If I will be asked what makes Maribago Bluewater totally different from other beach resorts I’ve known, then, my primary answer is definitely the way they market their services.  It’s actually the very first time that I heard of a high end resort that utilizes the credibility of bloggers, using their online power to reach international target markets.  This is one thing that lots of establishments haven’t realized yet.&lt;/li&gt;

CBS is very dear to me because of various personal and official reasons.  This is why I’m voting for it (http://cebubloggers.com) for PBA’s Bloggers Choice Award.  In the near future, I am quite sure that CBS will not only become the leading bloggers group in Cebu, but also, will become the Philippines’ premiere blogging community.  This is because, as what Bimbo Cabochan said, “CBS is a very powerful group.”&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.empressofdrac.com/2009/07/25/satellite-tv-is-also-the-in-thing-nowadays/"&gt;Satellite TV is also the IN thing nowadays&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Although the internet is the more prominent communication medium that takes the world by storm today, there’s a long time invention that captured the hearts of most couch potatoes.  This is the more sophisticated, more powerful Satellite TV.  I’ve been planning to get one, that’s why I searched for  some infos online last night and found Satellite TV Site.com.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.empressofdrac.com/2009/07/25/2464/"&gt;SEO Marketing (The Genesis) - A Rough Draft&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Search Engine Optimization is an online marketing that proves to be very effective because it uses SEs (Search Engines) as its means of attracting website traffic.  This traffic includes people who are searching for anything on the web.  It is reported that more than 80% of American internet users are using search engines like google, yahoo, bing, etc. to look for stuffs to buy, or services to subscribe to online.  This means that if someone wanted to outsource services, he would likely use google to search for companies who offer outsourcing services.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.empressofdrac.com/2009/08/04/buy-a-postcard-pay-it-forward/"&gt;Buy a Postcard, Pay it Forward&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
In our effort to unite artists, promote their artwork while at the same time serving our community, we would like to invite photo enthusiasts, photographers - both amateur and professional, to contribute their talent and skill for a cause. The entire proceeds of this project will go to Tsinelas Foundation, a non-profit organization which promotes literacy and assists poor students in poor barangays in Cebu.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.empressofdrac.com/2009/09/04/cbs-castaways-stirred-sumilon-islands-silence/"&gt;CBS Castaways stirred Sumilon Island&amp;rsquo;s Silence&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
And, at the very moment we set foot in Sumilon’s 24-hectare virginal island, the calm and still surroundings of the place was disturbed (I’m the only one who noticed all these.  Hehehe).  The meek white sands sensed something is not all right, the old Ipil-Ipil trees bent their slender trunks to investigate, the white seashore waves moved closer to the seashore’s end to take a peek, the beautiful water in the infinity pool wanted to jump out to greet us, the kayaks at the small river’s end were nervous, the snorkels were optimistic, the delectable foods served on top of the table were scared, the famous white sandbar was unaffected, and the sandstorm had something deadly in mind…And wait, the innocent, chinky-eyed Koreans were dumbfounded. LOL!&lt;/li&gt;

ShopWiki is like a mall where you can find almost everything you wanted to purchase online.  From collectibles, food and beverages, pets, furnitures, DVDs to fashion and gift guides. This is the best alternative shopping portal especially for those people who got phobias shopping in malls infested by soul-less criminals.&lt;/li&gt;

My God resides within me.  My God is not jealous.  My God doesn’t punish me everytime I commit mistakes.  My God just let me learn my lessons in every mistakes and failures I did and encountered.  My God is not a supernatural being.  My God is not a he or a she.  My God is my will, my faith, and my life.  My God is everybody’s God, but most people just attributed theirs to what the society dictates them.  My God lives and dies with me.  My God stays forever with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This life is meant to be lived not to be analyzed or to be debated at.  We are not here to impress each other but to enjoy our life’s journey towards the limitation of our being a human.  Frankly speaking, one should not seek for a meaning because it’s already there.  Seeking or finding is not the correct term.  It should be “recognizing” ones meaning.  I had easily recognized my meaning because I’m not dwelling in the past nor  I’m obsessively anticipating the future.  What I’m doing is I’m living my present to its fullest and I treat anything as if it’s my last.  It is only in this way that I could truly enjoy my life.  I’ve seen a lot of people who just died and missed so much of their lives.   It’s better to do anything you want rather than regretting at the end because of not doing anything.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18495510-3761592637177321069?l=empressofdrac.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/InTheSarcophagusOfAnImmortal/~4/Qb5dDByVuMI" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/feeds/3761592637177321069/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18495510&amp;postID=3761592637177321069&amp;isPopup=true" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18495510/posts/default/3761592637177321069" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18495510/posts/default/3761592637177321069" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/InTheSarcophagusOfAnImmortal/~3/Qb5dDByVuMI/snafu.html" title="snafu..." /><author><name>Empress_Of_Drac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="13903912726776644667" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/Ry3iLrX16RI/AAAAAAAAAlI/R5C6BiVvLb8/s72-c/normalpeopleboring.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/2007/11/snafu.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18495510.post-5701766748804332803</id><published>2007-10-30T12:35:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-10-30T12:42:16.878+08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Music" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Online Stuffs" /><title type="text">Bisrock blogsite mentioned in FHM...</title><content type="html">&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; friend told me that my &lt;a href="http://bisrock.blogspot.com/"&gt;bisrock blogsite&lt;/a&gt; is mentioned in FHM's June issue.

