Children of Dune
I nearly had a dilemma taping the first part of Children of Dune especially considering that I didn't know if I'd get home by 9 pm because it was my cousin's birthday (my cousins, by the way, are the direct opposite of my family line: they're big, fat, and chubby). Moreover, I didn't know what channel it was showing since apparently, it wasn't on Cinemax.
Fansubs
Fansubs is what's referred to anime subtitled by fans and distributed so that other people can enjoy it. Six years ago, the only means to distribute fansubs was through mediums like VHS and VCD. Now with the prevalence of broadband Internet, it's available on web sites, chat channels, and people's hard drives. Fansubs are distributed nearly as much as viruses are. Once it's out, I don't think there's any chance you can eliminate all the copies.
Of course I was surprised when I got fansubs of Hikaru no Go and Saint Seiya OAV the other day since the quality of subtitles was good, especially considering it wasn't a commercial endeavor.
Lately though, I've been slowly trying to acquire more and more anime, and as much as I want to claim it's for my own sake, it's highly motivated by my crush (it's not who you think it is) since she's asking me to get Prince of Tennis as well as, uh, Meteor Garden 2.
Athene: Why the sudden interest in Prince of Tennis?
Me: Uh, it's for my crush, hehehe.
On a side note, Hikaru no Go and Saint Seiya were for friends, but since I'm the go-between, and one who has access to a CD Burner...
Thank God for friends who are nice enough to burn me CDs, even if it does take forever.
Father Takes an Interest in Me
Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Well, dad got wind about me writing for Chinoy, the publication of the Fil-Chinese group in Ateneo. Right now, he asked me for a copy of what I wrote. And quite frankly, it's a far from flattering article since it's about a son (me) not being able to learn Chinese, which is what my parents wish of me (never mind the fact that when I ask them a certain Chinese word means, they go on a tirade but fail to give me the translation in the end).
Honestly, I don't know how he'll react.
Duty
Well, it's our orgs recruitment week. It's long hours of duty doing nothing but waiting. And it's in an atmosphere that's not conducive for me to concentrate or read, so I'm not productive. And all the cute students don't enlist in our org (they enlist in LitSoc, CompSat, ACOM, but not Comic Collective).
On a side note, I'm flattered that some who sign up do it because I'm there.
Not that tells me whether they'll be active in the org or not.
UP Book Fair
Well, it's this week so if there's any academic book that you haven't managed to obtain, now's a good time to do so...
