Been gone for so long and now I'm back with a vengeance. lol Not really. Back with a bit of headache from not being able to sleep because I've been messing up with my schedule so my body clock's messing up with me as well.<br />
<br />
But right now I'm in the mood for sharing some of my favorite musicians. It's because of these guys why I'm still thankful for the existence of music. These days, many people mistaken music for bullshit. While there's nothing we can really do about other people's preference, I sure hope they don't try to sabotage the real wonders of real music. Now here are some of the real musicians (people who write their own sensible songs and perform their music from the heart, usually with instruments, without being annoying lol) for me:<br />
<br />
<b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1-4u9W-bns">Jason Mraz</a> + <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/JamesMorrisonVEVO/videos">James Morrison</a></b><br />
<br />
Don't these guys have sexy voices and songs truly worth listening to? :) <br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkeY2MG49ho"><b>Jon Mclaughlin</b></a><br />
<br />
He's a real charmer; for me, that is. haha The voice, the piano, and the passion (and yeah, the appeal haha)... *awwww* :) I will always love Bruno Mars, but I'll never get tired of listening to Jon.<br />
<br />
This one with Sara Bareilles, also a favorite artist, is one of my all-time heart-melting songs.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/By7YgbX3GuA" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
And in terms of bands, <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tMKO_9SD1Y">One Republic</a></b> will always hit my heart's charts along with Lifehouse, Coldplay, The Fray and The Script. haha<br />
<br />

<br />
But hey, who can ever beat the kind of eargasm the<b> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3xwCkhmies">Queen</a></b> can provide? lol I grew up listening to them because of my Uncle. Anyway, these guys are legends so any argument is invalid. haha<br />

This is really sad, but most of us are like him. Some were not even given the chance to say all those things their loved ones need to hear before they leave this place. I just wish I have the courage to be that outspoken of my feelings to my family. Yes, I'm frank and open to my friends and other people; but not to those people who I really care about the most. I don't know why, but words just fail me along with my actions.<br />

Motivation is what gets you started, habit is what keeps you going.</blockquote>
Indeed, and as of the moment, I feel that surge of motivation. I should start working really hard for all or most of the things that I intend to accomplish. There's so much that I want to do that it's giving me the chills.<br />
<br />
And while some people decide to change because they are bitter, jealous or angry at something or someone, I will become a better person because that's what I want and that's what's gonna make me happy. It's for the better. It is never too late to start something new or continue what you had taken for granted. <br />

Actually, I should be working at this time. But I just couldn't stop myself from starting up something I know I should've done a long time ago--writing stories from ideas that randomly comes up my mind. I have a lot of them, then and now. Sometimes I note them down, most of the time I rely on my sloppy memory hoping I could harvest or re-trace those ideas should the right moment comes. Now I realized I should 'act' as soon as I'm struck or overflowing with creative juices.<br />
<br />
For now, I'll make some drafts of those stories which I'm hoping I could finish well. I don't aim for novels or whatnots; just stories good enough for sharing. Wish me luck! *fingers crossed* :D<br />

I've always thought that the world has already ended... ever since many people in the world have gone overboard with their nasty deeds... I didn't want to lose faith in humanity--not while I'm still alive and I know a lot of great, kindhearted people.<br />
<br />
Maybe I started feeling pathetic when I experienced something heartbreaking, which I now realized is not worth the pain and the worries. Now that I've decided to move on and give people a chance, I'm beginning to appreciate every small act of kindness and love and respect. My faith in humanity has been somewhat restored, especially with the help of the following videos and images:<br />
<br />
<i>It doesn't matter what others do to you. It's how you respond to them that counts.</i><br />

They just have this habit and talent of making people ecstatic through their delectable meals.<br />

