Looking Up

Whew, that was one hell of a Christmas day. Truth be told, that was one of the best Christmas days I've ever had. I never expected that everything—even if they looked horrible on the days before Christmas day—would turn out great in the end. I'll make this post short, sweet, and to the point. What did I do this Christmas? I watched a movie, alone, in this mall. After that, I went to the bookstore (where I usually hang out now). I read a good book, although I didn't quite remember the titles of the books for some reason, darn. Then I went to my best friend's house and spent the rest of my Christmas day there. Things could've been better, but I'm happy to see that things are starting to improve.

[REVIEW] My Girlfriend is a Gumiho

Image
It's about time I finally decided to write a review about this show This show's review is waaaaayyyyy overdue and I finally decided to write, sorry for being such a lazyass :/ Okay, enough of that, let's start! CAST CHA DAE-WOONG Cha Dae Woong is just your plain Korean man aspiring to become a big actor in Korea. Since he lost his parents at such a young age, he was raised under the house of his grandfather ever since he lost his parents. GU MI-HO Gu Mi-ho (or as we like to call her, Mi-ho) is a legendary 500 year old nine-tailed fox that was sealed inside the painting of the Samshin Grandmother. She tries to find a man in order for her to become human and happily live in the human world. In early times, no one in the village wanted to marry her because of the rumors that she ate human livers at night. Even though a man was selected to marry her, no woman in the village allowed their men to be married to the alleged liver-eating, l...

ENOUGH

*Listening to Avril Lavigne's "When You're Gone" on YouTube* Fuck, that's enough. I'm sick and tired of this depression. I don't want to have these regrets any longer. I want closure, a proper one. If I'm going to start to improve myself for the better in 2015, I might as well start today. After all, I'm behind schedule a little bit. I need to start planning on what to do, where to go, what college to apply to, what course to take, and all that other NECESSARY stuff. First thing's first, I need inspiration. Now, as you all know, I have this fucking gaping hole in my heart that can only be filled by love or some other kind of bullshit. If I'm going to do this, I need an inspiration. Someone to look up to. A reason to make me move mountains. After hours of looking, I can find anyone to be my inspiration. I got none. My first pick would've been Jessica, but I heard that  she's going to get married with Tyler Young and possibl...

Reminiscing

Every now and then, I find myself just staring at air, mostly at nothing, and I don't even know why I'm staring in the first place. But, as far as I can recall, I've been starting to miss past events, reminiscing, and just remembering the things I've done and wishing for things I could've done, but never really did. Also, there are those regrets that I've made, choices I've made that negatively impacted my life/relationship with others and I get sort of "extreme guilt" whenever I think to myself, "Hey, why did we do this? Why? What forced us to do this?" And so, I've decided to just spill my feeling out here (as always) on my blog and hopefully someone can understand, or at least TRY to understand the current situation that I'm in. I've also decided to cut this story into 4 parts:  Reminiscing , Regrets , Things I Have Done , and  Things I Could Have Done but Didn't Really Do . In this post, I'm going to start off w...

This Month in Detail: Clash of Clans

Image
Um, hi! Nice to, er, see you again! Sorry for not posting for, like, 14 days, eheh. But this November has been...well, normal, I guess. As of now, starting November 30, 2014, I will start a new series called "This Month in Detail." It will show the highlights of what I did this month for all you guys and gals out there. Also, it's a way for me to keep track of my progress and the things I've been doing each month. I'm pretty sure it'll help me out a lot, and I hope that you all with (hopefully) like it. So, you might be asking, "What happened this November?" First, I started playing Clash of Clans . I'm going to put that first because it's the only "noteworthy" thing I did this November. Anyway, I started playing Clash of Clans on November 21, 2014, right after our tests. It was a Friday and I didn't have anything to do. These past few weeks or so, I've been seeing my colleagues and some of my fellow schoolmate...

The FX League - Chapter One, Part Two: Cynthia

Image
"Ow, watch it, will ya," said the girl. "Sorry, I've never used a suit like this before and I don't know how to pilot it," he replied. The girl soon stood up and helped him up. "You see the yellow button on your left wrist? That controls the flight stabilizers and switches your suit into glide mode. For some reason, yours has been turned off," she stated. "What's your name, kid?" she said out of curiosity. "My name is Lance Anderson." "Oh, yeah, it's on your holo card on your suit." "Hm? Oh the holo card, of course." "So, what's your name, miss?" "My name is Cynthia ," she said in a cute voice. "Oh, ha ha, I see. Well, thanks for helping me out, I better get to my sector now, bye!" "Sure, teehee! Bye!~" Lance was assigned in building 2, cluster E. The assignments at FEISAR were arranged by rank or skill in AG piloting. The clusters are from A-...

(Belated) Happy Birthday, The Metro Diary!

