And here I am again, doing my brother's research yet again. Blegh, who said having siblings were fun? Well, I did at one point, but now when they're taking advantage of one's good nature...! Okay so admittedly, I may not be in the running for the Best Sibling Award, but heck, I try!

This time, instead of looking for Renassaince paintings and some such, I'm into History. So what if this is a fascinating subject for me? Especially since he asked me to research about three generals involved in World War II -- Montgomery, Patton, and Rommel.

hehehe ^__^

It's a fascinating research, especially since these three are somewhat intertwined in the fighting... like Montgomery defeated Rommel in Alamein. Now I remember why I wanted to get a second degree in History. It's a fascinating subject matter.

Just ditch the brother who wants you to do research; it's more fun that way.

Anyway...

Had a marathon show of Witch Hunter Robin last Monday. Amon is soooo COOL!! hehehe What can I say? I seem to like that kind of man. Hopeless... But they gotta have this certain... I don't know, "oomph" to their personality? They can't just be all that brooding and quiet and stuff -- that can be boring. And I don't like boring.

But before that, watched another animé series at Galo's -- I forgot the title -- a very ditzy angel and an "incompetent" devil... both of the girls are quite cute by the way, and I don't mean cute in the same that Risky and Safety are cute, i.e. small just 3 inches or so tall. Mishia, that's the angel, is this very ditzy pink haired angel (that they want me to cosplay >__<) whose very first line in the animé was "Will you go out with me?" if I remember it right.

Then there's Shia, the quiet sort of devil, who as her cat-mentor pointed out, is a very incompetent devil, and who ended up having to stay with Mishia in her apartment. Go figure.

But it was a fun animé to watch, good for the kids.

Not to mention that there's this bishounen there -- Ten-chan and I can't remember his name!! Argh! He's cute though.

Now where was I...? Oh yeah... I don't know if I should be happy or not but that download of mine...? The one that's going haywire? Everytime it pauses, it jumps! Like when I last looked at it it was at 4% then it jumped to about 81% before going zero on me again!

Sheesh!

And onto the good news of the week...!

I PASSED THE CIVIL SERVICE EXAMS!! So I didn't perfect it as other people wanted me to do and expected me to do, so what?! I got a high enough mark... *grumble grumble* but apparently not high enough for brother dear. He's just ahead by a measly 0.93 points! It's not even a whole point!

My other brother said we should celebrate ^______^ hehehe Jolibee!! Heck, everyone know's I'm a Jobee kid. We're both turning the same age this year even! hehehe

But there was this one guy in the exams... my sister chatted with his mother, and she was all this proud and stuff for her son (he's 27 by the way >__< hehehe me bad). Anyway, so we waited for the results, and wouldn't you believe it, he failed. Eeep. And she was all this "I got up real early for him, etc. etc. etc." When he saw his grade, I think the world fell on him.

And me, when I got mine, I did a little jump and skip routine. Coz I saw mine had the blue seal -- that meant you passed -- the green one meant you failed.

Oh yeah and the computerized system was cool. Well, the room was anyway since we got to have all those surveillance cameras pointed at us. Remove those cameras and the room loses all the cool points.

And I had this seatmate, his name was Rommel something or the other... we didn't ask each other's names but then we got to see our names because of the seat plan they passed around. And all he brought was this mechanical pencil that went AWOL on him. hehehe The lead broke, so he had to borrow one of my pens. Being the good girl scout that I am, I had two pens, two pencils, an eraser, and a sharpener, all in my handy dandy black pencil case that doubled as the case for my black glasses.

The only thing I can remember about him right now, physically that is, is that he was tall and wore glasses and looked extremely different from his picture, never mind that he wasn't wearing glasses in the picture. And we had fun talking about the surveillance cameras, wondering if they could swivel to look around.

When I peeked into the control room, I could see that they did indeed work. Coz I wasn't that sure if they worked or not. I don't know, but I kinda expected that there be this blinking red light there. I saw the television monitors though, and the cameras basically could see the whole room.

The results came out pretty quick; the delay must have been the printing out of the results. Oh and a funny thing... So there were two lines to get the results -- the usual division, last names A-F here and G-Z there. So I went to my line, and I couldn't find my name! hehehe They found it in the other sheet of paper that got misplaced for the other pile. Sheesh!

Oh well...

Actually got to editing some of Illusion 5.3, shifted a scene to 5.4... I'm about to start on it again.
