Trilogy of the Four Sabbaths
Mood: 
I found myself struggling in the obstacles I have met along the way. It was too late for me to realize that the Pandora's Box was unleashed.
For almost a month, the Wonderland was left in dust and dirt with no one left to keep it. Four Sabbaths went unrecorded in history.
First Sabbath: Pandora's Box
We are on a war. The warriors of Genbu from the North went to the Central to confront the warriors of Kohryu without hesitations.
It was Monday. I went to Nash's place to hang out for a moment with Ron then I stopover to Galas, excitedly, with a box full of Magic: the Gathering Trading Cards. It was an urgent that Shawn told me that Harold's father departed. We went to the funeral along with Yui and Karl. Then we met the others who attended and decided to play poker. It just happened that I reminded Karl about the cards that made him abusing me verbally. I confronted him to stop it and tell me the reason behind. He continues to involve my mother in his verbal attacks. On that moment, I have lost my trust on him totally. Then later I found out the reason from his brother Shawn: Karl borrowed the decks from his friends (those were with us that funeral) long ago and never returned it, possibly he pawned them. I just let if fly for the while as Karl discusses his real reason why he start to insult Theresa and Liz harshly. He is ruining his own image for that he know that Theresa is so good to be true and hence, he want his brother to be with her instead of him. I just recalled what Karl told me months ago that Chess is a game of patience that you can leave and return when you finally figure out your next move. Maybe he just did the same thing in this situation. He just wanted Theresa to stay away from him in the first place and think of a resolution for almost half a year to renew his image. Then we grew tired for the day and we went home, without me thinking of sharing the cards anymore. I finally lost my self esteem again.
Sabbath's finally comes. We met each other in SM North with Shawn and the others. Then we transfer. And now the argument should be discussed as soon as we came to the Central of Japanese Pop Civilization in the poor country of Philippines. We were finally meet other in Megamall.
I was one of the people who was hoping to witness the unleashing the Pandora's Box. An open forums must be discussed. A lot of problems and confrontations was supposedly to take place during that Sabbath. It was not my fight alone, but also the fight of the many of us. There was also an event occurring in simultaneously. That was the EB or get together of the Pinoycosplay members. Then we take a sit. We introduced a lot of newbies to the other members, the Pinoycosplayers to the Clan Gamers. There was a lot of things happening and coincides with each other.
It was about to start when Sonar gathered the Admins and Mods of GC, driving the ordinary GC members away including me. And they discussed about the current situation in GC, as if they know the real consequences and concerns: Luna left GC, then there is a fire in two fan's corners that needed firemen, A plot to destroy GC and a lot more. It was too late for me to know. Project Armageddon was forged.
While they were plotting for the project, I have talked to Louis for some of the concerns. About Luna and the others. I found out from him about the real reason why she left, hating us. Then he discussed about another problem. At first he denies to mention his name and finally I made him say who he was. It was Waloz. As Waloz's friend and knows him more, I told him that he won't do anything harmful and encouraged him to talk to him with me as the mediator. So we did. It came fine. I was very glad and Louis was very thankful as I know it. It was a simple pleasure that I enjoyed.
Minutes pasts. The concern people, Mopsy, Tanya and Theresa patiently waits for the Open Forums to begin. They waited in vain for nothing. Nothing at all. They failed to open the Pandora's Box. They went back to SM North frustrated. I wanted to stay more in Megamall so I did for a cause, Erika. Kitchie Nadal look-alike. She's charming. I felt an attachment towards her. She's one of the person that I entertain and introduced to the fellow GC members and Pinoycosplayers. I walk her till she reaches for the ride home. I finally found my inspiration. Then I went with the Megapeeps, and hangs with the GC's Christ scavenging food for Noel. We were very excited for the next week.
I logged in GC to found out that it was on the purging process. The Project Armageddon was implemented. An online Marshall Law.
Second Sabbath: The Gates of Suzaku
The forces of Suzaku were crashing down. The seal was finally broken as the invading Warriors of Genbu, Seiryuu and Kohryu rampaged through.
Tessa sends me a SMS message. She said that she's going to burrow the dreaded Yukito costume from me because her boyfriend Rocky wants to cosplay for once. And the Kalina Ann for Lexy that I am working on were almost done.
