4-4 - An Urgent Call

After my first class, I have 4 hours break. I got a call from my oral surgeon that I should report immediately. The stitches placed must be removed because it's been a week after my surgery. Otherwise, infection might occur.

I went there from school (costly bus fee), did what must be done, and back to school (costly bus fee again!). I made it back in time for my next class.

I should've gone there yesterday, since I'm free the whole day yesterday.

4-3 - FFX (PAL Version)

I just finished downloading a copy of FFX PAL Version. I have a copy of the NTSC Version, but the special features of the PAL version like the dark aeons and penance, and the expert sphere grid are not there. I want to experience all these!

The differences that I have noticed aside from the ones mentioned above:
  • The numbers during battle are too thick in the PAL version
  • The PAL version runs faster on the emulator (because of 50 Hz, I guess)
  • The party seems to level up slower in the PAL version (maybe because the expert grid has fewer nodes)
The expert grid is very confusing! Planning is very important (especially for Kimahri).

What I did to Kimahri is, I let him go to Yuna's path, then at the junction, go to Rikku's path because of steal and the AGI build for the ronso battle at gagazet.

4-2 - Final Fantasy V on the IOS

My classmate got his own FF5 for his iPad mini (jailbreak actually).

I checked it, looked if there is any difference between it and the other versions.

I think there is no difference between the IOS version and the advance version. The sprites were only improved, and diagonal movement is enabled. That's it!

It's just a porting, not a remake! Square Enix, why won't you have a remake of this on the 3DS or the DS, just like what you did with FF3 and FF4? Come on! Make the buyers of 3DS worthy of buying them! (like me, because of TFF, FF3, and FF4)

Don't you dare do the same on FF6!

4-1 - Final Touches for Mega Assignment 2

Today afternoon is the submission of mega assignment 2. Guess what? I'm still two books short!

I just did a rush making of the assignment. I chose two books with only a few questions and answered them. I was still able to finish this on time, and pass it on time.

No more mega assignment 3 please?

3-31 - Happy Easter!

Today is Easter Sunday! I should be enjoying!

What actually happened:

I'm too busy with my mega assignment 2 because the deadline is tomorrow already!

3-30 - Black Saturday

Today the pain from the surgery starts to lessen. I'm totally fed up from eating porridge again and again. I wanted to eat other food!

Today I ate pizza, rice and chicken. I missed eating these! I am just being careful in chewing, making sure I don't hit the areas of surgery.

I can go out already. Today I attended the Easter Vigil mass.

3-29 - Good Friday at Home

The same routine again.

I could not attend the veneration mass today because I'm still in pain.

Every Good Friday here in the Philippines it's very hot, especially when it's 3 p.m. already. The heat is not good for me because it might induce bleeding again. That's why I only drink cold water.

3-28 - Maundy Thursday at Home

The same daily routine goes.

I can't attend today's mass because of the pain I am experiencing. It might get worse. I just rested at home and did my mega-assignment number 2.

3-27 - Pain Pain Go Away!

Having an oral surgery is not painful. The after effects are the ones painful!

When I get up in the morning, I can already feel the pain because the effect of the painkiller wore off during my sleep.

I can't eat almost everything! My meals consist of porridge and cold water only!

I also have to be careful in brushing my teeth. I should avoid the area of surgery. I just gargle salt and water for oral hygiene at the area of surgery, but it is also painful!

I hope this pain ends faster than expected.

3-26 - Goodbye Wisdom Tooth

I scheduled today for my oral surgery. Too bad I have to skip some of my classes for this. I chose this day so I can recover during the Holy Week break since I still have classes after that.

I had both wisdom tooth removed so I will just have to do it once (and have to go through the pain only once). It's time to go through the pain.

Painkillers please stop the pain!

3-25 - Untagging

There are a lot of tagged photos in my timeline in Facebook. I checked if these are really photos with me supposed to be in there.

I started removing the tags. There are a lot of photos!
  • Advertising photos of events from school organizations
  • Past assignments
  • Some photoshop pictures made by someone (who seems like bragging it)
  • Some videos made again by someone (who seems like bragging it again)
  • Some pictures that doesn't really have to do with me
  • Some pictures that should be forgotten because of something
I removed all of these. It's better for them to be gone than to fill up my timeline!

3-24 - The start of Mega Assignment 2

After the busy days for my parents' silver wedding anniversary party, I finally have time to start the Mega Assignment.

The same procedures. Three books. Engineering lettering. Time for sleepless nights.

3-23 - No Grad Ball

Today I just stayed home. I did not attend the graduation ball because my date is not going. She was not allowed to go. Her mom is strict. I feared that, but I can't force her. I understand her situation.

It's okay that I did not go to the grad ball because as I viewed the attendees on Facebook, I saw that not many of my friends are going. Only about 10 of the people I know attended the grad ball.

The bad thing is that I missed a once in a lifetime event. The good thing is that I saved the money that I was supposedly going to spend for the grad ball.

3-22 - Leveled Up Too Much

Today, many of my classes are suspended. First, in my three-hour laboratory class, the professor did not come. Another lecture class, the professor also did not come because he was busy.

During these no class time, I just played Theatrhythm Final Fantasy on my 3DS. I started with Faris at level 1. At the end of the day, Faris is already at level 90. Too much playing!

3-21 - Boredom at the Library

During my four hour break today, I stayed in the library. I have nothing to do so I just played Final Fantasy Tactics on my laptop. The game gets harder and harder.

I'm just not sure if my team is under leveled, or I'm using the wrong team, or the enemy team is just so strong. Maybe I'm using the wrong tactics.

Hate the Elmdor battle.

3-20 - Repairing

Today I repaired my dc power supply. This was my project for Electronics 1 during the first term.

I replaced the regulator and the capacitors. Now my power supply can be used.

My speakers run on 9 volts DC, and the power supply is used here. I tried it by using my 3DS and played some songs. It worked.

3-19 - Unlocked All TFF Characters

Unlocking characters in Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is a pain. To unlock them eight shards of a color are to be collected. These are collected in the Chaos Shrine.

I played a lot of Dark Notes to unlock them. The problem when a character is already unlocked, the shard of the unlocked character is sometimes received. The playing of the Dark Note just becomes a waste of time. It's extra painful when the last one is to be unlocked. I played Dark Notes a lot of times because I always keep on getting the wrong shard.

3-18 - No Failures for Midterm!

I saw my grades after my first class. Great! No failures.

The two subject which I think will fail... passed!

Now the thing that I have to worry now is the finals. But first, time to chill out for a while.

3-17 - The Day Befor Midterm Grades Come Out

Midterm grades. These are some of the problems I am having right now. This happens every term. I always hope I don't get any failing mark, even for midterm.

Why? I always get scolded when there is a failing mark.

It's just the midterm. There is still the final grade.

3-16 - R4 for DS/3DS

One day I went to a game shop.I saw this R4, which is for DS to 3DS. I asked what that was for. I was told it is a cartridge which makes downloading DS games possible. At first I was wondering what that was.

I then remembered some people I know who are playing DS games without changing game cartridges. I remembered it, then I did not like it.

It's like getting the games for free, illegally. When it comes to these consoles, I don't like hacking and illegal games. The R4 might even damage my 3DS. I would rather save money for games than do that.
