National Heroes Day out

It's National Heroes day here in the Philippines. Finally a holiday that landed on a weekday. It's already afternoon and gf and i were planning to go out. And i was faced with a decision to bring a car or not. I literally went back and forth on the road thinking of bringing a car or not. My mind was in a conflict. After 5 or 6 times of patrolling the street i finally decided to bring the car coz this maybe the only time i can bring it before the coming week since my brother is already coming home today. 

I got to drive to downtown and park almost perfectly. I finally got to practice well. I was on thin ice when i accidentally parked parallel reversely. It's a good thing we were already going at that time. Close one. Then after all that, we ended up at the mall along with our little brat with us. As we were strolling in the mall, I saw one weird and one awesome thing. And here they are below.

We were cruisin' at Penshoppe when i saw this shirt and immediately told girlfriend that she should buy this shirt. I would have immediately obliged the thought but i didn't have enough money then. This just proves a point. If you are awesome, you are a pinay or pinoy. So to speak. Since this is a woman's shirt, pinay. Awesome. And definitely a true story. 

At first i thought there was nothing wrong with this. It got me thinking, even manananggals have mannequins. Wow. That's a first. Even a legendary creature has clothes for them. Awesome. What's next? XS for duwendes?

Definitely a normal day. But hey, at least there was some weird excitement.

Legendary night of the Jimny

Okay so you're probably wondering why i called last night legendary. It's because my father finally gave me permission to bring our car, a Suzuki Jimny, on my own. I was kinda surprised that he didn't give me 20 questions first. He just said, "park it well!", then that was it. I was off to get girlfriend and keep rollin'. At first i was a bit nervous to drive it coz my father gave me this big responsibility to drive my brother's car who is out of town with Ate Jan and the in-laws. But in the long run, i kinda enjoyed it. Even if i drove slow, i drove sure. 


At least i got to practice in it. Including today. Which by the way only lasted a few hours. But hey. At least i'm not nervous anymore.

The only picture of me driving with girlfriend by the mall. Awesome.

10 Top Bad Asses in Suits

This idea just popped in my head in an instant. Since suits are cool, I made this list of badass guys in suits in the film, video game and TV industry. All included here contain the whole package. The 3 G's.  Meaning guns, girls and glory. This is just my own idea and if there is any list similar to this, it is just a coincidence. Spare me from bad criticism coz this is what the universe told me to do. The list is ranked from 10th to the 1st. Details are in every description with a picture. Enjoy.

10- Chuck Bass (Gossip Girl)

Really? Chuck Bass??

- Okay so you're probably wondering. Why would an awesome list of Bad-asses in suits include a character from a chick series? It's because he IS a bad-ass. I've only seen 2 episodes of Gossip Girl in my entire life but it was enough to know who Chuck Bass is. Aside from his overconfident swagger, creepy stare and bad-ass arrogance, he always manages to get what he wants by scheming with his friends, using his money to get whatever he wants and after all that, he still has good friends and still manages to get not just a girl, but the leading lady of the series. Plus he always has his Bro/Wingman, Nate's back whenever he's down. And of course, he is wearing a suit most of the time in the whole 3 seasons of Gossip Girl. 

Dude, come on, Gossip Girl?? 

- Even though he may be branded as part of a chick series, you would learn to appreciate Mr. Bass once you've seen at least a few episodes of GG. He even has the guts to say "I've got lots of money..I'm Chuck Bass.." when he's being mugged. There's no harm in trying. True story.

9 - 47 (Hitman)

Why on the list?
- Let's face it, this guy is one bad-ass you wouldn't want to mess with. He's a contract killer that will do anything he finds interesting as long as he gets paid. His arsenal of weapons to kill ranges from fiber wires to RPG's. He'll infiltrate a target by killing his way through silently and disguising himself as he goes on. I personally thought Jason Statham would get the role of the movie version of this but Timothy Olyphaunt wasn't bad. The movie wasn't really bad either. Just a few flaws from the games original storyline and characters. Remorseless and deadly, this guy would even kill a Yakuza boss' son just so he would show up at the funeral so 47 can make his move.What do you expect from a guy who has a number for a name? 

8 - G-man (Half-life)

Why on the list?
This mysterious figure haunts the halls of Black Mesa and the streets of City 17 in both Half-Life 1 and 2. No one knows who or what exactly is the G-man's role in the game which also is the reason why he is so cool. And downright creepy. He'll suddenly appear out of nowhere and vanish through corridors with no possible exit. He'll make you remember all those horror Japanese films. Though not exactly like Alma Wade in the game F.E.A.R., he's as creepy as it gets. Appearing in your head or in places that are impossible to reach and escaping through portals that come out of nowhere. That's just awesome. I don't know what'll i think if i finally knew what his purpose and his so called "employers" he babbles about are in the game. Oh and yeah, he wears a suit.


