1. Currently listening to Thriller by Michael Jackson. The perfect song to get me in the mood for this Halloween post.
2. I'm well aware that today is Halloween, but for some reason I don't really feel it. Probably because I'm already old, or probably because it was never that much of a tradition here in the first place.
3. Tomorrow, we go to the cemetery to pay our respects for our deceased relatives. Compared to Halloween, this is a tradition that we Filipinos certainly practice in this time of the year.
4. Shameless plug: In Memory of the Dead Bloggers. It's my article from last year's Halloween Writer's Jam. Though it didn't win, it was still a very special essay for the Halloween season.
5. It's Saturday, and the news nuggets section still ain't full of news for this week. Heck, most (if not, all) of the news for this week barely mentions anime. I guess this week is one of those slow news week.
6. I'm going back to school next week, in what will hopefully be my final semester in college --- at least, for the Psychology academic program. Oh boy...
7. Why ain't I too excited for the upcoming semester: (1) The darn thesis; (2) The darn internship, and the darn ongoing search for a company with a human resources department to work in; (3) The darn re-take of my Abnormal Psychology course
8. Oh freaking golly!!! I just realized I need to pre-register for the cosplay event in December! Must pre-register before this day is over!
9. After 6 minutes: Okay, I've sent the pre-registration thru e-mail. I'm not really sure if I'm gonna participate in the actual day of the activity, especially due to my Saturday classes. But hey, they did say I can back out later.
10. "The Mask, what will you even cosplay on that day anyway?" That's a secret. You may already have ideas right now, but the reason I'm keeping my mouth shut is because of the skit that I have already planned on doing. So, sorry. 
That's all for today. HAVE A NICE DAY!

1. This is it. Here I am. I've come back in my World, I feel grand.
2. Well, it's been a long time since I've posted something in the Cafe. Hopefully, everyone's doing well.
3. As you can see in the picture above, I'm gonna watch Michael Jackson's This Is It at a nearby theater. I'm really excited and looking forward to seeing it and having a glimpse of the King of Pop do his thing one last time.
4. There's a reason why it took me so long to post here. I failed to do well in one of my courses, that being Abnormal Psychology, so I needed the time to calm myself down and do some personal reflection.
5. This was my first time to suffer such a fate in a subject in school. If I may borrow a few words from the Michael Jackson song Stranger in Moscow, it really felt like a "swift and sudden fall from grace". I'm so glad I've settled these things already.
6. Ah, sleep. So simple yet so powerful. Who would've thought a simple 2-hour nap in my school would be the key to putting an end to the misery that I've felt when I suffered that fate in that subject in school?
7. I went to an anime/game/comic/hobbies convention recently held inside a mall in the city. Not exactly a very memorable experience for me, since it was below my expectations. Good job on the effort, though.
8. Why wasn't it memorable? Venue was small. Booths could be barely seen since it was covered by the crowd. There were exhibits for breast cancer from a different organization which, I believe, affected the venue and the booths.
9. Cosplay was okay, though there were missed opportunities. Two groups did an anime parody and a song number on stage, which could've worked if only they utilized a mic or pre-recorded audio. Also, some cosplayers didn't know much about who they were cosplaying, which affected their presentation.
10. I'm having plans on doing a cosplay in the near future. However, I need to clear out a few things before I do that. And yeah, the first item was inspired from the "This is It" single.
'Till next time everyone. Have a nice day!