Sad but true, right? Reality bites and truth hurts. But you always have the choice to either <a href="http://www.marcandangel.com/2013/01/18/10-choices-you-will-regret-in-10-years/">let go and move on</a> or keep holding on and suffer from neglect. You can't avoid meeting people who would eventually leave or hurt you. What you can always take control of is how you respond to the circumstances.<br />
<br />
I really hope I can walk the talk, especially now that I'm feeling so down. Even so, other people have it worse. I should be grateful for whatever I have and whatever I am or will become. *cheers*Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678099196322689613.post-53442592822931200402013-01-13T21:30:00.000+08:002013-01-13T21:32:06.901+08:00Sometimes...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'd like to have clever kids someday. But I know I should be careful with what I wish for. Cunning ones can be troublesome too. Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678099196322689613.post-29333859790462929402013-01-04T15:02:00.000+08:002013-01-04T15:02:11.035+08:00Be Better, Not Bitter :)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Indeed, you're the only one who's going to suffer if you keep on sulking over trivial matters. So instead of allowing bitterness and loneliness take over your life, why don't you embrace the fact that nothing's ever going to change unless you do something to become a better person? This has been my preach to myself...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Now that it's a new year, we are all given a new chance to either start a new life or improve what we already have. I am quite certain that there are lots in store for each of us this new year. All we have to do is harness that latent drive to do better.<br />
<br />
I have been feeling so down before 2012 ended. But this new year, I have firmly decided to make a difference. I know I can't do this on my own. I need God's grace, mercy and love. Nevertheless, I'm sure He will always provide.<br />
<br />
Several painful events have made my heart more protective and cynical. Sure enough, I haven't moved on yet from some of those things which I never saw coming. But maybe I've become weaker or more comfortable with the fact that I have a lot of people who are so good to me. I have forgotten that people change, and that they will come and go. Even so, I will not lose faith in my being a people-person. Just lessen ties, maybe.<br />
<br />
Now there are so many reasons for me to smile and be happy... so why would I continue to entertain negative vibes? This new year, I will surely be better. I hope the same goes for you all, especially for those who feel taken for granted. Be the change that you want to see in humanity.<br />

Hear ye, hear ye!!! Grab the opportunity to start a clean slate while it lasts...<br />
<br />
2012 has been quite a wonderful year for me and my family. Though we've been through a lot of ups and downs, (well, I think it's quite natural... so, not bad...) I could say that we all managed to survive another spectacular year. I'm really praying that 2012 will be better--more productive and fulfilling.<br />
<br />
And since I'm trying to catch my breath and race with my heartbeat due to excitement while writing this post so, at least, I could do some sort of a year-end special, I'll try to make it short by sharing these photos of places I've been to this year; places which remind me how magnificent life is, especially when you always make an effort to travel, explore and learn new things with remarkable people in your life...<br />

I bet a lot of people, especially anime/animation/cartoon fans know what I'm talking about. And although I'm not that addicted to all of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayao_Miyazaki">Miyazaki</a>'s animation movies *winks*, I just can't stop digging into what <a href="http://www.studioghibli.net/">Studio Ghibli</a> can offer. Fortunately, such animation studio has a lot in store for their ardent fans who are always in the lookout for more.<br />
<br />
I have been pensive about the thought of visiting the <a href="http://www.ghibli-museum.jp/en/welcome/">studio's museum</a> in Japan (of course). I know it's never impossible. But someday, soon... maybe. Why not? hehe After all, Japan is a place I've always been dreaming to explore. If only I don't have to strive learning for a new/different language.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ghibliworld.com/">My Neighbor Totoro</a>, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke and Ponyo are just some of my favorites from <a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/company.php?id=60">Miyazaki's studio</a>. When I watched them again together with my siblings and niece, I just couldn't help but think of collecting plush toys and other collectibles of each movie's characters.<br />

I'm not a Lego enthusiast; so somehow, I'm not 'that' captivated by this concept. But a lot of fascinating ideas came to mind when I stumbled upon this setup. *smugs*<br />
<br />
This, on the other hand, just made me delirious and envious. To think it's only/mostly a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29976085@N08/">Totoro collection</a>... It could've been more <span class="query_h1" id="query_h1">begrudging if the owner also possess other SG collectibles. *swoons*</span><br />

When can I ever enjoy this kind of collection? I bet I'd really go broke if I just follow my instincts. But well, I'm a *coughs* responsible *coughs* kind of person. Hence, deal with the priorities before anything else. Nevertheless, I have practical ideas on how to come up with my own SG collection along with my fave anime and the like. I will surely share my works of art, if I could ever find the time and resources to do so.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678099196322689613.post-64697806628675569232012-12-25T04:16:00.000+08:002012-12-25T04:16:47.741+08:00Happy Birthday, Jesus!

