Video Game of the Year (2008)

And the video game of 2008 goes to...






Grand Theft Auto IV!!!

Yeah! It's true...
The game was awarded by Spike TV's 2008 Video Game awards (can't remember the exact date) although the it is banned by some countries due to its social immorality influence on gamers especially to the under-aged.


I'm not a Grand Theft Auto (GTA) enthusiast but I played three of its installments, GTA 2, Vice City, and San Andres, and it was so fun killing people, flying over the city, destroying police vehicles, helicopters, and many more.

IMO, what made it won as the Video Game of 2008 is because of the great freedom it may give the player. What I mean is, you can make crimes and escape from the law. Also, activating its cheat codes makes it more fun. We do wanna break human laws because it's so boring to be so disciplined, aren't we? This game just unleashes the crime potential of players.

But players must not apply these acts to real life because life isn't a video game. Life is real; it isn't a game that you can go back to time by loading your saved game. So don't let this game devour your mind from the real world.

PSITS 2008

The 5th annual celebration of the Philippine Society of Information Technology Students (PSITS) last December 13-14 was indeed a great success! The said event was participated by different schools with IT courses in Region XI. The event was held in Brokenshire College of Davao. The competition was very tough because all of the participants were pretty talented and made their best to get the crown.


The schools involved, based on what I still remember, were Ateneo de Davao University (AdDU), University of Southeastern Philippines (USP), University of Mindanao (UM) Tagum, UM Matina, Holy Child of Davao, Jose Maria College (JMC), Systems Technology Institute (STI) Davao, Brokenshire College of Davao, University of the Philippines (UP) Mindanao, Holy Cross of Davao College (HCDC), Davao Merchant Marine Academy (DMMA) College of Southern Philippines, and University of the Immaculate Conception (UIC). It's a big question mark why AMA College was not in the event. May be they have some problems that failed them to participate in the celebration.


Different athletic games, mind games, IT-related competitions like programming, and entertainment talents were witnessed during the event. We enjoyed every activity for it was so intense, extremely exciting, and authentically heart-beating. In short, it was so fun.

The reigning champion of the 2007's PSITS celebration, the STI College, failed to defend their title because, we, the UICeans did the best of our bests to obtain the title. Even though we had no entry for the Cheerdance Competition, we still won overall and declared as the PSITS 2008 Champion!


Go UIC-ITE!
Let's prove them we deserve the crown!
Go higher!
We didn't choose our victory. We created it because we don't choose the best, we create them!


Hope that we will improve more our performances for the next PSITS events.

Naruto Shippuuden: The Immortals Arc

Just recently watched the last episode of Hidan and Kakuzu in Naruto Shippuuden episode 88.
I'm just a bit sad because the Akatsuki immortals Hidan and Kakuzu, who are two of my favorite members, are defeated.

These two were greatly and indeed tough opponents for the Konoha shinobis because it took 8 ninjas just to defeat them. The avenger Shikamaru is admirable in this arc through his magnificent plan because this shows that great strength is nothing versus great intellect. Naruto's new double-edged jutsu was also first exposed here where he defeated Kakuzu using it.

I really admire the powers and jutsus of the two that's why I'm feeling quite bad right now. Like Hidan, I want to be invincible and immortal; that every pain inflicted on me will just be healed by few minutes; that even if beheaded, I, still, am alive. Also, Kakuzu's 5 lives is a one unique ability among all other shinobis in the anime though his forms don't look fair in the eyes. He's motto is like "If you wanna get rid of me, kill me five times" and Hidan's is "Even if you cut everything but my head, I still live".

The fighting scenes were breath-taking and must-focused that made this arc worthy to be watched. I love also the violence especially in Hidan's part where he always use blood in his combats. If this arc would be a human-acted movie, I think it would be like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes, and other movies with the same concept because of the gore that the two made.

Smallville: Doomsday

I'm really, really excited for this season of Smallville because the most ferocious and violent villain of Superman is here!

That's right...Doomsday, the only villain who defeated Clark Kent (earthly name of Superman) in the original comics, is currently in Smallville to eradicate the world. He is as hard or may be harder than a diamond that whatever physical pain is thrown on him will no longer damage him for the second time around because his body becomes immune to any physical attack after the particular attack.

