Those Other Computer Thingies
Today the world is getting smaller in terms of inter connectivity thanks to Internet. We all know the Internet, you know, created for the purpose of exchanging insightful ideas but later tarnished by people who are into furry, scat and other horrible fetishes.
A lot of common everyday stuff is now computer assisted with names that has letter E or I at the beginning like E-Mail, E-Brochure, E-Poke and I-Pad . I am a blogger, a Facebook user and a regular guy who participates in some online message boards, but still there are some computer things that does not apply for me, I just can’t feel it.
My own personal Twitter account
I read some Twits from some celebrities, news sites and friends but I just can’t have my very own Twitter page. I am not that guy who is always connected to the net and starts showering everyone with my updates, clicking the like button left and right and being just active in social media.
Homer Knows Twitter
They say its like a lite version of Facebook status thing, but in Facebook I don’t regularly post statuses, even in this “best time-wasting blog ever ®”, I can’t write anything in regular basis even I do love writing stuff.
Banking, ordering stuff and anything involves with money via the net
The closest thing that I have done with e-banking is just checking out my savings balance online. Even it is user-friendly I still prefer physical contact when I do money transactions. I think it is more reliable talking and interacting with people than rereading FAQs that mostly filled up with bank jargon that may sound gibberish to you.
The Masked Internet Robber at work
I still don’t trust the series of tubes called the Internet when it comes on ordering and transacting stuff online. When I want to have my food delivered I rather dial their delivery number. If there is something I want to buy that is available locally, I will just drive there and buy that stuff. If the stuff is not available locally and can only avail abroad, I just move on especially if it is just a novelty item.
Using Facebook Applications
I only use Facebook for statuses, viewing photos, clicking links and watching videos. Using miscellaneous applications that rampaging throughout the tubes of Facebook is not my thing.
A Super Poke (citation needed)
Some will super-poke me expecting to super-poke them back and receiving lots and lots of gaming or application requests that fills up my notification page that I will drop, probably after a year later.
Reading a whole E-Book in a computer screen
Maybe read an E-Book with less than 20 pages is tolerable enough but reading a complete more than 20 pages E-Book via your screen is nerve wrecking and make my eyes hurt worse than my Bells Palsy experience. The current rush of touch screen products like iPad makes reading E-Books easier. But, having the real physical book is still better than reading E-book for its sheer convenience in reading.
also a good storage for your orange gun collection
Reading a text heavy in a screen with light-colored background is like staring directly in a tungsten light bulb.
Playing online games
The last time I played an online game is way back in my freshmen years in college. Counterstrike is the most popular online game back then and my old computer can actually run that game. Later, when a surge of online games, mostly RPGs popularize by Ragnarök, starts sprouting like flowers I just did not feel like playing it with LAN parties, real competition that encompasses across the world.
and at the same time they are planning a real world domination
via the power of Internet
I love videogames but I just can’t see myself dealing with very complex games and I don’t want to throw some money just to get some good stuff in the games. I still play quick flash-based games from time to time but current wave of online gaming is not my cup of tea.
Listening to podcast
I love listening to radio, it’s already a ritual for me to tune in to Magic 89.9 whenever I drive to work in the morning, and later setting the radio to Jam 88.3 while driving back to good old Las Pinas City. I also listen to online radios but listening to podcast, especially the ones primarily focusing on speaking and no audio or music support whatsoever is not appealing for me, it’s so darn boring.
Seeing guys bored to death is more entertaining
Majority of podcasters out there sounds monotonous and not entertaining. Some of them are just randomly rambling about anything and you wish you can go to that podcasters house, get his wired mic and strangle him with an ease.
You are most likely into the stuff I mentioned above but like what I always say, different strokes for different folks, you may like Twitter but you don’t want to blog yet I like to blog but I don’t want to create and be active over at Twitter. I like the whole internet thing because we can communicate with other people easier; relive nostalgic things in various ways; and of course torrent downloading but some stuff in computer and Internet thingy that I just can’t see myself using in a regular basis.
Top Twelve: My Favorite Movies of All Time
I love movies, I am a movie buff, its my stress reliever, its my anti-drug or something. I vividly remember before the internet offered me free movie downloads via the torrent, there was a thing called movie rental, in Betamax format. In our neighborhood, my favorite video rental store is quite convenient, wherein just dial their number, browse to their list of available tapes and their delivery guy will immediate brings you the Betamax via a bike, oh sweet memories.
