Shameless Professor!


Ever had a professor who only attends your class 2 or 3 times a term in a semester? And he only enters your class the meeting before the examination days? If you had or have one, then, better shift to another professor with the same subject for you'll learn nothing but bullshit.

We have this professor, who entered our prelim for, I think, just three times. As what I remember, the first meeting was the introduction of the subject and himself, the second was a little overview about the subject, and the third one was a sudden review for the prelim exam together with few oral recitations.

When he already submitted and displayed our grades in the web site of our school, almost all of us got discouraged and felt that it was extremely unfair. Most of us, the sophomores, failed while some got low grades. Only counted students got fair grades. I got the borderline passing grade and I felt bullshit for it.

I also had the same negative feeling as the others. It was so unfair because he had no quizzes at all and how come he could grade as like that. He is so shameless for all of these was his fault. He's just taking us for granted never minding that what he's doing was a big injustice. He's an attorney so he must be aware of that! Also, it is not a big excuse for him being absent most of the time just because of his attorney whatever stuffs. He entered this job so he must manage his time in just; it's his responsibility to attend us during our sessions.

One more thing, he looks so weird, autistic and uncomfortable teaching in front of us. His eyes are moving anywhere that distracts us. His penmanship is so ugly like a child who just learned how to write on a board. He's words are unclear and it takes us too hard to understand him. In summary, he is lousy.

I hope that this midterm, he will not be the same. If not, I pray that he would be fired from the university for students don't need a stupid teacher.

The Memory of Sunday

The story starts with a boy waking up early in the Sunday morning and feeling excited to marry his lover. As he prepared his wedding suit, he was recalling their happy memories together that even though how rude or evil the girl was, he still loved her and fortunately changed her to a better one. After all the preparations, he now went out from his house and made his way to the location of the girl.

However, when she went to the house of the girl, no one was in there. He waited for hours and hours outside calling the girl til the night came and the rain poured down. He was almost crying and broke his patience. He disturbed the sleeping neighbors very late at night interrogating them where the girl is. But, most of them couldn't answer him straightly until one of them told him what really happened. Then, the boy had no choice but to go home with painful tears in his heart.

Did you felt sympathy for the boy?
Uhm...If I were asked, it's a yes...

Sad love stories like that are really poignant and leave questions in our minds. Up to now, I really don't know why the girl disappeared.

Actually the story is my own interpretation of the song, "Remembering Sunday", by All Time Low. I consider the song one of the best sad love songs because it is so touching. The song was made perfectly and performed greatly by the band with the collaboration of Juliet Simms (from the band Automatic Loveletter) in the ending part of the song.

Oh well, as a good sharer, I'll share with you the song together with the lyrics so that you could relate.







REMEMBERING SUNDAY
All Time Low feat Juliet Simms


He woke up from dreaming and put on his shoes
Started making his way past
Two in the morning
He hasn't been sober for days

Leaning now into the breeze
Remembering Sunday, he falls to his knees
They had breakfast together
But two eggs don't last
Like the feeling of what he needs

Now this place seems familiar to him
She pulled on his hand with a devilish grin
She led him upstairs
She led him upstairs
Left him dying to get in

Forgive me, I'm trying to find my calling
I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm gonna ask her to marry me

Even though she doesn't believe in love
He's determined to call her bluff
Who could deny these butterflies?
They're filling his gut

Waking the neighbors, unfamiliar faces
He pleads though he tries
But he's only denied
Now he's dying to get inside

Forgive me, I'm trying to find my calling
I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm gonna ask her to marry me

The neighbors said she moved away
Funny how it rained all day
I didn't think much of it then
But it's starting to all make sense
Oh, I can see now that all of these clouds
Are following me in my desperate endeavor
To find my whoever, wherever she may be


[Juliet Simms:]
I'm not coming back
(Forgive me)
I've done something so terrible
I'm terrified to speak
(I'm not calling, I'm not calling)
But you'd expect that from me
I'm mixed up, I'll be blunt
(You're driving me crazy)
Now the rain is just washing you out of my hair
And out of my mind
Keeping an eye on the world
From so many thousands of feet off the ground
I'm over you now
I'm at home in the clouds, towering over your head


I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home




According to my own formulated theory based on my critical analysis and understanding on the lyrics, I think the girl died but there are still left words unsaid to the boy. She wants to explain everything but she can't because it's too late..

Hulk Vs.

Have yourself prepared because the green destroying-monster, again, is clobbering this year!!!




Hulk Vs. is a two short film battle by Marvel Comics. This film includes "Hulk vs. Wolverine" (33 minute short film) and Hulk vs. Thor" (45 minute long film). Hulk vs. Wolverine is obviously a battle between the two but additional characters are included such as Omega Red, Dead Pool, Sabretooth, and Lady Deathstrike to make the film more fun and intense. While Hulk vs. Thor is the Ragnarok between gods and the Hulk.

The Hulk is considered as the strongest character in the Marvel Universe because his strength is based on the level of his anger; the angrier he is, the stronger and more powerful he becomes. He's just not tough physically for he can block telepathic attacks unlike Juggernaut and resist magical attacks over time. The only thing to beat him is to calm him down.



