Olllaaa my friends! Again, I have been MIA the past couple of weeks due to SCHOOL STRESS, STRESS and MORE STRESS! hehe  If you guys visited my tumblr, I have a pic there of my planner which was instantly filled the minute I got back to school. Practices, projects, trainings and paperworks have now become my flesh and blood. Going online and chatting with you guys is just one of the perks. Now I have to finish my FINAL draft on my English research paper and I hope to God that it's OK! hehe. :p

Anyway I was in the mood to blog. I mean I've been meaning to blog coz I found these AMAZING innovations on the internet. Who says that the youth and society are getting dumber? NO EFFING WAY! If people could mass produce mini-shelter homes or a bag-chargers, then the world would be a better place. Look at these fantastic creations




The Uber Shelter
"Dismantled, the Über Shelter looks like a large gray gurney. But this
compact pile of aluminum unfolds into a two-story home, complete with
lights, stove, porch and a small refrigerator. Rafael Smith, a senior
in the industrial design program at Purdue University, designed the Über Shelter for his undergraduate thesis project.

On a vacation in Manila the summer before he began the project, he was
shocked by the crushing living conditions of those in poverty; when he
got home, he began researching the architecture of shelters around the
world. With no previous knowledge of refugee camps, he sought the
advice of doctors, policy makers aid workers and a Sudanese refugee he
met online."

Soo Cool! It's just sad that it was inspired by Manila in a bad way... well it's now good because it could hopefully solve a few of our problems (and he might send a few free ones too! hehe).




SOLAR BAG
"Joe Hynek may be the only student at Iowa State University
who carries a handbag for “scientific purposes.” On cloudless days, he
wanders his neighborhood to test whether the purse, which is plated in
thin solar panels and contains a lightweight battery, is absorbing
energy from the sun. After three hours of direct exposure, the purse
generates enough electricity to charge an iPod, camera or cellphone.
(The bag will also charge — more slowly — if placed next to a window.)
Mr. Hynek is currently working on the final touch: a small display
screen that will indicate when the purse is best angled for absorbing
the day’s light."

I'd love to have a bag like this! Man, you could charge anything now and it'd save you LOADS on electric bills! hehe just wish they'd improve sa design pa. :p hehe




ELEPHANT STUFF

"Lily Chong and Matt Kalish, both 21-year-old juniors majoring in
industrial design, thought about interactive toys for the assignment,
perhaps two tigers whose eyes would light up when a child touched the
paws together. Then one day the class was critiquing student projects,
and someone dismissed an idea as “That’s so gay.” As students debated
whether the phrase was offensive, the professor stepped in to steer the
class back on topic. But some students left the class feeling awkward.
You couldn’t just ignore the issue or bury hurt feelings.

Ms.
Chong and Mr. Kalish started thinking about elephants instead of
tigers. Rather than being the figurative thing unsaid, maybe an actual
elephant in the room could help people talk about difficult subjects.
They came up with the idea of stuffed elephants that would communicate
via wireless chips buried inside their soft centers. If one person in a
room squeezes an elephant for three seconds, all the other elephant
eyes light up. “It lets everyone know there’s an issue, we have to talk
about it,” Ms. Chong says. The person raising the concern remains
anonymous. "

It'd be a cool  giveaway and a neat tool for learning in my opinion. Plus it looks SUPER CUTE!! goodness! hehee

I've also expressed here in my blog my admiration of a few people, namely Robert Downey Jr., Johnny Depp, Bill Gates and especially STEVE JOBS (co-founder of Apple AND Pixar!!-- my future job place! well i like to think so anyway). My lappy and panda-touch wouldn't be here right now if it weren't for him. Microsoft would just be boring if they didn't have any competition at all. Jobs brough something to the game! I just read an article on the latest TIME magazine concerning the possibility of Jobs' retirement (GASP!) due to his health problems (hormonal imbalance thing, he had pancreatic cancer then, grabe... hope he's OK..). Now we've seen Gates' step down from his mighty position and Microsoft is still on the roll. But what IF Steve Jobs leaves Apple? MacWorld survived the experience without Job's notable Keynote address which was instead precided by Phil Schiller, a candidate for the next CEO if ever Job's retires. He did a decent but without the "presence" of Jobs. Jobs was an innovator and everyone simply have to lend their ears to this Houdini who has LOADS of things to say.

I do hope he gets well soon.. I mean Apple still has a lot of potential! Now that it has covered mobile phones, they might probably go into printer/scanner/whatever things. He'd probably create a new line of something spectacular... so hopefully the imagination of Apple doesn't die out yet... PLS!!!

Sorry for the passinate rant. I'd love to work for Apple/Pixar but with Steve Jobs still sa head! hehe.

I've actually have a lot more things to say. Like the time....