Half-what? And Alma who?
- For those who are completely blind as to what i was mentioning earlier, Half-Life is a first person shooter game developed by Valve and is the sole basis for various mods such as the popular Counter-Strike, Team Fortress, etc. The G-man plays a prominent role in the game as a mysterious figure that supposedly is the root of all evil but is not clearly stated in the game. As to Alma Wade, which i mentioned earlier is the main antagonist in the game F.E.A.R. She's a creepy ghost girl that gives you a heart attack while playing the game as she is inspired by Japanese horror films such as Ring. 


7 - James Bond (Daniel Craig) 

Why on the list?
- Dude, come on, it's James Bond. In a whole new rugged blond look. I know, the James Bond's before all wore suits but what separates Daniel Craig's Bond is that he's unique. He isn't the typical English pretty boy with a clean face. In fact, he looks scary. And damn good at poker too. In his second movie as James Bond, Quantum of Solace, he became more bad-ass as revenge fueled him. But despite of that, he still manages to get laid. Twice. Awesome. I salute almost all of the previous Bronds in the past. But no one is as bad-assed as this one.

6 - Raylan Givens (Justified)
Why on the list?
- This hard-boiled cop is one you never want to mess with. Did i say that earlier? Sorry. Well. Moving on. Sheriff Givens goes Punisher-style justice on crooks and always finds a reason for it to be "justified" or as he says, "..it's justified." Anyone who messes with this fella is surely gonna get hurt. I don't really watch the series but he looks really catchy. He is more like the next one on the list but he's more all out and doesn't boast much. And of course, his hat works. Works with the suit too. 
Did you know?
- Timothy Olyphant, the dude who plays Givens and also the one who played 47 in the game to movie Hitman (wow two characters on the same list? awesome!), was supposed to be working on a sequel for the movie but was delayed until further notice due to the TV series Justified. 


5 - Horatio Caine (CSI: Miami)

Why on the list?
- Now this particular bad-ass is one of a kind. Others that are similar to him followed HIM. Not the other way around. Caine has the most catch phrases in the CSI franchise and nobody even remembers what the lines were. They just remember that those lines were awesome. And those lines were immediately followed by the "yeaaaaaaaaaahh" on the opening theme song by The Who. His brand of justice is shoot first, ask later. Most of the crooks died by his hand just because they were naughty. And he's a really good shot. Whenever he shoots, it's either on the forehead or near the heart. To add on his awesomeness, who else can get out from Brazil and shoot all the bad guys coming from the gate, cars and get back to Miami on the next day all by himself? Who does that? I know- Good TV. True story.


4 - Frank Martin (Transporter)

Why on the list?
- Now why wouldn't the best driver in the world be in this list? Aside from that, he has cool karate moves and always manages to get his shirt torn up. The best thing about this driver is that he doesn't only drive cars, he drives anything. From Jetskis to whatever he can find. Too bad he only got to nail one girl in all 3 movies. Doing most of his stunts and with fight scenes coordinated by Jackie Chan's trainer, this is one awesome bad-ass. The best thing about Frank - he always has a spare suit in the back of his car. Cool.
Maybe he was named after old blue eyes.
- Jason Statham played in 2 other movies where he was named Frank and was a driver. In the Italian Job and in Death Race where he was playing a dude playing another dude named Frank. Awesome.


3 - Smith (The Matrix)

Why on the list?
- Smith, for me, is one of the best movie villains of all time. From a struggling agent in the first Matrix movie, he became self-aware and got tired of it and wanted out. For a program, he seemed to be human at most times. When Neo became the one, he was destroyed only to come back to be a "new man, so to speak", or free as he said. Free from the limitations of the Matrix and being an agent. He became an exile with an extraordinary ability. He was able to copy himself or overwrite his code to other programs or anyone jacked in the Matrix. When he got everyone, he faced Neo and what seemed to be so mysterious and unfortunate for him, he was destroyed by Neo when he copied him. Speak up Wachowski Bros! That ending left us hanging. This dude is like a combo of Horatio Caine and the G-man. He speaks arrogantly and really hangs out with all his bros wherever he goes. He makes his own bros. Awesome. 


2- Barney Stinson (How I Met Your Mother)

Dude, come on, it's Barney.
- Okay so your probably wondering why the best bro and most awesome in a suit landed on the number 2 spot. It's because i'm not biased. Barney won't mind because he's so awesome that he'd give away the no. 1 spot for his bro. As it is stated in the Bro Code article 1- Bros before ho's. If you haven't seen Barney in action, well that's not awesome. He's got 3 books to explain just how awesome he is. He always has Ted's back. No other bro will go to further heights just to get his bro and himself laid. But there are limitations to it. Either way, he still gets it. Plus he gets Robin in the end. Or so i'm hoping. Need i say more?