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Indeed, everyone was so crazy about the live-action adaptation of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WNi8z5EWuE&feature=share">Rurouni Kenshin</a>. When news about its coming into the big screen started to spread, I just didn't know what to think or feel. But the moment the movie trailer came out, I couldn't stop myself from swooning and wishing that soon it will be the big day.<br />
<br />
A lot of (aggravating) things happened before I managed to watch the film. It was postponed for 2 days due to some technical and other (stupid) reasons. We have been waiting for that movie for like forever! Hence, it was really frustrating how we had to wait any longer all because of incompetence. I even decided to just forget about watching it. But hey, it's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rurouni_Kenshin">Battosai the Slasher/Kenshin Himura</a> we're talking about here. I could never let this chance pass by.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Rurouni Kenshin or <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1979319/">Samurai X</a> is perhaps my all-time favorite anime. Until now, I simply cannot forget about its existence. This anime has the biggest and deepest influence in my life, and maybe one of the reasons why I love anime up to this day. I bet the same goes for other anime/Samurai X fans out there.<br />
<br />
More importantly, its live-action adaptation is perhaps the most satisfying one ever since the film industry started to make live-action movies of famous anime series like Dragon Ball and Avatar the Last Airbender. It's actually among the concerns of many fans. Will it be able to live up to their expectations? Maybe the trailers are mere baits. But since it's in Japanese (Japanese actors, production and all), what else could go wrong? :)<br />
<br />
Although the movie presented a different take on the manga/anime, it was all worth it. Many avid fans were quite disappointed as to how they twisted the details or story line (just as how most adaptations end up with); but for me, it was like a dream come true to be able to watch a live-action film of your favorite anime without having to feel so betrayed or dismayed.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.asiaone.com/A1MEDIA/news/11Nov12/images/20121129.181159_encorefilms_rkenshin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="208" src="http://www.asiaone.com/A1MEDIA/news/11Nov12/images/20121129.181159_encorefilms_rkenshin.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The Rurouni Kenshin movie pursued the supposed-to-be Aoshi (one of my ultimate crushes haha) arc while giving glimpses of Kenshin's past. That annoying rich industrialist Takeda Kanryū (with his gatling gun that was supposed to kill Aoshi's gang) who had been forcing Megumi to make opium was there. But Aoshi wasn't included (yet), and they instead used a different main villain--Jin'e along with that guy who looked like Hanya and the one whom Sanosuke fight with. In addition, Saito also became a part of it though in manga/anime he first appeared on the Shishio arc. Hopefully, a sequel is coming; and Aoshi will then show up.<br />
<br />
It was almost perfect if you were not to take the storyline seriously. I mean, the problem with most people (fans, especially of books/anime/etc) when they are faced with an adaptation of their favorites is that they expect it to be sort of like a verbatim. Can't they just watch the movie as it is? I know it's kinda hard not to associate what you already know, but there's nothing we can do about it, right? All in all, whether you're a fan of Kenshin or not, you will surely enjoy the movie because its fight scenes are so awesome you just can't get over it. And hey, Sanosuke was so funny and cool at the same time. Kudos to Rurouni Kenshin movie.<br />

<br />
After my siblings and I watched <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1217209/">Brave</a>, I remembered that Pixar has a lot of short films that are truly amazing and unbelievably unique.<br />
<br />
This one, the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1957945/">La Luna</a>, is perhaps the most heart-warming and clever short that I've ever seen!!! And since I am a fan of stars, I just can't help but share this magnificence...<br />

See for yourself and be amazed of <a href="http://www.pixar.com/short_films/Theatrical-Shorts">La Luna</a>... too bad it's just a short film.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678099196322689613.post-8910252508240945452012-11-20T14:34:00.001+08:002012-11-20T14:34:15.643+08:00"I am the Avatar! Deal With It!" x_xIt took me quite some time to finally decide to watch The Legend of Korra. When it started airing, I really did my best to avoid spoilers. It took a lot to ignore that burning sensation within me. I don't want to miss anything remarkable, but I always try not to go with the flow. And so, I let the first season of LoK complete its episodes. After months of holding back, I then decided to watch it no matter how unsatisfying the number of episodes available. Made me miss the Avatar: The Last Airbender even more.<br />
<br />
As a brief review, the Legend of Korra is nothing compared to how fun The Last Airbender is. But of course, LoK is pretty much on the mature aspect. Still, there are funny parts; especially the distortion of their faces whenever they're faced with something uncomfortable. I really like how Tenzin holds back the Aang side of him. What makes Legend of Korra amazing are the fight scenes. All in all, it's also worth watching.<br />
<br />
I can somehow relate to Korra. Impatient, impulsive and stubborn but has the tendency to become the most vulnerable person. The thing is, I belong to the fire sign while Korra is supposed to be this calm individual from the Water Tribe. So I guess it's really bad news if the Avatar is from the Fire Nation who has some bad temper issues. And hey, Korra's physique is truly inspiring. haha Too bad I don't have the height. <br />
<br />
I'm actually just trying to post something here since I don't feel like doing anything today...<br />

