Or hiding something. XD
That is, other than the fact that most, if not all, are corrupt, leeching/stealing money from the Filipino people.
Anyhow, nakapuna nanaman ako. Na-expose nanaman kasi ako sa mass media other than the internet. Yung mga commercials, on TV, ng mga senatoriables, parating mayroong message sa dulo na halos hindi mo mababasa. Actually, hindi ko mabasa (well I guess hindi lang ako) kasi bukod sa maliit na, napakabilis pa ipakita. Something like, "This ad has been paid by friends", or by some other people, kahit sino na lang, basta hindi yung candidate. Yung mga kantahan pota ang tagal tapos yung simpleng mensaheng iyon, na gustong-gusto kong mabasa, napakabilis nung pagkakapakita. Kung hindi ba naman sila mahusay ano? Bakit nga ba may ganoon pa? Para na rin kasing ang ibig sabihin nun ay, "Hindi ako ang nagbayad para sa napakamahal na commercial na ito". Bakit ba ayaw pa nilang ipakita kung sino man ang nagbayad? Takot o may tinatatago?
Bakit ka nga naman hindi magiging ganoon, ang makukuha mong sweldo para sa pagsisilbi sa senado, walang-wala para sa pangbayad sa isang commercial na napakaraming kantahan, sayawan o artista. May batas ba silang ipinatupad para sa benefit nung sponsor nila? Marami talaga akong naiisip na kung anu-anong tanong dahil lang sa hindi nila pagpapakita ng matagal dun sa kung sino man ang nagbayad para sa commercial nila.
Term of Office and Privileges, specifically ang salary, ng isang senador.
Mayroon din naman akong naaalalang senatoriable na naglagay ng pangalan niya, kaso nakalimutan ko na.
Isa pang kwento, narinig ko kay Arnold Clavio kaninang umaga sa radio nung taxi, ang mga tumatakbo for a position, pagkatapos ng eleksyon dalawa lang ang kahihinatnan, either mananalo or yayaman. Meron daw kasing someone running for some position na sinuportahan ng some people. Ang nangyari, nung binigyan na siya ng funds, tumigil na sa pangangapanya. Ang pinakamasaya sa lahat, yung funds na ibinigay sa kanya, ipagpapatayo raw niya ng business. Saan ka pa?
Vote wisely!!!

You know...
In the comedy show Premium Blend, there was a comedian named Dwayne Kenney. His act’s introduction was very catchy. Something like, "Yo... You know what I'm sayin'...?” His discussion after that was very funny and witty.
It's very funny that it made me realize that the expression, "You know...", can be very annoying. You know...
It breaks the thought. Why not just continue the fucking ellipsis and go on like knowing what you're saying.
It is for those who cannot put into words what they are thinking. You know...

Movie: The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
My eldest sister and I decided to watch the movie.
The movie goes to show that, well, working hard and having faith will eventually lead to something good.
The casting is good. Will Smith is, hands down, astonishing for portraying the role of Chris Gardner in such an exceptional way. From his previous movies, his talents for comedy and action are pretty good, but this is his only movie where he showcased his touch of drama. Really the 'sleeping in the public comfort room' scene is touching.
Jaden Christopher Smith, a real life son of Will Smith, starred side by side with his father as Chris Gardner's son who is also named Christopher. He, too, portrayed his role remarkably.
Everything about the movie is good or acceptable, well, except for the ending. My sister and I are annoyed because of its abruptness. My sister was saying, "So that's why it didn't win an Oscar's".
It is kind of weird but it seems that all movies that I've been watching lately are all good. This one's good, too. Really. It makes me think that I should have watched Epic Movie.

