If I Were No 3. (Abridged Version)
Since nothing interesting has happened recently, and I wanna get back to watching... uhm, stuff;
If I were a Heroes Character:
I'd be Ando.
Apathetic and Mediocre. That's me. He doesn't even have a freakin' power. Basically, He sucks...
But in a good way.
Coz he's funny.
If I were a Character from One Piece
I'd be Buggy the Clown
Why? Because he's an egotistical self centered guy, who has some talent, but not much (compared to the rest of the One Piece Populace). He's a boss early in the show. Which means he quickly becomes a comic relief character.
He's a Loser that can only beat characters that are more loserish (wow, new word) than him..
So if I ever beat you in anything before, consider yourself cannon fodder.
If I were a Character from Proposal Daisakusen
I'd be Iwase Ken.
No, not becuase I can relate to the character. No Way! Get real man. I am him kasi kasing gwapo ko sha. End of Story.
Haleluiah Chance!

Leah Speed Balls
Balls
I watched Balls of Fury this afternoon. Yep, the ping pong movie (I'm not gonna waste my time writing a lengthy synopsis). It was kind of ok. Ther've been a lot of movies like this recently (comedies with some kind of sport in the middle of it); Nacho Libre, Blades of Glory, Talladega Nights and Dodge Ball. I have to say that this movie is the weakest of these movies. Why? Because the the protagonist is a fat, curly haired, rocker wanna be and guess what? It ain't Jack Black.
The whole movie seems to be tailor made for Jack Black. So much so that the producers probably went "Hey writer grunts, we're gonna get Jack Black to do a movie for us, no, we haven't asked him yet but there's no way he'd say no right? Write a script... and oh yeah, it has to have ping pong in it".
When the script was done and they offered him the movie, Mr. Black probably went Nnnnaaaahhh... Not Interested dudes, sorry... Lucha Libre!!!!".
Shit. But what about this perfectly good script about ping pong battles to the death!? Thought the producers. "What the hell, lets get somebody else". Then they searched high and low for a second rate actor who wouldn't mind being given the instructions; "When in doubt, think what Jack Black would do".
At least dodge ball had Vince Vaughn, Talladega Nights had Will Ferrell... Balls of Fury? No such luck.
Hey, at least it has Maggie Q (She's as hot as ever). Aside from that, it gave me a memorable line that I will now use every time I whoop somebody's ass in Ping Pong;
"My balls have been tempered by the fire of hell's dragon"
Speed
A friend of mine mentioned that there's gonna be a Speed Racer movie... and the Wachowski brothers (Matrix Trilogy, V for Vendetta) are gonna write and direct it! So, i went online and googled... and the rumor is...... TRUE!!! There's even is a cast!!!
Speed Racer - Emile Hirsch (Girl Next Door)
Trixie (Speed's Girlfriend) - Cristina Ricci
Pops Racer - John Goodman
Mom Racer - Susan Sarandon
Racer X - Matthew Fox (That Lost guy)
Speed Racer's Rival - Rain (the korean dude, Justin from full house hahahaha)
I never really followed the old Speed Racer anime... so I'm not really all that hyped... but it is gonna be directed by the Wachowskis, that's good right? That is, unless you ask Allan Moore. haha, sorry. Comic book Joke. XD
Leah
Here's a video of one of Leah Dizon's Music videos. Why am I posting it? To test video posting that's all. And oh yeah, to get on Kabo's nerves. Hahahaha!!! Pretty kaya nya oh!!!
Ung photobook ko men! Don't forget!

Life is a Junkie
This is the first time I'm gonna write like this (and hopefully the last time too). I am going to be totally vague.
Life is a drug addict.
One day, everything is perfect. You feel better than you've been feeling in a long time. Life is good. And you think that the stupid grin on your face you see every time you look in the mirror is perfectly normal.
Then the next day, it crashes. The rose tinted window shatters. For some reason, you want to go out in the pouring rain, lift your face, raise both your hands and scream "Nnnnnnnnooooooooooo!!!!!!".
Off course, there are numerous metaphors out there that say the same damn thing. Like Ronan Keeting said "Life is a Roller Coaster", or Ate Charo from Maalala mo Kaya; "Parang Gulong ang Buhay".
But I find my description the most fitting right now thank you very much.
......
So there.

The Scariest Toy... Ever
While passing through Megamall, I decided to window shop in Toy Kingdom to see the latest toys. What can I say, I just loooooovvvvvve toys!!! Weeeee!!!! Toy Kingdom is heaven to me. Paradise. My very own Ice Cream Land.
Anyways, while looking around, I came across, as the title of this posts states, the scariest toy EVER (disclaimer: at least to me)!!
For only 600 pesos, you can get your very own Chris Benoit, AKA "The Rabid Wolverine" AKA "Mr. I cross-faced my wife and son to death" action figure.
I can't believe toys of this guy are still being sold. Imagine going to sleep in your bed with a toy like this standing on your desk. (cue Chris Benoit music) Creepy man.
Unless they make Aikido Adolf (gas chamber sold separately), Stretch Sadam (with hang man rope) or Talking Osama (Push the button behind his back and here Osama say "Death to America"), this toy is the scariest toy I've ever seen

