The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess makes me look like a moron!!

i have never been the rpg guy.. i mean, i literally hated final fantasy and there was this other game wherein this guy has an alter ego something that i stopped playing... the problem with rpgs is they give me a headache because i have a hard time controlling the character... you go on running in circular directions... it gives me a headache...














and i rarely have patience for long games. these are the reasons why i enjoyed fighting games, nba live, and nfl











i am literally stuck in call of duty 4 in this certain stage so i stopped playing it and now i am playing zelda...












and sadly it makes me look like a moron.... REALLY!












it took me a while to realize that i could use the eagle to get the crib from the stupid monkey... but now i'm stuck trying to get the fish....












a freaking FISH!!!!!!!!













WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





ok, i'll look online for tips on how to get the fish....





SIDE NOTE:

the only rpg game that i finished is harry potter in the ps1... i know.. how sad.... and geeky....

the closest cool rpg game that i finished was pokemon in nintendo gameboy... and it was only cool cause everybody else was playing it...

is it just me or does rodney stuckey look a lot like floyd mayweather look? REALLY!!

ok i don't have that much time in my hands right now... but do you think these two look a like?

i happen to think they look a lot similar... check out these pictures and observe...

Floyd Mayweather - 5-division champion who is yet to lose (i wanna see him fight PACMAN and HE WILL MOST PROBABLY HAVE HIS RECORD TAINTED... FINALLY!)


Rodney Stuckey - starting point guard for the pistons. he replaced chauncey when they traded him for AI (who was taken out of the rotation.... i hope AI gets signed by another team next season)

so honestly, do they look a like? i'm not being racist at all here. i just think they look similar... i wonder of they're like second cousins or something...




what do you guys think?

pwede na ulit kumain ng meat... YEY!

GRANDE ISLAND SUCKS AND I"M OFFICIALLY BOYCOTTING THAT RESORT!!

well, presly, cat, mia, nadine and i went to subic two days ago... we went to grande island (which was a BIG, BIG MISTAKE) and ocean adventure (which was awesome). we have a couple of pics and vids but i won't post 'em yet. i won't even blog about our fun trip together since i'm not yet in the mood (as i am currently suffering from the molar tooth extraction i got yesterday). anyway, grande island pretty much ripped us off and since i am not getting a reply from management, i thought it would be nice to share my grievance to the online community. here's a copy of the complaint letter that i sent to their management:

April 08, 2009


To Whom It May Concern,

I alongside four of my friends stayed in your resort from April 6-7, 2009. When we got to the seaport, we were immediateely asked to pay prior to our visit to the resort. We were informed that the two packages available are as follows:
Php 1,650 - accomodation, three meals, one banana boat ride, free use of volleyball and other stuff... we would however have to pay for the use of ATVs, kayak, raft, etc.
Php 2,200 - accomodation, three meals, unlimited use of banana boat, ATV (15 min intervals), towable rides, kayak, raft, etc...

Upon our arrival, we were quite happy with how the manager received us since he was friendly UNTIL the personnel in charge informed us that the watersports amenities (raft, kayaks, etc.) were not available because they do not work. What made this disappointing is the fact that we inquired in the seaport if all of these amenities are available and they said yes. The explanation given to us in the front desk is the personnel in charge of the watersports did not make any mention of broken gagdets, therefore they may have been saying it is working even if it is not. Another dismaying excuse is the fact that the use of rides are subject to availability. Given that a lot of people are on vacation because it is summer and holy week is approaching, we were amenable that we would fall in line when there are people waiting to use the rides. HOWEVER, the fact that they are claimed to be NOT WORKING means that the sales department SHOULD HAVE NOT INFORMED US THAT WE WOULD HAVE UNLIMITED USE OF THESE RIDES FOR THE Php 2,200 PACKAGE. HOW CAN WE USE SOMETHING THAT IS NOT WORKING? We thought it would be JUST FAIR for us to ask for a refund of Php 550 per person the following day because what was PROMISED in the Php 2,200 package were NOT AVAILABLE DURING OUR STAY but the front desk personnel said it is not possible for them to do it. And since the manager is out until 5 PM, we had nobody to address our concern to. I think this is really UNJUST because the customers did not get what they paid for. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING... The personnel claimed that the only thing they could do is to address this concern so that it would not happen in the future. To be honest, most businesses would give free souvenirs or freebies to compensate for their shortcomings. Management did not do any form of compensation. To make things worse, 2 hourse after the incident, when we got back to the seaport, we asked the personnel regarding the available packages and they still said the exact same thing DESPITE the complaint we gave.

Earlier in the resort, I asked for a customer satisfaction survey which the personnel said was not available. It is hardly believable but to address this concern, I wrote a handwritten complaint and they said I could also said an e-mail regarding this VERY DISMAL event. I do not know how long this complaint will go and if your management will do anything to resolve this issue (considering it still persists) but this is the least that I could do.

Truly,

Bien Landicho



sorry for the possible typos because i did not proof read the letter.


