Just cute.

Stuff March 12, 2013 0

I watched Xiaxue's Guide to Life's episode on such. Making coffee art and stuff and I don't think it's any easy so I really salute the person/s behind this. Good job! It's too pretty to drink though. Photo not mine by the way. I probably saw this either on Tumblr or Pinterest I can't remember. :))

Temple Run. Oz vs Brave.

Wizard of Oz March 10, 2013 0

I just want to make a comparison between these two. There wouldn't be pictures or anything like that but I promise I'll try to be as graphic as possible. Let's get started!

I like the Wizard of Oz's Temple Run better than Brave. I haven't seen Wizard of Oz though but that's not the point. The background of Wizard of Oz is like, way too more awesome than that of Brave. I also realized that if you weren't able to watch Brave, you wouldn't get much clue on what the movie is all about. You would probably know it's about a red head, bear, bow and arrow, and wisps. Unlike in Oz, you would have an idea that it's probably about a garden, a dark forest, a key, some flying creatures, bubbles, graveyard, and stuff.

Although I find the Brave's "night mode" amazing (which is a little hard to activate by the way), it's still nothing compared to the uphill stuff that the Wizard of Oz has. I don't know why but I really find Brave's straight set-up boring. That's actually what I like about Temple Run 2 as well. The stairs and all that.

In Wizard of Oz, there's this Parachute where you could ride in replacement of that zip line that Temple Run 2 has. And what you have to do is avoid the crystals and all that.

What I also like about Oz is that they also give you an option to continue the game even after you lose. Just like that of Temple Run 2 as well. Although it's relatively easier to earn points on Brave, they don't give you that option. Boo. I don't know but I guess it came out before Temple Run 2 so maybe it isn't pattern there. Oh well.

I like how there's a different place in Oz. If you were able to reach a certain amount of distance, there would be a sort of warning that would say that you will be on a different place and in this case, "The Dark Forest" which is like, scary because the roots of the trees are like everywhere and then the asphalt or whatever that thing is called is everywhere. Yeah. I guess you have to see it yourself. And probably tell me what you think. :)

Before I Die.

Wanderlust March 08, 2013 0

Before I Die's Tumblr is actually all over and tonight, I thought, I should take a look at it and pick my top 10! It doesn't necessarily mean that these 10 are all I want to do in life and stuff but you know, just a representative of the stuff I want to do. And since I'm already 21 now, I probably should get started with these. Like, at least 2 goals a year. Well, ideally, yeah. And this is in no particular order guys. :)

This is actually our plan ever since. Like, we will get a condo and live together like live the life there and all that and yeah quite excited for that!

I'm actually a fan of Harry Potter so this is really part of the plan. Quite excited for this! Soon! Soon! In conjunction with this, I also want to go to King's Cross Station and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

I like football. And I'd love to support my countries. Probably not in Brazil this 2014. Maybe in Russia and/or Qatar. Or maybe after that. It can get so pricey though but you know! Wish me luck. I need it. LOL.

SHINee's Dream Girl MV. Review.

Stuff February 20, 2013 0

So SHINee's back once again. You know what that means! I'm gonna have to review their new music video for my pleasure! Hahaha. First of all, I like SHINee but not to the extreme. I used to watch their Hello Baby so that kind of helped me relate to them and their music.

I liked the video! With some exceptions. I like the video generally but I don't like the transition thingy where the scene kind of pixelates and changes color and blinks and all that. Sore to the eye.

They have this Dream Girl moment when they dance with their microphones which is cool by the way. Me likey. And it also sported their awesome dancing skills.

I don't think I've told you already so let me just inform everyone that my favorite SHINee member is actually KEY. Such a diva. Likey!

From what I understand, their Dream Girl is this girl who never showed her face and was covered with flowers which are obviously animated and unattractive (flowers) and stuff. And they were like dreaming of this girl and all that. What I like is that the effect of bouncing into something hard when they become conscious. It actually reminds me of Inception a little bit.

