Crab Mentality.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 05:12:00 +0000

Some people can be so annoying.
don't ask why.

People will try to put you down.

"There's not much of a difference between a stadium full of cheering fans and
an angry crowd screaming abuse at you. They're both just making a lot of noise.
How you take it is up to you. Convince yourself they're cheering for you.
You do that, and some day, they will." - Sue Sylvester, Glee

Inspirational.

I reckon these people who think negatively with their
environment, they're going to be the minorities in the future.

If you see something negative,
Don't try to pull it farther down.

What you need to do is to listen
and look at what you can do to pull it out
the grave it was standing in.

You do the first,
you'll look stoopid and insecure.
Do the latter,
You'll be a Hero.

Why people Hate.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 15:33:00 +0000

I haven't blogged for days.
To make up for my absence, I'll share something I learned just recently.

Why People hate.

There are some things in life that

some people experience

and some people don't.

some people have,

some people haven't.

Fame, Money, Power,

They have it, you don't.

then you start feeling this intense burning fire

on your chest, makes you want to cry,

makes you want to damn yourself,

"why can't I do better?"

This kind of hate is caused by envy, and jealousy.

There is also this kind in which,

He doesn't have anything,

he doesn't have what you have.

You only feel one thing for him,

'Pity'

There's this madness forming inside you,

slowly eating up what you had before.

Telling yourself:

"You can't pity a person who's doing nothing for himself anyway"

This kind of hate is caused by pity, and being greedy, and being selfish.

Next, there's this kind of hate in which

a person hates minorities because

of his personal security.

Criticisms, Bigotry, Prejudice.

This kind of hate is caused by Insecurity and Vanity.

Finally, there's this rare chance,

really, rare chance,

that one hates because he just wants to..

This kind of hate is caused by the lack of faith.

The lack of respect and obsolete affection for the creator.

the lack of appreciation turns the soul Bitter and unconscious about hate.

Now you know why people hate,

Why not try and spread the love?

Fifteen Official Music Video.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 01:15:00 +0000

It's official!

Taylor's next single is Fifteen!

Music Video is as great as her past ones!

Fifteen has been an inspirational song for me.

It's my most favorite song out of the album Fearless.

I think this is one of Taylor's most meaningful and heartfelt song.

Everyone can relate to it since it discusses the hardships and

inequitable experience of being a high school student.

Abigail, her real life bestfriend is featured at the video. The song is about her anyway.

Abigail the redhead that became bestfriends with Taylor after

they noticed that they both shared the same perception towards

Romeo and Juliet. They've been inseparable then.

What are you waiting for?

Play the video nooow!

Tell me how you felt after watching it.

(I got goosebumps and I almost cried ftw.)

Love Story Cover by Savannah Outen

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:11:00 +0000

Love Story Cover by Savannah and Josh.

The cover version is great! I love Savannah! I was with her since she started her YouTube covers.

I love Goodbyes, and If you only knew. She's a wonderful artist. I know she'll

make it big in Hollywood someday. This cover version is wonderful (although i can hear her shout some words).

The guy? That's Josh Golden. I hate him. >:) When I was on myspace and youtube, his myspace bot

will go add everyone and send them a message telling them to view/listen to his music. How desperate.

But as a singer I love his voice, but no thanks to the gay hair please.

What do you think?

Fixed the Blog Layout.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 01:28:00 +0000

As of this moment I am still in the renovation process of this blog.
I had trouble in creating a dual sidebar in blogger since they dont allow you to
create your own classes. They have Pre-formatted layout that you have to use.

I tweaked the .sidebar class and tweaked the .main class and got disastrous results.
I was scared, I never back up my files so, yeah.
It took me 2 hours just to figure out that expanding the .outerwrapper class
is the only solution to my problem.

Now I've got two sidebars yay! Do you think it's cute?
Leave me a comment on my Shoutbox and answer my poll.

Thank you.

I've posted a Poll.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:37:00 +0000

Since I can't decide which Domain name should I get.
I think I'd let you guys decide for me.

Presenting: Nokia X Series

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 23:23:00 +0000

I don't really know why Nokia keeps on catching up with the iPhone with the TouchScreen Hype,

When It's obvious that they can never catch Apple! And that is a VERY sad fact.

Nokia will release yet another competition to the Market. The "X Series".

