Rant of the Week: Doom

"Learn from your mistakes" is indeed true, after watching doom? i learned that i shouldve listened to the 19% rating from RT.com.



The title speaks for itself, it truly is... DOOM!... i couldve enjoyed an hour and a half playing the game all over again for free, instead of paying 100 bucks just to sit my ass down and watch the famed game from our time bastardized. Whats next? Scorched Earth the movie?

Loving the violent game from our childhood made our parents crazy about what we are doing in the computer for more than 5 hours... yes we're playing with evil all right, and we dont know evil until we see it. Evil is reading Rock's mouth say "shit" but hearing "smokes"? and how about watching the first person thing they did with the movie but with the mouse sensitivity of 15!. How about watching the movie skip scenes and just see some monster dropping with an axe on his head.
How about just giving me back the hour i spent? I couldve spent that 100 for four hours on a pc shop. sheesh...

Ok, ok... lets find something to praise about the movie? Remember that Big F*cking Gun we used in Quake and Doom? yes its also there, the BFG... Bio Force Gun or Big "Friggin" Gun (I read something else from Rock's mouth). The BFG was really BIG and bad looking, so bad it killed walls instead of monsters... Whats the use of that gun then?

The Action? Well its full of it, shit that is... I dont like watching a movie with my eyes always looking for people roaming in the dark... 2 reasons, I dont like hands just appearing from nowhere and I dont like looking for them on the big screen, FYI the humans invented light waaaay waaaaay back in the day... And they have this thing called a switch to turn them on.

Bottom Line: The movie didnt really deserve the 19% rating they got from RT. If it wasnt for the reminiscing of the game, and the chick who didnt know how to wear a bra on mars? It couldve recieved a Rock Bottom from the most electrifying soldier, Sarge...

Almost There

First of all, I would like to extend my congratulations to the October graduates! Cheers! You guys deserve it.

Now for me, it just recently got into me that im about to finish my tenure at San Beda College Alabang (Formerly known as Benedictine Abbey School, and St. Benedict College). After a decade and more, im nearly done. 14 years... thats so long and I'm not planning to extend that, no sir.

Recap, 1st sem of my final year is almost done, ive done pretty good in all of my class standings, finished Thesis 1 without any troubles what-so-ever. Took our graduation pictures, and Year Book write ups. Dont worry ill post them once i get my hands on them i know you guys want me to see in that toga, unfortunately its very fab... we're going to wear a red toga... yeah i know.

Took a look at my final 24 units for next sem, and its pretty much a walk on the park from there. I still cant believe that im almost there. The finish line, right here in front of me. I just have to run a little more, until February that is... and from there, its pretty much the Graduation Practice we all love to ruin heh. Once again, Cheers, until then, we wont smoke it until the fat lady sings... come March? lets all get wasted! we all deserve it! 6 months...

We were once kids
playing along in the streets we lived
Were still kids
playing along our lives we will live

We never thought of this before
we all wanted to be an astronaut
I did, but where am I
We could never know what we want
Unless we explore

We can only take this once
One slip and we're all done
One sip, and we're through
Little by little, we'll shit what we chewed

Proud to be in red
proud to bleed red
Right here, right now...
Its our future in our hands

Good luck everyone
Just a little more to endure
have fun during the run...
Good luck, Were almost done.

Runabout Miseries

I have always thought im alright
I have always thought im strong
tight, bright and always right
somehow i contradict myself, im wrong

im happy, yet im sad
im strong, yet im weak
so soon this feelings will turn bad
but still its happiness we seek

i do have my own principles
i do have my beliefs
torn by my own bristles
im shattered drowning in this reef

im seeking help, pull me away
its dark, it freezes
its not until today
i realized im back with my old miseries.

i miss you...
