"That's good... that's bad..."

2008-08-12T05:02:06Z

"...Can I go now?"

Good thing: I was early for classes today
Bad thing: Way too early >_<

Good thing: I don't have big time-lapses between classes!
Bad thing: Wednesday schedule: English V: 8pm-9pm... >_<! (yeah, I only go one hour to work that day... and it's more like 30-40 minutes since it's the last hour)

Good thing: I have more time to spend on the afternoon and can hang out in the internet more!
Bad thing: It messes up my LUE Radio schedule... >_<

Oh well, I'll just have to deal with...

Let's see how the schedule turns out in the other school...

So I start working today again as a teacher...

2008-08-11T06:23:55Z

But I don't have my class schedule... yay...

>_<

Good thing I have my class plan though.
But still, not knowing at what goddamned hour I'm supposed to be there is kinda frustrating...

Oh well... gotta rest since a big semester is gonna come ahead.

Happy Teacher's Day (to me)

2008-05-16T06:05:57Z

I got pretty damn lucky today!

I got Okami for the Wii and The World Ends with You for the Nintendo DS, awesome games by the way.

What does that have to do with being lucky? Well, since I had to pick them out to foxhack's house (a close friend of mine from the University), I went to do some errands beforehand. So I went to the mall, first to pay off my credit card bill and make time. I usually go window shopping since everything there is way expensive though sometimes you find cool stuff and the arcades there aren't that bad either. But before I exited the mall, I was actually going to another store to check out some stuff, but decided not to because I wanted to go somewhere else to buy something to drink; on my way there I saw this Internet Cafe that had some games in their window display.
I immediately saw a copy of REZ for PS2 O_O! And then saw a copy of Gitaroo Man there too! I was like "OMGWTF?!"

I got inside the store and asked if they were selling those games
They said "yeah"
"How much for REZ and GitarooMan?"
"100 pesos" (around 9usd)
At that moment I got a little skeptic... and asked if the games were original copies and if they included everything (box and manuals)
He answered yes.
"I'LL TAKE THEM!!!"

So I got to Foxhack's house and showed him what I got, hehehe.
I'm now the happy owner of Okami, The World Ends with You, REZ and Gitaroo Man
=D

I definitely had a great day today, best teachers day. EVAR.

Video Games Live @ Mexicali!

The Earthquake chronicles

2008-02-12T05:29:01Z

In the past 4 days we have had 3 earthquakes surpassing the 5.0 degrees in the Ritcher scale...

And shitload of replicas surpassing the 3.0 scale, in fact as I'm typing this one replica occurred...

What will happen? I seriously don't know...

Let's hope this won't get really bad...

Hey another 3 months!

I was disappeared all this time because I didn't have an internet connection at home from August to just recently in the first week of November. Why money problems, still.

Though we're a little bit steady now, or so I think...

Oh well, I also got another job, still as a teacher in another school, and I'm still giving class in my old school. So I'm kinda busy most of the time.

My car broke down like 3 times in less than 2 months. I spent almost $1000usd fixing it... yeah I could've payed the down payment for a new one, but I don't have a lot money as you know, so I need my car, but now it's as good as new.

I haven't anything but work. I've had fun once in a while, but nothing worth mentioning, well except that my friends threw a b-day party for me ^_^
It was awesome.

BTW, I'm now a quarter-century old. (for those who don't know what a century is, I'm 25yo)

zya until the next update, whenever that may be.

P.S. 2 years in LJ, wow!

Hey, I'm still alive.

2007-08-27T17:31:09Z

I'm more busy than ever...
I got another job as teacher in another School (state funded school :D, which can be a good and a bad thing.)
Though I'll pretty much be busy on weekdays, though extra money is always good, and right now it's even better...

And I also don't have internet at home right now, so no fun for me... I miss LIVE... ;_;

PS. SPANISH CONFIGURATED KEYBOARDS SUCK!!!!!!

I think I'm going to EXPLODE!!!!! (random rant)

2007-07-18T07:17:42Z

Seriously, I need some rest FROM MY FREAKIN LIFE!!!!

I dunno I just want to get away from it all for a while and do other things...
just one day...
it is all I ask.

R.I.P. deft's Xbox 360...

2007-05-16T05:59:16Z

I save my PS2 from being dead, but now my 360 is not working...
;_;

Seriously, I've only had it 4 months and it's already broken, thank god for the 1 year warranty.
Though I'll be Xbox less for about 3 weeks...

