Based on the Twitter widget that you are seeing at the right, I've recently set up a Twitter account. Let's just say I've decided to do so because I don't have the energy and drive anymore to write full blog posts, as you can tell from the sporadic blog posts that I write here from time to time because, as well as the many things I do online.

So if you want to see what I've been doing lately that is too mundane for a full-blown blog post, you can check out my Twitter widget.

That's all for now.

Tomorrow, Geocities will cease to exist. The same will be said on every page built in it, including Sailormoon and the Roving Sailorettes and Assorted Anime Tarot. It might be cliche, but I had fun making and maintaining my homepages for the past ten years while Geocities' popularity lasted. But for the last six years, real life, as well as my time in Wikipedia and everything else kept me from updating the two sites. I was supposed to save only one, Assorted Anime Tarot to a new hosting service because I want AAT's presence on the internet to continue. But when Bravenet, where I originally planned to move AAT, decided to lower the disk space provided to free members (from 50MB to 5MB), I decided to give up on finding a hosting service that gives hosting services as those on Geocities and let them be archived on the Internet Archive. Furthermore, I have outgrown my full obsession to both Sailormoon and tarot reading, although that doesn't mean I'm no longer a fan.

Well, where do I go from when Geocities closes? Aside from rearranging my profile page (which is in Bravenet, BTW) and redirecting some links, I'm more into contributing and editing at Wikipedia and sparingly update this blog (because I don't do so as often as I used to). I may even set up my own Twitter account. But that'll be for another day.

If you have noticed already, I've found a new file host for the images and files, at least for this edition. The site is Hotlink Files, which works like MyFileHut did. This is why you can see most of the images from the entries below back up again.

Also, I've made a simple little homepage on Bravenet to put my profile page in. Bravenet was supposed to be the new full-blown home for Assorted Anime Tarot come Geocities' shutdown in October. But last Saturday, I received a newsletter from Bravenet that it lowered its free homepage allocation from 50MB down to just 5MB. Since the full infrastructure for AAT is more than that (it's about 7MB in total), I decided to give up on finding and setting up a new home for AAT and instead set up galleries for the AAT1 and AAT2 Tarot decks on Photobucket the same way I did with those of my two Assorted Anime Playing Cards.

So AAT will go the way Sailormoon and the Roving Sailorettes, to be archived at the Internet Archive. It's been more than twelve years since SRS was up and about ten for the site which housed both AAT and the Cartoon Network Akazukin Cha Cha Homepage, and I had fun while setting up and maintaining those sites while it lasted. But since I'm into other things at the present, I almost have no time for them, so the sites' closing along with the rest of Geocities will be a bit of a loss for their sentimental value. But we all have to move on.

As I said once again, I have so many things to do that I almost have no time for this blog. But I will try to update you on things and adding and sorting links as I go along in the coming days.

I bet you're already aware that Geocities will close on October 26. With me running two websites, SRS and AAT on Geocities, I am thinking of what to do with both sites, even though I don't maintain them as much anymore (I don't even have interest in making an AAT3 right now).

Right now, I've decided to just move AAT to another web hosting service, courtesy of Bravenet and have SRS and part of what was the Cartoon Network Akazukin Cha Cha Homepage in the Internet Archive for archiving. Like I said, I am not into updating the others, as I'm now focused on Wikipedia. But considering sentimental value and the fact there are many Sailormoon fan sites outside of GeoCities, having SRS archived is better.

As for the Cartoon Network Akazukin Cha Cha Homepage, as I have mentioned there, my interest on Akazukin Cha Cha has almost waned; it's not as big now as it was when I set it up ten years ago. So resurrecting it for the sake of Akazukin Cha Cha fans is now slim and archiving it is the next best option.

You might ask, why did I decide to save AAT? One word: personality. Even though I'm not into tarot reading in general at this moment, I feel that the decks show part of my personality, which is to infuse a little bit of anime into anything that is not necessarily anime-related. In fact, AAT led me to the development of the Assorted Anime Playing Cards, the planning stage for the third deck still in progress. I'm also planning to put the three decks on display under AAT in the future, once moving AAT's infrastructure to Bravenet is done.

Also, while the profile is under SRS, I will put it in under AAT, again after AAT's infrastructure is complete.

As for this blog, I'll be searching for another webhost for the images and files indicated in the entries. As you would note by the broken images below, both MyFileHut and MyFileStash are now gone.

That's it for now. I'll be giving you sporadic updates on AAT's move. Until then, watch this space. Ja!