I've already seen the film and it's great. I had fun watching the battles of the unbeatable Hulk that even gods, like Loki and his daughter, the goddess of the afterlife, took the most desperate ways to handle his wild rage and five strong X-Men characters weren't able to defeat him. If I were to choose, I like more Hulk vs Thor because it's a balance of story and battle unlike the other one which only shows how strong is the Hulk by defeating Wolverine and the others. Also, strong characters like Omega Red was weakened and that's what I hate most in movies/films.

The film can now be watched via video streaming web sites like youtube. Just watch the two films and witness how Hulk smashes!

The Return...

Greetings everyone!!!
I decided to return to blogspot because blogsome for me is so complicated and I don't have yet enough skills in HTML to manage that blog. Perhaps some time, I might be recreating my blogsome account. One more thing, I feel much more at home here in blogspot.

By the way, the rumor that blogspot will no longer be active is just a rumor as expected. My co-bloggers just said that to convince me to transfer to blogsome.

So here I am once again...

Hope you'll enjoy more of my posts.

Thank you

Naruto Manga: Getting Boring and Boring Over Time

Hmmm....

The latest chapters of Naruto in Manga, the eradication of Konoha by Pein's (or Pain, both spellings are used in the Manga) wrath, make me annoyed because Naruto is being so high-lighted and strengthened over the other characters even though it's impossible for his present state.

Come to think of it. The ninjas of the Konoha, with the high-class ninjas like Kakashi and the Fathers of Choji and Ino, were almost killed by just one or two Peins, but the weak Naruto, who just got tired by his endless pissing trainings, just thwacked one of the Peins and it just died in a sudden. Also, he defeated Pein's summoned minions effortlessly that even high-ranked ninjas couldn't.

It's so unfair in the part of the other supporting characters because we know that all of them are just almost equal in strength and techniques, they only differ in their fighting styles.

Masashi Kishimoto, the author of Naruto, must also develop the other characters because Uzumaki Naruto isn't the only one the viewers/watchers want to see in action but also other characters like Hyuuga Hinata, Aburame Shino, Yamanaka Ino, Senju Tsunade, and many more. They must expose each of the characters equally to know their capabilities more together with their improvements.

I'm very disappointed with this issue that's why I now watch Bleach, another fictional Japanese anime and comics, because the Manga and the anime make us know all of the primary and supporting characters of Bleach by showing the us how they fight in a combat exposing them long enough, their life backgrounds, and their personalities and characteristics.

The stuffs like "You are the chosen one", "You are the prodigal one", or other lines like that, which makes the main protagonist very special than the rest, are so oldish and give the viewers no excitement at all.

Actually, I like Naruto because of its concept - a fictional world with consistency in story and twists, the style of setting which is so traditional, the moral, and most of all, the story flow. It's just that, I've got irritated by so much, "Uzumaki Naruto is the only one who can save us", lines. It's so childish.

All of the characters must be given importance and significant roles so that the fans must not only hail and idolize one character that might bore them as time passes by and forces them to not anymore continue anticipate the series.

Uniqueness

Do you believe that all of us, even non-living things, have their own strengths and weaknesses? Obviously it's a yes for the majority. But why are we having such strengths and weaknesses? Maybe it's because we're all unique. However, what is the essence of uniqueness if all of us are unique? I mean, If we're all unique, there's no more uniqueness in that because it's just normal and ordinary to be so unique.

It might be that we're unique in our own different ways. But if all of us have our own uniqueness in our own different ways, therefore, the thought is just the same as said in the paragraph above; it is again considered as being normal.

I know it sounds like crazy and nonsense but when you intellectually think of it over and over, you might get my point.

I just wanna share what my mind wanna say. Nothing personal.

Lonely Road

By the way, belated merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to all of you! Sorry for not posting for weeks because of the yuletide celebration. Here I go again...please read, enjoy, and gain new information about entertainment on my first post this 2009.



One of my favorite bands, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (RJA), had already finished recording their new and second album entitled "Lonely Road". Yeah! It's true and I'm so really wanna listen all of the songs in the album because the titles of the tracks are so interesting and raises my level of curiosity in every song.

Their sophomore album was recorded at Valley Village, California, in the studio of the producer of great bands like All-American Rejects, Hoobastank, Daughtry, etc., namely Howard Benson. This album will be released on February 3rd of this year.


Here is the track listing of the album:
  1. "You Better Pray"
  2. "No Spell"
  3. "Pen and Paper"
  4. "Represent"
  5. "Pull Me Back"
  6. "Step Right Up"
  7. "Believe"
  8. "Pleads and Postcards"
  9. "Lonely Road"
  10. "Senioritis"
  11. "Godspeed"


One of tracks, "Your Better Pray", has already an official music video that can be viewed via youtube. If you wanna see it, go check it out. Moreover, it is their first single in this album followed by "Pen and Paper".

However, Elias Reidy, the guitarist and backing vocals of the band, already left the band for some reasons I dunno yet but he already recorded the whole CD before leaving RJA. But I think he was already replaced but not sure of it.

I'm expecting that this album will, again, be a great hit on billboards top songs, radio stations, and music television channels. This will serve as their 2009 gift for all RJA fans like me.

Go RJA! Keep on rockin'!
