Call me Illya. (2)

2011-04-07T22:40:00.007+08:00

"If I will not succeed at becoming an angel, then I will turn into a demon. Before that happens, I ask, in my honor, to please decapitate me with your sword."

-Illyasviel [in a conversation with Marcus]

Call me Illya.

2011-04-04T13:49:00.010+08:00

I am Illyasviel, the dark sorceress from East of Gaea. I have been summoned to save you from the wretched hands of Mephisto and Baal. May we be delivered from the chaos that they will bring.

Actually, I've just started re-playing Diablo 2, I really missed this game. Although it is compatible with Win XP and Vista, it works just fine with Win 7, but with slightly distorted visual effects. Well, that won't stop me from kickin' some demon ass! Looking forward to getting my ass kicked by Mephisto too (I've always had a hard time defeating him)! My character is a sorceress that I named "Illyasviel", with the name borrowed from a character in Fate/Stay Night.

Hey Anyone. Thanks for coming by. This blog has been on the longest hiatus, I know. Well, I'm trying to peek into my brain as of now. I'll be back. For sure.

Thanks Betty.

Wish List No. 6: Tattoo

2010-06-25T16:53:00.012+08:00

I'm thinking of getting a tattoo on my back, just a bit below the back of my neck; one on each side. Like the picture below:

I have a couple of selections on the design of the stars:

However, I'm hesitating because I'm thinking about the difficulties of getting hired in some companies that doesn't honor or doesn't like people with tattoos. I'm also sure that my parents would object to it. I'm also sure that some of my friends won't like it.

Above all, I'm not sure if I can take the pain of having little needle punctures on my skin. haha! So it all comes down to pain. :P

Do you enjoy judging human beings even though you are one of them?

Malikmata

2010-05-24T20:10:00.005+08:00

A small case of malikmata while I was at the supermarket checkout counter; to me, the sign read:
"Please place your skeletons on the checkout. Thank you!"

I blame it on the Sandman for giving me bad dreams... But I liked them nonetheless. :D

Delilah Meets Samson

2010-05-17T23:04:00.004+08:00

Or is it Samson met Delilah?

But which ever it might have been,

It was a love, or perhaps an emotion that ended in tragedy.

Back From The Dead... Sort Of...

2010-05-10T22:34:00.006+08:00

In case nobody noticed, everyone's been askin' me where I've been... Well, I've been procrastinating, that's all.

Like I said, "That's all." :D

A Lost and Peaceful Day

2009-10-12T17:31:00.007+08:00

安らぎの次にはまた試練だって
そんな風に考えたら苦しくなるもんね

思い出は穏やかなままCry 残しておきたいのよ
波の音聞こえてくる

砂浜を裸足で駆け回っていた
嬉しくて嬉しくてAh 歌を口ずさんだ
故郷の空を見上げたりしてますか忘れてた忘れてた
Ah いつまでも泣いてちゃいけないね

G or No G?

2009-09-12T21:09:00.006+08:00

This is a picture my sister took of her current room... at first I noticed nothing weird, but after staring at it, I noticed that the "grills" or bars of the aircon were a bit bent or curved.

So anyway, I asked my sister if the bars of the aircon were really bent. She didn't answer right away, probably because she went to take a good look at her aircon. After a few minutes, she answered, "That's an optical illusion. Hahaha!".

I've apparently scared her out of her pants. Hehe... >:)

Ano Daw? Part 3

Okay fine!

Sunburn

2009-07-20T02:15:00.006+08:00

Drove by the dark sea yesterday,
In hopes of ridding of this burn;
And the more I thought about it
The more it hurt; Scarred, this red skin.

Perhaps a time more distant,
Or this passing breeze;
Could carry away this torture,
Seemingly an unending pain.

Ah, but there is no pain that is endless,
Possibly to cure it, by your spoken words;
So cold, and rigid,
And always never so sure.

Walked past the old mountains today,
My emotions wither like the gold green grass;
And maybe hoping for the fallen rain,
To alleviate my skin burn, a sadness just beneath.

Seeking no more of your vengeful words,
Spoken so vividly and added, your intense stare;
This cold is enough, the droplets so bitter,
Yet so satisfying, alas, no more cure is needed.