This is what the article said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;On the surface, Cebu bands dabble in pretty much the same sounds as their Manila counterparts. But the crucial difference is how they reproduce their sound in an album. In that part of the game Cebuanos trample the competition. Case in point, &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/urbandub"&gt;Urbandub&lt;/a&gt;.  "When we went to the studio where &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/pck"&gt;Urbandub&lt;/a&gt; recorded their albums, the equipment were antiquated," enthused Sandwich guitarist Diego Castillo.

Unlike other fraternities which gained notoriety due to violence, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;APO&lt;/span&gt; stands with its goals and missions, and that what made the organization a role model in our society.   Instead of bragging about high-powered guns and private goons (like what the members of other fraternities are doing), APO has a community service-oriented activities that alleviate the hardships of the common people.  This kind of "fraternitism" should be the one that should be practiced by all fraternities.  And these fraternities should also train their members in keeping their feet on the ground.  (Base from my observations most fraternity members especially those who are into violence are braggarts...).  Check more&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;APO&lt;/span&gt; &lt;b&gt;Zeta Omega&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;(ΖΩ)&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.apozetaomega.org/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18495510-8691720047994790?l=empressofdrac.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/InTheSarcophagusOfAnImmortal/~4/jYVM27GsOio" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/feeds/8691720047994790/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18495510&amp;postID=8691720047994790&amp;isPopup=true" title="4 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18495510/posts/default/8691720047994790" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18495510/posts/default/8691720047994790" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/InTheSarcophagusOfAnImmortal/~3/jYVM27GsOio/apo.html" title="APO" /><author><name>Empress_Of_Drac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="13903912726776644667" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/RyU8DLX150I/AAAAAAAAAgw/Zv7mH6ASLcY/s72-c/apo.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">4</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/2007/10/apo.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18495510.post-3455099865712838554</id><published>2007-10-27T21:43:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-10-27T21:59:29.342+08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="People" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="My Photos" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="My Stories" /><title type="text">A Plan To Conquer Metro Manila</title><content type="html">&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;"  &gt;T&lt;/span&gt;he year is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3, 333&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The beautiful archipelago of the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Philippines&lt;/span&gt;, once the crib of the mighty Filipinos is threatend with devilish attempts toward sadistic damnation, as the Empresses and Emperors of the two big islands in the south combined forces to conquer the most progressive and biggest island of the north.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The plan is headed by &lt;a href="http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Empress Of Drac&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (ME), the sole ruler of Central Visayas Region.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;She is one of the cunniest among their clan and she has no inhibitions when it comes to power.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;She has the strongest and largest batallion of zombies and vampires, all ready to attack their targets at her command.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/RyNBIrX15yI/AAAAAAAAAgg/l9INFL-d1Ow/s1600-h/gothic.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/RyNBIrX15yI/AAAAAAAAAgg/l9INFL-d1Ow/s320/gothic.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126012418215241506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;The plan laid by the &lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://empressofdrac.16.forumer.com/"&gt;Empress&lt;/a&gt; has a back up in case the first one would fail.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Plan A is to assasinate Count Legolas, the ruler of Luzon (especifically Metro Manila) who brutally turned down their offer to combine forces.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The Count is guarded by the most elite hi-breed vampires.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Which means that they are already immune to sunlight and are already veterans in close-combat, and armed with high-powered automatic rifles.

