Requirement elicitation.
From the future me: This is my current “personal” project. If it is successful, you might not see me again [in this Internet world thing].
Words of caution: This blog entry might be a resurrection of a “love-quest” method I’ve made in my Multiply days. I basically cancelled the account for that occurrence. I don’t want another blog going poof for doing something wrong, but I guess I can’t help it now –
Went idle at 11:02PM.
Guys, let’s look at the picture at the left for a while. For some major otakus (probably like the people I often see at the Gokongwei lobby, watching tons of these), or even the not-so obsessed, they’d say that this is Kuchiki Rukia of the Bleach series –
Returned at 11:04PM.
And of course, these people would be correct. But that would not be my case. You see, when I first saw this character (not necessarily this picture), the first place I’ve looked at is not Wikipedia. Or the Anime News Network’s encyclopedia. Instead, I looked at the left of my monitor screen, where my instant messaging contacts are always placed.
Now, look at the picture again. But this time, compare it to your contacts. Look for the closest comparison. See it? Riiight.
See? That’s my problem right there. The only way I can express something sensitive is to remove the “sensitive” part from it. Of course, anyone can say “I love you” that easily, but it becomes difficult when you say it with sensitivity in mind. Like, you’re going through eight to ten sentences of mind-boggling crap, or telling cryptic messages as if you’re asking him/her the answers for your algorithmic homework, until you say those three simple words, or in the worst case scenario, not saying them at all.
I remember that one time when I used to blog about confession plans to Den, producing timelines and what-not. Gwen’s in for it, too, because I told her to. But then, I don’t know why I happened to dial an incorrect mobile number at that time, but it sort of meant to be that way, anyway. (Yeah, I can hear people sarcastically giving me condolences from miles away…)
The only time I said these words (except to my parents, as they are the only ones giving me warmth for seventeen years) was about seven to eight years ago, and after that, it’s as if I feared of it.
But these matters aside - whoever this person is (as I’ve said, not Rukia herself), I love her because of who she is.
Too bad because — Have you ever heard of being “very near, but very far?” Like, hell, I can poke her for all I care, but unless that’ll change her thinking about me, distance (or lack thereof) is useless in itself.
Oh, well, at least I love it when she forces me to follow her to the office for no reason at all. Heheh. Those were the days.

Follow my instructions! 
(But I guess if I modify the picture, you’d actually find it out, wouldn’t you?)