Anyway, here are my top twelve favorite movies of all time, well so far. Some of the popular movies for extreme movie buffs like Shawshank Redemption and others are not included in this list since I have not watched those movies. The list is strictly that comes first on my mind and fond memories from it.
12. Toy Story
The very first full CGI movie and I fell in love with it for its sheer beauty. The premise was simple, kiddie yet awesome. Everyone can relate since one way or another we had experiences playing with toys. The story is clever and every toy in Andy’s room is oozing with life and personality, even the little toys are well animated and looks like the real thing.
Not the real thing I am talking about
The voice actors are top-notch and for being the first full CGI movie, they did a great job. Even it has reruns on Disney Channel I am never sick of it. I love both sequels but the first one was my favorite CGI animated movie of all time.
11. Batman Mask of the Phantasm
Next to Superman, Batman is my second favorite comic character of all time, but I think Combatron will still kick both their asses good. Anyway, I am a big fan of Batman the Animated Series and sometimes I watched some of the episodes via Youtube. I like the way they combine some elements from the sought after Year One and Year Two graphic novels into one stylized adult oriented animation. If you close your eyes, the animated movie sounds like a live action movie.
Batusi not included
Explosions, blood and realistic violence pounds the screen, and I think the only missing is someone from the movie actually say an appropriate swear word.
10. Back to the Future
My favorite Science Fiction of all time and I absolutely love the Delorian Time Machine. The whole trilogy was memorable but just like the Toy Story trilogy, the first one is still the best in my opinion. The film blew my mind and I remember repeatedly watching it over and over, via of course, a rented Betamax tape. The whole time traveling concept from top to bottom was well executed even at first I had trouble figuring all the time line continuum mishaps. The chemistry between Doc and Marty are top-notch and I just love how same actors and actresses portray different roles in different time lines. When I was a kid, I wish our old Mitsubishi Lambda is a real Delorian Time Machine so I can go back to the past and to the future.
If you squint, it does look like the Delorian Time Machine
Lastly, Einstein the dog, the first living creäture to experience time travel, is plain awesome, yes you are, yes you are.
9. Jurassic Park
Another epic masterpiece of Steven Spielberg where everything he touches turn gold. Good casting and the dinosaurs (both CGI and animatronics) are convincingly awesome. The T-Rex and the velociraptor duo gave me nightmares back then. The sequels were kind of hit and miss especially the third one when the dinosaurs became genius in some way.
Genius Dinosaur = Terrifying
The action scenes involving the dinosaurs were realistically terrifying, and who can forget that guy that was bite off by a T-Rex while hiding inside of a mini bathroom? This is my second favorite Science Fiction movie of all time.
8. Hot Shots Part Deux
My favorite kind of comedy is the one relies purely on slapstick. Both the first and second Hot Shots film were comedic gold but Part Deux takes the cake for absolutely the funniest movie of all time, well in my opinion of course. The movie also boasts the most number of body count in a movie ever, at that time, an astounding 249 bodies which died in tons of hilarious fashion, beating Robocop and Total Recall’s combined body count.
MTRCB is not amused
I miss this kind of comedies since a plethora of current comedies relies more with shock and a bit of gore in the side. Also, using a chicken as your arrow is also effective in killing enemies.
7. Goodfellas
Next to comedies, my most favorite movie genre is more on with action, with guns, violence and more guns. Goodfellas is one the best mafia movies and every one in the cast delivered authentic and awesome acting. Ray Liotta’s portrayal of a real gangster Henry Hill is frighteningly amusing. On the other hand Joe Pesci’s character has intense fetish of saying the word fuck all the time.
Can you pack this sheet for me,
I need your fax machine, I need to fax her later
The violence aspect is over the top, realistic and gritty. Some others say the film it is like a realistic mafia violence porn, beating the equally violent Godfather trilogy. The movie is known for its violence yet the story is still good and you can actually see the main character Henry Hill growing up before our eyes, dealing with police, his mafia BFFs, his wife and his other wife, its like a condensed local soap opera, but more blood and more Pesci’s F-bomb shenanigans
6. Scarface
Of course, who can forget Al Pacino’s memorable psychotic portrayal of one cocaine powered Tony Montana. One of the grandeur movies in the 80s and one of the rare aspects presented in the movies back then is the sheer rawness and in your face approach of all the characters, including that guy that has his face sliced off like cheese via a cheese grater presented in a form of a chainsaw.
