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.

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.