Mike's Top 5 Japanese Babes
Hello! Here's a list of, in my opinion, the 5 Hottest Japanese Girls. Why make a list? Well, because I've got nothing better to write about since I've been living the life of a hermit in Laguna for the last two weeks (because of work) and because posting pictures of Hot Girls is number two in my list of the top three cool things to do when you're bored out of your mind. If you must know, number three is twiddling my thumbs and number one is surfing through youtube (while twiddling my thumbs, 'cuz my net is like soooooo bagal). Anywayz... enough of that! On with the List!
Number 5: Some Girl (Dunno her name, and I'm too lazy to look it up, but she's Rei from Proposal Daisakusen).
Mike's Stereotype: The Cutey
The only reason why you don't hate the living shit out her character in Proposal Daisakusen is because she's so darned cute. While watching the show, I ask myself; Why the hell is Kenzo (mr. protagonist) hopelessly in love with such a dense, inconsiderate, selfish girl?" Then she gets some camera time and smiles... The question vanishes into thin air.
She's number 5 because she has a cute smile and she can make a lot of cute silly faces (haha. parng anime).
Number 4: Horikita Maki
Mike's Stereotype: Ms. Virgin-Mary-Appeal
I didn't think Horikita Maki was "all that" before, probably because i'm not really in to the virgin mary thing. Then I saw her in Hanakimi (jdorama), then I became a fan. Maki is on the cute side of the babe coin (the other side being the "hot" side). That's why i'm a little surprised with the photo i got of the internet above, but i'm not complaining =).
Maki exudes this im-innocent-&-I-never-had-a-boyfriend-but-i'm-now-old-enough-so-i-want-one look.
Maki is number 4 because she's like your bestfriend's cute younger sister who has a crush on you, but if you do anything, said bestfriend would beat the crap out of you.
Number 3: Maria Ozawa
Mike's Stereotype: The Girl Next Door
When I first saw Maria Ozawa, I was like "Holy Sh*t, is that girl really a porn star!?" Then she takes her clothes off and starts doing some lucky japanese sunnavabitch. Damn. I remember i wrote a post about the movie "The Girl Next Door" (starring another hot babe Elisha Cuthbert) a few months back. I remember saying that the only drawback of that movie was that it wasn't believable because no American Porn star is as hot as Elisha Cuthbert. I guess that fact is not true in Japan. She can be my girl next door anytime.
Maria is number 3 because you'd be dying for her to go out with you, even though she's a hard core pornstar. Heck, you'd introduce her to your friends and family without being the least bit ashamed.... Ok, you'd probably LIE to your parents, but still....
Number 2: Kimura Kaela
Mike's Stereotype: The Rocker Chick
I first saw Kaela on Music Station (the jpop show on animax), she was wearing some teletubby looking costume (apparently she was supposed to be an alien or something) and I thought she was kinda cute. Now, if I thought she was cute wearing something like that, what more if she was out of it? I looked her up (in youtube where else) and after watching a couple of clips, I realized she was something like Madonna. Ok, wait, let me explain. No, she's not 40, and no, she doesn't kidnap babies from Africa. She constantly reinvents herself. Sometimes, she's normal (like the photo shown above), sometimes she shaves her head, sometimes she shaves just half of her head. She colors her hair purple. She wears, crazy clothes (like the alien suit and bee suit) etc.
But in all those "disguises", she still looks great!
Kaela is number 2 because she's a Rocker Chick who can still be cutey-cutey (like Rei, my number 5). She can wear silly things, look silly and act silly and still be beautiful. Since she's a rocker chick, she has that "one of the boys aura". Finally, I like her music, now if girls can soil their panties for an ugly bastard like Rico Blanco just because he has some cool songs, can't i go gaga over Kalea (even though she sings in Japanese and i have no idea what she's saying)?
Number 1: Leah Dizon
Mike's Stereotype: The Goddess
Technically, Leah shouldn't be part of this list since she's not Japanese. But since she's based in Japan and since it's MY list, I'll do whatever the hell I want!
Leah Dizon was actually a part time model based in Las Vegas. She's Half American and Half Filipno (yep). She ended up in japan because she kept a blog where she uploaded some of her pictures, and it received a LOT of hits from japanese fans. Some of them suggested she move to japan, so she did! The first time i saw her, i was instantly reminded of Final Fantasy.
Brief backstory. To those of you who don't know, Final Fantasy is a video game (RPG to be exact). Because of the advances in computer technology, I 'd like to think of the characters in the recent Final Fantasy incarnations as the new greek marble sculptures (they look like humans, if humans were perfect).
That is until i saw Leah Dizon. She looks like something out of Final Fantasy. Which is to say she looks too good to be true.
Leah Dizon is Number 1 because she's my goddess. She has the kind of look that i really fall for. She can be cute, but she can also be hot. She can even be both at the same time.
A friend of mine, opinionated guy that he is, believes that Leah Dizon is (gasp I can't say it)... Ugly. The only thing i can say to this is that any person who thinks Leah Dizon is NOT pretty is either totally nuts.... or gay. Nuts or gay. You decide man.
Right Leah?
Yes Leah, I'd like a taste of.... Uh whatever it is you're holding.
Oh God.

All Hail the Ping Pong King!
To those of you who don't know, i've recently taken up playing table tennis... As you can probably deduce from the title of this post...
I am a Bad Ass Ping Pong Mother F*cker!!!
Of course, there are always nay sayers, who at first don't believe my seemingly ridiculous claim...
Take, i don't know, Fred Tay, for example...
Just this afternoon, Fred Tay had the audacity to challenge me at ping pong...
Needless to say, i beat the crap out of him with my spectacular backhands, amazing forehands and awe inspiring slices. He didn't even win one game against me. Believe me, he tried, we played more than 6 or 7 games, each ending in his utter and absolute defeat.
Because of my awesomeness... i have decided to associate myself with the following titles:
1. Ping Pong King (as stated in the title)
2. Bible of Ping Pong
3. Master Ping Pong (must be said with a chinese kung fu movie accent)
4. The Champ
5. Ping Pong Ninja
6. The Long Haired Warrior
7. Bitmicro's Black Flash
Hmm... eto lng naisip ko for now.
Ping Pong is now added to the list of things that mike is superior to fred.
Yeah!
I think i should take up badminton next. But first, i have to get rid of my habit of laughing my ass off when anyone mentions the word shuttlecock.
hahaha.
shuttlecock. shuttlecock.
hahaha. hahaha.

