The Quake that was 2 and Beef Order # 1

The Quake



It was yesterday (November 27) where I felt the ground shake a bit, it was around 12:10-12:15 in the afternoon... My professor also felt that wave too, for we are in his internet shop playing "Warcraft III Defense of the Ancients (DOTA)". As I arrived home that day, it was proven, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6 that hit the Richter scale started (epicenter) around the Pangasinan coasts while the wave of that was experienced here in Cavite with a magnitude of 2. It is a good thing that only a few incidents and no major damage has occured... and after that around 5:00 - 6:00 a hard rain poured, I think that was the storm who PAG-ASA called "Mina" saying Good Bye Cavite.

Beef Order # 1



Around 5:30 I inquired and started my first day at a local GYM, forgot the name of that gym but I swear there was a big lettering of "GYM" near the door. There was a number of good and heavy equipments... and when I say heavy, I mean really HEAVY! Even though I was just a beginner at that gym I guess the trainer thought I was an iron man or something, what I will not remember is the magical number of 10 and 12. 10 counts, rest, followed by 12 counts of heavy barbell lifting. As I went home my shoulder arms and legs were really sore from the tension... well guess I'll have to cope up with this right? No pain, no gain.

P.S.

By the way if you're asking why am I keep on referring body building as "beef" is because uhm, uh... I think cow meat or beef is lean and meaty which I wanted my body to looked like and not like a thin bamboo trunk.

Operation Beef Up!!!

Wha the? This Post is about Cows?

Another week has passed and I am still slim as ever. You can notice it on my friendster and other accounts (See |C is Seen| in the sidebar)thus I came to a resolution... To add up more confidence I will be starting Operation Beef Up, where I basically go to a Local Gym every MWF to gain some muscles.

Is it that important to me? Uhm I think so, coz we are living in a world where people look at the outside features before looking on what really on the inside (as I observe). Hopefully, if I have successfully implemented this then it is gonna give me a really big boost in my confidence and my health.

So many things had happened the last weekend where I wasn't that blogging much. Last Saturday (November 24) Mother celebrated her 42nd Birthday which was a blast, a lot of drinking, and singing thanks to a videoke... mother enjoyed it, and I am glad she did.

Yesterday I went to a good friend around 8:00 in the evening because I was busy doing my "Isla Original Character Round One Tournament" for the contest posted by a fellow Filipino and Deviant who goes by the Username WANSWORLD. I arrived at his house late just to greet him a Happy Birthday, I knew it was really late but hey, he's my best bud! I found out that there was no celebration but it is okay with him (but if that happened to me I think I'll cry... buuhoo! hahaha what a sissy!) and he was just enjoying his sister's new Play Station Pocket... My natural "I wish I have that" mentality kicks in, I really wished for something like that if it wasn't "THAT" expensive. Well after that visit my passion to finish up my studdies fired up! I am going to finish and have a decent job to afford the things which I really wanted the most!!! (That includes a pc tablet, a powerful pc, playstation III, a Wii, a Psp... hahaha what an ambitious frog I am, hahaha)

Well, if I can't have any Psp games, I guess an Nds Emulator and Rom will do. Good thing taht No$gba has been updated and now I can play the games where I am having troubles p[laying before like Pokemon Diamond, Rune Factory, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy Revenant Wings & III, Lost in Blue and Sims 2 Cast Away...


I only have one question... How can I make fire if there is no touch screen I can blow into if the game is saying "Blow" in a emulated pc game of DS in the keyboard?

Also stumbled upon an upcoming online novel by David Hontiveros

It is so refreshing that Filipino Comics is getting back on its knees, and hope Filipinos can support again this industry, a part of our history and Culture. Last Night as I watched a rerun of "Pinoy Meets World", hosted by Miriam Quiambao and Paolo Bediones. The episode is about their tour around India and its Culture and People.