Then the second Sabbath came. I came to Megamall wearing only ordinary clothing: A elvish green T-shirt Noel has given me and a maong pants. I brought the costume which Tessa asks for. Along with Saoyran's Staff that only appeared from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles manga. I asks her if it would be OK if she would pay me. The costume is for rent. Of course I have given her a good deal. If Rocky was the one who would use it, then he can make a Pancit Canton Bento for us as a payment. Instead, she told me she can treat me lunch for it was her birthday within the past days. The deal was close. Then Shawn was with the most of the Megapeeps, with Andrew and the gang, propagating a new club that counters Yui's T. I. I. S. (stands for Tang Ina Single Ako which stands for Motherfuck! I am still single!!). And that was T. I. R. A. (Tang Ina Rapist Ako. And it means Motherfuck!! I'm a rapist!!). I gave them a hard laughter. It was Shawn and Andrew's idea and they want me to make a Club inside GC that bears the name. Of course, the meaning of T. I. R. A. must remain confidential (Unless you are reading my blogs). Nothing more were interesting on that except I challenge Josh to a Magic Duel and I lost to him consecutive times. I think I have a very slow deck and I need to reconstruct it. Then after the Duel, we went back and found the most were gone, including Shawn and the Galas Bois. You can count the leftovers with the fingers of an embryo: Aaron, Josh, Andrew, Joe, Castro, me and some others. Then we decided to transfer to Shangri-La. Some parted and the only one remained was me and Castro. Then we saw the other Megapeeps there, Noel, Vee Jay, Alphonse and his brother Ian. Then Castro plays Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection, as the most of us enjoyed upskirting Lili. Oh yeah.
Tomorrow is a big day.
I encountered only a few problems in getting to the biggest mall in Asia. That day after the Sabbath was the opening of the SM Mall of Asia at the edge of EDSA, near the Manila Bay. There was an event the cosplayers were looking forward to that's going on Toy Kingdom. And that was the registration for the National Cosplay Competition.
Nash sends me SMS to stay connected to me. She arrived a little bit earlier and she's with Shawn and the others. At last I have come and started to change into my High Priestess from RO costume. Marlon, a young Naruto cosplayer was with me, he'll color his hair yellow for the event. We went to the comfort room to change. After he does his hair, I asked him to help me change, because some parts of the costume was so difficult to attach, especially the lacy lingerie for the stockings. There were also some power failures occurring at the Mall's opening that slows our time. Gladly I have my small flashlight. After the costumes I went for the hair. Most of the men that went inside the comfort room freaked out. On with the event.
Almost everyone was there, except to some. It was one of the biggest cosplay gathering I have ever seen. The well-established polymers were there, standing as the event marshals and organizers. Then I registered then hanged out with almost everyone. The Galas Bois, Megapeeps, Nash, Madi, Erika, the Northern Guys and some others. It takes me quite long before my turn came in photo shoot. Reasons was my lateness and Karlonne's grand Freedom Gundam consume a lot of time. I just couldn't believe he does the Gundam costume alone. I was very happy for him. Then after that, I was looking for Tessa because of our deal. I couldn’t find her so I just waited with the others. Then the fun begins right after the Official Photo shoot. The cosplayers took pictures of each other, posing. Of course, Yaoi and Yuri was not left behind. Nash and Madi does some yuri that excites the guys and Yui as Kira Yamato from Gundam Seed Destiny does yaoi for fan girls with Karl as Alucard from Castlevania, Lye as Luffy from One Piece and some of the Pinoycosplayers. The controversial Mall of Asia Scandal occurred as Lye begins on upskirting me, or let's say molesting or raping me. I just laughed my asses out. Look, Ma! Luffy the Monkey was raping a High Priestess!! ><
Hours of happiness passes by and then it was becoming late. Group pictures of GC and PC was taken. Erika was good as sleepless so I have to comfort her from her insomnia. Then we all decided to go take a walk around the mall. But we voted as we came to the bayside. The vote favors the bayside instead of the walking around. Everyone was tired so we did go by the sea and take some rest. We were having fun by listening to each others story. Erika was with me and we talked about various things like studying. Yui bragged in our conversation telling me that we are having a heart to heart talk. I just smile. He knows what I am doing. It was getting very late so we decide to pack up. There was supposedly a drinking session but it was postponed. So we have to go home. I went with Erika escorting her home. Along the way I lend her my shoulder for support. She's got weary enough for the day. Even Shawn smirks at me as he knows that I am fallen for her. Shawn and I parted in Shaw Boulevard. I was still with Erika. We continue to chat going home. Showers gradually begins to till the ground that I never expected it to happen. I walk her home and finally I have confess my feelings for her. She told me that she deny all of her suitors for studying and I understand. But I always wanted her to know that I like her. I won't give up on her, even if I would wait for her. Then we parted our ways.
The day was finally over as the rain pours from above.