Cheese grater
They say the movie is like the junior son of the Godfather trilogy wherein Don Corleone is the calm daddy and Tony Montana is your typical problem child that raises hell in school. Definitely one of the best gangster movies ever produced.
5. Terminator 2
The movie that defines that 90s, well except futuristic time traveling death bringer cyborgs from the future. The first Terminator was one the landmarks in cinema history with its special effects and brain farting inducing time travel concept but Terminator 2 pushed it further with more explosive actions, impressive CGI effects and of course, a great storyline. I just wished they did not show in the trailers that Arnie will be the good guy in this film. The enemy, however, is one big bad scary guy who can do a lot of things with his hands like it turns into stainless blade that can make you slice and dice. He is scary in everything, his stare, his stance, his gesture, even asking you if you know the guy in the photo he is showing is scary.
Him: Do you know this person in the picture? Me: Aahh!
If you want to know more about the 90s, watch this, if you like 2 cyborg death machines from the future destroying some parts of LA, like a local mall and a foundry, watch this. Like the other movies in this list, if it shows locally in movie channels, I still watch and enjoy it.
4. Black Hawk Down
Based from the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, this is one of the rare movies that there is no definite lead protagonist which is a great breather from the usual war movies that has its own lead good guy. We got a few minutes of movie opening and then bam, lots of lots shootout and real casualties for the good guys.
NES renditions of 2 Black Hawk Helicopters before being shot down
The film is one of the most intense war movies ever produced because us, the viewers, are on the edge of the seat watching every single war scene, its like we are in a real war zone where in we are the camera guys following and documenting the rangers and marines fighting their way in Mogadishu just to capture a few guys but ended up fighting for whole freaking day, adding the unforeseen crash of two Black Hawk helicopters, another addition to already stressful battle with angry Somalian mob. Definitely a must watch for war and action movie buffs.
3. The Dark Knight
My favorite Superhero based movie so far. Nolan, the director, impressed the Batman fans with his earlier film, Batman Begins, the much-needed reboot of the franchise after the last Bat film that was obviously Batman on Ice complete with ice skating. The sequel, is definite the cream of the crop of superhero movies. Bales’ performance is superb but the villains outshines everyone in the film, Aaron Ekhart as Two-Face and Heath Ledger, Heath effin Ledger was effin outstanding.
Guy in prison suit: not Heath Effin Ledger
I feel the movie is something like my number one choice in this list but with comic book characters. I love Nolan’s stand on using realistic stunts instead of relying it completely on CGI, giving us a lot of holy shit moments, like that truck flipping scene, that shit was insane, I need to calm down.
2. Saving Private Ryan
The innovator of shaky cam complimented with lots and lots of freshly machine-gunned dead bodies. One of the most realistically terrifying war movies ever made. The first 20 minutes is one of the must unforgettable intro ever, because I see lots of machines gun shredding allied soldiers while Tom Hanks becoming Omega Tom Hanks leading his men to victory.
Omega Tom Hanks also dominates the fighting game world
Like Black Hawk Down, all the war sequences are terrifyingly realistic but in bigger scale, this is World War 2 after all. You can feel for the characters risking their lives just to find a certain Private Ryan. Lots of explosions, world war 2 authentic weaponry including the scene hilarious backfiring of sticky bomb and gruesome gore that you don’t want to see in life.
1. Heat
My absolute favorite movie all time and it stars two of Hollywood’s greatest actors, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. The movie is best remembered for the Los Angeles street shoot out but aside from that, the whole movie is well written and packaged.
Figure 1.1 An Angry De NiroA very good crime drama and I love Michael Mann, the director and writer of the film, treated both Al and Robert as not your ordinary protagonist and antagonist. If you watch it its like watching two separate movies, one focus on Pacino’s character dealing his messed up family at the same time trying to stop De Niro’s reign of “heisting” terror. The other one is De Niro’s straight to the point attitude in planning and implementing his next heist and at the same time still maintaining his humanity like having a somewhat decent relationship with his girlfriend and making sure keeping his men on the line.
When two finally meet, epic showdown and unforgettable quotes starts throwing toward the viewers.
They are currently throwing unforgettable quotes to you.
