- Okay, the title just cracks me up. Virginity...heh...
(I think I need a better smiley for this.)
- I was planning on attending an anime convention held in the city on October 31 '08. It would have been my first-ever anime convention. (Yes, people. I have NEVER, EVER attended an anime convention, simply becuase there's not too many out there that I can easily access.) Unfortunately, I just learned today that the anime convention was re-scheduled to --- crap --- OCTOBER 25. And since it's already 12 AM Sunday at this very moment, that means the convention's almost over. Noooooo!!!!!!
- Many people have been submitting fanwords for the Halloween Writer's Jam. I'm preparing myself to submit my entries in the next few days. My first entry is an essay that's already finished, and I plan to submit it at the right time. The other is a story that I still have to finish, and I plan to submit it before I submit the essay. Hopefully, things will follow as planned. If not, then I'll be satisfied to have submitted that essay alone.
- Last Tuesday was an enrollment. Due to the new Internet-dependent system of enrollment, the process was so freaking slow. To make things short, system was so slow, both enrollers and enrollees were really pissed off at the slow pace, and we accomplished everything by nighttime (when the system became fast already). Still, the system had some other glitches that has affected my class schedule, and so I need to go back to school in Monday to settle those glitches. Sigh...
- Have any of you seen my new avatar? Isn't it cute? Credit goes to the Otaku Avatar Maker. You should try it yourself.
- And that wraps up my post. Till next time. HAVE A NICE DAY!

Anime: Major. Taken from Fansub.tv. Owned by respective owners.
I've uploaded a new avatar yesterday, but my computer is still showing my Conan avatar. If ever you see my avatar (probably in my Portfolio page), could you please tell me how it looks like? Is it still Conan or is it different already?
Not too long ago, I mentioned in this post how my World got over 8000 hits in six months. Exactly a week later, my World got 9000 hits. It was that fast. When you consider the number of comments that my World gets in every post, I can't help but wonder where these visits are coming from.
I'm starting to like the anime series Major. The series centers on Goro Honda, a boy who aspires to become a baseball player like his father and plays for the Little League Baseball. As the series progresses, Goro continues to pursue that dream during his teenage and young adult years. I'm no fan of baseball so I wasn't attracted to this series in the beginning. But later on, the story of this series and the character's profiles caught my attention, and it really got me interested. Not to mention the fact that I also enjoyed listening its opening theme songs. (P.S. This show is being broadcasted on a local cable network here, so I watch it directly on TV.)
It's really odd that a guy like me who regards sports as his weakness would enjoy watching sports-oriented anime series. Aside from Major (baseball), there was also Hajime no Ippo (boxing) and Eyeshield 21 (American football). And yet, I didn't like Baki the Grappler and Ultimate Muscle even though it focused on wrestling, which is one sport I enjoy watching.
While going home yesterday after attending an appointment with my classmates for our class project, a couple of kids went inside the jeepney I was riding and started to sing Christmas tunes. That officially reminded that it's Christmas season already. By the way, Christmas season in the Philippines doesn't begin on December 24. It begins on September, the first of the four "-ber" months.
On October 18, I'm going to be spending my 5th year of existence in this site. (Normally I would say "the 5th anniversary of my myOtaku", but my myOtaku is semi-retired already.) So I plan on posting a weekly fanword as part of my celebration. Hopefully, the plan pushes through.
By the way, the title of today's post is a quote from Major.
That's all for today. HAVE A NICE DAY!
