This will now be the one you'll always be seeing first before my actual post.
The start of the Yuletide holidays has come, well, for us Filipinos anyway. As tradition, we agents of DUH are to start listing down our 08 wishlist [Hey, even dream assassins have a right to be childish sometimes. XD]
Therefore, here's mine. It's bound to be updated anytime, though. So drop by once in a while.
I'm talking, of course, to my Santa Claus this year. I wonder who'll it be?
===============================
>> A laptop that is compatible with my Computer Science student lifestyle. It should be a combination of any of the following qualities:
---lightweight [not a priority]
---reasonably priced [top priority]
---sufficient memory to store MS Word, Powerpoint, Frontpage and Excel, Notepad++, Codeblocks, a decent antivirus freeware, Paint [I'd be too ambitious to include Adobe Photoshop CS2 or CS3], Mozilla Firefox, and Windows Media Player
---durable [the perfect durability test is checking its functionality after being dropped]
>> A turtle plushie, preferably one whose shell is larger than my head
>> A lolita-esque vest
>> An mp3 player that can store at least 800+ songs
>> A decent, handy-dandy, heavy-duty, large memory digicam
>> A whole week devoted to literary and creative indulgement
================================
There...initial wish list done. To avoid confusion, I'll just add postscripts in this part whenever I edited my WS.
9/14/08 >> Argh...I forgot Frontpage in my wishlist...
9/18/08 >> Being so wrapped up with my plans for my laptop, I totally forgot one of my short-term goals: a digicam.
9/20/08 >> I'm totally deprived of my luxuries. I'm beginning to experience withdrawal symptoms.

Yep, one more exam to go and it's the Finals Week at last. [....I was going to use the word 'finally' but it sounds redundant.]
Whoopdedoo, guess what? I still have at least five major backlogs to finish. X_X
Honestly, time is not only a luxury nowadays, it's a gift from up above. Literally. Anyone who claims to have all the time will be smacked in the head and bitten at the neck by yours truly. No kidding. I have sharp canines. My dentist told me so.
Hmm, as a stress-reliever, I'll do a meme this time. I noticed how most of my readers complained about my mind dumps. Pfft, I did warn you, you know.
This is a new type of meme I'll be doing [new to this blog anyway]. So, as a bonus, I'll do several versions of it. :D
What can I say, my mind's weird that way.
It acquired a new addiction: blogging.
Come to think of it, it's not blogging that I'm addicted to. It's ranting (or writing, scribbling, light writing, drabbling, rambling, and whatever term you think suits this). And it's not a new acquisition in the first place. It just got more pronounced recently because blogging is a relatively easy activity for me. Mainly because the computer's constantly connected to the internet.
It's a stress reliever I tell you.
Whoopdedoo. I just stumbled upon a revelation. *This* blog contains the most posts among all the blogs I made to date. Not to mention the last one standing. I deleted all the accounts I knew of during the summer, though I'm pretty sure my Blogdrive blog's still alive, just stagnant. I planned on deleting it as well, I just couldn't remember my username, password, registered email, and even the site address itself.
Let it drown, I won't mind. It's not actually a blog anyway. It's a compilation of all the texts we studied in Filipino III and IV during highschool. :D
Another random thought: I found myself rather hesitant on leaving Vox. But the designer in me is desperate. It wants a blog-hosting site that allows complete customization.
Seriously, I only found out about your birthday yesterday so I didn't have enough time to prepare a decent banner or at least a caricature plus there's this freakin' depex and our report in histo5 is still nil and and and and...
Yes, I'm ranting. Actually, all I want to say is "Sorry for this lame and sucky birthday suprise."
*sob*
Anyhoo, to make this more presentable, I'll just add a few *sentimentality notes.
Patster is my blockmate.
Patster is one of my brainstorming buddies in programming.
Patster is one of the few who managed to stabilize my state of mentality for this semester.
Patster is a year older today.
Patster is about to be given a virtual cookie as a token of appreciation from yours truly.
Amen.
Ampeberdei Patster!!!
=============
*I suggest you read "This is a requirement?" to understand what "sentimentality" means here.
It's similar to saying "Gee, I still have a lot of backlogs to do, but I'm not in the mood yet so I think I'll blog first."
Ahem...
An advice:
Don't take naps that will last for less than 30 minutes. You'll get minor headaches for that, and your vision [especially when they're not normal to begin with] will be blurry for fifteen minutes or so. In effect, you'll only waste time.
A decision:
I'll be leaving Vox soon. Nope, I won't quit blogging. I'll just move back to Blogger.com. And it's included in my short-term goals. I have finally gotten the hang of CSS [yay me!] and relearned Dreamweaver [it's been two years since I last used it]. As soon as I finish my website project for CS10, I'll immediately start my drafts for my blogspot layout. Hmmm, the release might be during the sembreak, though. I still have to prioritize my finals. X_X
An anxiety:
I'm having very, very odd dreams lately. My intuition, however, keeps on preventing me from trying to know what they might mean. Something about it's better not knowing at all.
Another anxiety:
I'm drained. Emotionally and mentally. I think it's only a matter of time before I'll be drained physically, as well.