Ah, but there is no pain that is endless,
Possibly to cure it, with your broken words;
So cold, and rigid,
And always never so certain.

Just some lyrics I made for a friend...

Someday... :)

Overlapse (Continued...)

2009-03-28T23:11:00.006+08:00

The wild rays of the sun,
In this endless field we run;
Blinded but still we can see,
In this moment, we are free.

We laugh and lie down on the grass,
And hope silently for this memory to last;
Time passes like the wind carries the sand,
No longer would sadness be in our hands.

We close our eyes and imagine our beautiful lives,
And with joy, together our hearts beat in contentment;

Then we hold your hand and bid you Good Night,
Not Good Bye;

A thousand times Good Night...

This is the "original continued version" of Overlapse; posted originally in the other blog. It's originally dedicated to my Grandmother who passed away just last year of April. I'd finished the poem a long time ago... but had only decided to post it now. Special dedication also to Richelle Yu and Cezanne Chow; who both died of the Silent Killer.

Memory No. 2: An Almost Sunset by the Sea

2009-03-21T23:44:00.009+08:00

It was beautiful that day...
I even saw a ghost pirate ship:

Only Maybe

2009-03-17T22:32:00.015+08:00

An empty thought and a sudden impulse.
Abruptly and unconsciously, I felt the need to talk.
To you.

Perhaps to understand myself. Or perhaps not.
Confused; but only maybe.
Oh but I am and I cannot say.

What was there to talk about?
What was there to wait for?

Oh I forgot. What I've just thought about and said.
But humans we are.
And we just pass each other.
In parallel lines.
Always.

... And after these dots,
Did/Do I make any sense?

Title changed to "Only Maybe".

Piano Player

2009-03-06T21:31:00.022+08:00

There is a piano player, just a few floors down from where we live. I hear him everyday; practing short pieces over and over. I couldn't help but notice that each day, he gets better at playing each of these pieces. Perhaps this is silly of me, but I too, mentally keep cheering him on. Somehow, I envy him. I'd hope that I could be like him; passionate and determined to learn.

Sometimes, I stop by our building's sort-of-balcony just to hear him play the piano. Short, melodic pieces that somehow give me a feeling of peace. The other pieces that he'd practiced a few days ago were almost completed or perfect, at least for me.

There are a lot of other residents also in our building (well, obviously anyway), and sometimes I'd wonder if there'd also be people like me; taking a few minutes off of reality's time and stopping by just to listen to this beautiful melody.

Perhaps there are none. Perhaps there are plenty. Who knows for sure? But why should I care? As long as I appreciate it, other people's opinion wouldn't really matter.

And there is the piano player, sitting by his most priced possesion;
And he plays such beautiful pieces and catches our ear's attention.

What makes him fearlessly carry on?
What makes him conquer the world?

These questions we ask,
But mind he not;
For he knows that in his world,
There is only himself, and his piano.

And unconsciously, he fills the air with his sweet and soft melodies
That subtlely tell us that life is perfect, in all its imperfections.

Wishlist No. 1: Ear Piercing

2009-02-24T17:04:00.007+08:00

That's supposedly where I want to put another piercing. But then, it's still in my wishlist...

One Word

Laughter of the Day

Hearing my mom say "Bomb Diggity".

:)

Pink Alley

2009-02-03T21:59:00.013+08:00

When we met that day, you told me that there was a shorter way of going to that turo turo; and so I followed. I remembered walking a little slower to let you lead the way; funny how I thought that this was silly.

Ah~ but that day was a beautiful day. Such a serene and pure sky... and the wind was perfectly subtle... Kimochi ne... And we walked past several shops before turning into an alley. I thought that it was really cool... to suddenly have an old, broken-down alley amidst the tall buildings and expensive boutiques.

I wanted to tell you this, but you kept on wallking. I guess you must have been really hungry; sorry to keep you waiting. *Grins*

That Time

2009-01-26T23:25:00.017+08:00

We were on a beach... the wind was perfect and the sky was infinitely blue... Feeling the comforting heat of the sun as we watched the waves crashed into the shore... Feeling the soft sand beneath us as we slowly breathed the ocean air... Perfect, was everything...

