Ads, Blogs, and Playstation Portable

All I want for Xmas is a PSP

Nowadays, web logs; commonly known as blogs are as rampant as mushrooms sprouting after a storm. Almost every person i know has a blog. even a 10-year old has a blog! But the most groundbreaking news I've ever encountered was using blogs to advertise. A couple of days ago I've read from a news network site that Sony Computer Entertainment America apparently used a PR blog to advertise their product,the Playstation Portable. What's amusing or rather shocking for some is that they used an imaginary hip-hop musician named "Charlie" to praise the said product. the blog aimed to help children coerce their moms to buy PSP's with the help of the said blog. Some people found it very offending using imaginary people to praise their product. The issue has been very widespread until recently Sony finally admitted that they really did that and editing "Charlie"'s blog saying that they have been "a little too clever". Well in my opinion it really is not an issue whether Sony used and imaginary boy to advertise, it's their job after all. It's like praising your Nintendo Wii for being very innovative and creative in their design when in fact the controller really sucked ass (who in the right mind would think of throwing their Wii controller at your TV?). What I'm trying to say is that even if Sony used blogs to praise their PSP it is still up to our parents if they will buy the product or not. In a 3rd world country like the Philippines I don't think that will have a very large effect. But still I'm hoping that the next time my mom surfs the net, she would glance upon that wonderful blog.

Resolutions

ok now that the semester is already starting i think it's time to make some resolutions. im not the type to make resolutions but i think i really need it this time (if i want to graduate). anyway, here goes:

1.Acads gets the top priority:
-even if it's just an assignment or a seatwork or teh design I want to spend my time first finishing every requirements before anything else

2.Minimize O2jam and other games:
-since ive been playing all my life here in UPLB i think it's time to cut my playing time to 25% at the most. i cant really remove playing in my system because im a hardcore gamer and it's the only way i can get rest from all those requirements.

3.Miming gets the next priority after acads.
-i love her.

4.Go home early:
-10pm-11pm at the most.

5.Aim for 1.0:
-i know it's very hard to get an uno especially in my course but still it's not impossible.

6.Aim for the sky, at least you fall on the roof:
-always aim for the highest grade.

7.Be creative:
-this concerns my ChE165. i need to be creative in order to get a high grade. i will not allow my laziness to conquer me.

8.Don't forget that you have friends:
-never take them for granted. theyll add to the stress if you do so.

9.Have Fun:
-im an expert at this. :D

that's about it. i hope i can accomplish them all. :D i love you cherrie! mwah!

"Heaven falls. Details at eleven."

i know i'm double posting pero i just found this very nice and very short story by robert jordan. :D here's the story: "Heaven falls. Details at eleven." that's it. apparently the fantasy writer's world is trying to acoomplish the same goal Ernest Hemmingway did when he wrote his 6-word short story "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." which he called it his best work ever. so dragonmount.com asked robert jordan to write a very short story. and that's what he wrote. i don't know if you get the story but if you are a wheel of time fan you will be very much amazed at the amount of details he put in that 5-word story. :D i just love Knife of Dreams :D

Divine Assault.... Nibelung Valesti!!!!


ID HUK!

Nyuuu~~

sigh.. the presence of "ka" is thin in this region..

there's no one here except BScat (Kimchie the trash cat). I'm starting to consider BScat as a good companion though she just stares at me then pounces on stuff then bites my ankle.. arrr Celsus is not around either.. good thing Danielle (asheara: o2jam IGn) kept me company.. we played a round of songs and that felt good. But a while ago she left for dinner.. I'm hungry..

Ka really is thin in this region... and it's getting thinner.. kelan ka ba uwi dito? daan ka naman... nyuu~~~ mishu "ka"...

btw, i would like to thank Dani for giving me this wonderful avatar. ID HUK!

It's a Beautiful day!

ID HUK!



just finished my round of songs in o2mania. My arms are kinda tired so I decided to search the net before playing o2jam. I recently made new friends in o2jam and it feels good. But master Celsus has been cruel to me T_T but he's been a great teacher. I have recently reached level 40 but it feels like i haven't acquired the power of level 40 yet. sigh... a level 42 with a level 26 skill.. oh well... practice practice!! ^^ ID HUK!

anyway, there's nothing new in my life this past 1 1/2 months. my first exam this sem will be on thursday and i havent studied yet..

ok, done with my academic update. on the lighter side of my life, my dear "ka" has just been accepted in a call center somewhere in makati or alabang.. hohoho she really is ID HUK! Im so proud of her. :D ID HUK "ka"!