Third Sabbath: The Remaining Days
It was very late when all of us realize that the real enemy was the most ancient god. But does it really Kohryu or someone was behind all of this?
It was Monday, I was invited by Ayen for the Kujuu Mutsu, where they need more manpower again. So I did come at SM North. I saw Roy there, and he's almost wasted in waiting. He told me that he came from UP where the shooting would supposedly to take place. Instead, Ayen send him an SMS saying that the shooting for the morning was cancelled and Ronald, our director would come at SM North around two in the afternoon. So he went at the Mall and almost sleep there the whole day in waiting. Then we waited patiently for Ronald, until Jonathan came. Few minutes later, Ronald came. We also saw Rocky and invited him to come with Tessa but they did not. I reminded Tessa about the borrowing fee, but she didn't reply. I feel the old ancient breeze that I buried long ago awakening. Something evil. So there we go to UP.
We arrive at passed four. Then we immediately began on shooting footages. I have assisted Ronald for the camera. He his our director yet he have a role in the 1910 setting. I take footages of their fight and some scenes. It was fun that I learn a lot of things that I could use in the future. Then I finally have myself on as a shadow warrior that Jonathan would kill. I appeared three time to make a trick that Jonathan was fighting three shadow warriors. I died three times ~.^. It was getting and late that the camera couldn't sense any light anymore. But at least we get the hang of it. The day was over and before we go, we went to SM North to grab a bite, Ronald's treat. I decided to go with Roy and hang a bit with him. We went to Megamall with Ronald. He has a meeting with the Otakuzine staffs, and he was the Official Photographer of the National Cosplay Competition last Sunday. After handing the CD with the staffs, I, Ronald and Roy went with Mr. Fart or Irving. Then he treat us Chicken Stake. We talk about Mike Abundo's action of stealing Mr. Fart's photographs and Mike Abundo cLyems that it was his. He even uses Alodia and Jerry's (the top cosplayers in the Philippines) Pictures without their consent for his website. After the rubbish about Mike Abundo, Ronald shows our footages that we did earlier and have a great time. He even gives us a ride home. After reaching Roy's place, I decided to hang for a moment with Sonar and Roy, playing with cats, watches a kitten being molested by a bobcat and talk about the Silent Hill movie. Then I went home.
Ayen sends me another SMS message on my celphone. She asks me if I could bring some props as weapons. So I did come. It was Friday.
I waited long at the usual place in SM North. Yet no one came. So I called Karlonne and told me to come over right away. After the call, I waited a little more and then left the building. Fortunately, I meet Ronald with Shela or Kuri along the Monumento Bridge. So all together went to Karlonne's place and began on shooting. Shela's quite talkative and she's funny. After the shooting we all have a great time. They went home and I went to see Mark Setsuna, but he was not at home. So I decided to go home. I visited my brother on his work at the bar near our place and got an extra. Just like I need.
I logged into GC and saw the mess Theresa has told me. About Mopsy's explosion and Maui's power struggle against the members. I posted my opinions and made another time bomb. Who says that the Parinigan Booth wouldn't be established anymore? I just did. Tee-hee. It was such a miracle for me that I remained placid and made my very first wise move during the chaotic hours of GC. Usually I added fuel to the fire. I felt renewed.
The Sabbath finally comes. I brought the costume like Roy told me. But he didn't wear it geez. I brought also some chocolates and shared them with the GC. Then Karl approached me and told me something about the guitar that his friends from Galas were leaving him. As If I should listen to him. Karma was working now on my side like the Oracle of the Cards did tell me. He now goes with the flirting noobs. Then I went to Time Zone for some action. The Remaining was complete along with the new members. Undertaker or Azaka and Bismarque, Jam's so called twin. Then finally Shawn arrived with Theresa and talked about Mopsy's grudge inside the forums. Again Sonar and Shawn kicked me out from the conversation, but I must not be left out. Mopsy is my friend and she's also my concern. After the talk, Jam begins on talking to Sonar about the concern of Maui's power tripping. Also as a member of The Remaining, I joined Jam and the rest. I am doing this also as a citizen of GC. I shouldn't be left be neglected anymore. Each of us discussed our opinions with the God of Gamer Clan. Jam delivers Maui's power trippings that intimidated the newbies like Undertaker and Bismarque. He even handed him a print out of Maui's posted message concerning the subject matter. And now I used my Big Brother powers against Sonar and I insisted that he must listen to me because our forums were the real concern. I told right in his face that the Project Armageddon and Rebirth was totally useless. Plus he must talk to Kei and Maui about the GC