Needless to say, i beat the crap out of him with my spectacular backhands, amazing forehands and awe inspiring slices. He didn't even win one game against me. Believe me, he tried, we played more than 6 or 7 games, each ending in his utter and absolute defeat.
Because of my awesomeness... i have decided to associate myself with the following titles:
1. Ping Pong King (as stated in the title)
2. Bible of Ping Pong
3. Master Ping Pong (must be said with a chinese kung fu movie accent)
4. The Champ
5. Ping Pong Ninja
6. The Long Haired Warrior
7. Bitmicro's Black Flash
Hmm... eto lng naisip ko for now.
Ping Pong is now added to the list of things that mike is superior to fred.
Yeah!
I think i should take up badminton next. But first, i have to get rid of my habit of laughing my ass off when anyone mentions the word shuttlecock.
hahaha.
shuttlecock. shuttlecock.

Give Me Back My Name
Ask yourself this;
"What makes a guy, who hasn't touched his blog for about 3 months, post an entry on Christmas Day?"
I'll tell you what: His Name
A name is more than just letters stringed together, a name is an aspect of one's existence. In a way a name defines who a person is. A name makes a person an individual, it differentiates him or her from the rest oh humanity...
For about 20+ years, i have been confident in the knowledge that i am the only michael domondon that exists on this planet. My identity as a person was secure. I was special. i was unique...
Well apperently, i've been living a f**kn lie.
Just a couple of minutes ago, i tried searching for my name in google just for kicks, when i saw it. Someone else is using the divine, awesome, not to mention totally cool name that is michael domondon!!!!
Oh the outrage! Oh the humanity!
Of course i was curious about the dude, so i checked out his blog; If you wanna take a peek, be my guest.
http://gattacaboy.blogspot.com
But why you'd rather go over there instead of reading the awesomeness of my literary stylings i have no idea.
After a brisk assesment of his blog, i can say without a shadow of doubt, that i am absatively superior to that pirate, that bootlegger that... that name grabber, in every aspect. He should stop using that name at once.
Hey person-that-is-using-my-name, change your name to something else! You look more like a George, or a Borgy anyways.
The name Michael Domondon is already taken
Give me back my name damn you!!!

Conversation with "The One"
Neo: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Mike: Erm... Okie
Neo: This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.
Mike: I don't want no pills! What do you think I am?! Drugs?!
Neo: Then what do you want?
Mike: Eagle Eggs. Eagle Powers kick ass man!
Neo: I'm trying to free your mind, Mike. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it.
Mike: Yeah. Well, that sounds like a pretty good deal. But I think I may have a better one. How about, I give you the finger.
Neo: The Eagle Eggs are a lie! A lie! They give you no eagle powers! They give you no nutrients!
Mike: Whatever... eagle eggs are the bomb pare!
Neo: I know kung-fu.
Mike: No use threatening me man. I watched the movie. You do NOT know kung fu.
Neo: (using his cell phone) Mr. Wizard. Get me the hell out of here.
Mike: One thing before you go...
Neo: Yes?
Mike: The Lake House was crap.

Ready Steady Bowl!
Hello true believers! I went bowling about a week ago. This post is about bowling. Enjoy!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transcending history and the world… is a tale of brave bowlers eternally told…
Each of them a legend in their own right, each of them gifted by the bowling gods with a distinct bowling style, all, but one of them, really suck at bowling . Behold the BOWLERS of DESTINY!!!
Fred “the Philosopher” Tay
Aliases: The swallow, the Zen Master
School: Discipline Of the Timid Attack (DOTA)
“Fierce rock roll down path and crash at mountain, but mountain not move. Flowing water, sure and true, tumble mountain down eventually”
-old Chinese dude
Pag si tay tumira, everything is in slow motion, he holds the ball for a few seconds, taking his sweet time, then he calmly walks down the lane (step by agonizing slow step) and ever so gently lays the bowling ball into the ground. The bowling ball then rolls down at a snails pace and gently pushes the pins with the least amount of force possible. Kng nakakita ka ng nag ta tai-chi, ganun ka bagal ung movements ni Tay.
Mike “Lucky Spare” Domondon
Aliases: The Avatar of Excellence, The Definer of Coolness
School: Electronics and Communications of Bowling (6 Years)
“I’m ready! I’m Ready! I’m Ready –Eddy Yeddy!”
According to Tay and Kabo, puro chamba lng daw ung mga spare ko. Hahaha!!! I have to admit na tama sila. The times when I actually knocked the pins down are the times when I wasn’t actually thinking about knocking down any pins. When I concentrate on making the ball go straight, the blasted thing goes left or right (Stupid ball). But, when I think about other stuff, the chances of the ball going straight are higher. Case and point; I distinctly remember singing “Who lives in a pineapple under sea? Sponge Bob Square Pants!” in my head in one of my turns were I actually hit a strike. Pero kahit na puro chamba lng ako, 2nd higest namn ako! Ha! “Who ever said nobody remembers 2nd place?” I do Dammit!!!
Ryan “Gutter Ball” Chan
Aliases: Bowlzilla (Rawr!)
School: Nacho Libre School of Bowling
“The Eagle eggs were a lie! A lie!!! They give me no bowling powers! They give me no Nutrients!”
Kabo has two moves:
Ryan CRUSH!!! (D, DF, F +Punch Button)
-A powerful attack where kabo flails the bowling ball down the lane with all his might. Hit % of 25 percent. 75% Gutter Ball
Ryan SMASH!!! (D, DB, B + Punch Button)
-A more powerful attack than Ryan CRUSH!!! Follow up move to Ryan CRUSH!!! done in the next turn.
Hit % of 10 percent. 90% Gutter ball
*Both moves are done with a primal scream (Guh-Rahhhhhh!!!!)
**Ryan CRUSH!!! and Ryan SMASH!!! are the intellectual properties of Mark Frederick Tay
Tops “Bowling Master Boy” Yap
Aliases: Tops The Heavenly Ball, Yap Taicho (Captain)
School: self taught
“You must defeat Paeng Nepomuceno to stand a chance”
In actuality, si Tops lang naman talaga ang marunong mag bowling sa amin e. Sha lng ang may mad bowling skilz. Hustler ampota! Addict sa bowling! Almost every turn, strike or spare (Tops Zone!)! Tapos hindi pa sha satisfied sa score nya, kahit na tambak kami sobra! Yabang! Sipa nalng tayo! Or Patintero! Bring it!!!

