Hi! Hello! Kamusta? Ça va?

How are you all?

It has been forever since my last blog post and its been a whirlwind of everything for me these last couple of years and I remember back then when blogging is only limited to writing articles and review, but today you can see someone blogging everywhere.

Taking a short video, taking a photo, playing games, anything you can ever think of maybe someone out there is already blogging about it.

So why did I come back? Why does someone like me who is unknown to the blogger world with zero followers would like to come back? Well, I would say that I feel like writing again after all these years fortunately I still have this platform where I can always comeback. I know having a great content is hard to have these days when everybody is talking about something and taking in the critics as well can be hard but I think nothing can beat a simple article of what's going on in your mind and taking notice and appreciating everything around you.

I know its been super crazy these past few months but we have to keep ourselves healthy and strong. Move and keep going as long as you're practicing precaution to protect yourself from the virus roaming around.

This is the picture of my dog being disappointed with her haircut! 🐶 Stay safe everyone, see you on the next article!

Don't Let Them Define You

2015-02-18T11:30:00.002-08:00

Do you know what is saddest thing that could happen to you right now? Being compared to someone else negatively. For example: “You’re like the younger version of Hitler” I know I gave a bad example but it could really hurt someone. And it could affect her for the rest of her life. A simple joke or comment may turn someone else’s world upside down. What I am trying to say is comparing someone to something or someone else is a big no-no especially if you knew it could hurt him or her.

Comparing one person to the other for me means that you are defining someone’s personality. And you should not do that because we have to admit that we do not know everyone else even if you spent your whole life with them. Spending your whole life with someone else does not mean you already know him or her. No one knows anybody. Getting to know someone does not stop, it is a continuous process that is why we have a phrase “You continuously amaze me”.

I wrote about this topic today because I got compared to someone else today. And it got me really bad that I started to cry and then send messages to my friends and finally writing this article down. I really do hate being compared to someone especially if the one who compares me to another does not even know me very well. I believed that we are all unique in all aspects whether it is about our looks, personality, the way we sleep, the way we eat a banana, the way we sang Katy Perry’s firework. We are all different. That’s why I got really hurt when this thing happened to me today. I know I might have said some few words. But I don’t think that I deserve to be compared so poorly to another.

After drying my tears, I said to myself “They are just another hurdles in your life, don’t let them stop you.” After all you alone know yourself more than anyone else. Don’t let them define you.

Happy Blogging!!

Destiny

2014-12-17T12:20:00.001-08:00

The scene "I'm your density, I mean my destiny" said by George McFly while holding his steno notebook kneeling in front of Lorraine Baines (mother of Marty Mcfly) is made famous in the movie Back to the Future trilogy. I don't always get this phrase every time I watch the said movie, I don't know if this is just the creativity or romance of George showing off or does it mean something else. I know that most of you would say, just search the google. But to tell you honestly, I don't really want to know the truth behind this phrase. Because as you can see, as long as you don't know the whole truth behind something or someone, it keeps you interested or it keeps your mind running to know what it really means or who he/she really is. Do you think that once you knew the answer or once you've solved the mystery behind something or someone else you'd still be interested? I don't think so, unless off course you are obsessive HAHA!

Destiny as what my professor said or as what I had understand it is something that you wouldn't expect in a million years or in a million ways but destiny has always been undefined for me

because after one question is answered there goes another different and deep question. As what my readers don’t know is I am studying again for my 2nd degree or I really don't know what to call it HA! And there is always this time when I ask myself "Are you really sure of what you are doing? You do realize that you have your own voice right?" And then I'll answer myself that maybe this is really my destiny whether I understand it or not. Is it really my destiny? How do I know that I have reached what is destined for me? How do I know when to stop? These silly questions tend to block the minds of most of us. But then I realize don’t mind destiny at all. Besides, you are the one making your own destiny, every decision leads to another different destiny, every experience creates another destiny for yourself. Every word you said and every smile you make leads to another destiny. That’s why don’t believe it when someone tells you “If it’s meant to be, it will be” because you are the one creating a path for yourself and no one else. Destiny will still exist if you go on your daily routine without asking yourself why I am doing this. Destiny will still exist in the dictionary even if as what I have said it is undefined. Destiny will still exist as long as there is someone out there who bases his/her decisions on destiny and you don’t.

I think the bottom line to this is “Destiny is what you make of it. Your destiny is you alone and nothing else” George McFly is destined to kneel in front of Lorraine Baines because he decided or his heart decided that he is in love with Lorraine Baines.

This is my first blog post after a year I guess HA! Thank you to this person who told me that I can be a book writer, you are my inspiration for this first blog article of mine. Let us keep inspiring one another.

