So, Ariane (one of my very best friends) made me a new trainer card!

It's so cute, I simply have to post it here:

Well, what do you think? Nice, ne? And it matches my taste too! Now, I'm making this my forever first post too!

And since it's my forever first, let me tell you a bit of how this blog runs.

This blog mainly serves as my personal journal, wherein events of my everyday life could be seen. Please respect what is written here, so we'll all be in good terms. The tagboard is one of my links here, so just browse by my links section and see the pop-up tagboard link there. You can then post your coments and tags on there. Besides these, feel free to browse every section and page!

EDIT: I told Erina (my friend and PKMN-ph member) that I will be using her banner on my blog... but it's still this for now.... Gomen, Erina! However, her banner is up to behold at the photos section of my blog. ^_______^

EDIT 2: I will now be publishing on http://ryuji-life.blogspot.com/. I will still be visiting this blog.. however, for comments and whatever....

That's it for now! Sayonara, minna!

Well, since classes have ended for the week... let me tell you about my whole first week at the new university.

Day 1: Monday

- No classes. Independence Day holiday

Day 2: Tuesday

- The Freshmen Orientation day. It was very grand! All the deans and the chancellor were there! They gave us the basics of studying at UP Manila.

- After that... we had funtime in Robinsons' Place, Manila. Ate Sario, our FBC, was there too! Tom's World = F.U.N!

- 4:00pm -- College and Course Orientation. And I thought Chem never overloaded my course! (laughs) That seminar turned into an instant trauma session.

- Went to my ol' high school, MaSci, afterwards. My friends were surprised and happy to meet me again!

Day 3: Wednesday

- NSTP from 8am-12nn supposedly. However, the prof was not there. Bonding time with the other block, and socialization time too! However, a minor accident occured. It was just minor..... anyway.

- Robinsons' time again! This time, I had the chance to sing at the KTV in front of my blockmates. I hope it was a hit! Judging from their applause, might be a yes (yessss!!!).

Day 4: Thursday

- Normal classes for us. Comm 1 from 7am-8:30am. After all of us entered, a lady entered the room. I thought we saw another classmate then, for she looked as young. But when she said the words, "Yes, I am your Comm 1 teacher..." OMG! And I even asked her to turn on the aircon! She was fun, however, and we had a nice time with her.

- Soc. Sci from 8:30am-10am. Our prof was the College Secretary of the College of Arts and Sciences. Nice prof too!

- Math 17 from 1:30pm-2:30pm supposedly, now requested by our prof (who also looked as young as our Comm 1 prof, but with a more teacher-ly aura....) to be changed into 1pm-2pm. Earlier dismissal! Yay! However, I have a feeling that this'll be a haaard subject.

Day 5: Friday

- PE at the SSWC. We had an orientation. LOL-ed at the orientation of the final examinations, however. A 5 KILOMETER "FUN(???)" RUN?! That is... circumnavigate the Diliman oval 2 times in 45 minutes. Whoa!

- Math 17 again. We had a nice discussion, and a pretty hard one too!

- Lunchtime has come. Tried to find space at Robinsons' but to no avail. We ended up at the CAS cafeteria.

- History 1 time. We had a very intelligent and kind prof at this subject. He really did seem to have read history books a thousand times each book, for he can recall them with ease.

- Nat Sci at last! Our last subject for the day! A very kind prof too, and considerate! We had a nice time altogether in this subject.

Well... that'l be it. I'm sorry for the shortness of the events though, I am a lot tired from this week's school. Good night! 

Now, I have just finished Pokemon Philippines' family tree!

After ages!

Yehey! Now, I can show it to the fellow members.... and they'll be glad to see it!

Imagine how many IMs and confirmations it took! (laughs)

Yesterday, I went into this wonderful event at the SMX Convention Center in the Mall of Asia. There were so many events that happened, all so exciting that I don't know how to tell it to you. So, I'll just babble here on what happened as I recall them.

Before I went inside, I saw a familiar face at the door. I thought I was just imagining, for I couldn't clearly conceive the idea of her being here in such convention. But when she said hi to me, it was confirmed. She was my cousin, Ate Grace. She told me why I was in the convention, and after telling her my purpose, she said that she will be managing one of the booths there (specifically, the E-Games booth) and followed up by telling us that an installer of the games will be given for free once we register there. I wasn't much of a gamer though, so my friend Nica took advantage of the offer. However, she forgot her E-Games username and password, so no installer for her! (laughs)

After that, we took pictures of the people cosplaying inside the hall. I liked the cosplayers so much, especially the pictures we took of the two Mokona girls and the Powerpuff Girls Z trio! They got the details so much, and was greatly fashioned too! So, it resulted in me taking 20+ pictures (all of them of which I would upload here) of the cosplayers. Sorry for the blur in some though, I just took them with my 2MP camera phone.

We went to the Mangaholix exhibit next, in which the pictures of different manga characters were posted. I took some pictures of that too, and will be seen in my blog's photos page too.

As you may have noticed, I didn't mention about lunch after these events, and you could guess from now that we are so tired and hungry. So, we took lunch at McDonalds. After the break, we went back again to the convention to enjoy the rest of the convention.

