Between Iron Man and Mortal Kombat

Friday, July 02, 2010

Here I go back again to my habits of playing out of the blue. I held my psp in the middle of the week and downloaded some new games. It was Iron Man 2 and the ever favorite fighting game Mortal Kombat. Let me start by telling you a little about how the Iron Man 2 game works.

Iron Man 2 is actually based from the movie of the same title. In this particular game Tony Stark definitely resembles his movie actor and gets all the humor in between. The graphics are nice however it would have been more easier if they all started doing something about the flying capability. It wasn't that nice if he could only do it on 2 floors right? The repulsor blaster also had its pros and cons but it did the job every now and then. I never got through finding how he would actually die in the game because the life indicator was complicated and never really shown the health of Iron Man. You can also choose what armor to have after the second part. Although it would be a pain not to use the main character because you have upgraded it after all. All the upgrades would be done right after a chapter. The story flow would actually lose you in translation because if you are lost in the map it would be doubly hard for you to find your way back into the story. Yes there are clues but an arrow would have been very right to do. All in all the game is a 2 out of 5 kumags but I'll still play it!

The Mortal Kombat version for the PSP is called Unchained. No its not melody because of all the things that will be included, the gore and blood is still going to be evident. It's the violent falls and deaths they do to themselves on some instances via hara kiri that is quite entertaining. If you are a bub like me who love gore and violence you wouldn't be disappointed because it is the only thing it can offer. Controls are shown but how can you do that with fat fingers like I have on a combo. I can press em but the response time in a PSP console was not really being given a chance. I wish there was some way to make it all better. I love fighting games and I hope there are new titles to play like Marvel vs Capcom and the titles after that. I love the video they released of it though because the guy from Devil May Cry is on it. I'm excited!

Mortal Kombat will get the same rating as with Iron Man because pretty soon I'll be bored with it so 2 out of 5 kumags will do.

In the meantime watch this.

A Clearer and Better View

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of faceVsion Technology USA. All opinions are 100% mine.




It has been doubly hard lately to talk to my brother in Ireland and it has proven to be a pain in the wallet when our phone bills arrived. I wouldn't be able to recuperate a couple of hundred dollars if it's just for utilities like this one. I suggested we use SKYPE instead so we can call each other anytime of the day for free. The problem is that I get horrible video streaming from it and I couldn't do anything about it. I was so dependent on the software that we just rubbed it off when we experience skipping videos or on some instances only the audio works. In this day and age we shouldn't stay on a difficult situation even if it is for free. Services like these should already be flawless. I chanced upon the faceVision on line store and tried out what I could use at home. I was at awe with what I could do with the gadgets they have available.

True enough faceVsion made me realize that there is hope after all. I can probably use one or more of their HD cameras for communication and it would relatively cost me a lot less considering the suffering we have been experiencing with just plain old SKYPE. The FV touchcam N1 looks very promising and if my hunch is correct I can get my relatives in the US buy one for me and my brother so we wouldn't have to spend that much.

I know how hard times are in Europe and since the dollar is performing better now I would be better off asking some of them for gifts. Our birthday is coming anyway! It has been a couple of years too since we met and they could benefit a lot with it too. I can call them the same way I'd do with my brother with SKYPE OUT for a few bucks. The FV ExpressCombo also is very attractive and I'm sure one of us will probably get that soon. I wouldn't blame them if they choose to get more because after all we all need to talk these days. I know some of them are coming home for a vacation and it would be easier to arrange everything with this technology right? Thank the heavens for VOIP and Internet technology!

President Benigno Simeon Aquino III

Wednesday, June 30, 2010



I went home early because I was tired from gym yesterday and I wanted to watch everything that is in the news. It's the inauguration of President Noynoy Aquino. Yes ladies and gentlemen I voted for him. I'm seeing a lot of people, from the President to Jaworski it's all fun!

From Quirino Grand Stand, Times Street, Manila Hotel to Malacanang it was all jumpacked. I saw Charice Pempengco, Lucy Torres, KC Concepcion who are all so pretty. Mikee Cojuangco too was in a terno that is very apt for the occasion. I envy the nice fountain in Malcanang, I wish I had one at home too LOL. Secretary Mendoza and VP Decastro is still inside Malcanang Palace. Jose Ramos Horta is in the Quirino Grandstand together with the other dignitaries. Sharon Cuneta and her husband are in the second row. Gloria is wearing white, very angelic despite rumors she was a former devil in a past life. Gloria is also bidding farewell to press and people inside the palace... this is like her last 5 hours as president. They will probably meet in the Bonifacio Hall the premier guest house in the palace where Noynoy will also take office.

