Taken from my private journal…
I have to admit…being a bastard is hard. It is hard in the sense that it’s really difficult to be a bastard to get your point across and to stand for what is right. Doing something wrong to set things right is really difficult. Why am I writing about it? Even though I’m strict and a bastard at times, it is also hard on me. I can hear other people’s thoughts. I can sense their emotions. I can empathize with their pain for my actions. But there are times when it is necessary. For all of us, I think. I just got off the tricycle about 15 minutes ago. The standard fare for a special trip is 32 pesos (8 pesos per person). However, instead of giving the proper fare, I only gave 24 pesos. Why? Because the driver let some guy hitch a ride with me, without even giving the courtesy of asking me if he can hitch a ride. Even though the driver seems to be friends with the guy, it’s not fair to make me pay the whole fare. As I walked away from the tricycle, I can sense his annoyance and anger. At the same time, he couldn’t do anything because it was his fault for letting someone hitch a ride in the first place. And deep inside me, it felt bad to do it. But at the same time, I couldn’t let it slide. I’m tired, in a bad mood because of the unusually long jeepney ride I had to take, and then I get treated like that. In the past, I would just ignore it, thinking that these people are just trying to earn a living, and what is 8 pesos compared to my salary. But now, I believe in making an honest living. When honesty is involved in making money, it can bring you joy and peace of mind. No matter how small it is. And as a paying customer, I also believe in paying the right amount for the right service. They say life’s not fair. So why not change it? Especially if you have the means to do so.

I love minecraft. I really do. To the point that I created my own mod and ported Minefactory Reloaded for my server (because some of the porters at the Minecraft community don’t know how to properly port a mod). But for all my love for Minecraft, I can’t seem to get myself into the mood to write or port mods, especially now that Redpower 2PR5 is still missing the Bukkit port. Despite my anxiety, I can’t open up my IDE and start coding. Why? If there’s anything I don’t like about the Minecraft community, it’s the drama. One good example is flowerchild, the one responsible for the Better than Wolves mod. He’s also responsible about the dramas regarding the Technic Pack and Minecraft Forge. The statement about withdrawing from Minecraft Forge is a good example: http://gamegenus.blogspot.com/2011/11/flowerchild-withdraws-from-minecraft.html Sigh. Bloated egos. To those who’ve been waiting for an update to MinecartDelivery, I’m sorry for not having released updates. Aside from the drama shit, I’m currently busy with my day job. Which is also why I released MinecartDelivery’s source code under the Apache License: so that anyone interested can modify and redistribute it, as long as they follow the rules of the Apache License.

I’ve been thinking about doing this for so many years, but I’ve always delayed it for tomorrow. Well, not anymore. I’ve started a new blog called Heuristic Magick. It’s purpose: to make magick more accessible to mere mortals. Magick is a field considered by many to be broad, evil, unscientific, esoteric, etc.. But most people don’t realize that we also use it everyday. I’ve been researching on this stuff since my teenage years. It would be a waste if this knowledge will just be stored in an archive. Start here if you’re interested: http://heuristicmagick.tumblr.com/about

According to the universe, you can’t always be happy. You need to experience the bottom once in a while.
And it sucks.

You’re hot. No doubt about it.
But using comic sans is a real turnoff.