 &lt;/span&gt;He indirectly stated that Filipinos are hypocrites because we say we are free from foreign conquerors but the truth is we are like puppies in front of them and we even give them special treatments more than our fellows.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;We are complaining about foreigners getting hold of our major business industries, but we are actually fascinated with these people that we are like silly beggars in their presence.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Lastly, Benigno stated that Filipinos are just good in complaining but they don't really make any efforts to pursue what they want.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;      &lt;/o:p&gt;I couldn't agree more with Benigno's views and opinions.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;As an ordinary denizen in this country I was once become a subject to this what we called "Filipino Racism".&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;We are so conscious of the color of our skins and we always look up to those fairer-skinned mortals.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;In my very young age I tend to hate myself because of my skin color.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;How I couldn't be when all my classmates are teasing and bullying me because of it.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I even questioned the unknown why I got a skin like this and why my classmates despise it so much.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;At an early age, I was harshly segregated from everyone because of that trivial reality.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;How pathetic I was that time.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;But well, that is history.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I considered it a part of this society's rotten culture.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;And I believe that wherever you may be discrimination will always be there and it would be up to you if you will let it degrade your integrity and confidence.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;      &lt;/o:p&gt;It bothers me a lot how our fellows tend to categorize us when it comes to our English fluency.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The ones who speak it well are the elite ones and the others are in the lower class.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I always find it easy to speak to foreigners in English rather than talking English to my fellow Filipinos.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It is because most of us are like English Professors who tend to evaluate and criticize us in every punctuations, pronunciations and grammars we are using.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It is so sad that we are too proud in speaking English but we barely know how to speak our local dialects.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It irritates me a lot while commuting in a jeepney with fellow passengers talking in English like drunken assholes (just like telling every passengers that hey, we are elite we speak English).&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Oh, well that is my point of view or maybe I'm just too short-sighted here.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I couldn't contain myself but laugh at our own silliness.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;We rally in streets shouting about freedom and despising foreign capitalists, and then, after that we go to McDonalds and drink Coke Float and eat Mac Burgers.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Filipinos are funny people I may say.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Sometimes what we say contradicts to what we do.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;That's why I couldn't blame Benigno's claim that we are only good at complaining.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Well, it is still great to say that not all Filipinos are like that.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Racism will always be there.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;You couldn't stop people from labeling you and it's all up to you how to react on that.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Even our president is not spared. Yet, she proves to all that height doesn't matter.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It all boils down to performance.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Filipinos are just good in looking at other people's mistakes, and I'm sure we don't differ that much from any caucasians or africans out there.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18495510-5190748812540085961?l=empressofdrac.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/InTheSarcophagusOfAnImmortal/~4/ZQXs0s_8Eqw" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/feeds/5190748812540085961/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18495510&amp;postID=5190748812540085961&amp;isPopup=true" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18495510/posts/default/5190748812540085961" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18495510/posts/default/5190748812540085961" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/InTheSarcophagusOfAnImmortal/~3/ZQXs0s_8Eqw/local-racism.html" title="Local &quot;Racism&quot;" /><author><name>Empress_Of_Drac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="13903912726776644667" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/RyC79rX15uI/AAAAAAAAAgE/L-hQyA7Edzs/s72-c/Racism.gif" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/2007/10/local-racism.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18495510.post-3764782467363269088</id><published>2007-10-24T06:01:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-10-27T15:21:14.005+08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Personal Rantings" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Foods" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="My Photos" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Events" /><title type="text">Good Mornin...</title><content type="html">&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;mmmn...whatta mornin'...I woke up a while ago with a weird thought of this guy...dunno why he's popping in my dreams...I don't even know him that much...very weird ayt?

Anyways, the last few days are the busiest so far and I'm so grateful that it's all over...Hurrraaaaaaayyyy!!!!  Yesterday is the 23rd of the month...Deathgod and I celebrated our 2 years and 6 months of being together...I'm quite surprised he's actually thinking about it...I mean I'm not really expecting too much from him...Dunno...there are things that made me so sad about our relationship...too many regrets(regrets of all the foolish things I did)...too many heartaches...Sometimes I feel so dysfunctional...Dunno...But I'm so glad he never forgot our birthday(as what he jokingly calls it).  We just went to SM and ate at Dessert Factory.  He likes the place that's why...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/Rx6CuG040FI/AAAAAAAAAfk/cZoJzZgecb8/s1600-h/23-10-07_1449.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/Rx6CuG040FI/AAAAAAAAAfk/cZoJzZgecb8/s320/23-10-07_1449.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124677154612236370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;While waiting for our food...piktyur...piktyur...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/Rx6Bw2040AI/AAAAAAAAAe8/-ebPaiSg8FQ/s1600-h/23-10-07_1459.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/Rx6Bw2040AI/AAAAAAAAAe8/-ebPaiSg8FQ/s320/23-10-07_1459.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124676102345248770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;pasta...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/Rx6BxG040BI/AAAAAAAAAfE/ZiNj5T1Ae5c/s1600-h/23-10-07_1454.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/Rx6BxG040BI/AAAAAAAAAfE/ZiNj5T1Ae5c/s320/23-10-07_1454.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124676106640216082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;my fave...pork belly...yummmm...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/Rx6BxW040CI/AAAAAAAAAfM/Ba06SigFQ6w/s1600-h/23-10-07_1447.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/Rx6BxW040CI/AAAAAAAAAfM/Ba06SigFQ6w/s320/23-10-07_1447.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124676110935183394" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;stolen shot...swear...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/Rx6BxW040DI/AAAAAAAAAfU/swIcAbcSXBI/s1600-h/22-10-07_1007.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/Rx6BxW040DI/AAAAAAAAAfU/swIcAbcSXBI/s320/22-10-07_1007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124676110935183410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Last day of wrapping up our stat research...taken at undergrad bldg...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/Rx6Bxm040EI/AAAAAAAAAfc/1EmpO4MRf-I/s1600-h/18-10-07_2145.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/Rx6Bxm040EI/AAAAAAAAAfc/1EmpO4MRf-I/s320/18-10-07_2145.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124676115230150722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The infamous 24-hour exam...kafoi au...grrrrr....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;PS.