Be your own destiny!

Happy Blogging!

Cheers!

Give it up for Brian Tyler!!!

2013-05-03T21:32:00.000-07:00

Lately my attention is focused on soundtracks of the films / TV shows that I have watched, and games that I have played cause' the music itself makes the film/game a lot more exciting and entertaining. Can you just imagine life without any music at all?

Tomb Raider: A Survivor is Born

2013-05-01T21:49:00.000-07:00

I don't want to gloat about it but few days ago, I kicked the ass of the Sun God Himiko and Father Mathias in the game Tomb Raider 2013. While playing the game I should say its cool, some of its stages took me hours to get through, well I'm not that of a gamer, gamer if you know what I mean. And lastly the game is good enough to prevent me from doing other things or should I say the game is a bit of addicting?!?!

Overall I could rate this game 8/10, the graphics is good, the game play is also good although there are some glitches which is tolerable. And finally who couldn't agree with me that Lara Croft is hot? She is voiced and performed by Camilla Luddington who is now appearing in U.S vampire show True blood, and Grey's Anatomy

Let me give you some useful information about Tomb Raider.

From the name of the game itself you could tell that Tomb Raider is an action-adventure video game and it is published by Square Enix (also the publisher of Final Fantasy Series). The gameplay elements focus more on survival, because in the game you could hunt down animals, collect plants etc. and there are set of survival skills for you to complete through out the game. The game is set on Yamatai ( Yamatai-koku is the Sino-Japanese name of an ancient country in Japan during the late Yayoi period ) wherein Lara must save her friends and escape, (well isn't that too obvious?!?!) I have to admit that I feel sorry for some characters that die in the game cause' for me no one has to die, but then again its a game and anything can happen.

Tomb Raider is also the first game in the series to have a multiplayer and it is also the first game to be published by Square Enix.

Tomb Raider has different stages that puts together action-adventure, exploration and survival mechanics. The game is presented in third-person perspective ( I think its to show how hot Lara is??). Along with the main story, players will have the chance to do multiple side quest like finding artifacts, maps, diaries etc., explore the island, revisit places, and search for challenge tombs.

And that's it guys, to wrap it up here is the trailer of Tomb Raider 2013

Happy Playing!

Cheers!

Happy Labor Day!

2013-05-01T01:18:00.000-07:00

This morning I thought to myself "should I say Happy Labor day? is it appropriate to include happy in labor day?" then I asked my brother about it, then he said " There's nothing to celebrate about labor day" then I said " Why? it's your day after all." Then I remembered that my brother doesn't have any holidays well except for Christmas and New Years. But still my brother should be happy about labor day right? cause' the whole world is rejoicing the effort and the perseverance of each and every worker. Well enough for the pessimism of my brother. Let's just talk about the Labor day.

As what I have said, Labor day is to celebrate the achievements of workers. May 1 is a national holiday in more than 80 countries (according to Wikipedia). The whole world is celebrating for your hard work, can't you feel any fulfillment/satisfaction? Well if I have a job, a real job, I would treat this event as important as Christmas because I think each of the hard workers out there deserves to be known and to be appreciated even for a day. Right?

The funny thing about this blog of mine today is that while I was researching for some useful information about the Labor day, I came across to this movie entitled Labor Day (that was too obvious?!?) staring Kate Winslet etc. I honestly don't know the movie, not even familiar with it, so for those of you who is curious about the movie should watch it and hey tell me all about it (*smiley)

Back to Labor day.

To give you a little bit of history about Labor day, Let me first ask you who celebrated the first labor day in United States?

Labor unions themselves. Labor union is an organization of workers who gathered together to achieve common goals such as achieving higher pay, increasing the number of employees an employer hires and lastly, for a better working condition.

When and where did they start celebrating Labor day as a national holiday?

They started celebrating Labor day as a national holiday since 1894. The first Labor day parade occurred on September 5, 1882 in New York City.

Who came up with this wonderful idea of Labor day?

Most historians credit Peter McGuire, a general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor. McGuire's idea was to give a day for workers to show their morale or team spirit. while other historians credit Matthew Maguire.

With this basic information about Labor Day, I hoped that you have learned something from me today.

Happy Labor Day!

Cheers!

LONG LOST BLOGPOST: Give and you shall receive...

2013-04-30T04:59:00.002-07:00

"February isn't so complicated boys, give and you shall receive.."

Adriana Lima said on her commercial at Teleflora ...

I can say that this advertisement is effective because when my brother watched this commercial through youtube off course, he was like "oh yeah!"...

2 days before valentines day... It's awful but I don't have date except my father and my brother which is sweet but you have to admit, it's different when you're with someone other than your family during valentine's day, well what can I say, it's been always like this since my birth.