(Oh lol don't you find it odd that Samsung, or whatever brand that is, had already released an X3 lol)

Nokia's introducing us to Nokia X6 and Nokia X3. With Nokia X6 having a Touchscreen Interface and X3 being a slider one.

So, what's new you ask? NOTHING.

Key Features of the Nokia X6:

3.2inch screen, 5 Mega Pixel Carl Zeiss Lens with a Dual LED Flash
TV Out, 32GB of Internal Storage
35 Hours of Music Playback / 16 days Standby time, Video Editing
A-GPS, Social Networking Features

Key Features of the Nokia X3:
2.2inch Screen, 3.2 Mega Pixel Camera
16GB of Internal Storage, Nokia Series S40 Operating System

The X6 is rumored to cost you a whopping 38,000 Pesos. While the X3 earns a modest price of 10-12k.
What I think about it:

NO Friggin way I'm saving up for an X6, I don't even know if I can save that kind of money.
If you're lookin for a touchscreen fone, why don't you get the Nokia 5800 ExpressMusic instead.
They've got the same functionality, and the 5800 only costs you 17k.

Darn. I wish I had all the money I want so that I can make a Hands-on review of these gizmos.

What about you? Will you buy the X series?

I'm thinking about..

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:41:00 +0000

I was thinking about purchasing a New Domain name since my
www.JopiSchmaltzy.com already expired.
I'm still going to be with the same web hosting.

Soo Here are my choices:
1. http://www.ramenkid.com
2. http://www.tofuwobble.net
3. http://www.jopkunography.com or .net

those who are asking, domain names are $9.99 annually
and my web host requires me $5.99 a month.
So when my new domain is active, please help me catch up with bills by clicking on the advertisments
appearing on my page. like the one below my Blog Banner/Header, on the sidebar, and on the footnote.
A click a day makes my bills go away. Lol.

New Music!

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:17:00 +0000

This week's music is

Paparazzi- Lady Gaga.

Be sure to check it out! It's above this post~

What do you think?

Top 5 things I hate that Everybody Seems to like.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:44:00 +0000

Okay so I think the title is Self Explanatory. No Ranting or Bitching out please?
This is my Blog, My Opinions only. If you want to bash me for posting this then do it in your own blog.

1. Reality TV.

-- I mean, Seriously? Don't you have your own life? Has it not come to you that Reality Shows aren't really that "Real", It's obvious that they're all scripted and stuff, Even if it isn't, Everything which is happening, and will happen is written, and planned.

Dang, some people even curse at the television when their bet is losing the game. I mean, Seriously?

Reality TV sucks the life outta you.

2. Justin Bieber.

-- Okay, I'll admit it, I had guilty pleasure on listening to his Music. His Music is okay, His voice is okay, (Especially for an underaged guy who hasn't even entered puberty.) But he's becoming overrated, superficial, and thick. Especially when he's hitting on Taylor on twitter, Seriously kid. Get stuck with your Hormonally-Charged tween Audience. You're going to be the Next Jonas Brother, or Jesse McCartney anyway (Oh, my bad, you'll still be stuck with tweens. haha!).

3. Korean Trend.

--Personally, I do not like the fact that KOREANs are dominating the Music, Tv and related media on the Philippines. I think that the fad for korean dramas, korean shindigs, is irritating. Especially when you're online and all you see on your Social Networking site is Korean 'Hanggul', or Annyeonghaseyo whatever. Note that I do not hate them Koreans, But I hate the fact that Filipinos are mutating into koreans because of this Domination.

4. Edward Cullen

-- OMG AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HES GORGEOUS.

Fcuk you. Seriously, Fcuk you to death.

I hate Edward Cullen and Everything about him.

"YOURE JUST JEALOUS BCOZ HE'S HOT"

Whatever, Miss Nerdy-Social Reject Fangirl. I don't even dig to "hot" like this sparkly vampire.

5. Twilight Series.

-- This, I hate the Most. Some people just walk in the cinema without even knowing what they're about to see, watching the movie they hear : "OMYGOD ITS EDWARD CULLEN", "I LOVE YOU EDWARD". They walk out the Movie house wearing a disgusted and irritated face, because he didn't understand the movie.

Twilight is the MOST overrated, Stupid excuse for a Novel. Fangirls who would kill for edward, HAVE you even read the book?. If not, think twice about idolizing someone like Edward. If by chance, You're just a fangirl who wanted to be raped by Edward, Sorry, but he doesn't rape Nerdy kids. Because for sure, if you're one of these Hormonally-charged fans of twilight,

then you're surely a nerd who is a reject and who has no life.

