Surviving the Horror... this is YOUR story

Delaqroux Inc calling all zombie-invasion fanatics out there!!!

Just recently, me and my friend have been starting this plan on gathering worldwide zombie-invasion fans throughout the world... just via a wonderful modern technology we call blogging.

Here's the deal; a zombie virus outbreak have struck humankind in your neighbourhood/city/state in a sudden wave. World population dropping down drastically while the zombie population is increasing at a shocking rate. Somehow, you, in this zombie-invaded world, survived the first wave and you are probably now in hiding, have a working computer next to you and you're desperate to call for help. Finally, you figured out that one of the possible way of callling for evacuation, is to write a blog on the internet to notify the world of your positions and your survival with hope that someone might read it one day and come over to save you.

Here's a few guidelines:
  1. You are you. Your character in your blog shares all the same personality with you in real life. You're no hero nor a villain- but perhaps, desperate conditions to survive will make you one. Apply your own real life mentality; surviving made you closer to God while others stopped believing. Apply your own priority; your life comes first before your friends or you try to save as many as your loved ones as possible. Anything as long as you stays you!
  2. Although the storyline is imaginary, try to apply real life elements as much as possible. Preferably, the timeline within your post(s) is parallel with real-time timeline, your positions of hiding may be your actual house in a real neighbourhood, the world that you're living now may still be the same world as how you see it- except now everything is zombie-strucked!
  3. You can have cross-overs with another survivalist who is another blog writer in the zombie invaded world. However, this may take a lil more effort as both blogs must now be coherent with the inclusion of you in that person's blog as well. I mean, you cant write that you met this other survivalist/blogger when there's no such meeting in the other person's blog. In other words, both of your blog and the person that you have met must be sychronized to a certain extent. Hopefully, we can maintain real community realism to this whole fictional zombie-invaded world. You may have a bit of role-playing element to include within your storyline. For example, you asked him/her of her current position, you show some sympathy on his/her current situation, or you commented on one of his/her blogpost for encouragement on simply telling them that you dont agree with what he/she did. This aims to build of a community based blogging experience only in a setting of surviving the horror.
  4. The people you meet along the story may be both fictional or non-fictional. For non-fictional ones it may either be your own friend in real life or another survivalist. For fictional ones, well let's just say he/she's an NPC that you met along a zombie game
  5. Your blog may not be limited to written text only. You may include pictures, recordings, videos and notes. As long as they relate with your survival story. Take into account that if you took a pic, where did you get the camera from? Why do you even want to risk going out and take pics?
  6. You may end your survival story at any point of time. You may end it with you being evacuated and thus, you shall end that blog or you may end it with a word of surrender; as in, you see no more point in writing (for your own reasons). Additionally, a blog with no more posts may also mean that the blogger got killed while he is away DX

This is still a small scale plan but hopefully we can expand this to be a long, world-wide, never-ending community blogging. We have managed to recruit a few more blogger to play survivalists in their own blogsite and they have started their surviving stories- how about you?

Here's a few survivalists that have started their own survival story;

Working with Ann and Reva

Well, title's a big spoiler this time, dont you think... nah, what the hell....

Delaqroux Inc Updates

With the passing up of MS assignment, the air around the college has chilled down by a tad- enough for us to breath again. What's more, the group presentation for ELTM is over as well so everything's cool in the meantime. Now that just leaves the ELTM written paperwork, LNL assignment and the CM assignment to be handed in... huh... talk about a lil air to breather before the real toxic bomb drops in... Damn..

In any case, i teamed up with Reva, Shen-Ann and Irrina the past few days for the ELTM group task. And come to think of it, i've been friends with Ann and Reva for a long time already and this is actually the first time that i'm working with them instead of just joining them for crappy leisure hangouts. Contrastingly, i worked with Irrina plenty of times before yet i am still having difficulty trying to remember her name when i see her or trying to remember how she looks like when people mentioned her name to me (Irrina, if you're reading this, i... uh... i have amnesia! Dont blame me for my lack of remembering people ability! DX)

Aaaanyways, yep, it was cool working with Ann and Reva... (or Reva and Ann... just trying not to make Reva feels not getting enough priority) Reva seemed to get pretty jumpy as the presentation deadline drawing in. There will always be the time when Son Goku from Dragon Ball Z turn super-saiya or unlock-hidden-potential crap when he gets serious. I guess Reva have her own way too. And, Ann, on the other hand, just remained blur throughout... and sleepy... oh well, she might actually been really stressed out to but i think she might had hid it thanks to my constant lempang-ing her in the head everytime she's not paying attention.. Sorry Ann... ^^"

In case Ann and Reva (or yes, Reva and Ann) are reading this, yep, it shall be time for me to kutuk myself now before both of you all start doing so or in worse case scenario, gang up to kill me. I know, i was always late for discussion and yesh, i was late during the actual presentation oso. So, si, me sorry... now we're even right? Bleh.... =3="

In all, it was cool working with Ann, Irrina and Reva.. (or again, Reva,Irrina and Ann). Both Ann and Reva will be going to MacQ so i guess i might end up teaming up with them again for some task. Yes, Reva will always be a drama queen and Shen-Ann will always be blur and sleepy.. But, i kinda look forward to working with them again any time soon =)

What we believe about heaven?