On tuesday would be our final exam in Philo and guess what? I should wake up at exactly 5:30am or else I will be late since our exam will start at 7:20am (fkuc!!). And after that would be our final long exam in stat (long, long exam...if it's long then it's longer than what you should expect...it would take us up to 7 hours (no-break exam, believe me you won't have the inclination to take your break). I never thought stat would be this tough...blame it to miss g...hukhuk...). On wednesday would be the deadline of my 2 final papers and also our final culminating activity in NSTP (what a bull...I really hate this subject). And on thursday will be another day of calvary. Miss G. decided to give us another exam in stat. This one is more on interpretations and conceptualizations (no comment...), and then after the half-day exam we will proceed to the ultimate stat "verificaiton test"...tantaran...the "24-hour" exam. Oh, yeah!!! You read that right. A "24-hour" exam in stat (nosebleeds...). And that 24 hours won't even be enough because it would be the "longest" non-stop exam I'll encounter in my whole friggin' life (stop breathing...cough...cough...). And wait...the calvary ain't over yet. On saturday (still this week) we will have another overnight to finish our research paper in stat (again?). I'm wondering if I and my groupmates can finish tabulating all the answers of those 100 respondents (i want to faint...i'm not even sure if wege had already distributed our questionnaires to our first 40 respondents...tsk...tsk...). I guess I'm not that busy ayt?

What changed? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" class="MsgBodyText" &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; Matt Olmstead: What changed is that our initial pitch to the network was [rejected], so we had to go back to the drawing board. I remember we were sitting in the room thinking, "How do we unlock Season 3, motivation-wise?" Since we're not a procedural, we have to keep everyone moving forward. We have to evolve. And given what Michael's been through, how do you keep him going? And then it was tossed out, "What happens if Sara gets killed as an extension of what we already had planned for Season 3?" We knew that would work. But clearly it was a big conversation. And when we pitched the network, they wanted to know if there was any way we could avoid that, because everyone loved Sarah's work. But in order to make the season work, we really didn't have any other motivation for Michael. We determined that this was the right thing to do in order to really jolt the series. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" class="MsgBodyText" &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; Did you ever stop to consider that this might be a slap in the face to fans who had invested two years in the Michael-Sara relationship? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" class="MsgBodyText" &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; Olmstead: We took everything into consideration. Our initial idea was to have [Sarah/Sara appear in] the first 13 episodes, so she and Michael could have a proper goodbye. There were going to be some really emotional scenes where he tried to save her from dying, but she ultimately passed. So then we whittled it down to 11 episodes, then 10 episodes, then nine episodes, then four episodes. Then we suggested flying to her she was pregnant [at the time] and living in a remote part of Canada and bringing a camera crew to her house, but that wasn't accepted. We then whittled it down to just a phone conversation, and that was turned down, too. We were really looking forward to paying off that relationship. But [when] it became evident that that wasn't going to happen, we made lemonade out of a lemon. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" class="MsgBodyText" &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; So, as a result, you were forced to kill her off sooner than you had planned? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" class="MsgBodyText" &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; Olmstead: Much sooner. We used the story to our advantage in that she was being held hostage. [Sarah] was gracious enough to let us use her image, which really helped. I totally get it, personally. She was, at the time, pregnant and living in a remote part of Canada and nesting; [she] kind of looked at the options and didn't want to go forward. No hard feelings whatsoever. The show is an ensemble. The show moves forward. There are very few untouchable actors on the show.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" class="MsgBodyText" &gt;Check the rest of the interview &lt;a href="http://www.friendster.com/group-discussion/index.php?t=msg&amp;amp;th=1083932&amp;amp;start=0&amp;amp;"&gt;here...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18495510-7814170785461669802?l=empressofdrac.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/InTheSarcophagusOfAnImmortal/~4/vyjxEbpRsu0" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/feeds/7814170785461669802/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18495510&amp;postID=7814170785461669802&amp;isPopup=true" title="2 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18495510/posts/default/7814170785461669802" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18495510/posts/default/7814170785461669802" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/InTheSarcophagusOfAnImmortal/~3/vyjxEbpRsu0/saras-dead.html" title="Sara's dead...):" /><author><name>Empress_Of_Drac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="13903912726776644667" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/Rw4xQb4_X7I/AAAAAAAAAd0/fh58EZFTUbw/s72-c/220px-Pb_sara.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/2007/10/saras-dead.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18495510.post-2523727896997633798</id><published>2007-10-10T23:22:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-10-27T15:27:48.746+08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="People" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Qoutes" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="philosophy" /><title type="text">Rajneesh Osho</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/RwzvD74_X6I/AAAAAAAAAds/WLT7GZ6aQ14/s1600-h/25_134.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/RwzvD74_X6I/AAAAAAAAAds/WLT7GZ6aQ14/s320/25_134.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119729727308783522" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;E&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;hem...one of my fave philosopher...In any other way, I can tell that he's the most practical one I've known...I used to hate Indian people before but this bearded guy changed my construct...hahahahahaha...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really like this statement from his book:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Life is a journey---an endless journey. Do not analyze. Just enjoy the journey. Pity you!---in your obsession for the destination, you miss to appreciate the beauty of the journey itself. There is no goal---if life has a goal, then when you reach the goal, you have become imprisoned by your own goal---you have become less by your goal. What we have in life is a series of journeys. In fact it is the journey alone that counts."

