A bit about heroism

The Boss Left me in charge ! Holy Crap! An honor and its freaking scraring me. Spanish Loyalist Filipino Historians . I'm surprised by the amount of Spanish Loyalist Filipino History Buffs.... Really I'm freaking surprised.

Gen. Otis is such an ass . "...stumbled on it while I was researching. Knowing how many atrocities they committed on Indians, I don't think doing the same to Filipinos come with a second thought. Its not like we had a history of genocide. Otis is such a dick, wish I can go back in time with what i know in science, warfare and history and whip up some indios to kick their ass with masterful guerrilla warfare. Go mongolian on his ass." reading up on Concentration Camps in Marinduque during the Fil American War kinda makes my blood boil. I wish we were a little bit more "evil" that we had war mongers who could lead us to kick more ass. Don't expect a reformist to win you a way, expect the butcher to do his job better than the dabbler. Difference Between Geeks and Nerds .

ITs MATHEMATICAL!... I mean its AWESOME!!! You Medieval History Buffs, GET IT!

I woke up to the Screams of engines and tires. I slept at 11 and that was pretty early, but not early enough since some JERKS were practicing their drifting as early as 5AM in the virra mall parking lot. I swear, I wanted to get my airsoft gun and SHOOT their assess off! Damn it, the contest wasnt even till the afternoon. Those people could have just waited to till after 8! F*ckers. I feel like generalizing but WHO drag races and drifts in the philippines? I mean I bet they are sons of corrupt politicians, military men or political dynasties who have nothing better to do with their time than pursue a 1st world middle class preoccupation with CARS! I mean you have to be a spoiled brat to be in that f*cking sh*t. Seriously, when do you find a good natured, hard working, chap in an ELITIST sport of drag racing? Its a waste of resources, ESPECIALLY in an Oil/Environmental/Economic crisis! All I can imagine are a bunch of insecure/spoiled/ADD/Kids or immature spoiled brats showing how i...

This is pretty cool, wish it was made into a series or I could make one for mahadlika.

Planning to Get it installed in the Ubuntu Desktop . The instructions are here .

I'm GMing? Plans are 2nd week of June or later on... basically I am Running Mahadlika (see link, my mahadlika). Well I have a simple story line in my head... I just have to write down the complications that can happens if anything goes wrong. Feeling . Better, but still coughing. Mahadlika . Well its weird that people all of a sudden had a hankering for a game. its easy to get myself into it since it already one of my passions. I just hope the steam is still there when the time comes to run it.

Suffering from a chemical imbalance . Still a bit dizzy from coughing but much better than yesterday and monday. Back to work and struggling to figure out stuff again.

The doctor told me i could take 3 days off ... but there is work to do :( and I feel bad not being at work to finish my lastest work. Its not like I was able to finish it ahead of schedule. GURPS . well i've reached a new mile stone in my understanding of medieval economy. Mostly the new understanding is seeing the relationship of food prices and wage prices. Its really important to see how the two work in order to use the setting's tools to set wealth levels accurately. Concerning myself with storytelling and helping the player immerse themselves in the world. I find the understanding of the economic mechanism of the a village to be essential in understanding how people thought in the times and what goes on in the most common and basic community found in medieval times. Waiting for chat . I'm here in cyrberzone waiting for chat. I felt good enough to go to the doctor and have the check up, I feel good enough to wait for her. Anyway, i have a jacket and given how sensitive ...

f*cking Hard ! They told me it was hard, I thought it was as hard as learning 3d Max by yourself... but this is F*cking HARD! The forum has a spam filter that makes searches difficult, answers are vague and without any VERY basic elements for laymen, and it seems that threads on the forums are incomplete if not discontinued with no answer.

I didn't go to work today and called in sick . I guess sweating in the MRT and LRT, the extremes of the temperatures in the LRT/MRT and the weather has finally gotten to me. Ubuntu . Its not for the Layman, I have to admit. It can be for the layman, though. Although you need to have a close techie friend who can easily be accessible to fix it up for you, if you are a layman. Otherwise, if you are a dabbling techie like me, good internet is the only requirement. Unfortunately the storm has been making my internet erratic and since I'm not at work, I don't have access to a kick ass bandwidth to download all the programs and do all the research I need. Internet for my ubuntu desk top would be better but I don't have such access yet. things to fix . FONTS, surprisingly there are no core fonts in Open office. Complete Codecs. If Codecs weren't hard enough to find, wait till you have research where to get these. Installing all the Open Source Multi-media programs. Got t...

A long lost song for me that I was always unable to remember and trying to get a copy of.

Quirks . at the point that I'm pretty stressed out that little involuntary quirks are appearing. Cracking my neck more often, talking a little bit aloud to myself as I work. twitching and tapping uncontrollably, while I work. I guess stress level are higher as you become more productive. I'm drawn to joining in the GURPS forum while I work. Reacting and analyzing. Then I keep caluculating certain details of my character and how to best represent a medieval household. Its really weird but i can't help but figure out a way to best simulate these little things even if I'm not running a game. Ahhh to run a game again . that would be fun and de stressing... a bit. then I'll be trying to juggle stuff for me, the game, work, chores and studies i haven't gotten on.

