Why, Hello Ceiling Cat

O Hai Guise.

It’s almost 4:00 in the morning and I’m wide awake. I’m here inside the office, collecting links, plurking, blogging, formspring-ing, facebook-ing, etc. Lol.

I just found out KL-chan has a formspring.me account! XD I’m excited to ask! I’m amazed she uses Photoshop 7 in CG-ing her works. Master! *bows*

I’m posting my old doodle here. Because I was bored and all.

Done in MS Paint.

Gotta go now.

Bye~ ?

Happy New Year everyone! This is my first post for this year!

I have downloaded the game Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines on PSP. I saw the trailer on youtube and I thought I might give it a try. I haven’t played any games lately. Maybe because I was kind of busy with my work. Plus, I have been busy with a few stuff lately.
They said I will be disappointed with this game they prefer the PC version better. I’m not sure if they are referring to the graphics or the game play or the storyline itself.

Assassin’s Creed Bloodline

Oh well. I might get on this as soon as I finish the pending works. Gotta stop procrastinating.

It’s been a while since my last post!

I’ve been busy on some stuff lately.

Quite a long hiatus.

I’ll catch up later.

If you guys have plurk please follow me

Catch you guys later. Bye!

Hello friends! I have been asked by Lei, one of my co-teachers at Greenbox before, if I can post a fund raising ad for her friend’s mother who’s suffering from Stage 4 Breast Cancer. This is what I am doing now. More than a year ago, I’ve posted a blog entry for Clarisse, a former UP student who’s struggling from blood cancer. We asked for funds, and by the grace of the blogging community, we have accumulated some funds that assisted the needs of Clarisse. So here in Twistedrumbeats[dot]com, we’re about to do it in the second time around, hoping that funds will be sourced-out too. Well bloggers, THIS IS THE LEAST WE CAN DO.

There it is.. Please use the details above if you want to donate. You may offer prayers, a visit, or anything at all for this family…or you may repost this fund raising entry to your blog. Thank you very much. God bless us all.

You may also send your donations through my paypal account..Just note there that it’s for Aling Remy. Thanks.

Read this. :3

Found the article on Yahoo! News.

Is Gaming Good for the Mind?

Obviously they are advertising a brand.

I like this part

“Scientific American targets “plasticity,” or the brain’s ability to dynamically change in response to experiences”.

Some screen shots from Luna Online. I have tried playing it once or twice. Wasn’t able to continue because my PC went dead for a few weeks. Now that my PC is back, I’m planning to install it here.

Like most role playing games, you pick a character and name it. You also have to choose a side whether you want to become one of the humans or the elves.

See how cute the emoticons are. 8D Check out the NPCs they are all very cuuuuute! *3* chu~

You can also collect a lot of cute costumes for your characters.

OMG I’ll die laughing. ROFL

Spending your day in the operating room is soooooooooooooooooo exhausting! I spend my 8 hours for 5 days standing. Sometimes I don’t even have the luxury to go the washroom or eat my lunch. When consultants scrub in  they can be very edgy at times. They throw clamps, retractors, or anything they’re holding at you if you mess up. You do your very best as a scrub (or as a circulating) nurse to avoid that. Be sure to make everything ready and in place. And make sure that your allises bite, or else they will! D:

But somehow it feels good to know that you can do things on your own now (compared when you’re still a student and you feel stupid) and people trust you of what you do. And I enjoy the  autonomy I have. This is a sort of an inner confirmation that I chose the right field.

Finished Reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. It was a short book by Mark Haddon. The story is light. It has a  unique way of showing the readers how the protagonist sees the world.

SPOILER

Christopher Boone is a 15 year old boy with Asperger’s Syndrome. According to Wiki Asperger’s Syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and people with it therefore show significant difficulties in social interaction, along with stereotypies and other restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other ASDs by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical use of language are frequently reported.

He lives with his Dad and with his pet mouse Toby. The story starts with Christopher discovering Mrs. Shear’s dog, Wellington died or was killed. He decided to do some detective works to capture Wellington’s murderer. As the story goes he discovers a lot of things about who the murderer was, about their neighbor, about his family.

I know this is a shameless self-promotion but what the heck this is my blog so I’ll post this anyway (haha defensive). An old digital art of mine done last 2006. It’s very untidy and apparently a mediocre work. Layers are all messed up. The lineart is undefined. But I consider this as one of my favorite because it conveys the emotions I have while making this. I don’t know but compared to my other works especially the ones who gained a lot of faves (in Deviantart) were more on showing the skills and not the emotions.