There are boy scouts all around because Binay was a cheif scout. Teves is in the palace, probably because he is part of Glorias cabinet. Wow it is hot in the grandstand and people from Arab countries are there. Vilma Santos and Ralph Recto are there too. The hosts are Jim Paredes and that big lady from the short documentaries. Tito Sotto is on the grandstand too.

Gloria and Noli are talking right now. The whole field in the grandstand is turning yellow as the hours come. Mayor Lim looks funny with all those white hair and modern shades. Charice looks good in pink but her Mom should have worn something formal. I saw the chairs and they look cheap. Ramos is there, I wonder what happened to the short argument via reporters. Magsaysay is also there, and my Mayor Sonny Belmonte. Balsy Aquino looks pretty in yellow. Pinky Aquino is also pretty... I think they are going to wear same dresses. Kris Aquino looks like big bird. I hate the super yellow on her. The other sisters had lighter ones. Ninoy Aquino left the house on a camisa de chino and wore his barong in the palace grounds maybe to prevent lukot or sumthing. Gloria went down the stairs and shook the hand of Noynoy. He did reach for her that time. I think they are now going to plate number 1 to go to Quirino Grandstand. They walked side by side. I wonder what they are going to talk about there. Gloria is smiling though LOL.

I hope someone doesn't get hit with the 21 gun salute. President Benigno Simeon Aquino III must be just not talking inside and it would be so awkward heheh. There are merrymaking on the front of the grandstand. Shalani is wearing yellow too but it looks pretty on her. The helicopter feed on the coverage is horrible. Baby James in in yellow barong and yellow shades, so cute! Cesar Montano and Shine are there too and I must say well dressed.

It looks like we are early. Some people are not seated yet and the presidents are already there. Paul Cabral did a good job but not the one on Kris. Noynoy cleans his lens. Binay rides on his electric jeep. They all stand up for the 21 gun salute.

They are one hour early. Stupid Binay has his jeep on front while Gloria takes her last walk in front of the army. Gloria went off to Pampanga to swear in as Congresswoman. Noynoy went up the stage and prayers were done. Program started. Funny Estrada is on stage hahaha. Charice did the National Anthem right, as a matter of fact it was great!

Ecumenical prayers were given by the Bishop of Zamboanga, I talked to him in Ateneo a couple of months ago. He is one funny guy. Imam and Priest prayed. Looks like everyone is paying attention. Binay and Ninoy are talking, that is great. A start maybe. Madrigal Singers did ANG BAYAN KO. It was very good. Gregoio Honasan was there too, isn't he suppose to be in jail?

Baby James was funny coz he waved to the camera. Joshua was coughing. Songs from Ryan Cayabyab and APO Hiking Society was done... it was very lame but nationalistic. Christian Bautista sang You raised me Up... I wonder why haha. Ahh they are delaying the inauguration because it has to be 12noon for him to be sworn in. Gary, Regine, Nina, and Jed Madela. Noel Cabangon also is there.

Enrile is reading the proclamation for both Binay and Noynoy. They are still stretching so the inauguration starts on time. I guess after Noel sings its already time for the swearing in. OMG who is that ugly naked guy in stage. Ahhh they are igorots pala hahaha.

Stretching with Noel Cabangon is the Philharmonic Orchestra and Ryan Cayabyab. I wonder what the hell they are doing there.

Oh and there goes the inauguration, lasted about 3 minutes. Confetti falls on the field. Noynoy starts his tagalog speech. It was nice overall.

He went to back to Malacanang for some more ceremonies. Then work starts at lunch. I'm proud I voted for him and wish him luck with all the detractors. Let's start working our butt off as citizens of this country, he needs all our help!

=) I'm proud to be a Filipino! =)

The Best: Bed Rest



It's that time of the day where the strong winds and rain pour down heavily on the metro. I cuddled up a bit with my big mug of chocolate and settle down on my bed. Bedroom Furniture like these is really comfortable and I'm sure to get more of them soon. I'm also planning to design another room and I need something affordable without compromising quality.

This is really a place of refuge for me. I think we all spent a quarter of our life in it. I have 8 pillows and want more. I'm pretty tall and I'm glad the bed I have now is as big as it should be. I'm not quite so sure about some of my blankets though because some of them are really short. This is still the place I go to when I need to read a book or press keys on my lap top. It's a great place to escape even in the midst of your own home. I can even do it curling up like a ball with just a t shirt on!

Imagine life without a place to rest after a hard day's work. That would really get your stress levels up and may give you a heart attack in no time. If I were you I would think about the things I buy and consider the ones on line. They would not be popular in the first place if they did not have that many people getting them right? They would be the ones to attest to the quality and help you make that choice if you start renovating rooms like me. I'm going to have fun doing this I'm sure!