Long Weekend
Thank you Ninoy Aquino! Because of your sacrifice more than a decade ago, I, Mike the invincible man, get a reprieve from work today. As corrupt, poor, stagnant and virtually hopeless our country is today, your actions have at least brought a little joy into my life. In order to show my appreciation, I say “Screw You!” to those who say Ninoy was a communist.
Anyhow, this post is about how I spent my long weekend, mainly watching DVDs, so, this post is actually about the DVDs I watched and not about me, but its technically about me because a was the one doing the watching, ‘cause watching DVDs is what I did during the long weekend and since this post is entitled the Long Weekend, it is also about watching DVDs, which is what I did, so this post is also about what i did because I am MOOOOOJOOO JOJO!!!
Err…
Okay, now that I got that out of my system, I met some of my batch mates from college in metrowalk for a semi batch reunion sort of thing. We had dinner, a few drinks and we talked about stuff (Lui Agustin got married!! Whoa!!!). I had a blast although marami umalis ng maaga (can franz and avic, dulce and grace). Saka si jme hindi sumipot, inuna ung ADTX bago ung kanyang batch mates (sha pa namn isa sa nagyayaya)… tsk tsk.
Since I got home at around 1:30 in the morning, I woke up at around 1ish in the afternoon. I actually had my weekend planned, i ma marathon ko dapat ung season 1 ng Lost, which I borrowed from my officemate especially for the weekend. Well, I didn’t watch lost, instead I watched a couple of japanovellas (uhm, this word doesn’t sound right, so I’ll just use jap TV shows instead); Densha Otoko (Train Man) and Hana Yori Dango (Boys over flowers).
Densha Otoko
The show, is about an otaku (basically a Japanese male who loves anime, comics, video games and all related merchandise to the EXTREME)/loser who saves a beautiful girl from a drunk guy on a train. He of course falls for the girl but he has no idea whatsoever how to go about wooing said girl, he posts his story on an internet message board where various eccentric individuals help him in his task of improving his image and getting his love interest.
In most underdog love stories, the guy is a regular joe and the girl is a figurative goddess, in this series the guy isn’t even a regular joe, he’s total loser (the girl is still a goddess). Because of that, you can’t help getting behind him (everyone loves the underdog) in his quest to get a girl that is seemingly beyond his reach. This is where the show gets its good moments. But sometimes, the story gets so dragging (there are lot of scenes were they just show the guy talking to various people in the internet), you just want to kick his damn ass.
All in all, the show is okay. I wouldn’t recommend it to just anyone though. You should have at least a “little otaku in you” to appreciate it (pero di namn to the point na katulad nung guys depicted sa series, shit creepy sila).
Hana Yori Dango
Hana Yori Dango is based on a Japanese manga with the same name. Its about a poor girl who studies in a school for the extremely rich were she meets 4 guys, two of which she falls in loves with. Sounds familiar? Well it damn should. The manga Hana Yori Dango is also the basis for another show; Meteor Garden (if you haven’t at least heard of this show, you’re probably a hermit or something).
I can’t compare the shows ‘cause I never really got to watch Meteor Garden in full. I actually saw the first few episodes (during one of my summer breaks when it first aired), but I had to stop ‘cause I had summer classes (they showed it early afternoon I think). Then the show got sooooooo huge that even though they moved up the time slot, I didn’t bother watching ‘cause everyone was watching it already (I think I have masa-phobia). But even though I barely saw it, I know its basic story (You can’t help it, its like the Sixth Sense, even though you didn’t see the movie, the news that Bruce Willis was a ghost eventually reaches you), and I can say that its similar to Hana Yori Dango’s (except for the ending).
So which one is better? Uhm… I dunno. But if I had to pick I’d go for Hana Yori Dango, because Makino Tsukushi, the show’s Shan Cai (I don’t know the spelling, sorry kabo), is waaaaaaaayyyyyyy hotter than her meteor garden counterpart. She has the whole Japanese school girl thing going for her.
I recommend this show to fans of Meteor Garden. I’d love to hear their opinions, arguments or rants as to which show is actually superior.