I really wanna see as soon as possible all the episodes of this Doomsday saga. He is the only villain who can match up with Superman's inhuman strength that's why he's my most favorite. I hope the director will not weaken his character and I wanna see serious and unhurried combat of the two unlike the previous battles of Clark that even how strong the enemy is, he had defeated them by just a single blow or by just an item, in a blink of an eye...It really sucks every time it happens like that because it makes your excitement on his battle vanish like a bubble...

Hope that this one will never fail me and all the other Smallville fans...

More power to Smallville!!!

2nd Samal Outing

Yeah! My post birthday celebration was fun, successful and memorable. It was overall great, for our class (or let's just say our company) had great bonding - the group acoustic singing session , the swimming, volleyball, karaoke singing, the beer table, the sleepless night, the story sharing, etc.

Our planned time gathering was really 8am but because we're "pinoys", it was already, I think 11am, that we were completely gathered and made our trip to Samal. We arrived at almost 12+ and ate our lunch. We spent our afternoon by swimming and playing. I, together with few of the party, cooked and prepared our dinner after the afternoon jamming.

The night was not ideal for us to sleep because it was too noisy. The resort became just like a cheap mini Boracay because most of the people there discoed the whole night with the trembling beat of the music. It made me difficult to sleep. Most of us slept very late or should I say very early in the morning (3-5am). We woke up at 6, ate our breakfast at 7 and went home by 8am.

I thank you guys for that one of a kind outing of ours. Thanks for the party and celebration. Thank you for those who are present - Darin, Loren, Archie, Joselito, Jer, Suzanne, Pido, Kenneth, Ronnie, Louie, James, Jan, Nogine, Darwin, Yamato, Tangerine, Evangeline, Klyde, Noty, Aiden, Ritche, Melai, Rynie, Mariz, Dahlchie, JM, Kennard, Boom, and Jerdon.


I hope to have more great parties with you...tnx!! For those who didn't made it there, hope to see you present in the next outings/parties; better luck next time.


I'll be inserting some of our photos soon...

My playlist

I 'm just kinda flattered because one of my former classmates admired my playlist in my friendster account.



According to him, he listened almost all of the songs in the list and liked it very much. He said tears dropped from his eyes caused by the lyrics and the melody of the songs.


Allow me to display and share my playlist:

As you can observe, most of the songs are by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, My Chemical Romance, Evanescence, Nightwish, Flyleaf, Fall Out Boy, Secondhand Serenade. It's not that I'm emo or gothic or whatever dark but I just love the sounds, lyrics, and messages of the songs. Because I look like so innocent, I know that it's ironical that I love Rock songs but what can I do? I just love them. Whatever sub-genre the song belongs, as long as it is rock and the message is admirable and heart-catching, I will and shall love it not minding whoever the song artist is.

Hope you'd love my playlist and the songs!!!

Resident Evil: Degeneration

Finally, after waiting for about three months...
The 6th and latest movie of the Resident Evil (RE) franchise can now be viewed on the Net. I haven't seen yet the movie but I'm sure that it 'll be a big blockbuster movie for the RE fans.
The movie takes place 7 years after the video game RE2 and RE3: Nemesis and 1 year after RE4. Two of the main RE protagonists, Leon and Claire, are back again to kick some zombie ass.

I'm so excited to see this movie for I am a big fan also of the RE series.
For all the RE enthusiasts, prepare for more action, zombie madness, and virus storm for I'm sure this will not make my expectations be a big junk.
For more details about the movie, click here or here.


If you wanna see the movie, you can watch it via youtube.com, ovyguide.com or other media streaming websites.

Let's Call it a Day!

At last!
I'm already in our white tower home, currently reviewing our lessons in school for this week is our exam week.
We just had our Physics II examination lately this morning in the annex campus and it was a nose-bleeding one. After the Physics exam, we had our lunch at Pritong Manok and went to JS Citimall to spend our remaining free time before the next exam, where I with one of my classmates played Narutimate Accel 2 (Naruto Shippuuden 2) and I won by the score 4 times greater than his. As expected, the throne is still mine-I won of course. When it's already time, my eyes got teary and reddy.
After spending time in the mall, we went back to our main campus and had our Theology 4 test. It was quite difficult but I successfully answered the questions.
After the the exam, we went to Sequel/NetExpress Internet Cafe and played DotA (Defense of the Ancients) where we had 2 games exactly over two hours. We had 2 vague games due to some technical errors of the Cafe's LAN that ended with unsatisfaction and discontentment of the game . After all of the fun, my eyes got vampire-like because it became more reddy.



