band. At first, I didn't get what it meant. I honestly thought it was some kind of an unknown expression to me, but when I asked him, he told me it's actually a band that he thought I was mimicking. Well, I can't say anything about it really, since he doesn't know I wear those type of clothing in a casual basis. And I don't even need to tell him since it's not as important as breathing. Whatever.
Anyway, I haven't actually listened to their music yet (but I'm getting there), but as far as my artistic nonsense goes, I love their concept. Oh, and have I mentioned that I love their website too. You might wanna take a look at it, but I sorta love it, although it's pretty heavy because it's flash-made and all, it's pretty damn interesting. And it got me hooked and surfing it and wasted 10 minutes procrastinating (that's what I'm good at, anyway). ;)
I just dropped by to say that, so I'm off because I'm busy with work.
-edit-
I LOVE THE NEW WORDPRESS! (Yes, in full caps, and yelling!)
Forlorn Sailor
I want to run away and set sail
Where the waves would drift me to an unknown land.
Where the waves kisses the shore,
Where the sky embraces the clouds.
A place where I can breathe the air freely
Without suffocating from the cities pollution.
A place where I can drink water peacefully
Without the need for me to cough it out.
A place where I can run as much as I want
Without my legs being bound to the ground.
A place where I can be what I wanted to be,
Naked and unmasked.
I want to run away and set sail
Where the waves would take me to a place unknown.
There I would write my own book
And I would start it from chapter one.

Thank you Flamegod for the title.
23rd Year
It's the 23rd year since my birth as a not-so-quite human. As a celebration of my rebirth, I want a virgin sacrifice! *lol* For additional request, please chain him into a crucifix wearing ancient Greek clothes. *lmao*
Anyway, I would like to take this chance to thank the lovely people who greeted me in advance - my Lord, NecroKael and the beautiful creatures from The Sanctuary, my ever-so-cool workmates (you know who you are), Ran-ni-sama, Vera-onee-sama, Kuya Archie (who's V-cut I always forget), Kuya Myke, Gean (who even especially dropped by), James (who never fail to greet me each year), Scarlet Tears (OMG! Such an honor! ♥), Gabby (my old HS friend), Smoker23, Harumi, Abdee, Tony G and Jeromee (who will give me a Ducan Doll someday :P)!
Thank you so much! ♥
Btw, my birthday wish would be as usual - I want to be taller and fatter. X-P
Holy Friday
It's Holy Friday and just like the past years, Jesus Christ was supposed to die today and resurrect 2 days after. Sometimes it makes me wonder if he ever gets tired being beaten up to the point that he could not walk anymore, where his blood are all over as he seemed like crawling on to the floor, and after being treated mercilessly, he'll still be crucified each and every single year like this, by the people. I know it's only some sort of a remembrance thing or whatever you call it, but isn't it just cruel? If he would live like in the ancient Greek myths, this is like he's being thrown down to Tartarus to suffer eternally. It's just like another Prometheus who was chained in Mount Caucasus where his liver is being eaten by a vulture with each passing day as it regenerates only to be eaten again.
Anyway, did you know that here in Pampanga, people are very religious? The first time I came here, it felt like I'm some demon from hell with all the staring and people asking me, "Are you a Satanist?" Then, when I was enrolled in a Catholic university, it's where I learned of all the things religious people do such as prayers, mass, rosary and stuffs. They preserve religious traditions that you'll rarely see these days too, like religious parades. And since holy week is a religious thing, during holy week, you'll see tons of people here walking down the side of the roads beating themselves up to the point of them bathing in their own blood. Of course, taking aside the fact that I love the bloody scene of it, what I love most is that at around 5 pm or so of holy Friday (which is today), all of the people go to this certain place (usually a vacant lot) where it's decorated with leaves and everything just to have themselves crucified. But the thing is, I wasn't able to see them this year. T^T It's because its too hot to leave the house. I don't want to be burned alive just for the sake of watching someone being crucified. It's just too much and the person being crucified is not so important anyway.