members' concern. And that's it. I was supposed to come to Deluriane's Place for her Birthday Bash, but instead I waited Edama. Then he came but we cannot leave immediately. He is waiting for Mike because he ordered him Anime CDs. Then while waiting, Aaron and I played with Magic Cards. I lost many times. Pretty slow deck I have. He borrowed decks from Josh and tried them out. Pretty powerful, and the match ended up in two against none. There was also a draw. Now I have to assemble my deck again. While playing Noel, Elise, Edama and Josh was looking at the Newtype Magazines I borrowed from Edama and talked about cosplaying. And they all laughed in my Green jokes due my hyperactivity that day. I put malice into everything. I even played Magic with a Yu-Gi-Oh battle sheet. After that, Noel, Veejay and I looked for some Magic Cards in Comic Alley. Fortunately I have bought some cheap but powerful cards. Then There goes the Remaining. With Edama and me, we made fun of the High Priestess costume I wear as Edama wears his Acolyte costume. And made a funny photo shoot at some animal rides. It was so funny. We even tripped over the Naked Guy cross-stitch on the frame. Bismarque and I talked about some sort of things including my recent problems. I realize then that I felt much comfortable with the Remaining. With Jam, Barbie, Limuel and Mindy. Now with Bismarque and Edama. They seem to be more interesting. Then we met Roy, Noel, Veejay and Alphonse at the usual spot at the side of Shangri-la. The most of the Remaining went home and Edama stayed with us. Edama and I talked about her. The girl who left. I was so careless to elaborate my affections towards her. Good for Edama, he can talk to her even though she loathed the most of GC. And one good thing, she was on the recovery stage, like he said. I was so glad. And then we went home after some few hours.
The next day I went early to Gateway Mall for the Gundam Seed Destiny group cosplay voice recording to found no one was there waiting. I immediately went back home after loading my phone and talking to Cheska.
Forth Sabbath: The Disciple of Malice
...It was very late for us to find out that Kohryu himself was corrupting everything... and now the end was impending near.
Monday, another Kujuu Mutsu shooting would take place again in Notre Dame School in Monumento. I went to SM North, were we will all meet. I met Karl, Yui and Rocky. And now we after playing some arcade games, we hurriedly came down to food court. Shela was waiting, and good thing Sonar also came along. And now we shall wait for Ronald, our director. After a couple of hours, Ronald came and now we altogether went to Karlonne's place.
It was such a miracle that Mark Setsuna, Potpot and Jaypee were with us, and on spectator mode. Tessa, Aaron (The Boss, not the Aaron whom I play Magic with) and Jacob also appears. At Notre Dame School occurred a problem. We cannot take photo shoots immediately. The Head departed from the said school and now the assistant is having problems in finding the papers. Then they would talk about the papers first. Ronald was supposed to postpone, but Tessa made a way. With Ayen, they went to St. Mary's Academy, were she spent her High School days. Without any efforts, we were able to begin the shooting at the said school without any difficulties, in spite the night is approaching fast. Then we must make also the shooting fast. First was Yui and Yui's fight. It was so cool. Ronald even makes a mistake by shooting the scene that was not on the script, and that was Rocky killing Yui with Yui's own sword. I teased Yui about this and we laugh. Yui's fangirls will grow angry at Rocky when they see this. Tee-hee. Then we began our scene with Karl and DJ, Ayen's cousin. It was fun but night is approaching fast, we must transfer to a lighted-up corridor. Then some scenes then there I go, I died for the fifth time since the assassinated politician. I just smiled and laugh after that, teasing Ayen what would be my next reincarnation. It was fun. After my scene, I saw Tessa wandering around her old school. Then at the time we leave, we checked first the video. Sonar was so shocked to see his own smile very disturbing. For me it was quite disturbing and yet very impressive. Then we dropped by at SM North again. Tessa and Rocky went to Quantum to play arcade games while Ronald treated us Chicken Stakes. Then we left with him, sending Tessa SMS we're leaving. After riding the MRT and jeepney that leads to Pasig, we parted from Ronald and I came with Sonar to his place. We climb the stairs to heaven. Then Roy appears after some few minutes. Then we talked and talked but it didn't last long. Sonar was very tired he needed to take a break and Roy has something to do. Then I left.
My mom woke me up one day and invited me to join her in a facial session. Then after treating my skin, I ask her that I wanted to watch The Da Vinci Code. So I did, munching my fave snack then I bought some Magic Cards in packs that cost around PHP 10.00. The next day I found out my jaw was aching dew to munching a lot of snacks last night. I went to work that night at the bar and Jong invited me to drink with his friends. Too bad I passed out when they decided to table some girls. I felt stupid.