Noir Art, Voyeurism and a Couple of Movies
This is a three part post of three totally unrelated things. You’re probably gonna see a lot more of these types of posts because I rarely get the chance to update my blog.
Noir Art
A few days back, I saw this tutorial on the internet how to transform photos into graphic novel style art, like the ones you’d commonly find in the pages of Sin City. Sooooo… I decided to take a crack at it. Here’s what came out of it;
Can anyone guess where the quote came from? Haha.
Making this type of thing is relatively easy. It can be done in about thirty minutes. Wala kasi mashado work, pag manipulate lng ng layers, levels etc. Sisiw! Haha.
Voyeurism
Right next to the building where I work is a high-end condominium with an outdoor swimming pool. You know what that means right? Oh yeah! Babe watching baby! If you’re gonna tell me that I should be ashamed of myself, don’t bother. The guys from work have been doing it long before I started working there. So, like they say; When in Rome, do what the Romans do. But Ateneans want to do things better than anybody else! That’s why I brought erm… binoculars to work. Mwahahahahaha! (me washing my hands: hey di lng ako ung nagdala. Si Jm din. Hihihi).
Anyhoo, one day, this foreign girl in an uber mini two piece bikini (with leopard pattern design I might add) and some schmoe who I presume is her boyfriend decided to go for a dip. The girl was pretty hot, so I got my binoculars and started uhm appreciating God’s work. Usually when we “observe” all the girl does is swim and/or sun bathe. That day was different. They were in the Jacuzzi-like-thingy and they started getting, shall we say; dirty. The guy had his hands all over the babe (lucky stinking good for nothing rich idiotic piece of bird dropping bastard), literally feeling up her private places. And the girl was into it! Shit! She was like spreading her legs and wiggling her ass in the guy’s face (both while her crotch or her butt was about a foot away from the guy’s noggin’)! And you know what? I think she knew they were being watched! She kept glancing at the direction of our windows. The girl was working it for an audience! The little tease! Work stopped and mouths hung open for about an hour because of that very lewd but extremely entertaining display. The next day, before going into the building, I took a look at the windows. You definitely can see through it, which supports the theory that the girl knew she was being watched and it probably flipped her switch.
I need more powerful binoculars.
A Couple of movies
I saw a couple of movies in the last few days.
The first movie I saw was Miami Vice (with Tay, Kabo, Charles and Tops). It was crap. They had loads of scenes were Collin Farrell and Gong Lee (Hatsumomo from Memoirs of a Geisha) get in on. Good right? Nope. I’d like to classify “getting it on” in the movies into three categories. The first is the raunchy, torrid semi porn type (e.g. Basic Instinct). The second is the tastefully done type (usually for those love stories like the Note Book). Finally the third is the boring type where because of various reasons (I.e. no chemistry, poor characterization, bland camera shots etc.) you go “oh enough already, we get the idea! Pan to a shot of the wind blowing through some curtains or something!”
The second movie I watched was Click (with Xtiane, Jm and IC). The movie was ok. As with almost all of Adam Sandler’s movies (except Spanglish), I loved the soundtrack. 80’s music rulz man!!! The only thing I didn’t like was the ending. Why does Hollywood think that the “Everybody Lives Happily Ever After” is a necessity in feel good romantic comedies like Click? If it didn’t have the Hollywood Ending, the movie would have been better. Oh yeah, Kate Beckinsale was hot! She looks just as good in her Pocahontas outfit for this movie as her in that leather clad outfit in Underworld.
Now for some movie news…
The joker for the sequel for Batman Begins has been cast. The Joker is… Heathe “Brokebacker” Ledger. I think it’s a good choice. Hope the joker isn’t homo though. Haha.
Good news for all of you Sandman fans, Neil Gaiman has confirmed that a movie is going to be made and that he *gasp plans to direct it himself. The only reason I see for fans to be disappointed is that the movie is going to be based on the mini series “Death: The High Cost of Living” and not the actual Sandman graphic novels.

Mike’s 4 Steps in Dealing with Frustration
Step 1: Sarcasm
I ride the MRT going to and coming home from work (dati going to work lang, but since nag resign na si LaC, wala na ako sasabayan every afternoon going home. Sad). Now, If you haven’t tried taking the train at around 7 in the morning or around 5 in the afternoon, you should. ‘Cause your missing a lot boys and girls! What fun it is to abandon all sense of decency to fight your way through the dreaded hordes in order to pack yourselves like sardines inside the train. And the aroma is just divine. Oh yes, the sweet heavenly smell of day old sweat clinging to the bodies of your fellow passengers is like aged wine to the senses. I urge everyone to give it a try.
Step 2: Ranting
To those of you who don’t know, the MRT adapted the system that the LRT1 uses. It reserves a car exclusively for female passengers. I’m cool with that (I’m not sexist). What I find annoying is how some of the female passengers insist on riding on the other cars even though one car is reserved just for them. Now if the other cars were relatively vacant I wouldn’t mind. But there I am trying with all my might to move my body away from some guy’s crotch when some woman tries to squeeze herself into the already packed car even though the car for women has tons of space! What’s with that dammit!? If the girl is with company, say her boyfriend or some friends, I, again, wouldn’t mind her in that part of the train (cause, cheesy as it may be, I don’t think its fair to separate people who don’t wanna be separated). But those loners, what reason do they have for making life difficult for all the passengers? Is that how they get their kicks? Or is it some perverse fetish perhaps? Whatever it is, damn them!!!
Step 3: Funny Anecdote
The train ride to work this morning was horrible as usual. The train was so packed that I thanked God for every station we passed, edging me closer to my stop; Ayala Station a.k.a. Sweet Freedom. When the train reached Ayala, I scrambled my way to the train’s doors (everyone scrambles, either you move fast or you get off on the next station) when somebody grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the door, hard! “What the hell is going on?!” I thought to myself. When I got out of the train, I saw that the person who was pulling my hand for dear life was some girl (not a pretty one if your curious). “Uhm…” I said making my presence known. The girl turns around, catches sight of me and says; “Ay…” It dawns on me she grabbed my hand by mistake. The hand she should’ve taken was…
I looked behind me and there he was. An orc in all his glory. He gave me his “hath-garesk-Shuk-bah” (translated from orc: “Insolent-human-I’m-gonna-rip-off-your-penis-and-stuff-it-down-your-throat) look. In response, I wanted to give him my “as-if-I-grabbed-her-hand-she-grabbed-mine-so-get-out-of-my-fuckin’-face-jabronie” look, but since he looked like an orc on steroids, I gave him my “erm-I-have-no-idea-what’s-happening” look. Apparently that was good enough for him. Phew.
Nagulat cguro ung girl when she realized she was holding the hand of a man-god instead of her sorry excuse for an orcfriend. Ahahahahahaha!!!!
Step 4: Song
When the fantasy has ended
And all the children are gone
There’s something good inside me
That helps me to carry on
I ate some bugs, I ate some grass
I used my hand, to wipe my tears
To kiss your mouth, I’d break my vows
No no no no no no way jose
Unless you want to, then we break our vows together