Maybe I'll play more with my PS2 and Wii, I haven't been paying them too much attention for a while
=P

The death and rebirth of my PS2

2007-05-12T17:39:08Z

Yeah, my PS2 was dying... it was not reading any discs at all. No DREs, it just didn't read discs.
I was worried that I would have to buy a new one, and specially now that I don't have any money, though I thought it did a good run, it was 5 years and half old, and it only gave me DREs on blue discs, which I don't have (well, except for Gradius V, but I get it to work). And specially since a friend of mine also has his PS2 broken right now (what a coincidence, I know) and it was having the same problem as mine, though he opened it and he found the problem, his PSlim 2 wasn't working, the fliptop is not making enough contact to make the laser move.
Ok, so he now needs his PS2 repaired, he asked me to lend him mine, but that's where I found out of my own problem...

All that happened Thursday, now yesterday (Friday), I came from work and opened the console to see if I could fix it, I first cleaned the lens and removed all dirt (or most of it), tried the console and surprisingly it worked, it was working better than ever! Not even DREs on blue discs! So now my PS2 has an 2nd chance and now I can play calmed knowing that my PS2 has at least some life in it. ^_^

I'm starting to think I'm obsessed with my old job...

2007-05-08T04:32:35Z

I have had two dreams about getting re-hired at my old job, one I accepted to return (on my own terms), the other one I rejected to come back to them. The weirdest one was the first one, it was pretty surreal...

And I'm thinking of the "what would've beens"...
Meh, I need to get focus more on my actual job, and do a good job as a teacher.

On other news, my mom is getting sick, again... this time is her sugar levels, they're pretty damn high... and she has not been feeling well lately, I do hope she takes some treatment for this problem, but with her debt problems also bugging her, it's mainly all pressure.
I really do hope all ends well.

"I'm a translator, not a teacher!"

2007-05-04T21:14:16Z

How many times I said that during my years in the University...
Destiny, you are a big great bitch that hangs out with irony. (and maybe they're lovers)

Oh well, to go on ahead and do whatever suits me best
=P
I have screwed up some lessons, though not that bad or I have corrected myself in front of the class.
=X
And if I thought Telvista put my patience to the test, well this is like a SAT of patience.
But I still like it, and like in any job, it sometimes can be pretty rewarding.
^_^

Though I find somewhat funny that here, in the internet, I screw my English almost everytime I type something, but when I'm front of my class I almost never do that, pressure maybe?

And in other news, my parents are in debt. "Yeah, they're always in debt...", I thought, though this time is more serious... so serious, that now I'm broke. Yep, pennyless, I only have like 2usd on my debit card and also 2usd in my wallet, and I most possibly I will be that way until next month... and I don't think it will on the beginning of June...
Luckily for me, I don't have any debts until the end of the month (cellphone bill and credit card bill, and gas for my car), though I won't have any since I'm giving the rest to my mom... Hell, I can even afford to buy her a present for Mother's day!
Oh well, I think this help can count as something... =P

I also wanted to get Pokeymans! but that will have to wait for a while...
(my little bro, already has it... ='(... )
And also a play and charge kit for my 360 controller, since batteries aren't cheap...

I hope I can post some good news the next time I update.
Maybe Spider-Man 3 will be good
=D

P.S. The String Quartet is my new music addiction.
They're awesome!!!!

HOME ALONE! and other stuff.

2007-04-12T22:28:24Z

My family is on vacation these days, but since I have to work I couldn't go, but thank god! I needed a break from them.
I can currently do what I want, whenever I want ^_^

I returned to work this week, and it's been kinda busy since exams are due next week, and I have to prepare for them. And the last ones didn't turned out good...
Next week will flow away quick though. =P
And also I'm having problems with a group I have... only troublemakers... and there's specially this one girl who is totally against me for some reason. What reason? I seriously don't have a freaking idea...
But fortunately, and ironically, they're are my best group, grade-wise, so it kinda evens out.

Now for some gaming note, Boom Boom Rocket is awesome and kinda hard, even for a experienced CCR (Controller Controller Revolution) player like me, but still lots of fun, pretty addictive too. Though the achievements are kinda easy, kinda, if you play a lot, I'm just missing one achievement and it looks pretty easy to do. Oh and the music is pretty cool, classical music remixed.

All for now. Zya.