.........I ERASED THE TRASH BIN WITH MY 37.9GB WORTH OF DISNEY/PIXAR MOVIES!! (55 movies in all!!) So yeah, I had to download them again. 5.11gb down. 32 more to go!!
.........I GOT OUR CUTE PERSIAN KITTY NAMED KATY/KATIE/KITTEY
.........I watched the OPENING specials of AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 8!! (i still don't see THE ONE. But Michael Castro - Jason Castro's younger bro - is CUTE! haha :P)
.........our Ateneo INTACT Exposure trip with street kids!!
.........NINTENDO DS is ALIVE once more!!

More happenings from me in tumblr! Pls do goo viisit! hehe :p Follow me there and I'll follow you too! :P hehe

Well have to go now! EEP! ALMOST 7PM! haha must do research paper!

Got a myyearbook thing too... hehe Add me!

http://i42.tinypic.com/2nbfrqs.jpg


Hey guys! EEPZ!! Sorry I had no chance to do a video blog! urgh, so sorry! I was capturing some videos on the eve of December 31st but sadly... I thought they didn't seem too nice.. lolz! haha Coz there were the booms and screams of fireworks and all that commotion, but let's see. I'll maybe upload it :p haha!

But I did get to do a Tumblr account!! I find the word tumblr to be unique and different even though the familiar tumbler would just mean... a container of some sorts. Who cares? It's such a weird word. Haha! Anyway I've converted this into a photoblog and I've joined the Project 365 c/o Ate Gel and I will post a pic EVERY DAY. That's the challenge right there! So guys if you want to see some action every day, Go follow/visit me there!

But wait... I have no cam.... BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ... haha Fortunately MOM AND DAD GOT ME ONE!! Whoot! OMG, grabe the first things that came true are the ones I thought most impossible to get.... Geeshh.. maybe I should put everything on my wish list as impossible....like the IRONMAN DVD WITH SPECIAL FEATURES.... haha :p


Canon's IXUS 870.
Canox IXUS 870 IS (we got the gold one! coz...la lang)


Anyway it's a CANON IXUS 870IS!! hehe We got it for a bargain (imagine, nacut-off ung price for 9000php!!) at Quiapo at Henry's Camera (advertise advertise!). Dad decided to buy a camera when he saw our neighbors HOLDING A SLR CAMERA AND BIG-ASS LENSES! So you know, male pride kicked in and he said that we should have one too. But we're not professionals yet so there, we just got this and I DON'T REGRET it! hehe The images are amazingly clear and the video too! Love love it!! hehe. I'm gonna name it Camm-y just because... I'm a bad namer :( Or goldy...

Wow, this new year had been really different for me for these reasons:

1. Big Bro wasn't here. He was off partying in Portugal... LUCKY GUY! bwahhaa but he didn't have that much to eat as I did! bwahaha!!

2. I ATE NONSTOP FOR MORE THAN A WEEK! It started on Christmas Day and it didn't stop until Jan 1. AND NOW I'M A BIG FAT ARSE... *cries and laments*

3. We hopped to relatives' place more than usual. First it was at my mom's side. And I got to bond more with my cousins there. haha! Pls check out my multiply album for rare family pics! haha :p And then we went to dad's side amidst problems with grandpa... uh.. those are more personal things. And I got to bond more with my cousins too! :p hehe.

4. We had no fireworks. As in NADA, not even lusis, the magic wand sparkling things but I was still happy. Our neighbors never cease to amaze me with their fireworks especially those at both ends of the street. grabe! You thought that they were holding a contest or something. Haha and our next door neighbor had around 5 Sintoron ni Hudas (Judas belt, you know the really LOUD ONES). Almost became deaf again that night. Too bad I was the only one excited. Mum and Dad just wanted to stay inside. I braved the smoke and noise alone.. :((

5. We went to A LOT OF PLACES ON JAN 1~! hehe Far places pa. First we visited our soon-to-be pet parrot named Gray (coz again we have nothing better to name it...)



And then off to Cainta, Rizal to check on Queenie's bros and sis



Then to Tagaytay-Batangas to EAT OUT. Grabe si mum! hehe we almost got lost noh coz the place was SUPER SECLUDED as in it was at the dead end... lolz! haha YUMMY food though! :P


No exact pic :P hehe Kaya puro Carp nalang!

Hehe well that's it. I'll be posting again soon coz... BACK TO SCHOOL ON JAN 5 and frankly, I'm REALLY NOT READY! Really... hehe :p

Oh here's something to be amazed at...HOPE HE JOINS AI! And speaking of AI... American Idol month na nga pala!! OMG!!!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com CHRISTMAS DAY!!!

There is no other alias for it, no other name for it but....
CHRISTMAS DAY!!


Yeap, it wouldn't especially be complete without CHRIST in Christmas! It's the Lord Jesus' day today and I can say that it has been a blast! Praise and thank the Lord! He has blessed us today so much..

