Sprain, Sprain Go Away

I would have liked to report a positive first, but I said I'll take these things as they come. I don't remember if I've ever gotten a sprain before, so this will count as a first.

It's not even the regular ankle sprain that you get when one twists their ankle. The bruising and pain are similar, but I attribute this one to setting a heavy weight on my foot (not my weight, as Shirney humorously pointed out). *Sigh*, to think I had to miss the Dumagat Med Mission for this. T_T.

The doctor also asked me to get 'Blood Chemistry' testing. He wants to check if I am diabetic, as bruising like this might be a symptom. I've been putting off getting a blood chem before this, too lazy and unwilling to fast for 12 hours :P. So I'd have to get one, once I've drank all my meds.

Before the meds that the doctor prescribed, I was drinking biogesic, then alaxan. I knew that they were wearing off when the pain, feverish heat and headaches start to turn up again. So aside from the sprain, I also had fever. Just great...

If you're feeling a bit of Schadenfreude, be my guest.

PhD in Horribleness

Horribleness is actually a noun :))



A recommendation from Aidz led me to watch "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog".

If you're a fan of musicals, comedy, HIMYM, and/or Neil Patrick Harris, you've got to watch this one.

Oh, I've also awarded myself a PhD in Horribleness. Why not get yourself one too? :P

Haste Makes Dates?

I kinda knew what Speed Dates are from Hitch and similar movies/series. So when Pisay98 planned one as a fund raiser, I want interested in trying it.

Geek Mode!

Let X=number of pairs. You'll have X number of dates of around 3minutes each.
Let Y be your assigned number.

You have to compete with the voices of 2X-2 to be able to have an audible conversation with your current date.

In the end you are allowed to write up to X/2 - 2 assigned numbers of the opposite sex. If any of those ladies are interested in meeting up with you again, you'll be 1:(X/2-2) that she chose out of X possible men.

So, I'm happy to report that I did ok :) I had 2 matches :P

Yehey! Shame on you...

If you didn't catch it, ask me :P

Thanks to Bug for the heads-up

Working Through Pain

This is one of six titles in the Anime-inspired story collection 'Batman Gotham Knight'. The whole movie show glimpses of Bruce Wayne/Batman through different eyes and directing styles.

Some of the directors have worked in projects such as the Animatrix, Tsubasa Chronicles, Meine Liebe, Mind Game, etc. Production houses include Madhouse, Production IG, Studio 4 C, Studio Deen.

Watch it if you get the chance, and see how Japanese animate this masochistic bat-fetishist hero :P

Stormy Day Adventure

The Tropical Storm "Frank" raged last night and left problems like flooding, brownouts and stranded passengers. So rather than getting work done, I decided to sleep over at the office as the rain /winds were strong and power/internet was probably down everywhere.

Around lunch today I decided to force my way home. I rode a cab, but he dropped me off a couple of blocks away, saying that my destination was severely flooded. I was a bit pissed so I changed my mind and commuted. It was fine until we stopped around St. Luke's, unable to go forward due to a couple of blocks waist deep in flood.

Not sure what my train of thought was, but I ended up taking the most tedious solution: I walked.

Without familiarity of the area nor landmarks to guide me, I soldiered on and just kept walking. I backtracked a couple of times, blocked by subdivisions or more floods. The map below shows the path I took, St. Luke's to Capitol Medical.
It was kinda fun knowing where you are, where you want to go, but not knowing how to get there.

Awesomeness

Macross Awesomeness (1600x1131. 481kb) (original is 2480x1754)

This is a poster I designed to be hung at home and the office. It was inspired by Barney Stinson's Awesomeness poster, but mine has a twist of Macross.

The Valkyrie portraits are by Tenjin Hidetaka.

A secret I will never tell...

Such a dirty little secret.

Ok, I'll spill it...

I watch Gossip Girl!

There, I said it.

For the hype? Maybe.

For the story? Probably.

For Blair Waldorf/Leighton Meester? Hell yeah!