-------------------------------

This is my long lost blogpost, I think I didn't have time to finish it because of my house chores at the time, sadly, I really can't remember. Don't you just love reading some scraps from a person's mind, scraps just like this article. I mean out of nowhere you'll find this article about adriana lima and valentine's day...Come on, ordinary people talks about current issues or events, maybe I'm not normal at all but I don't mind, cause knowing/ reading (in this case) what other people had said before is wonderful (for me) cause' it's not everyday that this kind of info will be on your way. And we have to admit that we cannot be here today without our yesterdays, right?

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Blogging :)

BTW you really have to watch the ad of Adriana Lima with Teleflora, she is sooo gorgeous!

Lastly. Did I make any sense at all?

Don't Jump to Conclusions

2012-11-07T06:01:00.000-08:00

Its been like a year since my last post, I am very sorry for that.

my reason for the "No blogpost for a year" is well I've been busy with my studies, and for some reason words seemed to have left my mind...

But for today fortunately, I think everything is coming back to me.

Going back to my blog for today, We'll going to explore the idiom "Don't Jump to Conclusions", I have heard this idiom before while we're watching the Test your Brain on National Geographic, and ever since then this certain idiom didn't left my mind.

And today when I got home from school, I have mentioned this idiom to one of my friends because of some things we've been talking about this past few weeks. Well the only word that I can say about this idiom is "helpful" Because it taught me not to make any conclusion based on what I know, see, or hear, because sometimes the things that we know is only a part of completely another whole thing.

According to http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com, Jumping to conclusion is to judge or decide something without having all the facts. Now we know why we should not jump to any conclusions because we don't know the whole thing.

Let me give you a certain simple scenario where you can apply this idiom "Don't Jump to Conclusions"

Let's just say I have this classmate, and for the whole semester the only 3 words that I have heard from him is yes/no/maybe. And because of this, I have concluded that he is a freak, forever alone type of person. And then one day I saw this classmate of mine eating in a restaurant with his friends, and from afar I could see that he is laughing, and happily chatting with his friends, and now I wonder what the hell happened right? because base on what I know, he is not that sociable/approachable type of guy and yet he has friends. Real friends.

And because of what I saw on the restaurant, I told myself on how foolish am I to name him as a freak or forever alone guy.

Well base on my example, because I quickly jumped to conclusion that he is freak/forever alone guy, I missed the maybe wonderful chance of being a friend with this classmate of mine. The only thing that I like to point out in this example and for this whole blog of mine for today is that when you jump to a conclusion, it is certain that regret will follow because you draw a conclusion based on what you only know without actually trying to get/know the whole thing. Because even though you know something about a person/thing it is also certain that there is much more to know and yet to be discovered about that person/thing. Which only means that we don't know everything.

And I do hoped that I made my point clearly in this blog of mine for today.

Lesson learned guys.. Don't Jump to Conclusions

Happy Blogging :)

2012-04-21T06:53:00.000-07:00

It is a working progress I should say, just like any other things, we encounter difficulties or challenges.

I should say some of the great things in life doesn't come that easily.

It is called prolific products because the following products that you will see on my blog this next few days will be out of the pure imagination of me off course, well I should say it has been my long dream to do something that I always cared about. Art.

Let me tell you a short story. Today, Jinky and I went to Divisoria (a lovely place) to buy some of the raw materials needed for the prolific products. And honestly it is not that easy, especially when we don't know every street or corner of that place. We are newbies.

Since this is only a short story, at the end of day, we have everything that we needed, and I thank God for that. Even if we could feel the heat that morning and all through out the day, we did not stop looking for the appropriate materials. I admit, Jinky is the best when it comes to planning things, and I also raise my hands up and say sharing ideas with someone is the best learning experience ever. It is amazing to think of what the other person has on her mind.

Again thank you so much Jinky for making me experience all of this things.

I will be positive about all this things I had today, because it is not everyday that you got a chance to face all of this trials and opportunities.

So for my friends, and wonderful readers out there. Watch out for the Prolific Products that will be featured on this blog soon!...

I am excited for this.

Happy Day! :)

Vegetarians ---- hell yeah!

2012-04-19T02:14:00.000-07:00

I know its summer and this topic is kinda inappropriate for this time of the year. But what can I say everyone can be a vegetarian whenever and wherever they want.

So why am Iwriting about vegetarians? Am I considering the urge to be a vegetarian? Is my boyfriend/friend a vegetarian? It is silly but nope.... it's just that today I saw this brochure about vegetarians on my study table. It is kinda unusual to see this sort of brochure on my table but if it wasn't there, then obviously we'll be talking about something else HAHA

Ok let's get down to business

First of all what is this vegetarianism??

