A 5th?

I have no idea how to protect posts here, so I made a new blog just for the sake of making password protected posts... Just something to make me feel better when I want to rant about private matters. hahaha. This is my 5th blog. I hope I can update all of them. hmm... Reading my old entries, I realized that I really get lazy checking my English. From now on, I'll try to be more strict when it comes to proper spelling and grammar. I hope...

Thank God It's Friday, AKSIS+Death Note

*this post was only added August 17, 2008 due to problems that stopped me from posting it August 15, 2008*

Friday! Finally I can rest after a REALLY stressful week! Aside from the Ramayana, which really cost me a lot of precious sleeping time, Lab Tech, Physics, Bio and Math were hell. Physics, we had a Lab Report due yesterday (August 14, 2008) and we barely made it on time! Wednesday evening, probably since we're tired, I was the only one online in my group since Dan went Offline early. I slept past 12 trying to finish that and my Math homework Lab Tech, we were supposed to peel a large beaker's worth of small SOYBEANS! Courtney and I were peeling beans from 11:00 to 12:30 last Tuesday, at least we got to have chat with Sir Espinas. XD I'm still hating soybeans up to this day... Math, two math periods in one day can REALLY take a toll on you. The Math Long Test was very stressful, since I didn't realize many things until only 5 minutes were left. I hope I passed.... Bio didn't make me feel any better since nothing went into my head. Imagine listening to the teacher when your table mate is worrying about the epic fail math and the room temperature makes you wanna doze off... STR was STRessful and the Quiz caught us off guard. PE wasn't that good either. Plus we got our grades in Math, English and Chem that day! This is the first time I've gotten a 2 in any subject... I'm okay with it, but I'm afraid of what my mom will say. Actually, I think she's going to war against Sir Nat...I want to rest so badly, at least I have the following things to keep me sane and healthy: Death Note, the AKSIS party, chocolates, and my precious little blue notebook.

I was late for the AKSIS Acque because of the Chem Bonus we had to finish. I got stuck on number 7 until mum showed me a very simple solution that really made me think I was stupid. 9 was also confusing. It was already 5:00 by the time we got there and Jay, Gigi and I had to go back to the caf to get the cooler I brought (Joaq stayed behind). Jay had to convince Gigi to stay since she insisted on leaving immediately. Joaq didn't bring a cooler so Franco had to stuff the ice cream into the one I brought. Tsk tsk Joaq, Tsk tsk... When we sat down, I could barely hear what the other people were saying (that was already with a mic) over the fan, the rain outside and Jay's noise. We were supposed to say a special talent that we had when we introduced ourselves. Jay was being weird as usual, Gigi didn't know what to say and Joaq wanted to punch Sir Martin (jokingly of course). Dan and Jess weren't in the party, I guess they didn't know. Jay: "I can annoy Gigi, diba Gigi? Diba? Diba?" Gigi:"My special talent is to not get annoyed by Jay". Joaq:"My special talent is that I can punch Sir Martin without feeling bad." XD. I take pride in my special ability to open doors with my barefoot! I can turn doorknobs with it while standing on the other and carrying stuff with my two hands, really helpful. My mom texted me and told me to go home already but after begging a few times, she allowed me to stay until I had enough to eat. We had a LOT of food there, mainly pizza from Greenwich, Pizza Hut, Yellow Cab and Shakeys . I don't allow myself to eat donuts, bacon, spam, hotdog, and ham, which was sad since most of the food there had those. Plus, Jay dancing is NOT a pretty sight to see while eating... I ate 3 slices of cheese pizza, some pasta, barbecue and drank juice. My 5 month record of not eating preservative filled food and donuts was broken last night along with my 2 month record of not drinking soda when Gigi talked me into eating 1/1oth of a donut and drink Coke. Joaq was being weird when we did the pledge of Gigi not to eat Donuts anymore. How the heck do you lose your identity, Joaq? Then the Bacon pizza followed right after that. Nooooo!! I have to restart the counter again. I got home around 8:00 or so and decided to read more chapters of Death Note. I'm still grieving over the death of my favorite character L, but the AKSIS acque and more Death Note managed to cheer me up.

I never really liked Death Note when it first came out. I don't know why but I was more interested in Naruto and Bleach back then but now, well I like Death Note the best. I started reading it Tuesday evening and I guess I'll finish by tomorrow (August 16, 2008) if I keep this up. What I find interesting is the reason behind Raito's murdering streak. Is it so bad to want to cleanse the world of evil by becoming evil? I remember writing a similar thought as Raito's back when I made my Soc Sci portfolio (and even before I started reading Death Note). It seems that at first, I believed that Raito was correct and righteous, until he started to kill just to protect his identity. I didn't like L at first, since he was too cautious and would use his pawns against Raito, never revealing himself. Later on when he comes out from behind the laptop and into the open, he becomes my idol for some reason. L is a shred, cunning, intelligent and realistic thinker with a lot of strange mannerisms, such as sitting in a fetal position and using only his thumb and forefinger to hold objects. Compared to Raito who is a model son and student, intelligent, handsome and disciplined, L looks like a downright slob. Later on, Raito would only emerge victorious because L was behind hampered by his friendship with Raito and the people around him. Possibly his best characteristic is that L does not let his emotions control him and his calm and compose attitude. Compared to him, I'm a mess, maybe that is why he is my idol. I would rather have a detective like him become real than a self-righteous murderer styling himself "God". Ah well, more Death Note! :D *reads*
