    It's been almost a month since I had my internet connection cut. Hopefully, with the help of my brother, I might be getting it back up before April. I've been hanging in there so far. A few people would go crazy without it for a day, imagine a whole month. So far, while waiting for my passport to get processed, I'm stuck play Skyrim. I've tried every sort of character, every sort of race and finished the game twice already. I still love the game and I really can't get tired of it.
    Anyway... hope I get that internet connection up and running at home soon. Cya Ponies~

    The Unexpected

    By Xiee,

    It's just one of those days that great unexpected things occur. It's days like these that I just thank God that he watches over me.
    First off, I was doing some window shopping in one of the malls earlier when I noticed that there was a job caravan going on. I wasn't in my casual attire so I thought I wouldn't fit in, but to my surprise, one of the HR people of a certain company approached me and asked if I had any experience in tech support. I immediately said yes, but I told them that I didn't have my resumes with me and that I wasn't dressed for the interview. (I was wearing a regular yellow shirt with a huge radioactive symbol on the front, camo cargo pants and sneakers) To my surprise they said it didn't matter and all I needed were to fill out a few forms. So I did. After which, I ended up doing 2 practical exams and a written one, all passed. Then came the final interview, that I aced too and they immediately offered me a contract with a sign in bonus and other perks. Of course I wanted to accept it but this is where my second unexpected thing comes in.
    Earlier, my dad and I were discussing about me looking for work abroad. I told him that I didn't have the resources to do so when he surprisingly said that he'd lend me the money to go to Singapore and apply any dream jobs that I've always wanted. I was speechless really. I almost cried then and there but he said that he only wanted to see me get a better job than any of the local underpaid jobs here.
    So... I don't want to jinx myself on anything. I'll try to fulfill my requirements and hopefully, I'll either bag that good local paying job, or take on my dad's offer of help.
    Cya Ponies!

    Away

    By Xiee,

    For a while now, I hav been without a job. I quit my last job right around December because the stress was literally killing me and I no longer found the motivation to continue. I resigned confident that I would find others quite easily. A few people from the chat knew I was aiming big, as I told them that I was applying for a big gaming company as a community representative for an online game that they currently run. I applied for the position but I was put on the waiting list because it seems that they needed to decide who really deserved the position. In the end, I got chosen. It was honor to get selected when there were a dozen of us who applied for the position and I was the only one chosen. However the day came when I needed to sign my contract. To my dismay, they were offering less at what I got when I was with Microsoft. I told them I needed to think about this and give me at least a day or two. Sadly, I declined the offer. Mainly because my dad was pressuring me to go abroad and work for better companies and get paid better in return. So I have been going around applying for a job here and there. It's more difficult than it seems. I never got a call back from those companies I applied for.
    Right now, I'm kind of living barely as it is. My sudden announcement of not being able to get into the chat and posting late replies in my RPs. The main reason is my internet service has finally been cut-off. I haven't paid for about two months now and so they've disconnected. I'm trying to manage my expenses though so I gave priority to my electric bill. I figured that loosing the internet is better than loosing electricity. I thought of asking help from my dad, but I don't want to burden him with my problems. I just hope that my brother, who lives with me, steps up for now until I can recover and get a job. I mean he's spending his money on nothing at home since I do pay for all the bills and he just buys stuff for himself anyway.
    Anyway, I might be gone from the chat for at least a month or more, but I won't neglect my RPs. It's the one thing that is pulling me through this and it helps me think. Right now, I'm using the Mall's free wifi just to post here. I'm starting to feel like a bum lol.
    Ciao until I sort everything in my life out. See you around Ponies!

    Momentum

    By Xiee,

    I think I'm starting to get a hang of multiple RPs. I'm still careful though not to get over myself though, but I guess I'm just happy that I was able to app The Mayor. I've got a couple of RPs in Stalliongrad as well and they're all progressing nicely. I also managed to app a new member for the GoLucky family and I think I still have another in the works. I think I'll just have one more app then just stop. I don't have a Pegasus OC yet, so that would be my last one. I promise?!

    Just a dream...

    By Xiee,

    I had a dream last night. I was with my beloved. During this time, we spent a swell time together. I laughed as she laughed, smiled as she smiled and just followed her through the streets and back alleys. It was like when we were still together. I ran along with her through the rain and took shelter in a simple diner by the road. We both stared at the rain and then I woke up.
    I've been separated from my ex-girlfriend for 4 years now. Back then, I kinda screwed up, so we had to part ways. But I did vow to her that I would come back for her someday. I told myself back then that I would do anything to get back to her. But now, it feels that she has drifted even farther from me. Truth be told, I miss her and I still yearn for her. A close friend of mine has said that I really have never gotten over her ever since that faithful day. And I do believe that he is right...
    Forever alone...

    The Constitution? Really?

    By Xiee,

    So, I'm minding my own business, enjoying my day off from work. I go on to Facebook and check out my local brony community and somepony in the chat started saying that they wanted the Ponies to sing Korean Songs. K-Pop to be exact. For the record, I do not hate K-Pop. In fact I like a few K-Pop songs and a Korean video game called DJ-Max with a lot of K-Pop in it. So anyway, I comment about K-Pop being overly saturated here (In the Philippines K-Pop stuff is like a disease of sorts) and I sort of say that I don't want the Ponies to sing K-Pop. As expected, rage. It seemed that I irked the person who said the comment. So I try to calm the situation down and say the same could be said of MLP:FiM itself. Many Bronies try to "ponify" everything to the point that I don't find it funny. Naturally, whoever that guy was, he essssplodes twice and quotes Article 19 of the Philippine Constitution about "Freedom of Speech". *Facehoof* Not wanting this confrontation to continue, I give a disclaimer saying that it's only my opinion and I'm not forcing it. I end it there and move on.
    Sigh... what a way to start a day off.

    And it began...

    By Xiee,

    I was giving some thought for a while if I would start up a blog here. Finally decided to give in since I liked the community a lot. I tend to think a lot so I needed somewhere to pour it all out and I figured this would be the best place for it.
    Anyway, most of you already know that I'm in South East Asia (GMT +8). I've seen a few local Brony communities but they're a bit disorganized. The local one that I joined with on Facebook seems to be dominated by "Weeaboos". They're only into MLP:FiM because its a craze and everyone is digging it. I tried interacting with them but it seems they have their own "odd" standards about FiM. For a while, I tried to be optimistic about it and just went along but it was not what I have hoped for. I'm still with the group but I'm more of a lurker there now.
    It's a Sunday morning, 1st day off work and I'm loving every moment of it. Will be going to church after breakfast and maybe drop by the mall to do some window shopping. And some good news! My schedule has changed! So starting next week I'm no longer a night Pony, but a morning Pony. I'm finally off from the night shift! YAY! Been stuck in the night shift for 6 months, so this is a cause for celebration!
    *Finishes his Coffee*
    As a final note, I'm really happy I found this community. I thought I'd never find another community like this in my lifetime ever since the old forums (an Anime forum) that I was a regular in closed down. I was active there for many many years and we had local meetups and events. I just hope I get to meet or see some of the Ponies here in person and just have a good, fun and relaxing time.