According to wickipedia.org, it is the practice of subsisting on a diet composed primarily of wholly of vegetables, grains, fruits, nuts, and seeds, with or without eggs and dairy products.

There is also different variety of vegetarianism

Ovo vegetarianism includes eggs but not dairy products.
Lacto vegetarianism includes dairy products but not eggs.
Ovo-lacto vegetarianism (or lacto-ovo vegetarianism) includes animal/dairy products such as eggs, milk, and honey.
Veganism excludes all animal flesh and animal products, including milk, honey, and eggs, and may also exclude any products tested on animals, or any clothing from animals.
Raw veganism includes only fresh and uncooked fruit, nuts, seeds, and vegetables. Vegetables can only be cooked up to a certain temperature.
Fruitarianism permits only fruit, nuts, seeds, and other plant matter that can be gathered without harming the plant.
Buddhist vegetarianism (also known as su vegetarianism) excludes all animal products as well as vegetables in the allium family (which have the characteristic aroma of onion and garlic): onion, garlic, scallions, leeks, or shallots.
Jain vegetarianism includes dairy but excludes eggs and honey, as well as root vegetables.
Macrobiotic diets consist mostly of whole grains and beans.

And what benefits can you get when you are a vegetarian

lower body mass index
lower levels of cholestero
lower blood pressure
less incidence of heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, renal disease, metabolic syndrome, dementias such as Alzheimer’s disease and other disorders

However, vegetarians are more likely to be deficient in vitamin B12, leading to increased incidence of osteoporosis and depression.

This is my favorite part I should say; here is the list of vegetarian and vegan elite in America

Linus Pauling

Michael Jackson

Linus Pauling, he is an American Quantum Chemist and Biochemist; 1954 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry and 1962 Noble Laureate in Peace for his campaign against above-ground nuclear testing.
Benjamin Franklin, he is an American author, journalist, scientist, inventor and statesman.
Thomas Edison, an American inventor, and businessman.
Steve Jobs, the founder and CEO of Apple Computer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, he is an American author, poet and philosopher.
Mark Twain, an American writer.
Henry Ford, he is the founder of ford motors.
Michael Jackson, an American pop singer and songwriter, has won more music awards than any other artists.
Prince, American pop singer and songwriter.
Justin Timberlake, American pop singer.
Leonard Nimoy, American actor, director and producer.
Dustin Hoffman, American actor two-time Oscar winner; Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner.

Tobey Maguire, American actor, starred in many movies including “Spider-Man”

Honestly, I did not expect see some of the names on the list, but hey everyone can be a vegetarian.

There you have it, we can all go green this sizzling summer.

If you have any comments or suggestions feel free to post something.

Happy Blogging :)

Refreshments is all we need

2012-04-16T01:53:00.000-07:00

Since its summer here in the Philippines, everybody is finding the suitable beach or resort to cool off the summer heat, while others are looking for the best refreshments that could quenched their thirst, because I have to admit it is really hot in here when the summer time kicks in.

As a student, summer is what we need to catch up with friends, feel the quiet morning without your mom shouting that you are already late for school (ok this is a joke, I love you mammy :) ); yep summer is the best time for us students. On the contrary, summer is also difficult for us students because before we can go out and have fun with our friends, we need some little money, and that's what is missing when summer vacation is in. No allowance, nuff said, but unless off course you can just simply asked for it. But it's not that easy for most of us including me.

Because we should save most of our allowances for the summer vacation, all of us need an alternative so we could still enjoy the things we want to do without hurting our budget.

I think almost a month ago, my friends and I came across to this little milk tea stall. Off course we all know that milk tea is sooo in today. And then I told myself it wouldn't hurt if I try this one, right?

The little milk tea stall is called Tea Concoction and you can find it on the lower ground of the Victory Mall, you can easily see it because it is near the exit of the mall.

What is concoction anyway? According to an online dictionary it simply means a mixture, so for all of us to understand; the milk tea stall that we have found that day sells different mixtures of tea, which sounds delicious and interesting right?

Tea Concoction also sells the legendary Wintermelon milk tea that you can also find on Gong Cha (another milk tea store). You can say that the Tea Concoction is a copy cat, but since we are talking about how to manage our allowance, Tea Concoction is just simply making milk tea available for everybody.

The milk tea of Tea Concoctions has the price range of 60 to 80 pesos, not bad at all if you are quenching for a milk tea right? Although they only have one size of serving unlike the other milk tea stores that we see on malls.

