July 26, 2005 -- Second post... ever

And here I am again in a follow-up attempt from yesterday. Not much happening, but I'll try to fill this space in again with gibberish and other stuff that I might deem fit here in my blog entry.

--> Not much happening in school, tired and frustrated, my group wasn't able to submit the groupwork assigned. It was awfully hard to research, and with a 5pm deadline, it's just not meant to be.

--> I had dinner with family at Max's Gateway Mall. I ate a lot of sweet and sour fish there, instead of focusing my eyes on the Chicken alone.

--> In another un-related news, the Pre-release tournaments for the 9th Edition of Magic: The Gathering would be held on July 29-31, 2005 on various malls around the Metropolis area. Where are they, you might ask? I don't know, and I don't care since I don't really go to stuff like that... even before.

--> I happened to run across a URL sent to me by my friend/OJTmate Modesto, which was a free download for Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition from Microsoft. The only problem is, it requires Windows 2000 and above while I only use Windows ME. Dat's not cool. Really un-cool. Just in case you guys are interested, here's the link: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/

Till the next time I get a chance to write here in my Journal, consider this finished.

July 25, 2005 - First Post... Ever.

Hello folks, and it's me writing my first ever journal entry here in Blogger.

--> It's my girlfriend's sister Wheng's birthday today. She turns 28 today. We had dinner at a restaurant. Happy Birthday ate Wheng! ^_^

--> Today is also the 5th State of the Nation Address of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. I wasn't able to watch it, and I needed to watch it because of certain requirements for the school. But that's cool. I guess I didn't miss that much. I heard that support for the president was still substantial despite the constant pressure for her to step down from her position.

--> Oh yeah, on our way to the restaurant I mentioned above, me and Vanessa, my girlfriend opted to ride a Taxi to get there and back to their place since there was not enough space to accomodate everybody in their car. ^_^.

--> I happened to chat with some of my former OJT-mates (does such a word exist?)... and we're all having the same sentiment: It's a long way to finishing this year. But they seemed more stressed than me. Probably because of their professors' standards or something that I don't experience at DBTC.

--> Oh, I just ran across this while browsing the Net. Wizards of the Coast, Inc. has just released the spoiler list for the Ninth Edition, the latest Core Set of Magic the Gathering. Just thought that there are still many players around and are interested to see which cards would get to be reprinted back to Standard format.

--> I'm usually on IRC at the Phazenet server as Tassadar, message me whenever you're out there. ^_^ I'm normally playing trivia, downloading mp3s or just plain chatting.

This has gone long than expected. It's almost 12 midnight and I would have classes tomorrow. Till the next entry, consider this finished.
