Trauma

Mood: Busy Music: Everything But the Girl - Temperamental

Damn, I'm so busy but enjoying all the work except the papers and stuff. If your my classmate in HUCOINT and didn't join our group for the project, we're going to blow you away. I've been preparing a lot for this for the past three days. For those who've seen my previous work with Macromedia Flash (emphasis on RELSONE play I think), you better see this because the Z axis has been added to my line of work in graphics and design. I remember having one conversation with the Andrews (Shorty and Pugo) talking about why I didn't want to buy food even if I was starving to death already. I didn't want to spend that time (everyday at the canteen actually) because I was saving my money. Mark asked what I was saving for and I replied, "I don't know actually". He started to think (consider the lag times and latency) what I could be saving for, enumerating one by one of what I wanted to buy, "a bass guitar, a bass amp...". I continued on, "Yeah, I've got everything I wanted. I could die happy now. My life is already complete. [laughs] I have shallow materialistic goals". I've been mentioning "dying happy" a lot and I've been thinking, "That's right. I don't know what to do next". So at least I could die now with contentment but I still feel that something's still missing. Something that I need to achieve or do. I can't tell but I guess that's for destiny to tell. Haha! Last Friday night, my parents pulled out two of my teeth. Two mollars (I think), one on each side. Those dental tools are scary even if I've grown with those in my own house. I just noticed that one of my fears is needles. So after that, I was working late and the anesthesia's effects were still there so I was unaware that I was drooling already. Moving forward, with only five hours of sleep (and same goes to the previous night), I went to AUP to pick up my siblings. I had a long talk with one of my high school intern teachers. It was torture of a story retold about where he studied before, talk about our president and government (then more politics) and Catholic education. I saw Omar and Jot. That night, my dad and I bought his new laptop. This is some sort of quality time for us (bonding). The specifications that he was looking for was one with a graphics chip with extensible desktop display (dual-heads), built-in card reader and wireless ready. He saw me using two displays and wanted one too. After reducing the choices to two and bargaining, we got our choice. The Compaq Presario M2000 (M2223AP). Added a Lexmark printer to our collection of Canons (3) and HPs (3). Specifications:

• Intel Centrino 1.6GHz/WLAN 802.11b/g
• 256 MB RAM
• Intel Integrated Sound and Video (XGA 15")
• DVD/CD-RW drive
• Bluetooth
• 6-in-1 card reader

Not bad but the change for smaller Altec Lansing speakers compared to the JBL Pro of my X1010AL, reduces the appeal. It came with XP Home S/P2 and a bunch of memory hogging, useless, bundled software which was pre-installed and had to remove. As for my phone, it's not bad but I find the camera next to useless. Just sixteen minutes left when I checked before a rendering job is done. I better get ready to start working again. Ah, hell week.
