I just want to say that a Philippine Supreme Court Associate Justice just made a Godwin's Law by saying that women having the choice of using contraceptives is like Hitler. Justice Abad compares pro-RH petitioners to HitlerI can't...just...what... I CAN'T EVEN. GOD.

Watching the season finale of White Collar with a bottle of vodka and a bag of Doritos makes everything beautiful, dramatic, and all about kink memes and daddy kinks. Oh Neal Caffrey.
In other news, hi everyone! I've been so busy in RL recently, coming back from a dig, looking at earthenware, presenting papers, etc. that even going out and socializing has become a devious way of maneuvering through politics and drama. I find myself thinking fondly of times when I would go home early every Friday nights to watch Honey and Clover or to read Harry Potter/Supernatural fanfics. So I've been doing a bit of reenaction and reading fanfics, bookmarking arts, in the hope I can amass enough to volunteer for rec comms again.
How has everyone been? :)
ETA: Holy crap, LJ android, wtf is with your lack of HTML formatting?

Last night, I spent part of the night following the news through Twitter and Inquirer. At 9pm, the Senate and the Congressmen finally approved the Reproductive Health Bill into a law after it languished for 13 years. This Bill legally gives women the right to choose how many children they want to have, to have hospitalized care after abortion (whether natural or induced), the right for people to have other birth control methods instead of mere abstaining, and for children to learn what sex is from school. I've been following this Bill for a long time, and last night made me so happy I burst into tears. There are so many things going wrong with this world, but I believe this is the right path. Deliberations on the final version of the law will go on today. Let's see.

A Supernatural art that I did intermittently while doing snupin_santa. This is something I found in my sketchbook about a month ago, and I ended up practicing my coloring here. I drew this around Season 5, when I wanted so much for Sam and Dean to PLEASE HUG AND NEVER LET GO. It's silly, but it was fun working on it. :3 (I am in no way bashing S4, I love a lot of episodes there.) ART! How Castiel Could Have Single-Handedly Saved Sam/Dean in Season 4Sam/Dean, Castiel; Supernatural PG, size: 800x790 ( How Castiel Could Have Single-Handedly Saved Sam/Dean in Season 4Collapse )

Snupin Santa is now open for prompts until August 22! Sign up rules! Note that there are some changes from the previous sign-ups. And more importantly... Sign up here!I've been over-thinking this, obviously, but I'll likely recycle some of the prompts I didn't get before, and add some. I AM OVERLY-INVESTED ON TEDDY LUPIN AS PART OF SNUPIN. And I'm kind of worried because dungeons_master's gift last year, Lost and Found/Hardships of a Teenage Metamorphagus is so AMAZING that I don't want to make a similar prompt. So join, join, join!

Last year, I went to 5 different field excursions within a few span of months which stressed me out, stressed my family out, and affected my publication abilities. BUT this year, I managed my field excursions better, which resulted me having to bow out from a paying job, but getting a better one with less stress after a month. So this is what I've been up to this entire year. ( lots of pictures here, including one of a skeleton!Collapse )

Summer has officially started here in the Philippines, which means I will be off to field for the next month or so. This is also means no internet for the next few weeks, HORRORS. I know I haven't been posting a lot so my presence won't be missed. *lol*
But I'll be back for a day or two at the end of April for my mother's birthday. Hopefully I can catch up with all your works by then.
See you then! *waves*

At Jam 88.3, they're streaming Sugarfree's last gig in Eastwood. *fights back tears* NU107 closed their doors last year, and now this. They're one of the best bands I've ever heard with simple words to songs that resonate. I hope they still end up writing more songs. Who wants to bet their closing song will be Burnout? Eta: Okay, it might be Kuwarto.

I had this long post about dreams and cemeteries and why I got so scared a couple of weeks ago because of my dreams BUT. I didn't join blind_go this round, again, but blue_cage sure did and YAY! And even though I know I'm probably the only one who cares about this, I finally found that Hikaru no Go fic I've been looking for in ages. It is Ogata/Hikaru. It has unrequired!Akira/Hikaru. It is glorious. And it is finished. The Relative Value of Things, by glitterati. It is NC17, and has jealous!Akira and jealous!Ogata and Hikaru being so shiny and sad but OMG so bright HE BURNS ME. While you're there, though, you might want to check out Renegotiation, a Gravitation fic in Maiko's eyes as she talks about her observations on the superstar world, her changing and adult views on Shuichi and Yuki, on love, and how Yuki writes. Okay, you know what? Just read everything there. Seriously. Go.