This movie is one of the reasons why I love action movies and one of my overall main inspirations of the novel that I am writing, which is still not finished (damn it).
That’s my list of my top twelve favorite movies of a time, I hope you enjoyed wasting your time reading this list.
The Late Yakimix Valentines Date
My original plan was to take Rein dinner in either Yakimix or Saisaki back in February 14 for valentine’s day of course, but a disaster strikes, an effin bells palsy slaps and distorted the left side of my face. Currently, I am 70-80% recovered from the bells palsy and I will just waste your time with my bells palsy story probably in the next entry. Since I am in a way functional and I finally got to bring Rein for a late valentines date, I want to talk about our little dinner in a restaurant called Yakimix. You may consider this my first restaurant review in blog format.
Japanese foods, not WTF
So we went to Yakimix at SM Mall of Asia and as expected, the place was already packed. We waited for our turn and fortunately, the turnaround was unexpectedly faster and the table was already neatly polished before we laid down our tired butts on the chairs. Yakimix is kind of the love child of Saisaki for their Japanese buffet goodness and Tong Yang for their on the table grille complete with a piece of a tong wherein you can act like one of the overacting Japanese Iron Chefs and their chairman.
Iron Chef Chairman: The Final boss of food
I for one, absolutely loved Japanese food even if they have a lot of what the fuck moments over there but their collection of food concoctions is the best. The very first set I graciously munched was a big plate of every sushi available at the buffet area. I am a glutton when it comes to sushi. Even if the sushi creation was not a familiar one, I will still try to eat it.
Fish are friends
There is something about sushi that I absolutely love. Back when I was younger, I can eat more than 2 plates of sushi before heading to the main course. Now, one big plate is good enough for me. Afterward we start collecting our choices of fresh meat and seafood in the buffet area and placed it in our grill set up in the middle of our table. Good thing the machine is smoke less and the noise of the grill is not distracting.
Failed Iron Chef
Just like in Tong Yang, your tummy starts screaming profanity while you wait for your food doing his self grilling thing before shoving up in your mouth in full force, of course, in delight. The result of each grill is, in an over acting expert food blogger term, exquisite. Every meat and seafood we threw in the grill came out good, just right and in another over acting food blogger term, ambrosial.
I am cooking, I am cooking
We end the dinner by munching lavish and mouth-watering desserts. They offer a good variety of desserts like cakes, ice creams, salads, fruits and ice pops. I ate strawberry and mango ice cream while Rein indulged in fruits. In the end, we enjoyed eating at Yakimix. The only thing that I did not like is their first serving of the drinks. We already finished the sushi set yet our ordered drinks have not arrived yet. Our drinks arrived before we head to our main course and from that, the waiters are kind of refill addicts wherein you just drank 10% of your drink, they will immediately teleport behind you and refills your drink. Maybe a minor annoyance but a good compensation for their slow first drinks service.
Overall, me and Rein highly recommend Yakimix. I spent around 1,300 for both of us and I think the price was just right, just be ready because the restaurant, in all branches are notorious fully packed even in early hours.
Heavenly Unhealthy
It is very well documented that I love food invented by food scientists wearing fecal colored laboratory attire called apron and rubber gloves called bare hands. Philippines is known for diverse and creative food concoctions that can kill you while still smiling in delight.
Locally, pork is one of the most popular main ingredient and we all know over excessive consumption of pig meat can lead to many sickness and even deaths. Last year, I got a terrifying high blood measurement due to my insane daily habit of eating beef and pork, even in breakfast. As you enjoy indulging yourself with this kind of food, the cholesterol is happily doing his job somewhere inside your body.
Picture above: Happy Cholesterol
Good thing I managed to have my blood pressure lowered and reduced my weight as well. Still I sometimes eat pork food especially that but not as frequent as before, and I drink hard only if there is an occasion or rare reunions with some old buddies.
Here, in our dear old country, our fellow country men has one of the greatest and strongest internal organs ever. Even of all kinds of pork powered food you can come up with, they will still withstand every ounce of it, unless Grim Reaper decided to just effed it, clogged your arteries and add you to his collection of death by over abundance of waxy steroid metabolite, or simply cholesterol.
We are notorious of pigging out especially on big time event. Some people are finding any slight reason to call it as an occasion like a funeral of someone you only met a few times or get together like someone is going abroad the following day just to have a festive feast of munching fats and lard like there is no tomorrow. Even if you are running out of money you still need to throw your money just to eat deadly foods accompanied with dosage of alcohol drinks.
