in the name of zero

ain’t she the cutest!!!!!!?????? i’m soo… like… smitten! but geez! i can’t believe i’m in love with a damn drawing!

they could have gone all the way… but no… they mellowed down the ending into a mediocre open-ended love drama. THE NERVE! i hate the scriptwriters for messing with my heart like this!

female characters who can’t seem to handle their own feelings screw up a good story’s mood.

exhibit a - chiharu (boys be)

high school love turned sour. apparently, they still remained friends. or at least that’s what i think after the season’s last episode. i hate her.

exhibit b - oboro (kouga ninja scrolls)

oboro was from the iga ninja clan. in the anime version (basilisk), her eyes were known as the “ninja spell breaking eyes”. no form of ninjutsu can work against her. using a ninja technique on her proved to be fatal for the caster. her lover on the other hand also has special eyes. kouga gennosuke of the kouga ninja clan. in the anime version, he is able to use the enemies’ techniques (physical or ninjutsus) against themselves. just by staring at them. at the end of the story, the guy (gennosuke) let oboro win. i hate her.

exhibit d - mikumari (samurai 7)

i hate her.

exhibit e - xiao long nu (return of condor heroes 2006)

acted by “crystal” liu yi fei.

very cute. very pretty. very sexy. godlike gracefulness. excellent martial arts. but she gave yang guo heartaches so painful, it will make even the devil cry. i’m also tempted to say “i hate her”, but (altogether now) very cute. very pretty. very sexy.

exhibit f - so seo no (ju mong)

acted by han hye jin.

now, here’s a girl who’s strong. she’s got the business skills to rival bill gates. seriously. then she began showing signs of weakness later on. she married wu tae to avoid marriage with dae so but she loved ju mong deep down.

i finally finished watching the entire season’s last episode ten minutes ago, and i must say, all that drama about “self exile” and giving way to the rightful “first wife” (ye so ya) was abso-fucking-lutely unecessary. i still haven’t made up my mind if i hate her or not.

so is there any female character out there who’s not pathetic? yup! lacus klein - gundam seed.

thanks for your time.

congratulations manny pacquiao! and to you too, eric morales.

the other day, i was extremely bored. so bored, in fact, i actually talked myself into playing pokemon. but it was my first time to play a gameboy game on linux so i had to do some digging.

wow, researching only took like… 5 seconds. lovely. let me take this opportunity to brag my lvl 36 red gyarados too.

now, i’m hooked.

[ out of the blue personal project ]
school work is slowly getting the better part of me. that’s bad news. anyway, yesterday, i ditched class to start working on an idea that popped in my head (mainly because i found a new inspiration) for my very own crackme. it will be a very easily crackable crackme. no challenge whatsoever. in a nutshell, i’ll mainly be implementing a simple encrypted binary (hopefully with lots of pitfalls) thru the use of a polymorphic elf virii engine attached at a defined place where i fancy. i still haven’t gotten to the encryption and polymorphic engine part but at least i’ve made some progress with e_entry hijacking.

some rough ideas for the crackme:
a fully working elf binary would have an entry point defined in the e_entry section of its header. i’ll manually infect a program to attach the code fragment somewhere. distort every byte at the executable section and then update the entry point to the start of the decryption loop i inserted.

so onto the subject matter at hand - e_entry hijacking.
(more…)

so i went to school today to attend classes for the first time because my classmates gave me the impression that our philosophy 104 (philo of religion) teacher was a “business is business” jackass. by far, my only real reason for going to school. the color of the day was pink. and the campus was breeming with freshies. i’ll try keeping my thoughts organized today by outlining things from the most significant-important to the least.

[ chicks ]
xandra l was wearing pink. for the first time, i saw her hair untied. was speechless (shocked) so i ended up just pinching her arm. i gave her a second glance though as she walked away. she’s my new love interest.

chris e l was also wearing pink. her cheeks were soo pink too! still small, still cute. and i’m quite happy that my philo classroom is close to her philo classroom! i guess i’ll be seeing more of her this semester-philo time. not to mention, she has cute-sexy classmates as well…but i guess that goes with being a female accounting student anyway. along with that, they’re also the type who’d ace exams and the like. i’ll be glad to see a cute-sexy female accounting student who doesn’t capitalize on getting high grades while being cute-sexy at the same time.

unknown girl at the back canteen who was also wearing pink.

[ subjects and teachers ]
so they’re still teaching assembly in ateneo de zamboanga till now. luckily, the teacher was absent. the other cs teacher was also absent. another plus. i was not in the mood for any lessons afterall. and lastly, our philo teacher turns out to be your average strict professor jerk. i’ll try staying on his good side.

