And There Goes Yet Another “Plan”

Much to my own surprise, I woke up early today.  I suppose the plan was to make the most of the day to study, but did I actually do so? Nope! Nope! Nope! What happened instead was... me going around cleaning my room, first by de-dusting the place, scrubbing the floor, sweeping away all that disturbed dust, …

Panic Time

The title kind of says it all.  I wasn't able to write anything today, and in fact I even had to backtrack on what I wrote yesterday.  This means that I've had a net production of ONE page for the whole LOA period so far. That is... Not good.  At all. So, panic time. Energy …

Recovery Is A Slow Thing

Apparently not all is lost, but boy, that quickly turned into an unplanned expenditure.  As the comment on yesterday's entry suggested, it involves the downloading and outright purchase of a recovery software.  Ugh, as if my credit card bill wasn't already large enough for BOTH credit cards.  Yep, the end of the year is looking …

That Didn’t Quite Work Out

Posting from the office.  Wasn't able to make a journal entry yesterday, as I was trying to see if moving all my game shortcuts to somewhere aside from the desktop would help me focus on what I needed to do (which is to say knock out pages of fiction to present next week).  It worked …

Still Nowhere Near Done

As advised, I went to school today to finish my thesis enrollment (and in the process turning down tatay and my sister, who were going for a walk with my nephew, as well as checking out a breakfast buffet at one of Mall of Asia's seaside restaurants).  Our adviser was there, and so I filled …

A Whole Day’s Caffeine, And Nothing To Show For It

So I wake up early, take a heavy lunch, and spend the rest of my day in front of the laptop trying to come up with something for my visit tomorrow to the department, all the while drinking cup after cup of coffee just to stay awake. Needless to say, I accomplished nothing for all …

Too Panicked To Care

Yeah, I'm actually in a rush right now, so as the title suggests I can't really put in anything long or thoughtful.  But if there were a word to describe my situation right now, it would again be: hellish.  Yeah, cramming sucks, and I'm feeling the side-effects of having to rely on energy drinks to …

Progress Report Again: For Saturday

Progress: Minor. Temperament: Desperate. I'd like to say that I was able to work on my rewrite today, but the going is slow, to say the least.  I really can't concentrate while I'm at home.  It's either there's too many distractions in my room alone (and my willpower failing me at resisting said distractions), and …

Step An Hour Back

Boy, was that embarrassing.  I went to work late because I forgot that, starting this week, everyone's schedules shift back one hour because of Daylight Savings Time.  It looks like I missed more than twenty-five minutes all told, and honestly I'm not too keen on facing my supervisor tomorrow because of it. Anyway, I've adjusted …

Turned The Pressure Up

With our professor back, it's back to business as usual for our class.  We did a rewatch of Pepot Artista (well, just to highlight how the story can stand on its own even when we take out the prologue and epilogue), before filling up the rest of the time with Children of Heaven.  I knew …
