Life was too hectic for me that I wasnt able to follow up on my previous promise to get back to this blog. But worry no more! I just had an idea! I looked into my drafts and saw I gathered a lot of ideas through the years but didnt manage to either finish or publish them. So I'm going to share some of them here today!<br>

I've sent this to our University Confessions page in Facebook and was surprisingly popular for a short time. <span style="font-family: "";">I'm obviously blowing my anonymity here, but hey, I've graduated! HAHAHA</span><br>
<span style="font-family: "";"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: "";">You'd be surprised how lots of people inside the campus are actually walking stereotypes, and it's fun to identify those kinds of people that you met once in a while in your student life. </span><br>
<span style="font-family: "";">Or maybe you are one of them at some point?</span><br>

It was one of a busy week for me after pictures of the concert-date got out (Thanks Cold play!) and more papapics got published after a few hours. The last time I was excited for a reel to real life Korean power couple was Yoo In Na and Ji Hyun Woo which we all know ended in a split and I was devastated.<br>
<br>
<br>
After binge-watching Weighlifting Fairy and Cheese in the Trap earlier this year, I was already familiar with the two and have done a mini research on their projects together. Quite surprised at what I discovered that time: They were together <i>a lot</i>. They debuted almost the same time and became partners in many CMs which is unique if you actually think about it. It's no wonder they're close to begin with.<br>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Izuku Midoriya was just a regular middle school student in a world where people with superpowers known as "Quirks" are the norm. However, he dreams of one day becoming a Hero, despite being bullied by his classmates for not having a Quirk. After being the only one to try and save his childhood friend, Katsuki, from a Villain , All Might, the world's greatest Hero, bestows upon him his own quirk, "One For All". The story follows Izuku's entrance into Yūei High School, a school that cultivates the next generation of Heroes [1]</blockquote>
This manga is so good. So. Damn. Good. Never expected to like this so much. It's everytime Midoriya achieves something, you just want to clap for him and give a standing ovation. Thus I was so happy to see it becoming popular and the sales are all-time high.<br />
<br />
Kōhei Horikoshi's art is quite impressive too. In Boku no Hero, he was able to mix both Japanese and Western artstyles effectively. However it should be noted that the guy's past works didn't achieve huge commercial success like what Boku no Hero is currently enjoying (Ōmagadoki Zoo only had 5 volumes and Sensei no Bulge only got 2) and his mangas were consistently beautiful in terms of visuals. I guess that since Horikoshi has no problems in the art department, his main focus now is for him to keep up Midoriya's adventures interesting enough to last a longer time than expected.wellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02501101457140020538noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650182624762495884.post-38904385222101918002014-12-11T20:33:00.002-08:002015-01-12T23:16:13.442-08:00What the Hell Happened to My 2014 New Year's Resolutions?<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">

I was<i> horrified</i> since I completely forgot it exist and now 2014 is drawing to a close and I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I DID WITH MY LIFE THIS YEAR. Was I alright? Was I productive? Existentialism?

After a few weeks of haitus, here I am once again offering you my faithful readers, a new installment to the Games You Don't Want to Play series. The following rituals are not as hardcore as the ones mentioned in the past posts <i>but</i> I still hope you guys would still heed the warnings I wrote on top (come on guys, recognize its existence! I even wrote it in<i> red</i>). Anyway, enjoy!<br>

The horrible thing is when these blogs are actually made of quality posts and juicy discussions that can no longer be read because the awesome page transformed into the dreaded 404.<br>
<br>
One of those blogs is <a href="http://uso-ippai.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">uso-ippai</a> of tumblr who had been translating Japanese entertainment industry gossips for the sake of the English-speaking online audience. It only lasted for months though and the tumblr blog is now abandoned. Hell even <a href="http://majide2ch.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Majide </a>had stopped updating huhubells. Good thing we still have Minus Kakugo and the other blogs...<br>
<br>
So now I'll just share to you a blogpost by uso-ippai (that was originally split into two parts) that looks back on Johnny Kitagawa's past scandals, just for discussion/knowledge purposes, especially for those who doesn't have tumblrs.<br>