The song is actually catchy and nice and yeah, I like it! Like, yeah I said that already. Haha

Movies! :)

Zombies February 19, 2013 0

The other day, my cousin went to my place to pick up something my mom would want to give her. And then she was like, let's watch Warm Bodies! It's already up. And I really intended to watch Warm Bodies before and I thank the Internet for letting us watch it for free. I know it's illegal and all so you don't have to remind me. I don't claim to be a 100% law abiding citizen anyway. But whatevs. Haha

I actually didn't enjoy the film that much. It's kind of confusing to me most of the time. Or probably because I haven't read the novel yet and all that but for some reason, even though the film is simple as it is, it's still kind of absurd. Very fast phase, and all that! But still not bad for a free movie. You would probably be more understanding when you paid for it. Good thing though that I liked the boyfriend of the main actress. So good looking. But that's another story. It's not like I'm totally disconnected to the film though. I legitimately felt happy when he realized he dreamt. You would know what I mean when you watch the movie. I would try to read the novel as soon as I got time.

To be honest, I enjoyed Twilight more than I liked this movie.

And then we watched Tangled. I actually haven't seen the movie like, ever. Call me a looser but that's a true story. Unlike Warm Bodies, the film was amazing! I liked it. <3 I wonder if I would the same if I were in her situation. I don't think I would just leave my mom like that. I mean, hypothetically of course. But I like when they showed that Rapuzel kind of felt guilty for what she did and all that. Good enough.

Like we haven't had enough yet, we watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. That too! Loser, I know. But it was awesome! Aswesum! I love the values incorporated in it. Such a family movie. And Johnny Depp was such a sweetheart! :) Not literally though. Because he actually didn't do anything about the troubled kids. Oh speaking of troubles, for some reason, although funny, I find that people from whatever land Oompa-loompas way too annoying when they sing. Why-oh-why.

Anyways that was my day the other day and I hope that would happen again very very soon! Stress relieving that was.

Accidental gig.

Yael Yuzon February 17, 2013 1

So my sister actually texted me to say that there are bands playing in the elementary school in front of our house. And I was like, what bands? And she didn't answer because she didn't know. So as a fan of most of the OPM bands, I got out to check. Which shock my mom a little bit because I don't usually go out and stuff. So I got there with my youngest sister first and checked and stuff and then it was fine, music playing and all that. It was actually an event put together by our councillor in partnership with a local radio station. So that happened. And when I looked at the banner to check who's playing next, I saw SPONGE COLA among many others (that weren't there by the way). And I was like, WTF? I love SPONGE COLA. Like, to death! I'll tell you why next time if I remember.

So I texted my cousin and my sister to inform them that Sponge Cola's gonna be there and stuff. And then my youngest sister and I decided that we should pick up my other sister at home so that we would all be there and watch together. I called my cousin and asked if she received my messages and she confirmed but texted me back a few minutes later that she's doing something so she wouldn't be able to come. So we went back to the school anyways.

Join The Club was there. Awesome.

This day is really unexpected. I love this day.

And as always, hyper Yael is hyper. I remember last UST Paskuhan how Yael climbed that steel thingy where the camera stood and it was actually darn high. So dangerous. So Yael. Can't really do anything about it. So yeah. I can't wait to see them again. I'm not actually a fan of politicians displaying their names and their projects but this one, I approve of. Except the shameless self-promotion of the politicians and radio staffs often times during the show. Good vibes!

What happened? Temple Run 2!

Temple Run High Score February 01, 2013 0

One thing you have to know about me is that I don't really play that much. I only play when I feel like so and want to kill time or probably when I'm bored. When we're not doing that much in the laboratory, we would actually take out our phones and play with whatever. I usually play Blitz and they would say that I've been playing it like, crazy and that they're questioning me why I like that game daw. And I was like, it's nice since it kills time. Haha. K.

I actually downloaded Temple Run and it's alright. I mean, yeah. And when I saw a co-intern playing Temple Run 2 with all the zip lines and trains, and uneven roads. I was like, I like that shizz. So I downloaded it. Also, I appreciate that the monster in the Temple is scarier than last time. I mean, I wasn't scared at all last time.

Can we just spend a little time to comprehend how this thing happened? Imma tell you.

And I am not joking or editing or whatever. I don't like cheating and stuff. I believe that if you want to play a game, you should play on and not cheat your way up.

I was trying to kill time by playing Temple Run 2 on my duty and someone actually distracted me and this happened. WTF? Like, wow. What happened was (or if I can remember it clearly), I got that power up where you actually can run very fast and turn to the right direction without even trying? And then since someone distracted me, I swiped my character to the cliff and what happened was it still run on the clouds. What? And I was thinking that maybe there's like a different world there and so I swiped to the left instead of forward and my screen turned back to the original scene and I bumped into a tree. GREAT!

Before this thing happened, my HIGH SCORE was actually just 100 000 plus so there's a hope for everyone.

