twin sanity vs bant exalté

twin sanity deck

21 islands, 4 shelldock isles, 4 plumeveils, 4 sanity grindings, 4 twincasts, 4 cryptic commands, 4 dream fracture, 4 sleep, 4 time warp, 2 broken ambitions, 1 cancel, 4 jace beleren

sideboard

4 wall of frost, 4 memory plunder, 1 oona queen of fae, 4 flashfreeze, 4 vendilion cliques

pneu rechapé

1st round - the mind mage gets pummeled by the divine power of the angels summoned by the invoquer de bant exalté. with jenara l'asura (deva) de guerre, as sole champion, leading the assault, bearing the courage and hope of her armies, she flies across the battlefield and into victory

2nd round - the mind mage manages to wipe the invoquer de bant exalté's mind. one by one, each of the divine champions wastes away to oblivion until nothing were left save their silent and empty screams.

3rd round - the bant exalté armies successively bombards the mind mage's defenses in the artic. l'arpenteur bleu qui s'appelle jace beleren secretly infiltrates the enemy siege camps and deprives it's champions of their sanities (as it is quite well known in the universe that jace shuns loss of life).

moving forward

i couldn't sleep as usual without exhausting myself from ice cream, dota, cigarettes (very bad) and civilisation. i kept thinking of my obsession and how to move on from it. i saw angels in america again which gave me some good advice on how one should think about one's needs. first and foremost. i couldn't make myself believe despite the awful truth staring back at me. that it wasn't the same for you. like that mormon republican who thought that he was in love with someone he barely knew for three weeks. i am forced to repeat myself. move on max.

i did not fully understood what i was getting myself into. although a beeming red flag waved at me when i made my approach. most of my friends warned me against it and naturally i didn't listen. i didn't want to make the same mistake when i waited for things to happen rather than taking control of things. i reflecting if i feel any regret now that its over. that maybe it was better if i didnt give in. it was a risk i had to take. i took it with open arms. sans regrets.

it is at times like this when i miss k terribly. k was someone i had. out of all the people in the planet. here was someone who wanted to be with me. sigh.

k sent me a short pm the other day. it was good to hear from him even though we didn't actually talk about anything. it was about that thing he owed me. i didnt care anymore. i just want to move on. i didn't want to deal with it so i cut the messaging short with some lame excuse about playing dota. which i did do.

i am also getting worked up from anticipation. less than a week from today i'd be passing a letter. and a month after that, i'd be free from the craziness. i'd say the system their using depends on heroes under the guise of being more but unnecessarily strict.

this by far has been the most mind boggling company i have ever worked for. and i have been in the industry for more than a decade now.

1. unreasonable schedules
2. discouraged code reviews
3. scandals when bugs are found
4. a disputable sense of quality control
5. unappreciated efforts
6. unsustainable pressure level

vivre sans regret

ah oui .. les choses qu'on fait pour l'amour n'ont pas des limites. hier soir, je suis allé à QC près de UST pour récupérer quelque cartes qui manquent de son deck. j'ai pensé qu'il serait te faire heureux mais apparemment ça n'est pas marche. sigh. ok lang max. tu as fait de ton mieux. je veux être le meilleur ami qu'il peut compter.

je veux dire que je veux vivre sans la crainte d'aimer et sans rien attendre en retour. but this is bullshit. i do hope for something (anything). it is for this that i need to compensate for my deficiency in youth and lack of pleasant apperance when i serve the one i care for. the beast serving belle. wether or not it is returned is no longer a matter of importance when living without regret. i make the best i can. my new motto. ^_^ i try to put it out of my mind and in so doing i am probably doing what i was preaching earlier.

j'ai essayé de sortir avec des autres gens mais jusqu'ici je n'ai pas de la chance. qui veut sortir avec quelqu'un comme moi .. sigh T_T ...

bon anniversaire maman!

incident at my parents. papa took a walk around and fell i am guessing. it was hours before some samaritan brought him home. he is so weak now. unable to move an inch, unable to focus, and talk as he used to. he's exhibiting very odd behaviour. odd even for him.

i took a few smokes around the corner after a rather depressing epiphany. when i got back. i saw a couple of guys at the gate with papa leaning on to one of them. i knew something happened and hurried. they told me everything. i thanked the guys for bringing papa home. i wish i could have done more like pay for gas. but it dawned on me late the proper etiquette. i slowly walked papa inside giving him bits of encouragement. but i am genuinely worried. i think it is only a matter of time now.

it started a week or 2 ago when the family had lunch at the festival mall to celebrate my brother's birthday. i told mama that we have to prepare for the worst. i strongly feel this is it. i am not sure how i feel about it. i am sure of one thing. i would feel sorry for mama because i know she loves him very much. to us children though, we grew up while he was abroad and so we failed to create that bond.

mama and my sister ruth went to a wedding dinner today at the manila hotel (wow sosyal! joke!! héhé). it was great to see them all made up. i don't get to see them like this everyday.

j'aime bien ma famille .. sigh

i picked up a book isaac asimov robot series. so it should be an interesting read for the next few days at the least. i don't get to read much these past few weeks. but i think i have time again.

i liked his ideas on the distinction between robot-menace and robot-pathos. astroboy would be robot-pathos. while robocop would be robot-menace? héhé. but what about borgs? borgs aren't exactly evil the way we normally think of evil. borgs want to improve the lives of assimilated species. etc ..
