Muli na naman akong sinipag mag-upload at mag-0submit ng mga replay tapes upang mapatawan ng parusa ang mga nahuli kong cheaters. Bale since end of May ko pa naipon sa hard disk ang mga replay tapes (worth 30+ MB silang lahat). Buti na lang bago mag-brownout, na-edit (at na-archive) ko lahat ng files, at heto nasa Vicas ako nagsu-surf.

Nahuli si flashyHearT naggi-glitch!

( Glitch tapes waiting for download! )

Oh well, karamihan pa naman sa mga nahuli ko e mga 1st Lirutenant at Captain; may iilang Major rank pa akong nahuli, harhar!

Yep, replay tapes again... It's really amusing whenever I catch a cheater while playing Special Force -- I turn into bastard mode (trash talking, raging AK74/M4A1 or whatever assault gun), and for many times their game miserably fails.

For viewing pleasure, I've uploaded some replay tapes of recently caught glitchers cheating through the game... (Already reported 'em all, nyehehehe...)

Huling huli sa spy camera ng Imbestigador... Hahaha

( Here are the clickies... )

In a span of few days, andami ko na namang nahuling mga glitcher sa Special Force (na pawang mga tanga dahil 'di nila alam nagsasayang sila ng panahon magpa-rank). Anyways, in-upload ko pa 'yung tapes for free download (for viewing pleasure hehe), and reference na rin...

( Download the gay-ass replay files here. Screenshot included. )

Karamihan sa mga sinend ko ay na-banned na agad ng GM (ambilis na ng aksyon ngayon huh!), kaya kudos sa kanila for the good job. Wheeeew, excited na ako sa mga bagong patch na lalabas~ (new maps, weapons, items at kung anu-ano pa!)

Habang tumatagal, 'di lang dumadami ang mga cheaters; lalo pang tumitindi. Kung anu-ano na yatang hack programs ang ginagamit nila (na I guess C++ ang ginamit) para lang makapandaya. Katulad nito:

( More screens of this )

Anyways, madami-dami na rin ang naiipon kong glitch tapes (nakakapagod mag-submit!); and the banned list goes on. Kulang na lang maging GM ako eh!

Kung may isang bagay na pinaka-kinaaayawan ko sa Special Force (bukod sa mga quitters), ay ang mga glitchers. Mga bading kung maglaro, takot kasi mapatay ng mga naglalaro ng patas.

( FAQ: Ano po ang gitching? )

( FAQ: So papaano po manghuli at mag-report ng glitcher? )

So far, walo na ang nahuli kong glitcher, at na-send ko na ang mga replay tapes, hehehe... In-upload ko pa for free download, for viewing pleasure. (Instant plugging pa ang mga kolokoy sa blog ko, heheh...)

( Download the glitcher tapes )

Kaya hayun, ingat ingat na lang kayong mga glitcher bading, at baka malagay pa kayo sa listahan ng mga maduduga! XD

Unlucky Start

Woke up early in the morning; doon ko pa lang pinalitan 'yung strings ng acoustic ni Rainey for later afternoon's affair. That morning naka-chat ko pa si Milcah (teh vocalisht), and suggested another song to play; so ayun biglaan kong sinipra 'yung sinuggest kong song (one of my personal favorites kasi)...

Then left home around 12:30pm na, decided to take the longer, but supoosedly faster route to school, pero minalas pa rin sa biyahe. Sobrang daming delays -- mula sa pila ng jeep sa Shelter, sa heavy traffic, etc etc... Pero ayun, nakarating naman past 3pm.

Web I.T. General Assembly Thingie

Pagdating sa campus, nandoon naghihintay sa labas si Alvin, kasama ang isa pang ka-org namin (na kabanda din niya). Jam-jam lang kami saglit around benches sa labas, then pumasok na kami.

We decided to occupy a vacant room sa 6th floor Annex building -- doon nakatambay na pala si Milcah, kasama ang friend niyang si Nash. So there we practiced -- medyo nagkakahiyaan pa sa una (lalo na nung dumating si Anne), pero kwentuhan kantahan mode kaming lahat, kaya ayun naging okay na din.

