Luiboi is back once again! I was away for quite some time but I’m officially back! Thanks for all the people who visited the site while I was away! Now that I’m back it only means that my sembreak has officially ended (sigh). I never noticed that my 3 weeks of R&R is already done, time really pass by so swiftly.
During the course of sembreak I never did anything much. I never went to any place or any parties (main reason? I had no money.hehe). I just spent all my time at home, resting and helping out. Kinda boring? May be but for me its just fine coz I was able to get a well-deserved rest that I have been mentioning for ‘bout two posts already.
Sembreak routine
just as what I’ve mentioned from my previous posts I spent my sembreak back in my hometown in Cavite and my life in the province begins early.
7:30-8:00 am – wake up time
8-8:45 am-clean up the house
8:45-9:30 am-gardening (watering the plants)
9:30-9:45 am – I take up a bath
9:45 am- breakfast
10-12:00 noon- idle time (watching movies, tv, reading, listening to cd)
12:00 noon- lunch
12:30 pm- wash dishes
12:30-3:00 pm – siesta
3:00 pm- merienda
4-5:30 pm – basketball
5:30 pm- rest and take up a bath again
6:00 pm- dinner
7-9:00 pm- I go to my cousin’s house to hang-out and play pc , Grand Theft Auto-Vice City and NBA live to be exact
9:00 pm-I went home
9-12:00 midnight-idle time (watching movies,tv, reading, listening to cd, drawing)
12:00 midnight-sleeping time but if there’s a good movie that im watching im still up to ‘bout 2 in the mornin’
well, that’s how my life revolves during the sembreak. That was my routine for Mondays to Fridays though coz weekends are quite busier and my sked is little bit random coz all of my realtives are at home, somewhat of a mini-reunion every weekend, I still wake-up early though.
movies,anime and nba
as you can see from my sembreak routine I have my idle time that includes watching movies, tv, reading, listening to cd and drawing. Speaking of watching movies I watched a couple of movies during this sembreak not only movies but also a couple of animes coz my cousin, dribs has quite a collection. Here’s the list of the movies I watched, I haven’t made any reviews though.
S.W.A.T- I love the story!
Shrek 2- funny! I think the human shrek looks like Edu Manzano.
Finding Nemo- even if it’s a funny movie the story is quite dramatic though.
The Last Samurai- a new favorite! I liked this movie a lot especially the story!
You Got Served- a cool movie! I learned quite a little black lingo like; ‘zup playa? for sho’(did I spelled that correctly?it was their version of: “for sure”) the choreography of the dances were ‘stig!as if the dancers had no bones at all!it also has a nice story.
Video Girl AI- a nice anime. It tells of a broken hearted guy (coz he was rejected by the girl she liked, which I can relate to very much) that rented of a video tape that has girl coming out of the video to help him out ease his pain away but eventually fell for the video girl in the end. It contains a bit of naughty scenes though.
Tenchi Muyo 2nd Movie- if I remembered it correctly the series of this anime was shown in local and cable tv in the past so you might know quite a bit ‘bout this anime. As for this movie it tells of tenchi’s supposedly future daughter coming back in time to kill him.
Love Hina- a romantic-comedy anime. I wish I could have watched the series coz I was only able to watch the OVA’s (Original Video Animation or the animes that werent shown on tv). It has a nice romantic story. It tells of a guy who made a promise to this girl when they were still young. He promised that they would go to Tokyo University together bcoz they believed that if lovers went to the same university they would end up heppily ever after. Years pass and the two kids parted ways coz the girl’s family moved away. Eventually the guy and the girl crossed paths once again, they took up the entrance exams together and eventually passed. But this was a different girl, it wasn’t the same girl he made a promise to. When the real girl showed up it was conflict but the guy eventually ended up with the girl he thought he made the promise to. I learned a couple of Japanese urban legends in this anime.
Hunter X Hunter 3rd OVA- a popular anime. You might have watched its series on local tv. This OVA took off where the tv series ended. Its about 7 cds, 14 episodes to be exact. It tells of Gon and Killua’s adventure in Greed Island. Gon was able to locate his father after he finished the game but its still open ended though. I never thought I’d finished this series.