Even though I was a bit emo yesterday. Okay, make that A LOT EMO. I was watching pa the vid here that our Literature teacher showed us. I LOVE THE SONG! Creepy, eerie and cool!!! GO BJORK!!



Björk ft. Thom Yorke - I've seen it all




I recently heard that my friend's dad and another friend's mum passed away... and mum's friend's mum also passed away and a blockmate of mine's grandpa is in a very bad condition. It kind of makes you reflect how fortunate you are. It reminds you of the REAL meaning of Christmas. To share your joys with the people you love. And it's such a hard time for my friends to be in such grief during the Christmas... I hope that they are OK..

And I hope that my brother makes the right decision... and hope that history doesn't repeat itself... this story is another discussion I'm afraid. And a gloomy one at that so I won't continue anymore and just..

GIVE OUT MY CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE!! whoot!~ hahaaha
Vlog #6!




Hehe and I just feel so grateful now... I recently had lunch a while ago at my mum's side and I was soo happy to see my cousins again! Especially my uncle and his family who moved from Denmark to Shanghai! haha My cuz is just so young and interesting! haha. And i was able to bond with them while playing cards, Spore and all. haha. I think I'm beginning to feel the "Big Sister" thing because I am the 3rd eldest in the clan. Well mum's side anyway and I'm feeling old and protective now. I wanna squish my little cousins!! Haha they're just soo cuute! hehe. Di kasi ako sanay maging ate, haha bunso kasi ako dito sa pamilya namin :P lolz!!

And I'VE GOT ONE OF MY WISH LIST!!! TO FIND OUT, WATCH THE VIDEO!! hehe A tribute to all those who gave me gifts, I LOVE YOU ALL ESPECIALLY MY MOTHER DEAREST!!!!! *hugz*

Image hosted by Photobucket.com First ever Christmas Wish List

Hi guys! hehe just to clarify, the last post was a paid-to-blog post but I really do mean every word there, I would love to have a Rockband set and the Patapon game on PSP! (but i don't have a PSP...) wahhz!

And here's more downloading news! Here are the latest additions to my movie downloads:
52. A Scanner Darkly
53. Happy-Go-Lucky
54. Let the Right One In
55. Tinkerbell
56. Memory Keeper's Daughter
57. The House Bunny
58. Shrek the Halls (short film)
59. Shawshank Redemption
60. Little Children
61. Death at a Funeral


I've been blogging for a long time now and I've never done a wish list. Maybe it's because I know people wouldn't be able to get me the things I want (uh, i was a kid who had unreasonable wishes, lolz! well i still have them! hehe) or it was too much of a hassle. But I realize on the day we were drawing lots for the block exchange gift giving that it was sometimes necessary because people needed guidance too on gift giving so they wouldn't waste money. I already have a gift for that special blockmate (yeah! it's gonna be soo cool! hehe :cool) but i didn't concentrate on my wish list on my ballot. I was in too much of a hurry since I was the head fascilitator of the group during that meeting. But here's a list, maybe still a bit unreasonable, but I hope they would come true. This list serves as something that I really desire or want this year.

 http://www.spideyreloaded.com/ironman_711.jpg
1. Ironman Original DVD (kahit not exact casing)

Okay, today's the day when I proclaim my fandom for.......IRONMAN! Okay, not the comics, not even the plot or story (well except I really like the character of Tony Stark! Brains, Charisma, a good heart, looks!!) but I've become a superfan of ROBERT DOWNEY JR.
http://jaded4good.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/robert-downey-jr-1207-lg1.jpg

Grabe ang galing niya sa movie! He was the main reason why I enjoyed Ironman so much~! And I just realized what an incredible actor he is! If you've seen Chaplin, Zodiac, even Tropic Thunder, you can't just ignore his CHARISMA and GREATNESS! gosh, i thought i wouldn't like him in Tropic Thunder honestly but he pulled it off! My gosh. So yeah, now I'm a super fan. I will watch all his movies from now on (next on list is A Scanner Darkly) and of course, his next movies, The Soloist and Sherlock Holmes! hehe.

Oops this has become sort of a fan rant, lolz! well I would love the DVD because of the SPECIAL FEATURES! You might wonder why a pirate-er like me would like to buy original dvds when i can just rip it off or go to our suki sa Divisoria and buy a dvd there, but THEY wouldn't have the bonus features which includes DELETED and ADDITIONAL SCENES, Commentaries, Behind the scenes and of course, RDJ'S AUDITION VIDEO! haha. so please, if you really want to make me happy this Christmas, grab the Ironman dvd! haha. There are a lot of versions but as long as they have all the special features, i'm happy with it! Kahit walang case, ung CDs lang! haha :P


 

2. Cornyness earrings

My friend Danwei makes these uber cute clay earrings!! I have already bought from her way back around 2 years ago and the earrings are just beauties! She just added a new collection and I've got my eye on the Momo earrings (my Momo earrings are lost! wahhzz), or Bear-head earrings, or Toasty earrings or Chocolate Cookie earrings! aww they're soo scrumptious!