Image
My blog back then. My blog now. I don't have a screenshot of my very first blog layout, sorry. Anyway, happy birthday, The Metro Diary! My blog's actual "birthday" was on October 8th, to be honest. I kinda got pushed back because of my laptop's old hard drive failing, me just being lazy, and other reasons. Sooo..yeah, it's been quite a ride, actually. I started out with nothing and here I still am, with nothing xD Well, I have a blog and a few readers, that's gotta be something, right? Back then, I started out with only a few people visiting my blog, now I got more people, I won't specify how much, visiting my blog. I would like to thank the SONEs who have visited my blog in search for links to Tiffany's Xanga blogs and for everyone else who helped me out looking for Tiffany's old Xanga blogs. To celebrate, here's that picture of that ever-so-perfect  chocolate cake: Hopefully, when my blog turns 2, I wil...

Out with the Old, in with the New

Image
Okay, my first "big change" this November is going to be my main music player. Notice I said, "main music player" instead of default music player. That's because Windows Media Player is still the best "lightweight" music player in my books. It has a library, sure, but who cares? When I open a song, I just want to open that song, not the entire album and my entire fucking library. Windows Media Player will do just fine for that job. Over time, I grew tired and sick of Zune's design. After I got my new hard disk, I quickly installed the 64-bit version of iTunes for Windows . I never really knew that Apple had already released a new update for iTunes to make it look more like iTunes on OS X Yosemite (which is a great operating system, by the way) and I was shocked when I saw the update. My first reaction was, "Wow, this thing looks beautiful. A sleeker interface, less shadows, less gradients, cleaner-looking fonts (Helvetica Neue...

The FX League - Chapter One, Part One: The Beginning

Image
It was 3 AM, time for Lance to pack up all the stuff he needs for his first day at FEISAR University. He packed up his stuff and rode the school hovercraft to FEISAR University in London, England. Shortly after arriving, he was given a MechaGrav™ suit by a robot that waiting at the school entrance. "The suit allows you to levitate and explore the other facilities here at FEISAR; it is also important when racing in an AG craft, as the suit is covered in a supercharged antiplasma barrier when racing to lessen the radiation from the engine core of the AG craft. Please observe and follow the proper rules and regulations set at FEISAR University. Thank you, future pilots, and have a nice day," an announcer said over the intercom. Lance put on the suit and then a cyan-colored light flowed through the circuits of the metallic-white suit. He then started to feel almost weightless and jumped, heading to the school cafeteria. Since he was new to the suit, he didn't know h...

The FX League - Prologue

Image
This story follows the original storyline, and timeline, of the popular anti-gravity racing series called " WipEout ." This story was also based on the WipEout storyline as well as timeline. You would see some events events that took place in this story almost similar or exactly similar to some of the events that happened in WipEout . Like I said before, and I'll say it once again for the sake of clarity: This story is based on the original storyline, and timeline, of the popular racing series called " WipEout ." Yes, the video game series " WipEout " actually had a storyline, although not as prevalent in the games. This story follows the life of an AG pilot named Lance Anderson as he goes through life in  FEISAR University and as he competes in the world-famous FX league, taking place in the year 2184, right after " The Great Depression " that was caused by the fallout of the F9000 Anti-Gravity Racing League . Taking place in...

The FX League

Click here to view the prologue A few weeks ago, my laptop's hard drive broke down and I was left with nothing to do for weeks. I got bored, I had nothing to do, I had no laptop, so I decided to write a story instead. Like most ideas, I started from scratch, I don't want to reuse an existing story that I made. I decided to choose the general theme my new story. At that time, and up until now, I loved the anti-gravity video game " WipEout " so much. It had teams with futuristic AG craft, an incredible background story, and it had that " futuristic feel " that I've always wanted in games. Because WipEout already has a storyline and timeline, I decided to use that and integrate my story from thereon out. Although the story wasn't prevalent in the games themselves, it still has an awesome background story that I found interesting and it would be great if I could use that. As for the characters, I didn't actually who to put in. I ...

Waiting for a Miracle

Well, this is . . . . weird. My life suddenly took an unexpected turn; unfortunately, that turn made my life even WORSE than before. My laptop hard drive is still destroyed and my parents aren't buying me a new one, that's for sure. I'll be blogging from my phone from now on, and it's really hard to type there. My life has seriously gone downhill from, like, September or so. 2014 is the WORST year for me, to be honest. This is the year where a lot of bad stuff happened. There were some good times, but the bad times were more prevalent and significant. I got to tell you, 2014 didn't turn out quite like what I expected it to be. Jessica leaving SNSD, the dating issues, the death of EunB and RiSe, my laptop hard disk died, the crushes that I had this year, the new enemies I've made, Ebola, ISIS/ISIL, and all that stuff. Sometimes I just wish that I can bring back time, turn the clock back to 2012. The year where everything started. 2013 was ...