What's on my iPhone tag.

White iPhone January 25, 2013 0

Inspired by Youtubers Trisha Paytas and beautifymeeh, I'm gonna do this tag as well. This is kind of different though because you know, you actually wouldn't be able to see how an app works or whatever. But anyways, that wouldn't stop me from doing this tag. Haha

Basically, they showed the apps they downloaded and stuff so that's what I'm gonna do as well.

This is how my phone looks like. My iPhone is actually black but my awesome tita sent me some screen protectors and one of them is this. Which I find really awesome because you know, change is good.

I have three pages of apps on my phone and the first page looks something like this. You know, my friends borrow my phone all the time and I feel like we're friends so I'm gonna let you borrow my phone too. Okay let's proceed. Haha

These are just the default apps that came with the phone. Well, most of it. I downloaded my productivity folder which has PDF FILE READER LITE and FILES which I use to transfer school files from somewhere straight to my phone. It's really convenient to actually be able to open a file anywhere. So yeah.

Also, I have an EMOJI for cute emoticons and then CONVERTER+ which I seldom use but kind of helpful to convert currencies, time, systems, and all other stuff. And then my Newsstand is empty because you know, whatever. And there's my first page.

I also would want to discuss a little bit about the four icons that you see below. I actually put them there not because they're the most abused but I just feel like I need them the most so in case of emergency or whatever, I need not go to the page where they're in just to access them. I used to use WHATSAPP a lot before but now, nah. I miss it though. K bye.

My second page is like, my social media apps. SOCIAL MEDIA? Hahaha okay these are connectivity apps that I actually downloaded because of peers. But mostly, my auntie made me download it because she have them too.

Except for BLOGGER that I use for blogging on the go. Obviously. I actually am not a big fan of BLOGGER FOR MOBILE because it kind of lacks function in some ways but generally okay for blogging purposes.

NUFFNANG X which I open occasionally or when I feel like it. Because for some reason, I'm still confused. I don't know how to actually use it. Or I'm just probably used to opening blogs manually if that makes sense.

I have FACEBOOK, TWITTER, PINTEREST, SKYPE, WE HEART IT, AND TUMBLR which I all open regularly and probably the most abused apps in my phone. PROBABLY.

I have LINE which my mom use to remind me to turn off the lights, WI-FI or whatsoever reminder of the day so it's kind of useful too. At least for me. All others are probably irrelevant so never mind them.

The last page looks something like this. I have OPERA MINI, my games which I will talk about a little later, some health stuff, my photo apps which I would also be talking about later, KAKAOTALK which I really really appreciate for some reason. I have CNN to actually read news whenever some interesting news headline pops out. Which is like not so often.

I have some SILVA RELAX and RELAX which I don't know which exactly is which but both makes me sleep. Then I have YOUTUBE which where I usually watch my subscriptions.

And then you all now my EARTHCAM app which I really adore for being able to show me my LA TOUR DE EIFFEL. And then my references which are mostly foreign languages or stuff you know.

And then GLOBEREWARDS which I also rarely use. Not really that important of an app.

These are the games I play. I'm pretty proud of these games LOL. My friends say that my phone is boring because I only have a limited choices but you know, phones shouldn't be toys. SAYS NO ONE EVER. Really though. Haha

I have TEMPLERUN which I don't play anymore and I should probably download TEMPLERUN 2 already because of good reviews and all that.

I have PROGNOSIS which is basically a game where you play the doctor which I really really like.

I have BLITZ which my friends say is very predictable and boring. I play this the most.

LOGOSQUIZ which I don't like that much.

I have BAKERY STORY which I love! :) FLOW which is okay.

FRUIT POP! is like my current addiction. CANDY CRUSH not that great. And I have WORDS FREE, SCRAMBLE FREE, and DRAW FREE which I like playing when I'm feeling a little competitive.

Photography apps that can't be compared side by side because for me they function pretty much the same so there's like no point.

INSTAGRAM I use mainly for stalking beautiful, awesome, famous people which are mostly my friends. Haha just kidding.

And all other stuff for like, collage, and stuff.

KAKAOSTORY is an app for photo sharing which I hope would be more famous than Instagram because it doesn't cut your pictures to awkward squares. If you know what I mean. If not, never mind. This is like a good app if you don't want your picture cut in half or whatever. So it puts filter as is. Which is awesome. The thing is you can only add or follow people from your KAKAOTALK. Sucks. K.