How about the quality of the product itself? Well for an affordable milk tea, it tastes good, although I haven’t tried all of their products, but the only thing I could say is that you won’t be wasting your money on this one I promise you.

There you have it guys, a single tip that could make your summer vacation a little bit colorful and cool all at the same time.

Happy summer J

Philippine National Artist -- Salute!!

2012-02-25T03:31:00.000-08:00

Last wednesday I think, it was raining, pouring actually. My friends and I decided to go to our school library, and then we saw this exhibit I think?? anyway, I saw this huge and heavy book, it's not that thick but it is heavy because it's hardbound. Then off course curiosity kicks in then I start flipping through it's pages, I forgot the title of the book which is silly but the book talks about the Philippine National Artist named Napoleon Abueva.

I start searching through the internet again offcourse, because I have never heard his name before. I have found this information about him:

According to wickipedia.com Napoleon Isabelo Veloso-Abueva born on January 16, 1930 is popularly known as Napoleon Abuevo, he is a sculptor and he is entitled as "Father of Modern Philippine Sculpture". He is also the only boholano given the distinction as National Artist of the Philippines in the field of visual arts.

His nickame is billy (which is cute for some reason) and he has six other brothers and sisters. As a young boy he studied at Tagbilaran Elementary School, and later at University of Southern Philippines, Holy Name College, Rafael Palma College before making it as a sculptor.

in 1796 he was proclaimed as National Artist of the Philippines by President Ferdinand Marcos, he was the youngest recipient of the title at the age of 46

Kiss of Judas

Some of his major works include Kaganapan (1953), Kiss of Judas (1955), Thirty Pieces of Silver, The Transfiguration, Eternal Gardens Memorial Park (1979), UP Gateway (1967), Nine Muses (1994), UP Faculty Center, Sunburst (1994)-Peninsula Manila Hotel, the bronze figure of Teodoro M. Kalaw in front of National Library, and murals in marble at the National Heroes Shrine, Mt. Samat, Bataan. One masterpiece he dedicates to the Boholanos is the Sandugo or Blood Compact shrine in Bohol, Tagbilaran City, a landmark at the site of the first international treaty of friendship between Spaniardsand Filipinos. This is now a tourist attraction in Bohol province. This shrine is an expression of Abueva's awareness of his roots, and a manifestation of his artistic talents.

He is married to Cherry Abueva, a psychiatrist, and has three children, Amihan,Mulawin, and Duero. Before his stroke, he used to teach at the Industrial Design department of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde School of Design and Arts

Back to my story, while I was flipping through the pages the book, off course it shows some of his work and some quotes about being an artist specifically a sculptor. I saw this photo that can be seen at University of the Philippines, actually those sculptures for me was a sign or indicator that you are at the UP campus already, I was a bit shocked honestly when those sculptures were made with the help of Abuevo and other sculptors, never expected that actually.

does this ring a bell?

I'm sharing this to you guys because I'm not really expecting to know this kind of random stuff just by visiting our school library. Which tells us to visit the library more frequently and read books as well because you don't know what knowledge lies within its pages.

there you have it guys.

Happy reading! :)

Cath Kidston - C for Chic

2012-02-21T08:37:00.000-08:00

Here it is guys...

Last December, I went out with my friends, you know did some catch up with each other, off course I'm a bit amused with the things that I have discovered, and my friends were terrified as well with what happened to our lives this past few years.

Since it was December then, expect that people has a money to spend in buying foods for noche buena, gifts for their friends, co-workers, etc., or maybe to buy something just for themselves. Which means my friends and I also has a money. So when the day was about to end, my friend asked me if we can go to Greenhills because she wants to buy a new shoes, since I have no other things to do and it was too early for me to go home, I said yes.

Greenhills is a popular shopping mall here in the Philippines, it's the place where you can buy things with cheap amount, it's also known as place where you can buy class A (almost original) - known brands like long champ, Tory Burch, Cath Kidston, Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, etc. ---- everything was there I think, but the only bag that captured my attention was the Cath Kidston, I have never heard of it before nor seen one before, so it's my first time to know that such bag existed.

I know it's a bit odd to know this product through a counterfeit of it, but at least Cath Kidston bags are now added to my wishlist, although I know was a just a dream to actually buy one. Back to my story,

It captured my attention because of it's unusual style, which I prefer by the way, and the color for each style of bag perfectly suites it. Off course I did my research, and according to the ever reliable wikipedia.com, Catherine Isabel Kidston A.K.A Cath Kidston is a british fashion designer, business woman, and author whose company Cath Kidston Limited sells home furnishings through shops, online and by mail order, and she is known for her nostalgic floral patterns.

