Ewww…feelings!
Anyway, done with my polygraph. Let me tell you all something…that guy really pissed me the hell off, too. He started acting like I was a huge asshole and was getting demanding.
At least I only hit on two questions, but the two questions that I hit on floored me when he said what they were: Illegal drugs and drinking on the job.
I drink once every three to four months because I'm just not big into the booze and going out. I've also never taken any illicit drugs, including marijuana, though because of training I know what it smells like in both just smoked and fresh forms.
Finally figured out that the "illegal drugs" wasn't to "illegal drugs", it was that I had taken an 800mg of Ibuprofen in the academy back in October, which I had forgotten is a prescription dosage when in a single tablet *RME*
The drinking on the job thing is retarded, too. He asked me, "Have you ever had any alcohol when on the job in the past five years." Of course I said that I hadn't, because I haven't, and he asked if we had any office parties where we were on the clock and drinking. Well, no, because most of our employees are free lancers and we don't make a habit out of throwing parties because of that…like ever. So he asked if I have a cubicle or an office…I was like, "WTF?" So I let him know that I do it ALL FROM MY HOME on my computer and e-mail the finished product or ship out the DVD/CD when needed at the post office. He groans and then asks, "Oh, at any time did you have a project and either almost finished or while working on it, go to your refrigerator and have a beer?" That, of course, made me say, "Oh, yeah, when I was working on the website I had a Blue Moon." His response? "I guess I should have asked if you had any alcohol on the job against company policy." So I just told him, "The answer would still be no since my father generally doesn't care when it comes to me and the computer work."
Of course he throws a bit of a fuss about it, but says he'll just hand score the rest of the sheet now, but everything else looks good.

I'm glad to have an uncle who is sorta like my 'political adviser'. :)
He has offered me very intelligent advice on how to juggle family and work politics. Most of the stuff he says I already know. Though only in theory that was learned from books and reading the internet.
He learned it the hard way. More 'hands on' which meant more failures in the past.
Now his track record got him at least pretty ahead in life. He is a senior level accountant in his company. In Philippine Pesos, his salary is slightly lower than mine but back in the Philippines that is enough to afford him a better place than where I live.
Anyway he was very helpful in advising me on how to deal with other family members.
Thats how it is in Asian families. We have to worry about familial politics. Though I may sound racist by saying its only 'Asian', it doesnt matter what racial/religious/or cultural background you may have. Familial politics is a very vital skill that can differentiate success or failure in life.
For instance, I have heard stories of people in their late teens/early 20s who just leave their homes because they couldnt stand their parents. Often ending up in low-paying dead end jobs or as homeless people with no skills.
I could have easily taken the same route at age 14. I just didnt get along with my parents. The relationship was just TOXIC. Originally I had a plan to run away from home then get myself adapted by some children's center in the Philippines that was run by the Catholic Church.
However that plan didnt come into realization because I figured that it would take alot of sacrifice on my part to SIGNIFICANTLY lower my standard of living. I'd be eating poorly-made rice and soup mixture that passes off as 'chicken soup' for the most part. And maybe things like fish and meat would be considered 'luxury'.
During that time, I was from a middle class family background which had a decent amount of luxury. Things like air-conditioned rooms, video games, were the stuff that kept me 'tied down'. That is why as time passed, I tried my best to avoid getting tied down by luxury and conveniences. I refuse to be brainwashed by video games like MMORPGs and try to 'keep up with the Joneses'. I also refuse to indulge in too much drugs and alcohol and blow my money on prostitutes. Those kinds of behaviors will be your enslavement. Especially if you do not have the means.
I drive a car that I bought for $2000, and my cabinet has at the most, 5 pairs of clothes. I havent bought clothes in YEARS and if I do buy clothes, I get it from Salvation Army or Value Village. I refuse to be enslaved by overpriced brand names. Dammit. How the fuck can a SWEATER cost in the hundreds of dollars because of some silly old brand name. Its the same thing. Its probably made in some sweat shop in China or India while these fat cat corporations rake in profits while brainwashing the youth that they will 'look cool' or be 'popular' by wearing their products.
They dont care if the youth will act like 'gengstas' and 'hos'.
Anyway…
Politics. Is a balancing act of giving concessions and saying 'NO'… which can yield beautiful results like make friends out of former 'enemies' (or at least get benefits from them).
Things like 'love' which is sorta magicalized by organized religions and big corporations is only a product of political/social skill. A mere manipulation of people's emotions.
Right now, in dealing with my parents, I've sent mixed messages and created distance. Which is actually successful because nowadays they've been more 'warm' and 'loving' to me. The strategy is basically create a long period of silence and withrawal, then after about a month or week or any time duration, shower them with attention or gifts… or talk to them for hours on the phone while inserting religious tones in my dialog and with a calm tone of voice.
Same thing with distant relatives. I've succeeded in improving relations with other family members.
Maybe thats the reason I was put here on earth. To be a unifying force in the family. Now I feel important. lol!
The best part of my New Years Eve is the Twilight Zone marathon. I have no place to go and nothing else to do…
I just ate the last Chinese food of 2007 and about to take the last shower of 2007.
Hard to imagine that this time last year I was in New Jersey with my girlfriend at a party with more celebrities than I can even remember seeing…
First New Years Eve I'm actually not doing anything…damn…
I have a rant…
Why is it that the music in clubs or for live bands is always turned up so f**ken loud? The sound becomes nothing more than a roaring shriek, it's horrible.
Do people who man amplifiers have no hearing or just no brain?
It's like old people who have all the colours on their TVs set to super saturation mode… and turned up to the highest level too unsurprisingly.
another new year started alone….but it doesnt sound like the guy up stairs started it alone……

