so what's new mr. mumbles?

Well, I'm back in college for the final stretch. It seems like everything is shapely up nicely. I didn't get a D in Managerial Accounting like it said. The teacher had made a data error. I actually got a C which isn't something to brag about, but it is still loads better than a D. As for the current school semester, it's going to be a hard time, but I know this is the only chance I have so I have to do my best. I have six classes left, and I cannot wait to be done with it all.

As for gaming, I've found that the World of Warcraft is a fantastic world. I knew that my addiction to Final Fantasy XI crippled my grades (I didn't go to classes because I was busy killing monsters in order to get items for my sidejob), but I know where my limits are this time. WoW is very forgiving compared to FFXI in almost every aspect. I know it is $15 per month, but I'm only going to stay online as long as the school semester since I'm really missing playing video games. PSP is there, but I just like using it for what it is made for. Portable uses. In between classes, bus rides, and so on. So no Portable Ops/Metal Gear Acid 2 for now. And I don't have any PC games at the moment, so World of Warcraft was my option.

Besides gaming, I've just been enjoying watching HD DVD movies. They are just so crisp and clear. I know I had beaten down HD DVD for not being Blu-Ray, but I don't care anymore. I love both formats for delivering such beautiful visuals. I have Fearless, Batman Begins, Serenity and will soon have The Last Samurai and V for Vendetta.

Technology-wise, I recently purchased a new 350GB SATA-II Seagate hdd and an extra stick of 1GB or RAM. My computer is going to be a major powerhouse now. Now if only I had the money to buy those brand new CPUs. =)

I've been talking with my brother. He had a great time in the Philippines. I wish I was there also since three weeks being close to alone was excruciating. I didn't even play that many video games. I just watched TV most of the time. I should make it a priority to save money to go there this Christmas since I will be done with college and all. It'll make a great gift to myself.

As for my brother, I feel sad for him since he sounds so depressed here. I find it a bit funny that the moment he arrived in the US, his psoriasis flared up again. I think even his psoriasis loved the Philippines. lol. I wonder if it was possible for him to live there in the Philippines. He'll most likely find the confidence to lose weight, find a job, have lots of sex........shit, by the time you know it, all his diseases will be gone.

There is one thing I laughed at. Daniel told me of a situation where Lola was confronted by one of my cousins, J.L. He told her, "Go back to your room bitch." Right there, I couldn't stop laughing. I wouldn't have the conscience to say anything like that to my grandmother.

I wish I was there to witness that, lol.