And then I were telling myself to be more studious this time because I’m not in UC anymore.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;And then I found myself talking about my friends and how I miss our bondings and outings.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;And I were out of words again.    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;    &lt;/o:p&gt;This “free association” thing is quite unique yet not lucrative.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I mean if you’ll look only at the surface you can easily generalize that it’s like a child activity.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It seems nonsense talking to yourself while recording it.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;And it is basically a waste of time for other people who don’t have any idea what it is for.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Anyways, this thing is a sort of a loner-confessionary-instrument.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;If you got no one to talk to and you want to release some negative energies, then I think it can be quite helpful.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Talking to myself for the very first time while aware that I recorded it made me conscious of my words.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I dunno, but I’m not used to talking alone with myself.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Writing alone is my kind of stuff.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;And in my point of view I don’t see any unusualness in myself while doing the activity.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;But honestly, after I released all the stuffs that made me anxious that day I really, really feel comfortable and it seemed like I became guilt-free.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I guess it had to do with the freedom of saying whatever you want without interruptions or opinions from anyone.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;And the only person who can scientifically analyze the result of that activity is maybe a professional psychologist.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Anyways, I tried to listen to my recorded voice and I really find it akward listening to myself.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It’s quite funny but the activity couldn’t be that helpful to all mortals.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It all boils down to honesty and sincerity to oneself.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;If you’re not serious in doing it then it’s useless.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;~eod~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18495510-4982634621535436929?l=empressofdrac.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/InTheSarcophagusOfAnImmortal/~4/uY0jLEiCIGA" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/feeds/4982634621535436929/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18495510&amp;postID=4982634621535436929&amp;isPopup=true" title="2 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18495510/posts/default/4982634621535436929" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18495510/posts/default/4982634621535436929" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/InTheSarcophagusOfAnImmortal/~3/uY0jLEiCIGA/free-association06-30-07.html" title="Free Association(06-30-07)" /><author><name>Empress_Of_Drac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="13903912726776644667" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/Rv_T_L4_X1I/AAAAAAAAAcw/94P8Je4PpMk/s72-c/230217859.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/2007/10/free-association06-30-07.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18495510.post-3156307196975775591</id><published>2007-09-20T00:17:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-10-27T15:17:51.380+08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="TV" /><title type="text">Prison Break Season 3</title><content type="html">&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/RvFL750g4JI/AAAAAAAAAck/h2Bsg-qrWV4/s1600-h/prison_break_season_3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