Brink of Destruction

Well, it seems that my life has taken a downward turn/spiral/whatever you call it. My laptop hard disk is dead, I have a kidney stone, my health is slowly deteriorating, and worst of all, my grades are dropping. I know, I've been offline for a long time, and the main reason of that is because my laptop hard drive suddenly died. It gave up, it couldn't take it anymore. It died leaving all my data that I haven't backed up to OneDrive corrupted. First of all, I would like to extend my sincerest apologies to everyone who believed in me, I failed you guys. I would also like to apologize to my blog readers for being on a hiatus, I'm really sorry. It's time to pay the price, the moment where everything changes. I'll end this post with a quote from the movie " The Day the Earth Stood Still ": "Well that's where we are. You say we're on the brink of destruction and you're right. But it's only on the brink that people find the w...

Insomnia

Ugh...I want to sleep, I really do. I've been having trouble sleeping these past few days sleeping and, recently, I've been finding myself sleeping in class. This is not good. I need to sleep, I want to  sleep. No matter how hard I try, I just lie on the bed the whole night moving around and thinking about stuff. I just want to sleep without all these things bugging me, is that too much to ask for?

After what happened between Sofia  – yes, her name was Sofia – and I, I decided to repair myself and, you know, start over again. I'm going to make this post short, sweet, and to the point because I'm soooo tired and I feel like "marrying my bed" again xD Kidding aside, this whole Sofia thing started to make sense. I found out the thing that rocked me to my core: She lied to me . This whole time she was lying to me. Now, I'm not here to put my assumptions out here in the open, no, I'm just here to state some of the facts and shit I've uncovered after finding out her oh-so-clever plot. So, she told me that she loved me and all that crud. When in reality, she had a boyfriend this whole time. She kept telling me that she loved me and that I have a chance on becoming her boyfriend, and with the hope of being in a relationship with her. Not only that, I also found out that some guy – some spawn of pure evil, a person whose life is completely ...

Looks Do Matter

Image
Okay, after asking some of my friends, I've noticed that my blog looks so different on Google Chrome 64-bit . After visiting my blog using Google Chrome, I've realized that it did look different. (Well, the fonts for post titles did.) I didn't know that it looked different because I often used Internet Explorer. Because I use Internet Explorer often (well, Internet Explorer 11 for Windows desktop, to be exact), I designed my blog for IE. (Sure, I added a scrollbar for Google Chrome users, but I didn't really need that in IE and it's just eye candy for some.) [Update 1] This is how my blog is supposed to look like now: Here's a screenshot of how my blog is supposed to look like: Because I designed this blog specifically for Internet Explorer 11, you will see this blog in a much more better quality when visiting this blog using Internet Explorer. In the following screenshots, I will show you how my blog looks like from 3 differen...

Downhill

Well...it seems like my life is, uh, hitting the shitter. This depression has taken a huge toll on my health and I look like shit in person. My head hurts and my grammar is starting to suck. (It almost always does.) What's worse is that this year's tragedy is way, waaaayyy worse than last year. I'm sick, literally. I'm depressed. I'm angry. I'm agitated (for no apparent reason). Worst of all, my immune system has (almost) given up on me.. I don't know what has happened to me..I wish I can go back and tell my old self, "Kid, don't do it. Falling in love is not worth the risk. Prevent it while you can." Whatever, I don't know anymore..

The Fall

.......  ..umm..I have received some very disturbing news today and, well, let's just say that it shook my core..  It was around 3:20 when I heard the news, when she told me that she immediately decided to decline my request because she heard something bad about me..  ..ummm..yeah, it's over, time to go into a spiraling depressed jam-packed with dark thoughs and an endless amount of depression..  Like Tom in the movie 500 Days of Summer, I need to be depressed and be a lump of yyyy again..I think we deserve this..

Is There Still Hope?

I gotta admit it, this week was the worst week of my entire life. I got all this stuff going through me and I can't handle it anymore. I honestly think that my heart cannot handle all this sadness, misery, and pain anymore. I'm starting to think that I wasted all my efforts on nothing. I'll just face it and say it here: All my efforts for Janine were fruitless, futile, stupid, and all in vain . I've realized now that I never had a chance with her in the first place. The made an eternal promise to each other, and until now she's keeping her end of the promise. For those who don't know, I just found out that SHE MADE AN ETERNAL PROMISE WITH HER EX-BOYFRIEND TO LOVE HIM FOREVER AND EVER and all that stuff. My body, heart, and soul is getting tired from all of this. I just want to have it simple, no complications whatsoever. Sure, there may be a lot of you guys out there who think, "Oh, come on, dude! It's just a promise, she'll break her prom...