The next day I woke up on the bar I use to work to. Around nine in the morning I left the bar and walk home. There is a swimming event today. I arrive at Louis' place in Pasig by twelve in the afternoon. Just in time to enjoy the swimming. There were also Pinoycosplayers, Ryan, Lye, Neil, Nilo, Lexy, Jeff and a lot more. From GC we have Mr. Fart, Karl, Yui, Kei, Roy, Sonar, and a lot more including a new member Peeps. For hours we enjoyed swimming, snacks and drinks. It was fun. By five in the afternoon we need to pack up. Lexy then gave me her down payment then altogether we go ride home, unfortunately, it rained hard, immobilizing out tricycle and drenching us in rain water. After we get to the terminal, we rode an FX Taxi and went to Megamall. The traffic was also heavy. We waited for long inside the FX Taxi wet and suffering from the air conditioner's coldness. I catch a cold. Yeah. I was with Kei, Peeps and Cholo. We waited for his dad to pick us up and I stayed over his place for an hour. Then he told me how to get home from his place so I could visit him anytime. Finally I went home.
The next day was Sabbath. I brought Lexy's finished Kalina Ann to her place, and now I felt like visiting Shawn, so I did. Then we came together to SM North. There we meet up with Cheska at Quantum. After an hour, Theresa was not still there. Shawn started to get worried. Then Jetro came and some familiar figures started to appear. Shawn and I decided to go to Mopsy's place to see if Theresa was there. In sheer luck we met them descending at the footbridge. Shawn was a bit annoyed. All of them, Mopsy, Tanya, Theresa and her sister Christine wear gowns as if they were attending a formal party. They were on Kikay mode, they say. Then we return to Quantum. There were Ziv, Hans and some of the guys I use to chat when the Guilty Gear group cosplay was still intact. I was wondering, I cannot control my mouth when I was talking to Ziv, as if I was lively. Funny, I felt strange. But that's a good sign. Then we were supposedly to play Dungeons and Dragons at SM North be Cheska and I wants to go to Megamall for we will meet with someone. Whether they like it or not, most of them were forced to come with us. I told them that we will be going against all the odds. Finally we were at Megamall. There were a lot Pinoycosplayers and GC members at the food court. Somehow most of the north people felt irritated as I know it. Then we began playing Dungeons and Dragons at the food court. Damn guard, still scrutinizing us so we were force to transfer. It was a good thing Edama and Mr. Fart was interested in joining in, which really favors Me and Shawn. Mr. Fart also treated us Chicken Steaks. Then we began to play. Cheska became to party leader. And her job was a porn star. Good thing we were freely to customize our characters. I inspired my character to look like Silas from The Da Vinci Code. Since Edama and I were both monks, I copied his skills, because I heard that he is a more experience DnD player. The situation was really funny, the bubbly Cheska really cracks things up that made the campaign funny. Then after few hours, we must resume it sometime. Then we return to Club Synergy were most of the Pinoycosplayers and GC Members hangs. I even played Magic with Mr. Fart. and lost three times. He has such a powerful and fast deck. After playing he suggested me to add some lands. Then I realize that I must reconstruct my deck. Then we went up to Glico's at the fifth floor, were the most of them sings at KTVs. They were supposedly to come to Jeff's place to drink. Since my destination was different, I told Yui that I would join the Galas session tonight. So I left with Shoji, upon hearing that Markel left.
We came early, just before they began drinking. While I was eating snacks, Shawn talked to me about some private matters like relationship problems. Then as we saw the most of us were coming and ready to drink, we came along. We started the session. Gin with Island Lime was the subject. While drinking, Shawn and I continue our conversation about some future plans. Then they began on strumming on the guitars. The topic about the lost guitar was brought up. While they were talking about the failures of bandmaking and compositions, I made them listen to my composition "She Hates Us All" that Dante work on the chords immediately. I was so glad. The piece was finally completed. Then we all laughed as we all begin speaking like cleft palettes. As the morning draws near, we need to pack up and I need to go home. At last.
Finally I was able to update the records. It was very hard, I encountered a lot of obstacle, and now, I feel very cool. I don't know what would this new week or month would bring. And now, I have a new project, and that was Edward Elric's Automail, right after the Kalina Ann. Now I am finished writing the Records of Wars and now I am going to begin on the Prophecy of the End and the Gospel of the Second Magdalene. I'll see you in Hell.
The world will be destroyed to purify the dark hearts of men, and for the most worthy of gods to begin a new generation of faithful seeds. So mote it be.
11:09 PM ...another day has ended.