You can visit their online store at http://www.cathkidston.co.uk/

The site contains their large collection of bags, accessories, fashion, home, fabric and wallpaper, and for kids. The prices of their item ranges to 8 euros -100 euros, price depends on the which item you are buying off course. I know it's a bit pricey for us, but having one would definitely make you look 100x alluring, attractive, charismatic, elegant, enchanting, name it.

Cath Kidston stores can be found in the following countries: United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan, South korea, Taiwan and Thailand. -- which makes it more easier for us to reach them and finally buy yourself a Cath Kidston stuffs. XD

There you have it.

Happy Shopping :)

Busy Day O.O

2012-02-20T07:59:00.000-08:00

Well I've been busy for today... and might as well be busy for the whole week, our school is celebrating it's foundation week, I know we'll have some irregular schedule, I hate to say it and even think about it but I'll still be busy this week, as much as I want to blog something for today, I guess the time doesn't work with me plus my tweets are kinda' delayed so I'm kinda irritated about it right now.

So much for reasons...Please bear with me guys... I promise I'll try my very best to post something tomorrow --- Honestly I'm already thinking about a suitable topic... O.-

Anyways... I guess I need to work on my time management...

Happy Blogging guys :)

Looking for some New Sounds

2012-02-19T05:36:00.000-08:00

Have you ever heard of the game The Run: Need for Speed?? -- well shame on you if you don't because if you're tired of the old Need for Speed game play, this game would definitely suit you.

According to Wickipedia.com, Need for Speed: The Run is a racing video game, the 18th title in the long-running Need for Speed franchise, and developed by EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts. The Wii and 3DS versions were developed by Firebrand Games, the team behind Undercover and Nitro (both DS versions). It was released in North America on November 15, 2011 and November 18, 2011 in Europe.The game is described as an "illicit, high-stakes race across the country. The only way to get your life back is to be the first from San Francisco to New York. No speed limits. No rules. No allies. All you have are your driving skills and sheer determination".

While my brother was playing it one time, and off course I was just seating beside him, you could also capture that adrenaline thingy if that's what you prefer to call it. And now I wonder what would happen if I was the one who is playing that wonderful game God knows where it came from. Besides from the new game play and awesome awesome graphics, this game also has a wonderful soundtrack which we will talk about for today.

Now if you ask me, what is a soundtrack? According to merriam-webster.com it is a track (as on a motion-picture film or television videotape) that carries the sound record, nuff said right?

The listed songs below can be heard all throughout the game:

BRMC - Beat the Devil’s Tattoo

Canned Heat - On the Road Again
Dan Auerbach - Heartbroken, In Disrepair
Rival Sons - Save Me
The Black Angels – Better off Alone
Unkle Feat. Nick Cave - Take the Money and Run
Ritmo Machine – La Calle
MonstrO - Solar
Donovan- Riki Tiki Tavi
Endless Boogie - Empty Eye
Gary Clark Jr. – Don’t Owe You A Thang
Girls Against Boys – Bulletproof Cupid
Black Keys - Lonely Boy
Black Pistol Fire – Trigger On My Fire
Brian Jonestown Massacre - The Way it Was
Handsome Furs - Damage
London Souls – the Sound
Lykke Li - Get Some
Mastodon - Curl Of The Burl
Middle Class Rut - Alive or Dead
Ministry - NWO
Red Fang – Prehistoric Dog
Reverend horton Heat – Big Red Rocket of Love
Black Lips - The Lie
Dead Weather - Treat me Like Your Mother

Now why did I say that this songs are different from all the other songs I have heard before, well the only simple reason I can say is that this 25 songs contains some country like feeling but at the same time you can also hear some modern mix in it.

I know we have different interpretation or tastes when it comes to music, I know that some of you guys doesn't like this type of music genre, but the only thing I can say is that this songs are worth listening to. Especially when you don't know what kind of mood you have like me.

I adore the song Lonely Boy by Black keys which can also be found on the soundtrack of The Run: Need for Speed.

Happy Listening guys! :)

Cheers!

Sorry for the absence guys... I know no words can describe why is it that I have no recent post on my blog.

So, to start the year right, I know I'm almost 2 months late to say this... but at last I'm back to blogging again...I have to admit that there are times when I miss researching for some good stuffs that I'm blogging, and if you may ask, what brings me to blog again? well the simple answer I can come up with is because I have an inspiration.

The game is soo on.