So what we believe about heaven?
Is only for those with minimal sin,
But shouldnt all sins be forgiven?
So everyone should deserve to come in?
Confucius believed man is born to be good,
But coz of life they strayed to the darkside,
While Sun Tzi belief that man is have an evil root,
But life'll draw them back to be ethically alright.
The point is here that there should be no extremity,
So what of "bad deeds only deserves worse sentence" rule?
If we say "hell is a place where sinners should fairly be"
Arent we sinners ourselves coz we're being unjustly cruel?

So what we believe currently about heaven?
These days it's getting a lil individualistic,
There's heavens specially 'made' for each religion,
And every heaven is also particular religion specific.
Since when does heavens became so religionist?
Or should i be asking who set all these beliefs?
Coz Muhammad and Jesus both said; always love one another,
So who started this belief of loving only the same believer?
So we believe a Muslim heaven is only for Muslim altogether?
And so with other heavens, i guess that believe is perfectly fine,
But what will a Muslim guy say to a dying Christian friend?
"This is our last goodbye; you'll be in your heaven and i'll only be in mine"?

So what more we believe about heaven?
It's how living people are dying to get in,
So often code of ethics is forgotten,
I will tell you from what i have seen,
It is as if there's a limited place reservation,
Or perhaps some problem of overpopulation,
That some people killed many just to get to heaven,
While others favour their own self-beliefs than salvation.
Does pinpointing one man's evil is another's good deed?
Even if we deny how big the sin of false accusations?
Dont we realize that we're planting the evil seed?
Where it'll grow to a tree of mistrust and retributions?

July's Birthday Outing

Delaqroux Inc Updates.


Here i am again, lock and loaded with all kinds of assignment and closing in datelines but still able to open up blank sheet of text editor on my blogsite and filling it up with the latest updates. Sigh... And on top of that, I even manage to go for an outing spree this July... and make a blog post about that.. Oh well...


In any case, yep, aside to the assignment, July also mark the month with so many birthday reminders in a year. Well, there isnt really that many. In fact, there are actually just three birthdays for this month. Then again, all these birthdays are lined up closely altogether that, similar to last year and a year before that, it calls for a three different outings in one week for three different birthday girls. And me, being the guy who believes that we should always be thankful of another person's existence, thus also believes that such appreciation should be shown through attending birthdays, thus recklessly attended all three outings despite his dead important assignments, ticking-bomb-like assignment deadlines and floppy-disk-flat wallet.
But i sure glad i did. Hell, it was fun =)

p/s:
Btw, sorry for the ridiculously short post. Was planning to elaborate this more but kept on procastinating and yyyyeah... i got meself a lil too lazy to be updating on this one :p

Gift of the Goddess

Prologue
Submit not to fear and anxiety, child,
For the wings of the goddess hath been spread
Across the horizon, beyond the land,
Aether's tear shall not scare thy wake
Phoebus's wrath shall not torment thy slumber
Erebus's abyss shall not haunt thy living
For the wings, the gift of the goddess, shall shield
And for the gifts they areEverlasting.

Act 1
Under the goddess's wings, yet never away from the goddess's watch
Sons and daughters succumbed to the unholy seven
Lust and hunger for the earth's heaven
Wrathful and envious for one another
Sloth and pride let souls live in denial
And greed to call the goddess's gift one's own

Act 2
Greed drove man far surpassing man's limit
Greed fuels man far beyond their content
Hence greed driven man thus forged vicious blade of avarice
Toward the heavens it is yielded upon
For the heavens shall be shattered
The skies to be slaughtered
Thine greed to be fed
And the goddess's gift, the holy wings, was shred
Seeketh them the nourishment of men's greed for thousands sons to come.

Act 3
Least thousand pass not, nay, very soon a moment thereafter
Sprawl across the continent darkness brought dismay
As of anger beyond words for men unthinkable follyand selfishnessand selfish men's greed.
Men may not fear the howling of the beast and wildreness alike
Yet, whimper men like mice to forcefully feed their sight
Their land now such indistiguishable Tartarus's mirage
O Goddess, they cry,
Protect your children once more and bless us with your gift
as everlasting as it was

Act 4
Succumb not to fear, my child
For the light you seek, be it light i shall bring
For the shield you wish, be it shield i shall bring
For the gift you pray, nay, naught it shall bring
Nay, child, Goddess's gift thy seek
Can no longer shields thee from thyself
And thy entity
Nonetheless, gift shall be blessin flames of purification
Shall cleanse the land
Be it the peasants or the maidens, the queens or the lords
Shall perish under the Goddess humble new gift
Of wrath and destruction

Epilogue
Submit not to fear and anxiety, child
Spreadeth hath the
Goddess wrath
Beyond the horizon, across the land
For the fires, the gift of the goddess, shall cleanse
thine sins and thee
And for the gifts they are unfortunately, everlasting.