When you feel neglected, several other negative feelings tend to manifest. To be taken for granted by someone you love is just like as not being loved at all. Many people, especially children, who feel neglected have the tendency to either hurt themselves or others. A lot of dangers await those who feel disregarded, and to those who keep on ignoring the importance of anything or anyone.<br />
<br />
These are my realizations upon watching these two films. I just stumbled them on youtube when boredom struck me and I wanted to watch something that has some decent, positive comments/feedback.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Orphanage_%28film%29">The Orphanage</a><br />
<br />
I'm not really fond of horror movies; especially those psychological types (the ones that let your thoughts do the torture) because I'm actually good at scaring myself. This movie is one of those that you won't be able to forget easily.<br />
<br />
The kid is so adorable, and there are some fascinating scenes that would make you forget it's a horror movie or something. Although you would have to rely on the subtitles because this is a Spanish movie (produced by Guillermo del Toro), you will surely have fun watching this if you're looking for a horror movie that does not rely on the frequent appearances of ghosts and jumpy moments or the distortion of the characters' faces but rather on the originality of the story and the way it tickles the brain.<br />
<br />
The relevance of neglect? Watch and find out for yourself...<br />

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doll_Master">Doll Master</a><br />
<br />
Now this has just made me all the more uninterested in dolls, particularly those bigger or life-size ones. It actually gave me a terrifyingly creepy feeling. The house full of dolls in this movie is not your ordinary doll house. I bet that even those who love Barbie would think twice in staying on that house. Everything's just disturbing! This is a Korean horror movie so expect some signature hair-related scary scenes. <br />

The point is, even those lifeless things need some attention, particularly if you use them regularly or if you have been so fond of them--just like the dolls or the toys we cherished when we were just kids.<br />
<br />
Neglect will eventually lead to regret, especially if it's already too late to make up for the times lost.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678099196322689613.post-34834850103829860552012-10-30T16:21:00.000+08:002012-10-30T16:21:33.700+08:00Eyes On You o_OJust remember dear figures, I have set my sight upon you.

Perhaps it's also because I missed the fun and thrill that such anime has given me and my brothers (along with the many fans of the series) when we were just kids. I could still remember how glued we were on the television whenever it's time for our favorite anime series. And that's also one of the reasons why I somehow grew to be 'not-so-girly' hahaha.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQhQvUcxLEY6EKqGXJunGZXVvkoxersoRdSHWTsYkThFrN0OpZvToy2ahR6Likg9uNn8Li0R2HqUOdVw7X-HgssSEnA7_y8SfxqKk71Ao51oeza4KVURbpCKjCoabrhwyQs8rkWDIrQ4iH/s1600/6846_dragon_ball_z_hd_wallpapers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQhQvUcxLEY6EKqGXJunGZXVvkoxersoRdSHWTsYkThFrN0OpZvToy2ahR6Likg9uNn8Li0R2HqUOdVw7X-HgssSEnA7_y8SfxqKk71Ao51oeza4KVURbpCKjCoabrhwyQs8rkWDIrQ4iH/s320/6846_dragon_ball_z_hd_wallpapers.jpg" width="320" /></a>When my brothers and I started re-watching the series, I was kinda shocked of the many things that I realized upon watching every episode. LOL I couldn't remember anything pervy when I watched it before. But now, it's become really obvious how funny and somehow perverted such anime is. haha Maybe it's only because of the changes in the way we perceive things from before to now. Maybe I was really innocent before. *battling eyelashes*<br />
<br />
Watch <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Ball">Dragon Ball</a> again, so you'll know what I'm talking about. Start from the very first episode. When Goku's still a child with a tail. His way of checking whether a person is a girl always cracks me up. Seeing Master Roshi again made me realize that indeed, this is where perversion in anime all started. hahaha<br />

Another thing that has become an important part of my childhood was the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Drtndv4024k&feature=related">Masked Rider Black or the Kamen Rider Black.</a> Gosh, I was so in love with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamen_Rider_Black_%28character%29">Robert Akizuki/Kotaro Minami</a>. Haha And who could ever forget his 'moves'? Now I feel so old remembering those childhood memories. I just can't stop laughing whenever I'm going through some images and videos of this series. Those were the days, indeed. <br />