In the middle of alcohol training
Speaking of deadly foods, one of my most favorite deadly food is all time is sisig, and only recently I discovered and tasted the genesis of sisig. We had an ocular somewhere in Pampanga for a client event and later decided to find and have a hearty lunch at the holy grail of pig part’s goodness, the Aling Lucing’s sisig restaurant. We had a hard time looking for the restaurant since we are looking for the railway landmark. Luckily, we found it after a shirtless bystander pointed us to the eatery. The railway landmark was also nearby but we realized that it does not look like a railway anymore because all the metal railings were gone, probably chopped apart by the same shirtless bystander and sold to a metal junk shop to have another alcohol and sisig budget.
I already tried the self labeled best sisigs around the metro but I must say, the Aling Lucing’s sisig’s…. sisig is the best damn sisig ever. So god damn good, tastes different, so freaking good, so heavenly yet not healthy. There is something about their sisig that is so unique, everything is well prepared and not thrown together by a sweaty, fat pseudo-chef.
Even I was always in Pampanga especially during my elementary days, this is the only time I managed be graced upon with the Aling Lucing’s sisig. Unfortunately, Aling Lucing herself was tragically murdered in 2008 and the killer was her husband. Her daughter, which looks like Aling Lucing is now doing all the God’s work in their restaurant.
The writer of the best time waster blog ever endorses his first endorsement ever.
Later, each one of us took one sisig take out for home and I introduced the Aling Lucing sisig to Rein, and when she tasted it, she starts head banging in delight, well not actually head banging but she enjoyed every minute of biting and digesting pig’s greatest contribution to humanity.
Remember, meat has still essential nutrients that enable us to do things that puts money on the table.Eating unhealthy foods that scuba dived in cooking oils should still be taken in moderation. We can still eat beef and pork for the sheer enjoyment of eating dead animals who are probably cursing with every curse word known to universe at us on their afterlife.
Year One of Nocturnalfrolicking Around – a very long rambling
The first year anniversary of writing something
This is my second longest running blog in the history… so far. My first blog, created way back in my college days, which is already deleted and thrown somewhere by the gods of Blogspot, packed with a lot of emotional nonsensical nonsense and unmentionables… it was horrible and the only one viewing are my ex girlfriend and some ex classmates.
Just like what I wrote before, one of the primary reasons why I blog is to improve my brain, because I have a short-term memory loss of some sort and I tend to forget things easily. I read in some articles to improve memory is just simply read and write a lot. Right now, I think writing to this time waster blog really helped me a lot. It improved my memory and voilà, I can remember things easier today. As I write this, I now remembered that I really love to write stuff ever since the first time I wrote something on our wall with a marker pen.
Writing: The Early Years
Looking back way back in elementary, one of my favorite things to aside from illustrating, drooling all over the place and defending why Sega Megadrive kicks more ass over Super Nintendo is to write. I just write anything and doodling some stuff on top part of every page of my notebook. My classmates called it as patalastas or in English, commercials. Back in my Grade 5 days, I actually wrote and drew a comic series entitled Deadly Planet, a play on Superman’s Daily Planet. Packed with forgettable visuals, horrible storylines, it’s just hodge-podge of every pop culture back then.
I think I made around 10 comics back then, all written and drawn in newsprint, stapled and given to some of my classmates. I just treated it nothing as a time passer, which in a way, planted the seeds to the future version of me wasting reader’s time by writing time-wasting articles.
When I hit high school and being acquainted with good music, I started writing poetry, even song lyrics on my spare, non videogame time. I think I filled 2 notebooks that I still carried over in college. Currently, I have no idea where the hell were those 2 notebooks, maybe they are somewhere in my room. Speaking of writing song lyrics, me and some of old classmates even thought of starting a band named “Nocturnal Frolic” but never pushed through, I was the designated drummer.
College time, aside from poem writing, I became more interested on reading books, especially thriller novels by Lawrence Block and Tom Clancy, and graphic novels by Marvel and DC Comics. I start buying and collecting novelty books like The Simpsons Guide and High Score: The History of Videogames. I think there are some books left somewhere in my room that I haven’t finished reading.