I commonly disregard unknown messages and just delete them in my inbox but this one stirs my curiousity. So, I asked if who he is then this was his reply:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;Gud pm, sori i jst read ur msg, jst nw, coz i wok up l8..Actualy im jst nobody ho apreciates ur art and creativ writng.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Hmmmn...well, I already have the idea where he got my mobile number (and it's here from this blog since I put an advertisement above about a part-time business along with my contact number). But I'm not the type who easily believes anyone, especially with strangers and in this case this mortal is more than a stranger. So, I investigate further and he texted this:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;Nt only appreciate bt u also nspire me, u made me c lyf in a dfrnt view, i nvr tot dir ws som1 hu wud hate da bittrns of lyf at da same tym cheris 8.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;This heightened my curiousity. Does this stranger know me personally? Is he telling the truth or he's just someone I know who's playing a foolish joke with me? I told him I don't know what he's talking about and this is his reply:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;I'm i didn't.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0);"&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;And I asked if it's Ate Delanie who's playing joke with me and this is the reply I received:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 102, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;I'm sory i didn't mean 2 mislead u, jst 4get about me, im jst hapy i acidntaly sw ur space, dnt bothr rplying ds s nt evn my real no.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Well, it should have ended there but my curiousity told me to dig deeper.  I asked who he really is and this was his reply:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;Im **** my no. S *********** i jst borowd my co-employes fon coz most ppl r dscrmnativ about difrnt subscrbrs and only rply 2 da same&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;.  And then I ran out of load.  And then this afternoon I received another text message:&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;I dreamd last nyt dat i ws n da midl of a desrt, w/ da scorchng heat, burning my feet, 4 evry step i made, evry pain ws worth 8..4 at da end of ds place...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;and then another text message for the continuation of the text:&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;..i know YOU will be there waiting for me!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Hmmn...quite a poetic text message.  I asked him if he's a poet and this was his reply:&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;Nop, i jst lyk cnvrtng my unexpresd emotions into wordz i write, bt n person im jst an ordnary mortal far from ds.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color:white;"&gt;    Hmmmn...I'm kind of skeptical and I'm not really falling for the bait...So, I asked him where he found my mobile number and this was his reply:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt; Uhuh, jst by acidnt..

Why on earth would he know about me interested in poetry?  I don't even put it in my profile that I like poetry...and anime?  I only like HunterXHunter and that doesn't mean that I'm an anime fanatic.  And why on earth my blog would just pop up from nowhere?  He's downloading some applications and then my blogsite just popped up?  Unbelievable!!  Never in my entire experience that a certain blog had popped up while I'm downloading something.  This person knows me personally...Hmmn...And then he texted:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt; So u also lyk hxh?  Do u knw whr i could get a dvd copy or whr to dwnload da continuation of grid island?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Tsk...tsk...!  Amazing!!  A guy who seems to download anything from the net pretended not to know where to get downloadable of his "fave" anime series...tsk...tsk...And while I'm typing this entry I received another text message from him:&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;Cool poetry, quite mpresiv bt id lyk 2 ask u a personal question, hop u dnt mind...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Poetry?  What poetry he's talking about?  I only wrote poems 48 years ago, why on earth he's reading a poem?  Or maybe he's texting the wrong person...WEIRD...and a personal question?  Gosh...what a "mouthful"...I guess somebody's playing a game with me...hmmmmn...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18495510-4392334429139081838?l=empressofdrac.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/InTheSarcophagusOfAnImmortal/~4/ykVxpLz0jYo" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/feeds/4392334429139081838/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18495510&amp;postID=4392334429139081838&amp;isPopup=true" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18495510/posts/default/4392334429139081838" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18495510/posts/default/4392334429139081838" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/InTheSarcophagusOfAnImmortal/~3/ykVxpLz0jYo/mysterious-texter.html" title="Mysterious &quot;Texter&quot;" /><author><name>Empress_Of_Drac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="13903912726776644667" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/Ru56zNZlx6I/AAAAAAAAAcE/xn2WuuXd0MQ/s72-c/text.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/2007/09/mysterious-texter.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18495510.post-5819676475555593891</id><published>2007-09-08T20:49:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2008-03-16T01:56:51.835+08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Personal Rantings" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Music Lyrics" /><title type="text">post infection fatigue syndrome</title><content type="html">&lt;div class="entry-content"&gt;    &lt;div class="entry-body"&gt;     &lt;p&gt;*shameless*&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;o you ever feel like breaking down?&lt;br /&gt;Do you ever feel out of place?&lt;br /&gt;Like somehow you just don't belong&lt;br /&gt;And no one understands you&lt;br /&gt;Do you ever wanna run away?&lt;br /&gt;Do you lock yourself in your room?&lt;br /&gt;With the radio on turned up so loud&lt;br /&gt;And no one hears you screaming&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; To be hurt, to feel lost&lt;br /&gt;To be left out in the dark&lt;br /&gt;To be kicked when you're down&lt;br /&gt;To feel like you've been pushed around&lt;br /&gt;To be on the edge of breaking down&lt;br /&gt;And no one's there to save you&lt;br /&gt;No you don't know what it's like...&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;NB1:&lt;/span&gt; an excerpt from a lyrics of a song i hate...ironic but...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;NB2:&lt;/span&gt; seems like i have a post-teenage sickness...what the heck...im too old for this and i should be more stable...what's happening in here?