Sudden Realization

2011-10-31T08:49:00.000-07:00

Ok so here it goes, gonna brag first about the things I've been through yesterday. I've been sleeping and eating like a pig, and we've been to Eternal Gardens to off course visit my Mama and Nanay and Kuya Vincent. I've seen alot of people building tent house or whatsoever, some of them are eating, texting, even flirting, and chatting with their family cause' some of them consider all soul's day as a family reunion, kinda weird but I don't know, kinda hard to tell, and some of them even took a picture of them, and for my brother that was kinda morbid but for me?? naah! hell with it HAHA --- and then I found myself laughing loud enough to notice myself that there's a family mourning? cause' they're in the crematorium. And me? oh dear me! laughing like a devil cause' my daddy is hilarious. Then when we were planning to eat something for you know while me, my brother and my daddy talk with each other, we kinda took a step backwards because the price of the food that is actually sold inside the cemetery are really expensive 100% mark-up price and I thought to myself maybe the rent for their space is actually expensive so... hell with that again, we're hungry so can you blame us for saying some couple of nasty stuffs??.

Maybe you're currently asking what does with the sudden realization have to do with my blog for today? Well, I would like to tell you something while I was you know defecating -- I know it was something nasty again and unnecessary to tell you guys what I was doing during my realization, but you know what, maybe the greatest idea comes from very unexpected time, and I think there was no such thing as wrong timing when it comes to realization like this, or maybe defecating requires a lot of focus that's why here we go I got some worthwhile realization. I know it was a bit stupid and non-sense to you guys but here me out here puhlease! HAHA (this was my second haha on my blog by the way, and I'm counting it)

Here we go, my sudden realization was off course about my life, and honestly I feel like God was with me all the way because of some twists and turns in my life that I actually don't know why I got in those kind of situation. But anyways, this was because, to come to think of it that I'm still on the BSA program was beyond my expectation, and I'm thankful for that, this is a realization because if me and Jinky haven't some kind of friendship before, then maybe I will not be in 2c and my path would be on some I don't know (can't even explain it) and probably I'll have to prepare my shifting form again. Things really do come from unexpected ways, I mean after all accounting is hard for me, so being in the program still is a really really big blessing for me.

And here comes my second realization -- I know what you all probably think, it about my love life. So here is the thing, I'm member of CCP (christian community program) and I had found myself praying about my boyfriend, because I would not call it foolish or something, but I'm praying that please let him be the one. I'm praying for it because I can feel it you see, but weeks after that, me and my boyfriend were done, so EX would be a lot more appropriate term for that. Where is the realization in this one? Well I think, God said no to my prayers, maybe because I wasn't good enough for me, or he wasn't good enough for me, or maybe I was too good for him, I don't know actually but one thing for me is sure, we're not meant for each other. Well others might call this a bitter shi@#$ or something but for me, it was not at all, hell no. HAHA (third haha for my blog). This was just about my realization while I was defecating.

Well that was it. That was my sudden realization, and I know this is too much focus for a defecating girl. But hell with it HAHA (fourth one!). All I can tell to you guys right now is "Every freaking thing happens for a reason".

This is a long one ---

Happy Blogging :) and Happy Halloween! ^__^

Running in Heels

2011-10-24T11:08:00.000-07:00

Running in heels because when we were on our way to Farah's 18th birthday yesterday, I almost forgot my gift for her which was a shame if ever I did forgot all about it..

But anyway I did have fun, met some new friends, saw some of my ates' and kuyas' dance their way through the night -- what makes it even more fulfilling was that I feel like I was their photographer because they had use my camera phone to capture every smiling face they have. Although the party got some hired official photographer, but off course its a lot more different when you can pose freely in front of the camera right??

So what more can I say that night? besides that I feel like a girl yesterday because I'm wearing a skirt and a heels? Oh yes, the food was great too, chinese cuisine is really tasty, that makes you wanna go for more --- Farah's 18th birthday was at Shangri-La Finest Chinese Cuisine, beside the Kowloon to be more specific. I've been there before as far as I could remember, the place was still the same after all.

Honestly, I did have a long day yesterday, I was like can't take it anymore, I was about to give up with no valid reason at all just pure tiredness. I saw Ocha too, she was a good friend of mine,.. and she was like, what are you doing in here? and off course I said, I was just buying some stuff..

To wrap it all up, I would just like to say that I really really did had a good time yesterday,.. every worrying about farah's birthday was worth it ---

Happy Blogging,.. :)

Chocolate on your forehead

2011-10-22T01:47:00.000-07:00

What's with the title?? well last night was the night that I wasn't expecting at all. Far from my expectations actually. well its' done, all I can do right now was to laugh about it.

Although I really can't remember all of the things that happened last night. All I can say is that I did have fun. Thanks to my girliefriends that had put something on my forehead that I wasn't aware of until today. HAHA

So for today I have to do something again --- its about the business proposal #again. Actually I'm done with the first one, but I'm currently working on my second one, so again wish me luck.