I'm not GENERALIZING all of them fans, I'm just sayin that It's okay to be excited for something,

but being overly excited ruins the fun and experience.

Haha, I hope I won't be eternally Hated by people who didn't even read the whole post. :D

Any further Elaboration, or Expansion to my Post is accepted and appreciated.

Just press the Comment Option below this post!

Why I hated Twilight.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:55:00 +0000

Aww, I'll admit it. I liked Twilight before. I loved Eclipse.
I was addicted to the series even before the Movies came. One of my cosplayer friends introduced me to the series.
Curious me, I bought the first book to read it. I didn't like how Stephenie Meyer wrote the books.
She was like, copying JK Rowling with her writing style.
But I love how it attracts the tween audience by using Edward Cullen, the ever-perfect hot vampire. Whatever.
Im not into twilight because of Edward. I love the forbidden love cliche. I love the monster-human interaction.

I was even telling my classmate-friends how I was addicted to the series. They were all like: "whatever",
"yuck- love story!". I lost interest because my friends thought of me as a loveless freak.
I stopped being a fan - just anticipated the movie.

When the movie was about to be released in the Philippines, my classmates, (remember them?) those who didn't listen?
look at them fangurling over that stupid vampire. I hated it more.
The series became overrated, overpublicized and superficial.

Everyone was being a nerd. But I think it's a good thing I stopped this addiction,
If I hadn't, maybe those freakos would be my bff's.

Anticipating the next episode.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 13:46:00 +0000

Have you guys seen this series?
I watched the first episode last week and I was instantly obsessed.
I downloaded the second, third, and fourth Episode.
Now I'm just waiting for the next episode to be released.

I love Glee!
Am I the only one who thinks Cory Montheith looks like Hunter Parrish?
I would most especially praise the performance of the Actors.
Lea Michele is doing great in this show, She being diva-like,
Kurt, being awesome. The (*spoiler*)Preggy girl on the 4th episode.
BUT the most effective actress may be the Cheerios Adviser.
I LOVE how she acts all Lesbo-Bitter. hahaha.

I would not be surprised if this show gets an Emmy next year.

Philippines! It's on ETC every tuesday 10PM.
Do not miss the hype!

Whatthef8ck is this: "Pepeng Malaki Misses Metro Manila".

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 11:23:00 +0000

Have you seen the News?

Their "Pre-emptive Evacuation" were reversely productive,

It caused Major traffic on the only way out of Marikina.

Thankfully, "Parma" changed its path.

*IN YOUR FACE Pepeng!*

Differin .01% Adapalene Cream.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 07:57:00 +0000

I don't have any problems right now except for one thing,

ACNE.

I went to the derma last month and Prescribed me a Retinoid "Differin: .01% Adapalene Cream",

I was hesitant on using it because the Dermatologist said that my Acne would become worse before it gets better, and it takes atleast 5 weeks before the medicine kicks in. I didn't want to get worse. but eventually, I tried it.

The first week was fine. The medicine induced redness on my cheeks. but other than that, i was feeling normal. It seems like it wasn't effective, my acne was still there. The second week was HELL. My face Peeled everywhere, everything I put on, Stings and burns! There was still no improvement on my acne. Third week still killed me. It got to the point where my Acne was worse than before I started the Medication. Fourth week my face calmed.

I am currently on the end of my fourth week. No burning, peeling, breakouts whatsoever, but the marks that my third week has left is still there. I'm currently planning on taking the medication for atleast 12 weeks, still hoping that I'll get that clear skin I used to have.

Lesson: Do not apply anything not prescribed by a doctor, on your skin.

Ketsana's out, Parma's in.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 06:37:00 +0000

Official News!

Typhoon Parma (local name: Pepeng) is set to make landfall this Evening.

People on Northern Luzon are making Preparations already,

You should too!

Typhoon Parma has a speed of 185-210 km/hr

That's almost TWICE the windspeeds of Typhoon Ketsana (local name: Ondoy)

PAG-ASA says that it will be a much more destructive storm than Ondoy

since it carries more Rain and Faster wind speeds.

I sure hope everything will be alright.

One tip: "Prayer"

Aperture and Shutter Speed.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:08:00 +0000

So I read my Nikon D60's Manual for the first time,
I was surprised It also has some tips for Beginners.
Specifically, I was browsing on how to configure Shutter Speed and Aperture
Using the P,S,A,M Mode.