ode to windows vista:
i hate you windows vista.
i hate you with all i am.
o, it takes such skill,
to design something that fails at life.
alls you have to do is play my anime.
but no,
your latest update screws over WMP,
saying something about media sharing has to be activated,
and then freezing up.
i hate you windows vista.
i hate you with all i am.

i think my computer is about to crash…if i never see you again…i have always loved you….
You know how I was complaining about eye strain? While I still think that's some of the problem…I do believe there is something else wrong…at least with my left eye. I always have bits of mucus coming out of it (I'm sure you all loved hearing that), the eyelids are a little swollen, and it just feels really strange when I shut it. (Takes me some time to fall asleep because of it.)
I'm starting to think I either have an eye infection, really bad eye allergies, or something else. Maybe I over-worked it so bad it's about to fall out! =D
I also have another problem that's even more worrying….but I don't think it's something you guys want to hear about. XD
Im pretty much happy that DD has grown to a great extent since it was revived after the cataclysm (more member for us woppeee!). I know that im not as frequent to the forums as i was before, but still, the number of morons in the forums just keep on rising.
Its just an opinion. Im not sure if its just a factor of how many members weve got (cmon near 50,000, theres bound to be a few hundred irks) or the nicer ones arent just as frequent here as before.
I cant complain about it though, ive been to several forums and they have far more worse members than here.
I'm angry that everything I'm angry about seems pathetic in comparison with other people's problems. Being either happy or angry about this contradicts everything I was raised to believe was right. This is making me doubt my upbringing which in turn is making me unsure of what's real and what isn't.
Stop making me question my own existence you bastards.
Edit: I just realised that this gives me something to be legitimately pissed off about. Never mind then.
I've just got BK[Shattered Hate] published through lulu.com
I'll post up my photo and video evidence of that claim later on. :)
I've noticed that the more knowledge you gain, the dumber an old comic looks like. That stuff was written (script form) as early as 2002. Much has changed. However I have no plans to re-do that. I'd just continue to develop the MAG-ISA story arc.
I actually got a trilogy idea in mind:
1) MAG-ISA (my latest comic Im working at now thats so far in the 2nd chapter)
2) PARA SAYO (intended sequel for MAG-ISA. Scripting stage almost done)
3) MAHAL KO (the 3rd part in the trilogy)
Any Filipino here with basic knowledge of Tagalog will know how those 3 words would translate if put together. (Mag-isa para sayo mahal ko) :D
There's just a slight possibility that the ones who 'screw up' don't respond.
…But I have just responded, so that cancels out my statement.
Why is it when people say 'school is a safe place' more and more, I have the tendency to gradually not believe them? Is it because my school can't fund certain things that we need (such as books), and spend it on things that we don't even need? It took half of my school year for the staff to afford a clock to put in the cafeteria.
Plus, they are not supportive of my (less than amazing) accomplishments whatsoever.
I have no school spirit. I never will.
There really needs to be a cutting down of the gay jokes, gay insults, and gay innuendos in the top drawer. It was "cute" with a few people at first, now it's just over used and annoying. Some people just seem too attached to give it up, like it's their "thing". I'm not gay and I don't "support" gays, but there is a limit even for me.
Someone showed me a picture which is a "dark goddess" in some sort of Internet game and that picture looks goddamned awful, and now I am furious with whoever made this picture, and those who felt they can upload such an abomination. (Not with the one that showed it to me, he did tell me that I might not want to see it…) I am going to write them angry letters. I know it's just a game and that therefore they feel/think/theorize they needn't take it seriously, but this is just too much.
Even if one doesn't feel anything special about any dark goddess that picture is just plain ugly and ridiculous.