Nachooooooo!!!!
My blog is alive!!!
Wow, I’ts been a long time since I updated this blasted thing. I’m like soooooooo busy at work kasi e. You know?
-I wake up at 5 am, and eat soup (magi). I Love It!!
-Then I go to the office and stare at the computer all day. Wonderful!!
-Then, if I stay for a few more months, I will sit on my chair and read Specs and program in C for the REST of MY LIFE! Fantastic!
Anyhoo, lets get down to the “nitty gritty”. I watched Nacho Libre not once but twice! The first time, I was with Tay and Kabo. I have to say, almost from the start of the opening credits, to the ending credits, Everyone in the cinema was lauging their asses off. Except of course one person: yep you guessed it, Ryan Dennison “I-Don’t -Have-A Freakin’-Sense-Of-Humor” Chan. He hated the movie sooo much that by the end, when the rest of us smiling happy people were walking out of the theater in good spirits, Kabo was shouting “Crap!” “ That was the sorriest excuse for a movie EVER” etc. etc. etc. Well, ya know what? That made me enjoy the whole experience even more! Haha! Thanx Kabo.
I watched the movie the second time around with Xtiane and LaC. The movie was still damn funny! Buti nalng hindi "just my luck" pinanood namin. Shit Depressing un. Lalo na’t hindi na Fully Loaded si Lindsay Lohan… What’s the point? Haha.
All in all, watching the movie twice was worth my monies. Until next time.

If I were… No. 2
I few months back, I posted the predecessor of this post. To refresh everyone’s memory, the theme of the post was screwing the tests we commonly see on different blogs (“What color are you”, “What kind of lover are you etc etc…) and taking hold of your own destiny by making up your own damn results. With out further bullshit, let’s move onward!
If I were a character in One Tree Hill
I would be Peyton Sawyer! Tada! Not only is she the resident artist of the show (like me in real life), she’s also totally hot (like me in real life). ‘nuf said.
Pero in all honesty, mas magaling ako mag drawing sa kanya, plus iba kami ng artistic preference. I’m not into feeling-profound-shit like she is. Plus I’m not moody and I’m past the whole I-have-a-screwed-up-family-and-no-one-understands-me phase of my life. Pero in fairness, kahit na masmagaling ako magdrawing, mas hot siya sakin (pero onti lng).
I know you guys are thinking “Mike, pohta babae yan pinili mong character! Are you drugs!? Ok ka lng!?” To that I say, “Who else should I choose?” I can’t pick Nathan or Lucas Scott kasi Lord knows I totally suck at basketball (yes, you heard right people I beat at basketball, the only reason some people lose to me is because they suck more at the game than I do). Actually there’s one character na pipiliin ko dapat. There’s this obscure character named Tim (ung sobra tactless guy na best friend ni Nathan), but wala ko mahanp na picture nya sa net. Obscure talaga. Haha. Kaya I ended up with Peyton Sawyer.
If I were a girl
I’ve been reading some of Jme’s recent blog posts, according to those posts, some of her relatives said that we look a like (kind of like Conan O Brien and the president of Finland or some other country).
To that “accusation” I say that most of the time, relatives think you are more attractive than you really are. XD
Bwahahaha!!!
Pero wag ka magalit Jme, maganda ka naman e. Kaya lang pag naging babae ako, mas hot ako sayo! Thus, If I were a girl I’d be…
Elisha Cuthbert.
And oh yeah, If I were a girl I’d be a lesbian, I’d totally hang out with other hot girls and make out and do other wonderful stuff hot lesbians do.
Finally, If I were an American Idol Contestant
I’m guessing most of you are familiar with Ace. How about Chris or Taylor? Well, they’re morons! Losers and peons all of them! Bah! (In my best Simon Cowell Impression) In fact all of them are absolutely horrible that I’m not gonna choose from their ranks. Instead, I would rather be our very own Pinoy pop super star….
Mark Bautista
Pucha, wala naman cnabi yang mga American Idol nay an kay Lastikman! Tignan nyo namn, nagpapa macho pa o. Naaalala ko tuloy ung kalakasan ni George Estregan. Hahahahaha! Cool pa ung song nya:
Song Post #4
You win the game
You have no shame!
And I’m always gonna love you more!!!!
Sobra astig to dapat ito ung entrance music ni “The Game” Triple HHH sa WWE.
Panalo yun.