Suddenly, you stood up in front of me, blocking my ocean's view... And you began to sing... Ah~ the sight of your back against the sun... And I could not see you clearly but I know that it's you; with your old guitar, strumming it so wildly... And I heard it, the song you sang, with your coarse voice; it's a bit noisy and lovely at the same time...

And the funny thing was, I was captured by it... simply because, you sang from your heart...

Inspired by the movie "Cape No. 7". :) I'm planning to put more parts of it... :P

Over Observation

2009-01-23T23:12:00.003+08:00

Is it a bit weird that the guy I'm standing next to is in a pink polo shirt, while I'm in an unbuttoned-checkered polo over a black t-shirt with skull print?

Ya think?

Negative Steak

2009-01-15T18:30:00.004+08:00

Remember my last entry about being around negative people? Well, it seems that, I'm in for a real challenge.

Because, everywhere I go, Negative people are around. So how can I escape? It's funny though, my mind is telling me that I'm the one who's making all these people negative. And that it's because I'm a non-conformist. And that that is why I'm having a hard time getting along. Again, what is it that makes these people so miserable? I thought that I'd seen selfishness before. But this is the very definition of selfishness. Right in front of my eyes. And I say no more. I figured that it's just how things work here. Am I supposed to accept that? Sure. You have to. But, you know me; you know that I won't accept it. I could continue on but I know that I'm not making anymore sense. And all you and I heard was "blah, blah, blah...", right?

Well, you are correct. And all this blabbing about such non-sense just made me crave intensely for a big piece of steak.

Yes. A big piece of STEAK please. Thank you.

It's called "gorging".

Ano Daw?

2009-01-05T20:51:00.004+08:00

Uh... You apparently must take the clean toilet bowl water after you've used it...? :P

Slip Into Happiness

Hmm... Perhaps it's another word for "men's salon"? :P

Needled.

2008-12-18T16:57:00.003+08:00

Left arm is currently hurting a bit and becoming numb.

Damn nurse.

Hehe :P erm... Happy Holidays..?

What Did He Say?

2008-12-16T11:52:00.002+08:00

The doctors said that it is ________. Don't worry, it is entirely a curable disease. So you've got plently of time.

Too bad? or Too good?

Celebrate?

2008-12-13T18:28:00.009+08:00

December na pala. Merry Christmas...?

Holidays here are, frankly, a deadbeat. It's like the march of the Black Parade, or the march of All Saint's Day Parade...Or is it just me? It's probably because it's me. I'm making my own holiday a bore. I should try to make this holiday enjoyable.

Heh. As I've told my friends, I'll probably be online in my Yahoo account on Christmas Eve. I'm thinking that I should be partying some place else. But where?

What is it that makes these people so miserable? Or is it I'm miserable? Maybe both.

Suddenly, I'm loving again this old Greenday song Deadbeat Holiday. How right (or perhaps how wrong) they are, there is still something left to celebrate:

"Deadbeat Holiday, Celebrate your own decay"

Roasted

2008-12-09T23:16:00.005+08:00

It's appropriate for the cold weather, I suppose... :P

I'm Sorry

2008-12-08T21:48:00.005+08:00

Last night, someone called my cellphone and said only "I'm sorry." when I answered "Hello?" and then he cut the line. I was puzzled and thought that it might be someone who called a wrong number. But then, why would he say sorry immmediately upon hearing my voice? If it was a wrong number, wouldn't he ask if he would like to speak to someone first? Thinking and murmuring to myself again the words I'm sorry; something struck me suddenly. Maybe it was him. Calling to say that he was sorry...?

Maybe.

Not In Revenge v.2.0

2008-12-06T11:07:00.007+08:00

I remembered again, when I was in junior high, I didn't have much acquaintances yet because I was new in that school. I always brought with me the "whole sheet of paper" that the teachers required; the paper was mainly for pop quizzes, activities, and such. I'd always share my share of "whole sheet of paper" whenever my seatmates would ask from me. I guess I was just *ahem* generous. :P

However, on one such ordinary school day, the teacher suddenly announced that there will be a quiz on the subject that she had just discussed. And very appropriately on that day, I had forgotten to "refill" my supply of the "whole sheet of paper". As a result, I had to ask from my seatmates. To my utter surprise, none of them had an extra sheet of paper. None. Nada. Nil. Not one. (T_T) I had to rumble through my bag to find a very nicely crumpled "whole sheet of paper" for the quiz. Luckily, a gentleman in the front seats handed me a better one. (-_-;)

Thinking about it now, I figured out that it was probably because I was too generous (or too stupid, for that matter). I should not have shared my extra supply of papers. I should have just left my seatmates to rot in their seats while I and the others who had the "whole sheet of paper" are taking the magical quiz.

