Class-free Monday

Guess who finally cleaned his room today after weeks of nursing-related torment? Lol still can't believe my room is this spacious after rearranging some pieces of furniture and de-cluttering the floor. And the best thing about having my room tidied, besides as preparation for my 2011 bagong buhay aka New Year's resolutions (which eventually fail anyway), is that I can finally breathe dust-free air. And a floor without any remnants from my nursing process or nursing textbooks in sight can be very tranquilizing.

Plus I was able to reorganize all the rummages in my study table (see image, left) which makes my day all the more productive and satisfactory :D

For the not-so-productive aspect of my day, I spent about 5 hours playing Pokemon Platinum. It was Plan B actually, because I've always wanted to play either Pokemon HeartGold or SoulSilver, but assfucker Nintendo had to encrypt an anti-piracy code in all roms of the latter games available in the internet. In other words, after making 24 moves (fighting other pokemons, talking to other characters, etc.) the game is rendered bricked. So there goes my childhood down the drain.

But Platinum actually isn't that bad, compared to Diamond. Because the last time I played the Diamond version, I've lacked the motivation to continue because the rom I downloaded came with cheat codes, which ruined the whole point of the game. It was, at first, quite engaging and enticing because it was my first time ever to catch pokemons owned by opponents, which is normally not allowed in standard game play. But I have to admit, the game gets boring eventually.

5 days away from Christmas and 8 days away from my 19th birthday. So I'm still thinking of what to buy for myself with $100. A camera sounds nice but the GE X5 (the one I've mentioned before) costs twice. A new pair of Chucks or running shoes is also an option but I'm really not up for it compared to buying a low-end cam. The other option I've reconsidered is having one of my earlobes pierces (lol this is serious). I don't know why, it was sort of random.

Then again, maybe I'll end up with nothing because I don't know if my mom would give me the money because she wanted me to save the money instead. And I told her, "Teh ano to karon pulos nga nagpadala pa si Papa sang Christmas remittance kung indi man lang pag-igasto para sa Christmas?" I was very certain what she had in mind (i.e. have the $100 as my January allowance) but wtf, I won't forego with that. Christmas was supposed to be a time for remembering Christ, sharing, as well as shopping.

Anyways, I'm still crossing fingers that she'll hand the money before Christmas.

Time to sleep. Hopefully, I could go hotel-hunting (venue for our nearing prom) tomorrow with or without JM. Goodnight :)
