series and movies keep me busy

It's been three weeks since I came here. I'm not reporting for work yet but I do have interviews once per week.

Wonder what I've been doing with my free time? I've been watching series and movies I've never cared to watch before. So, here goes my list:

Series:
(1) Hana Yori Dango - Girl Over Boys, that is. I love this series. This is a story of a commoner studying in a school for elite people. Masako Tsukushi, that's her name. I tell you, she is sooo TOUGH. Thus, guys pretending to be tough fell for her. I love to be like her.

(2) Gokusen 2 - This is a story of a classroom teacher who is very concern about her students. She is not the usual teacher. She is the granddaughter of a Yakusa master. She doesn't want to lead the next generation's Yakusa though. She wanted to live her own life and her grandfather approves of all her desires. She is loved by everyone around her. She is really really QUICK at fighting but she doesn't brag of it. She protects he students from dangers and temptations and tries so hard to guide them to the right path. I envied her for she never gave up on her students especially those who don't seem to have the heart and do not even care for their own selves. It touches me deeply how she puts her heart and soul into what she considered her vocation. Man, this makes me cry!

(3) Prison Break - I never thought I wanted this series. I've seen officemates during lunch time watching this. I didn't mind at all how nice this series is. It catched my attention and captured my heart. Why not? From the cast to the story.... everything is REALLY EXCELLENT. And oh, did I mention I love Wentworth Miller? How could I forget that? He's such a cute guy with tantalizing eyes. Back to the story... I feel extremely bothered at how some people allow people to use them to the extent of ruining their lives endlessly.

"If I had to do it all over again, I'd do it different." (Alex Malone)- This is so striking. Sad though, because, we don't always have a second chance. At some point in our lives, there's no path that leads us back to where we wanna start things all over again and we're so screwed up!

Movies:
(1) Cast Away

(2) Pride and Prejudice

(3) A Walk To Remember

(4) Message In a Bottle

(5) The Notebook

i hate it

i hate it when you smile.
i hate it when you frown.

i hate it when you crawl.
i hate it when you run.

i hate it when you stare.
i hate it when you close your eyes.

i hate it whe you talk.
i hate it when you're silent.

i hate it when you're dumb.
i hate it when you're wise.

i hate everything that you are.
i hate everything that you do.

i hate everything about you.
i hate it coz i love you.

damn... how i wish you know!

how coud you exist without knowing that i do?
how could you live without being mine?
how could you?

They say that love is shared by two, but why can't i share it with you?

Sunday Blooper

It's Sunday and we're to go to Church together with Romsil. 9:00 a.m., as agreed, we'll meet at Shin-Osaka eki because we don't know the place. 8:45, we texted Romsil that we're leaving the pad. However, Romsil wasn't ready yet so, he texted Raneil to pick us up instead.

9:02, we arrived at the station and then got Raneil's call. He'll be riding a train that will pass by Shin-Osaka station and then we'll go ride with that train he's in. The train will arrive at our station at 9:13 so off we went to the platform we thought the train will pass through. 9:13, we're there. Alas! The train arrived on time but exactly at the opposite platform where we stood.

Phone rings.

Raneil: Come on in. Where are you?

Me: Sorry, we're on the wrong platform. But we'll try hard to run and catch the train.

Raneil: Ok.

We ran to the elevator up and down as fast as we could, barely breathing. Yahooooo, we're just on time. Yatta! At just about a second the train closes and runs.

Phone rings.

Me: Hi Rans! We did it! Which car are you in?

Raneil: I went off. I thought you're not making it.

Funny. We're ahead now of the one who's supposed to pick us up.

it's like winning lotto

it will take about 2 months to get an internet connection. why? because the Alien Registration Card (ARC)is a requirement for that. ARC's are released after almost a month after application. Then we'll have to apply for a net connection and then we'll wait for about a month for it to be approved, thus, for us to finally get the connection.

we've got nothing much to do since arrival and we didn't want to go to places because it's already winter. it's damn too cold. so, we usually stay at our pad and watch downloaded tv series (courtesy of senpai ideru). when our friends arrive from work, usually 11 pm, we go to their pads (pad A: 20-minute walk back and forth, pad B: 30-minute walk back and forth.), bring our heavy laptops and suffer from the freezingly cold winter breeze just to send and check mails and chat with friends.

well, it's boring without the internet, especially on winter and you're not working for quiet a long time.

tried checking wireless connections inside our pad. there is one signal scanned but that signal has a password. and yeah, i wasn't able to guess it right. asa pa!

friday, time to check mails again. dear friend arrived from work already. so, carrying our heavy laptops, we went out of ourpad. what if i check the wireless net connection outside our pad? meaning, when the door is wide open. so, i turned on my laptop, opened the door and stood by the doorway. I had intel wireless device scan for signals. There.... there... one by one dear laptop is listing the wireless connections it detected, one with security password, the other without. So, i tried connecting to the one without a password. It's slowly scanning and acquiring Network name and IP address.

i launched ym and signed it in. Happy! We were shouting... It's like we won the lotto. We were jumping and then proceeded outside our pads and checked mails. I went up to the topmost floor to get a good signal and standing still, i continued replying to mails, until i ran out of batt while by whole body is shaking from the coldness and i felt i had to urinate.

damn... that was great! despite feeling really really cold, i was happy.

my hands were freezing and my knees were shaking really bad when i entered my room. i plugged the AC power, opened my window and placed my laptop on the opened window. scanned for signal again. it worked. i kneel on my futon and typed and typed again.

i sure looked so funny. but, i didn't care.

pakapin:

* thanks to pai's suggestion of checking signals outside our pad.

* "we" in this entry refers to me and my padmate

* it took us two weeks to realize that we need not travel to get connected