I'm so tired right now yet still taking my time typing this post. I just wanna share my journal as of this day...


About tomorrow, December 4, I don't know if I'm gonna be happy or not because it's my birthday and I feel so much pressure right now. I dunno why. Maybe because of my classmates' and friends' expectation on my birthday. However, I'm not gonna treat them by tomorrow for the reason that our class decided to unite my and one of my classmates' birthday this coming 6. Hence, it'll be a post-celebration in my case and a pre-celebration for my classmate's. We are planning to celebrate these birthdays in Samal Island in which each one of them must contribute 100Php for the additional foods and other stuffs excluding the transportation and entrance fees.

I hope and pray that tomorrow may be an ideal day for me and the double-birthday celebration will be a successful and joyful one.

Online Personality Quiz

I just tried the quiz and the result was satisfying. Actually, i don't know my real personality because it is dynamic depending on the situation. I'm kinda confused of the behaviors I show on people. Sometimes I'm silent and sometimes I'm not. I'm also used to be happy yet sometimes too serious.

Enough of the Intro...
just let me share with you the result of the quiz:

Introvert, Sensor, Thinker, Perceiver (ISTP)
ISTPs represent between 4 and 6% of the U.S. population

ISTPs are typically quiet, realistic, independent, and highly pragmatic people and come across as objective, even-tempered and unflappable in almost all situations. ISTPs, while often people of few words, they do enjoy joking around with people they know fairly well. Direct, honest, and down-to-earth, ISTP’s typically prefer to skip a lot of theoretical analysis or future predictions in favor of getting right to the bottom line and the relevant facts and figures. They can be veritable storehouses of information on things they know well and understand. Because they are realists, they are able to capitalize well on available resources, which make them practical, with a good sense of timing. ISTPs have an innate understanding of how mechanical things work and are usually skilled at using tools. They tend to make logical and private decisions, stating things clearly and directly, just as they see them.

ISTPs Tend To Be:

• Able to work well independently with defined tasks & tangible products
• Keen observers; excellent memory for factual information
• Highly logical thinkers; able to bring order to confusing & recognizable facts
• Able to stay calm & cool in a crisis or under pressure
• Highly resourceful and pragmatic
• Great at identifying the most practical, simple solution to what may seem complex


Career Satisfiers
All people are most satisfied and successful when using their natural talents in an environment that is consistent with their personality preferences and values. Research shows that ISTPs are most satisfied by jobs that provide the following:

• Opportunities to use their logical reasoning skills to solve tangible problems
• Work that has practical applications & concrete, measurable results
• A work culture with minimal social politics
• An environment that allows them to juggle several projects, all with clear deadlines
• Opportunities to work independently, with a minimum of supervision, & where they do not have excessive supervisory responsibilities

I agree with the result of the test. To test your personality, just click the link below and answer honestly the questions:

Never Alone by Barlow Girl - Mah New Fave Song!

Yes! My new fave song performed by Barlow Girl. I first heard it when my friend invited us to her church, which at that time, celebrated such special occasion. Two of the performers during that night sang "Never Alone". I thought that it was a boring one because at the first verse, the two singers sang lousily. But then, when they reached the chorus up to the end, I was mesmerized by the melody, the lyrics, and their voices.

Since that night, It was a last-song syndrome to me...
Let me share with you the lyrics:

Never Alone
by Barlow Girl

I waited for you today
But you didn't show
No no no
I needed You today
So where did You go?
You told me to call
Said You'd be there
And though I haven't seen You
Are You still there?

[Chorus:]
I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I"m never alone

And though I cannot see You
And I can't explain why
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my life

We cannot separate
'Cause You're part of me
And though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen

[Chorus]

We cannot separate
You're part of me
And though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen

[Chorus]

Also, one of the reasons why I like the song is because of its message. IMO (In My Opinion) and interpretation, the song tells us that He is just here around us. We're just too confined by the world that we can't even notice Him. However, in the end, after all of the fun the world may offer, we still feel alone and empty.
This song is for us teenagers because we usually feel lonely even if we're in our company, aren't we? In the end, it's still Him that we seek and He gives us the joy that the world can never fulfill.

I wanna thank the Grimmsters for introducing this song and for my friend who invited us. Without them, I would never know that this song exists...