Article on http://www.igma.tv/ :
http://www.gmanews.tv/story/69299/Destination-India-in-Pinoy-Meets-World

How I wish Filipinos can also be like the Indians that maintains their culture by supporting and still implementing their traditions (like Indian dances and puppetry etc).

Lets act now to preserve our cultures, by returning back to our roots and Support not just the Philippine Comics but all of our ancestors heritage to us, the next generations.

Kamandag C-Review

( ~C-Reviews )




Kamandag ( or "Venom") premierred Monday, November 19, at around 8:30 pm which lasted about an hour thanks to local commercials (guess this means that there is a lot of tele viewers tuned in). Kamandag is from the brilliant mind and creation of Carlo J. Caparas.


- - - - - - -

The world of Kamandag so far...
(Warning Episode One Spoiler ahead)

An enchanted world of half-human and half-animal called "Ambograw" exist beyond a cave in a small community. Gold can be found in that cave but there is the risk that one can never go back.

A local festival is celebrated in Vergel's town and as the Mayor was about to make his speech his extra ordinary sense of hearing kicks in and runs up towards the direction of the Bell at the Church tower. Before the assassin was about to pull the trigger the now snake armored Vergel who is now called the Kamandag diverts the bullet meant for the Mayor. They had this fight scene and ended up in the assasin's escape and Kamandag up in the church Tower asking what he is.

Kamandag

A flashback of where he come from is the next seen. In the enchanted world where 4 Ambog tribes lives, mainly led by King Budog (Half Taurien beings called the Orobaya ), King Gulag (Half-Wolf beings called the Lobobaya), King Saban (Half-Snake beings called the Hasbay), King Dinggol (Half-monkey beings called the Goybaya) and Queen Kuran (Half-feline beings called the Pusbaya).


King Saban of Hasbaya


King Dinggol of Goybaya


King Budog of Orobaya


Queen Kuran of Pusbaya


Conflict arises as King Saban's wife bore a child with a human appearance. Humans that are captured in the caves are trained into slaves to serve to satisfaction for each of the tribe, thus a Law was long before formulated that ambog's having apperance of Humans will be turned into a slave. King Saban condemned the agreement of the tree chieftains (Dinggol, Kuran, and Gulag) thus a duel is set to find out what decision will be taken. In the heat of the duel of Saban and Gulag, as saban was about to win, Kuran set fire around arena causing saban to loose focus, and resulted to Kuran stabbing the helpless Saban. Alicia (Saban's wife) blamed Budog for his negligence for not helping his good friend Saban as Kuran and Gulag slayed her King. Budog was regretful, but he can do nothing.


King Saban and his Queen, Alicia

King Gulag of Lobobaya

Intentions of Gulag was finally seen as he take Alicia as his wife right after Saban died; Alicia, who is obviously helpless agreed. Baya, the spoiled child of King Dinggol took Alicia's child when the caretaker left he child for a diaper change. Baya loved the child coz she tought of it as replacement for her broken human doll. King Dinggol upon hearing this ordered his daughter to return the child or else. Baya with a returned the child but before she run back off, she overheard the conversation of King Gulag and his subordinates that the news of return of Alicia's child must never come to her and after they hide the child, Saban will slay the child himself.

Baya and her Subordinate(Left to Right)

Baya took action by taking the child for safety to the human world. Before leaving the enchanted kingdom Budog saw the two Goybayan children together with alicia's child. Budog then told Baya to keep the human child safe into the human world and after that he place a snake-like amulet charm in the baby's belongings.

In the human world, Baya drop off the baby in the custody of Domeng head a kind family. Baya ordered her subordinate to stay and keep her toy from danger.

Vergel
this concludes episode one.