[ no more middle schoolers ]
high school has transfered to the new ateneo site at tumaga. no more younglings. there goes another way of life. how are we supposed to celebrate ateneo fiesta from now on? separately? suddenly, the campus felt so spacious.

[ weather ]
rain. for one thing, it wets the clothes of girls and makes them even more sexier. besides, after two months of sunshine and blackout, i’m in for some cold weather flirting.

[ archmage ]
i’m playing the-reincarnation dot com. apprentice server.

[ other stuff ]
holy fuck! have you seen the new close up commercial? where a girl was auditioning and sam milby was there? don’t get me wrong though, i could care less if sam was there or not. the background song rocks!!! i wonder who the artist and what the title is?

[ music ]
i’ve been listening to the corrs - would you be happier? nonstop recently whenever i sit in infront of the computer to work. cool song.

[ newbie ]
we’re scheduled to have a seminar this week about “researching” and other skills needed to make a successful thesis. this is gonna be a long week.

[ stephy kernel ]
yeah! so i guess it’s the only hobby kernel in the world that has a nick name. *giggle* i’m nearly done with the crude_console message system rewrite. though i still need to make a lotta helper functions like the libc-stdio vsprintf() and family that utilizes va_arg. hopefully, i’ll have a general purpose message interface and kernel message interface by the end of this week.

a little roadmap to self:
1 finish the print() system.
2 add more libc functionality (fuck) and give a shit about going non-ISO.
3 global table descriptor format review
4 interrupt descriptor table/interrupt service routines/interrupt request services
5 programmable interface controller
6 text lynlyn often coz she’s soo cute.

— these should keep me occupied for weeks —

i guess i’ll go and buy a “don’t kill yourself” book now.

first and foremost, happy mother’s day to all moms and future moms out there.

[ mother’s day full course crab dinner with family ]
tonight’s dish was seafood. mommy dear and dad got home from visiting my sick uncle in basilan this afternoon and they brought home crabs with them. i love the taste of crab meat! very delicious and i’d really eat a lot even though i spend half the time cracking shells and reaching out to those hard to reach places filled with crab meat. a crab meal is most delicious if you eat with your bare hands. i was really happy we had crabs for dinner. plus i didn’t have to be conscious of how i eat because no one would judge me by my table manners or my skill with the spoon and fork. i also sometimes sip/drink crab sauce noisily and it doesn’t bother me one bit. i’m with family afterall. also sometimes, maybe because i’m in crab-dinner heaven, i’d eat with my legs up on the same chair i’m sitting. *giggles* the keyword here is “pig” folks. then of course, coca cola completes my meal.

[ in high spirits ]
i’ve been very cheerful recently.. for some reason. though i’m willing to admit (a little) that it’s because i watch gokusen and love of condor heroes. totally enjoyable. after that dreadful rape scene i seemed to have recovered.. emotionally. besides, our java-jedi seminar is over so i have every reason to celebrate. can’t wait till monday!

[ college thesis proposal]
i’ve no idea! perhaps i’ll go with os kernel development. in the long run, i’ll be continuing my hobby. plus, no java and shit like that.

[ vim - exuberant ctags - cscope ]
i’ve been using vim with exuberant ctags since i saw ciaran mccreesh’s tutorial about vim way back. i discovered about cscope just recently and i like it. though, i still honestly think that vim without a :Tlist window looks incomplete. laugh.

[ clustrmap ]
notice the fresh clustrmap linkie in the links column. nothing vain about this, i’m just curious about my visitors.. (if i have any) and where in the world they are.

[ #osdev @ freenode stats ]
i somehow made it to the top 20 most active nicks. i hope to talk more about osdeving instead of just nonsensical, unrelated stuff. sometimes, the topic is too compelling to not talk about.. even if it’s out of the topic of os development. no one has problems with out-of-topicness though, at least that’s what i think. the people there are good humored smart persons. i seem to be the loudest guy in the room.

The loudest one was steffylove, who yelled 12.6% of the time!

i’m also the second saddest person in the room too!

steffylove is also a sad person, crying 3.7% of the time.

hoping for blackout free weekdays,
- me

my most hated condor hero scene.. aired last night!!!!!! fck. skipped the entire episode.

lynlyn seemed unaffected for some reason which made me rather curious. i wonder what she really felt inside. amazing self control. now i feel like making her pout! … perhaps make her frown a little while i’m at it also. she’ll be even cuter if than happens. i wish i have a camera phone to take her picture. that moment will be soo priceless.