My compulsions . (as you can see in my other blogs) are in reading and research. I can't help the curiousity to see something clearer and clearer for purposes of gaming. As a GM is my job to see the big picture and describe it to my players. In my research about medieval and byzantine lifestyle, i've drawn many comparisons and parallels to modern life. Certain things will always remain the same and a lot of things on the surface changes. For the game experience It really helps to better describe the characters and the world around them. Where they are in the economic ladder says as much about what they do and their motivations. Right now I've indulged in my compulsions because our team leader is not here and I don't have anyone to ask help from dealing with the brick wall I'm hitting. I'm having a head ache from stressing about the two topics: my compulsions and work. Broken MRT . spent P170 (inclusive of tip) on a cab to get to work ASAP fro...

Looking at the real world projects using OGRE 3d, I feel like I should work for them, even for just peanuts just for the training. I'm 29 and I'm doing this NOW?! Well better now than when I have a kid I guess. Expert Daw . My skill level in 3ds Max is full intermediate. It will be a couple of notches before being able to call my self an expert. I'll call myself that when I know how to make my own 3d Animated productions and know how to approach a large variety of 3d projects. I'll be content with Expert and will move on to Learning Blender when my career path focuses more tightly on gaming. I'm surprised how slow I learn... I admit I don't ask our team leader much... he didn't exactly offer but at least he gives us enough time to learn something as we go. I have to admit that I don't think I'd learn it more effectively if I didn't read it for myself and develop my research skills as I did the work. Like the biggest breakthru I had lat...

Dual Boot Linux . It is about time I dual boot to Linux: Ubuntu. Reasons Why I'm going to go Linux . GIMP Blender Open Office and Other Open Source Software Screwed up Sh*t with Windows Vista and Expensive Macs Control Original Software that doesn't leave me broke and cursing how much I spent for it. I will be spending a lot of time being tech proficient and might as well learn the OS for techies. I live in a third world and want to start living a guilt free life when it comes to copyrights. It might be the standard in the Philippines since more and more people and schools are switching to Linux because Windows and Macs are too expensive. It might be the standard to all poorer and more populous countries as well. It is getting more user friendly as time goes by and right now user friendly enough for me.

Poof . My sister is here and I didn't even know untill AVP asked Chat and Chat asked me. Anyway, i'm sure she has a thing set with her barkada and I won't see till two weeks or maybe a day like the last time. Although I'm glad for the Xbox. Tried to Gain catharsis points . Anyway, I'm bored and I suck at MUGEN. We might have a game tomorrow and I'd like that since I don't have any game. GMing despite busy . I'd like to run a simple game if I can find the players interested. I feel unproductive at work because I don't have anything else to enjoy right now. So I need to probably run a game... but i wonder if i can find any players?

friday . will be off work late. 30s of animation for a squirrel. you'll be suprised how hard they are to animate... especially at the required quality level we are performing. Satudray . I think it will also take my saturday, but I'll head to work at around 8 or 9. Still I'll need the time to finish the work. Sardines review . thats all I eat for breakfast, if Dell's feels like making scrambled egg with onions and tomatoes I have a side dish. Otherwise its usually with the morning fried rice. 555 sardines in oil, Hot . Spicy and a bit salty but not as salty as the ??? one. P10.75 Family sardines in oil, easy open can . Sometimes spicy, sometimes a good level of spicy. P18.75 Mega sardines in oil, hot (with chili symbol) . A bit spicy and sometimes not at all. P18.5 ??? sardines in oil, Hot (with chili symbol) . Too salty not spicy at all. P???? Family sardines in tomato sauce with chili added . Not spicy but slightly smaller serving. P9.75 Ligo sardines in oil, Hot and ...

I will be having my saturday at work . I'm learning as I go biped animation and I've been stumbling a lot. Its Wednesday and I expect not to finish on time. It is around 30 something seconds worth of animation that would be looked at close up... so I feel the pressure. Dealing with Clients . Clients are a fickle bunch, they want to make their money go far but want more than what they already negotiated. Our french client was at first satisfied with our progress, then came back on monday to complain about the progress. The Director and the General manager had to pull the contract up and cite the agreement that it would be paid per project and upon successful completion of objectives. We completed the objectives, I just wondered why the client didn't seem to recall the same objectives and was disappointed. I am pretty fearful about the prospect of having to chase people to pay for the work they comissioned. Horror stories from my parents have gotten to me. Especially abou...

Back hurts . Planning to work out, been too tired to jog now my lower back is hurting. F*cking sucks.

Yesterday . Thanks astro veggie prof for the blow out, on behalf of the DLSU badminton club. Goo for breakfast . The aircon is too cold and the oil of the canned sardines in my locker gooed up. Oh well. Strategikon . finally getting it (hopefully). Asking mom to get it while they are in the states.

Felt sick at work yesterday . Feeling better now. too tired to do anything else but rest. I was thinking of Tinkering but right now I'm pretty tired. Today . Got my results and they were positive, Printed Byzantine Economics and Demographics, and cooked breakfast : pork chop. Trying to organize my body of writing for my Byzantine Blog, at least in my head. I should play something but I can't think of anything fun to do...
