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?

I love this software

We were required to use Blender for our 3DMODEL elective course. I am enjoying it so much. If I could teach you guys, let's make an animated film together.

WHAT IS THAAAAT? .___.

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.