It involves a book of short stories. It was beautiful afternoon and I decided to go to the library during recess. A thin children's book caught my eye:<br />

I began reading the stories within it, when suddenly I came upon a story titles "The Green Ribbon" Hmmm sounds cool so I read it. Boy, it was one of the worse readings I had, and remember that I was around seven at that time.<br />

Now it's 2014, Arashi is already in their 30's and I've graduated from the university. Seeing all the updates on their Blast in Hawaii concert, this sums up what I feel:<br>

HAHAHA! Seriously, I'm so jelly right now, but I'm so fucking happy for the boys that any negative emotions is washed away by the great love and support from all Arashi fans worldwide. Now as a celebration for Arashi's 15th anniversary in the enetertainment industry, I'll be sharing some of their rare photos!</div>

I'M BACK! Sort of... I never knew replacing a laptop's motherboard could be so damn expensive, thus I apologize to all my readers out there, I'm currently broke and busy so my blogging presence is almost non-existent. However, I know some of you guys are waiting for a new post or something, so here I am publishing the newest installment of the Games You Don't Want to Play series! Hope you'll enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed doing the research:<br>

A certain tweet is circulating around twitter the past week. I don't know if it's true or what but it holds a juicy information for all Jun Matsumoto x Mao Inoue fans out there:<br />
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">

<br />
English Translation:<i> </i>"The house my kohai (junior coworker/student) used to live in is near MatsuJun's parents' place, and he was saying that every year around New Year's Eve, MatsuJun comes home with Mao Inoue."<br />
<i><br /></i>
I dug around OP's Twitter page and she doesnt seem to be an Arashi fangirl, which makes the tweet <i>kinda</i> believable. Still enjoyed hearing this tidbit though nyahaha<br />

However I was told that patching up my Acer not only would take them a long time to but it would be quite expensive (in my point of view) too.<br />
<br />
Basically that means I'll be absent for a few weeks. I will be back as soon as those intelligent humans succeed in saving my darling and me having enough funds to ransom it when that day comes.<br />
<br />
For now, I'll be busy with getting myself out of unemployment and other activities where the word 'internet' is not mentioned.

<br />
Last January, this year, Warner Bros had announced that 30-year-old Jesse Eisenberg had been chosen to act out the role of Lex Luthor in the highly anticipated ‘Batman vs. Superman’ movie. Not surprisingly, this fueled a huge negative reception. After the commotion with Ben Affleck being chosen as Batman last year, this sure is another bad publicity for the film.<br />
<br />
This reminded me of another DC film adaptation way back in 2008 where a certain actor was "mistakenly" chosen to act a certain iconic role:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVZYqsvXu3fCOZtPLItrzpAJ29I2GNBPlXE-oyp9v28zt9nl-8SF_tzc786I1oZIR0nkPslUsNTDXnpHIBluvgaL5Lo397gpJr2M5RgJCam938n7zGvpWwACnMHgLbu5sZjhZzb23Aph0/s1600/Heath+Ledger+Casting+Joker+Batman.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVZYqsvXu3fCOZtPLItrzpAJ29I2GNBPlXE-oyp9v28zt9nl-8SF_tzc786I1oZIR0nkPslUsNTDXnpHIBluvgaL5Lo397gpJr2M5RgJCam938n7zGvpWwACnMHgLbu5sZjhZzb23Aph0/s1600/Heath+Ledger+Casting+Joker+Batman.png" /></a></div>
<br />
But compared to the reactions to Eisenberg and Ben Affleck's casting, Ledger's was still kinda tame. Because despite the negative reactions to the new Joker, at least Ledger had the advantage of being respected for his past films and the social media during that time is still not as popular as it is now. To be fair, Affleck has some catching up to do after the Daredevil flop and how could the young Eisenberg play a smug, charismatic, egotistical millionaire?<i> </i><br />
<i><br /></i>

