Wandering

Date: June 29th, 2007

I’ve been missing from the blogging scene again. What have I been doing? Learning Japanese. Okay, not exactly. That’s just a roundabout way of explaining my new found love for Japanese anime. I prefer them with the subtitles because I pick up a lot of phrases that way. Great Teacher Onizuka, Eyeshield 21, The Prince [...]

Not exactly back

Date: June 12th, 2007

I haven’t exactly been too busy, but neither have I been idle since I last posted. I really had to take a break from blogging because it was getting too addictive. It was more like switching addictions — as bloggers whose Facebook walls I’ve been trolling will attest. Why exactly did I leave? Well, for [...]

Leave

Date: May 25th, 2007

I will be away from blogging for a while. I need to concentrate on a project that’s been long overdue, and the blog world has been getting very heated.

Tournament

Date: April 22nd, 2007

L-R: Azuka, Kip (my Nepalese friend), Gary (the head of our club), Vito, Alan (the Filipino — our best player. He’s not left-handed!). I’m holding my glasses in my hand. Trust me, you don’t want to see me with them on!. We played at the state championships yesterday. It was the first time I was [...]

Dependence

Date: March 29th, 2007

About 50% of my life since I came here has been spent behind my screen. I never would have realized how much the Internet meant to me until the network connection in the dorms went down. No e-mail, no Wikipedia, no blog-hopping, and I was in danger of losing a Scriptlance project I’d worn the [...]