Okay enough of the apps now. Can I just say that I'm proud of my wallpaper? Hahaha that's all.

Oh and before I forget, this is how my lock screen looks like. I actually changed it this year from Paris to Ben Tower. Oh well that's all. Take care.

Tale of a Lost Phone.

Stuff January 24, 2013 0

Yesterday was our symposium day and more so meaning we have to be in the auditorium at 8. So as I saw my friend Kim there, she said she lost her phone. And I was like, what? Where? And then she said that someone took her phone inside her bag and probably the robber saw her put her phone inside her pouch and actually took the whole pouch.

So then my friend wouldn't want to report it na since she already accepted the fact that her phone's lost so she carried on with her LRT trip but when she reached Legarda station daw, she saw a girl who's kind of hysterical because she lost her phone din. So when the security advised her to go to the police desk, my friend approached the girl and said that she also lost her phone. So they went together.

So the story was, the girl in Legarda station kind of had an instinct of who took her phone but the security guard on duty disregarded her and said that she should report it to the police desk in the station. So when the girl actually reported to the station, by now with my friend, she brought back the topic that she had an instinct and she said the security guard actually did not listen, the policemen were kind of pissed so they called the security guard on duty and that happened. By the way, as early as 8 am, there were already 3 reported cases of lost phone. Welcome to the Philippines.

She was like thinking of her contacts, BBM contacts, pictures, and other stuff in her phone. Not even the phone itself which I also experience way back by the way and it really sucks I tell you.

So that happened. Then when my friend and I finished eating our lunch, there were actually rumors that there wouldn't be classes in the afternoon. Not in my class though. So I accompanied her to her classroom but no one is in there so then we went out and saw one of her classmates and asked whether or not they would still have theirs. So she said no more classes. AND THEN! She said that their thesis adviser asked their class whether or not my friend changed her number because someone's texting their adviser with rude stuff with her number daw. And I was like, seriously? They already got the phone so can they just stop already? I mean, what else do you want to have? It's just so annoying. Good thing their adviser actually know better and asked right away. Because you know, my friend wouldn't do that kind of stuff. Oh well. Life. Just take care of your self and your belongings. That's all.

Les Miserables! :) Movie Time.

Stuff January 19, 2013 1

So I watched the movie with my cousin after I had a long day of duty. We watched at SM San Lazaro which is the closest we can get and it's just so convenient to watch there. Even though like, we can go further and have a little more fun, convenience is still the key to everything. Or I was just probably tired from my duty. Anyways.

I actually haven't read the whole book. Way back high school though, I was able to read an excerpt like, as a requirement for my English class and that's it pretty much. If you haven't read the book, I don't think you would enjoy the movie less so GO FOR IT!

Can I just say that I really really loved Anne Hathaway's version of "I Dreamed a Dream"? Like, it's so awesome that I can't even.

Can I just say that I love these two? LOL. Just saying.

Okay enough of the screen shots! Thanks to the Internet for these pictures! Okay one more!

I definitely recommend it! But before doing so, I would like to give you these tips for better watching. These aren't mine but I kind of followed most of it so I thought I would share these with you.

Sunday 6 January 2013

Homesome!

Stuff January 06, 2013 0

This is awesome! This is like exactly what I want to put in my bathroom in the future! Originally, I just want the hand-washing part because I know how important that is. But this is like the perfect concept! And I was also thinking that I should put sanitizers on the wall thingy in at least 5 places around the house so that people would learn how to disinfect and stuff. Awesome, right?

I'm also digging this Harry Potter's Cupboard Under the Stairs look alike storage box. I don't want to expose everything I own. I want to keep them safe and organized. Except displays of course.

This! I would definitely have this too. I don't like the font though. And I would probably display this on my living room's wall. And I think it would be better if this would be bulleted or numbered. I guess it'd be easier to read. The picture above needs a little bit of effort to read. So yeah.

I would also want to have something like this. For some reason, I want my version a little more dramatic. Like, probably show the transition of the season. Like, there would be no leaves during the winter and in the fall, leaves would actually just be on the ground and spring, you know the rest! :)

SNSD's I Got a Boy MV. Review.

Yuri January 02, 2013 0

As much as I don't want to say that I pretty much think that they copied some other girl group's style, I kind of think they did. But I'm pretty impressed that they actually tried to do a different kind of song. And dancing. And look.

So it all started with this pink thingy which I thought would be the theme of the music video. Something Girl's Generation is known for. It's much like their GEE music video where they played the mannequin part and barbie-ish thingy.

