Never say no to Panda!

Today’s a bittersweet day for me. A true definition of “End starts a NEW BEGINNING” quote.

I’ll be saying goodbye to one of the best place *from my POV*  to work and start another that defines my real profession. This job I’m saying good bye to, nurtured my cheerful personality and made me feel home away from home. Sure, it has its downsides, especially when it’s peak season or when we’re one man down, but by the end of the day, we still have shits and giggles brewing.

by the end of a long day of work, this never fails to show up on my face

The nice and honest compliments customers give are a real heart warmer too. Every time I see a customer post a praise our effort, I get really happy inside. I mean, that sense of being complimented without even knowing that it’ll appear like that, is a real heart warmer.

Seriously, when I got the news that I have to say goodbye to this epic place, I had this tight knot brewing inside my entire body, and my head felt like a ton of  pressure was building up my head. I was close to tears while thinking of a less painful way of saying good bye. Sure, this job  isn’t that glorious, well paying but the experience was well worth it.

my face most likely when I tell my boss

So really, I dont know how to word my resignation. I dont know if I’ll have a straight face when I tell them I’m resigning. It feels like I betrayed them or something. Truthfully, I already saw this coming, but I never expect it to be this sudden.

I’ve talked to a couple of people to get their views on this matter, and logically, they have almost the same opinion about it. In a practical sense, yes, the path I’m heading to is much, much better and sacrifices are needed. But…

It’s really getting hard to type. My eyes are just watering up and I dont want to cry. I still have to work on my homework. I need to save my strength.

But really. It hurts. It really does. Its like, betraying your own family…

 

EDIT: EVERYTHING WENT LOLOZM. Boss was like “you’re fired!” I went “BUT I’M QUITTING?!”

 

GO KITTY!

MFW I failed at killing Raam of Gears of War for the XXXth time. (Around XXth time, I started using youtube references and such.) Its either those fucking Nemacysts or those shit Krylls, Raam’s not much of a shit, it’s those fucking non significant creatures who are dealing shits to my shit

A Randum Update: Of Weaboones, Protoss and LoLz

The past week had been a total roller coaster with all the random shittery and lulz rushing through. Ranging from being posted in 4chan by some racist hater fueled by a failed attempt on trolling me (basically called me a weaboo,  ugly ass bitch <I dont really mind since if this person’s standard of weabooness and beauty grades me as a epic Fail, Mexican <derp, Im not saying being called a mexican is offending, but its funny how this person labeled me as one just because of my last name and “doesnt know how to smile”), classes and all its glorious  brain decimating enlightenment to the life changing offer I’m facing right now.

But I guess the most significant highlight for the past week is *insert drumroll please*

Fucking Old School STARCRAFT! Not StarCraft II, STARCRAFT I!!!!!!

Yessiree! StarCraft! What most PC gamers call the “National Sport of South Koreans”! Not to mention, UC Berkeley even offers a STARCRAFT CLASS!

I’ve been into RTS for sometime now,  but after my old PC crashed*motherboardfried* on me, I stopped playing (duh, no PC to play with). So the concept of building, mining and spawning are old shits to me. However, call me a noob or something, but I suffered 5 losses out of 6 games I played on the first day. At first, I tried to reason out how I wasnt familiar with the build order and stuff, but fuck, 5 losses in a row means something is serious wrong with me. Its either I get crushed within 5 minutes or get last for 10 minutes before I watch my base burn into ashes.

mfw at 5 losses, 1 win

Second day came in and I’m getting a little better. I did some missions/tutorials and did fairly well with them. Then I asked a friend about how to devise a good strategy for playing while at the same time, doing some good build research. Feeling confident, played the game as Protoss race and was actually able to bring a base down. Lasted for a good half an hour before my  protoss base was purged by a nuclear attack ( terran) followed by 2 carriers(protoss). I was so close into winning too! I manged to clean out the Red Terran base and the Purple Terrans who were moving into the Red. But fucking carriers! Ripped my photon cannons, decimated my Dragoons, while massacring my Zealots and probes. I couldnt bear to watch the familiar ending.

Cant bear to watch as history repeat itself

Maybe because I didnt follow the guide when it said BUILD 6 FUCKING CARRIERS and spam fucking DRAGOONS, not fucking ZEALOTs. I only had 2 carriers built and decided it was a good number when it was able to crush the terran base. But I quickly realize that it’s no match for a fellow Protoss army when it was quickly brought down to bits. Before I could even spawn enough replacements, my base was swarmed with the “flies” and history has began to haunt me once moar.

Challenge Accepted, BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!

So lesson learned, new day’s coming through. Hopefully a day to redeem my long string of failures. I promise to get back on Gears of War when I win at least one skirmish! I swear!

On a different side note, I’ve been wanting to buy a Unit 02 and at least 2 Eva Series kits. I dont know why -3-

Preshading Tutorial ripped from the belly of the Net

So I’ve decided to take my part time hobby into full gear. Since I already got an airbrush set for Christmas, I really have no excuse to be lolcare about things. Especially after an 8-yrs-old kid won the Gunpla Builders tournament.

wtf is dis shit!

However, I realized that airbrushing isn’t as easy as I thought it would be. You have to consider the color/ paint mixture, base, the air pressure, and needle point. Not to mention the cleaning part and the usual shit. In addition to this concoction of lol, I’ve been wanting to try the pre-shading method. It has always mesmerized me how ozm those pictures on the gundam boxes.

But as always, it’s a ton of work and herping.

Nevertheless, it’s a challenge accepted!

Challenge Accepted!!!!!