All I want is a week-long vacation in a very secluded island away from any civilization.  I want a chilled beer and a grilled "human" (*grins mischievously*) meat and only a very beautiful sunset in my horizon.  I want to hear the lazy waves coming back and forth and taste the salty sea air in my lips.  Wow! And oh, a whole night swimming in the beach...yummm...  &lt;p&gt;Stop the daydreaming eod and get back to work!!!  I'm losing control and it is true.  I don't know what to prioritize.  My study?

It's vague at first what really happened that's why we contact his boss.  The next text message is he's in the Community Hospital.  Mama's worries had lessened.  She told us the injury must be minor because he still managed to text us using his boss' mobile phone.  And then quarter after midnight he came.  His boss, along with her husband brought him in the house.  He cannot use his motorcycle anymore because he couldn't walk.  At first we thought that he's the one who had unintentionally hit someone while driving, but it turned out that he had lost control of his vehicle to save a heedless motorist who had blindedly crossed the the other side of the road without looking at either sides.  Papa chose to turn the other way to lessen the impact of the accident.  He's the only one who's being injured.  He has wounds and bruises all over his body and we still have to see his x-ray tomorrow if he has some fractures and the likes.  Hope he will have none of those.

Their burgers are yummier than mcdonalds.  Their fr0zen iced tea is so heavenly I want it bottomless.    My tummy was bulging after I finished devouring my bacon cheese burger.

He said he's using some kind of "technique", and if I wanted to learn what it is then I should go to their place in Minglanilla (so that he can teach me).  Oh well, I guess 50k didn't interest me that much during that time.  That's why until now I'm still wondering how they do it.  Even a friend of mine who has a local website is earning 11-13k a month just for this one.  Dammit!  I'm quite disappointed.  My &lt;strong&gt;mylot&lt;/strong&gt; income is much higher than this one and that one took me only 2 to 3 months.  The worst thing about this one is I should wait until my income reach 100h before I can claim it.  Adsense is great!!