I’m planning to remake this one. But I’m not so sure about that. I’m too lazy to draw. I have all the tools I need but the motivation is not there. I want to have an inspiration! And I need it in times like this when I can not do anything but procrastinate.

Okay I’m dyspneic. Thanks to Dan for sending me this flash game. Now I don’t want to go home.  I first heard my 7 year old brother (now 8)  mention Hotel626 a year or two before. I remembered him inviting me to play it. But I refused to play because I thought it was another lame crappy trying-hard-to-scare-everyone-game. I’m a fan of horror games and movies though I easily wet my pants. Why I still watch/play them, that I do not know. Dan keeps on sending me the link so I thought I might as well give it a try. So I did.

You should try it yourself though. Turn on the volume to the loudest and turn off the lights in your room.Please enjoy your stay at Hotel 626. ^^

Me = Official Purefoods ng DOTA. Why? D:

I finished playing Manhunt 2 before and I feel like playing it again. There were two ending episodes Personality Clash and Release Therapy. The former was the “good ending” I suppose. Considering Danny is alive although he had another personality when he woke up (but at least he wasn’t the morbid Leo anymore).The latter was the “bad ending” because Leo gained control over Danny’s mind. Over all the game was okay. Kinda enjoyed the resourcefulness and creativity (if that’s what you call that) of using different kinds of murder weapons. All the gruesome ways of stealthily creeping towards your enemies’ back and stabbing their eyes with a nearby object (e.g. ballpen, crowbar). The only thing that I dislike is the configuration and the camera angle. Gives me headache after many hours riveting my eyes on the PSP. Oh and you can also play this in PS2.

Mafia Wars in Facebook is almost similar to the game The Godfather in PSP. At one point I was addicted to it until I finished the game. The story is related to the book/movie The Godfather. At the start of the game you have to choose what skills you want your character to have. Also there are scenes in the movie that you can unlock once you progress in the game. The mob wars is what makes it addicting. You use cards with different functions and you try to invade their territory or rob and torture owners of several establishments and they pay you. When they turn down your proposal you have to torture or bully them (i forgot the term they use) to make them say yes. The gameplay works like GTA. I finished the game having all the territories in NY and became the Godfather. Ohohohoh. But in Mafia Wars I’m still a noob lolz.

Today was the toxic-est shift of my entire carreer! My leg feels the weight of my body. And it feels like I want to sleep for two days.

Two patients died within an hour! Waaaaaaaaaah.

Yey. I know it’s late but I have facebook nao lolz.

Playing Monster Hunter Freedom 2 at the moment. It isn’t as nifty as other PS games graphics-wise. But the gameplay omgwtfbbq keeps me pressing those buttons til morning. I just saw the trailer of Monster Hunter Freedom 3. There’s a new feature where you can fight underwater. COOOOOOL XD I better go back to my game kk. I just went online to look for the ingredients needed to make monster fluid (very expensive to purchase from the NPC). Imma make Melahona.. err Melahoa set.

EDIT: I think MHF3 is for Wii only.

This be the Melanoa.. Melahona whatever armor set. Image stolen here

Photoshop and tablet.

Unfinished drawing. One of my OCs (original character). Don’t mind the hands. u___u

Paul’s little request. He said he looks like a girl here. True enough XD

And some random mascot I haven’t given much thought about. :/

Eating: Binignit

Drinking: Water

Trying to make new characters for my pseudo-manga which doesn’t have a plot.

Can’t draw anything decent recently. And oh, my tablet is okay now I had Dan fix it for me yey! I heard CD-R King is selling graphic tablets for only Php2000. 12 inches in size. I saw the strokes of the pen and it looks smooth. Very reasonable price. But I’m happy with mine for now XD My trusty tablet you serve me well.

Drawing I scanned a while ago. I suck the most at trad art.

Aagh Demi’s art memes are soooooo cute *3*

Nabokov was possibly inpired by the real life Humbert Humbert and Dolores’ Haze.

Frank La Salle and Florence Sally Horner. I just read their story and it is very similar to Lolita. I picture Humbert as atall, handsome, European man much appealing than the real life protype (who really looks like a lecherous child molester). In the last part of the book, I feel sorry for poor Humbert. He really loved her so.

For some reason the image of Sally Horner i posted above somewhat scares me. Brrrr. What am I thinking.