If you're worried about me. I'm still alive, but I'm currently on other things that I have no time to blog or even find a new secondary site to house the entry files and pictures. But I made decide to do that. Also, I'm out of a job (officially), so it may take a while to reorganize my time on the sites.

Also, since I don't have time to maintain and update my websites, I might decide to "capsulate" them, i. e. still maintain the sites, but not update them too much until I got the interest to update them again.

Until I find time to regularly post again, please wait for a while.

Boy, it is a while since I've blogged anything. And related to this, it's been a while since I've watched a Disney on Ice show. I've been watching Disney on Ice six out of the eight times it is seen here in the Philippines. I was almost eight years old when I watched my first show, which was back in the first quarter of 1990. I've watched four more shows in 1992, 1993, 1995, and 2001. What's more worth than my last outing in 2001 was that this time, the ticket that I bought for this year's show was with my own money and the my seat was closest to the action. I used to seat far from the rink-stage because they were cheaper.

Basically, this year's Disney on Ice show was entitled "Mickey and Minnie's Amazing Journey" which sees Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy going around four places and explore the stories behind them. We are shown condensed versions of (in the order of presentation) Lion King, 101 Dalmatians, The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, and Lilo and Stitch. And I can tell that it is good. Actually, I've like all six shows that I have watched. But now as an adult, I appreciated it more because of the moves the skaters did in the entire presentation. I've tried skating once, but because I rarely put myself in inline-skates, I don't do very well with ice-skates. It was a long time ago and I haven't stepped back on the ice since.

Of course, cellphones with noisy ringtones are not allowed, so I set it on "Silent" so no one would hear. Since digital cameras were allowed, provided they do not flash or with this feature off, I tried to click just one shot of the show, but I couldn't because of my angle because of my seating. So what I can show you below are my souvenirs from experience. At the left is the actual ticket; the half-tear just signifies my admission. The right picture is the program brochure and the lei that came with it. There were lots of other souvenirs, but for me, this is the must-have.

• The Amazing Race (1):
• Kevin & Drew (the bald guys who knock my socks off; had a cameo in season 8)
• Joe & Bill (Team Guido, one of favorites to win back then, but the last I saw them, they are way far behind. I hope that won't happen this time.)
• The Amazing Race 2:
• Oswald & Danny (I don't remember them; I do remember Tara & Wil's post-divorce spats and Blake & Paige's sibling revelry)
• Teams I want to see compete in this edition: Blake & Paige, for the reason I already gave
• The Amazing Race 3:
• John Vito & Jill (No longer a couple, but they're still out to prove each other)
• Teri & Ian (one of my favorite teams at the time because they were the resident old couple who defied the odds)
• The Amazing Race 4:
• none
• Teams I want to see compete in this edition: John & Al, for the fact that they are clowns, and also the Tangerine Team (Tian & Jaree)
• The Amazing Race 5:
• Charla & Mirna (Many may not like Mirna, but I, like many a fan of the show, love Charla because she's tough despite being little. I hope this trip won't be "short" one. Get it? "Short"?)
• Teams I want to see compete in this edition: Chip & Kim (because they're fun to watch) and Colin & Christie (because Colin's fun to watch when he snaps). Not to mention the Bowling Moms, Linda & Karen.
• The Amazing Race 6:
• none, strangely
• Teams I want to see compete in this edition: Kris & Jon, because they acted like how model Americans should act in a foreign land: willfully accepting foreign culture, not like Freddy & Kendra and the ever bickering Jonathan & Victoria (though I also wanted Lori & Bolo to be there).
• The Amazing Race 7:
• Uchenna & Joyce (They're winners in their season, so I'm sure they have big targets on their backs)
• Rob & Amber (They have bigger targets on their backs, too! To their credit, they have been Survivors, ran in the Race with everybody wanting to take them down, and had they had their wedding, headaches and all, aired on international television! And another one is coming up!)
• Teams I want to see compete in this edition: Ron should have found another partner, maybe one of his fellow POWs.
• The Amazing Race Family Edition (8):
• None, because that is another story.
• The Amazing Race 9:
• Eric &... Danielle?!! (Looks like they ditched Jeremy and Dani to be with each other. But them together is still untested, so who knows?)
• Teams I want to see compete in this edition: BJ & Tyler, because they seem to be the right persons an anime fan would hang out with
• The Amazing Race 10:
• David & Mary (One of the Back Pack marked with elimination twice. Now that the Chos and Lyn & Karlyn won't be with them in this trip, how now, brown cow?)
• Dustin & Kandice (Out once again to prove blondes aren't dumb. Too bad Tyler & James will be on the sidelines.)
• Teams I want to see compete in this edition: Lyn & Karlyn
