It was...okay?

When one says summer, the first thing that comes to mind is spending all day at a beach somewhere far away from home. That's exactly what happened today, April 24 of this year's summer. Dad had an office outing to a beach somewhere in Batangas. He tagged Gab and I along as it was for free anyway. Like any other outing, we had to wake up super early, as in 3:30am early. We left the house at 4:30am, I think. It was a little ironic that my bro brought more stuff than I did. I only needed the PSP, swim wear, sun block and food. Yes, I didn't bring a camera. You may be thinking what a wasted opportunity this was not to take pictures of the beach. It was. And my mom is to blame for that. She was being a paranoid again with the out-of-this-world worries. Anyway, we rode a rented bus to the resort. The inside was freezing cold. And since my dad told me that it was not a good idea to bring a jacket, or even wear shoes, I didn't. Which resulted to my precious feet get chilled to subzero temperature. 3 hours-ish later, we arrived at our destination, a resort named Laiya blah blah. I don't remember the whole name. LOL. I got to the water as soon as I could. Unfortunately, the beach felt weird. The sand wasn't fine, and there's a line where the ground just turns into very soft mud. Plus, there were minimal waves. Long story short, this beach sucked ass. I like the beachside pool better. (It was conveniently hot. I wish that was because of the sun's heat, and not the other factor........) Depending on where my bro wanted to go, I switched from pool to beach, beach to pool. I was his only guardian, after all. Dad was with the other Insular Life employees, having fun. It was their outing, after all. Being Gab's care taker, I had to release my toy loving child inside of me. My lil bro had brought a lot of toys, mostly military stuff. He tried to recreate what he saw in an episode of The Pacific, which I thought was cool, and cute at the same time. haha. Fast forward to 4:00pm when we had to get prepped up for merienda and the trip back home. By this time, I had a lot of sand on where man does not like sand on. We ate a plate of Spaghetti for snack time and then boarded Bus #6 again. It took longer going home because of traffic. Then... I got home... I can't say if this was a great day or not. All I can say is that this was no bore for sure. :)

Bohemian Rhapsody by QUEEN

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy (Poor boy)
I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Little high, little low
Any way the wind blows
Doesn't really matter to me, to me

Mama just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye, ev'rybody
I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh (Anywhere the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening
(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro
Magnifico
I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Sparing his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
Let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go
Let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go
Let me go (Will not let you go)
Let me go (Will not let you go (Never, never, never, never))
Let me go, o, o, o, o
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama Mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me

Any way the wind blows

Man, I love this song. Probably the best song ever written. If you haven't heard it yet, please do. :)

We are LIVE!!!!!!

Today I felt like I wanted to achieve something. And one of the best ways to feel like you've achieved something is to be honored with a trophy. As hard as that may sound, getting trophies is just a piece of cake for me. All I need to do is to turn on the television. I'm serious. Achieving PlayStation trophies, that is. HAHA. Thought I was a bit too cocky there weren't you?

Okay, getting them ain't as easy as I described. There are some missions that are hard, and some that are as easy as reaching a certain level of the game. I decided to go for UFC '09 trophies today, and got a lot. But one of those trophies took a lot of effort, the one where I have to beat an opponent in less than 20 seconds. That's easier said than done. I couldn't do it alone so I asked for Steven's help. We used the strongest fighters out there, like Rampage, Anderson, Rashad. We even picked the weakest opponents but still no luck. Thankfully, we got the "That was easy!" trophy after 30+ tries with GSP's high kick. Heck yeah! Another summer memory. :)

glee!

I saw Glee last night on its 10pm time slot on ETC, and was blown away as usual. Everything I loved from the first season is still there. Nothing much has changed, except parts the storyline of course. Rachel is still naive, Finn still absent-minded, Will still..err..Will(?), Emma still weird, and of course, Sue is just as annoying as she was last season. Maybe even more. Uh oh. But I still am disappointed on not seeing Quinn so much. Oh well. I can't wait to see more of this show. :D

On the Silva-Maia fight...

All month I've been waiting for this fight to happen. There were other great match-ups in the card too but finally seeing THE Anderson Silva in action just made me jump for joy. This guy has an unorthodox but effective style, he has an incredible amount of talent, and undoubtedly one of the best in the business. He did a lot of great things inside the octagon, and he's the type of fighter that makes your jaw drop when you see him do his thing.