BSAT, a taekwondo varsity org here in UPLB where I'm included recently held an orientation. it was good.. really good.. Jr and me sparred that night and I was happy that I was chosen to spar. ID HUK!

traina and hirap mag-english! ID HUK!

I should be doing something

Sigh.. classes starts today.. my 8th year in college.. i sure hope this will be my last year in UPLB.. i really want to graduate this time.. unfortunately i dont have a class in my one and only subject today.. Eco11 lecture. so i am here in front of Andrew's pc.. bumming.. doing nothing when i should be doing something. arghh... why am i so lazy... oh well... i think i just need my "someone" to keep me from moving on.. sadly, that "someone" is in muntinlupa right now.. bumming... doing nothing when she should be doing something too. :P anyway, that line magically woke my system.. so goodbye for now. i think i'm going to train a bit then head to CEAT then go home. ill try to be diligent this time around.. let's see what happens. ciao!

End of Summer

3:23am H5

Summer, my best summer vacation ever is about to end.. time to start a new life in UPLB.. as a diligent student.. impossible as it may seem I'm looking forwards to seeing myself study hard before an examination or reviewing notes while waiting for the class to start. fun time is over, it's time for me to get serious with my life if I plan on doing something with it. it's very hard to imagine myself beign serious in my academics and it's a lot harder when I'm already doing it. the only thing that will push me to carry on will be the memories my friends and i created this summer..

April: Probably the happiest day in Cherrie's life. after 6 long years Cherrie has finally graduated college.. I can still remember the old days when i have to go fetch her just to make sure she attends the next class. those wonderful afternoons where Im always looking forward to walking with you to Crossing because Im able to rest my hands on your shoulders and pretending that Im your boyfrend ^^... hehehe... sobrang dami na natin pinagdaanan.. sana eto pa lang ang simula ng kalsada nating dalawa. ^_^

March-May: summer classes! and the good thing is... wala akong klase! grabe ang sarap pala magbakasyon.. naaalala ko pa nung bata ako ayaw na ayaw ko ng summer vacation kasi walang baon tapos di makalabas kasi walang pera at bata pa... pero ngayon basta may pamasahe ako sige lang! labas lang ng labas! heehe para nga akong border sa bahay namin ngayong summer e. aalis ng tanghali babalik ng gabi... nakakaguilty minsan kasi di ko natututlungan si mama pero teh hell! first time ko lang nakapagsummer break in 7 years! :D of course inubos ko ang oras ko sa taekwondo. nagpalakas ng katawan... :D may naidulot namang maganda dahil naka-gold medal naman ako sa tournament namin.. hohohoh!!!

May (post summer classes): walang katapusang kalokohan. laro ng ragnarok, nood ng drama, halohalo, kwentuhan (tungkol sa ragna), densha otoko... at ang sobrang nakakaiyak na Summer Snow (thumbs up for you dianne dahil pinapanoodm o sa amin kahit lahat tayo umiyak... though tumatawa si andrew habang nanonood kami hula ko naiyak din un lololz!)

ang saya noh? para sa akin hindi masaya yan. ang masaya sa akin ay yung mga paminsanminsang pagdalawa ni Cherrie dito sa lb para lang makita ako. yung ang dahilan kung bakit ako masaya ngayong summer vacation. sya ang kumukumpleto sa buhay ko. sya na nga lahat ang magdedefine ng lhat ng gusto ko sa aking buhay, (well except siguro sa katamaran nya) .. :D pero ang masasabi ko sa inyo lokohin nyo na ko sa ragnarok, ipamukha nyo na sa akin na nagpakasal kayo or magkaparty kayo or magkausap kayo, walang talab yun. dahil sa oras na bisitahin ako ni cherrie ngingitian ko na lang kayo dahil ako kayakap ko sya. kayo hinde! bleh! :P:P hehehe mahal na mahal ko yan si cherrie kahit na madalas nakikita nyo na di kami mushy o sweet sa isa'tisa.. teh hell kayong lahat. mahal ko sya mahal nya ko, yun na yun.