Then dumerecho na kami sa venue ng event sa Technology building, and before 6pm na kami nakapasok, and nag-strt ang program. Dahil malamigsa loob, syempre unti-unting lumamig ang kamay ko. T___T After an hour, saka kami tumugtog.

We acoustically played a couple of songs - "True Colors" (the MYMP rendition) and "Cry" (by Mandy Moore -- the personal favorite). Fortunately, hindi gaano halata 'yung mga sabit ko, and Milcah gave out her best,kaya ayun pinalakpakan naman kami. Whew!

Afterwards, agad na rin kaming umalis -- nakakahiya pa nga, inabot pa kami ng free food pagkalabas, at nagpasalamat sila sa pagtugtog namin... ;p~ Then nung uwian, sinamahan ko pa si Nash pasakay ng jeep, then agad na rin ako sumakay ng Proj. 8 jeep.

BTW, here are some pics~ (crappy quality, gomen...)

With Rainey

Around 8pm na akong nakarating ng Road 20 (again, due to heavy traffic) -- sa labas ng McDo naghihintay si Rainey. At dahil pareho kaming gutom, kumain lang kami sa malapit na carinderia; doon na rin kami nagpalipas ng oras sandali sa kwentuhan stuffs. :)

Then lakad trip ulit papunta sa AMACU area... Sinamahan siya past her dorm, then agad na rin ako bumiyahe pauwi (dahil groggy na ako). During biyahe sa bus, hindi ko nagawang umidlip, dahil may baklang nagtatalak na parang palengkera -- sobrang pampam lalo na nung nasa Quirino Highway death metal trapik area kami... Sarap gulpihin at patayin sa saksak. >___<

Got home around 11pm na, pero nagawa ko pang magpuyat sa internet, heheh...

Two Days Ago.

Woke up a bit late, but quite enough for my EADMATH class... Just had seatwork (a tough one), announced our next quiz for next meeting. Then at EFLUMEC -- just a normal lecture day; also got my results from the previous quiz -- a total flop! T___T And at EBAMENG, just had a quiz (a bit easy, but wasn't able to answer an item); and yet another problem set due next week. During the time, Rainey wasn't able to text me, due to low credits on her mobile phone.

Also, her ex initially texted me (while I was at school)...

"Tol, pagpapaalam ku lng ah, date kami ngaun ni raine, ok lng??"

I replied that it would be alright, knowing that he knows the limits; plus, I thanked him for what they did for Rainey last Sunday. Later on, Rainey told me (yeah, a single text message) that she and her barkada are goin' out; and we might not meet at all for that day... so I went home early, around 5pm; slept a bit until before 8pm...

As I woke up, I discovered that freakin' ex's reply to my text -- that dude sent me this insulting message:

"Dnt worry tol. d ku gagawin ung "gnawa" mu nung girfrien ku pa si raine., may Respeto ako., oki., dnt worry., ^_^"

Which [reading between the lines] means I didn't have any respect at all... And yeah, cool thing to bring up the past, eh. I'd thought you just said to Rainey that you wanted to be my friend. Anyways...

To you, you bitter son-of-a-bitch:

First things first: stop calling me tol, 'coz I ain't your brother, nor your keeper, asshole.

Second: I don't have any respect for you, tangina mo. I've kept my patience a long time ago -- I still remembered your text looong time ago -- that stupid threat of yours. Then when I joined your band practice weeks ago, I tried to mingle much with you; but didn't felt any warmth. I just simply disregarded that. But I'm all support for your band, especially to Michael and Jon -- no Orocans nor Monoblocs (get it?); I'd kinda thought I shouldn't have been there at all. Fuck you.

Then the message. You're such a bitter faggot, motherfucker. I'm confident enough to say you don't have enough balls at all; proven long time ago, from your previous statements. Grow up, loser.

If you want, let's settle this straight once and for all, face to face, as soon as possible. Kaya kitang patumbahin, ungas.