Image of Sweet PandaImage of Pink Bunny Scarf Hat
I've always wanted these since I stepped into the blogosphere. I stumbled this on Danwei's shopping guides i think and I fell in love with the adorable fleece hats!! Call it impractical, useless or whatever, I still want it because of the cuteness!! *dies* I don't even mind the design, it can be anything coz they're all just screaming CUTE!!


4. A Yellow Bag (No picture)

I'm a bag-a-holic. If you've read one of my old posts, i've passionately already discussed my love for bags. I've already collected various hues of bags: red, purple, striped green, navy blue, white, tan, gray. Yellow has been a color I've been contemplating on getting but.. I just can't seem to find 'the' bag. Every single yellow bag was small... and I needed a BIG BAG for school since I'm the bag lady, for some reason I just need to put lots of stuffs in my bags so each bag tend to way a few kilos. Urgh. So there. I'm wishing for a yellow bag this Christmas :P hehee


5. Mini vacuum cleaner (No picture)

I was with mum at Debenhams one time and they had these super cool (and EXPENSIVE!! it's europe's dept store rin eh) toys esepcially this ducky stuff toy which you can strangle and it produces quacking noises of plea. And if you press its hand, the little ducky would walk and dance around! Ah, children's toys nowadays are really something noh? hehe. But i didn't want that ducky, what caught my eye was this MINI (as in literally mini) vacuum cleaner! It looked like a vacuum cleaner shrinked to the size of a 7 inch toy. It was perfect for a desktop cleaner and KEYBOARD CLEANER! Or a cleaner that can catch the dust in little small spaces and the cool thing is that it's USB-powered so no batteries needed! I can't find a picture online though... A mini vacuum cleaner would be nice...


6. Geek Shirt

These shirts would definitely make you want to BE a GEEK! haha. I super love the CompSat's Geek shirts but unfortunately... i still don't have one... sighs..

http://megcellent.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/mrsfields.jpg
7. COOKIES!!

Lots and lots of cookies!! MRS. FIELDS COOKIES!! The cookie store right in front of our stall noong tiendesitas... BASTA COOKIES!!


http://www.buy4ds.co.uk/images/products/editor/r4all.jpg
8. R4 DS Cartridge

My DS is getting lonely since I haven't been buying any games now coz... I find them expensive... So i thought why not a R4 Cartridge? I can just download games and play them!! ehhe :P


http://images.devshed.com/dh/stories/Best_Noise_Cancelling_Headphones/bose_2.jpg

9. (Start of extremely hard to get wishes) Bose Head Phones

YES!! THE BOSE HEADPHONES!! Preferrably the Quietcomfort ones but that is SUPER IMPOSSIBLE.


10. And the most impossible of all.... SONY/CANON CAMERA!

Any latest Sony Camera and Canon! I've lost my camera (the old one buti.. it was a bit buggy na eh) last semester at school and I've just been stealing photos again... it's nice to hold your own camera... I do wish i could get another one....

Well here's the list! I do hope some would come true... i do hope....

Questions for you to ponder guys!
What's you top 3 Christmas wish list this year?
What's your top 3 REALLY UNLIKELY wishes this Christmas?

Updates when I update guys! :cool

Image hosted by Photobucket.com Shopping for the Kid at Heart

I'm still a kid (well i would like to think so anyway) since I haven't crossed the border between the teen to the -tee so yeah, I still act like a kid. Especially this season of love, generosity and hope!! I do love the Christmas season and I especially tend to get carried away with it. Especially the gift giving and receiving part...it's the kid in me you know.. So I can't help if I would want a new DS game or a PS3 game or a set of Rockband instruments perhaps? I've recently found a love for that game since you can actually play like a real band - as a group and sing/play your heart out without actually disturbing the song. Cool ain't it? haha. So I've got a shopping list of video games here which I found at this awesome site called ShopWiki.

I would also want a PSP you know because of that Patapon game which Honey Lynne lent me during the leadership program. It's such a weird and interactive game! You can't help but sing along to your little tribe, "Pata-pata-patapon!!" or "Chaka-chaka-patapon!!"!! haha That made me laugh so much!

And PC games, how can I forget them. I mean they were the reasons I first went to type the keyboard at the wee age of 8! I'd play Jumpstart all day long and I'd learn at the same time. I also got hooked to the very first PC game, doi, The Sims! Man, even though it bored a lot of people out, I quite enjoyed them. Gosh... haha.

