Oh btw

My Flapjacks section will not be about my opinions current issues but what is going on that matters to me. It isn't necessarily something related to news and such.

The reason? I admit that I don't give a fuck about the world half of the time. That is all.


Camwhoring with Blanche









I only uploaded my favorites and perhaps the decent ones in this photo session. Enjoy.

HERE WE GOOOOO..HERE WE GOOOOOOO!!




I've been trying to cheer up my best friend. She laments over the loss of her PC and she's given a deal by a friend of hers on a new one. The problem is that she doesn't want to think about her debt within the year.

Apparently, her old PC is working but with a few things not working. She wants to sell it to someone who's willing to revive it and keep it for his or her own use. To this day, people wouldn't want t buy her PC because they don't have enough money or they have enough computers at home.

I hope I could help her in some way, so she would be happy with a new PC. That's all she needs to be happy (besides us her friends, family and food).

GAAAAAH!! O_O

Lately I've been accidentally discovering many artists and I'm itching to download their albums. I've listened to only half of the albums I download and sometimes it takes months or YEARS before I get to listen to the albums or immerse myself into their music.

It's so frustrating.

I might make a list of recommendations or some sort of weekly chart of tracks.

Good evening.

Another Irrelevant Skyrim Post


Hello.

Ok, so Weever is level 29. I want to put on some screencaps but I need to ask some friends how to do it. You can't do it by PrintScreen alone. Modifications are required.

I've accomplished the ff. from the quests:
-I'M THE ARCHMAGE OF WINTERHOLD COLLEGE. ABLOOBLOOBLOO!!!
-I am doing Winterhold quests now.


DREAMS 1: Batman and Robin Hood?



It was a Nolan Batman film. There was this scene that we were investigating some documents that Bruce Wayne signed. There was a name that intrigued us (I forgot the name). It was some sort of pseudonym of someone who also signed that certain document. We knew Bruce was making a reference to a legend.



This legend was somehow similar to Robin Hood. This monk was Robin Hood's most trusted ally and assassin. When they were captured after so many killings done by the empire to track them down. They were liberated from the castle by some allies and they burned down the empire's castle. The monk, being loyal to Robin, decided to stay by gods I don't know why. He died a hero for Robin and his merrymen. I couldn't remember what happened next before I woke up.



I'm sorry the dream was pretty off in terms of detail but I assure you it was one of the best dreams I've ever had. It was pretty epic and tragic to me.

Kthxbye. Waffles. x

Hassle.

-Yeah, I already mentioned about that epic fail of "sending" my seatwork via email to myself. I hope I could get it tomorrow.

-I have to go to school on Wednesday because I forjot to pay for the LEAP t-shirt and the LEAP kit after so many extensions.

-Looks like my spare time will be consumed by going to the gym every Tuesday and Thursday. I shouldn't miss a session if I want to get fit this year. Fuck.

MY CRAZY LIST

These are things I want to try in my life because I want to do crazy things. The only problem is that I won't be able to do them easily. I need to grow a pair to be able to accomplish them with density.

-Try marijuana and acid (I don't care if it has adverse effects or whatever. I just want to TRY).
-Go to school or any other place in drag.
-Punch someone in the face.
-Shout out "You're so normal! I don't like you." whenever I meet an overtly normal person.
-Stalk a celebrity.
-Pretend to be a pedicab driver.
-Walk/run around naked in the house.
-Pull out an epic meal time.

This list is incomplete. You can help by expanding it.

Let's face it

I suck at writing blogs. I look like I'm trying too hard. I am not as awesome as everyone.

I am not fishing for compliments.


MOVIE REVIEW: Underworld: Awakening



Starring: Kate Beckinsale, Michael Ealy, Stephen Rea, Theo James and India Eisley

So far, I've only seen this and the second film in the Underworld series.

What I like about this film is that they were able to introduce to us Selene, the main character of the series as a mother fighting to protect her child and her race. The story is set in the future where humans are eradicating the "infected" ones (vampires and werewolves that were into hiding in the human world). I won't go further into the details of the plot since I don't want to spoil you guys (way to go Captain Obvious).

I enjoyed this film because of the action scenes and the continuity of the plot. I also like some of the characters because they played their roles well in the story. I also like the cinematography of a few scenes because they kind of reminded me of (obviously) The Matrix with a blend of their own unique visuals. What I don't like about it is that the movie was too fast paced and some scenes that could have been improved.

I'm going to give this film a solid 7.5/10 because it's a good sequel with a few flaws. The Underworld series for me is a well-written one due to how it portrays vampires and werewolves. I also love Selene as a character because she is a total badass.

Good grief

-I'm hoping to get things done before the end of this long weekend.

KUNG HEI FAT CHOI!!

A CAT POST

I wish I could understand our cat because I'm the one responsible for him.