And then it became like this. And I got a little confused for a second. Am I watching a 2NE1 music video or what? They look nice here though. And the background is dope.

I'm kind of surprised though that it wasn't TIFFANY nor JESSICA who made the introduction. I truly believe that they all deserve to lead somehow. Like, in this music video, it was SOOYOUNG who actually introduced the group. Like, I'm not a big Sooyoung fan but I'm so proud of her.

But for some reason, this happened all of a sudden and I was like WTF did just happen? Am I watching Wonder Girls or what? Mmm..

Nod bad of a video. Quite messy but bearable. I like their dancing of course. Can I just compliment Sunny's hair dos for a while? I like how fun her hair styles looked.

Oh well. That's all I can say.

Saturday 1 December 2012

December!

UST December 01, 2012 0

Can't help but sing Back To December by Taylow Swift. Oh well. December already. Like, seriously? One more month and it's 2013. Wow.

I just hope everyone's good and ready to cherish the last month of the year as

much I do. Also, I'm pretty excited for this month because as far as I'm concern, we got a lot to do. Thesis, stuff. You know. My hopes are really that everything will work fine and all that.

Goodnight December. Hello December ang peg ko bukas. Hihi

Fearless Forecast. The Voice Season 3.

The Voice Season 3 Winner November 24, 2012 0

Not really the winner yet. Let's give me some time to decide for that. LOL. Like my opinion counts. I mean, yeah but not really. These are my top 3. And yes! In particular order. ;)

As of this moment, there are currently 8 of them battling to be THE VOICE. So it's really kind of hard to choose already but whatevs. LOL.

Can I just say that I didn't know that she's that girl from Hey Monday. I'm not a fan of the band but I've heard of it. Awesome. I lurve! Love how perfect the above photo is. :))

Her voice is just as youthful as eff so I really like it. She sings from the heart. I really like how she can turn pop songs to rock songs. I like how she looks as well. I mean, on stage.

She reminds me of Lindsey Pavao from The Voice last season a little bit though. They kind of look alike.

But anyways. She's awesome. I hope she wins. Duh! That's why she's on the top of my list. LOL.

I don't really know if she's legitimate second because I kind of want her to win as well. That's also the reason why I included the title of the songs they sang on top of their pictures because I based their rankings on that. Also, based on my feels. Okay? I really like her style. It reminds me so much of my The Voice UK's FEARLESS FORECAST WINNER, Bo Bruce.

People who commented on her performances kind of said they don't like the breathy voice but for me, it's just a style. Unique kind of style. I said it's can get really annoying sometimes but you got to like the person to like the style. I don't know. And like I said before, I would prefer this kind of style over any copied styles.

And her hair is love!

This one is love! Like, really. His song is really something. And just like what his coach CeeLo said after the performance, he reminds me of a legend. Maybe himself.

Leon On Me is one of my favorite songs so maybe that's also why his performance really made an impact on me. Also, my mom's favorite.

That awkward moment when a man's hair is better than yours. TRUE STORY.

Wednesday 21 November 2012

Movie Time. Breaking Dawn Part 2.

Twilight November 21, 2012 0

Basically, what happened was my cousin posted that she want to watch Breaking Dawn and then I originally kind of wanted to watch it too so even though I have duty in the morning, I decided to go on and told her that we'll watch after my duty anyways. Oh well. No regrets.

Generally speaking, I'm not actually addicted to Twilight. I mean, I don't really want to compare but Harry Potter kind of made a big impact to me. But I liked Twilight. Not really feeling any kind of hate towards it.

But anyways. I kind of liked this particular movie. I think it's really well made and all that stuff. I think that its finale is really worth being the finale. If you know what I mean. I wouldn't say that it couldn't have been better though. But it was fantastical magical.

I really liked the twist that happened. Like, I was ready to cry and all that but thank goodness. Nah, just kidding. Actually, I kind of prefer for the first thing to happen but whatevs.

I liked Irina's role there for some reason. Like, quite an awesome traitor. And she said sorry and admitted that she was wrong. That's nice of her.

I also liked the vampires from Amazon. They kind of looked scary at first but yeah nice.

I really like's Alice's character. Not only in this movie but like forever.

If you're a Twilight fan, I recommend you watch it if you haven't already. Like, people are really talking about it lately and I must say that it's really worth the hype. Not really worth but I know where they're coming from.

"FOREVER."