Impressions, Reactions and Expectations



The Ambiance of the world of Ambog somewhat reminded me of the hit GMA fantasy series Encantadia, Maybe they recronstructed most of the sets (expense-wise) out of it. I was not impressed with the lazy lines and dialogue of the slaves (extras), come on people! If your getting extras to do dialogues, please make sure that they sounded natural and not like reading a narration out of a story book! I mimicked they conversation and my sister was laughing at my imitation of their conversation, yup it was that bad. oh and another one Brandon Vera, the one who played assassin's line with a fellow goon is not that impressive, hope he can practice more on acting, coz the his fight scene with Kamndag was somehow good until he opened his mouth and made a strange expression of fear or constipation perhaps?I appreciated the way Richard Gutierrez looked in the snake skin suit.

Hope this series turns out well. I have high hopes that this series will still have this appeal until the end of the series and this includes, consistency in good graphics, costumes, lines and dialogues (of actors and please get better extras to do lines), progress of the story, humor (Mike Pekto Nacua always plays a good hilarious sidekick), and the authentic overall look (We wouldn't want Kamandag looking more an Encantadia that the Kamandag Title itself) that is Kamandag.

Philippine Congress Bombed

It was all over the news last night...
Also found a supporting news about this heartless act over the net:



- - - - - - -

Bomb blast kills 2 in House, Negros Or. lawmaker critical
BY CARLA GOMEZ

A powerful bomb ripped through a section of the south entrance lobby of the Batasan Pambansa in Quezon City at about 8:05 last night, killing a congressman and a driver, and injuring at least nine others, including two lawmakers.

Dead were Basilan Rep. Wahab Akbar and Marcial Talbo, driver of Gabriela party-list Rep. Luzviminda Ilagan, officials said.
... More

- - - - - - -



I strongly condemn this senseless act of murder as a way to point out to a certain faction what they are fighting for (this includes local or foreign terrorists and murderers).

I despise beings who resolves everything by force and by killing. What has happened to peace and the idealism of what they are fighting for if they willing and are sacrificing lives of their fellowmen. What kind of lazy story for an excuse will they make to their daughters and sons about how they fought their idealism and the human lives they taken? What kind of sick and demented brains do they have for not having mercy, and giving importance to life?

I am really enraged with these acts of this mindless brutes...

But I believe in a greater power that is just and righteous who will bring justice in the end of days to whom they can not escape... Justice will be done.

CHARACTER SPECIAL FEATURE NO. 01: "Hiro Nakamura" Of Heroes

( ~ Weekly C-Special Feature )



Hiro Nakamura is one of the main protagonist on NBC's hit television series "Heroes". Hiro at first is a common office worker working in Japan who spends his time working and imagining that he has a power or special ability like those on what he sees on his comic books, sci-fi series and his father's bedtime tales.






Eventually Hiro does have power, for he is part of something huge, something that he is not yet aware of in season one and maybe up to the present.







Hiro has the ability (if he can concentrate enough - on the first season)to manipulate time, slowing it down, stopping and the ultimate of this moving back in time which can be really dangerous caused he might "disrupt the time space continuum" (as Hiro put it to words) or alter the flow of time.






In season one there are two Hiros. The other is called the "Future Hiro" of a Devastated future caused by the exploding man. His main goal is to undo or stop what is supposed to happen that resulted in the world he belongs to. He is first seen warning Peter Petrelli on a train in Heroes episode five "Hiros". As the series progresses, Future Hiros character was justified and the history why he became the way he was, was seen on Heroes season 01 episode 20 "Five Years Gone".






Hiro teleported back to Kyoto, Japan in 1671, the year of Takezo Kensei after he was thrown off by Sylar in the last episode of Season 01. Hiro in season 02 so far focuses on Hiro trying to correct time by helping the lazy bum Takezo Kensei be the Kensei of His Father's tales.




Hiros character is played by the very lovable actor "Masi Oka". With the popularity of Heroes, characters and actors like Masi got all the publicity and popularity they wished to be knowned.









This is Hiro Nakamura my first special feature character. Expect more different characters from my SPECAIL FEATURE SECTION from time to time.