Before I continue on, let me introduce him to you guys.

:3

This is William. He's a ginormous Persian cat. My achi's boyfriend gave him to us last Christmas 2008 since his family couldn't take care of him anymore. They have a lot of pets in their house already. He's five years old and he's very gentle.

Okay, my problem here is that lately he wants to go out of the house. We cage him outside the garage at my everyone's wishes (I wish he could just stay inside and roam freely). He would wait by our door to the garage until it opens and he would be able to escape.

I don't know if this is because of our other dog who bothers him a lot (we leash that dog whenever William is out) or  is it because he's hungry (but we feed him canned food twice a day). Is it because there's a rat outside that he can sense (I forbade him to eat such filthy pests) or he wants to mate with another cat.

I tried letting him go outside and make him eat grass because he might want to regurgitate something (hairball, whatever). The problem is that my sister and mom do not want him to do that.

We've pampered him with good food, good shelter, a clean litter box, a scratch post and medicine for his sniffles. I don't know if he really wants to be outside but I can't just leave him there. Everyone's busy and tired, especially me. I just want him to roam freely and be the least of my problems since I can't attend fully to his needs.

Kimbie, if you're reading this, please help me on this one. Thank you.

A really long burn about Soul Calibur V (and maybe the whole series so far)



I've been anticipating this game since I found out that it will be released this year. I thought the series would conclude with IV and Broken Destiny, but boy I was wrong...

I wanted to buy this game because first and foremost, I am a huge fan of the Soul series. I even preferred it to Tekken because it was weapons based and I love the bond between humans and their weapons.

Before Soul Calibur, there was Soul Edge/Soul Blade
The first one was amazing. 
II was the first game to feature guest characters.
III was the first to have a Character Creation mode.
Yes, IV featured Star Wars characters.

Second, was because of the new storyline (17 years after the events of IV) that focuses on Sophitia's children and the new and returning characters. The graphics are so much better than IV, as how detailed the character models, weapons and stages are.



Lastly was because of the new and improved Character creation mode. It offers so much freedom compared to the last two SC's.


Now, I am thinking twice about buying this goddamn perverted game. I will tell you why.

First, the game is very fanservice-centered and very sexist. Especially with the character, Ivy. I mean, I love her because she's badass but the series would make excuses for her to stay in the game and exclude the other characters because she has fucking sex appeal. Take a look at this ad and look how lame it is. I don't know if this is some kind of tongue-in-cheek thing or something to please the guys into buying the game.

Jiggle jiggle

Also, they took out Taki and Seong Mina. Probably because they're fucking 40+ in the game. How come Mitsurugi and Maxi got to stay if they're like 45 or 46?? Watch this video to see what I mean.



Secondly, they left out some of my favorites that could've been in this installment. THEY. TOOK. OUT. MY. SETSUKA. And worse, they gave her fighting style to this guy.



Who's apparently the ALTERNATE version of this guy.



Seriously, I think the developers of this series have become very lazy and I think Namco is giving more way to Tekken. They could've given it to some new character and shit but no. They gave it to this dark version of this dude and they even got rid of the umbrella.

Lastly, here are two leaked screenshots of the full roster of the game. Click here to know more about the game and its characters.

Yes, Kilik is back but wasn't he succeeded by a new character? WHERE'S
ROCK, TALIM, SETSUKA, ZASALAMEL SEONG-MINA AND YUN-SEONG??

Is this one of your excuses to bring back Sophitia or one of your angel/goddess
fetishes?

My only complaints about this game is that the story is not presented well, unlike in Tekken. I also think the series so far is much more focused on gameplay than giving us the feel of following the stories, characters, etc. As I said above, the game is also centered on fan service.

I am very disappointed by how the latest game might turn out. I mean, I've been a long time fan of the series and they've been screwing it up lately. From what I can see, the presentation of the story may look promising but the casting is just awful.

I might be getting this game so that I could follow the story and see what the game has to offer. I hope I change my mind about this game once I play it and I hope the series would improve since I could induce that game developers today are becoming lazy in terms of writing and casting. The recent Final Fantasy games are losing their touch though I might be wrong when Versus XIII and Type-0 are going to be released soon.

I really hope playing this game will prove me wrong. I hope it won't disappoint me so I could continue admiring the Soul Series and anticipate another game.

Shut up, L.A.R.S.

I keep getting homework, work and other things mixed up. I end up procrastinating again by napping and going to unnecessary sites. I keep in forgetting to turn on the website blocker. Yes, I am a f-ing control freak. GYAAAH. D:

Am I becoming lazy? It's the 2nd week of school. No, please continue doing good. This is one last chance before becoming an immortal. Do your best and everyone will do the rest.

Is it the end of the internet for everybody?