ALWAYS REMEMBER, GRANDE ISLAND SUCKS SO DON'T BOTHER WASTING YOUR MONEY THERE!!!!

so it is Php 11,000 down the drain for us in grande island but i enjoyed ocean adventure and the company of my great, great friends! FRIENDS FOR LIFE! =)

SIDE NOTE:
oh! and we also went to duty-free for pasalubong and to buy stuff that are not available in manila (e.g. craisins).. did you guys know the products sold there would expire within a month after purchase? i'm currently eating pringles spicy guacamole that would expire in may 2009.. hehe..

oh i believe in yesterday....

ok... so yesterday did not turn out to be the best day but it was actually quite fun! we planned to have the sushi buffet in sakae sushi but things sort of got delayed and when i was finally on my way to The Fort, the car won't start. the battery sort of got discharged. i think i might have left the headlights on... so i told my dad i'll just take a cab but he insisted everything'll be fine so... hmmm i don't know the term, pinatulak yung car para magstart yung ignition? basta yun! the battery recharges while it's on so i thought everything's gonna be alright or so i thought... you guys know what's coming!

when i reached the fort, i sort of got lost on my way to sakae cause it is in a secluded area near s&r and i took a wrong turn. so when i was about to call cat, i parked in the side and i forgot to put the car in neutral and when i stopped, the engine died....














and it wouldn't start....... =(













SHIT! so i put the car on hazzard, got out and sort of looked like a hitch hiker asking cabs and private cars to help me out. charge my battery, push the car and stuff...













NOBODY heeded my call... WOOT! so, i noticed there was a construction site to my right and i waved at the foreman and he sent five workers to help me out! after which, i emptied my pocket... i wanted to give them all the change i had (and i do keep a lot of coins in my pocket) but they refused to accept it. probably one of the many heartwarming gestures i ever had. so i told nadine i 'll just drop by to say hi and i'll go straight home... presly then said, just meet us in serendra. we'll eat there. so i decided to go home.. couldn't turn off the engine anymore otherwise it won't start again. i was very nervous on my way home cause if the engine dies, i dunno where i could ask for help and i did not want to text my dad cause i don't want to get him worried....





i finally made it home-accident free! yey! and then presly said we could still eat dinner in sakae (oh! they're closed from 2-7pm so they missed sakae as well)... so they wanted to pick me up from my place but the directions were kind of hard to understand... so i told them i'll just meet them there...







lo and behold, the car started again and it was fine! my dad said it probably recharged already on my way home.... so i picked up my sis, brought her home and went straight to the fort where i'll be pissed off with my friend. hehe... there was a misunderstanding but at the end of the day we're ok... =) right?








so as if the day has not been effed up for us, turns out the sushi buffet is only available on weekends! and we don't really like sakae unless it's sushi buffet... no ala cartes please! so we decided to go to el pueblo (from the fort) to eat where mia and i would get lost(we took the wrong lane)! wooot! we were already in pateros! hahahahaha! we just kept on driving til we saw lanuza ave and that was the start of the smile. we just went to city golf and ate in uncle moe's.... one of the best shawarmas ever! and then i brought mia home and i got home around 1140... walang traffic! went back to the fort first to try out the buendia exit! hehehehe=)










we're off to subic tom! YEY! and there are problems with transportation... dad won't let me drive to subic cause he said the cars are too fast... =(



so it's either cat's driver or commute for us now.... my dad recommended the ferry that goes to corregidor and then we could take an FX to subic... haaayyyy......











anyway, i feel like i became stronger because of what happened yesterday... first time ko magstart ng ignition sa tulak ever! WOOOOOT! *applause*

and another lesson is to always check your headlights!





SIDE NOTE:
i told my dad, di ka ba proud na start ko yung ignition sa tulak?

he said, sus! kasimple nun eh!



hahaha! thanks a lot! =)

i'll get a job soon...

ok, being a bum doesn't work well for me... i wasn't able to get the bike and i feel really sad about it... turns out i have to buy the more expensive ones because the one i had my eyes on is good til 170-180 pounds only and i weigh.... NO I'M NOT TELLING YOU! hehe... anyway, my mom said i could keep the money she gave me... it serves as my grad gift... so i think i'll get a wii fit. =)

my experiment did not work so well. when i was getting the cup of water to see the results of my water evaporation experiment, the cup was gone and i lost interest in going for a second try so nevermind. but i checked on it a couple of hours after i placed it outside and the water did go down. my dad said i should have done this experiment when i was in kinder. hahahaha! later that night, he was doing silhouettes in the light. he was doing a talking deer so i told him, dad, you should have done that in kinder as well. =))

i got my first bentosa treatment ever and it turns out i have a lot of colds in my legs! bentosa is cool! it IS the SHIT! i feel lighter. anyway, i'm excited for lunch later. i'm meeting my friends(presly, cat, nadine, mia(?)) in The Fort to have lunch. I'll be with them two days from now to Subic! WOOOT!

anyway, after our trip, i'll start looking for a job cause i could see my money disappearing right before my eyes. it's sad but it's reality. i can't mooch off my parents forever and my parents are doing a good job not giving me money so i should really get a job so i could have money to spend already.. but i still have enough for like 3 months. pero still, i should get one by the end of April. I'll start applying next monday since we'll be back here in manila on friday. WOOOOOT!

