What a way to celebrate the commemoration of my 50th post and 120th of all time. Ive been to this uhmm barrio fiesta wherein they have these fun rides and pasugalans all over the place. Its not that I wanted to be there in the first place (I won't disclose details with that matter).

1st Ride; The Train-like thingie they call Rocketship which just go round and round..

2nd ride; Good old merry-go-round.. and when I said old I really mean .. haha..

3rd ride; Same as number 1, only that it has newer paint and the side's design uhmm resembles a swan..

So, how would I describe the experience? Thrill seeker as I am.. I got excited by these rides.. as soon as their speed notched up.. Blood was rushing through my veins.. adrenalin .. Heart beat gone berserk.. knowing.. wanting.. something great is gonna happen.. Hoping.. hoping some of their old unsafe ride's parts would fall off creating an accident.. a commotion.. chaos.. catastrophe .. Hahaha.. (Evil grin..) Honestly, These rides shouldn't be allowed to operate. Even the entrance and exit steps were so wobbly that you'd really feel one of the whatever-patched-up-material things supporting it would break anytime. oh well.. what would you expect?

Oh wait.. I almost forgot..

4th and probably THE BEST RIDE EVER; Making up for the dissatisfaction I've experienced on the first 3 rides.. and that is.. A bus ride heading home.. Gawk!

After 10 years!

Haha.. Some of you guys might be wondering whats with the title.. Actually its an expression that some Filipino online gamers came up with. It is said to occurrences wherein something takes too long. Like for instance, casting magical skills Picture this: Flash Bar Loading.. 10 percent, 20.. 30.. "Ten years!" err never mind..

Oh well.. what does that have to do with what I'm gonna post today? Ten years!.. after ten long years! I finally found a way to recover my gmail/blogger password! /sigh.. You heard me right.. Stupid ME lost mi password.. I guess that answers two questions huh? 1st.. whats about the phrase and last.. what took me so long to post again?!

Before anything else.. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you guysbetter late than never.


I've gotta lot of stories to tell.. How I grew up within a month's time no.. really.. no kiddin' I'm serious How I fell "in" and "out" of love.. and "in" again? Hmm.. but.. but.. I just don't feel like telling things that should be left behind, buried in the past..

Don't be hatin' ya'll on me now.. Blame google or gmail for their slowpoke kind of service on helping me retrieve my lost password.Well, anyway.. I've got a good.. uhmm no.. great.. errr.. SUPER GREAT SPECTACULAR FANTASTIC feeling about this year And I think its gonna be one heck of an adventure, thrilling, hardcore packed 2008 for me.. Come what may, I'll make sure I'm gonna update you guys with what adventures and misadventures I run into.. Sayonara for now.. Ja matta atode!





P.S. Thanks to photobucket's Killa the Thrilla for these crazy icon things found on my post.. I might use them regularly now.. ain't they adorable?

And yeah.. I miss this piece-of-crap-blog-site of mine so much

I don't know how to start this post. All I know is, "I am mentally, emotionally and spiritually here but physically not". It didn't occured to me that I AM a GHOST until I noticed something strange as I went online.

I don't know how to explain it. All I know is I must do it quick. For some reasons, I've got a feeling that if I stay in this unknown form or I might stay like this forever. Worse, some other souls might find their way to my body and take full control over it.

Way back highschool I've been doing some research on Astral Projection, Near Death Experiences, Out of Body Experiences and the like. Every time I try doing it on myself, I fail, I fall asleep while doing these meditations. Now I've done it! But, must I be happy about it? I have proven myself something paranormal scientists couldn't even explain, I have become a GHOST.

Have I?

Proof: (?)

1. I can't feel any part of my body, Its just uhmm I feel cold, that's all I can feel. Unexplicable coldness, coldness from deep within not through the skin.
2. I am chatting right now with Winzton, Althea and Mike.. It bothers me I have set-up my status to Available yet they say I am invisible,(Invisible even to my self, I added myself to my friend's list yet its clear that I'm offline)
3. I tried playing my Ragnarok Online character.. Tried walking from Izlude dungeoun Byalan to Prontera's Middle Castle.. I am flooding the screen yet, everyone's ignoring me.. I can't even use the private message sending. Weird, I just have created my guild this afternoon and hey! I see no guild.
4. Actually I have no idea how on earth can a ghost, like me, use a computer. Wait a minute let me try if the same works with other stuffs. Aha! my digicam..

