Finally, I’ve finished the exams for this semester….well…not really. I just found out something really shocking at the end of the second last paper (I had 6 papers this sem). It was miserable. Heh.
But looking back at the progression of the exam I realized that it reminded me of an RPG style scenario typically found in most Role Playing Games that I used to play. Therefore, I have taken the liberty in describing my experience in such a manner as if you are playing a RPG which can be seen/read below.
“…It was time at last. After level grinding for what can be seen as an eternity(4months) and multiple side quest later(in which some side quest were basically abandon or failed completely) Ihad finally reached the front gates of the ultimate FREAKING lair of the FINAL boss of the game. Seeing how this was not a typical Square-Enix RPG you are to fight and end the game all by yourself. So basically helping your other party members to level up and get the best equipment of the game is a waste of time.
So in a typical fashion you go pass the short dungeon before reaching every boss fight. So last minute leveling are definitely a must(every night). The first boss was scary, at first I thought that I did not bring enough items, leveled enough or even used the best weapon and armour I can find but then again surprisingly the battle was quite okay. Second boss was a bit tricky. Barely defeated that one. 3rd one wasn’t a problem. 4th one was a bitch and it said “THIS IS NOT THE END!!!” when it went down. Typical boss death quote I tell you but I do hope it stays just that.
Anyways, after the 4 previous bosses are what we usually call in RPG’s as sub-bosses who appears before the main boss fight to soften you up before the final battle. The fifth one? The ultimate uber boss that you fight of the entire game. Over 9,000,000,000 HP, high stats and also multiple status and element resistant. It was INSANELY HARD. Really, it was. I died. The only action I was able to do was to select the ‘attack’ command once and I got stepped on for a whopping 99999 damage. WOOT! My damage inflicted? Well…1…maybe. And I suspected it was pitying me for that. I could have sworn i saw it shed a small tear.
Interestingly, I was allowed to sit for a battle with the six boss which was in fact can be considered a mini boss fight. Any boss fights or battles after the final boss are mainly just for show in RPG’s cause you’ll definitely win. End of game.”
Anyways, it seems I have to fight the final boss again from the last save point to unlock the ultimate game achivement of being able to proceed to the next level. Not to mention, apparently all this while I have been fighting the wrong 3rd boss. It seems to be an optional boss that I was not suppose to fight and now I have to refight the REAL 3rd boss in order to get the FULL TRUE ENDNIG. Heh. They both look and named almost the same. It was confusing. I blame the game maker for making such confusing menus.
Sigh. I hate my life…and here I thought I had it all figured out and yes my words are cryptic.

I have always liked working at PC Fair. The crowd is always huge and its interesting to observe and meet new people. Especially if they are customers that I have to serve. This part usually reminds me to be humble as I am now serving somebody instead of the other way around. That does not sound right but anyways other than for my personal and financial gain I usually get along fine with the people I’m working with. That is…until today.
Microsoft is fine. The IN2 marketing people and the part timers are fine as usual although it’s a totally new batch of people I’ve not work with before other than my friend Joe. But the Thundermatch distributors and their part timers are FUCKING USELESS BARBARIC INGRATS. Well some of them anyways. Especially their guy in charge. Brainless moron.
RAGE!!!!!!
I’ve always showed my fellow colleagues respect in the workplace and I have always received the same as I was working for Lolitech Logitech previously. This time they did NOT respect any of the IN2 part-timers that was FUCKING HIRED by Microsoft themselves. Me included. WHAT…THE…FUCK???!!!
I know they have a commission with every product they sell but so do we. Can’t we get along? Must they come up to my customer’s face as I am serving them and giving my all while they try to intervene and steal MY customer in front of my face? And when I complained to their ‘leader’ he say
“Oh, that means that they are aggressive and we hired the right people. You should be aggressive too!”
Aggressive? Me? You don’t wanna see me aggressive. I do scary stuff when I’m aggressive. I was being nice so that the customers did not RUN AWAY!!!!! If I were aggressive I’ll call them to FUCK off in which what I will be doing tomorrow if it happens again.
You set a target and I’ll try my best to hit the target. I hate working for people but when I do I give it my absolute 150%. Now THAT is called professionalism. That is something that was filled with when I was with Logitech. IT WAS FUN. That made working at PC Fair so much less tiring and painful. With the teamwork we had every target was a challenge and over exceeding the target was joy for all of us.
Too bad some people are so caught up in their caveman mentality that they forget what is it to have fun working just for a few extra bucks and I really mean a few extra bucks. I hope these morons are happy cause at the end of the day I’m still gonna earn more than them anyways. Bastards.
I’m so regretting this now.

I have to admit I’m feeling a tad depressed right about now. Although I pretty much had fun during the weekends I still feel empty somewhat. I do have to add that its been that way for quite some time now. Don’t get me wrong here I actually feel fine with the standard amount of work, studies and social and personal responsibilities that is. But still…I don’t know. Something’s missing from the equation.
Maybe I’ve lost my purpose in life. Maybe I’ve forgotten what is my life purpose. I know what I have to do and need to do that’s for certain but…what’s my reason for being?
In anycase, I need to find back my raison d’tre.

A rose by any other name is still a rose
When you start to have feelings for someone you like it just comes. You might not be looking for it but it comes to find you and kicks you in the groin. Just like suddenly getting hit by a train. It just comes. Okay so maybe not really getting hit by a train as you’ll be able to hear it coming long before you even see it. So maybe a bus then. But anyways, yeah the feeling just rushes forward like a tsunami and nothing can stop it no matter what you tell yourself.