<i>Oh wait</i></div>
<br />
What I'm saying is, people should calm their tits when it comes to screaming murder against casting decisions made by producers and directors who are too busy to hear your "ideas" anyway. Especially those who are in the extremes, the ones who seriously act as if they know exactly how everything would turn out (yes whether it's negative or positive) when the film isnt even made yet. Predictions are nice but being a loud exaggerated shit is annoying.<br />
<br />
I mean, there's nothing wrong with having calm open-minded discussions, right?. It just annoys me that there are those who loudly comment as if their opinions came straight out of the bible. Wait until the movie comes out <i><b>then</b></i> start releasing your inner demons.wellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02501101457140020538noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650182624762495884.post-22921112796328309702014-06-02T01:43:00.001-07:002014-06-03T19:23:20.139-07:00Cosplay is For Everybody!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Most cosplayers frown upon half-hearted costumes found in cons and competitions. It is understandable since it's frustrating to see "easy" made cosplays while others were busy building their characters using expensive materials and complicated designs. However there comes a time when you just have to push all seriousness away and have silly fun once in a while, and one of the best channels to be carefree from all other rules is the internet.<br>
<br>
Months ago, pictures of hilariously resourceful cosplays have been going around blogs and forums. From imitating Goku's golden hair via bananas, to an <i>amazing</i> recreation of the Frozen's Elsa, the "cosplayer" managed to succesfully made everyone smile at simple brilliance of it all, since he was using basically anything an average guy could find around the house. The man behind the powdered faces was no other than the Thai moderator of the Facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Lowcostcosplay" target="_blank">Lowcost Cosplay</a> Anucha "Cha" Saengchart. His page had grown to more than 150,000 likes. Not only does it showcase his creations, but you could now also see other resourceful contributions from fans.<br>

This means that they will be using the National Olympic Stadium for the opening and closing ceremonies as well. Not surprising a large budget of $1 billion is created for the sole purpose of upgrading it alone. The Olympic Stadium a.k.a. Kokuritsu Kyogijo, will be demolished by 2015 and is set to for a five-year renovation period. To herald the stadium's impending haitus an official ‘Sayonara Kokuritsu’ campaign had been made that both reminisce the historical events that took place in Kokuritsu but to also promote Japanese culture to the rest of the world.<br />
<br />
There's some recent news however. Apparently, before demolishing the entire stadium, it has to be dismantled first and guess what, they're for sale!<br />

The lawn, the VIP seats. the reporter's seats and even <i>20 pieces of fucking manholes</i>. This sounds really hilarious at first, but to fair, Kokuritsu had its share of memorable events. I'd like a seat too since I've never been to an Arashi concert before (haha joke!) Manholes are just weird though. I wonder who would ever buy those.

Derived from one of the most memorable Chinese wuxia (a genre focusing on the adventures of martial artists) novels, The Return of the Condor Heroes (ROTCH) had been successfully adapted to screen throughout the years, making it one of China's best known love stories. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Its protagonists, the lovers Yang Guo and Xiaolongn has long since become iconic characters in the entertainment industry. Most especially, Xiaolongn, which literally means The Little Dragon Maiden. That girl is deemed as the most beautiful in the Chinese wuxia universe. With<i> "skin as white as snow, beautiful and elegant beyond convention and cannot be underestimated, but appears cold and indifferent"</i>, it is not surprising that actresses who have played her were all pretty badass gals. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now because of my admiration for ROTCH and <span style="font-family: '';">Xiaolongn in particular</span>, I made this simple infographic showing all the popular adaptation of the wuxia novel and their respective lead actresses who have played The Little Dragon Maiden:</div>

The famous idol group AKB48 is known for their handshake events where fans could have the change to interact with their favorite idol. Due to the popularity of these events, inspections of baggage is almost always overlooked, thus it isn't thoroughly impossible that a man could smuggle a dangerous weapon inside the venue.<br />