I guess now it would be more tempting to buy because of....SHOPWIKI! It's such a useful search directory/engine to all the shopping stores that you can find! I mean they give you the power to search with the range of prices and show stores that give the best deals! There are also guides to help you pick the best game for you there. There are also related searches which will give you more choices to choose from. And if you sign up now, you might get an ipod nano. Whoa!

Now if I only have the cash. Seriously though, i want to buy a new DS game or at least a UMD. My DS has been hibernating for a long time. I must bring it out of the shelf and give it some exercise! hehe. I'm going to post my real wishlist here soon. I've never done it before. I guess I must try. Hopefully I'll be able to buy at ShopWiki next time! :p

Image hosted by Photobucket.com Xin de yue ding


新的約定。。。

還沒看到你。。。。只會想念你。。。

Haha disregard second line! To those who can read Chinese... SSSssshhh nalang! lolz. Well basically my subject is how you read the first line "xin de yue ding". It literally means New Agreement or as I'd prefer to call it, New Promise. It's a promise to myself sort of. To start a change. Throw away the old conventions (okaaay.. maybe not exactly throwing away! haha :hehe) and welcome new friends (hi new linkies! :yay). As you can see I've done the first one by making my FIRST ever video blog/vlog! Scroll down to watch my *belated* Halloween message if ya haven't watched yet. Or of course, if ya just want to see me make a fool out of myself, you're welcome to! hehe. Thanks sobra sa positive feedback lolz even though I still think I talk like a child/boy. I never did like my voice... haha i'll probably do another one soon! =) But have to be discreet... I don't want my mum and dad to know I'm doing these... lolz!!

And about something new... I'm absolutely DYING to change my layout because Panda has long been gone on a vacation! I must revamp this site coz... it's already a mess if you can see. lolz! I already have something in mind and I need the artist's permission to use his characters (ano kaya un?? haha suspense!! lolz) so I'm not sure when it will be done but IT WILL BE DONE this year! That's A FACT! hehe.

I need help though, would you guys rather see a site mostly composed of NEON or PASTEL colors? Tag me or comment and I'll gladly do it! I'm having trouble choosing you see... hehe thanks! =)

And I want to start anew in college again. I don't know. I'm just determined more to make it better. To become better at my academic performance (DEAN'S LIST! I WON'T LET YOU GO AWAY!!), to increase school spirit (maybe it's time I get a school shirt.. I don't even have a PE shirt yet...), to mingle more with orgs and blockmates (asides from card playing! i wanna bond! lolz) and to... do something i don't know yet. lolz! :haha. I'm weird like that..



Me, Chair, Chu, Joan

I had such a blast last Halloween night coz it was also my friend Jasmine's debut!! She really had an original idea (well for me anyway coz I haven't seen one like it) for her theme and i loved seeing everyone in hats! Haha I love my mom too coz she found the ridiculously pinkish-floral-with-dead-bird-on-top hat!! haha I won a PHILLIPS DVD PLAYER! lolz. Fun fun fun! =) Glad to see my barkada (Danelle isn't there though!! wahh) and my high school third year family!! They're simply the best for me.... sighs... how did ya spend your halloween night? Or All Saint's Day? hehe.

Oh here's another new thing I wanna try... COSPLAY!! SShhhh again... I know I haven't watched anime for a long time but I've watched a good deal and still be able to call myself an anime fan. Just that.. after the party last Oct 31, it was just fun to dress up! lolz. Problem with cosplay is the costumes and actually becoming the anime character you portrayed! Here's a cosplay blog in case you don't know what cosplay is. I'm just a bit disturbed when girls portray guys... I'm sorry...but I really do find it weird! Pics gotten from here!!


Lineage II Dark Elf
Amazing dedication! Is that really WHOLE BODY PAINT?


The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi - Suzumiya Haruhi
She looks... so much like the character!! I love it!


Naruto - Uchiha Sasuke
Fierce!! But as I have said... girl portraying guys... but anyways I like it!


One thing that will never change in my blog is movie news. SWEAR. You'll read about movies, watch about movies and talk about movies here!! lolz. I'm such a movie geek that I hope to work in film someday! (Taking Computer Science as a course is my first step!)

Here's a trailer of Slumdog Millionaire, one of my most awaited films this year! I first heard about this in one of my favorite movie blogs that it was showing in the famous Toronto Film Festival and it WON people's choice award! Cinematical who did a super review gives a good summary,

Fans of director Danny Boyle's work will find much to appreciate in his latest film, Slumdog Millionaire, a sweeping, hopeful story about a boy in the slums of India who becomes an instant celebrity after he wins millions on India's version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?. Adapted by Simon Beaufoy (The Full Monty, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day) off the novel Q &A by Vikas Swarup, the tale is framed within an interesting narrative structure that revolves around the young man, Jamal, being interrogated for fraud by the police, who cannot believe that a "slumdog" orphan could possibly have known the answers to the questions on the show.