Happy New Year! This has got to be the latest new year's post. 2010 was an emotional roller coaster for me. During the last days of 2010, a very close family member died--my grandmother's brother, but whom we call "grandfather" as well (musing about it, others may call him my great-uncle?). What followed was a jumble of preparation for his burial, helping out with the family, while still fulfilling our other familial obligations during the holiday break. Then a storm broke out which delayed our flight back to Manila. Coming home was an equally tiring prospect as going on vacation. Then I went to join an excavation which I also went to last year. This is a partnership that our department had with the Australian National University. This time, I didn't get to excavate a burial jar, but our trench had a surprise--with an extended burial when we weren't expecting any more. It was really fun, although I kept expecting I'm going to die of the cold. Seriously 20 C is NOT a good temperature for me. Contrary to popular opinions of my friends, though, I did not get drunk every night during the field. In fact, I spent many nights going through my records. I'm boring. *lol* I know this is a piss-poor excuse for not writing more, not even to rec the WONDERS that is my Snupin Santa gift: Lost And Found and Hardships of a Teenage Metamorphagus by dungeons_master. Which...omg. I was literally blown away by this one. It has depth that I never thought anyone will even try to explore, and how the first story led to the epilogue one-shot about Teddy just makes sense. I was particularly amazed and delighted to learn that DM wrote this because I have read DM's works over the years, and reading this was like uncovering something, a masterpiece, you know? And the writing is just EXQUISITE, I could not get enough. It's so satisfying, so LOVELY that I felt so satisfied, like I've just taken a bite of something I've been craving but never new how much. AH. So if you're craving mature Severus and Remus being adults, growing as adults, and becoming responsible people while falling in love and taking care of baby!Teddy, this fic is for you. Give it a shot. It's lovely and romantic without being over the top. It's my canon future for them. Also, I managed to squeeze in my spn_j2_xmas fic before the deadline, and totally forgot to say how much a loved the cute art that was given to me for the exchange: Christmas in Tahiti: an AU where Jared is Jensen's boss who forces his uptight secretary to go to a vacation, then totally tags along with him. ♥ -- I hate to dampen things again, but I will likely be off to field or working on a couple of articles ready for publication soon. So yes, to preempt things, here I sign off again! ETA: I should also note here that I haven't managed to post again for the A Decade of Snupin project, which makes me sad. UGH, I am fail.

Written for sinnerforhire in spn_j2_xmas and is extremely late! She asked for J2 coffee shop/bookstore AU. I tried to put in as much as you wanted, which included, drunken confessions of love, schmoop, author!Jensen. I hope it's okay, and I am so, so sorry. Never Looked the Same 1/2Jared/Jensen, CWRPS AU NC-17, 12,900~ words (in two parts) (Names are in no way associated with the real people.)( In which Jensen is a writer. He had a crush on Jared Padalecki when he was Jared's TA. Jared Padalecki is a Hollywood actor. He doesn't remember Jensen. That's okay, Jensen doesn't have a crush on him anymore and he can lie like a pro. He writes FICTION, for god's sakes! This is gonna be easy. (Part 1)Collapse )

A Snupin Santa rec: Taste. PG. Severus Snape is ordered to go on holidays so he seeks out a cooking class overseas. But it appears the cooking classes are more popular than he thought.I cried over this. I always love stories that intertwine with the love of food, nevermind if I don't even know how to cook. I love to eat, though, and this fic wrote Severus and Remus through the years, even wrote a prankish!Remus. There are so many clever lines that made me laugh out loud, some of them even made my cry. I am not kidding you. The feeling of this fic left me with something so big, it encompassed my heart. Go. Read. NOW.

I fave'd an old video by Brownman Revival for the song "Sorry Na, Pwede Ba? (Dino Version)" a few years back. Just a few minutes earlier, I clicked it again and got the notice: "This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment. It is not available in your country."This poses a strange conundrum. How can this song not be available in my country, when it's in fact a Filipino song? Hmm. Anyone have any ideas?
