RIP Flappy Bird

RIP Flappy Bird



Hola guys! Can I just say that I kind of ate my own words when I said that I wouldn't try Flappy Bird. But now that it's already down, I thought I'd share with you things that I have learned from playing it for just a short time. I don't have crazy high scores or anything. Just saying.


1. Patience is a Virtue

Man if you have patience, it'll get you somewhere. I think if you have patience, you'll be good at this game. And sometimes even though you've already scored high, it doesn't guarantee you that you'll get a higher score after that. This game will make you hit rock bottom. MOST OF THE TIME.  

2. Practice Makes Perfect

This is to support my first lesson learned. Some people are just so good at things the first time they try it or people we call "the naturals" but unfortunately, some people are not like that.  Some people work their way up. By playing it often, you will notice that you will get better. Somehow.

3. Don't Give Up

This is like relevant. I would really seclude myself from the gadget and call it a day and then afterwards I'll grab the gadget again and attempt to improve my high score. So I suggest that in life, it seems like there's no chance of redeeming yourself but you're wrong. Life gets better at some point. Or sometimes it's us who change our standards and just be okay with things. Don't give up.  

Those are the three things I have learned from the game. I'm actually glad I tried it before the app developer pulled it out earlier this morning. I don't understand it completely but I respect his decision. So basically, he doesn't want his personal life to be involved with this and with his app earning as much as $50,000 (I read somewhere), I admire his decision really. But he probably have enough already. Anyways he also said (on Twitter?) that he won't stop developing apps. Flappy Bird probably caused him more harm than fortune so be it.

As of this writing, the app is no longer available on the app store but if you downloaded it beforehand, the game is still playable. Weird.

 So yeah that's all about this post. See yah! :)

Hello guys! I can't believe how fast January flew by. We're actually (almost) done with February. Well technically not but this month will just pass us by I know it already. Anyways.

February is my birth month and I'm turning 22 whether I like it or not. Most of the teenagers would love being at my age but I would actually love to be a teenager again. I just think I'm not quite ready yet. 22 seems to be like a big number when it comes to achieving things but I'm just not sure whether I have achieved anything big yet. Wow this post is turning to be a self assessment post huh? But yeah I'm quite proud to have achieved something at least. First I have graduated college, passed the board examination and then I got a job. Well that seems to be a good start. I think.

It's also love month and I can't help but get annoyed by  single people on the internet. I can't understand the need of posting that I would be alone and lonely because I would be single this Valentine's. People! You have to set your priorities in life! So unless you're already way too successful in life, or already did the rest of the things on your list, I don't think you deserve someone just because it's Valentine's. You go whine after it okay? That's gonna be less annoying I think. Annoying nonetheless.

Anyways the reason I haven't been blogging is because I want to make my 600th post something special. I mean this is kind of special for my standard. LOL. But you know, I have Flappy Bird for posting so yeah. This is already kinda special.

I want to thank everyone for being my blog friends. Oh also! My blog turned 2 already last month I think. Well you know! I should formally celebrate it for the years to come. And maybe do a small give away and stuff. Wow that sounds exciting thinking about it. 

Anyways I hope you guys are having fun! I hope you're not gonna whine about your Valentine's Day and stuff . Have a good day!

The Navarro vs. Cornejo Issue

The Navarro vs. Cornejo Issue

Hola! I just want to touch on a topic that I somehow don't give an eff about. But I'm still gonna talk about it because for some reason, the reaction of the majority pisses me off.

If you don't know what the issue is, let me just refresh your memory or maybe inform you whatever applies. Okay so Vhong Navarro was beaten up after allegedly tried to rape someone named Deniece Cornejo. Vhong's fans obviously are trying to defend their hero whilst there are others who are somehow neutral about it. Well I'm not sure whether there are actually people on the girl's side but whatever. 

I was only able to watch news recently and I can't really stand it as much as I want to. It's just everywhere! I mean I definitely can take an update of the news one or twice a day but the fact that it is featured segment after segment after segment everyday makes me want to turn off the TV which I did at some point thank you very much. And that's not actually what pisses me off. 

I'm happy to say that I don't really care about who's saying the "truth" as of the moment because with two versions of the event, are you kidding me? I mean, I don't know who's saying the real truth don't I? Even if I believe one of the versions, I might just get disappointed so I won't.So just give me a break and I'll leave it alone. You better do too actually. 

Netizens are kind of wild I understand and some people are saying that this event masks the real problem of the society which I agree on because why are people more interested in this than the whole Napoles thing? Well I'm actually sick of that too but good thing is I would never be on Napoles' side. I say she's less convincing than this girl Deniece. Anyways.

On to what pisses me. I SO HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE ARE JUDGING HER BY WAY SHE LOOKS. I am actually trying to avoid this issue as much as possible. I didn't even read a full article regarding this one and the only place I stumble upon the issue is Facebook. Recently, the video where Deniece appeared on a show called Wowowee went viral. I must admit she looked different there but I don't care. You know it annoys me that some people are saying things like "DI NAMAN PALA TALAGA MAGANDA E." or "PANGIT NIYA PALA E." And I'd be like, wow ha! As if. Si Daniel Matsunaga ba siya at kailangan super ganda yung girl? Get it? I don't why people are judging her that way. It won't solve anything if you figured out she had this and that done. I don't know if your irrelevant information can bring us closer to the truth. Do you think she would withdraw her claims because she's "ashamed" of the way she looked before? NO. Sorry. Is it okay to think that someone's gonna be cleared off a rape accuse because the girl is not that pretty? Not to say that Vhong is a rapist but the way people think makes me think that that's what people think. 

You know what I think? I think there's so much hate going on. It's a bias hate actually because for some reason, I think people are just jealous of her. That's what I think. So yeah I hope people would just stop at some point and move on with their lives. 

Anyway that's about it. I don't want to appear insensitive but this is just how I see this issue. I feel sorry for what happened to Vhong and hopefully it wouldn't happen to anyone else. Whoever is saying the truth deserve justice. That's all.
