the last two exams over and done with, a research presentation proposal in the bag, and a few drama/senti moments with the class right after, involving a heartwarming trp composition and yet another departing doctor's farewell tribute, and it's practically over. the first sem, i mean. and thus it begins.

with all my talk of advance reading and exercise and all that scheduling crap, all plans must now crumble and be blown away as if dust in the wind, in the light of this amazing masterpiece of a game.


ff xii. not just in japanese anymore.

and just in time too, since i now officially have more or less a month to burn, doing nothing better with my days than gluing my eyes to my tv screen and bashing buttons away in true real-time-action-rpg form. and if you know me and my gaming habits any, you'd know that a month would hardly suffice to appease my insatiable oc-ness when it comes to my ps2 save files.

then again, i would similarly drop near everything for a chance to dance, even if i have to commute from qc to manila back and forth almost everyday. and that's another innate beast stifled and fed, with the trp class opening number training coming at us daily 1-4, and regular rhythmics sessions as well, not just for our trp presentation but to start on the concert repertoire. maybe there is a chance to become buff this break after all, or at least harden my abs just a bit. the thought of all that physical activity just tickles my fancy, wanting to start as soon as possible.

and so the challenge begins. between the hypnotic pull of my brand new game just waiting to be consumed in hours and hours of role-playing galore and the feed-forward endorphin rush i'm feeling from just thinking about all that dance, much more actually doing it, this sem break is going to be one gigantic blur from one thing to the other, myself hardly knowing how i'm possibly going to cope with it. nice way to get some rest and relaxation, wouldn't you say?

but then again, if i'm just going to be showered with so many blessings in such an infinitessimal amount of time, my oh-so-greedy self has nothing else to do but to take it all in, figuring out exactly how later on. as it's said, where there's a will, there's a way, and i intend to make this break count for as much as it possibly can. and even if i burn myself out trying, i know it's still all going to be a blast, just because i'll be enjoying the plain rush of it all.

oh yeah, it's on now.
