The Sky is Falling!

Heh, you may have heard of that line from Disney's "Chicken Little" but in my experience just yesterday it was defined for me in an all new light :D.

This is how things happened...

I had just returned with my mother last night from her school, having stayed there for most of the afternoon. Well, naturally my first initiative was to change my clothes. I went upstairs and found our hanging line (the place where we hang our clothes, which stretched above my bed and was tied to a nail on the wall where my bed leaned and the other end on a metal railing high above the door leading to our balcony) laden with clothes hanging to be dried.

So I sifted through the drying clothes and attempted to take out some shorts. Then...

CREAK..

I instantly looked up at the other end of the hanging line, high above the door leading to the balcony, and to my horror the metal railing has somehow broken loose, now delicately hanging on to a single nail and threatening to fall off. Whatever force of nature made me stare at it for a pretty long time when...

CRASH!

I screamed in pain as the overhung hanging line totally gave way and carried the metal railing with it! The impact was so strong that the metal railings smashed on my head and apparently it carried the glass panel behind it through the wooden frame behind the railings. So CRASH it went and I ended up with a knocked up head, a bitten tongue, and a cut on my arm... not exactly amusing to welcome me, but it ended up with a new destruction to the nearly 30-year old house. Naturally the entire family heard the commotion and thankfully everything was fixed off.

If Chicken Little called it as the Sky Falling, maybe I ought to give it a different Falling term. Haha!

Triple Mayhem

In the real world I am known as Allan, the guy that my classmates call as the "Master". Why choose such a term I guess I'll never know, but apparently the connotation points out to my seemingly inhuman capability of earning good results in class without opening a single book or consulting notes too heavily. To tell you the truth, I never do know myself how I manage to do such a feat, but I guess even I couldn't understand the difference between my brain and theirs... I don't know, I dont intend to be boastful or arrogant about it, in fact, curiosity strikes me more than them!

That is my intellectual personality, one of three personalities that I possess in my everyday lifestlye. The second one, named Lance Brian Tracy Redfield (LBTR for short LOL), is in fact my literary side, a pseudonym I had adopted for myself as the (future - libre nmang mag ambisyon e amfufu) author of the Terra Nova series. Mark my words Lance is almost done with the 1st series final draft and he will make sure it makes it's way into publication!

So there, Lance. Lance actually makes up the bulk of my imaginative brain and my english capabilities. In fact, he even overrides the intellectual part of me sometimes in class and my mind drifts off to places of imagination... I once saw in a TV commercial in Cartoon Network to let your brain drift along and earn knowledge even while on the comfort of your very home. Let's just say I follow it too much :P

Then comes my alter ego, I mean it. He goes by the name of Dave, and he is my Online Life persona, whenever I serve as the Wikimaster of Philippine ROSE Online and play in the game itself. Dave is actually a name I derived from my first series in Lance's novel and I figured it would fit my character finely there. From there on I had even adopted the nickname Dave for my real life (kinda too far from Allan, isn't it?).

Yes, three personalities, all with three different dilemmas as of the moment... three heavy dilemmas that threaten their destruction... In fact, all problems are interconnected!

Ke Dave na muna... Dave is having serious problems in power-leveling in ROSE because of the arrival of EVO. I had thought once that EVO was every ROSE Player's dream, when they would finally reach a higher class and style of online gaming in ROSE and achieve a better status for their characters... well with the buggy realm that welcomed the entire community I guess everything went crashing down. I do hope it gets fixed pretty soon... thankfully though, another string of problems linked with this one keeps me from playing him. Otherwise I would just be disappointed of slow leveling.

Ok, Lance next. With Lance, I'm having stress problems in chaining the distorted storyline that he created with the previous draft of Series 1. Apparently reading it from another reader's point of view may seem interesting but reading it from his point of view makes the story look corny enough to be thrown into the trash can... his dilemma then focuses on bringing more interest into the story, which has recently involved a lot of fighting scenes. Romance may be a little too easy for him and he has even added Mystery to the genre, but I am confident he will make it through somehow.

Then comes me, Allan. Well, my problems center on my academic life, as you might have read in my previous entry, I may have experienced a lot of stressful emotional and mental stress lately, but by now most of it has been fixed and patched up and I'm feeling a bit more normal now :P, only with the exception of several academic requirements that I haven't fulfilled yet due to the swamped projects that nearly washed us over (I mean the entire class).

Well, an entry will follow this one in a matter of minutes. Toodles!