Gate Keepers 21- another popular anime, I think gate keepers was shown on AXN a couple of years back. This OVA takes place years after the series, it tells of another batch of gate keepers led by the daughter of the lead character of the first series.
NBA Ankle Breakers- this nba special features some of the coolest cross-overs ever seen in the game!’stig!
NBA 100 Greatest Plays of All Time-‘nuff said. This features the greatest plays in the game.
the beginning of the end
now that sembreak is done it only means that I’m back to school. As what most of you know im already in my senior year and this semester is my last semester. I still cant believed that I’ve already reached this level and I’m quite worried ‘bout graduating and finding a job. Its still months away but I’m imagining what might happen when I already reached that stage. Im wonderin’ what would I end up? What kind of job would I get or do I get a job right away? Did I learn anything after years of studying? These are the things I worry but as I’ve said its still mothns away so I’d just enjoy each day until that day comes.
I only have 15 units left in my curriculum or 5 subjects to be exact. I have a nice sched this semester, my sched during every MWF is 3-6:00 pm and 3:30-6:30 pm during TTH and I got no classes during weekends. Now that I havent got much load I’m planning on going to gym and work out. I already got a large tummy and its ‘bout time that I work out so I’d look better when graduation comes. Its also a nice alternative to pass time coz just as what I’ve mentioned from my previous post we no longer got no cable tv. Im not dreaming of having an action star body nor a 6-pack abs. I just want to have a regular decent build with no fatty excess. A little like Randy Orton’s body (if your watching WWE you’ll know what im talking ‘bout) he’s muscular but not that much. I only hope that I’d be able to achieve this dream.hehe.
comic book update
this my other alternative while we have no cable tv. Im still not starting though coz im still studying perspectives. So that when I start I’d be able to have different angles in my panels, a little ambitious but I’d be able to do it hopefully through constant practice. I already finished drawing my characters and I’d be posting some of my sample works in the coming days as soon as my cousin gets his other computer back coz that’s where his scanner is attached to. He’s doing his thesis right now that’s why his other cpu is with his groupmate, he’s taking up computer science and their doing a program for their thesis.
As for the story of my premier issue, it’s ‘bout a guy who crosses path with the girl who rejected him back in high school. Though the girl rejected him back in the day their situation was different this time around. Things are happening so fast and the guy does not even expect the things that are happening to be possible. He fell for the girl once again and so did the girl. But when the time came that the guy would confess his feelings for this girl something happened. The girl went away. The guy wasn’t able to tell the girl his feelings. He eventually learned that the girl was just in the country for a visit. The girl did fell for the guy but the girl chose her priorties over her emotions that leave the guy broken hearted once again.
Just as what I’ve previously told you in my previous posts I’m doin’ a comic book in the tradition of WASTED (Gerry Alanguilan’s masterpiece). Its not a superhero comic book but rather a tragic love story, its like a pocketbook turned into a comic book. I loved this idea that’s why I thought of creating my own. I planning after making my first issue to have a series based on the guy and his friends. They are in a band and I’m planning to tell of their different stories, their love stories to be exact. But my stories would not all end up happily ever after, just like Wasted it would be tragic. Im planning to tell of stories that guys are hurt too, that they are not always the one playing, that they are not always the one taking things for granted and other sad tragic stories. Just like Wasted some of my stories would be semi-autobiographic coz I experienced a couple of tragic stories as well and I’m planning to tell them through my comic books. If this would all be successful this would be the first series that our comic book group that my cousin and I started, and we call our group the “The Dagatan Project”.
…
this sure has been another lenghty post coz I’ve not updated my blog for some time and this post makes up for the time that I was away. In fact I already have another post ready which im planning on posting up tomorrow or on Friday. That just shows how I miss blogging. I hope you werent bored with this post and that you were able to read all of my thoughts for this post.
‘till next time.
I sent an S.O.S tonight