Hafta cool down....... There. So around 9pm when me and Rainey got in touch again, told her about those things, discussed matters. We ended up with a toxic mind; and she took a nap early (due to her exhaustion, and thoughts). While I didn't get enough sleep at all -- spent my time surfing (amusing myself) overnight.

Then late night, I discovered this thread while browsing PhilMusic forums... Yet another GAS attack for that Fernando Neck!

¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤

Yesterday.

Didn't ate my breakfast, because I woke up late in the morning -- past 6am! (By that time, I should've left already.) Rushed towards school, yet I was caught in the rain on the way; still, I made it to my ELEMFLD class.

Obviously, we didn't performed any fieldworks, because of the damn rains; instead, we solved for problems in our field manual... Tons of computations, and fortunately they were relatively easy. We were dismissed 30 minutes early -- beacuse the school just then announced the suspension of classes! (Great...)

So then I decided to head for Sta. Mesa, but I was trapped in heavy traffic. Before reaching Pureza, I jumped out of the jeepney; then later on, I discovered that the Pureza area was submerged in deep floods; hence the motorists (especially the 'low' ones) weren't moving. Luckily, I hitched in a jeepney that bravely crossed the floods. (I was able to get some pics of the flood, but I can't transfer it from my mobile phone.)

[EDIT] Finally, retrieved these baha pics from my cellphone...

Shushu wawa, 'di makatawid papuntang PUP 'yung mga private cars...

"Boy, baka mahulog 'yang cellphone mo, sayang naman...!"

I just wanna be on the beach...! XD~

I met up with numero_unoh's brother in the nearby Jollibee store (across SM Centerpoint), for that Fernando guitar neck (a strat copy one) worth 1.5K pesos.A 21-fret maple one with a rosewood fretboard, and medium frets. Mmmmm.

Then I headed to my Ate's place, had lunch there. My nieces were as energetic as always, but didn't played with them, because I was sleepy that time; so I slept for about an hour. Then when I woke up, the two then were the ones sleepin'... Left there around 4:30pm, and headed to Road 20 (Proj. 8).

Me and Rainey met again at McDo -- talked 'bout stuffs, personal matters (especially what happened a day before -- you'll find out later...), emotional talks, and story-tellings. Though we didn't ate there, we bought stuffs outside after staying there past 7pm... Then we met Xeng while inside the Mercury Drug; and finally I accompanied them until their trike ride back to their dorm, and I headed home.

Arrived early, around 9pm. On my way home, my girlfriend's ex keeps on buggin' me with his annoying text messages. Didn't gave a damn, of course.

With excitement, I checked my newly-acquired Fernando neck to Totchi's body...

Not bad, the neck slot was a bit loose -- I think this calls for another Elegee guitar surgery; but first, I have to sand down the body, for repainting issues. Yeah, my hopes arisen again -- hope for that trash-quality guitar to become usable again,and oh yeah, killer sounding! (Harhar!)

¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤

Another thing to worry about.

I previously posted (way many months ago; or maybe last year?) that I kinda felt some symptoms of CTS (Carpal Tunnel Shit)... Awhile ago, I came across this thread; and read that Paul Gilbert (guitarist of Racer X, ex. Mr. Big) is suffering from a thing called Tinnitus. Moments later, I found this in the ever-reliable Wikipedia...

( Tinnitus )

Oh well, true, I've been hearing that ringing sound everytime I hear no sounds around me~ (Really, total silence.) I think this is just kinda normal to an average gigster like me; but hearing loss is what I've been worrying about. Damn, gotta find my good ol' earplugs that I've bought long time ago...

So friends, while we're still young, take good care of your ears. Lower down that MP3 player. Level that amplifier during rehearsals. Do yourself a favor and buy a pair of earplugs.

Try to read this shit...

According to this webpage, "these 7 Columbian youths were taken by Jesus Christ and shown Heaven and Hell. Hear their account of the Glories of Heaven and misery of Hell".

Heck, even John Lennon was mentioned here.

( Revelations of Heaven and Hell to 7 Columbian Youths )

Sounds credible?

»» My freakin' ankle still hurts. Good thing, the swelling went better after that hot/cold compress, and it doesn't hurt that much compared nung kagabi.