P.S. Mexicali climate is pretty weird... a few days ago is was hot now it's windy... if it were me I would say it snow next week, but that seriously won't happen.

It has been what? Almost 3 months?

2007-03-14T02:41:01Z

HOLY SHIT! AN UPDATE!

It all has been ups and downs, so here's a deft summary of this past 3 months.

Got fired from TelVista, and it was kind of a good thing, more free time. I spent almost a month searching for a job, and got it, as a teacher, so I'm now GTD, Great Teacher Deft! Though I haven't been payed because I need a school paper that says that I graduated from University/College, luckly that all has been settled and now I can get payed.

Though my job is not the best in the world because I'm teaching in Dangerous Minds kinda school... but I'm getting the hang of it. Though it's still pretty tough because they don't know absolutely nothing about English... I think I'm the first English teacher they had in a long time. My patience has been also been put to the test... more than being a Customer Service Agent...

The other teachers there are pretty good people to hang with. ^_^
The other sucky thing about this job is that I have to get up a 6am... =P
But considering the other things I have to deal with, that is the least of my problems.

I also got an Xbox 360 like a week before getting fired from Telvista. XD
Good timing, ain't it?

Gears of War is totally awesome, and Viva Piñata is not totally kiddy and it's pretty addictive.

As final words of this deft-summary, Gameloft can go and suck my dick. I totally fit for the job but NOOOOO, they don't need my services right now, and what do they do? Hire people who know shit about it... DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Well that's all for now. I hope I can update more regularly this time.
hehehe.

Never, ever, underestimate how far can the feelings of a human being can go...

2006-12-25T00:06:44Z

Seriously, this week there have been crazy, but I mean CRAZY people calling to us this week... We've had a ton of laughs though.
But oh well, nothing that we can't solve... (yeah, right.)

But in other news, two "parties" this week, one was meh, the one I had last night was pretty fucking hilarious, we all ended up drunk, but some more than others. Remember kids, 1 tequila, 2 tequila, 3 tequila, floor. (though I drank 6 shots =O)

And I'm Happy for Happy Sky, that game owns!

And I also wish a Happy Holiday to all.
^_^

(Btw, I work tomorrow... =P
but triple pay, yay! =D)

Sometimes I get the weirdest calls at work...

2006-12-13T05:28:32Z

   A photo clerk, or photo associate, as we call them, called to ask for "credit" (kinda like a refund) for an order a customer placed for a calendar.

     I said, "Ok, lets check the system". There were two orders for the same customer, 2 different sizes of calendars, I checked the one the clerk was talking ot to my surprise the order was kinda messed up, it had a duplicate image, and the customer wanted 2. Ok, no prob., lets do a redo for this. I said to the clerk to describe me the photo that was missing to check for it on the order we had on the system, since she didn't know exactly, she passed me to the customer. "This may get ugly...", I thought.
     Ok, I told the customer that we have 2 orders for her on the system, the one she had there at the store and an order for two smaller sized calendars that it was shipped recently. She told me that she didn't order the bigger calendar, she had ordered the 2 smaller ones. Hmmm... mix up on the system or screw up from the clerks...? most definetely the latter... but since it was also a screw up on our part, not totally but partial, it was still my duty to help the customer, so I was going to make the notes on the system for it. But first, the customer wanted to check on the other order to see if it was right. Ok, no problem by me, it's better because maybe there was a mess up also and we needed to redo them...
     She told me that she ordered calendars a year ago, and "we" screwed them up (oh... what a surprise... *rolls eyes*). We redid them, but she got them way past Christmas... mid-January... but she still hoped that we can do a good job this year (talk about blind faith).
     To our surprise there only was one mess-up, an image in a month of the calendar got mixed with another month, other than that it was good. So the customer said that she'll accept those anyway, since it's a minor mixup, not to influential, so I told her again that those calendars were shipped and they should be in the store soon, and I told her about the credit for the other calendar, then she asked me that if she can keep it to show it to her sons that were on College since those calendar were a gift for them (the calendar is of her sons growing-up, awwww), I said to her that the store needs to keep the calendar in case we need it back, just for personal records, then she told me that she didn't mind and that she'll pay for the messed up calendar. "Uh... No problem then. Uh... Is there anything else I can help with?", "No that should be all.". Wow... "Thanking for calling Ms. and have a nice day.".