I was alone at first but soon met my friends who were also assigned in the same school. The exam lasted the whole morning so by the time we were dismissed, I am already very hungry and absolutely stopped caring whether I passed or not. Now, less then two months from the exam, <b>I am surprised to found out that the results are out early* and that I passed!</b> For a first-time taker, it's fabulous and certainly made mah mother proud!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm so darn happy! Some people say that it's just an exam so one could work in a government office. That's right, but it's not <i>just </i>an exam. This babe has an 80% passing rate and this makes Civil Service Examination kinda prestigious. Thus, a huge congratulations to all passers!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Now I'd like to share a few tips on how to ace this! </b>There would be a second exam schedule this October and I hope some of my observations might help. Now for the exam coverage:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"The Career Service Professional examination will cover the following subject areas: in English and Filipino: vocabulary, grammar and correct usage, paragraph organization, reading comprehension, analogy, logic, numerical reasoning, and general information. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Career Service Subprofessional examination will cover the following subject areas: In English and Filipino: vocabulary, grammar and correct usage, paragraph organization, reading comprehension, spelling, clerical operations and numerical reasoning. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Both examinations will cover the subject area on general information and shall have the following subject matters: Philippine Constitution, Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees (R.A. 6713), Peace and Human Rights Issues and Concepts, and Environment Management and Protection".</span></blockquote>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Never depend on the reviewer. They have a few similar questions with the actual exam, but it still is not enough. So what else should you study? Let me count the ways:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Basic Mathematics. </b>You won't be using calculator so be ready to welcome cramming and hasty manual computations during the exam. It will be useful during the Logic part since numbers are also present in that shit. To make things easier, start studying like an elementary student!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">How to add fractions</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Converting decimals to percent</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Understanding indirect fractions</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Remembering the multiplication table</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm not joking with the last one. In this modern age where scientific calculators are the norm, most people tend to forget their Multiplications! (Like me, I have t manually add a string of 6s since I comepletely forgot the sequence haha)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Memorize important elements from the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees. </b>As mentioned, it will be part of the exam's coverage, but unlike grammar and logic, there is no need to 'solve' general information questions like the Code of Conduct, but instead, it depends on your stored knowledge about the topic. Thus it is important to freshen and actually memorize your notes this time. It helped me immensely in the exam.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Visualize the Logic problems.</b> Logic is a bitch. But I was saved by drawing the problems and figuring them out through it. For example, a logic problem says that there are five guys sitting in a row, A hates C but D want to sit at the end but B would like to sit next to E, etc. What I did was create a table of the persons and the seats then I proceeded to mark all there preferences. If I finally have a neater understanding of the situation, I will then arrange them according to their wishes and hope my answer's one of the choices.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Don't give up on numerical reasoning.</b> I never studied for this part of the exam since I have<i> no</i> idea how to study it in the first place. But my main tip for surviving Numerical Reasoning questions is to stay calm. In a number sequence for example, there are a lot of ways those digits could be related. Try them all out:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The sum between the numbers. Then look for a pattern.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The difference between the numbers. Then look for a pattern.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">How far they are from each other. Then look for a pattern.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Do they follow the number before them? Then look for a pattern.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Always have a plan in mind as you go through these. The challenge is to do them fast enough and not panicking along the way.</span></div>
<div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now, for the exam proper!</span></b></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Arrive early.</b> Seriously. Like 5:00am. Every year, there are a lot of exam-takers and it is such a chore to come in 20 minutes before the exam. You're not late it's true, but you will be pressured to double check your requirements, your room assignments and how the hell are you supposed to get there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Follow instructions carefully and don't be afraid to ask. </b>By the time you get inside the room, there are still a few formalities to go through. Like the seating arrangements, signing your signatures, etc. It is an utmost importance to be careful and not make a mistake in doing these. If you don't understand or if you have a question about something, feel free to ask your proctors, these guys were trained to ensure that the Civil Service exams go smoothly so there's no need to be shy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Bring an extra pen AND pencil. </b>It pays to be a boy scout in this situation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Empty your bladder before the test starts. </b>My main problem with the exam was the time shortage. I am certain that I would have answered some of the questions confidently if given more time. But life is unfair, so you will just have to make the most of what is given to you. Thus going to the Bathroom is a big NO while you are busy with answering already. Do it while everybody's still preparing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That's all the tips I could give as of now, Ganbatte everybody!</span><br />