Mood: Sleepy

Eating: Some tasteless crackers (rebisco)

Drinking: Gatorade (lemon lime)

Watching: Naruto Shippuuden still  ep. 90 something

The task that was delegated to me on my first official day as a trainee in the most crowded hospital in Davao City was to medicate. I prepared about more than twenty medicines of all sorts: oral meds, suppositories, IVTT most were familiar to me thank God). In the middle of my  preparation my senior left me all alone.

I medicated all the patients in the ward all alone on my first day. Sweet.

I was supposed to insert some doodle in this entry. But to my suprise I found my beloved tablet’s pen inside its box where I carefully kept,  with the batteries exposed and stucked as if forcefully opened. I am so furious right now and I’m going to find that brute who did this.

Later.

I’m so drained.

Reading  Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. I think this is an abbridged version. Anyway I don’t care lol. Humbert Humbert sounds like the hikkikomori protagonist of Welcome to NHK. Maybe Nabokov himself is a Lolicon.

SPOILER WARNING!

I finished reading (techinically listening) The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks - without the middle initial. It’s a first person’s view narrated by a 17-year-old boy named Frank who has his own rituals and beliefs about life and death. His mother left them after giving birth; his father who seems obsessed with measurements; and his older brother Eric who escaped from a mental hospital who constantly phones Frank telling him that he will come back home soon.

When Frank was just 5 or 6 (errr.. not sure) he had his what he call “little accident”. Old Saul their dog was enraged and devoured little Frank’s genitals. According to his father he found Frank’s genitalia inside Old Saul.  Despite of this he feels that he is a complete man strong and willed. He despises women and sees them as weak and stupid. The protagonist later reveals his three murders: his half-brother Paul, his cousin Esmeralda, and his other cousin whose name I have forgotten. Before he decides the death he first consults and interrogates the Wasp Factory on how each would die.

The major revelation in the story happened when Frank’s father got drunk. He found the keys from his father’s tweed jacket so Frank got curious and went to his father’s study room. There he was shocked to see the transparent jar filled with clear liquid and in the liquid he saw tiny male genitals. As he surveyed more the room he found a box. Inside the box he discovered several tampons and male hormonal meds that his father pumped him. His father justified that it was just his “little experiment”. All along Frank/Francis was in fact Frances - a girl.

SPOILER ENDS HERE

I like  stories like these with twisted revelations XD

HAPPY BDAY TWISTEDRUMBEATS!!
Woohoo! *Dances around*

Crap! I’ve ruined my sidebar. I should have not played with the codes. TT3TT

I bought three sets of stickers from Victoria Plaza this afternoon. I pimped my cellphone, my PSP, and Dan’s on impulse. XD  I think I overdid it. Boo-hoo. Because of teh cuteness I have to stick them all (or else I’ll eat them XD). Lesson learned: KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid.

My phone with Anizou Nyuushu saying ‘O Hai!’ to everyone.

This be my PSP.

Dan’s PSP. I like the apple in the center! So cute *3*

See? I overdid mine! Nyuhuuu. O:)

Wooden toy-slash-puzzle carbine gun bought at Victoria.

That’s all. I should be getting ready for my orientation at DMC for tomorrow.

Bai!

Mood: Alive

Reading: Wasp Factory - Iain Banks (I’m listening to it technically)

Eating: Wasp. Kidding! Mega Sardines o__o’

I always find a time to read some of the featured news in Yahoo! - until I read a couple of biased articles  comparing Nintendo over Sony. The articles were very subjective IMHO.

I was on my first year of high school when I was introduced to the world of RPG (role-playing game), though I already started gaming  as early as seven as far as I could remember. I played NES games that time and pawnage was still excusable. The first RPG I ever played was Final Fantasy VIII. Because of Squall Lionheart’s undeniably impeccable charm, I was then hooked.  I finished Wild Arms II first, followed by FF IX. I also played other genres in between. Aside from the sleek graphics and lovable characters I also enjoyed naming the characters. The heroine being baptized with no other than my own name, the hero with my crushes’ names XD, and some other party members with my friends’ names. That way the game would seem personalized.

RP Games don’t always bring us lack-of-sleep-induced-pimples and eyebags , bad influence because of violent fight scenes (which I don’t find true), and failing grades (partly true) like most of the adults incessantly inculcate in our carefree minds.

The value of comradeship:  healing every wounded party member and reviving anyone who has fallen unconscious. The value of frugality: saving every bottle of Elixirs and Ethers  for the last boss, to the point of  restarting your console everytime you accidentaly use one. And many other values that I failed to enumerate because I’m starving. o__o;;
