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!
I got to watch Michael Jackson's This Is It on Wednesday night. Truly a great experience, since it gave me a wonderful glimpse of what was supposed to be the This Is It concerts.
I was amazed at what was being planned for the concerts. From the bulldozer and tragic mini-film in "Earth Song" to the 1940s-style mini-film for "Smooth Criminal" to the actual performances of the songs ("I'll Be There", "They Don't Care About Us", "Billie Jean", "Man in the Mirror", etc.), it was just so wonderful. Michael didn't perform at his very best, which I understood anyway since he was saving it for the actual thing. And that's why it's also so sad --- this plan would never be materialized because the star has left the world.
I gotta say that this film gave me some closure on Michael Jackson's death, though it's still sad to see that Jackson will never be able to perform the actual concert. It would have been so beautiful and so spectacular. Still, one can't help but be happy because of the display of greatness from the King of Pop.

On other stuff, I do hope some of you can also take on the task of posting news in theOtaku. These past days seem so uneventful in the news nuggets section, so I hope some of you can post some newsworthy stuff there.
Also, I'll be looking for a new place to have my internship in human resources. For now, I have to make my application letter and resume first.
That's all for today. HAVE A NICE DAY.