Another Indian film on my watch list! So far, I am enjoying IMMENSELY Indian films as I have told ya about The Namesake and I have also downloaded Bride and Prejudice (Indian take on Pride and Prejudice) which was pretty OK. Some stars in The Namesake would appear on Slumdog and I can't wait to watch them! yey!!

Here's the trailer! =) :hehe



Now I'm so sorry for another long post! Urgh... Just have so much to say.. Maybe I'd vlog it next time! :hehe =)

Updates when I update! :cool

***EDIT!!
Ate Yesha gave me a Halloween message! Aww ang cute! =) Thanks ate ah!! *hugz* I've also joined some contests *points to sidebar* haha! Wish me luck! :P =)

yeshahall

I've also joined this special contest on winning Moleskin's notebooks! They have gorgeous paper such as this pic

moleskinentry

Well ya have to write a short story using only one sentence and here's my entry.

One midsummer night's eve, the remnants of a snow flake inconceivably spilled its teardrops on a little girl's notebook of sorrows: life, death, and memory.

Hope that's okay!! hehe =)

Darn you Apple!! :crapyou :grr

Not just any apple, but THE APPLE. I don't know why they need to make Ipod touch users pay for a freaking software upgrade while iPhone 3G users have it so easy.... FREE. Why oh why?? :wah

I've jailbroken (hacked) my ipod touch you see in the 1.1.4 firmware to get all these cool applications for free. It took me days to do it and now that it's going loco (yah the itouch hasn't been used for a while and when  I opened it, it went into recovery mode, so i need to restore it again.. start from scratch). I must jailbreak it once again using the upgraded firmware. But I'll find a FREE ONE! I HAVE TO!!

This is just a rant post... nothing important here... just wanted to ask if you guys could give suggestions on music since I'm planning to expand my music library. I go for anything EXCEPT HEAVY METAL. No senseless screaming at all! hehe. I love classicals though =) Hehe

Read my last post, it made more sense. Just wanted to rant... hehe :hehe

愛,這個感覺直的是什麼? 何時會發現是真的? 我很不懂因為沒有試過或感覺到。 我實在說其中一個的愛, 就是親人的愛。昨晚我剛剛看電影, Wall*e。 我好幾次哈哈大笑!Wall*e 雖然是機器人,他的表現實在像人一樣動作。他臉上的特點能夠微笑,哭,怕,等等。 他也會跟Eve 開玩笑。因為七百多年已經過了,Wall*e 就當然覺得很很孤獨一個人在世界上把他弄清潔。Eve 來的時候是很重要, Wall*e 就從那天起, 有朋友了。我只是在說 如果一個機器人在落後的世界上會得到親愛,我可能也會得到呢?不可能,可能, 我甚麼都不知道。 我覺得自己沒希望的人。自己並不知道什麼才是愛。

In case you can't read Chinese, thank you! Haha, my grammar absolutely sucks, well not exactly sure if it's called grammar, but the structure anyway sucks because I haven't practiced my Chinese in a really long while. Not since I've graduated from high school that is and also because of the past teaching system my high school used, I didn't get much except for more memorizations. @_@ but I'm trying to bring my chinese heritage back. I'm really trying to.

Just to give you guys a gist of what I was saying, you guys recognize the most famous character (well I think) of the Chinese language right? Well it's love. I guess because of the countless queries of people who want to know what love is in Chinese, we would normally write this down to you. But is love. So just wonder why I'm talking about love. =)

I just recently watched Wall*e and IT DIDN'T DISAPPOINT. I don't think it's enough to be a contender for Best Picture *avoids rotten apples being thrown* because I just have this feeling of... I don't know. It's just me. Anyway I loved this little picture because Wall*e is just so adorable! I've never felt love for a little robot before. I mean the way he treated Eve-a (he calls her that) despite his gullible thinking was full of sincerity. I just can't help but stutter an awww in between scenes. Pixar has definitely done it again! EEPPP!! I'm left speechless here. This is definitely a 10/10 movie for me. Definitely!

Urgh, the past week was sort of a mini-hell week for me, what with the CS computer project (my Ten Stars Hotel! Anybody wanna try it out? hehe PM me! It's java program so you need BlueJ for it to work), Math Long Test4, Lit Midterms, English feature article and next week, CS midterms and Lit long paper. College has never been better noh? NOT. All I can say is I am NOT recognizing math long test 4. IT NEVER HAPPENED. Because of the disaster I made, I am not even considering it existed.

Reminds me of the time I broke the cupholder while searching for our seats in the movie theatre of Wall*E... OOPS! That also didn't happen. My bag (laptop) didn't just hit it with great impact causing the WHOLE CUPHOLDER, to be destroyed and fall to the ground.