So what now? (De ja vu...?) Should I go and search my old highschool yearbook for the names of my seatmates and have them kidnapped for ransom? Nah. I've certainly got better things to do. And of course, writing this down helped me clean out once again another dirt in my mind, if not, heart. :P

Not In Revenge

2008-12-05T13:39:00.010+08:00

When I was in elementary school, I couldn't figure out why almost everyone of my classmates hated me. As far as I remember, I never did anything wrong to them. I guess it was just the trend during those days. I could not really see why they would make fun of me. I remembered that I hung around with just one or two of my classmates. I was then *ahem* a quiet kid and had not much to say.

But then, remembering this now, I've realized one thing; it was probably because I never fought back. While most would say that it was right not to have fought back; but my mind tells me that it's because I never fought back. I never got my revenge. I never gave them the taste of their own medicine.

So what now? Should I go and search my old yearbook for each & everyone of my elementary school classmates and have them assassinated? Nah. I've got better things to do. But digging up this deep memory from my thoughts & writing this down helped me clean out another dirt in my mind, and perhaps heart.

Funeral For No One

2008-12-04T23:19:00.005+08:00

Last night, I dreamt that I was attending a funeral of someone that I do not even know. The strange thing was that the place seemed to be full, and yet, when I looked around, there seemed to be no one there. The only thing I remembered about the room was that there was a picture (probably of the dead person) placed by the wall, and some black ribbons. I don't remember seeing the casket as well; I just sort of knew that it was a funeral.

I seemed to have been there for a while, and then was suddenly seated down on one of the wooden benches, like those for funeral parlors. Before the "dream" came to an end, I turned to one of my best friends (she was suddenly there) and said: "I want you to sing for me when it's my funeral."

And then poof! I woke up and it was 8:30am. hehe... Well, I did a bit of a research on this, on dreaming about funerals, and this was what came up:

"To dream that you are at the funeral of an unknown person, suggests that something in your life is supposed to put to rest or put aside so that you can make room for something new. You need to investigate further what aspect or component of your life you need to let go."

There probably is some truth about the "something in your life must be put to rest or put aside so that you can make room for thing new" part, but the last part with one of my best friends was kind of strange...

Perhaps I wanted my best friend to sing for me when I've already gotten over those past & rotten things in my life? Haha! :P

Negative Burger

2008-12-03T10:38:00.001+08:00

I don’t need to be around negative people. That is all I know. However, the predicament is that, the people around me are, most of the time, negative. Even the people at home. So I end up always putting on my earphones & then listening to music whenever they start saying all those negative things.

Well I know that I can make it. Everything else does not matter. Just believe that you can make it; and of course, give it your best. The things that I keep telling myself.

This certainly won’t be easy, I know that, but… luckily, there’s that juicy burger from Burger King to keep me going… :P

Intro

2008-12-01T14:03:00.000+08:00

Hello Everyone! This is, again, Em. This is my second blog; I blog mainly at my other Blogspot blog. My URL for that is http://emilyofthenil.blogspot.com/. Please do come for a visit and leave your reactions/comments on it.

So anyways, I’m planning to use this new blog, probably mainly for more “free” or day to day conversations or subjects. I’ve also got a plan to post some of my captured pictures of different things & places here in HK. Well, I’ve got quite a lot of free time so sometimes I bring with me my camera whenever I go out for a walk; and then secretly snap on some things that I feel like capturing. I’m an AMATEUR, by the way, so don’t blame me for bad focus or shaky hands…

Well, til my next post! See you guys also on my Main blog.

Hehe... Sabi nga ni Glenn, "Ayan, meron ka nanaman blog na hindi lalagyan." True, so true. Haha!