Requests for live version of the 1988 anime cult classic Akira had been heard for many years already. There had been talks of creating such film in Holywood but even the current plans is yet to see the light of day. However in 2012, fans created the <a href="http://www.akira-project.com/gallery/" target="_blank">Akira Project</a> via an IndieGoGo campaign, a global crowdfunding site. The main goal was to create a 5-minute live acton trailer that would also "stick as close to the source material as possible. A chance to do Akira Justice."<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: '';">After a year and a half of waiting, Akira Project is finally done with their own fan-made live action Akira trailer. It is awesomesauce:</span><br />
<br />

<br />
Lead by director/producer Nguyen-Anh Nguyen and CineGround Media, the team is composed of 100 people from 12 countries. They had Xavier Yuvens as Tetsuo and Osric Chau (a.k.a. Kevin the prophet) as Kaneda. The product is a tasteful, impressive fan trailer that could put Hollywood to shame.<br />
<br />
Well I might be exaggerating, but don't forget that this is an unofficial project by devoted fans. Any attempt by Hollywood studios in the future better make sure that they'll follow this group's vision in recreating anime classics into live action films. Nothing's as worse as seeng a Japanese character being played by a Caucasian (remember that Zac Efron as Kaneda rumor? <i>cringe</i>)<br />
<br />
Congratulations to all the team members, the actors who gave their tim and to everyone's creativity and efforts.

When I first stepped into 4chan, I was an immediate /x/phile. In layman's terms, my first home board was /x/Paranormal where anons talk about anything supernatural, weird and odd. Discussions about tulpas, skin walkers, dreams and mythologies are usual. Most of the anons in /x/ are also deemed to have the best research skills in all of 4chan.<br>
<br>
The following riddles I'll share with you today is from one of /x/'s many threads. It was originally<a href="http://chanarchive.org/4chan/x/36427/hi-guys-let-s-play-a-game-i-translated-this-story-off-a-2chan-t" target="_blank"> archived</a> but the current state of the website is still unsure. OP translated the riddles he got from 2chan thread called "Stories that are scary if you understand their meaning." Some of the stories here were also gathered from other sources.<br>

I was still in fifth grade when the Pinoy Big Brother first came to Philippine shores. It was an instant success and is followed by nine more editions of the franchise. Just yesterday, the Big Brother house opened its doors once again for another season. It's been hyped for a few months now so whenever the show would either satisfy or infuriate the viewers, the results are immediately posted online:<br>

Arashi fans are now excited for Arashi's new single "GUTS!", but in a surprising turn of events, another Arashi-related news is making its way around the online community. Apparently, <a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2014-04-25/meiji-university-to-offer-a-course-on-boy-band-arashi" target="_blank">Meiji University is offering a course </a>focusing on one of Japan's biggest male group to date<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The prestigious Meiji University, a private institution located in Tokyo, is offering a class on the boy band, Arashi. While this marks the first time the class will be devoted to Arashi, the class itself, a study in social psychology, has been offered for twenty years. Due to students' demands for a study on sexuality, the course has also previously discussed the band SMAP. This year's course comes at a good time—Arashi is celebrating their 15th anniversary, having debuted in 1999. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>According to the syllabus, the following topics will be covered:</b><br />Introduction - Arashi's Era<br />The Culture of Johnny's Entertainment<br />Before Arashi, focusing on SMAP<br />Changes in Arashi's PVs - Before the big break<br />Changes in Arashi's PVs - After the big break<br />A comparison of the members of Arashi<br />Arashi members as they appear on variety shows<br />Arashi in dramas<br />Arashi in concert<br />Arashi and J-Pop<br />Arashi and K-Pop<br />Johnny's Entertainment post-Arashi<br />Overview on the Era of Arashi<br />Test</blockquote>