Damn it! Stop these nonsense.. I'm dreaming.. this is a dream.. soon i'll wake up.. knowing everything's just a dream..

Or maybe not..

This one is creepy.. It really made every single strand of hair in my body stand up.






Taking picture of MYSELF in my GHOST form.








This was the last thing I remembered as a Ghost.. As soon as I hit the shutter button I was drawn into nothingness and then I woke up in my bed hearing nothing but my heartbeat and sweating all over.

My PC still turned on.. Got my cam from my bag and I almost freaked out finding that these images posted above were real. I mean it really did exist. I really took the pictures, I really have turned into this unknown entity.. a ghost..






It doesn't end here.. There is just one last shot I wanted to show you..






Took this one after I turned on the lights..

Its up to you to discern things carefully. Believe it or not, it doesn't really matter to me.

I saw what I saw, felt what I felt, did what I have done..

Here is my final thought about this matter..

Seriously..

Its the time of the year when souls of our departed love ones come and celebrate with us.. Its the time of the year when they roam this world freely.. Ghosts, Ghouls, Lost souls..
Hey!? who's that creepy person standing right behind, staring at you?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

JoshieMeister Retiring?

"JoshieMeister" - Josh + Meister, A term coined by the stupid, no good, looser but loved Pirate Chef Gaigan. If you want to know why he calls me by that name.. 2 words ASK HIM!

What the hell is wrong with me? This week I dumped/rejected 3 pretty ladies who obviously likes me.

1. Well not really, In fact we "were" together. "Did" some crazy stuffs. (You know what I mean) well at least for a day. Shes nice, REALLY PRETTY I'd Give her 9 for over all quality out of ten. But still, theres something missing, we didn't click. I'm not into the "fun" stuff she offered me. Well for us "once is enough" felt sorry though for being first. Gomen nasai..

2. I was having lunch at Chowking when suddenly a group of 3 females approached my table, they were pretty uhmm I guess they were college students or.. err.. by the way they dress I'm 80 percent sure they were freshmen, I couldn't hear what they were babbling (I-pod on max volume playing songs of Start Trouble so I really won't hear a thing.) Why would I bother listen ing(Baka solicitors lang mga yun nanghihingi offering for some club or org they're in I would usually say "pasensya studyante rin lang ako eh" malas nila I'm totally not in the mood for such.) Lalo na when I'm 100 percent sure I don't know them, (I don't talk to strangers) One of the girls placed a piece of paper on my table, well I really didn't give a damn. As soon as I got through with my meal, Lumingon ako and they were gone so I got curious whats written on the paper. To my amaze it says "Hi I'm Stephanie, You look antipatiko and it turns me on. By the way heres my number.. 09-something". Well as I said earlier, I wasn't in the mood for (anything?). So I got my phone, keyed in these words "Next time don't give your number to strangers, Malay mo rapist pala ako o mamamatay tao. Do not reply.. " I actually didn't send it.. Instead I called for the waiter who served me and told him "Pare, pinapabigay nung tatlong chicks kanina.. type ka daw nung isa" I wonder, nagkatuluyan kaya sila? Hmmm..

3. Kanina lang. For those who don't know, Its my nature to stare back at people who stares at me. Parang psychologycal game. First to turn his/her eyes away loses hahaha. And so it happened this lady err how do you say it "nagkabangaan ng tingin" and so I stared. And hell i wanna laugh kasi it showed she was uhmm "di mapakali" hahaha. Lets describe her first, she was the head turner type of girl, I don't know why I describe her that way, pero It is what she does. I lost count of the guys trying to catch her attention by doing epal moves (urgh! irritating) So I went on with our game. Then suddenly she got her phone screen facing me with words like these "09-something text me" I was shocked! She got it all wrong. Did she believe I was flirting with her? haha kawawang nilalang! So I smiled walked away. After a few seconds it struck me, "Ay tanga bat di ko kinuha yung number?" hahaha.. Too late..

