Mei, 18 turning 19, Female, DLSU-M, September 27, Libra, loves almost everything that deals with world domination, hates bastards who try to steal my world (because I steal worlds).

If you find someone impersonating me or using my links in vain (refer to my links page for my official sites), do alert me at once :D.

I am so happy right now to currently be free in updating just for a while. Oh, hello again and I am pretty much back from doing some layouting and some page creating which really makes me so relieved now. Right now, I have formerly decided to make http://dzone.placidd.net as my official site thus meaning I will be moving all my content as much as possible to this site. I will still keep this site as it has been my official blog ever since 2005 :) so this site really has sentimental value for me.
well, seriously i have not really been true to my word in updating all my accounts. I have seen a lot of things and done a lot of things offline than online lately which makes me quite out of my PC love. Going back and forth in the city for hospital visits and just checking my little brother in the University he is in just doesnt help but helps me get out of the house... haha, so much ranting :p

anyway, i made my site layout new again and formally lessened the accounts linked to my name and to the name I have made infamous of since I cant really update everything that much and all that. If you suddenly find people impersonating me and such, do first refer to my links if they are me and all... and if not, then tell me asap so I can make actions out of it. I am also doing some proper fixing of my websites in multiply and livejournal so I have proper control over them in settings I can understand. for now, I will think of what to update... Im so blank!!! But for one thing, I have watched Transformers 2 before watching the first one. Hahaaha! See you all later

Hallo minna! Its been a while since I last updated this site like this... oh well... there are some empty slots here in my new update but i will fix that very very soon. Thanks to those part of this layout for the creds and all that :p Yay!

Anyway, announcement before my formal updates... to those who know my youtube account... I am not related to the guy named Cosplaying God coz all my accounts are totally exclusive to my friends and I am not allowing anyone else add my accounts unless they are adding my public account in multiply. This is my official blog site and anything else are not mine unless they are found on my links here. Please do tell me if you guys found any more posers or people impersonating either me or my friends coz this has got to stop. Thanks and I will update soon coz I have the time and the capacity to do it now :D See you all soon
Ack! Now im totally serious with this... I am currently refurnishing all my accounts and narrowing all those updates I need to do for each one of them. Even my dA and my plurk account is getting a facelift... even this really :D I will change layouts soon and basically, it will fit my incoming account for my other site which will be my world hub for my latest work :D so much for being nice right?
Hi guys, well... ok, i admit its really a habit of mine not to update regularly on my official blog (which is such a pain right?) but I update on my other blog so sorry for the really unupdated me. 
For a change, i want to change the feel of my blog entries now that I have decided to blog again... quite serious this will be coz I really wanted to make this entry since I got back from Batangas. But anyway...

Life before was total paradise, your simple 100 bucks can buy you a couple of things which you normally cannot buy in that amount like for example... a simple 100 bucks can get you 5 different courses of food on a particular cafe or restaurant. You can also live with only a particular amount of money for a month. But things have changed due to the course of time and as people's lives became more and more advanced... living life now is 10x as grave as the life we had before.

I have come to realize this was really a reality when I headed to the summit of the famous Taal Volcano of Batangas City here in the Philippines on my family trip last Wednesday before we headed back to the main land. There, while climbing the summit on horseback, i got to know my horse tamer whose name is Mang Boyet. At first I only asked how long the trip will take to the summit and if I can make his horse go faster plus other unusual stuff I wanna know while climbing the summit (with me getting the ideas of making a photoshoot out of the place). He did answer my questions and even held my extra sombrero which I got from the resort we were staying on. But as the topic of fees and tips that they get, I kinda asked how life is like around the area and he also told me his life before he started doing this work he has now. Apparently, he came from Laguna and basically met his wife who lives in the said island. Then, they moved to the island and live on a small place with four children... no electricity and just borrowing the horse for extra income. They breed fish too but the money they get from it is not enough. Imagine, paying the normal renting fee of 400 bucks for the horse you will use back and forth from the summit and the tamers only get 50 bucks out of it. I was told that you can only get 1/2 kilo of rice and some sardines for only one meal now... how about for the next meal? how will they survive it?

This is one view of life not really obvious to me unless you meet people experiencing it... be thankful for what you have and try to share if you can. so then... the saying is indeed right, try to make a difference... even if life is this unpracticable now.

Starting yesterday, April 2 to April 5, the Manila International Auto Show is back in its 5th Year in World Trade Center here in the Philippines. I'ved attended the last year show and well, I got a little disappointed with the last one since some of the expected cars were not there... but this year was totally amazing. I arrived there around 230 pm and checked out the place, it was the usual but of course each booth had their own new cars to show off and some customized cars as well. I gotta like the booth of Top Gear coz they got the Maserati (which was not there last year) and of course the Nissan GTR... damn i want one. So happens I also ended up catching the official press release of Subaru's Impreza WRX STI and WRX Sedan to be used in the trick show by World's Number 1 Precision Driver Russ Swift. Anyone would like the Subaru, it was perfect. Then I caught up with the trick show that happened in the back lot of WTC, at first, you wouldnt expect to see a guy such as Russ Swift to pull off those tricks the host was mumbling about but as the show went on... man i want to ride in that car! I missed by chance coz Russ picked some pretty ladies... lucky them. Anyway, the show was defy-defying, my favorite trick would have to be the last one, the doughnut loops. He did it so good! After that we got into the Subaru area again and unwittingly I ended up in the first line to get an autograph with Russ. He was a total gentleman and I admired him and his age as he can do that flawlessly. We chatted a bit but i was too speechless. Finished the exhibit with the customized cars and well, I cant wait for the next autoshow!