Alias the Movie
I watched Mission: Impossible 3 last Wednesday (opening day! Weeeee!). After work, JM, LaC and I went to Market Market to catch Mr. Katie Holmes in action. Though I was already pooped, I didn’t mind watching the movie ‘cause I was pretty hyped about the flick.
I thought the movie was going back to its roots. M:I 2 should have been okay by me. The only problem was that it was a Mission Impossible movie. Now, I’m one of those guys who think John Woo movies are cool, but Mission: Impossible is not about a double berretta wielding, one man army who loves to spin in slow mo amidst a flock of pigeons taking flight. It was always about a team of talented people who specialized in different aspects of espionage (disguise, computer systems, automobiles etc.) coming together to pull off a mission that is well… impossible.
As I said, I expected Mission: Impossible to go back to its roots. M:I 3 was helmed by JJ Abrams, the guy who created the TV series Alias. I thought: “this guy should now what he’s doing", he created a series about agents, double agents and terrorist organizations that is currently in its fifth season. I thought he was damn qualified to direct Mission Impossible 3. The repercussions of having this guy as its director only hit me about 30 minutes or so into the movie.
Like my title states, Mission: Impossible 3 is Alias the movie. Apparently, Abrams used up all his ideas in the five seasons of Alias, cause he didn’t come up with anything new for this movie. Abrams used every plot device found in Alias for M: I 3! Here are some examples:
The Pacing
Like a number of episodes of Alias, M:I 3 starts off with the protagonist (Ethan Hunt) tied to a chair (beaten and bruised), being interrogated by the bad guy. Again, like it always happens in Alias, the movie then backtracks several hours and shows you step by step how the good guy got into that predicament. It shows this by making Ethan Hunt go through a couple of mission briefings where he argues with the boss, has some comical conversation with the tech guy, he has some lovey-dovey sequences here and there, it then has agent Hunt run around various locales around the globe. Eventually, Ethan Hunt allows his ass to get caught, then we wind up where the movie starts off. When it gets back to this point, just like Sydney Bristow before him, Ethan Hunt escapes, whips the bad guy’s butt and saves the day. Tah-Dah!!!
The Secret Weapon
Alias has those mysterious Rambaldi devices. M:I 3 has the “Anti-God”/Rabbit’s foot. A weapon that is apparently so god-damned powerful that it can wipe out anything and everything from the face of the earth. Just like the Rambaldi device, what the Anti-God actually is wasn’t explained.
Spy Meetings
Just like Sydney Bristow and her handler Michael Vaughn, Ethan Hunt apparently loves meeting with his handler in inconspicuous locations like Seven Eleven convenience stores.
Code Names
M:I 3 uses the codename Phoenix in one of the black ops depicted (Phoenix is a codename used by Jennifer Garner’s character).
Cameos
If that wasn’t enough, the guy who plays Eric Wise on Alias (the fat guy who‘s bein partnered with Sydney’s sister Nadia) does a cameo, hell even the girl who plays Felicity on Felicity (another television series created by JJ Abrams) has a role in M:I 3.
Finally, just like Alias, the movie has an anti climactic ending. After all the great stunts and explosions in the beginning and in the middle of the movie, the ending was a major let down. Alias always gets a chance to redeem itself ‘cause there always is a next episode. Obviously, M:I 3 doesn’t have that luxury.
Off course the movie had its good points. Here’s 2 of them; Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Maggie Q. Hoffman played the sadistic badass to the T. Maggie Q was hot, plain and simple.
The movie was so identical to Alias in so many levels that in the end, I half-expected Tom Cruise to rip his face off to reveal Jennifer Garner.
In conclusion, JJ Abrams wasn’t the man for the job. In retrospect, they should have gotten some one like Michael Bay (Bad Boys 2, The Island) to direct M:I 3. The guy who directed the Bourne movies would have done a good job too… I think.

2 Weeks with the Man
Last April 17, I closed a chapter in my life by starting work. I kissed the bum life goodbye, donned my worker bee costume and became part of the hive that is bitmicro. In this post, I’d like to share some of the stuff about my first two weeks of being a cubicle worker. Before I proceed, I beg you, please don’t expect a coherent train of thought (as if my previous posts had one… ha!), or any semblance of a main idea. Instead, brace yourself for a good helping of rants and ramblings.
-Question #1: Ano ba talaga work ko?
Some of my friends asked me this before I started working. The answer I always gave was that I’d be a programmer that programs solid state memory storage devices. But I didn’t even know what the f*ck a solid state memory device is. Now I do. Basically it’s a hard disk that has a series of flash memory devices instead of a rotating disk. I write programs for those things. So there (pero ngayon, di pa ko marunong… but knowing is half the battle ryt?).
-Question #2: San ung work ko?
The place I work in is located at the 11th floor of the Net 1 center in the fort. Saying that I’m a cubicle worker is not exactly true. That’s because I don’t have my own cubicle. I have a work station. The place looks more like a computer laboratory than an office. Para lang ako nasa Computer lab sa Ateneo. Depressing. Well, at least I have my own PC... (Pero lilipat daw sa Net 1 Plaza by September, sana may cubicles na)
-Rant #1: Intranet
Though I have my own PC, the damn thing doesn’t have an internet connection. Because of that I can’t waste company time on YM, fantasy NBA, or blogging like charles does. All I have is collabrix (para shang YM na LAN lng). Du’n kami nag gagaguhan nila JM and LaC (oh yeah, office mates ko cla, kya lng c LaC sa ibang floor na assign). Kahit two seats away lang c JM, nag co collabrix pa kami. Hahahaha!
-Rant #2: The Mystery of the Dying Cellphone
Another thing na nakaka asar is that cellphones aren’t allowed in your work station (para daw di I divulge ang company secrets), you have to leave it in a shelf near the guard. Every time you wanna use your phone, you have to get up and go to a designated area. Okay lang sana sa akin, but my damn phone is a piece of crap. For some reason, every time I leave it on the shelf, the damn thing powers off. It doesn’t matter if it’s fully charged or not, my phone just dies. But when I take it away from the shelf (during lunch breaks or when I go home), the blasted thing works fine. I think it doesn’t like being around lots of cell phones, why? I dunno. Radiation? EM fields maybe? Email ko kaya si sir Libatique to find out?
-Rant #3: I want Money, lots and lots of Money...
Today is April 28, 2006. Everybody got paid today. Except for the new guys (which includes me)!!! It seems that sa May 15 pa ang first pay check namin ‘cause alanganin pa daw ang number of work days namin. And I thought that I was going to be able to swim in a vault full of money like Mr. Scrooge from “Ducktales” tonight. Depressing!