I've also been hanging around CompSat forum, my home organization's forum and it's just so interesting to get to know my upper batches! I hopefully understant why I'm in my course Computer Science in the first place and if I really like/enjoy it here. I hope I do... maybe my fickle mind would do something drastic... sobs... but here's a little secret I'm letting you all in...i really...really...like....to...be...a.... VOICE ACTRESS! Of any pixar/disney films. Maybe it's a ridiculous idea, a crazy idea but I love to do weird accents and dialogues and I like to make people laugh. I try to and this is one SAFE way to do it. And I like talking anyway if I'm in the mood. Urgh... it'll just be a dream... =(

Well I think this is it. I'll post more movie/techie news when I see something interesting..

Updates when I update! :cool

Image hosted by Photobucket.com Doggy Ate Bone

Our golden retriever Rocky just ate a chicken bone! Contrary to popular comic belief, dogs don't just go biting a chicken bone but they sort of try to chew and eat it as well therefore endangering their lives. It is quite dangerous for them since these bone shards could damage their intestines/stomach. I am so worried for Rocky!! GRR it's that darn brother of mine who doesn't know how to clean himself up therefore leaving chicken bone on the table within Rocky's reach! GREAT DARN IT!!! I don't want to lose another dog.... please let Rocky be safe... please..... Please do pray for him.

And to add to my sorrows is the news that a teacher assistant died around last Sunday and his body was only found yesterday morning at the Ateneo de Manila University. I only heard of it last night and I was really really shocked. To think that I even passed by De La Costa Hall when going to the leong hall for orientation for the debate. Wow.... it's really scary to know that someone died so close.... Grabe... May his soul rest in peace...

Well on the lighter side of things, June 28 marks history for it is the last day of Bill Gates at Microsoft. After years of hard work to establish his 260$ billion company, he is finally going to retire and leave his office. But nevertheless, Bill will still head his charity foundation. I got this news from Yugatech by the way and they have this nifty little video there about a parody of what Bill's last day would be. It's really HILARIOUS and great CAMEOS! Just watch it and you'll know what I mean.


I've always admired Bill Gates. I mean he made microsoft and who here doesn't have one?? Come on, you have got to have MS word. And Windows, who didn't start with windows here? It's not possible that you started out with Linux. Bill made a great impact to our world especially to mine and I just wanna thank him for that. He has changed how view things in life by enhancing our computer experience. Sure he isn't as creative as Steve Jobs and windows may be virus-filled but it's definitely the most user-friendly. And I admire him too for his great mind. High school dropouts turned successful are always my idols :Bill, Steve, Walt Disney and that guy from pursuit of happiness. These are all great people and I can't believe that Bill is retiring. Well have a good life Mr. Gates, you definitely deserved it! =)

Okay, school hasn't been that cool with me now. I've come to discover that I'm a C+ to B girl. Darn, how am I gonna be in the dean's list (ASA pa ako!) when all the grades I'm getting are all UGH?? People say that I should be contented with that score but the thing is I'm not. I don't want to be a one hit wonder. I want to make change people. I want to do my best and see my efforts bear fruit. I aspire to be a straight A student. Take note of aspire, it is likened to a dream that may or may not happen. Sighs... somebody help me out of this slump!

Well anyway, I'm not getting better but the summer movies are. I have already watched The Incredible Hulk, Prince Caspian, Kung Fu Panda and Wanted and surprisingly I liked all of them (well Prince failed my expectations and Kung Fu Panda was funnier than I expected, I gotta write a movie review about this!). Wanted was especially the MOST INTENSE non-horror film I have ever seen. And James McAvoy is now in my star list!! Ever since seeing him in Becoming Jane, I just knew that his guy is gonna MAKE IT BIG!! Haha! Anyway, my next attractions are Hancock, THE DARK KNIGHT, Hell Boy 2 AND MOST INFINITELY, WALL*E!!


OMG!! Did you guys read themovieblog review about Wall*E??? If people are seriously considering this as the BEST PIXAR MOVIE ever and even managed to knocked The Incredibles and Finding Nemo and Ratatouille (my best films for pixar ever!!) out of the ball park, then WALL*E MUST BE FRIGGING GOOOD! A movie mostly without dialogue, a movie who soley uses visual animation literally to create a story, a movie about robots who have FEELINGS, is actually better than any of these talking masterpieces. If this is true, then i CANNOT WAIT FOR AUGUST 13!! I have no idea why SM or any other cinema here wasn't able to get rights (or whatever you call it, sorry am not exactly a lawyer type of person) to distribute it here the same time as US does!! I mean Wall*E is one of the most awaited movies of the year and they didn't bring it here on time!! Nor did they to Dark Knight. I think this is totally unfair making a fan (aku!!) wait for a movie for 2 months! I mean, no wonder piracy is so prevalent here. I am just soo maaaadd!! URGH!

