“Sampung mga daliri, patay ang isa…” This has been my theme song for the last two weeks. You see, two weeks ago, something unfortunate happened - my left middle finger “died” so to speak.

It was one fine afternoon. We, Didai, Mishel and yours truly, decided to go to DMC to inquire about their training. As we were loading our stuff inside Mishel’s pick-up truck. Didai sat in the backseat then WHAM! she closes the door. For a second there my mind shut down. Then pain from my left middle finger surged through my brain. As an instinctive reaction I tried shaking my left hand and there it was, blood splattering all over the place - the window, the floor, my shirt. I went directly to the faucet and tried to wash the blood off and there I saw that the the flesh underneath my nail came out. The blood just won’t stop from oozing out so I had to apply pressure on it.

We went directly to the clinic of my uncle just a few minutes away from where we were. Unfortunately when we arrived there was no doctor on duty that day. So I decided to take care of meddy (the name of the middle finger. yes! we gave it a name after the incident) myself. Using a knife (blade + scalpel) and nail cutter, I removed parts of my nail to expose the wound and the protruding flesh. After an hour or so, “the operation” was successful with the help of my scrub nurse Didai and videographer/ photographer Mishel.

A day after the accident I had to make some adjustments. As a web content writer, I needed all of my fingers to be functional. It took me quite some time to get used to typing without using my left middle finger. As of now, the finger’s healing fine… I guess… in a week or two, I might be able to use it again normally.

You can view some of the pictures Mishel took after the jump. It’s kinda graphic so for those who faint at the slightest sight of blood don’t click the link.

To update, or not to update: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;

This notification has been bothering me in the administration panel of my blog for the past few weeks. Being new to this blogging thing, I haven’t tried doing it before and I fear that if I do, I might mess things up. I’m still trying to weigh things out and hopefully I’d come up with a decision in the next few days. So if ever you won’t see my site in the next few days, it only means that I tried to update to Wordpress 2.5 and failed… *crossing my fingers* ^_^

I once was an avid player of the MMORPG Ragnarok Online. I started playing I think in 2003. I gained a few friends online and that was the reason why I got hooked. However a few months after I started, I stopped playing the game for financial reasons - the game was eating most of my allowance. I was in the Chaos server back then.

A few years later, news spread that Level Up Games would open up a new server which was free to play. This server was called pRO Valkyrie.

Seeing that all that I needed was a computer with decent specs plus good Internet connection
, I jumped in on the bandwagon and created a new character in the pRO Valkyrie Server.

I was quite enjoying myself playing the new Taekwondo character. A week of being in addict mode, I reached level 75. I was leveling at the map above Lighthalzen because that’s where hordes of Metalings reside. Why Metalings at level 75? There was this event that made formless monsters give out x2 exp. Having no equipment except for a hat, Metalings were my best choice. Plus I have some Field Manuals handy.

Now one day, when I opened my account, I was in this unfamiliar place. There are no portals to exit to. There were other characters however their behaviors seem inhuman… bot-like. That’s when I realized I was in some sort of jail for 3rd party software users. “WTF?! But I wasn’t using any! Why am I here?!” So I filed a ticket. A few weeks passed by and nothing happened so I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I’m back! The “lazy” part of the name Lazy Goy kicked in. Sorry for that ^_^

Anyway, this “comeback” post is about reminiscing college life. My sister has just graduated on her second course at the Ateneo de Manila. Fresh out of the university life, she may still be experiencing some withdrawal symptoms. This became evident when she sent me a link to her blog entitled “The Life of a Student.” Well, I was really able to relate well with the post so here I am making a repost of her post so I can share it with you. Hope you enjoy this as well as I did ^_^

A new weekly periodical called The Edge has been launched in Davao. Most of the topics in it are related to businesses as well as e-commerce specifically in Davao City. Copies of The Edge can only be acquired on chosen establishments all over the city. However, I am fortunate enough to receive a copy every week since my tita works for them.

When I woke up yesterday mid-morning (Monday), a new copy of the paper has already been delivered to my room. I browsed through the pages to see if there are any interesting topics. I was just flipping through the pages until I reached the Events section - indeed I found something interesting.

What the hell?! That’s David (1H) together with his girlfriend April. They were in this event called Black Valentine’s sponsored by Clear. It’s not that I was shocked or anything but I was just not expecting to see him in this business periodical. Huy Dabid! Sikat na man ka bordy! Hehe

I was hopping around youtube and I found this video entitled “Ken Lee”. Curious what the Ken Lee video was all about having over 2 million views, I clicked it and by God I’m glad I did. It’s definitely one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. A minute and 14 seconds of pure… uhm… entertainment! Here’s the clip. Enjoy! ^_^

I would just like to share with you how cruel life can be sometimes. Just when I was going to start my quest to lose weight, Kim gives me a link to the blog of his girlfriend Danica. Lo and behold! Pictures such as the one on the left of your screen welcomed me.

Danica, as it turns out, has the knack for creating such sweet temptations of which only Kim has had the pleasure of eating. But now these goodies are already available to the public. You can visit her blog at http://danskiedoo.blogspot.com/ for more information and your orders. If you are within Davao City, I think they deliver the goodies for free. If you’re not, maybe you can agree on something. Kim and Danica are very easy to talk to.

Anyway, here are more pictures to salivate on.

After almost 24 hours of implementing my new diet, things have not been going so well. I lessened my rice intake to one cup per meal and I didn’t have any sodas and junk foods. Mind you, it was not easy. I had to undergo a lot of mental struggles just to convince myself not to get more rice from the kaldero and I was actually winning… or so I thought I was.

It was late in the afternoon when I was snuggling up on my bed trying to get some shut eye when my ID (Freud) took over. My body was moving on its own. I stood up from bed, wore my shirt, got my wallet and went directly to Vivian’s store, the sari-sari store near my house. The tindera then asked me, "unsay imo?" My mouth opened and the words "Isa ka Chippy na red kanang dako ug isa ka sprite palihug" came out. My left hand took out my wallet, got 50 petot and paid the tindera. Then my eyes narrowed down on the label that read "Tear Here" and in an instant my hands grabbed the top lid and opened the Chippy. The right hand went inside the opened Chippy and dug like it has just found gold. It took 3 to 4 pieces of chips and offered it to my mouth which delightfully welcomed them by opening itself wide.

Halfway through finishing the Chippy, I regained control over my body. My throat felt so parched and thirsty. And because of this, I had to drink the sprite that my ID bought. And since it would be such a waste not to finish the remaining pieces of chips, I ate them. Hay…

And since I have already failed on day #1, I allowed myself to eat chocolate moist cake, eat lechon and drink more sodas =( I hope this will never happen again… =(
