The Ultimate Blog Log

Okay, I think I'm done restoring my blog. I can now confidently say that its restored and maybe exceeded its previous "glory" (if you can call it that).

Immediately to the right, is the gallery gadget. A cool little blogger gadget made by DevShare for Deviants that are also Bloggers. Good job, you guys.

Below the DevShare is the CBOX. The very same CBOX I used in this very same blog three years ago. Imagine that, I actually got to recover that info.

Yes, Gunpla images left and right. GAT-X105 Strike Gundam on the upper right, GN-005 Gundam Virtue to the left, and XXXG-01WK Wing Gundam Ver Ka. Here's a tissue, go wipe your noses.

This is the final major update for the recent revamping of this blog. And thus, The Ulitmate Blog Log. Thanks go out to you who actually read this, and for the people who did read this back then. Lastly, thanks to those guys who made those cool blog gadgets and for Blogger free skins. Gundam. I mean, Rock on.

Overflagging and Baguio

So I went to Baguio and stayed over the weekend. The trip up took seven hours (ouch) as the conventional routes have been blocked due to safety reasons. The recent Pepeng typhoon caused so much damage to the mountainous regions as Ondoy to NCR. Several roads had only one lane left and some still had two, but were just hanging slabs of concrete as the ground under it eroded.

Baguio city was business as usual. My stops were Pie's house, Cosmopolitan Hotel, SM, and a lot of shops in Session Road. Pie's house. I found out I'm allergic to labradors. What? You mean dogs? Nope. Labradors specifically. Dunno why. I've never been allergic to dogs. Nor have I been up close to a labrador. Those two things changed when I met Moonlit, Pie's labrador who just had eight adorable puppies last week.

It was a long, eventful day, that Saturday. Puppies, food, online games, comics and Magic Cards. It was like Saturday night Magic. We ended up playing until 2am in two-headed giant mode. After that, people got home and I checked back into the hotel. The accomodation came with 2 free breakfasts. Nice. So the following morning was nice XD

I checked out of the hotel at 12 noon, and cooked chicken fillets breaded in pancake batter powder for lunch. Later that Sunday, we went to church. Man, it's been so long since I went to church. Afterwards came the actual 'gala'. We had coffee in three different shops, several cakes, and of course, house specials. Also, I had lots of soup since I've been sniffling badly because of Moonlit.


So, SM Baguio... they have all the gunpla that's sold out here in Manila... Damn.

Anyway, this was a rather short post but took me 2 hours to type. Why? I'm Overflagging. Rather, I'm working on the Overflag.

Going to Baguio.

After much delay, I will now finally get to Baguio. Yay!
I'm hoping my ass off that my best friend gets to send me cash so i could stay overnight. Otherwise, it'll be a long day trip.

ArXy

ArXy is a blog by me, Arckham and my colleague and girlfriend Xylith. We've been planning this blog since summer and have pushed it back due to other priorities and much, much procrastination. But without further adieu, http://arxy.blogspot.com.

Here, we will be reviewing, previewing and just plainly posting about everything geek. Music, events, games, toys, other blogs, the internets, gadgets, and so much more. All the really important things in life. XD

Anyway, the blog is up and we're starting to fill it up. Wish us luck!

Comments and suggestions welcome. ^__^

Updates, updates, updates. So what's happened since 2006? Let's see..

On the internet.
November 2006. I was a sophomore and was madly addicted to RF online. RF continued til early this year with many other games in between. Grand Chase, Rohan, Ragnarok, Private RF's, Private RO's, Cabal, Exteel and Trickster to name a few. Friendster, Multiply, A-town, Facebook. Deviantart. I learned 1337speak and internets speak. Haxxing. Torrented a million gigabytes of games, music and videos.

My life.
Girls. Lots of em passed by. But I now have a girlfriend of a year and half by tonight at midnight. My friend and comrade in RF online, lead guitar of my next band to be, my protector from myself, partner in a new blog ArXy, and dearest love of my life. My Pie.

I finished college September of '08 and graduated summer of this year with a best thesis award. That was literally the first and only academic award I have ever received in my entire life.

In between finishing and graduating, I worked for Harte-Hanks under Telus International. That was the XBOX 360 account, thus my post last December on talking to customers. After XBOX, Windows Live OneCare, killing viruses and spyware.

Been hit by a jeepney once and fell off a motorcycle once.

Just a quick update.

Of Insomnia and Bandai

I called this blog "Daydreamer" when I created it back in college because I would daydream whenever my mind idles. Sometimes even when it doesn't like in the middle of a class or walking toward the nearby malls. But now the name serves a new meaning.

"Day dreamer". Meaning I dream in the daytime coz that's when I sleep. Lawll. It's 7am and I have not slept in a day and a half.

===========

Yes, I have been into gunpla[Gundam plastic models] lately. Thank you for asking. *worships Bandai* Lewl!

I'm looking to see if I can recover my old CBox. Making new ones is a pain in the ass.

It's good to be

So I finally decided to really really return to this blog. I've posted attempts a few times and thought of it silently even more times than that. But now, finally, three years, seven layouts, five attempts, and a million sarcastic comments later, I've come back. Why? It feels right. No emotional downpour, no mental shut down, no dire need to put up a call center training piece, and certainly no pushy half-Chinese person.

Inspired? Maybe. Feeling creative? Not so much. Need to really write something? Always, but never do. The blog called me out and said: "Hey, remember this? [note:sarcasm]". And I said: "The f*ck?! My blog's talking!". Okay, none of that really happened. Not in this reality, at least.

I missed this. Maybe that's it. I miss it.

So, Daydreamer. It's back. It's good to be back.