T___T
Okay, enough with pron and on with the real world. The internet is doomed but not if we do something about it. Wikipedia and Reddit will be down for the whole day tomorrow in protest against SOPA/PIPA. Oh wait, a lot of sites will close down tomorrow. I don't even have to say how bad this is.

Why does this issue matter to us anyway? Most of the sites we visit are based on the US (including 4chan). When this thing gets passed on, we won't be able to access anything that we want. Music, movies, information, etc.

I'm not a person who understands the news very well. All of these information are condensed from research and from other reliable sources. If you want to know more about SOPA/PIPA, please check these sites:




Thanks to Remil and Pau for clearing everything out. Spread the word. SAVE THE INTERNET, SAVE THE WORLD.

I suddenly became depressed today.



This is one of the moments where I suddenly contemplate on things (including myself) and look back on my past that I've forgotten long ago. This is also one of the moments where I don't wanna do anything at all.

I don't know if this is from having a few hours of sleep (I couldn't sleep last night and had to wake up at around 6:30) or because of that critical thinking exam a lot of us took a while ago.

I don't even want to do important things right now. It's part of my routine to exercise three times a week and do my daily tasks.

Do I need rest?
Why is the sky blue? What is the meaning of life?
What am I doing here? Why do I exist?

IS THIS THE REAL LIFE OR IS THIS JUST FANTASY?

MOVIE REVIEW: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

Now, where is that switch?
The Good: The fight scenes and special effects were greatly done. The plot of the film was well-written and well-executed. There were a lot of hilarious scenes that at least did not dominate the entire film. Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law have very good chemistry in the film. Naomi Rapace was not a bad addition to the cast. The other characters were also great in the film.

The Bad: Some people might not understand what they're talking about, especially with Dr. Watson and Mycroft Holmes around. Some might think it did not live up to its predecessor because of some of the plot's flaws.

Overall: I really did enjoy this movie mostly because of the good parts I've mentioned above although there were some scenes got me bored. It also made me think that Sherlock might be in control of the entire case. Compared to the first one, I did not feel as observant as Sherlock ought to be after watching. I was also expecting Moriarty to be more menacing as he was in the first movie but at least he was portrayed as a good match for Sherlock. I do recommend this film for those who have seen the first or for those who are huge fans of Sherlock Holmes, detective stories, mystery novels, action films and bromance.

Score: 7.8/10

My Facebook account

I haven't told anyone that I re-opened my Facebook account for a group project in a major subject and for everything to be easier in org related stuff. I won't be posting that much though but I'll still continue to 'like' what ever you're posting that matters to me. x


Life Lessons from the Swimming Pool

Life is one big swimming pool.
I go swimming every Wednesday only if I have the luxury of time. In one of those Wednesdays, I thought about comparing life to swimming. While doing some laps, I checked if I was near the end of the pool. It turned out that I got disoriented from swimming. The lesson here is that when you are doing something in life, try not to expect so much from it. Perseverance is the key word here. All my life, I've been trying to be the best in whatever I'm doing. I compared myself to other people. It hurt me sometimes since I always thought of how some of them were able to do well because they have been doing it for years while I was just starting now. That kind of thinking led me to many troubles and hindrances in academic performances, friend relationships and life goals.

Now, this realization really helped me through what am I doing now. I have become more patient and persevering than before. I know that this has been taught to me ever since but it became more practical to me now. What other lessons could I learn from the swimming pool other than perseverance? What lies beneath the waters shall remain a mystery that I should soon uncover once I continue swimming.

Redesigned and reformatting my blog

Go have a look if you dare. As for reformatting, check previous post. x

Ideas for my blog

Here are some of the things that might go around the blog every week:

-Music/movie/food recommendations

-Random bullet your whole day (maybe a coin flip or a dice roll can decide this)

-Opinions on current events

-Less of personal stuff and more of informative ones

What do you think?

Back to reality (what am I doing?)

That was a worthwhile vacation. I don't get to see all of my friends as planned but at least I get to see them again tomorrow.

I took seven subjects (17 units) this term. I guess this is going to be a very hectic one. I only need 11 more units to be immortal and I need to pass Data Structures to be able to start with thesis. I don't think I'll be able have time for things that I've been doing in the past. Sadness.

I have deactivated my Facebook account. I don't know when will I put it back again. What am I doing? Facebook has been so useful to me since I can talk to people there easily but at the same time, it's very distracting. Plus, my family members try to snoop around and see my angsty posts. I dunno how they could see them even if I blocked most of them from seeing my posts. Dammit.  

I also blocked social networking on weekdays (or on times I have to study for exams). 

Lastly, I need to find a way to be able to balance my search for knowledge and creative process. I need to split time between studying and be able to press on with my writing/drawing.

That's all. Friends: see you all tomorrow! x