»» I'm not sure if I'm gonna make it for Rtschrck's practice later, due to my injury, and rendezvous with Rainey. I was thinking I should still go and tag her along as well, but I can't bring heavy loads for now (can't carry my axe and everything along journey), and might worsen the condition... T___T

»» Speaking of Rainey: mabuti at nakapag-usap kami kanina online; eventually nakuha ko sa kanya ang mga captured pics kahapon, so yay!

( A Few Yesterday's Pix Galore )

»» Spent the day sleeping; then pagkagising, panay gitara ko naman. Damn, nahihirapan akong makapag-isip ng bagong compo...

»» Well, "thanks" din sa kapitbahay namin sa kanto, because since morning nag-iinuman sila -- so panay videoke nila, at tugtog ng band (yeah, kumpleto sila ng equipments), playin' mainstream rock ng walang humpay. May binyag kasi, kaya ayun, celebrate! Mabuti at maaga silang natapos~ (I was expecting na magdamag ng madaling araw sila mag-iingay.)

»» Nakausap ko ang ate ko kanina, and yeah no signs of my dad sa kanya as well. Until now, hindi ko alam kung saang lupalop na nagpunta ang tatay namin. =___=!

»» Kinda annoyed with my PC -- recently, my Y!M has been showing that 'Script Error' box, and popping up ads sa Mozilla Firefox many, many times. ~___~;

»» Talo si Pacquiao sa halalan (officially). Beh, bote nga~! Peace!!!

»» I had a silly dream again...! (I'll narrate it as short as possible!)

( HS Reunion? )

»» I hafta wake up very, very early before sunrise mamaya.

3 inuman sessions in 4 nights!

Kagabi, nakipag-inuman ako with fellow Nana Shi bandmates Julius and mike5150 sa place ng huli~ The usual hard stuffs pa rin -- GranMa chaka gin bilog, samahan ng masasarap na pulutan; and syempre, usapang music -- 'di na kami updated sa mga chismax e... (Haaay, nami-miss na naming tumugtog ulit ng pop stuffs like Do as Infinity...)

Then kinaumagahan (mga 6am), nagtungo na ako sa bahay ng ate ko (dahil sa PSone stuffs), bumawi onti ng tulog, and inner family talks na naman ulit; may problema na naman kasi siya~ (Nakakaasar, kamag-anak pa 'yung nanggugulo sa buhay ng ate ko.) 'Di na ako nagkaroon ng time makipaglaro sa kambals, dahil aalis pala sila papuntang Tagaytay (at syempre, me amatsh pa ako LOL).

Some realizations/thoughts

»» I have another set of guitar heroes para mapagkunan ng inspirations...

Dimebag Darrell (Pantera/Damageplan)

Scott Ian (Anthrax/S.O.D. [Stormtroopers Of Death])

Hinawaan din ako ni mike5150 ng S.O.D. music~ Lately ko lang na-realize kung gaano ka-lufet nitong mga 'to, not only talent-wise or "heavy"-wise, pati sa attitude... XD

»» Wala pa akong naiisip na ipopondo para sa FF event ni minireia, until na maisip namin (habang inuman) na i-rehash 'yung dating pondos nung Ongaku Fusion. Yay!

»» Parang bigla na lang nagbago ang feelings ko towards sa isang palihim na crush ko; now I think of her as a sister -- at lalo akong nai-inspire sa kanya para magpursiging maging better as a whole person. (Naks!) Well, epektib talaga ang inuman sessions. ;p

»» I got interested sa guitar instumental compilation plan nina mike5150 and kr_inuki. Pag-uwi ko, parang gusto kong magsulat ng kanta ulit. Oks lang kahit 'di teknikal or virtuoso shit; gagawin kong mabideath (mabigat na death!) LOL!

»» Nasabi ng ate ko, confirmed na "homo" yung ex-parish priest namin (my former home doon sa [south] Caloocan)... Nauubos ang pera nung pari sa lalaki niya (na ex-live-in partner ng neighborhood friend naming bitch babae). Recently ko lang nalaman. Eeewww.