During my fourth year in college and I was in the middle of one of the most dreaded phases in college life, to write and create a big ass freaking thesis. After presenting and receiving rejections to a number of proposals, I ran out of ideas to present. Later I just decided since I love to play Grand Theft Auto games in the old PS2, I made a proposal of an interactive graphic novel with a premise of GTA style storyline and called it as The Misinformed.
Fortunately, I got my well seek approval for my proposal, and my first big challenge is to write the main story, oh boy, that was hard and I have a week to finish. In the end, after completing the first story it was the time to make it into a workable interactive graphic novel. Nitpicking with Flash, Photoshop, Soundforge and Director, I finished the thesis, defended it for 2 freaking hellish hours, and I got a 2.5 grade or 85%. I only made 2 copies of the project, one is safely locked in my old alma mater and the other one… was missing.
Since I already have the Misinformed short story, I decided to expand it to a very long novel that after almost 10 years of writing, it is still not finished and locked away somewhere inside of my computer. The title was also changed to “The Memoirs of the Warman”. Right now, I hope I can finish the novel and hopefully have it published.
The Content
One of the most challenging aspects on creating and maintaining a blog is what will be the blog’s overall content. Originally, I wanted the blog focuses solely on graphic design but with the great amount of graphic design blogs out there and have potential limited content ideas because a lot of them were already using it, I might run out of topics immediately.
My second choice is to make it as a blog about the soap opera for men, wrestling. Sadly, wrestling, the fixed kind is still a minority here locally and the market over here consists mostly of gossip addicts and fad exploiters.
One of my old plans have a Youtube channel, and start ripping horrible Filipino movies ala Nostalgia Critic especially the comedy ones that have nonsensical dance numbers and climaxes always end up in an abandoned warehouses. Fortunately it didn’t happen because foremost I suck on acting, second I have a terrible stage fright and third, I realized I love watching old Filipino movies for its sheer absurdity and awesomeness.
Since Internet and social media is already a norm today and I, myself, an Internet addict and participating to many message boards that deals with a lot of things for years, I just say effed it and just write anything under the sun. My main inspiration of this approach is of course, one of my favorite websites of all time, Cracked.com, which covers a lot of interesting topics. I just emulated some of their writing style and treats all the topics as collections of ramblings. Granted, Cracked.com have a number of writers under their wing and this blog is a one man writing time killing contents just to please on whoever reads my ramblings.
Most of the time I can’t think anything to write, even if I have a topic on my mind, the creative juices betrays me to write something coherent from the idea. I threw a lot of topics and some of them were already 80% photo finish because I felt I can write something better.
Marketing it as a time waster blog
Since most of my writings are not actually help save the world in any way and basically just waste your time, I christened this site’s secondary designation, as THE BEST TIME WASTER BLOG EVER… of course, self-proclaimed and not endorsed even known by the elites around the local blogosphere.
A bottom of the barrel time waster blog with real traffic?
This little blog in a way, was a success. I never expected that this little part-time stuff is actually getting traffic, even though there are only a few comments, but the important thing is someone is actually reading all the things I wrote for the past year.
The Gods of WordPress sent me the following:
The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:

Well, what can I say.. the blog had a successful run in 2010, I hope the blog will do better this year of 2011.
Moving on and what the hell is a Nocturnalfrolic?
As I celebrate in a way the first year of my blog, I want to say thank you and yes, I will explain where and how the hell I got the Nocturnalfrolic moniker. Nocturnalfrolic is simply an insomniac guy having fun. Well, today, I prefer to catch more zzzs than bum around during the ungodly hours. I originally got the name from my older brother, the name of his “posse”. I remembered seeing a very old 80s style sticker with the words Nocturnalfrolic on it, placed it in their vintage 80s DJ equipment.
They were into disco and euphoric music that guarantees that can make any sleepyhead awake. I just unofficially inherited the name and used as a moniker since I, during my teenage and college days, is always awake and doing something, productive or not, till a hint of sunrise appears.
There you go, I am celebrating the blog’s first years anniversary by doing what I do best when I am not doing anything productive, just watching TV or DVD with Rein, while munching heavenly unhealthy foods while drinking sugar powered drinks.
Thank you for visiting my blog and I will write more time-wasting ramblings, movie reviews and graphic design topics for you loyal readers in the future. MARAMING SALAMAT PO SA PAGBABASA NG AKING BLOG
