Title: Hello and goodbye
Post by: Spellshaper on October 31, 2007, 12:12:00 pm
Haven't been posting here in a long long time... I've read some topics from time to time, though ;)wink.gif

Still I think I owe you the knoweledge of what I'm about to do:
At November the 3rd of 2007, I'll be out of the country for approx. 2 months.
I will visit the Philippines, visit relatives, look into university life and roam around the country.

I should come back around January the 15th of 2008.
I will have internet access, but I won't have a flatrate or broadband, so I won't be able to idle around the #omnimaga channel in IRC ^^
I will upload some pics and comment on them.

Until then, happy programming, and hf! ;)wink.gif

Random stuffz:

What is a tear?
An expression of pain as the world's moving by.
Mortal agony shaped into a crystalline cry.
So tender, so pure, so easy to shed
Upon reminiscing what I once thought I had.

Spare monitor, random stuffz lying around everywhere... note the "Populous3" game box in the back above the opened bible, <3 that game.

So yeah, it's all hectic, it's all random, it's all good.

Woo. I managed to persuade my aunt to get broadband (well, 384kbps counts as broadband here) and just finished setting up the router and the computers.

I'm fine, its HOT here, air is always humid, he food always has some kind of sweet taste ( spagetti+sweetness=weird ), I started college to see how it feels like ( the credits I get won't be transferred to germany :/confused.gif )

All in all I'm getting along well, and pics will come tomorrow :Dbiggrin.gif

Gonna get some fried bananas with chocolate sauce and honey, then off to bed *drool*

PS: non-alcoholic drinks seem to be always based on pineapple, ketchup is made of bananas with artificial coloring. weird but delicious.

Darn. Apparently I brought my digicam along, but not the funny-looking usb-adapter. Searching for alternatives... ._.

Actually, I already installed silkroad on his machine. :Ptongue.gif
But it's my cousin who's addicted to it this time, not me XDsmiley.gif (and sro is sloooooow and lagging)
Currently downloadin WoW hrhr

meh... get the joke already ^_^ I am not gonna waste time gaming in a foreign country :Ptongue.gif , though it's true I installed sro for my cousin
(unless that foreign country happens to be korea and I'm competing in the gaming WC  :wacko:triso2.gif )
Basically I'm here for what my mom calls "resocializing purposes", meeting relatives and trying to get my asthma away.

Point 3 isn't working well, there's the sea, and there's the dust and exhaust ._.

yeah... BM... that's another point on my list... :oops:embarassed.gif
I did not bring my calc to the philipines though  :ihatemypc:crash.gif

I think I have a memory card reader... smsed my cousin, he'll bring it along later... hopefully

You can always use an emulator, you do have a computer and internet access....right? (you can't argue with that logic, cuz if you do you'll be proving my point  :Ptongue.gif  ha!)

the world, from a tricycles point of view. they stink, are noisy, but get you anywhere you want inside the city for approx. 0.15$ US (6 Pesos).
Oh and jeah, they're way too small for me, I keep bumping my head on the ceiling.

great! :)smile.gif I wish I had the finance to travel like this
Title: Hello and goodbye
Post by: Spellshaper on November 24, 2007, 03:40:00 am
actually the most expensive part is the flight, the philippine's a cheap country... want a hotdog for 0.35$ US ? ^^
or a full menu at KFC for 2$ US? :Dbiggrin.gif
Title: Hello and goodbye
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 24, 2007, 03:50:00 am
Yeah the flights are always expensive. As for inside the country I think it depends of the currency rate, for example if I go in USA things may be pretty cheap for me because the rate is pretty low compared to what it was in 2002.
Title: Hello and goodbye
Post by: Spellshaper on November 24, 2007, 04:45:00 am
mmm going to sleep now...
one last thing: bought myself a "halloween special" at KFC...

nope... but the actual date doesn't matter much, as long as it's something to celebrate :Ptongue.gif (or to make money with)
asked around, they start putting up christmas decorations as early as September, christmas offers expire somewhere in february %)rolleyes2.gif
Title: Hello and goodbye
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 24, 2007, 08:04:00 pm