This is my best summer vacation dahil nandito parin si cherrie *thumps fist to chest* at walang kayang pumalit dun..

The End is The Beginning is The End

Just finished reading the Dark Tower series. And for now let me be the wordslinger. Thankee-sai!

The Dark Tower series tells the tale of Roland Deschain and his qeust for the elusive Dark Tower. The sotry begins in Out-World where Roland chases the "man in black" whom he think knows the way to the Dark Tower. In his journey, he draws 3 companions from our world to accompany him in his quest. What's so capturing about the book is how the author connects our world to Roland's world and to other worlds as well. While the main plot is Roland's quest to reach to Dark Tower (not to save it I tell yah, but to reach it and find out just what is inside) the character development remains rich in pertinent detail while preserving the mood of the story. In other words, there never was a dull moment in the series. As the story progresses, the excitement increases exponentially leaving the readers gasping for air by the time they reach the last book. The book was masterfully done and exquisitely rich with details, many readers will either praise Sai-King or condemn him to hell by the time they finish the book. But we should always remember that Sai-King did not made these things up, he only wrote down what he saw.

While I was reading the series, two questions persistently troubles my mind every now and then, and maybe as a reader of The Dark Tower series you might probably encounter these questions. "What will happen to Roland after he reaches the Tower? and "What is inside the Tower?" But I know you all know the answer, most of us just can't accept it.

It's ka

And as for me, Ves-Ka'Gan sings beautifully inside my head. what more can i ask for?! :D

Long day and pleasant nights! Thankee-sai! :D

Once is enough, Twice is another, Three is Triple Kill!!

The other day Celsus informed us that there was to be a DotA tournament the next day somewhere in San Antonio. Andrew and I wanted to join but unfortunately our teammate Gelosas wasn't around so we kinda decided not to join unless we manage to get our third member. Yesterday while Cherrie and I were playing DotA AI in h5, Andrew and Dianne came and informed us that team Gebranka (Celsus, Marksman, Ewan) were banned from the DotA tourney which was to be held that day at 5:30 pm. So Andrew decided to forego with joining the tourney with Dianne as our third member. Although Dianne was very pressured by our advices she still enlisted herself as our team member. when we arrived there we discovered that we can afford to have an alternate member, so we decided to pick Celsus as our alternate. Since it was the Team Gebranka who were banned and not the individual players. so with Dianne off the hook, we started the match with confidence and great pressure because I was dumb enough to put Gebranka as our team name. we had to live up to that name or be damned by celsus's team for the rest of our lives.

The first match was against Team Ziggurat (whom I've heard were the ones who requested for Marksman's team to be banned). The lineup was as followed

Scourge: Me/Lich , Drew/Medusa , Celsus/Krobelus

Sentinel: Rhasta , Sven , Sniper

the match was good but what brought them down was their WTF item build, Skill tree, and their WTF farming. Sniper decided to make a caster sniper, Cleaving Sven, and Double Eul's rhasta. while rhasta managed to pawn Andrew's ass in the early game, sniper and sven were very outmatched in their lane. also they were surprized by our new hunting tactics which was the "Need help? ill TP = Ownage" tactic. also after medusa got enough money from farming while me and cel manages to push the 3 heroes with just the 2 of us, he managed to have his revenge with rhasta. :D the match was good. one thing i couldn'y forget was when we ambushed sven while farming in the bottom lane with 15 of our creeps. basta pinanood lang namin sya magfarm habang binabarya sya ng creep namin tapos nung kalahati na lang buhay nya saka namin pinatay. napakaWTF talaga :P

The Second match was against some team from Calamba daw. basta ang masasabi ko lang... kilala nyo sina padizo? yung naglalaro sa Gandalf na may kasamang girl na naglalaro? kaya nilang durugin yun team na yun ng walang hirap. the match was like a break for us. the line-up were:

