Today I’d finally decided to really have some fun with my car. Supposely, the vtec kicks in around 6000rpm. That’s when the driver will feel a boost of power from the engine. So my goal was to go 4th gear at 6000rpm. Turns out that’s a lot more than I expected. At 4000, my car was already at 120km/h, so I backed off. It was very accelerating. At 4000, you can hear the car moaning for more speed. ….and it was only 4th gear.
Been away from everything of late, enjoying a moment of pure isolation. Other than e-mail, and friendster messages, I pretty much have everything else turned off. No IM/ICQ, even my mobile is off. It feels pretty good. Finally kicked the habbit of looking at the clock every few mins. What about the what if’s and such? It never occured then why should I expect it now.
Started this week, I’m trying to get to work earlier and leave by 6. This way I can have 4hrs of personal time to de-stress. (the 2 missing hours? one to drive home, the other to cook and eat.)
was looking around while I was on a break today. One of the other co-op student spent something like a whole hour at 2 desks behind me learning the basics from a full timer. It’s been a month already,…why is he still on those stuff. Then I remember, I’m a sponge for technology. I absorb technology like you wouldn’t believe. I learned all the xml and xlt stuff in 2 days. Actually it’s 3 but I wasn’t just reading, I was also working on the task assigned. Everything people do, I have to do better just because I can. Even the new hire haven’t caught up with xlt stuff yet and I’m already moving on to other stuff. But it’s understandable. He’ll be coming to the same job same spot for the rest of however long. I’m only there for 4 months and I want to get as much done as possible. (I have no intention in staying after the contract ends.) I’m learning a lot, but the location is far and equally boring as my last work term pos. ~_~
(maybe more, my last place of employement at the very least has a cafeteria. They have a pantry here that sits around 8 for the whole floor of people, so people usually eat at their desks…not much of a company culture. People come in, 9 hours later, they go home….boring….)
lately I’ve been chasing after the new anime series "Eureka Seven". It’s a rather refereshing series. The story is kinda stange, a bunch of ex-military youth living a surfer like lifestyle while battling(in giant robots) for their cause. It’s got a deep plot and intricate relations between the characters. I recommend it to everyone. You can catch it on youtube.com(it has eng subs). I’m on ep38, a couple more and I’d be caught up with the Japanese schedule releases. The Charles and Ray Bean characters are very likable, too bad they had to die so soon.

Sad to say, I’ve totally fallen for Bandai’s trap. Now I really want to Eureka Seven products like the ps2 game and even more the toy line. Funky robots that can pose like a surfer and tranform into cars.
woke up today, weather’s wonderful and all. Went on to check my e-mail and do the daily stuff…Now I’m sitting at my desk again, but I don’t remember a thing about what I was suppose to do today. I knew I had something planned…. ~_~
I don’t like where I sit in the office, for one, it’s far away from the rest of the team, and second, there’re always a lot of noise. Where does the noise came from? The traffic. No, my desk doesn’t face the hallway where the traffic should go, it’s on the opposite side. So why are so many people walking by? There’s an average looking girl at the next cubical. Sometimes it’s amusing to see how many guys are filtering with her, coming by for no reason at all and just talk talk talk. Man, male developers/engineers are so desperate, a single girl in the office is like meat in the parana tank. Most of the time, it’s not so amusing. I feel like shouting out "get a room you two, I’m trying to work here." I really need that extra 0.5 wall to my cubical so I have more privacy, or maybe put the wall next door to keep the noise down. heh heh.
The moment the movie ended, I thought to myself wtf? All the interviews and stuff, they keep mentioning how it’s true to the comic, but this….it’s not. They killed off so many key characters. What’s most disappointing? I was expecting a good fight mutants vs the sentinels. That wasn’t there, all I got to see was flashing lights from what’s suppose to be a sentinel in the stupid simulator, and the head rolling down, you don’t even get a body shot of how it looks like. Effectswise, it’s got some neat particle stuff but nothing new or ground breaking. What’s worst, Wolverine was all wimpy over Gene. He’s suppose to be one of those characters who hids it all inside.
sigh….it’s not a franchise killer but I wouldn’t pay full price to see this. (just my luck, I went to the theatres on tuesday.)
Finally back to be the angry evil me, and finally everything in set right. Work is going extremely well, and I finally had time to join the softball practice. A little tired because I’ve started my execise again Sat, but the nice thing is that I can already see the effects. : ) the world is mine again.
maybe it’s the recent stress and lack of personal time. or maybe it’s the drift of pain from years past. I feel totally consumed by my darkness. It came just right on time. This is fuel to get myself back in shape.
anger*hate => energy
by now you’d probably seen the clip on which ever media spreading site. I saw it first on youtube. That kid really has a high tolerance to insults. I know I wouldn’t take that kind of crap especially after work. Given if I was in that situation, I’d smack him on the side on the head and beat him to a bloody pulp.
1. I have no respect useless old men
2. if you get the story right, that guy is a pussy. Yea I said it, he was calling the suicide hotline on the bus over some stupid relationship problem. People who would call for help before suicide are usually just looking for attention, they aren’t going to do it. A real man would just go ahead and do it.
3. he’s a worthless scum in society, one less like him would make everyone happier.