end:
I caught myself laughing at the joke… Shit ang nerd ko na.
-Fun with Mike and Friends entry #11
Cast: JM and LaC
Like I said earlier, nag co collabrix kaming tatlo lagi. Now, collabrix has this feature that allows you to “broadcast a message” (think SMS using PCs). While working, I suddenly received a message from JM (which he broadcasted to me and LaC) that read:
“NATATAE AKO!!”
Like I said, nag gagaguhan kami lagi, so I paid no attention to it. After a while LaC changed her online status to “Do not Disturb”. Her status was like that for about half an hour (napaisip tuloy ako: “wow, seryoso sa work sobra c lac”). When her status went back to “available” I asked her why she didn’t want to be disturbed. Apparently, her boss was using her PC when out of the blue:
Broadcast Message from JM Lukban:
“NATATAE AKO!!!”
Hahahahaha!!! It gets better, her seatmates happened to read the message and it spread like wildfire that some guy from the 11th floor named JM Lukban broadcasted that he wanted to take a shit.
That’s it for now… dami ko pa gusto sabihin kaya lang bawal mag divulge ng company stuff eh. Baka makulong ako XD.

The Story that Just Won’t Die
I’m talking about my encounter with Epok Quimpo sa Manang’s during my 2nd year in the Ateneo. Now, if you know me, (you most probably do since you’re reading my uber cool blog) you’ve most definitely heard the story AT LEAST once. Because of this and because I already documented the unfortunate incident in a previous post (Check: Mike the Embarassing Man), I won’t go into the story anymore. Instead I’m writing about something related to it.
Like the title states, the story just won’t die. I had dinner with Charles, Tay, Kabo and Darn last Saturday. During the usual boisterous banter that goes on when we get together, Darn brings up the usual story. But this time he added something new to the mythos (mythos ampota, para ng legend to a).
Now Darn is somehow acquainted to another Ateneo Blue Eagle; Magnum Membrere. How close are they you ask? Well, I don’t know (pero di naman cguro sila Broke Backers). Anyways, habang nag uusap si Darn and si Magnum, the story came up (I forgot who brought up the story though). But yung nakakagulat is that alam ni Magnum ung story!!! Apparently kinuwento ni Quimpo sa teammates nya na may mga Atenistang gusto sha I-trade! When I think about Epok Quimpo telling his teammates about the incident, I can’t help but shudder a little. Pucha, isipin nyo naman kung sino teammates nya nung time na yun! Villanueva, Alvarez, Fonacier, Tenorio, Bugia, Membrere… sama mo pa si Chia. Sila yung 2002 UAAP champions boys and girls. According to Membrere, pinagtawanan daw nila sobra si Epok, pero akala nila narinig lang ni Epok un kung saan saan. Chismis kumbaga. Little did they know that two jerks said it to his face! Mwahahahaha!
It’s a good thing Darn set the record straight for Magnum that it was Darn and me who unintentionally hurt the poor guy’s feelings. Sigh… The story has to be accurate dammit! The story will be passed on from 1 generation to another! It is the Legacy I leave to the Ateneo. Valedictorians, Summas, Magnas or whatever, they come and go…
The Epok-for-Cortez Story will on live forever!!! Bwahahahahah!!! Okay… probably not forever. Okay na sakin mga a few more months.

Pucha, isipin nyo naman kung sino teammates nya nung time na yun! Villanueva, Alvarez, Fonacier, Tenorio, Bugia, Membrere… sama mo pa si Chia. Sila yung 2002 UAAP champions boys and girls. According to Membrere, pinagtawanan daw nila sobra si Epok, pero akala nila narinig lang ni Epok un kung saan saan. Chismis kumbaga. Little did they know that two jerks said it to his face! Mwahahahaha!
It’s a good thing Darn set the record straight for Magnum that it was Darn and me who unintentionally hurt the poor guy’s feelings. Sigh… The story has to be accurate dammit! The story will be passed on from 1 generation to another! It is the Legacy I leave to the Ateneo. Valedictorians, Summas, Magnas or whatever, they come and go…
The Epok-for-Cortez Story will on live forever!!! Bwahahahahah!!! Okay… probably not forever. Okay na sakin mga a few more months.