Then, the most surprising event happened right there and then! I saw one of the PokeRangers (admin) of my forum, Pokemon Philippines! And how I was waiting for a PKMN-ph staff to appear! We took pics (my picture with him was in his camera though, so I think I should borrow it from him after I make this post) and took one of him and Nica (my best friend and also a PKMN-ph member) which could also be seen there in the photos page.

We went out of the convention early and went to Timezone for our final enjoyment period. Glazy (one of my dearest friends) and I hitted the Dance Dance Revolution floor and the Percussion Master (Nica won this one, for she was a drummer...). After that, we finally rested a bit and set on our journey home.

Altogether, it was so nice a trip that it was one that I could actually remember from this year's summer. It made my day, and most especially, my summer!

I know, sorry for posting these again, but they tend to get really entertaining!

Here's one of my results. It's Blogthings' What Color Is Your Aura Quiz.

Your aura color is Yellow!

You're a deeply happy and content person, and you enjoy sharing your cheer with others.
While you may seem like a simple optimist, there is a lot of thinking going on inside you.

The purpose of your life: bringing joy and a better life to others

Famous yellows include: Conan O'Brien, Jenny Mccarthy, Jim Carrey

Wow! Nice evaluation! And I like how they evaluate too! ^________^

Here's one now... it's about my power color.

Your power color is Teal!

At Your Highest:

You feel accomplished and optimistic about the future.

At Your Lowest:

You feel in a slump and lack creativity.

In Love:

You tend to be many people's ideal partner.

How You're Attractive:

You make people feel confident and accepted.

Your Eternal Question:

"What Impression Am I Giving?"

Now, I'm getting more and more convinced that Blogthings is my stalker. How did they know this?

And, last... is about what kind of names I'd like to have.

You like names that are cunning and exotic.

You love creative names and names from foreign cultures.
You believe names should be expressive and interesting.

You like names that are unusual, striking, and powerful.

That's what it is then, ja~! I'd see you for my post tomorrow on the Mangaholix AniManGaming Convention! I'd post pics too!

And so, I tried many name engines.....

This one is my Wizard LOTR name:

Radagast the Simple

I like the feel of the name... and a nice one too!

This one, now, is my Japanese name:

Ryuji Sato

How kawaii! I think this'd be my new screen name! Yay!

And last, my Chinese name:

Liu Kuan Ling

Nice... really Chinese! If only I knew what's Chinese for cool... this is over the board!

So there goes my name venture... part 2. Have a good time, all!

Okay, I know it's boring but....

It's quiz results again!

You like to hang at book stores because its always soo peacefull in there, its a place where you get to think. not to mention u like too read to. you always keep trak of what you spend and how you spend it even of it takes about and hour longer!!" --- Quizilla's What Kind of Shopper Are You?

That'd be all for now... until tomorrow, people ^________^ 

Today, we discussed in church about one of the Bible's most amazing men, Elijah.

Let's do these quotes in a quote-per-quote evaluation:

"There are many things in life that seem like rocks, but in reality, they are diamonds."

Yes. This was not in a way related to Elijah though. It was related by our pastor to share. It's very true that we have personal qualities that make us look upon them as rocks, but, actually, they are the ones that would make us shine better in life!

"The steel of a person's character is forged on the anvil of one's times. And often, the darker the times are, the brighter the soul that stands against them shines."

The period Elijah's living in is what we consider as the "Dark Times" of that period, because then, the god they worshipped was Baal, and God was rarely even worshipped. That's when Elijah, with his ever corageous soul, came out and stood against their king, Rehobaum.

"God looks for ready instruments..."

I didn't finish copying the whole of this quote, but what I know about here is that the Lord looks for someone who has a soul good enough to face the challenge, and is ready to depend his whole life on God alone.

"God's methods are often surprising, sometimes even illogical!"

Our pastor said here, "Why does God send out a David to face Goliath, and prayer with some of the worst catastrophes the Bible has had?" Indeed, it's true, but even these illogical methods made all the change!

"False guilt comes when you live under other people's expectations and fail -- you develop feelings of shame when you are reminded repeatedly of your inability to perform at a level of peer or parental expectations."

It was the time our pastor mentioned in the Bible about a widow and her son, that when Elijah came into their home, the woman said, "Why do you come here, man of God? Are you here to question my sin and take my son away from me?" That was when the quote applied. But, in truth, many people seem to reflect this on their lives, when they felt they have achieved because they have made people happy in a sense that he met their expectations, and when they fail... it is the same way too.

So, there ends our venture for today! Wait until I finish Narnia... and I will collect quotes there too (smiles).  

I was browsing the net today until I found some of these pics on The Ghost of Razgriz's photostream. These pics are so nice and full of MOE material, that I can't stop gazing over at them endlessly.

If you want to check them out, they are the pictures of Dawn from the Photos section of my blog (smiles).

I encourage you to visit his photostream for more of this Pokemon goodness! You can guess how much I screamed when I saw them ^_________^

At last! My parents allowed me to see this!

It will be on the 31st, at SMX in the SM Mall of Asia.

How I would love to see what the people would look like in their costumes!

Oh... I can't wait!