But tonight he was just plain boring, and I have to admit it, he sucked.A little recap of the match: During the first two rounds, Silva showcased the skills that we all knew and loved. I laughed so hard when he started doing the dance on his opponent. And on the 2nd round, Silva went overboard with the showboating by taunting Maia disrespectfully. It was as if Silva was frustrated that Maia wasn't putting up a good fight. Then come the 3rd round, the fight turned incredibly lame and boring. Silva was just running away and avoiding contact, with occasional jabs to Maia. Now, its looked like Maia was the one getting frustrated. Silva sticked to this game plan so much that on the last minute of the fight, the referee demanded some action from Silva or else. But Silva didn't listen. And it all was left in the hands of the judges, who not surprisingly decided Silva to be the winner.

This made a lot of people angry and disappointed. They complained about not getting their money's worth,  which was about $40, I think.  Even the president of the UFC himself, Dana White had his share a complaints. He called this an embarrassment to the UFC and the sport all in all. Silva could've finished the match on the 1st or 2nd round is what everyone said. I, too, am disappointed by this incident. I hope this doesn't happen ever again. And to Silva, you just lost a fan.

How NOT to get bored this summer

Ladies and gentlemen, the apocalypse is upon us! Yes, you heard me right, a volatile force is threatening our very existence. "Well, what the hell is this force? Are you crazy?" I heard you ask. People, this evil that I am talking about is lurking behind our backs, surreptitiously claiming multiple victims day by day. Yup, I am talking about this things we call boredom. It is my duty to teach you how to combat this monstrosity before we fall victim to it's hypnotizing gaze, and turn we into a brain-dead society, whose only means of communicating is by uttering the words "I'm bored" all day.

Nah, I was just messing with you with the apocalypse things LOL. But I really think boredom is a bad thing for us, especially now that it's summer time. Everyone of us has the right to live these days of no school to the fullest. How? Think out of the box. Take Phineas and Ferb for example.They spend everyday of their summer doing something. I bet they don't even know what boredom means. Instead of easily declaring your boredom, follow their "I know what we're gonna do today" attitude. You may not be able to build a roller coaster or paint a continent, but they're cartoons. Go easy on yourself. Instead, why don't you start learning how to play the guitar? play an online game? draw? talk to someone you don't usually talk to? Try every activity you can think of and who knows, you might discover a new talent/hobby. If all else fails, why not visit you friend's house far away from there by walking? It's worth a try. Just bring money in case you get too exhausted.

Well, these are my tips. Just remember, you must always tell yourself " I have to do something". Another thing, remember that the sky is the limit. Be creative. Okay, bye now. I don't know about you, but I'm playing this online game, Neosteam now. :D

Swooooooosh

As you can see from the title, I have no idea what to write today. I had no idea what to write the whole freakin' week. It was so frustrating knowing that your blog is building up dust. But now that I'm doing this, might as well see what I've got.
Hmm, maybe I'll write about today. *looks back at today's events...* I woke up at 4am because of this noise, it turned out my Mom was using the PC. At 4am. Usually, We're the ones (Gab and I) getting up early just for the computer. Seeing my Mom do this, I was quite disturbed. She wasn't in it for business or emergency, she was just there Facebook-ing away. A big WTH. My mom continued to use this PC up to 6pm, with a few occurrences where it was Gab and Dad's turn. Not wanting to disappoint anyone I decided to do something else. I tried drawing, (I got frustrated 'cause I didn't draw as I'd expected) texting, (I eventually ran out of load), playing my PS2, (Didn't go my way too. I had nothing to play. I tried to play Max Payne 2 but died shortly, and respawning right from the very beginning of the game, as I forgot to save from checkpoint to checkpoint) play the guitar, (Note that both my guitars are broken) listening to the radio (It didn't last long. There was nothing good on air) and finally, I watched TV. This is where I stayed long, because of the Ultimate Fighter marathon on the Balls channel. I spent my whole afternoon lying down the couch and watching men trash talk each other.
Then came the darkness, my parents went to SM with Gab for groceries. I decided to stay home and write this post. Ta-da! :D

Ughhhhh....

I can't think of anything to write as of now... :(
