PS2 GAMES
I am so lame. My PS2 games sort of suck already. I mean, I am really outdated. Oh well. I really do hope I get a PS3. LOL. I need new PSP games. My brother won't be here yet until the 11th. I still need to bear with the old ones.
Right now, I am playing Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus for the PS2, while I am playing Aedies Eclipse: Generation of Chaos for the PSP. 
SBP
I received an email from the Summer Bridge Program's coordinator, Mr. Florence, telling me about the change in schedule. Instead of May 5, it has been moved to May 19. Oh, great. How sad. How terribly sad.
Oh, why? Why? Why? Why?
YESTERDAY
Yesterday was quite fun. I went to Tumaga again, and requested for a letter of good moral character. It turned out to be wrong. Shoot. I called U.P. and asked about it. The man in the phone told me that it needs to be signed by the principal or the guidance counselor. Great. How great. It seems that I need to go back, and request for another one... Sigh.
For the rest of the day, I roamed around the city with Nick. :3 LOL.
I went to my godmother's office this morning to pay for my mom's travel insurance. Wow. I never knew that I could really go out alone these days.
I am happy roaming alone in the city. This is perhaps a product of my separation blues, ironically speaking. I am about to leave my hometown... but just days before my departure, I am learning to explore the inner parts of the city.
So, it came to me as weird. By weird, I mean, everything just came too late, very late. An example of which is what happened last month: I realized that I really love my classmates, but for the three goddamn years, I despised them. It was only how many days just after classes officially ended that I thought, "hey, it was not that bad after all".
But I remember, Essa, our class president, telling me that at least I opened up and learned to love them even though it was late --at least I did open up.
It's been two days straight since I ate at Jollibee alone. Hmm. I wonder... would I be really that alone in Cebu?
GROCERY SHOPPING
I went grocery shopping late this afternoon. I was supposed to do it in the morning, but I woke up at almost two in the afternoon. I slept a bit late last night (yep, just a bit --I slept at 5 A.M.).
I went to Mindpro alone... I did not bring anybody with me. I went to Mindpro to have my breakfast at Jollibee (breakfast at three. :3), then "toured", then went grocery shopping.
The whole idea of going to Mindpro and going grocery shopping are mine alone. I was not told by my grandmother to go and buy some stuff we'd be needing at home. I initiated it, but the money used is NOT mine, obviously.
I blew around php800 in just one roaming. I bought kitchen and bathroom necessities... squid balls (haha), chicken, pork... yeah, things for my stomach... low-fat milk, yoghurt, junk food... and you know the rest.
I couldn't believe that the plastic bag I carried weighed at least five kilos. WOOT. WOOT. Not to mention, I have my period. :3
MINI SHOPPING
Before going grocery shopping, I had my mini shopping. I wouldn't call it "shopping" unless I bought a lot of things and blew so much cash on it. Well, the products of my mini shopping are: a mini-skirt (from Crissa), a a plain top (from Penshoppe), dangling earrings and a necklace (from Almar).
Since I won't be sporting any uniform come June 9, 2008, it is best that I fill my wardrobe as much as I can... truth be told, I really need to lose weight so that I need not spend so much on new clothes.
------
And oh, I feel contented. I can now go to the grocery without being accompanied by an adult. I feel that I am taking another step towards independence.
I just found out yesterday from the Summer Bridge Program coordinator that the Summer Bridge Program has been moved to May 19, 2008 instead of May 5, 2008.
I have been counting the remaining days I have in this boring house, which was supposed to be eight more days, but have gone up to twenty days (!!!!). I'm leaving on the 16th, by the way.
Oh well. My father's 1st death anniversary is on the 15th... I don't know how I'd deal with some relatives. Hopefully, they won't come.
DIGITAL ART
Hmm... I think I will settle for an Intuos for now. However, I possibly can't use a drawing tablet without a decent computer, can I?
TRADITIONAL ART
I loved how my interviewer said that I can improve a lot in just a span of a year or so. He sounded (and I hope he really was) sincere, and that was enough to make my day. And so, here I am now, DRAWING A LOT (or should I say doodling a lot) using my art bestfriend, my mechanical pencil. Yey! I am improving. I need to improve, and that means working hard.
...
I feel like leaving Zamboanga --and I mean NOW. >:[
PAYING THE HOUSEHOLD BILLS
I slept at two in the morning and woke up at six in the morning so that I can prepare myself to pay most of the household bills. Yes, to pay the household bills. For some odd reason, I've been looking for the "right sign" to start feeling responsible. I know, I know, I can always start anytime I like or I should start the moment I think about it. However, I've never really felt that I needed to, but there came a time when I finally thought about it and gave it a shot.
The shot was done this morning. Even though I felt like I haven't slept in a thousand years, I knew for sure that I needed to get up as EARLY AS POSSIBLE. So, I did. Before going to town, I withdrew money first from my ATM. About thirty minutes later, I went to the telephone company branch and paid the bill. It sure took about fifteen minutes in just one sitting before I can pay. Talk about people who went earlier than I did. After that, i went to the Postal Bank and paid the electric bill. Same thing happened: I waited for about fifteen minutes. Then, after that, I paid the water bill.
WALKING AROUND
After paying all the bills, I met up with Ana in the only mall the city has. Haha. We ate breakfast together (at almost 12 noon), and walked around the humble city.
P.S.
I BOUGHT A SKIRTTTTT!
I plan to eat only yoghurt, oatmeal, and fish for the next one week and a half. I will only drink water and low-fat milk. I think I'm getting fatter and fatter as the days pass by, and I need to fit my pants before I go back to Cebu, or else...
FINAL FANTASY II
One of the most difficult Final Fantasies I ever played is Final Fantasy II. I've been playing this game since it was released on the PS1. Of course, I couldn't play it on its very first release. Hello, I did not even exist yet on year 1988. ) Hahahaha.
How many years ago, I abandoned (or should I say temporarily stopped) the idea of playing FF2 since I could not win even the ordinary encounter monster battles.
But now, since it has a re-release for the PSP for its 20th anniversary, I considered playing it again, right from the very beginning. Honestly, I am loving it. The graphics are better than that of the PS1, obviously. Also, it has additional features, and I appreciate them. At least I won't have to spend my time purely concentrating on the game. I also love the artwork and the illustrations! YOSHITAKA AMANO is indeed a great artist. It would be really great to meet him someday. How I wish.
PSP
I really want a color change for my PSP. How I wish I could turn it to violet, the candy shade for that matter.
MOVIES
I feel like watching two movies this week. I just feel like I'm OC because of the required number. My summer ends on May 4 because of a math summer program... oh well. I pray that I get a hold of even just a bit of Kristal's brain... :D
