Dota 2 Trailer is Out

2011-08-15T19:41:00.000-07:00

Valve asks in the debut trailer for its upcoming multiplayer online battle arena game. What makes a

hero? Is it about speed, strength or cunning?

I believe League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth will be no more because Dota 2 is coming to wipe them out. Check out the trailer below and see some real action.

So what will be your Hero?

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Review

2011-08-10T22:01:00.000-07:00

I really love this American sitcom that premiered on FX on August 4, 2005. It was a very entertaining watch and you won't find it boring. You'll laugh to death.

I going to introduce 'The Gang' group of self-centered friends who run Paddy's Irish Pub to you.

Main Characters:

Mac (Rob McElhenney) - The Karate Expert
Brags about his incredible hand-to-hand combat skills

Deandra "Sweet Dee" Reynolds, (Kaitlin Olson)
- Bird

Charlie (Charlie Day)
Borderline illiterate, an alcoholic,
suffers from deep psychological problems, and lives in squalor

Dennis Reynolds ((Glenn Howerton)
-Narcissistic, selfish, histrionic and vain.

Frank Reynolds (Danny DeVito)
-All i can say is: He's a caring father

The show was created and developed by Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day. What i can say about 'The Gang' is that they are vain, sometimes maniac, ignorant, dishonest, egotistical, lazy, manipulative, vengeful and super cool.

Other characters that i love too.

The Mcpoyle Brothers

Waitress
-She's HOT!

Cricket
-The Priest who became a 'just look at his face'

and a lot more! if you want to find out more.. you may wiki it.

I assure you that this sitcom is worth watching.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Review

2011-08-08T23:05:00.000-07:00

Introducing the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Review a 10-inch Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet with a keyboard dock that has its own battery.

I'm haven't decided if i'll buy this tablet-netbook yet, but i have read some reviews about it and this is what they say about it.

The Design:

Obviously, as you can see it has a brown metallic finish that's elegant yet simple. It's very comfortable to hold, light weight and both the lid and underside have a Qbert-like pattern that's very interesting to look at up close.

Well, What do you think? Should i buy this one?

Movie Review: The Way

2011-07-15T00:12:00.000-07:00

I just recently watched “The Way” starring Martin Sheen and his son Emilio Estevez. If you are a traveler looking for answers into your life, I recommend this movie. The movie was filmed entirely in Spain and France.

It all started when Thomas Avery (Martin Sheen) an Ophthalmologist from California was told that his only son Daniel Avery (Emilio Estevez) was accidentally killed while walking The Camino de Santiago (The Way of Saint James).

The 60+ year old man is very determined to go overseas and finish what his son started. Taking his son's cremated remains with him and spreading them along the historical trek - from the Pyrenees in southern France, to Santiago de Compostela in northwest of Spain.

‘The Way’ is a very inspiring and a little bit religious movie.

RIO Movie (de janeiro)

2011-06-19T04:23:00.001-07:00

google images

RIO is no Finding Nemo or Up, (but) nevertheless, it was still a good watch. A good animated movie must have at least 2 things, a good/magnificent soundtrack, with dancing and singing main characters, and a real heart pounding adventure.

The 2 movies i mentioned earlier was able to do without the singing and dancing characters, but still remained awesome. Same with Kung Ku Panda 1 and 2.

Anyway, credits should still be given to the production for making good choices for the voice overs.

Poverty Is A Good Thing.

2011-06-15T22:30:00.000-07:00

Why do i say that poverty is a good thing? Well because it really is...

google images

When you are poor, you get to appreciate the little things you have. I believe wealth is something relative. A rich man may have most of the expensive things in life but because of this abundancy, he doesn't value anything anymore, not even family and life. He may have cars, mansions, million or billion dollar bank accounts, but always, with certainty, he or she will want more. And yes, he can afford anything, but there are things in life that money can never buy.

And like in the old proverb/saying says:

You can buy a clock but not time.
You can buy medicene but not health.
You can buy a house but not Home.

Well, if you have violent reactions, feel free to comment.

Pick Pockets - Prayers or Curses?

2011-05-30T21:23:00.000-07:00

image from google : Sammy

Just last night as i walked out of the train on my way home, I checked out my bag to see my phone if i have some text messages, just to know that my good old friend Sammy is missing.

Yeah i know, who's Sammy anyway? Well, Sammy is my Samsung Galaxy Tab. Sammy is no where to be found inside my awkwardly slashed bag. It's so sad, that i lost a gift given to me by my husband for our anniversary.

Of course at first, i felt like growling like an angry lion. I released all curse to that unknown man who deliberately took my tab, but then again after a few minutes, perhaps trying to calm myself at the same time looking the situation in a better perspective.

I just thought that hopefully, whoever he is, may my Sammy become a good use for him at least to cloth his children or buy milk for his crying baby.

Bye Sammy, may you be another gift to someone... somehow..

Stranger Tides

2011-05-27T04:53:00.000-07:00

Watching a movie in a movie house alone is a bit creepy especially if it is a suspense thriller. But I prefer it, better than watching a romantic movie all by myself.

The title of the movie somehow fits me, because it feels like i'm on a strange tide that entire experience of being alone seated on the movie house. All those who are entering are either by peers or by groups.

Anyway, I tried on my situation not to bother me. The awkward period was when the movie was already on its climax, and there were certain scenes that are bit thrilling, and i cried out of suspense. I feel i wanted to hold on to someone but nobody was there for me. Silly, indeed it was on stranger tide.

