myOtaku.com: The Mask

Saturday, October 14, 2006

Hey there guys! Do you smell what The Mask is cookin'?

Right now, I'm listening to some episodes of Full Metal Alchemist. That's right, listening. Apparently, my computer is just too outdated that the only thing I can play in the 17 CDs of Full Metal Alchemist episodes (which me and my brother borrowed from Blue Hawk) is the audio alone. Makes me feel like I'm listening to a radio drama show of FMA. Now if only this was in English...

Anyway, yesterday was Friday the 13th. Aaahh!!! But then again, yesterday was also the Sacred Heart of Jesus, so that makes yesterday a blessed day for us Catholics.

Yesterday was the final day of the 1st semester! Finally, it's semestral break! Woohoo!

Yesterday, we attended the Sweet 16 debut of my old schoolmate Jacky. The attire (supposedly) was a tuxedo. And so I did wear a tuxedo. But not an ordinary tuxedo. You see, the color of my coat and slacks (or should I say, my dad's coat and slacks) was dark blue. My long-sleeved polo (or should I say, my white Barong tagalog) was white. Plus, I have a pair of eyeglasses with me (which I actually use). Seeing this opportunity, I rushed to get a 19-peso maroon bowtie so that I would look like...yup, you guessed it, Detective Conan! (I would've bought a red bowtie, but there wasn't any available.) Too bad nobody noticed my anime-inspired attire that night, except for Number 5 (who wore a mini-skirt!).

Anyway, the party was okay. Had a little reunion with my old comrades. Got to dance with the birthday girl, since I'm one of the "16 roses". And I get a little souvenir!

The one thing that was odd at the party was the band. One time, they sang the Eagles song, "Hotel California". The chorus of the song was supposed to be sang as, "Welcome to the Hotel CA-lifornia." However, the band sang it as, "Welcome to the Hotel Ca-LI-fornia." We thought it was a mistake, but later learned they did it on purpose.

By the way, this week I've featured 2 features in "THREE FREAKING YEARS". One's for takeshi takumi, while the other's for Adam. If you wanna read it, just go at the cafe's archives.

Oh yeah, and today's title was taken from the Beatles song, "Yesterday".

Now, let's go to today's 3FY:
---------
THREE FREAKING YEARS
Remembering Old Friends
People come, people go. That saying is applicable even here in myOtaku. So for today, let's take a look at some of the great people that have left us in the past years. Wait...that's sounds kinda creepy, so let me rephrase it. Let's take a look at our old friends that have left myOtaku in the past years.

MAJR. MAJR was one of the most popular peeps here in myO. In every post, he would get more than 100 comments from different members. It was a feat that's so incredible and amazing, and a feat that's not likely to ever happen in my site. Seeing how cool his site was and the number of comments that he gets, I decided to add him as a friend. Later on he added me as well. And then, on my very first visit in his site after he added me, I learned that he was leaving! Oh man! We might have been good friends, but I guess that's not bound to happen. Anyway, I hope you're doing well, MAJR!

Philfoula. Philfoula was arguably the "hunk" in the site. I even remember Number 5 pasting his pictures in her scrapbook for Home Economics class. Anyway, Philfoula was quite a cool Canadian dude. He would share us some thoughts and once gave us a game on foreign words (a game which, thru the power of the Net, I managed to solve a bit). There was this one time when I was the only guy who responded to his post regarding him not being able to balance his myOtaku life and his real life. He thanked me for the little concern, and knowing how my comment helped him a bit made me happy. Later on, he did leave the site. But many of us still remember you, Phil! Take care now, Philippe!

Kastom. I learned about Kastom in the now-retired Articles section. He was the writer who produced the most number of articles in the site. (Count: 26) He was my fellow SOAPer, and he was also one of two members of T.W.I.T. The most memorable moment I had with him was in the promotion issue, wherein my little complaint regarding Kastom not getting promoted despite the many articles he submitted had led to his promotion a day after. I was glad he got the promotion that he really deserved, and he thanked me for it as well. Kastom's site is still available, but for now he's retired in myOtaku. His departure was partly due to the loss of the Articles section, but it was mostly because he has to focus on his studies in his university (especially since he has a scholarship to maintain). I hope you'll succeed in your university, Kastom!

That's all for today. HAVE A NICE DAY!