And probably my mother was reading my blog. So I'll never waste this opportunity to say Hi to my loving mother, how are you?? I'm posting something to your wall, I guess you never knew that, anyway I love you mammy, take good care of yourself. and PS my grades are already in my student portal, so check it out.. HAHA

I think that's all I can say in my blog for today,..

Happy Blogging. :)

what a failure!

2011-10-20T03:05:00.000-07:00

I know what I had said the other day to you guys... and shame on me, I'm not yet done with our business proposition. I will work on that today! I swear, all over her dead body. I'm already done summarizing some information so I'm good to go.

Since its' our semester break already, I'll be spending most of my time in front of the computer again, as what I had done last summer..

And because of that, I will also spend most of my time looking at our student portal to see my grades and I'm nervous honestly speaking, don't know what will happen to me.

I wasn't able to blog about anything yesterday cause' I had a bad cold that I'm already sneezing blood, and I'm serious with the blood thingy, so when I lay on the sofa last night, I fell asleep.. and I'm pretty tired too, because for 6 hours we've been waiting for our thesis, cause' it needs to be book bind. The bookbinding guys are having problems when it comes to time management that's why my blockmates and I have to endure their foolishness. and by the way waiting for 6 hours made me play some pranks on my blockmates, so at the end of the day I had found myself to be physically abused, honestly.

And after waiting for 6 hours at last the bookbinding guys are done with our thesis. I was like hey bookbinding guys can we take a picture of you.

So much for the school stuff. let's move on to what I will do for today,...

1.) work on our business proposition.

2.) watch season 5 episode 2 of gossip girl -- already done with this.

3.) prepare myself for our grades -- too nervous for this.

4.) text some friends for tonight --- this is already given and I'm enjoying it HAHA

That's it, and I think my friends and I will have a closing party tomorrow specifically swimming, daddy doesn't know anything about this yet, but he will tonight so good luck to me on that.

Happy Blogging :)

Gonna work on something big ---

2011-10-16T22:31:00.000-07:00

Missing for almost 5 months, here I am blogging again to tell you guys that my brother's girlfriend has a business proposition for me, I just don't know if I should share it with you guys, anyway this business requires a lot of words, thinking, time and research --- well I can handle all of it, its just that this thing came up with my school just a few hours ago... Well we'll have another exam on my major subject, which is I thought was over just about yesterday...

This retake of examination requires my time (off course), knowledge on my subject (off course), and a bunch of worrying too --- I'll try to handle all of this things though.

After watching the social network on HBO last night, I though to myself, maybe I should start blogging again on almost about everything like in twitter, only I can share my thoughts for more than 140 characters. And this idea of mine could probably work cause' I think it could eased my worries, stress and every word associated with negativity. That's why for today, I'll start my first blog entry about what will happen to me for today..

Wish me luck though, I had this 6 tasks to finish for today,..

1.) review for my business calculus final examination, its' about derivatives I think (HAHA)

2.) work on our feasibility study acknowledgement

3.) type our take home quiz in computer, its' about HTML by the way

4.) compose a happy birthday message for our dearest par Graziel A.K.A cheche -- the message must be long though "that's an order" directly from her..

5.) fix our the recently washed clothes --- that's tough and lastly,

6.) the proposed business --- the details doesn't matter though

That's it, its' gonna be long a day for me.. Wish me luck guys.

Happy Blogging :)

Nuffnang and Hapee Special Screening

2011-05-31T01:32:00.000-07:00

Before the professors, challenges, struggles or whatever... brings us to the next chapters of our life. Nuffnang and Hapee will make us experience a life in a first class.

And on June 3, 7:30 pm, at Greenbelt 3 Cinema 2, Nuffnang and Hapee will have a surprise movie screening for the first 100 participants ( Oh, I do hoped my entry will be valid).

According to the mechanics of the contest, all we have to do is to write a blog entry about what makes both Nuffnang and Hapee first class.

And so, here is my entry.

Why looked at the different direction when Nuffnang and Hapee could always give us extraordinary services. Well what I mean about this is that, talking about blog advertising. Nuffnang never failed to promote our local and extremely wonderful products to consumers worldwide, because we all know that almost all of us uses internet nowadays so Nuffnang got this wonderful idea of promoting products through blogging, even by that idea, I can really call it a first class. And now talking about family friendly wonderful product. Hapee never failed to give its consumers a strong and whiter teeth for years and still counting, with its cheap price that definitely suites everyone's budget. Hapee is also recommended by the Philippine Dental Association, imagine that kind of benefits in the price of one, definitely a first class.

We can now say that combining this giants Nuffnang and Hapee is definitely a first class.