Unknown 2011 Movie - Comment

2011-05-25T19:51:00.000-07:00

image from 'google images'

Just finished watching the movie UNKNOWN, starred by Liam Neeson of (Schindlers List, Star wars and Taken) and Diane Kruger of (Troy, National Treasure). It was a pretty awesome watch, first something expected from Liam's movies.

I have been waiting for a DVD copy of the film for several months already and finally i got it. (because I've miss it in the theaters)

The film has a very perplexing-to-the-mind twist. It has a great plot that further enhances the suspense through out the entire film, until every thing is revealed.

All is perfect, except the title, I was hoping it was able to get hold of the movie title "Identity" because it is more applicable. Anyway, John Cusack got it first, too bad.

Starbucks World's Best Coffee

2011-05-23T23:44:00.000-07:00

Another article from my wifey.

images from google

Starbucks coffee s one of the most overrated commodity in the world. The world greatest coffee as it is most often labeled and perhaps all those can be seen seated inside those cafes would agree to.

But then again, What does that cup of coffee has, that is so special and unique to be labeled as such, for it to cost much more than 2 comfy ride in a bus, more than 10 cups of Nescafe coffee or 2 order of KFC meal.

images from google

Anyway, just a point of inquiry. Is it really a taste of heaven in a cup?

Conspicuous Consumption

2011-05-23T23:36:00.000-07:00

An article from my wife:

I have heard once that a Louis Vuitton bag cost from half a million to more than 10 million. Pretty amusing how a piece of sown leather can cost much.

image from google

From one read in a magazine, it says that women should consider buying an LV bag as an investment. Not just a material investment, but something personal because owning an LV bag somehow gives them the confidence and fulfillment as a woman.

It's something odd for me (I don't know if it's just me) because constantly, ever since i have read that article, I'm wondering how come confidence and fulfillment can be attained simply by owning an LV bag.

Is it possible than buying an LV bag is much better than helping a fellowmen who is in need or perhaps earning a certificate or award for being the employee of the year or something?. Just an Inquiry anyway.

LOL better than DOTA

2011-05-22T23:20:00.000-07:00

I recently played League of Legends and i find it better, more fun, addictive than Defense of the Ancients. I have been playing DOTA for almost 4 years now and i think its becoming more and more boring. Anyway, My favorite champions are Katarina, Dr. Mundo and ofcourse LebLanc!.

Everyday is the Same

2011-05-19T08:58:00.000-07:00

I haven't done so much today..Everyday is the same. You'll get flashy morning, a hot noon and a boring night. But i guess sometimes you have to think ahead. You have to make a plan and get rid of those same old routines that you have. I wrote this based on my experience and what i feel. Eating doesn't make me happy. Playing games gives me stress, blogging makes me feel a little bit better. So, i guess blogging is the only solution to complete my day.

What else do you have in mind?

Stronghold a Classic Game

2011-05-17T00:01:00.000-07:00

I accidentally saw this game while browsing on my friend's blog. I thought about downloading it and installing it to my laptop.

I have read some reviews about this game and it has a good feedback. Tried to play it for a couple of hours and it just made me feel like i was part of the game. Unlike other strategy games out there this one is very good.

The image shows that i won against a computer. We fought for almost 2 hours i believe. Well, not bad for a beginner like me. Of course, I have won the Epic battle between me and a 'computer'. Archer's ready!

The Painting in my Room

2011-05-15T21:38:00.000-07:00

I just bought my new painting yesterday. And I must say it looks pretty awesome. I had a hard time trying to choose which painting would fit in my living room because there were so many beautiful paintings to choose from with a very cheap price.But this one caught my attention because of the color and creativity. I really like what the artist did with the painting, the paint brush that was used, the paint, concept, drama and etc. Hope you like it.

Punk Traitor Billionaire - My Comment

2011-05-11T00:28:00.000-07:00

Well, the movie was just sitting in my laptop for almost 4 months and I just watched it last night. I guess I feel a little bit jealous and insecure. Now I know why he was called a punk traitor billionaire. Anyway, do we have to be that geek to be a billionaire? That's what i saw in the movie. Don't know if its accurate.

I’m always thinking of a way on how to gain money online. I believe you have to create a unique, one of a kind site that haven't existed yet to achieve that goal. There are always a lot of things that comes into my mind. But, I lack resources (like: Money, People, Skills, Gadget more importantly Time). I do like the movie though. If I become a billionaire just like Mark Zuckerberg, don’t want to end up like that Napster guy who wasted all his life doing drugs.

How about you? Do you have some ideas that you think will defeat facebook? and for how long do you think this social networking will last?

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 - Tourney

2011-05-10T01:30:00.000-07:00

I have been thinking for a while. Why not have a mvc2 tourney here in my country. I know some of you out there knows how to play this game. Any Pro tips, suggestions? Rules? or Whatsoever.

Next week i'll be uploading some of my mvc2 videos on YouTube. to show you guys how good we are. You can make a comment if you like.

About Marvel vs. Capcom 3 - I don't really like it. Mvc2 is way much better than the new one.

At last! My first Post - My blog page introduction

2011-05-10T00:11:00.000-07:00

I created my own blog yesterday called “My Daily Activities”. Before, it was called “Stuffs4you”. Unfortunately, I’m having troubles in adding original content and I need to match the content’s topic into the blog title. I have decided to call this my daily activities because I think this is the easiest way to write original content.

This is my site's logo

I’m at work right now. I have been surfing the net all day, doing a little bit of oDesk work. So bored I just made my own logo using Photoshop. It ain’t that good you know… but hey! compare it to nothing.

Hope you'll like my page!

Take note: I'm not that good in English. Maybe you can make some comments and tell me how's my grammar. Cheers!
