me and my sickness

so i woke up yesterday with a terrible headache. my eyes were hurting on top of that. but i still decided to go to the gym and work out. but right after i felt really sick and nauseated. i was feeling a heat within my body and not the kind of heat people usually associate with the body. i felt very sick by the end of the day...i was burning up. so i brought out the meds and really drank a lot. and last night was horrific. i couldnt sleep but i was really sweaty and perspiring and my shirt kept getting all wet. it was hard, but i got through the night. and here i am...already the next day and i feel fine. thanks to mom and dad :P. anyways im signing out. time to play some guild wars... and yes i do need the break. ive been editing my manuscript nonstop for days. i even finished one chapter last night and by the time i did, my body was ready to cave in.

bye :P_)

voter's registration

got inside the city hall at 2:30pm, left at 7:30pm. you wonder why? because the people who handle votes' registrations are stupid imbeciles that have no sense of time, responsibility, and obligation--in short: they SUCK! Yes, I live in the Philippines particularly in Quezon City and this is how they run things there: slow, glacial, and idiotically. They are the epitome of Filipino ugliness personified. I hate them. I hate everything there is to do with the government. And you ask why I still try to register? Because I want to fucking change this freaking country for the best and throw those people who are sucking all the money of hard workers and laborers. They simply must go. If you can't do your work, why did you even get the job? For money? Then your employer must have been stupid to hire you. So all of the people in COMELEC: go screw yourselves! I hate you all for making the Filipino people wait, dismissing the people who should had been registered, for letting snotty rich people slip cash and cut in line, and for letting people who are supposedly scheduled on a later date-come and register now. You are simply stupid, vile, and downright greedy. I trust the Lord shall do what he must to the likes of you.

querying update

okay so after sending around 20+ queries, more than half didn't reply. although, they expiry time of 4 weeks haven't clocked on. Though I'm afraid they are not going to respond anymore. So what I did, was to remake my query letter. And finally, I achieved the stellar kind. The stellar query I know would surpass everything. Anyways, I got my old grammar books back; and now, I'm brushing up on my punctuation marks. It seems as if I do need a lot of reading. Well, now I have to restart on editing and revising my manuscript. I'm holding query letters just as soon as I finish polishing the manuscript. And i believe, this time, i would reach my dreams (cliche' i know)

3 down... how long to go?

Okay since I have already sent out 10 query letters to prospective agents, I have gotten 3 rejections. One is from someone I totally didn't research on and the other someone I really thought I could make it with. But here's to hoping that my full manuscript we'll be requested and I will go on trying to break in the literary industry.

One fear that I think that keeps bugging me is that I'm Filipino and I do live in the Philippines. I mean how the hell would someone like me? Here in the Philippines.. Be able to publish something that was meant for international readers to the whole of the world. Well I just have to keep trying, right? I hope it all goes well.

The first query I sent out didn't do well as I have hoped, coming from one reject. And the new one I made not doing so good, coming from 2 rejects. Oh I do hope something good comes up.

Reforming the blog

Starting from now on, I won't be posting reviews and stuff like that. Instead I will be focusing on rants and raves about writing and my career on trying to become published.

Brothers and Sisters s03e07

In this episode of brothers and sisters, Kitty and Robert were meeting with their supposed to be birthmother until something annoying and stupid happened. Kevin tries to feel his way on the new job and the risks to it. Rebecca and Justin go through sweet young stages of love. Julia and Tommy go celebrate their anniversary in the Magic Manor which Sarah saves due to her new and young business partners. And Nora… again its about Ryan - meaning its about George.

What I don’t get about in this episode is Kitty's reaction to the birthmother. It seems a little bit disbelieving. I could only surmise that what she is looking for in a birthmother is someone like her in weird ways but wasted and stupid and winding up getting pregnant at some party she didn’t even get invited to. Kevin's all about gay alley again. I know that he's gay but it doesn’t mean that everybody is. I know its nice to be high and proud but what's the deal of having to always insist about being gay, when your being paid to handle your boss' problems not yours. Get over it. Rebecca and Justin, its just young love. It actually kind of feels a little bit nostalgic from all those teen love high school you see on other shows. What I don’t have clamor about is Tommy, Sarah, Saul and Nora. Their stories were all in character, or at least they're acting human enough.

Heroes s03e08: villains

This episode twisted back on the time when the villains of the series took part in their journey and somehow became heroes themselves. On that note, this episode tied loose knots to questions and made them connect to what was really happening. They made the story of the villains fit part of the journey of the heroes.

The episode was quite the storyteller type one. It was rather more of an explanatory way of dealing with the lives of the villains. Not much can be said in this episode, rather than good job for tying up the loose ends that people needed to understand more clearly. What keeps people interested is that the writers give out the secret and involvement of each characters in the series, making it a real story. But the writers still keep a whole lot of surprises in the next episodes.