     On training we were thought the FISH philosophy, one of the 4 mottos is "Make Their Day", well maybe I did made her day, but she totally made mine. I talked about this call with some co-workers and my supervisor and they laughed also at this call, since it one of those rare calls we seriously don't expect to end that way.

     And most happen to me. XD

     On another note, Happy Sky! My copy got shipped yesterday and I'm so happy. And last week my copy of Gyakuten Saiban was delivered, yay. Though I haven't got much to play it though... but I finished the first case =O, it was awesome!

     BTW, Chivas FTW. Club Deportivo Guadalajara "Chivas", 101 years making history, and 11 Championships in the making. ^_^

Am I doing things right or wrong...?

2006-12-06T07:37:22Z

Seriously, I think I do my best at work but sometimes I think that I don't get considered for to many things there...

It's like their saying "good job, keep it up", but they don't mean it, but they really do...
Yeah, I been kinda messed up with some things lately (lots of thinking with myself).
Most possibly I need to be more active and raise the hand more at work (even though I do...)
Maybe my supervisors and managers think I'm ready or they haven't found me a place for me to excel, rather than taking calls.
Maybe that 5th place in Quality got way over my head, but one thing is for sure, I have to be more than I can be, prove my worth and do everything I'm told to do.

DAMMIT!!!

2006-11-24T04:03:08Z

My copy of Phoenix Wright 2 from Play-Asia hasn't arrived...
I tried to buy Wii points from the Wii, and I wouldn't let but Nintendo Still charged me for those points...
I only have 10dlls left on my debit card so I can't buy anything for Black Friday...
And I won't get my bonus from work until 3 weeks more...

DAMMIT!!!!!!!

...

Oh well, happy Thanksgiving....

Dear Santa...

2006-11-14T03:20:03Z

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

Last week I helped gimmetokyo hide a body (-173 points). In September I farted in an elevator (-6 points). Last Friday I ruled Iran as a kind and benevolent dictator (700 points). Last Sunday I committed genocide... Sorry about that, bluerain (-5000 points). In November I gave littlekuriboh a wet willie, then I took it back (-5 points).

Overall, I've been naughty (-4484 points). For Christmas I deserve a spanking!

Sincerely,
_deft_o_k

Okay...
I'll buy my own presents then =P
(though a spanking is nice ;D)

That was Halloween! (and last week and my b-day)

2006-11-01T18:04:03Z

Hi again!

Last Friday was my b-day, pretty sucky if you ask me...
I barely got congratulated, and I didn't get any gifts from my family.
But meh, I can't complain, I gave myself a new cellphone (w300i), so all cool.

And working on weekends suck... we barely got any calls (8 in total for the whole weekend)...
Though we got some pretty good laughs.

And yesterday was pretty cool most of my co-workers went to work with a disguise on, including me.
I dressed up as a hobo. XD
My co-workers, supervisors, and bosses told me it was pretty good idea. Lots of props ;D (I may be getting an extra payed freeday or maybe an incentive, though I don't know for sure...)

and this weekend I'm going to Tijuana to visit some friends over there, since my last attempt to go there was sunk by pay and that the guys over there had other plans too...

BTW, deftones' new album is out. GO BUY IT.
(you can give me it to me as a late bday present ;D)

Today was a pretty slow day...

2006-10-26T06:53:16Z

way freaking slow...
Today lasted an eternity, besides some pretty shitty calls I got today at work...
oh well

But I got my new cellphone =D
a w300i, pretty cool phone.
I already filled the memory up with songs
XD

"Ya voy a trabajar, ya voy a trabajar"

2006-10-22T00:19:08Z

I start to (do real) work on monday...
I'm calmed, and ready for big action.
It's a good thing that I go to work until noon. Hehehe ^_^
And my free day is Friday, which is kinda good, though I wanted saturday... oh well
Maybe I'll go tomorrow to the arcade and relax some more before the real big day.

On another note, I might be getting a new cellphone next week. I'm still deciding between a Motorola U6 (MotoPEBL), a MotoKRZR (though if it's free only...), and a w300 (Sony-Ericsson mp3 Walkman phone). Though I have to get approved for the plan so it's not sure I'm getting either of those phones... though I'm leaning towards over the U6 since it comes in green. Green is my fav. color; though there are other factors that I have to see if I'm getting that phone or w300; but if the MotoKRZR is free I'll take that one. =P

BTW, have I told you how much I love deftones new album.
=D