1- Joker (The Dark Knight)

So why number one?
 - So it comes down to this. Okay so maybe he's wearing a coat. But as Salvatore Maroni said during their secret meeting about a guy in a "cheap purple suit and make-up" will have enough reason that he is in a suit. Moving on! He is number one because this guy is the baddest bad-ass of all. He's one of the most ruthless villains ever made. And Heath Ledger's Joker is, for me, the best portrayal of the character from the comics. Although not accurately loyal to the comic, his origin in the Dark Knight is unknown. He tells different stories at different points of the movie about his origin which just shows his twisted, wicked side of a mind of a psycho. Although not totally insane, he will show you at the end just how pathetic you are and always has a way of getting back at his enemies even at the face of capture. And laughs hard about it without remorse. The great deal is that this Joker is unique. Not really the prettiest character to look at, but the best talker and speaker. His belief that he cannot exist without Batman is truly strong. Believing that the bad cannot live without the good. And that he completes him. That kinda sounds gay but it's awesome. The best part about him is that he never forgets to smile. It's really sad that Heath Ledger had to die at the point that made his career bloom because of the Joker. Even up to date, The Dark Knight is still the best movie i've seen. If it hadn't been because of the Joker, I would forget everything about that movie.


* Okay bros and chicks, i'll leave you with that. I tried to think of any number 11 on the list i couldn't think of any. I even found it hard to complete this list. Let alone add another one. If you have any suggestions i'll be glad. Just leave a comment! Peace out hombres.

If we had this at home, my mom will never leave her room.

I was watching inside edition this morning on the etc channel when they featured a story about a guinea pig the size of a German Shepard. Apparently this monster rodent is called a Capybara, the largest living species of rodent in the world. It's okay to have rodents as pets such as a hamster and guinea pig. But one that is big enough to eat your 2 year old son is just kinda creepy. And scary. Not that i oppose this kind of species but i just find it odd to find a big hamster-like thing moving around the house snooping around for stuff to eat. If we had one here, my mom would probably not leave her room our go out as much as possible from the house.

Even i think it's pretty scary. The picture above portrays one pet owner of the Capybara. As you can see by its size, this one is probably about 4 feet long. According to Wikipedia, they weigh up to 145 pounds for females and 135 for males (Yes, the females are heavier). The largest ever recorded weighed up to 232 pounds. That's twice my weight! And it's a rodent!


Though it would be pretty cool to have this as a pet. Then again, my pet hamster didn't even last 3 weeks. Thank God it's a herbivore. For a meat-eating monster sized rodent like that is just pretty scary. But to one that is very loyal to you? One word. AWESOME.

Covers and Origs

Hey. Here are some links of songs i uploaded at YouTube of our original songs. They aren't much but i hope they kick ass. At least we got more than a 100 hits. That's already something. To me anyway. Music and lyrics were composed by ourselves and any similarity is just a coincidence. Trust me.

Spam or not?

A lot of mail received today aren't just mail, they come with surprises. I just received a mail containing a link to pharmaceutical website featuring viagra and a lot of antibiotics. Where'd that come from? Well i actually know. It "supposedly" came from a friend of mine with a blogger of his own. The link even contained a widely accepted term today which would make you look. I linked it here:

http://lian_strider.bloggerz.biz/2008/09/erection.html

It's kinda useless to send all this crap if you're not buying. Then again it could've been a virus or trojan of some sort secretly entering my computer deactivating the msconfig and all that shit. But hey, i got lucky.

Moving on, I don't get it why my facebook alerts still appear on my inbox and not in my spam folder anymore. I wish all these links and useless junk should end up in my spam folder so i don't have the trouble of deleting them. And i don't accidentally open a virus. Friendly warning to all: if you don't know what you are opening, don't open it at all. unless you are using YM premium which displays a preview. Which i am also sure creates a bit of an opening. Unless your firewall is really powerful when it comes to trojans and other well known or unknown viruses.

Well that's it. I just wanted to blog about something today. I can't wait to get out again so i can blog about something interesting and you guys would be entertained. That would be awesome.

Cramming? I don't know.

Well tomorrow will finally be the climax of our first month training. Exams. Why does it always have to be so hard at the end? And as the post title suggests, i think i'm cramming. I haven't studied much. Meaning i haven't even gone so far as to study everything. And i can't study now coz it won't go in. And yet here i am. Blogging about how i feel about tomorrow's exams. Nothing better to do. I even just put my notes on my phone so i don't have to bring anything tomorrow. Well, except my phone of course. And my umbrella. 

What i'm really looking forward to tomorrow is the night out after. It's been a while since i had a drink. And my no-gooder batch mates had to go out without me and my bro on a Friday night. Well, it was their loss. Their night could've been awesome. 

I hope tomorrow's exams turn out well. I have to have money so i can make myself and other people happy. I wanna buy stuff from the money i worked hard for this time. Good luck to us. If i get the job, it's gonna be LEGEN- wait for it - DARY.
