First of all, this video is not mine. I just found it while surfing in yahoo and located one in youtube.



Beware... It's out there, somewhere...

Yesterday's sky was beautiful. I want to hit myself for not being able to update my blog on the exact day but, oh well. A friend and I were talking about our life choices. I feel kind of weird that we actually agreed on something even though it's no surprise for us to agree since we're friends. We talked about experiencing that sensation when one's surroundings just completely melt away in a blur and then we would just stand there thinking--What am I doing here? I don't belong here...

I'm having thoughts about my course. I believe that it's not what I want. And it's downright stupid that it took me this long to finally figure something as simple as that. I passed our midterms in Accountancy, yes. But I still have three (plus one for summer) more semesters to go. How many Accountancy subjects would that make? But I'm already buried too deep in this hole so I might as well finish the course (if I can) and get on with mytr life. But you know what? Ever since I was in grade school I've always told this to myself--I'm tired of living a lie.

It's as if the sky was mourning our loss that day. The sunset was very amazing. It enveloped the entire place with an amber glow that made me think that we had traveled back in time or that we somehow warped in a realm of fantasy where everything is at complete peace. It was magical. But then when darkness settled in, everything looked so gloomy. Such is life's lies, which at first would seem glorious but then would turn horrific without anyone even noticing anything before it's too late. I've been in darkness for so long and while its embrace may be soothing, I long to find a spark of light to guide me away from it all. Am I even worthy to catch a glimpse of one?

Anyway, on a brighter note, I have finally finished choosing the sounds for our stage play. Not all went according to my personal preference but I have to please our professor so yeah. There are music that I like but there are some that I don't think fits the mood but what could I do. I'll just take it as a challenge and we'll see what happens when the play takes place.

Until next entry.

Why? Am I cursed not to do the thing I want the most? Arts is my field, I can sense it. Numbers, who needs them? Balancing? It only corrupts. But art, art is pure. It shows the emotions raging from within an individual's heart. It shows one's hidden desires. Such a pure energy that cannot be corrupted, only suppressed. Balancing and numbers are almost always influenced by their client's wants. Clients desire to be the best--be the best corporation, be the best partnership... Always wanting to be the best. And it is so laughable that students state that their wills shall not be corrupted. Hypocrites. The purity of their words is tainted by the stain of reality. But in art, all is done with the intent of one's satisfaction. Call us selfish bastards but aren't we all? But such is the lesser evil. I never wanted to deal with numbers. In fact, it was the one thing I had wished to love the most in college. We get to choose what subjects we take. I had thought that after ten years of dealing with useless numbers, I could finally be able to free myself from the rusted chains that bind. But I guess even that is too much to ask for. Perhaps the fact that I passed the Accountancy program during my first year really was nothing more than a curse. Perhaps I even already knew that it was indeed a curse. But no, I chose to acknowledge it as a blessing. Now I'm getting buried in a field of numbers. I really cannot see myself doing anything like this in the future. People say I'm free but I can't feel this sensation. Perhaps I am too reliant on guidance and that is why I can never decide anything by myself. I have lived a sheltered life and try as I may, I think I know that deep inside, I can never really be free. I shall always doubt my own decisions no mater what. I shall always wander back to the protective shadow of guidance no matter how much I wish to stand on my own two feet. I can never move on. Not now. Not ever. For this is who I am. This is how I have been founded. This is my reality. Welcome to my life.

Words written during rising emotions are always so odd. Now that I've read through it again after anger had passed, I find it quite amusing. Oh well. I guess I'll still post it for the record.

Until next entry.

There we go. I'm finished making our official Humanities stage plays sound track. I opted to use nature sounds for the second play. I would like to emphasize the drama and I don't want the music to overpower the emotions. That's why I settled for simple thunder and rain noise. I only picked one music, which also has rain in the BG, for the ending part.

If time would permit it, I would let my professor listen to the CD. Well, that's that. I have to get ready for school now.

Until next entry.