Hmm.. Whats with me? Maybe I'm just growing too old for this "joshiemeister" thing. Tumatanda na.. MEMORY GAP! lolx XD

Kira Inside of Us

Then suddenly it struck me;
"What would I do if I was choosen by a Shinigami (Death god) to own a Death note?"
Will I put myself in the shoes of Yagami Light and be Kira? or refuse ownership?


Sharina sorry for stealing this from your files ^^ Its about time we reveal who you really are! haha just kiddin' My sis Nami holding her Death Note >.<

A Death Note is a book held by a shinigami (Can be given to a human if a shinigami wishes to) which has the power to kill people if certain conditions are met.

• For those who don't know what I'm grumbling about.. some definitions from wikipedia

Death Note (デスノート, Desu Nōto^?) is a Japanese manga series created by the writer Tsugumi Ohba and illustrator Takeshi Obata. The series primarily centers around a high school student who decides to rid the world of evil with the help of a supernatural notebook that kills anyone whose name is written in it.

Death Note was first serialized by Shueisha in the Japanese manga magazine Weekly Shonen Jump from the first issue in December 2003 to May 2006, with 108 chapters in total. The series has been published in its entirety in 12 tankōbon volumes in Japan and in North America. The series has been adapted into a pair of live-action films released in Japan on June 17, 2006 and November 3, 2006 and an anime series which aired in Japan fromOctober 3, 2006 to June 26, 2007. Also, a novelization of the series, written by light novelist Ishin Nishio, was released in Japan on August 1, 2006

• Yes indeed it's an anime..

The Death Note anime, directed by Tetsurō Araki and animated by Madhouse, began airing in Japan on October 3, 2006 and finished its run on June 26, 2007 totaling 37 twenty-minute episodes.

(Facts taken from wikipedia)

Plot: Yagami is an extremely intelligent young man who resents the crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death Note", lying on the ground in the year 2003. The Death Note's instructions claim that if a human's name is written within it that person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the Death Note's authenticity, believing it is just a prank. However, after experimenting with it and killing two criminals, Light is forced to admit that the Death Note is real. After meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a shinigami named Ryuk, Light seeks to become "the God of the new world" by passing his judgment on criminals.

Soon, the number of inexplicable deaths of reported criminals catches the attention of the International Police Organization and a mysterious detective known only as "L". L quickly learns that the serial killer, dubbed by the public as "Kira" (derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the word "Killer"), is located in Japan. L also concludes that Kira can kill people without laying a finger on them. Light realizes that L will be his greatest nemesis, and a game of psychological cat and mouse between the two begins. I don't wanna be a spoiler so watch the series yourself ^^

• Trivia

People's Republic of China

Some schools in Shenyang, China have banned the manga after some of their students started to tease friends and teachers by altering a notebook to resemble a Death Note and writing their names in them.

The newspaper Shenyang Night Report called Death Note "poison, creating wicked hearts". Others however, including one major Chinese newspaper, felt that the ban is an overreaction and is inappropriate

Beijing also has a ban on "horror stories" around schools to protect the "physical and mental health" of students, which includes local adaptations of Death Note. China itself is likewise trying to weed out pirated copies of the books and television series, as well other Japanese horror magazines, where no legal publication house prints it. Wang Song of the National Anti-piracy and Anti-pornography Working Committee has said that the series "misleads innocent children and distorts their mind and spirit".

Belgian murder

On September 28, 2007 two notes stating "Watashi wa Kira dess" (I am Kira, with "desu" misspelled) were found near the unidentified remains of aCaucasian male. Nothing was found on or near the victim besides these two notes. Belgian police are investigating the matter further.

• My thoughts..

If ever a real Shinigami exists and hands me a Death note. I wonder, who would I kill first?
(evil grin)

I am Kira!

I'll pass judgment to those who deserves it. Justice Righteousness.. Maybe not.. I'm not God.. No one can play God, except for Him and only Him..