»» [EDIT] Ayaw magload ng LiveJournal sa mga DSL-powered internet cafes na napuntahan ko (even Netopia!) O___O Weird! P^+@%#$*@...

Ups & Downs sa School

Mga 'downs' muna... Hayy, nakakaasar 'yung presentation namin nung TECHRYT (Technical Writing)!

Pagkadating ko sa school, nakita kong nakatambay sa labas 'yung mga ka-grupo ko; 'di sila pumasok sa room, at hinihintay pala nila ako (dahil nasa akin yung only copy nung document -- sa USB na pinahiram sa 'kin...) So then nagpasama naman sila sa 'kin dahil mage-edit pa daw (!?) sila nung documentations (ANOBAYAN!!!) -- I had no choice but to tag along.

So past an hour late na kami pumasok sa classroom; at saktong nainis 'yung prof sa min, as in halatang wala na naman sa mood ang bakla -- that time kasi nagkaka-problems ang ibang group, dahil na-corrupt 'yung PowerPoint file nila. ~___~

Then it was our turn to present, pero sangkatutak na pang-ookray talaga ang ginawa sa 'min~ (Wala nga sa mood kasi! Puta.) The "evil" end screen didn't helped as well; Nakakaasar talaga, parang may PMS talaga yung baklang 'yun, at kami ang pinag-initan.

Tangna, yari na pag bumagsak ako...

Now for the 'ups'... We had out final quiz sa EDIEQUA (Differential Equations); Lo and behold, nadalian ako, and I'm confident with my answers~ (Yay!) Tapos sa ENMECH2 (Engineering Mechanics - Part 2), mataas 'yung quiz results namin! Then our prof said na dapat may seatworks pa kami, pero dahil patapos na 'yung term, ibo-bonus na lang niya, pandagdag sa grades namin~ (Yay ulit!)

And 2 araw lang ang exams ko: this coming Saturday, and Tuesday. (Wala nang meetings sa Monday, so yay talaga!)

¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤

Quiz/Meme time~ (again)

Stole this from juworu... (Makiki-uso na naman! Nyehehe)

OOWWSS, wushuuu! Yeah right~! Is this really possible?

¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤

Random Thoughts Portion

»» Since last week, I've been eating oatmeal for breakfast. I'm really damn concerned about my health, especially when I found out that my blood pressure's way too high. And I've been eating lots of fruits (especially apples and BANANAS.) Sana naman bumaba na ang BP ko, para pwede na ulit uminom! T___T

»» My [left-side] face is gettin' better, but I need to get back to Ospital ng Maynila and have my CT scans and my injury re-examined, and get the proper medication and stuffs.

»» I had another stupid dream again!

( ... )

»» Uuwi na pala sa 22 sina yuffchan, yay! Then sa 22 I'll be joining 3daytrial's Chirstmas parteh! (BTW, I should buy some gift for the kringle thingie...) Tapos balak din namin Rtschrck mag-celebrate sa 22! Nyahaha, I'll be busier than I've thought~ (Lakwatsa-wise, heheh!)

[EDIT] Amfofo, nung 14 pala anniv ng banda namin! Hoyyy magpainom naman kayo sa 22!!!

»» Finally had my GAS Attack planned; Listed the things I'll be needing, and budgeted everything for next year. Pero dapat mag-ipon na ako para sa pa-customize ng guitar. T___T

Tapos nakakaasar 'yung ibang nagbebenta sa PhilMusic (I won't mention usernames, though); I had the other day experience na na-PM niya ako dahil interested ako sa pedal niya, and indicated the price. Nung nag-confirm ako thru text, biglang tataasan ng presyo. Badtrip talaga 'yang mga mukhang pera...

»» I am [fortunately] accepted by Himitsu Heiki to session with them for December 19 gig -- it's the ABS-CBN Christmas party thingie Eric Go mentioned few days ago. And yeah, I'll be using Cliff before the year ends! XD~~~ Good luck to us, also 3daytrial (and possibly, New Fallen Snow) -- they will also perform there! :)