Before I watch this movie I've already heard some remarks from my friends that it's pretty bloody, scary, terrifying, and everything gory, and they told me to watch it because they know that I'm into this stuff.  Well, I watched the first part and I'm quite glued up on the screen from the start to the end.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div face="verdana" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;SAW is not really the jigsaw...no...no...no...It's that "thing" the&lt;br /&gt;serial killer "SEE" that the victims didn't.  The serial killer can be compared to Robin Hood...oh, well...not so...He is a demented fellow.  Anyways, Robin Hood because he tried to change his victims' lives by giving them roles in his brainsick-crazy games, and the ones who survive would know "how great it is to be alive". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div face="verdana" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;As what I've said the SERIAL KILLER is SICK.  He's SICK both mentally and PHYSICALLY. He has a malady that cannot be cured and his KILLINGS&lt;br /&gt;are way of reminding his victims how important it is to be alive.  His illness is eating him inside and his unhinged mind instructs him to do some bloody games.  He called his victims pathetic because he himself is piteous and he's a hecatomb of his own catastrophe.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div face="verdana" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;That is so far my psychology of the character of the villain. I still have to watch 2 and 3...yuummm...And I picked a very important lesson from this movie...as what the serial killer said "MOST PEOPLE ARE JUST TOO UNGRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE."  So goddamn true...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div face="verdana" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Remember mortals..."It's GREAT TO BE ALIVE..."  Are you grateful that you are alive right at this very second, reading my post?  Take a minute of reflection mortals and beware... HE's maybe standing at your back, ready to abduct you and make you a character in one of his morbid, macabre games...hahahahahahaha...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;~eod~&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18495510-848916802166382284?l=empressofdrac.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/InTheSarcophagusOfAnImmortal/~4/u1UVn5eZ3TE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/feeds/848916802166382284/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18495510&amp;postID=848916802166382284&amp;isPopup=true" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18495510/posts/default/848916802166382284" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18495510/posts/default/848916802166382284" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/InTheSarcophagusOfAnImmortal/~3/u1UVn5eZ3TE/most-people-are-just-too-ungrateful-to.html" title="MOST PEOPLE ARE JUST TOO UNGRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE" /><author><name>Empress_Of_Drac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="13903912726776644667" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/RkX8EaxT_XI/AAAAAAAAAUg/nY4HoN3iVfQ/s72-c/saw-movie-poster-white.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/2007/05/most-people-are-just-too-ungrateful-to.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18495510.post-8899846316737265080</id><published>2007-04-21T11:23:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-10-27T15:30:26.551+08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="People" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="psychology" /><title type="text">Seung Cho is a Paranoid Schizophrenic...</title><content type="html">&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/RimV8tpEUoI/AAAAAAAAAT4/X2dIoZjrNT0/s1600-h/gal.10.cho.nbc.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/RimV8tpEUoI/AAAAAAAAAT4/X2dIoZjrNT0/s320/gal.10.cho.nbc.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5055736926976627330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;hat's the initial analysis of an expert told Larry King on his show Larry King Live about the 23-year old gunman, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Seung Cho&lt;/span&gt; of Virginia Tech University.  I am kinda fascinated with this case since it involves more on &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;psychological aspects of a human brain &lt;/span&gt;as it's being put into some mysterious twists and turns.  The whole world was shocked by this devastating man-made catastrophe and this is definitely the deadliest massacre in the American modern history.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;There are questions of the school's security, how the gunman managed to kill all those students, what really was inside his mind that very second he mercilessly slaughtered all those innocent people, what made him do it, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;who are his accomplice (if he had one)&lt;/span&gt;, did he really intend to kill all of them by personal choice and a lot, lot more of unanswered questions.  He did send some of his videos and manifesto to a TV station and the people were shocked of how much hatred he has towards the people around him especifically those &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;rich kids and hateful snobs&lt;/span&gt;.  His family are greatly devastated and heartbroken of what he did and there are no words to express how sad they are of the crime he made.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Seung Cho is a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;loner&lt;/span&gt;.  That's the common description of him his classmates and suitemates told the media.  He doesn't talk to anyone and he doesn't made any eye contact to anybody.  He prefers to sit alone in his classrooms and he's definitely &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;antisocial&lt;/span&gt;.  As what the expert said, he is a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;paranoid schizophrenic&lt;/span&gt;.  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Schizophrenia&lt;/span&gt; involves a specific type of disordered thinking and behavior while &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;paranoia&lt;/span&gt; is a psychotic disorder characterized by delusions of persecution with or without grandeur, often strenuously defended with apparent logic and reason.  As what the police investigations yielded Cho's attack is very well planned which means that though this guy is psychotic there is a portion on his brain that's functioning well and that is the belief that he's deed is rational because he was driven by false belief which is triggered by  unexpressed rage or anger.  Cho's judgments pertaining to the reality of external events are significantly impaired and he definitely took the liesure of savoring his bizarre deed by going back to the victims again (after the first set of shootout) and shot them several times.  Extreme rage is beyond the issue already.  The only word that anyone can coin is he already became a MONSTER. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;A monster in a very young 23-year old mind driven by hidden desires to put revenge of his &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;unknown humiliating experiences&lt;/span&gt;, and whatever they are the only sure thing is:  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;NO ONE has helped him cope with his problems&lt;/span&gt;...as what the report said, he was extremely bullied way back highschool.  This shows that he had been suffering from a severe social problem for several years.  His mind had stopped maturing.  He's an &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;immature&lt;/span&gt; individual who failed to cope up with the basic anonymity in life.  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;He hadn't coped up that's why he EXPLODED and he brought along 32 innocent lives with him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Crime &lt;/span&gt;is one of the harshest facts in life.  The only thing to do is to SOLVE it...to search for some relevant clues to get the cause of it and by doing so we can prevent it from happening again.  We may HATE this man because of his senseless &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hw"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;debauchery and what he did is UNFORGIVABLE and beyond reason, but then, I guess what he did is a CRY for help (not for him but for the other human beings out there who are also experiencing and suffering his own dilemma) but it's just too late...33 lives are lost and it gives the whole world a lesson: TO TAKE CARE and GIVE IMPORTANCE OF and TO EACH OTHER...why? because I guess this MAN never felt being ACCEPTED at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" class="hw" &gt;~eod~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18495510-8899846316737265080?l=empressofdrac.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/InTheSarcophagusOfAnImmortal/~4/nJOgcLihxDI" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/feeds/8899846316737265080/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18495510&amp;postID=8899846316737265080&amp;isPopup=true" title="3 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18495510/posts/default/8899846316737265080" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18495510/posts/default/8899846316737265080" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/InTheSarcophagusOfAnImmortal/~3/nJOgcLihxDI/seung-cho-is-paranoid-schizophrenic.html" title="Seung Cho is a Paranoid Schizophrenic..." /><author><name>Empress_Of_Drac</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="13903912726776644667" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KdLmafWLinQ/RimV8tpEUoI/AAAAAAAAAT4/X2dIoZjrNT0/s72-c/gal.10.cho.nbc.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">3</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://empressofdrac.blogspot.com/2007/04/seung-cho-is-paranoid-schizophrenic.html</feedburner:origLink></entry></feed>
