2-22 - Rainy Day

It's been raining the whole morning, and our school does not suspend classes yet. At noon, the rain stopped. At around 1:30 p.m. it rained again. Come on, suspend already.

During these days, our school is one of the last schools standing. The problem with late suspension is, we are already stranded when the announcement is made.

In the end, there was no suspension because there was no flood. Good decision of the school.

2-21 - Program IC (PIC)

We learned today in our laboratory how to program ICs. It's very easy!

We used that for basics: Sequence of lights. For next week, here comes the more complicated part... mobot programming!

Now I wonder why programs for Christmas lights are very expensive. Ripoff!

I'm planning to make my own for Christmas.

2-20 - Batch Play

Back in high school, the Juniors have a Shakespearean play and the Seniors have a Passion Play. For this year, the Shakespearean Play is Merchant of Venice.

I came a few minutes late so I was not able to start the play. The story was nice. I just did not know if I understood the story correctly. Some parts were confusing. I think I'm reading that on summer.

After the 1st play there was a break, so I went down. I saw s.s. and I told her how boring it was in the balcony (I'm a graduate and I just came back to watch). I don't have batch mates watching.

I asked if I can sit in the area where she was sitting, and she agreed. Then there "he" was and he saw us together, again! I bet he's jealous again.

The Passion Play is kinda boring, but I understand how hard it was to make it not boring. When I was a senior, Our play is 5 people you meet in heaven passion of Christ version. Ours was also boring.

The only Passion Play that I remembered was not boring is waaaay long ago. They made some parts into a musical. That was nice.

2-19 - The Pain of Final Fantasy 3

Final Fantasy III on the DS is just a remake and an American localization. But this remake is not like the other remakes that is easy to finish. This has the same difficulty of the original version, maybe harder.

A character gets killed in the middle of the dungeon. Choose: exit the dungeon and heal; use raise (what if out of mp); use the rare phoenix downs.

This is the first final fantasy where I felt the pain of starting the dungeon again when the party is defeated since it is on an actual DS, not emulators where save states are available. I took that as a challenge.

Thanks to teleport, exiting dungeons are easy (except when white mage is down). The problem is entering the dungeon AGAIN.

2-18 - Major Assignment

For our subject Transmission Media and Antenna, we got a major assignment. We are to answer all the questions on the end of a specific chapter for three books. And the time alloted, 2 weeks.

Great. Less game time for me. As if this is the only subject I have this term. Come on, I have 4 four more major subjects taken this term.

On the bright side, This will be my review for the midterm exams.

2-17 - Screen Guard?

The screen guard of my 3DS XL kinda sucks. It now has a lot of scratches. I realized that the scratches are now affecting my gameplay when I played Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, When I slide the stylus across the screen, I could feel the rough parts of the screen.

This also kinda affected the visuals of Final Fantasy III. FFIII plays the game on the lower part of the screen, but with the scratches, the visual is affected.

I don't understand. The screen guard I bought was expensive and was from a gaming store. Why would that happen to the screen guard? Maybe DS screen guards are destined to do that.

2-16 - Mad at Me? So What?

I visited s.s. today at her school. (Our school has classes on Saturdays and no classes on Thursdays opposed to all high schools having no classes on Saturdays.)

I met her, and I showed her my 3DS XL. I told her about this last July and how I decided to buy one. The cover page of the card I gave her for Valentine's Day shows a picture of Terra (Theatrhythm Final Fantasy) greeting her. I showed her the game because she wanted to know where the cute picture came from.

I then let her play the game itself. She loved the game a lot. Only there did I realize that she is a lefty like me as she used the stylus. We played some songs, and had a nice time together.

Or did it last?

Some friends of mine says that "he" is very mad at me. I just laughed it off because there is no particular reason for him to be mad at me. Why would he be mad at me? They weren't even together. I know the rule when there is a couple, but this is NOT a couple. "He" just thinks they are.

Then "he" came, and took her attention away from me. My reaction: Come on, can't you even ask me first before you do that? That's so rude! Jealous crazy dude.

My younger sister is with me so I told her to call the sister of s.s. for backup in case "he" decides to argue with me. He just doesn't know the truth yet, and when he does, he'll regret doing all of what he did to separate me and s.s.

First, he ruined my school fair date. Now, he ruined my somewhat post-Valentine's Day date.

I met her sister and told her what happened. Now our plan is in progress. I told her maybe it is the right time to plead to s.s. to stop all these madness. I told her to continue what I have started. I made a good start and now it is in her hands now. I hope our mission will succeed.

Hope, wish, dream, what other words? You get the point.

After "he" is gone, s.s. thanked me for showing her my 3DS and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. She told me she enjoyed the game. Another point for me! XD

It is a nice ending.
