Watashi Bento ~desu (my first in school)

Being an otaku, it's not strange for me to crave for Japanese cuisine and wanting to get the feeling of an anime school student.

Preparing a bento lunch is very exhausting, the steps are listed below:
1. Research and Planning
2. Buying the ingredients and stuff from the grocery
3. Food Preparation
4. Cooking
5. Packing

It's a very complicated matter for a student like me who lives in a country where general groceries open at 10 am and the school starts at 12 o'clock, school ends at 7 pm and groceries closes at 9pm.
The heavy traffic after school won't give me anymore time for grocery shopping.

I was just actually waiting for the right timing when there's a whole day event. I failed twice before, but just today I did it! and ate my first bento in the school.

The first attempt was when I've done the grocery but failed to have the time to prepare and cook the bento and decided to make tuna sandwiches instead. The second attempt was when I failed everything else except for the packing, that's when I just bought the lunch from 7-11 and just wrap it with furoshiki.

Today's a lucky day indeed, I did it and ate it all in less than 5 minutes without water, it's a medium sized meal with a 1:1 ratio of rice and side dishes, unfortunately I wasn't able to fit in the vegies that I've also prepared.

How I did it is the question. Well, it really needed a lot of research from the internet, and I'm very grateful for About.com and Wikipedia.org.

So I had to decide what dishes I want to eat and list them down. First thing that came in my mind was the octodogs! then onigiri, gyudon, chicken nuggets, veggie salad and stir fried bean sprouts.

So I still needed to buy them and the bento box. It so happened that there are several Japanese thrift shops in our area, selling all item in 66 php to 88 php!

Yesterday, I got out of school earlier because nobody wants to mess with me and the guard is such a sucker, nah it was legit. I had the time to go shopping and did so. Today, I woke up at 4 and started preparing and cooking and ended around 6:30. This day was not one my regular school days but it was a whole day and had to attend in the morning so a bento was necessary.


What's in it are the following,
- 4 onigiri cubes
- 5 octodogs
- Gyudon topped with pickled relish
- stir-fried bean sprouts or togue

After the lunchbreak had started, butterflies also started to appear in my stomach helped with a slight hunger. I really wanted to eat alone but decided to eat in the school cafeteria anyway.

As I gobbled up my food with silver chopsticks, I can sense these weird stares on me from others. Finally, I finished my food and went out the cafeteria and heard somebody yell at me from inside, "Konichiwa!".

What a weaboo, I am.

Living a School Life Genre

School just started, or another way to say it is "Here comes our 10 months of hell".

Most people would think it's ordinary, but for me it's
more than ordinary. Having watched a bunch of Anime series with school life themes makes me think, "this could be interesting".


Am I going to copy those anime characters when I get in situations as what happened to them? Who should I copy? Sakuragi Hanamichi, Tomoya Okazaki, Ryuji Takasu (I'm pretty similar to his lifestyle), Kyon or Sunohara?


Well, I was actually designated to sit in the front row according to the alphabetized orders of our names. All of us in the class don't actually sit on our assigned seats, unless during our adviser's time. I sit at the very back of the classroom so I could sleep without getting caught, though I got caught twice, I believe. But the possibility rate is far more lower than sleeping in the middle or in front.

For high schools in the Philippines, at least in our high school, boys and girls are separated in 2 groups in the class. But some "delinquents" which includes me don't sit in either side, because we have our own row. The unofficial 6th row, I call the delinquents' row, exempted from cleaning duties. Since there are only 5 school days in a week from Monday to Friday, only the first 5 rows will do the job and we the intimidating thugs don't have to.

The x in there is where I sit.

hare hare yukai dance invasion!

Hare Hare Yukai is the closing song of the short-lived anime, Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. This is where the main characters dance so gracefully and like with copy-pasted bodies, their moves were so cute and the two boys, Kyon and Koizumi didn't danced like fags.

Thousands of Haruhi fans showed their dance skills too, even the Dancing Jail Inmates in Cebu Prison in the Philippines danced the Hare Hare Yukai dance!







It gave me goosebumps, seriously.

Scientific Theory: The eWorld is Flat


This is an excerpt my first article of my newspaper, The 24/7 Report I published in eRepublik, before I got permanently banned from eRepublik.

Actually, we can say that whatever shape the eWorld has, no matter what, it will still stay formless.
Imagine what you can about the eWorld, or make your own model of it, the truth is, they're just computer codes that resulted to images and shapes like that of the map of the earth shown on your Monitor screen.



What you see is just virtual, light waves transmitted to your eyes, then processed and analyzed in your brain.
As a result this might lead to total belief that this is the real world which might cause one to hate a virtual enemy nation.

The point is - It's just a game.
Be a sport my fellow eCitizens, we won't lose anything serious here.
Whatever the outcome is, we will still live in our respective homes in the physical world.

Let's enjoy the game to the fullest!
