A Good Morning

I'm sayin' man... There are very few things in life worth waking up to early in the morning. And a Sausage McMuffin with Egg is worth every single bit. Currently there is the Mega Sausage McMuffin promotion going on where it has not just one... but two succulent sausages with fluffy egg and delicious melted cheese. All in a fresh english muffin.

I only wish it was convenient, affordable and healthier enough to be able to have it everyday for breakfast. To top it off, it should go with a hash brown and a warm cup of chocolate. Om nom nom nom~

Taking for Granted

I will never take for granted breathing, drinking, eating again. I had a throat infection.

I will never take for granted talking, singing, shouting again. I lost my voice after recovery.

Well Its About Time

So few people in this country ever know about Monty Python. I usually only can crack and recite stuff whenever Ewokie is around because he is the only one who knows it. He is the one that introduced me to this North American pop(ish) culture. Though I am not able to appreciate all of their jokes. There are few to me which are true gems that have been inspiration to modern day comedy.

They have finally and officially uploaded their own high quality videos here. Hopefully you guys will take a look at their stuff. Though I am sure many of the local populace might just not get most of the funnies.

Over the Weekend

Among the many things I had to do over the weekend here are some pictures I managed to capture along the way.

I met the majestic Queen of the Red Dragonflight, Alexstrasza which prior to this was only heard of in books and by reputation. She looks so much hotter than ever imagined. Standing beside her is one of her most important consorts, Korialstrasz, her most favored and useful consort; male-whore. I guess when you're Queen of all life, you can disregard your mate's feelings and just find any younger replacement.

I also went to gather some information about events that have yet to happen or have happened, with the assistance of my future self. Can't say there is any better looking person than that! Together with our uber gear and skills, we manage to wreak havoc against those that tried to stop us.

I also came face to face with Arthas, the Lich King himself... once again saying that he won't turn destroy me just yet. Apparently when you're all that powerful you tend to delay your wrath on people who seem like a potential threat to you. I also had to get into position, in front of him. I was originally on the right of him but had to position myself for a better camera shot.

Allow Me to Introduce Ourselves

Everybody is selfish. Everybody looks out for themselves. Do things which only benefit them, whether gratifications come instantly or are set to mature. This is what makes human. To acknowledge is to be honest. To be honest acknowledging it is to be aware. To be aware is power gained. The power to do something about it. Most people do not. In fact, they not only acknowledge it, they embrace it like a hidden affair that they do not want others to know, or would ever admit to having.

This very essence corrupts even the most beautiful person. The outward beauty of the person may remain, but inside they are rotten and decayed. As time goes by, it will be seen on the outside as well. Like how the living rot inside destroys everything and eventually the artificiality that is the husk.

Now most people will first think that my meaning of selfish is that of a person who is greedy and only does stuff for himself or the opposite of being generous. This is only a fraction of what selfishness is. There are many things a person does or does not, which can also be a selfish act.

Let me get one thing clear for you lame-men out there. Selfish does not mean a person who vendors fish. '-ish' is added to give some form of approximate value. Like foolish. Fool. Foolish. See it working? More to come in future writings.

Oh To Be Young Again

Well... that and especially still studying. Where I have the freedom and time to play games!

The anticipated games for the ending of this year.

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King


Wow, it has been around 3 years since I started playing World of Warcraft, back in the days when Molten Core was a big thing all the way until Burning Crusade now. Blizzard will be releasing their 2nd expansion next week. I already preordered mine yargh! If you guys have not heard of World of Warcraft, it is an MMO which takes places in the timeline after Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne. You play a character immersed in the world of Azeroth and in their first expansion Burning Crusade; the Outland. If you liked the RTS Warcraft 1, 2 and 3 this game will be a great addition in satisfying your hunger for more game lore. You will actually get to quest and adventure in the geographical setting of Warcraft! I know I was ecstatic upon finding out that I could visit the Dark Portal as well as being able to see famous figures like Tyrande and even Zul'jin.

Wrath of the Lich King shifts back the focus to Arthas who has merged with the Ner'zhul; the lich king and has begun mobilizing his army threatening the existence of Azeroth. Players will now answer the call to quest and level to 80 and beat the lich king up like a pinata and hope he drops phat epic loots that you can use.


Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3


Okay, I was initially very excited that they were finally creating a follow up to the Red Alert series. However as time went on and they gradually revealed more information of the game, it seem to have turned into something more comedic than focusing on the action. What makes this game worth a look is that they have outdone themselves this time around successfully getting reasonably famous actors for the characters in the game. Big names like Tim Curry, Jonathan Pryce, George Takei and that dude who played J. Jonah Jameson in the Spiderman movies. What is even more enticing is that they got hot chicks as well. Names like Jenny McCarthy, Kelly Hu, Gemma Atkinson and my favorite of them all, Autumn Reeser. They have really gone far to get famous people to promote their stuff. They even made custom video promotions on youtube as response to frequently watched videos there.

The Hoff endorses this.


Tomb Raider Underworld



Lara Croft is still going strong and she looks way better than before. She is one of the few that look hotter as time goes by. Sadly she isn't real. Tomb Raider Underworld continues off where Tomb Raider Legends finished. As far as I can remember, Lara Croft is trying to discover how to get to the land of Avalon, that of King Arthur's myth where she believes her mother is currently trapped. Prior to Tomb Raider Legend, I hated the Tomb Raider series due to its rigid and crappy controls. Upon reading reviews and promotions about how Tomb Raider Legend would be different from its predecessors, I decided to give it a try. Man did they redeem themselves. The controls were so fluid and intuitive that all you had to worry about is how to solve the level. Now with Tomb Raider Underworld, they promise even more fluid motions and seemingly real that it blends well with the environment. I've seen the screenshots and it does look real promising.

So many games, so many hours required to play them, so little time to do so... Sigh

Playing Solitaire

Is it worth leaving everything behind,
Trying to pursue this so called happiness,
When it was maybe what you had all along,
And were just too oblivious?

Phone Smarts

I answered a phone call today. I don't know I think it kind of made me go double yoo tee eff.

Woman: Hello can I speak to [Name of staff withheld].
Me: He no longer works here.
Woman: Then uh... can I speak to you?

(What in the world...)

Me: What is this regarding?
Woman: Uh... this is regarding server/domain renewal.
Me: For which site?
Woman: [Name of company withheld].
Me: I see, the person in charge currently is out of the office.
Woman: Is it [Name of my boss withheld]?
Me: No, the person in charge is [Name of my colleague withheld]. If it is urgent I will get him to call you as soon as he returns to the office.
Woman: It's okay la, we have his number. We're a server/domain company you know?

(...)

Me: ... okay!

*Sigh* Do I really need to explain how things should have been done? Okay for the benefit of you people. She should have first addressed herself; who she was and where she was from followed by asking to speak with whoever she needed to speak to. At least state her reason for calling after asking for the person she needed to contact. Instead of trying to dig her way in trying to drop off whatever responsibility she has on the next most convenient person. You tell me shit I don't know about won't do any use.

After actually offering to get whoever she was looking for to contact her, she pulls this shit where she knows what she's doing by stating what her company does. That wasn't really clear to me but okay. I guess the bottom line was that she had the contacts, then why didn't she call there in the first place?

Erebētā Akushon!


How many of you remember that game on Nintendo? Where you played as a spy going down a tall building with shit loads of elevators in them. You had to transit between these unrealistic number of elevators within the one building to get to the ground floor. Of course, proving to be a hindrance are enemies dressed in black and other stuff (I didn't get really far to encounter other stuff).

You are armed with a gun and have a jump ability, which in my experience was never really useful for anything except to activate a funny sound effect when you jumped. I used to think you could jump over enemy bullets as a way of defense against enemies. Truth is it does not work that way and you only end up looking like you were jumping into position to get shot in the nuts. Which is what happens.

* * * * *

So what's up with those people that use elevators in this country? Just as they are retardedly inconsiderate at places like the LRT and eating areas, there is no exception for elevators. Ever had the experience, where you were in the elevator wanting to get out, but people are standing right in the middle of the doorway wanting to get in? I mean what the hell is that? Common sense would be to make way for people to get out, so you would have space to get in. Instead, they rather push and squeeze their way in while people are trying to get out. I wish I could shout to them to get out of my face or sparta-kick them out of my way.

I don't care if you have no manners. Get some freaking common sense. Get out of my way so I can get out of your way.