Anyway... I'm still waiting for the other cool movies like the new James Bond film, REPO the musical and more!! EEEK! I can't wait!! hehee

Sighs.. better go back to the real world now and do my assignment. Sighs, oh college life!

Updates when I update! :cool =)

Nonsensical subjects are my favorite things. Nonsensical blog posts are too. =)

I'm hungry.. and it's 11pm. Is this an illness? Or do I have some worms in my tummy?? ARRGHH!! And Tiffany C's and co's group blog Manila Foodistas isn't helping me at all! SO MANY YUMMMY THINGS! Haha! I really like their food reviews since they're all informative and of course, they provide such delisshh pics! I think they deserve a nomination as one of the top most influencing blogs.

I haven't told you about the letter I received a week ago from an inmate from Orient Ohio. Somehow he got my address from a friend of his who does penpalling and he sent me a letter hoping that I'd write back. He's 26 years old, a father of a beautiful son, 5'11'' and he's in prison for drug trafficking and he hopes to find friendship. I don't know if I should reply. My first reaction to this was WHAT THE HECK??!!! But after a week's thoughts, I think I'd write him a letter too. I have heard of people who want to change for the better and usually people too are the ones that can help him change. It will be nice if I'd give some light to somebody. I don't know. Maybe I need to think more......

I've been having problems with my 5-year old Sony camera. It's bulky and slow, I mean I can't properly picture events and fast moving objects. What I love about though is it's endurance. I mean it has lived for 5 years and it's still alive somehow right? My parents granted me a chance to purchase of a Canon Ixus 970IS since our pet's vet is having a vacation in the US and I could get at least less shipping fee there. The good thing is I found a bargain at Adorama for their very affordable Canon bundle pack! It includes a free table top tripod (I love this!), extra 1 gig memory card, extra battery, camera case and of course the camera box itself. My mum and I, along with Pawpi and Venice, went to Dra's house a while ago to have their scheduled shots and of course to finally get my camera! I've already installed and read the manual (adrenaline can really make you move at ultra speed) and tested all the scenes and capabilities of the IXUS 970IS/ Powershot SD 890IS and all I can say is.... YES NICE COOL!! I absolutely love it! It's 10MP is no joke, and the optical zoom is love. The features all work top notch and I'm glad to have this camera. Well, it's another 5 years till I find a new love. I wonder if Apple would make one... lolz! I'm a Mac-Fan!

Speaking of Mac, I did tell you guys that my sweet sweet mum bought me an ipod touch last march right? Well, i'm proud to say that I have more features than a normal ipod touch owner because I have jailbroken it! It's a term made (most likely) by hackers that means total control of owner over the ipod. Once an ipod touch/phone is jailbroken, it will be able to install various COOL applications and customizations for the itouch. The are endless possibilities now for my itouch. But of course the bad thing about jailbroken ipod is sometimes there are bugs that wreck your ipod. I had a similar problem when I installed the guitar hero theme for tap tap revolution (like dance dance revo, but using fingers!) and unfortunately, my ipod froze and dived into recovery mode. I panicked because the only way to undo this is to restore it which means I HAVE TO ERASE ALL MY DATA! I wanted to cry right then and there but of course, I searched online another way to restore it without losing any data and I have found them from my fellow jailbreakers. I wanna all the guys who made this possible out there.

Here's a pic of my itouch! Hello Kitty much? haha! I've got
more themes! hehe


Just a list of my top 10 most favorite ipod touch applications
10. Twinkle - I can now do mobile twitter without having to pay for anything! Cool noh?
9. Safari - Itouch is now a micro laptop, NEAT!
8. Pianist - My dreams of being a pianist is not over, I can still piano without a piano!
7. Magic 8-Ball - Useful for useless questions
6. HuangRongDao - a game that'll BOGGLE UR MIND!! Just like a rubix cube
5. Pool - it helps pass time. I miss billiards!
4. Converter and MaCalc - A scientific calculator and converter
3. Tris - best tetris game ever!
2. Chuzzle and IZooo - love these games! have to get them 3 in 1 row
1. TAP TAP REVO!! - Super love it! Listen to tunes while tapping beats!

I've found a new fave site, YUGATECH!! It's handled by Abe, a Filipino blogger, who lives off solely by advertising on his blog for now. He does own a few companies though. For more info, just go to his blog. Since I'm pretty much a tech-savvy person, i love to read about the latest technology deals, gadget reviews, and controversies (facebook vs google! wow) but I haven't found a site that particularly involves the Philippines market before Yugatech arrived. I'm glad I've found it! Gotta bookmark it now! hahaa =)

Well, talk again later peepz!

Updates when I update! =)