If it were Yoshiki being chained all over or Gackt and Miyavi doing S+M, I'm definitely watching despite it being hot and all. I'll bring tons of tissue paper too for my nose bleeds. XD
Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi
Last Friday night, I just finished watching 太王四神記 (Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi), which roughly translates to "The First King's Four God Seals" (as far as I remember my Chinese correctly). It's English title is The Legend. It's a Korean TV series that was aired sometime in September last year, I think? I also saw this one on a Chinese channel before too and my dad was watching it and he even said it's good. Anyway, I've been watching it for two weeks after I saw the DVD at home three weeks ago and it ignited my interest. I'm a sucker for these type of mythical stories that involves wars and such with the martial arts and everything, so I took the bait of watching it. And my verdict? It's just plain crap. Taking out the fact of the beautiful graphics, and that Lee Ji Ah in that series is so freaking cute that makes me want to hug her, and of course, Lee Philip is extra hottie for that long hair and that silent yet I-rock-at-fighting type attitude (especially on horseback) that would make you drool over and want to strip him naked and tie him up a pole or something, but in general, taking note of the storyline and all, it's just as plain as a movie who doesn't have much of a plot. when it came to a few episodes before ending, the plot was rising and I went like, "Here it is, here it is! the plot that I've been waiting!" and after that, I fell down the bed where I was sitting. It's as if they drag out the plot from the storyline to portray a feeling of pity to the character, but it was in futile attempt and it seemed pathetic. I've seen tons of mythical war stories and among them this is the crappiest by far. I even prefer HanaKimi (oh, I love that manga, especially Umeda Hokuto) the Taiwan version more, though it's also crappy and OA at some point, over this series. And the ending is so freaking plain that being reminded of it, just makes me wanna cry in despair that I even spent my precious freaking sleepless hours just to watch it! That said, I'm regretfully screaming, give me back my time, damn it!
Genius
One thing that depresses me is some noob, who can't even follow some simple readme instructions from some bootlegged software, trying to act cool, playing with the PC settings, doing this and that without doing backups and everything, and at the end of the day, ended up deleting my entire hard drive without him even knowing what happened and what he had done not until a few days had passed. It was a confirmed total wipe out.
It does bother me that all my files were deleted. And yes, not even a file, damn it. But you know, what's even more bothering is that some person, who doesn't even have an idea about all this shit, even have the nerve to tell me that "my files aren't even important anyway". Well, now that I'm thinking about it, my entire life of J-rock and jazz mp3s, my anime collection (with special mention of Ergo Proxy), my entire manga collection (with the special mention of Kaikan Phrase, Haou Airen, Skip Beat, Vampire Knight, Trinity Blood, Ludwig Kakumei, and Hot Gimmik), my Saw collection, my digital art works, the vectors I spend hours on drawing, my website backups, my database backups, Kawaii Heaven's backups, my resume, certificate and awards not to mention my entire portfolio, were all deleted in a blink of an eye without me knowing it. I don't think anything else is important in it anymore, aside from those. To make it simpler, everything in there is goddamn important.
But what bothers me the most is that it seemed as if nothing happened. What am I supposed to do now, genius?
GPKISM
Recently, I've been all over this new band called GPKism who just recently released their album. I actually followed a link from Tainted Reality and was thinking exctly by the lines, "Oh my! She's so cute!" so I clicked a user's picture and boom! I got to GPKism profile. And then, I followed around links and even saw a fansite!
Isn't that logo pretty? I think so too. Anyway, GPKism a visual kei-like band who's music revolves around the mix or Baroque, gothic and electro/industrial. I haven't yet grasp if it's an Australian or a J-rock band because both members are a mix of it. But as far as music orientation goes, it falls more under the J-rockish category and it rocks! Record label? Darkest Labyrinth - you're regular J-Goth label. *lol*
So, let's get down to the members of the band.