SIDE NOTE:
i damaged the car cause i did not notice the gutter had a huge hump and the street was really small. my dad said he'll take care of it. i said i would pay for the damages but he got pissed.

he said, wag mo ko daanin sa pera at wala ka pang trabaho!

and i said, naguiguilty kasi ako. ako may kasalanan eh! ano dapat kong gawin?

he said, kalimutan mo na lang! ok lang naman kasi!

i said, well, sorry talaga.....

he said, wala ka namang kasalanan kasi masikip talaga doon.. pasong tamo na lang next time ha?

i said, ok, sorry...

then i called nadine cause she calms me down and makes me feel everything'll be ok... thanks nads! =) see you guys in 2 hours or so... =)

hotta! hotta!

i felt like it was a hundred degrees today and it won't even be in farenheit, CENTIGRADE!

despite the fact that it rains, the ground easily gets dried up because it's so hot! precisely my point. the heat is enough to evaporate water! i'm thinking of doing an experiment tom. i'll leave a cup of water outside our house tom and see how much of it would be left by night. i think it'd be interesting. DON'T YOU THINK SO?? haaaayyy... iba na talaga ang bored.

anyway, i was actually pretty busy today. jc, tim, kish and i worked on our paper and we decided to delegate the other stuff to those who did not go to the meeting. so i hope they'd get the job done tom cause everything's in their hands already! i think we did well earlier though.

after we finished working on our paper, i decided to drop by jav's place first. my decision was based on the following reasons:

1.) my sis was already on her way home from the baguio bus terminal (makes sense?) so she no longer needs me to pick her up
2.) my other sis is on a date
3.) i will be alone when i go home
4.) i don't want to run errands today. I'M ON VACATION HERE... HELLO!
5.) our drinking session was cancelled last night because of our paper (btw, we did not drink)
6.) i miss my friends... =)

so thank you jav, tito and tita for stuffing our stomachs with two family pan sized pizzas (three of us finished everything... hahaha) and jav, you're welcome for all the files you got from my laptop... hahaha!

anyway, sigit told me about this HS teacher job in indonesia. at first, i thought teacher? for my first job? in a diff country? but then he told me standard of living is cheap and i would earn a thousand to a thousand five hundred USD. so i changed my mind. hehehe... that'd be way more than what i'd earn here so i gave him my resume and hopefully, i'll be qualified. (crosses fingers)

tomorrow, i'll be getting my advance birthday gift-stationary bike! WOOOOT! i'd also get my ipod to stereo jack and jav said we might go out... ano na updates dun?

SIDE NOTE:
jav and dio said there's a "party place" on top of starbucks pearl plaza called 6 underground and it sucks that i study in UAP and i've never been there... i was like, it's ok! who the f**k parties in front of the school anyway? hahaha! so he said i was a nerd (and i would admit, there's some truth to this, hehe...) but i thought i'd stab him back..




you see, he was delayed for graduation cause he was deferred (he already graduated, otherwise i would not joke about this) so i told him:





I might be a nerd BUT at least I am not DEFERRED!



(sana nga, wala pang grades eh... hehe)



wahahahaha! take that! have fun nga pala sa date(?) niyo ni celine.... WOOOOOT! :D





i wonder how the earth day went? hmmmm....

i don't like this but i'll bear with it

i honestly thought school was over... today's supposed to be my first day of vacation but presly kept on bugging me about the powerpoint and i won't say i enjoyed how we argued earlier. most of the time it's fun arguing with him but sometimes it gets a li'l bit too edgy. but all's well that ends well.

i wanted to buy an ipod to stereo jack and a stationary bike but i obviously couldn't leave the house today cause i'm coding. my dad asked me to run some errands (go to the bank and pay the bills using our top of the line PUVs of course) and i was pretty much stuck in the house watching twilight, made of honor and FRIENDS. i was supposed to go to my friend's (philip from HS) place tonight (after coding hours) to hang out but i just found out i gotta be in school early tomorrow to revise our paper and jav has another thing later at 9 so we decided to reschedule. so i'm a li'l pissed that i wasn't able to go out tonight and surely i'm not happy i won't be able to buy my shit tom but hopefully we get to finish our paper so we won't have anything for next week anymore. anyway, i'm excited about the stationary bike cause my uncle broke the other one. i wanted to get a treadmill (tama ba spelling?) but it would take too much space and i intend to keep this in my bedroom cause stuff tend to get broken whenever my uncle uses them. love ya tito!

anyway, i better get some sleep cause it'll be a long morning for me. can't wait to hang out at flip's (again, from HS) tom evening. i'll just buy my ipod jack and bike on sunday.. i hope i would remember to bring my econmet book and extension line tom.

au revoir!