Looking back at 'us'

Dark Delaqroux Inc Updates 002!

Haha. It's much easier to keep track of how many blogpost you have made when you just started your blogsite. It goes all the way when you feel all motivated to make a countdown of your posts, lost count halfway through, you tracked it back but you cant find back the number where you left off, and, in the end; you choose not to make that kind of post count no more. Okay, it's just my usual random ramblings before i start my blogpost. Doing that keeps me back on my typing mood and yep, so now it begins.

Today was the day of new intake of juniors in our college. Of course, not all of them are our age anyways. There are still the KPLI which are much older than us in TESL Cohort 5 but, being among the oldest of the oldest IPBA population here, the senior-ism is still there. For a bunch of us here; we chose to play by the rule that goes; "Juniors are juniors and seniors are us. As long as they know how to be good friends; they're friends" (I am playing by this rule as well, and proud of it). Regardless, some of the others here choose to stick with the conventional barbaric senior-ism style that goes "Juniors are juniors and we are thy seniors; we need to show em who's boss". This second rule, however, to me (along with all those adjectives that i just used), is a total a waste of time. Though i am not well informed or knowledgeable of any plans cooked up by the fore-mentioned community for the juniors, i do heard from a little black bird that they have some 'warm-welcoming' plans for the juniors tonight. Cant say that i agree with such way but, nah, convincing them to call it off is like you against the whole HEP unit (For first time Delaqroux's blog readers; HEP stands for "Students' Affairs Unit" and the people under that team was nothing but a bunch of pain in the ass who seem to care more about finding the students' wrongdoings rather than understanding the students' affairs. Technically, one term sums HEP up; "Douschebags Council")

Back in my (Gosh, starting to sound like one of those war veterans) days, the 'warm-welcome treatment' that we got wasnt that scarring. We were put in some room, Hitler holocaust cramming style, not being able to sleep for the whole night, have to endure some psychological treatment by the seniors and stuff. At that point, i didnt know what crossed my mind but i volunteered myself to get into the 'confinement' room. lolz. Guess it was somewhat a mental breakdown. Nobody pisses me off when i dont feel like getting pissed. I ended up in the 'confinement' room with a few more seniors, answered some lame interrogations and escaped mental-scarring-free (I even fell asleep when the seniors were talking to me XD). When i told this story to people and even for the people who witnessed the time i volunteered myself, everyone said that i really put myself in the crocodile's nest. Gosh, i dunno whether was i being brave, blur coz of lack of sleep or just plain dumb... Glad to get it all over with, nonetheless =)

Anyways, one of the major key event of the whole our-time-as-juniors experience was that i was in a hell of a thought-ocean throughout the week (um... yeah, though-ocean.. something like a see of thoughts- but slightly in different way of saying it. heh ^^"). For one thing, i keep on thinking why did i ended up in this course? Why am here and what am i supposed to do now that i got myself stuck in this place? I am quite sure that everyone must have been thinking the very same thing but the fact that I (yes, shoot me) didnt really missed home that much, made me cloud my own head only of that identity search matter in an over-dose scale and that was super painful.

Up til this point, i'm not too sure i got my answers to all that questions. Everything seems crowded and crammed in my head. Ecspecially for the fact on what am i going overseas for? To study; yes. To find my true identity; hmm... you can say that.

But for now,
one single purpose for furthering my studies in Australia that i can think of right now is that i dont want anyone there to be alone...

haha. whatever that means, freak.

whattatuist!! (what a twist) :p

Delaqroux Inc Updates; LIVE in BLOGSPOT!!

People usually say that the first post in your blog is supposed to be the one with the biggest impact for the readers. It goes something like; "give your readers your best shot, and make them come back for more". Well, yeah, that rule does apply when you are a guy with plenty of free time and in a venture for worldwide readers' reading attention. But let's face one truth, i am one half of a guy of that sort- i am a global-scale-attention-seeker wishing for any individual possible to read my lifetime stories and ponder together on whatsoever issues that came across this little mind of mine. Yet again, i am also (almost) famous for being the person who is god-lazy and simply do not write stuff if i do not feel like writing stuff. So, yep, this is my first blogpost over at whole new blogsite, Blogspot. Ta-daaaaah.....

In any case, just a lil introduction on who your humble narrator- or rather, blogger; shall be;
i'm just a normal guy with very little lifespan, normal daily occurences, undergoing a teaching career training programme, too lazy for a double grammar check, constantly using various types of bad words and swearing, love to think about philosophical issues before going to sleep, often woke up from his dreams and say "damn, what the hell was that?". wished he can undo his past if he ever gets the chance, forced to make decisions that will change history thoroughly and wishes that his last name is actually Vader and his first is Darth... Darth Vader.

Therefore, ladies and gentlemen,
This is your daily (well, not really "daily" in truth) dose of Delaqroux Inc Updates,
Live for ever the first time in Blogspot;
This is your blogger Dark A. Delaqroux,

and this is his story...
