ayah enna
A fresh grad who finds herself waking up after lunch (GMT+8, mind you). She is into videogames, anime & manga , certain book genres, a bit of music, and dogs. An introvert, she is generally slow in warming up unless she sees that a person has at least a common interest. She knows too little of HTML so she had to download this pre-made layout.

After three meetings wherein I had no classes in the last subject of my TTh schedule (actually, I didn't attend the first, then there were no meetings during the second and third), my last class has dissolved. What will become of me? Well, I adjusted to another class. Goodbye lunch break; starting this Thursday, I'll be having classes from 9:40 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. STRAIGHT. I will definitely need to eat heavy breakfast.I'm pissed at my brother since the weekend. In less than a year, our computer needs to be reformatted again. How many times would our PC need to crash because he attempted to install a graphics driver before he stops doing it once and for all? If he thinks he's a computer expert, he's wrong. He may know more about software than I do but he's only in second year high school! He's not qualified to tinker our PC that far. Now everytime we turn on the computer, the screen is blank. I don't think our mom would have it fixed immediately. Guess I'll have to extend my stay here in school just to type then go to an internet cafe to print.
Time flies so fast that I need to pass the requirements being asked for the yearbook on our before Saturday: Info Sheet, payment (50% would do), write-up, three 3R or 4R pictures in landscape format (kaartehan lang), etc. I haven't paid yet because the schedule for payment corresponding to our college are Thursdays-Saturdays. I don't have the 3 pictures yet; I'd probably pass 2 that were taken by a cellphone (that is not mine because my cellphone doesn't have a camera) or digital camera, which would have to be printed, and 1 old picture, probably a baby pic. I also don't have a write-up and if I still don't have it by Friday, I'll be using one of my testimonials.
It's org recruitment over here and I'm thinking of joining an organization. When I was wandering around campus, I saw a banner basucally saying that it's org recruitment. What caught my eye is one of the sponsors: it's being sponsored by Tantra, a MMORPG that I recently stopped playing. I actually received an announcement of their campus tour in my e-mail last week but I was still surprised seeing their booth in school. I even saw one of the GMs. I know that's one of them because I was present when he introduced himself as so during the Games and Gadgets Convention in Megamall last January. The reasons why I stopped playing this game are
1. No load.
2. Its top-up cards are not as widely distributed as RO's, MU's or Khan's as far as I've seen.
3. My brother recently uninstalled the game; what more now that our PC needs reformatting? As much as possible, I'd rather play at home than in an internet cafe.
4. The lag is terrible, even if we use DSL. Ok, so we tried playing it on PLDT myDSL and Tantra is being powered by Bayantel. Do you think there's a conspiracy going on?
5. The bugs. I know that the other MMORPGs available in the local market are older, but how many months should it take before a bug can be fixed?
If I didn't have these problems on Tantra, I might play it again during weekends. I see it as a good game with poor management. Right now, ABS-CBN Interactive, Tantra's local distributor, is concentrating at getting new players. However, they are neglecting their old ones. I started playing that game last November, during closed beta. I know I just said that I'd rather play at home, yet I experienced playing Tantra in 2 different net cafes and I was the only one playing it. All the other gamers in these shops were playing DOTA. I played until I had summer classes. Now that it's pay-to-play (P2P), I don't see why I should spend my money if I don't see any improvement. Sayang talaga.