Good thing I wasn't chosen as one of the stage players for our plays in Humanities. I'm fairly certain that I would forget my lines when performance night comes. Although, I was given the position of assistant director. I volunteered myself to provide for our plays' BGM and I just finished with the first one. I already read the other script and I believe that I would have a much harder time picking music for it since the emotions set within it were quite cloudy in transformation and only mostly revolves around anger. That would prove to be a problem but I'm fairly certain that I would be able to accomplish the task sooner or later.

Anyway, I'm virtually dying of boredom while waiting for Xenosaga III to be released here where I live. I finished playing Tales of Legendia a while back and am currently playing it again. This sucks... I am so very tempted to actually read the various spoilers but I must persevere. >_<

Until next entry.

I. Need. Xenosaga III. Now.

"...That was a grave mistake, Cherenkov. I believe I already warned you about the dangers of the Zohar. You should have been more careful while retrieving it." A menacing voice intoned amidst the flickering darkness of the Woglinde's Communication Room.

Here's a more thorough version. It's fun to see how high a frequency one could hear. It must be quite sad, though, if the same individual takes the test again after, let's say, a decade and realize that he can't hear as well. Aww...

Until next entry.

The thing that happened a moment ago, was it an illusion? No, it can't be, can it? It felt so real but how could that possibly be? There has to be a logical explanation for all this, right? Perhaps she was merely thinking too hard about it. Then again, was she really? It wasn't as if such a thing normally just happened to everyone, right? Right? So if that were the case then she had the liberty to be perplexed, correct? But why was it that she felt that she was not supposed to be confused by it, that what she experienced was simply natural for her, and that there was a meaning behind it that only she could hope to grasp?

Upon the length of his career in Vector Industries First R&D Division, Assistant Chief Engineer Allen Ridgely had never encountered close calls regarding Encephalon dive activities. Such accidents were highly uncommon and were only mainly caused by either mechanical malfunction, which was very rare, or human error, which could be quite easily avoided. Although, once he was assigned under the command of Shion Uzuki, he began to notice that the latter ground's probability sharply soared up. Today's fiasco proved just that.

4000 years later

Somewhere in the vastness of space, the Woglinde soared on her maiden voyage. Despite her mere twenty percent completion, the 100-meter ship already boasted a unique bi-level design that enabled her to split into an upper and lower section. She was developed by the renowned company, Vector Industries, as the first battleship to specifically combat the enigmatic specters known as the Gnosis. The test prototype battleship was deployed in order to provide assistance in the Federation Marine Corp.'s investigation. Another reason also came along with the Woglinde's dispatch and that was to test out the company's newest weapon prototype.

20xx A.D.
Lake Turkana
Kenya

Beneath the glaring heat of the sun, they dug. Indeed, exhaustion came closer and closer with each moment that passed by but the feeling went unnoticed. And why should it not? Most, if not all, belonged in one of the predominant tribes in the vicinity. They were both used to hard work and often volunteered to aid archeologists in their excavations. All were scattered amongst the arid land, each belonging in their own group in charge of a particular area. All were intent on making this current excavation a success, and so they dug.

Been watching DN Angel and Sorcerer Stabber Orphen during the last couple of days. I must say that the latter is quite the underrated anime. Oh well. I have yet to finish watching it yet so I have no idea if what I just stated is correct. I'll simply continue on watching.

Speaking of anime, I enjoy DN Angel's opening music, True Light. Thanks to Joanna, I was able to find a site that has an impressive collection of anime music mp3s. The music I was searching for was, of course, amongst the list. Happy day.

Vacation's almost over. I really don't want to go back to school yet. Stupid required summer class crap. Then again, I've been drowning in boredom so I guess it wouldn't be so bad. But still...

Oh! And speaking of 'but still...', I am really, really looking forward to Xenosaga Episode 3. I hope it comes out soon. The availability of spoilers is driving me crazy. I've been itching to click on them for who-knows-how-long now. I just hope that almost all and everything would be explained and that not much would be ruined due to the six-games-compressed-into-three thing.

Until next entry.

We just watched the Da Vinci Code and I must say that I sure am glad they stayed true to the book. It was so much fun to actually see the words I have read come to life. I advise people not to allow the any reviews deter them from watching the movie. I say that people have to watch the movie for themselves and then give their own rating. I believe that the movie was beautifully presented. Hmm... C+ indeed [note the sarcasm].

Until next entry.