First, this is GPK or Gothique Prince Ken. I was surprise to know that his name is Ken. To think that I used that name for years as a pseudonym before "Euri." I kind love that name, it has this manly yet gentle ring to it or whatever. Anyway, he's the band's vocals and he also does the composition. And yes, he's a guy, for goodness' sake. And yeah, you're right there, too. He was that -"Oh my! She's so cute!" person I was talking about earlier. I was also fooled. Nyeh! Either way, trap or not, I don't really care. You know I have this thing over guys who look feminine and their not gay! I haven't gone so far as to start stalking him yet, but I did try sending him messages through MySpace and he really responds! By by the looks of it, he's pretty nice, in general. I asked him if he's Japanese. He told me he's Australian. I don't have Australian friends so I couldn't really tell if he looks Australian or not. But as far as I could see, he's very J-rockish no? And of course, I'm adding his blog to my Google Reader, just like what I did with Yoshiki, Sugizo and Miyavi's blogs.
Next is Kiwamu - the guitarist. Everyone knows Kiwamu, so no need to elaborate on his profile. Yes, yes, "the" Kiwamu from BLOOD! Kiwamu is one of the best guitarist out there and as far as music is concerned, whatever he touches, he turns them into beautiful gold peices! Of course, I've also added his blog to my Google Reader in case of updates. I really love Kiwamu's shot in this image. I think this image was also in that 16 page booklet of their first album. No, I still haven't got my hands on it. Soon, soon! I've read reviews that the album is great. I tried listening to the the M3U of it over at CD Baby and it was seriously good. At least, in my opinion. It's pretty much my type of music as an over all. Therefore, I am so going to buy the CD!
To a Friendster BASTARD
To the BASTARD that floods me with GMA RESIGN related messages,
- You were the one who sent STUPID AND TOTALLY WORTHLESS MESSAGES to my message box and YOU, for the love of Satan, have the fucking nerve to insult me? Dude, are we picking on the right person here? Would you want me to drag you down to hell or something? Let me reiterate what you just called me - "malansang isda." And to think that you stole that from Dr. Jose P Rizal too. Tsk, tsk, tsk. JPR would feel dreadful that someone like you imitated what he said. You're not just an old fashioned bastard, you don't have originality as well.
- If you do not want to receive reactions as such that I did, THEN DON'T SEND MESSAGES AT ALL. When you send a message, you should be aware that there will always be chances of a reply. When you state an opinion, there will always people who wont agree with what you are stating. This, of course, does not include the fact that you are constantly FLOODING MY MESSAGE BOX, and less the fact that I disagree.
- I care less of whoever hell sits there as president, it won't change a thing anyway. Whoever sits there will always be someone who is corrupt. There is no such thing as an "uncorrupt politician", and people aren't just born yesterday.
- Do you expect GMA to just get her fat ass down that comfortable chair just because people are yelling all over the place and telling her to do so? If you want GMA to get her ass down, a mere message wont get through. Even if you write a thousand messages and flood us a thousand times, it WONT get through. You know why? Think about it this way, WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? Some big shot of an ass? You're just another person in a million dozens of people. Just some guy in the crowd of people who doesn't have lives. To make it simpler - YOU'RE A NOBODY. If you're a nobody, do you think, SOMEBODY (like GMA) would listen to YOU, the NOBODY? Of course not.
- My best suggestion to get GMA out of the presidential position is to KILL HER on the spot. It's disturbance free and hassle free for the people. You'll never know, people might elect you as the next president too, if you have enough luck. Just make sure, when you sit on that godly position, you wont blunder money, else, other people might kill you too and get their asses on the presidential seat afterwards, and so the wheel goes and and on.
- If in case you would end up killing GMA, remember to call the media people. They'll love the scoop. Because they're just crazy for those kind of junks. It's their job too after all.
PS: You've been removed from my friend's list, blocked from my account FOREVER and reported as spammer, all for the godly reason that you are flooding and/or spamming me with stupid junks like you.
PPS: I read over your status message that you failed your entrance exams over at UST and PUP. Awww... too bad for you. That's what you get for being a fucking bastard. Now, how about wearing black tee and tight jeans to lent over it? I'll lend you my favorite cooking knife for wrist cutting too. I would love to mix your blood in my pet's foot. Be sure not to spill a drop on the floor, it'll be wasteful.