After reading the instructions, I immediately tried the setting.
With the functionality of P,S,A and M mode:
P- Program Auto?
S- Shutter-Speed Priority
A- Aperture Priority
M- Manual Priority

I figured out that the most convenient Mode to use is the S Mode. (That's for me of course)
The only thing I have to configure in this mode is the Shutter speed.
I find adjusting the Aperture difficult, Especially when the environment has limited light.
*googles techniques on adjusting Aperture* lol.

That's if you're into Manual Photography.
If you're on Point-and-Shoot, There are also Different Modes like:
Auto(Flash), Auto(Non-flash), Portrait, Landscape, Child, Etc.

Tickets are already sold out.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 09:06:00 +0000

The Recent postponement of Katy Perry's concert led the concert producers
to add David Archuleta for a Benefit Gig. This is for the victims of Typhoon Ketsana.

The Said Gig was supposedly rescheduled to October 17,2009.
Now, I was planning on buying Front row tickets because I really wanted to see Archuleta on stage again.
A source told me that VIP, and Gold tix are already sold out.

Meaning the only ones left are Silver and Bronze tickets.
This is a HUGE disappointment for me.

So, Who's going?

Music Review: Everytime you lie.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 16:35:00 +0000

Everytime You Lie

Demi Lovato

Here we go again

"The truth is all that I can hear, Everytime you lie."
-A Perfect tagline for an Imperfect Breakup song.

Frankly, I was quite confused with the message of the song.

I don't know if the object of the song (girl) is still in love with the guy or not.

My friend told me that the "Everytime you lie" part is about the guy still into his ex.
Nevertheless, the lyrics were okay. It's relate-able, especially to those strong girls who

manage to cope with the pain of a recent break-up.

The Tune-- POWERFUL. A wonderful Jazz-RnB style not expected from Miss Lovato.

And the song was perfect for her range. She's doing pretty well,

I think she might even be nominated for an Oscar next year.

Everytime you lie has this something that makes you want to repeat playing it again and again.

It has this ballad-piano play feeling that calms you, stops you from your physical environment,

and sucks you into the song. You'll get that feeling once you hear it. I swear.

I thought twice of doing this review because it might sound biased because right now
'Everytime you lie' is at the top of my Playlist and is currently set to Repeat on my Music Player.

Over all?

This Song is great! An excellent addition to Here we go Again.

My Score?

Counter-Productive.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 08:37:00 +0000

I thought this week is really going to work out for me.
But there came 'Ondoy'. Now I'm stuck home for a week atmost.
There are no operating Fastfoods, Malls, or ANYTHING at all.
Marikina City has provided a week-long vacation to rehabilitate homes
and relax. But I think to ease the stress the typhoon had brought us,
It's going to take longer than a week.

I just finished watching episodes 1-4 of Glee. I say it's incredibly good.
The acting, music, and plot. But episode 2 was my favorite, haha.

By the way, Anyone who wants to help the victims of Ondoy:

Long Exposure.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 08:50:00 +0000

Last night, I was playing with my Camera Features and I got this Amazing Photo.

Well, It's not THAT amazing, but It's an Art for me.

I researched about this kind of photo and It's something called: "long exposure"

By lengthening the time of the eye click, more light is absorbed into the lens.

but by doing so, blurring and or sharpening is blatantly increased.

Since I just discovered this stuff, I might as well try it out on our next Photo-walk.

You should too!

When Ondoy flooded our little town.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 06:57:00 +0000

Disasteriffic!!

The flood was 12 meters tall and no, I am not exaggerating.

We currently reside at Marikina-Rizal Area and it was

the most affected area in Metro Manila.

Now, the flood's gone,

The trauma's still there.

We don't even know where to start rehabilitation.

There were even dead fishes at our street after our street dried up.

I liked the rain, But I never said I liked the disaster it brings.

Luzon's weekend is going to be Indoors.

geoffkun@ymail.com (Geoffkun) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 03:40:00 +0000

With the coming of Tropical Storm 'Ondoy',

PAG-ASA recently updated the Filipinos that the storm will last until tomorrow morning.

I am particularly happy about this fact because I was supposed to attend the MARIPRISA opening

this morning at MARIST school as a requirement for our CAT classes.

Aww, Thanks to the storm, I didn't force myself to wake up in the morning!.

Thank you 'Ondoy'!