Yo, yo, yo! What's up blogosphere?! Haha It's been a long time, right? Now, I'm back. I can't promise anything to my poor blog, though. But I'm really trying to make it up. Hopefully, I can actually keep this blog alive and active.<br />
<br />
So what made me return to this realm? haha Well, let's just say I'm getting some breather. And I'm somehow planning to join a local organization designed for bloggers. Haven't decided yet, but maybe it'll do me good. Being active on this blog will serve as a road test. If I really can't commit myself to blogging consistently, then I don't think there's a reason for me to join anything. Although I'm not really expected to blog as much as possible, especially with regards stuff that has something to do with my hometown, and that I may still join that organization, I just want to set things straight for a more responsible and driven me. Wohoo! :D<br />
<br />
I know I have much to learn in terms of effective blogging. I'm actually having trouble setting the pages right and some other crucial elements. Hopefully, I can manage to do what I think I need to before I run out of excitement and motivation. The fact that I will be able to explore and learn more maybe one of the reasons that I wanted to get back on track. Still, I'm not yet that comfortable to share this blog to many people.<br />
<br />
Even so, I'm up for the challenge. I will try to be what a real child of Mars actually is like. Yeah, I just changed the name of my blog. Not bad for the start of something new, right? I'll try to take things slow, one step at a time so I don't end up bored or exhausted. See you around! :DUnknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678099196322689613.post-14948324185510622912012-02-03T20:22:00.000+08:002012-10-25T15:09:36.456+08:00Love Is In The Air? ^_^Well, time flies really fast... and now it's already February!?!<br />
<br />
I really want to update this blog as often as possible. But lately, I've been very busy; and sometimes, I can't find the right words to come up with a decent post. I've even neglected my other blog which I promised to myself I really should manage well. I guess I've become really irresponsible these days. lol<br />
<br />
And though I have found the time and the inclination to make a post today, I'd just keep it simple. Since it's the love or the heart's month, I decided to share two of the romantic/love-related videos that melted my heart today:<br />

I miss the busy streets, the busy people roaming the malls, the jeepneys and all sorts of random sights that an everyday life in a small city could offer. Although I wasn't that active in exploring the city before, I could feel some drive within me that's wanting to explore different places within the City. I know there are still lots of corners and streets that I haven't visited even once although our City is a bit small and easy to navigate. And even though a part of me is telling me that what I wanted to do could be a bit risky, well, I'd rather explore than die from a monotonous living. After all, I'm a sucker for adventure. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.miami.edu/EE/images/slides/studentgovernment/Koh_Phi_Phi_Thailand-_Tim_McNaught.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="120" src="http://www.miami.edu/EE/images/slides/studentgovernment/Koh_Phi_Phi_Thailand-_Tim_McNaught.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
My love for traveling, I figured, should not be given any limits. I should go out and see the world! Of course, I ought to start from where I live. The city may be small, but I know there are lots in store; waiting to be discovered. What I had been planning to do, is go out every single day... do some short to long walks... starting from our vicinity to as far as I could go. Of course, I'd take a camera with me to take shots of random people, sights or anything that could capture my interest. It doesn't have to be grand or something very spectacular. Otherwise, I'd feel pressure to find something remarkable. I'll just have to enjoy my walks, and the scenes that would unfold before me. Still, I'm hoping that many fun and memorable things would come my way.<br />
<br />
Hey, isn't that another way to exercise? lol Yeah, that could be another advantage to this endeavor. Hopefully, I won't get lazy. But I only feel lazy when it's raining or the weather isn't that assuring. I'm still thinking about the time for when I should go out; either during my lunch break or after my working hours. well, maybe depends on the mood; what matters is that I shouldn't miss a day without making any discovery. This was also triggered by some great photos I've seen a few days ago. I was inspired by those people who were able to capture real-life, random events. But hey, they looked extraordinary when presented well. I wish I have a high-quality camera. Though I don't really want to go around holding those inconvenient-looking DSLRs; they may be able to capture really good images. But I don't want to attract so much attention. <br />
<br />
Well, that's all for now. I have lots of plans and goals for this year. Hopefully, I can get them done; even just half of it. Hopefully, this would serve as a good start for me :DUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0