Scourge: Me/Lich , Celsus/Krob , Drew/Doom

Sentinel: Morphling , Rhasta , Syllabear

basta nakakatawa. panoorin nyo na lang yung replay. natatawa talaga ako level 3 first blod ni Lich. grabe yun yung pinakamabilis kong first blood. lvl 10 na ako yung rhasta 5 pa lang yta o 4. basta wtf talaga. nasiraan kami ng 1 tower kasi pabaya si andrew (hehe joke lang!), basta nagpupush na kasi kami nun tapos nagttrip na lang kami kaya di namin napansin na binabasag na pala ng creep yung 1st tower ni drew. wawa sila creep pa nakabasag ng tower. rexxar lololz! :P

yung Finals yung sobrang pinagisipan namin kasi team Area51 yung kalaban namin comprised of Dim, Rey, and Arct tapos AP game sya tapos halinhinan sa pagpili ng heroes so expected namin na lich ang unang kukunin kasi lakas deny. fortunately for us, eventhough di kami nanalo sa toss nakuha parin namin yun lich kasi pinili nilang ideny kay celsus yung krob. but denying celsus krobelus was their greatest mistake kasi ang pinili ni cel ay si nevermore. while drew happily picks doom bringer, the other team picked sniper and venomancer to complete the lineup

Scourge: Me/Lich , Celsus/Nevermore , Drew/Doom

Sentinel: Dim/Venomancer , Arct/Sniper , Rey/Krobelus

so our plan was to harrass sniper para di lumaki. fortunately katapat ko sya. ayun harassed sya. basta ang galing. masasabi ko lang, kung wala kaming manok malamang talo kami. di kami naubusan ng wards so di naambush si drew tapos di na kami halos umuuwi gawa ng manok. pero yun yung pinakamagandang laro nung gabing yun. :D

all in all that was a great way to end the DotA sem, and although wala si Gelosas alam kong masaya parin sya para sa amin. para sayo yung panalo namin Gelo! Mabuhay!! Rexxar Lololz!! ingat ka jan tol!

New layout

I grew tired of the Pirate Cat.. this one's more soothing to the eye. and it suits my life right now.. chaotic yet peaceful.. and I like this one very much because my princess chose this skin for me and it reminded me that i was once her frog prince, not that i won't be her frog prince anymore but right now I'm just an ordinary frog to her. but this frog will strive hard to put away the curse that was casted upon him. only the princess can save him now!

Naks! ang drama! :D hope you like my new layout.

3on3 DotA tournament result OMFWTFBBQ!!

Wow! I never thought we would have that much fun in that tournament. On top of that, i never thought being at 3rd place would be that cool.

Now we present you, ang Kupunan ni Eugene!!!
Si Louis bilang si Dr. Ichigaki!!
Sentinel : Shandelzare Silkwood the Vengeful Spirit
Scourge : Krobelus the Death Prophet


Si Gelo (Team Leader) bilang si Gwapong Suzuki!!
Sentinel : Ezalor the Keeper of the Light
Scourge : Terrorblade the Soul Keeper
b

At si Andrew bilang si Mr. Valdez!!
Sentinel : Sven the Rogueknight
Scourge : Lesalle Deathbringer the Venomancer


When I discovered na yung una naming kalaban e mga taga-Area51 kinabahan talaga ako. ayoko kasi madisappoint si Gelo sa amin kasi gusto namin at least di naman kami matalo sa first game namin. sayang nga naman yung 2 weeks namin na pinractice kung sa unang laban palang e OWNED na kagad kami diba. but with a few trust with my teammates and a bit of teamwork we managed to push our enemies inside their base and manage to have our first win. the second bout was like a replay of the first one except that we were on the Sentinel team. things went quite well for us except that we were not fit enough to stay focused at play from 7pm to 5am. natalo kami nung team nina JM nung nagkaroon sila ngchance na labanan ulit kami after they lost to us. oh well that's life, pero that wasn't bad either because we were tied with Team Vampirism comprising of the big three sa LB si Marksman, si Celsus, at si Ewan who are considered the most difficult team to defeat sa DotA. it was a good consolation na may bragging rights kami na kapantay namin sina Celsus. it's so cool! anyway, di na kami magssourgrape na dapat twice to beat kami nina JM. masaya na ako na nakasali kami sa tournament and we proved that we can be competetive with other player here in Lb along with my teammates Gelo and Andrew. Back na ko