Kuya, kuya, nasaan na yung gamit ko?
Kakauwi ko lang dito sa Pasig galing Baguio. Umalis ako nang walang paalam sa boarding house. Puro parinig kasi yung mga tao roon simula nang nagbakasyon na yung ibang mga estudyante. Ako pinagtuunan ng pansin. Tapos na iyon, hehe.
Nakakainis kasi sobrang nagkamali yung kundoktor ng sinakyan kong bus, naibaba niya yung isa sa mga bagahe ko, isang travel bag, kasabay nung bagahe nung iba pang pasahero sa may Quezon Ave., ang mali niya, sa Cubao ako bababa. Ang sabi niya oo lang daw nang oo yung ibang mga pasaherong bumaba noong tinatanong niya kung kanila ba yung bagahe na naiwan. Honest system lang. So, ayun, wala akong kamalay-malay na wala na pala yung bagahe ko pagdating sa Cubao. Hanap ako nang hanap sa kanya, ang sagot lang niya ay wala. Ang husay 'di ba?
Kung nagkataon, nawala na yung mga damit ko at ang bulok na Mac. Buti na lang, mabait yung taxi driver na sumalubong sa akin at gustong-gusto akong ihatid. Noong pumunta kami, kasama yung kundoktor, sa pinagbabaan nung mga nakatangay sa gamit ko, naroon pa sila. Ang pinakanakakainis sa lahat, nakangiti at hila-hila pa nung isang lalaki yung travel bag ko. Ang sabi niya akala niya raw ay sa isang kuya niya yung hila niya. Ang husay talaga 'di ba? Kung sa kuya niya nga yun, sana tinanong niya. At kung alam nga nilang hindi kanila iyon, sana man lang ibinalik nila sa istasyon. Ang masama pa, pasakay na sila noong inabutan namin. Buti nga hindi ko na sila inaway. Pero kung nagkataon, talagang nawala na mga gamit ko.
Nabawi ko rin naman kaya medyo okay lang. Kung hindi ko nabawi, sisingilin ko yung kundoktor na mahusay. Hehe.

Game: Devil May Cry 3
I recently finished playing the PC version of the game. Took me about twelve hours in total.
Great game. The action, gore, graphics, sound, and other stuff makes me feel my adrenaline rushing as I pound the keyboard while playing.
The cinematics are fun to watch. When I saw that they are actually motion captured, it made me think higher of the game.
The story is pretty much okay. I was able to relate to it fast without any trouble. That is a good thing. The designers focused on the action part and made the story simple so that gamers will actually just play more and not analyze what is happening.
The graphics is good. It is smooth even if I played under a resolution of 640x480 with vertex shaders disabled.
The sounds are good. Hard rock music while playing made me want to smash the enemies on screen. Perfect combination.
The problem with the game is that it isn't keyboard-user friendly because some of the actions require certain button combinations in order to be executed. The game engine doesn't recognize three buttons pressed at a time, so there were many moves that I wasn't able to perform.
Adding to the disappointing list of the game are the puzzles. They are ridiculously very easy to solve. I mean, come on, this game is designed for "grown ups", why the hell are the puzzles too easy?
This is actually the first from the series that I have played. I'm not planning to play the first and second installations though.
I replayed it and finished all modes for Dante except Heaven or Hell since it is annoying. I didn't know that the Dante Must Die difficulty is really hard. So it took me time to finish it.
Here is the save file.
I can't wait for Devil May Cry 4 and the anime. I'm planning to buy an Xbox 360, not a PS3 since it is too expensive, just for that game. It's also possible to wait for the PC version but I kind of want to play it on a console.

Ano na nga ba mga pinaggagagawa ko
Sa ngayon, tapos naman na lahat ng kailangan gawin sa college life ko. Hindi ko na rin masyado napansin eh. Pagkatapos ng thesis defense sobrang naging abala ako sa acads. Siyempre yung tinutukan ko yung combinatorics dahil dun sa 29% na exam. Dahil doon, nakabawi ako ng malaki sa finals, 93.5% ang nakuha ko. Kinailangan eh. Yun lang talaga yung determinant ng graduation. Yung ibang subject kasi maganda naman standing ko kaya hindi na naging problema.
Ano pa nga ba? Ah, nanood kami ng The Number 23. Masaya naman yung kwento, tapos yung twist astig din. Ang galing pa rin umarte ni Jim Carrey.
Nakuha ko na rin yung grad pic ko, parang ngang hindi ako eh. Napakaputi. Sobra yung pagkaka-edit.
Kumuha rin ako ng JITSE or PhilNITS, Philippine National IT Standards. Japanese certification exam daw, in English. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit dapat Japanese eh, basta alam ko libre kaya kumuha nalang ako. Ok naman yata yung performance ko, di ko lang sure kung papasa ako. In two weeks time pa raw lalabas yung results.
Sa ngayon, bum mode ulit. Walang kailangang gawin. Titignan ko mamaya kung itutuloy ko pa yung development nung website. Nood muna ako ng Maging Sino Ka Man, hindi ko na napanood eh.
Hindi ko pa alam kung kailan ko gusto umuwi sa bahay namin, mainit kasi sa Maynila lalo ngayong panahon ng tag-init, dito muna ko at magpapalamig.
Sa April 20 pa yung graduation. Ang tagal pa. Wala pa pala akong isusuot. Gusto kasi nila barong, para formal. May practice pa sa April 19, compulsory ang attendance.
Yung lang naman, itong summer wala naman responsibilidad na binigay sakin. Pahinga nalang muna ako siguro, nood nood, laro laro. Sarap.
