Adam just released a new feature to us... well, actually got us to beta-test. More like check it out.
If you guys have not noticed it yet... oh, by now, I hope you do... there's a ranking in our worlds now. Here.
I'm amazed that my main world is doing fairly well. How did your world go? I saw mine in the 7th page... Not bad... not bad at all.
Thanks everyone for visiting! ^^

Well, I haven't been updating for a while... blame my lazy bones. I don't really feel like updating much. Anyway...
The final exams are on their way. I just had an exam for one of my subjects last Sunday. I was not expecting a "discuss this topic" type of exam. I thought it would be a computation kind. I was expecting that. Bah! I did not read the theories. Actually, I did not study for it. The advantage of taking up a master's degree in a related field is that there are some subjects that would serve as a review for previously taken subjects.
It just so happen that this subject was a few topics in our board subject. It was hammered in my brain until I was bored with it. I was speaking more of the computations... So the exam took me by surprise. I had to think of very related stuff or something to those terms that were not too familiar to me. I'll pass... at least... hehehe... ^^
Now, I need to device a questionnaire for my research subject... I'm sort of stuck.
Well, see you around.

Don't mind the title... I was just contemplating on some troubles I have right now - with my "really old" printer dying out on me, just when I was saving for a laptop... Bummer. I was planning to buy a new printer some time after I have a new laptop. I need the laptop more than the printer at that time - for school presentations and also to serve as an upgrade to the computer equipment at home. This will probably set me back some more... dang...
Anyway, I got my first fanword approved! Wohoo! Thanks to Shinmaru who edited it, it is now in the Books of Moe World. I have made some works in the past, though none of them have made it to the front page - or at least have made it to the front page with me noticing... hehehe...
Weekend classes was boring, and I am slowly losing my motivation to attend. It's almost the end of the semester so, although it is troublesome, I have to pull myself together. The trouble with this one though is that the finals are just around the corner.
Man, this is annoying. I offered my skills to make a front cover for our company's annual report. I did not want to make the layout and stuff for the other parts, even though I can, because my work at the moment is loaded.
After I finished the cover, because I want it to be cool-looking, and probably have something added to my portfolio - hehehe... The person in-charge asked me to edit some pictures. Then later, after I did, she next asked me to lay the pictures out on a page... WTF? Then later, more images were sent to me for "fixing" and then the day was up and most of the stuff I need to finish was not done. *Shakes fist* It would have been cool if I was actually paid for my services, but no... freeloaders...
This made me feel better, anyway. ^_^
See you around!

It's not easy as it looks in Harvest Moon...
My hands are all hurting and some parts are sort of watery inside and blistered... they're going to be calloused in a while...
My father was out yesterday morning. One of his friends told me that there are some students performing a community extension service today. They will be giving out free vitamins for the cows.
Since dad was out, I had no choice but to be the one to head out. We only have a few cows grazing in a field that it somewhere behind our house. I don't even know exactly which is ours, so I had to ask around.
I managed to identify all four of them. The task of pulling them to a tree so the injections could be done is a bit hard. Mainly because they don't recognize me. The cows probably thought I was a thief or something... hehehe...
Anyway, the two bulls were the biggest pain in the butt. The younger one was just stubborn and didn't want to move. It took a lot of pulling on my part to make him follow me. Though he would suddenly stop walking and just resisted... Then, I'll have to pull again to encourage it to move...
The last bull, being a bit older, got a lot of fight in him. He didn't want to be pulled around, every time I would come close, he'll snort and lower his head. Apparently, the veterinary students also know how to do some rodeo thing, so they tied up the bull with a few ropes and forced it to lie down. It wasn't an easy task. It took a lot of time. I myself suffered from a rope burn on my left hand when I was pulling it and it suddenly ran away. I tried to let go of the rope but I was not fast enough. A small patch of skin got torn. Owww...
Anyway, the other two, which was a calf and its mother, was easier. However, I don't know why, but it seems the students were very eager to go cow wrangling or something, because they went and made the calf to lie down on its back. It would have been easier and less traumatizing for the little thing if they just tied it to the nearby pole...
Well, anyway, that's done. I was pretty exhausted from all the pulling and guiding the cows, and also my hands are a bit painful. There are some sore spots and some scratches on my arm.
I haven't done this type of job in a while. Was it fun? Sort of...
Let's just say that you shouldn't be fooled by Harvest Moon when it comes to animal husbandry, OK?
See you around!
