The thoughts of gaming and Need for Speed: The Run

Need for Speed: The Run, in an "underground world of illicit, high-stake racing".
As i was browsing through different reviews, I must say I'm getting really stoked about Need for Speed, wait for it... The Run. I'm not really what you call a 'gamer' but I do play games/videogames whenever possible, whenever I'm the mood to play (well, I'm always in the mood to play) and whenever my schedule permits me.

When I was a kid (the days of family computer, gameboy and playstation) I always find time to escape siesta or nap time to play videogames. I couldn't stay long outside, run and play with my kiddo neighbors around our village due to some.. hmm. not really good health condition - as a kid I'm not that healthy though I'm energetic, I'm always the skinny one, oh well, until now I'm still the skinny one or I believe, the sexy one! (hahaha!). So back to the gaming stuff.. Playing video games was the real last resort to devastate my boring days at home (aside from reading books and being a nerd). My dad who was from I-can't-remember-where- country shipped a gameboy for my big brother and I, I was very very happy then and to brag: mine was a lot prettier and awesomer than my big brother's gameboy, because mine was the Pokemon edition and his gameboy was just a mmm.. plain. (bwahaha!) So I started playing Pokemon, red version, silver, gold and many other versions of it, then I shifted to Smurfs, Tom and Jerry, Power Ranger, Batman and the legendary.. Super Mario.

Like many other kids, I've always wanted the most advance of all gaming stuff. I even rant about it and yeah, tantrums.. My grandpa was always teasing me, telling me that I'm sutil (hahaha!) and he kept on asking me why I always like boy stuff (and yeah UNTIL NOW. I'm a huge fan of Batman and Star Wars! I think my granpa was expecting that I'm a fan of Barbie, Hello Kitty, Bratz, Poly pockets and many other girly girly stuff.. But I am not. I'm not a lesbian though. I think I'm a girly girly too, but not on those said stuff.) And back to the sutil mode.. that I was really consistent hahaha one day my grandparents brought me a Playstation (If I'm not mistaken that's the first ever Playstation, the gray one? right?) and that's when Crash Bandicoott took place, also with Bust A Groove 1 and 2, Dance Revolution, Metal Slug and NEED FOR SPEED. Fast forward! I love Need for Speed, though I'm not used to remember the earlier versions of it, but when it comes to car racing, it's always Need for Speed for me. Last week, I watched a movie with my cousin (Immortals it is!) and found out a great gaming store along the cinema floor and I told myself that it's a must to have a look to those new games. The store was awesome! I want those new games! I was a bit sad though because it flashed to my mind that the Xbox that I'm using seems to have a tragic problem.. It can't read CD's!! I think the lens is seriously F-up! My uncle told me that we need to get it fixed and we need to upgrade it too so that I could play the new games! (like Skyrim, NEED FOR SPEED: THE RUN and NBA2K12). 

We don't have Xbox to use as of now but we still have PSP that could handle.. hmm. Angry Birds, Sonic, Puzzle games, NBA2k12 and Need for Speed: Undercover. Need for Speed: Undercover is really awesome too, most of time I'm using a Pontiac Firebird (that I wish I also have it in real life) or a Mazda 2. I actually discovered Need for Speed: The Run because a friend of mine told me so, then I was stoked and it came to the point that the game can't even able to let my mind be free from the thoughts of it. The Run includes a story mode set during cross-country road race from San Francisco to New York, including also iconic cars (wow!) and it can really lure you into an underground world of illicit high-stakes racing. Need for Speed: The Run is just really.. wow, woot! That's it.

Montalban Waterpark and Garden Resort

A 15-20-minute ride from Commonwealth, Quezon City, Montalban Waterpark and Garden Resort is one of the nearest relaxation spots where you can swim and enjoy peace and quiet time (given that it is not peak season). Entrance fee is P250 and they allow guests to bring their own food and drinks. There's also a convenience store near the entrance that sells everything from charcoal to rice and other things you might need to grill, cook, or eat; and of course, toiletries, most importantly. Cottage rental amounts to P700-P1000; if you are a group of  20 or more people, there's a pavilion available for rent that can accommodate that much. They also have an area where you can conduct seminars and other events such as debuts, weddings, birthdays, etc. You can also use the videoke for P900 (or if you can haggle, you can only get it for P700) and it is good for use during your entire stay, so you better get your songs ready and lined-up. Their restrooms and shower rooms are impressi...

Ang Liham ni Andres Bonifacio kay Ka Oryang

1897  Mayo  1 Mahal kong Oryang, Andres Bonifacio at Gregoria de Jesus photo from the web Mali ka. Hindi kita nakasalubong upang sa dulo ng kalsada, ako ay liliko sa kanan at ikaw sa kaliwa. Sapagkat saan man tayo dalhin ng ating pakikibaka, ikaw lang ang aking itatangi at makailang ulit na ihaharap sa pulang bandila. Hindi tayo nagpalitan ng kwento upang sa pinakahuling tuldok ng pangungusap, ang karugtong ay alingawngaw ng katahimikan. Walang pagod kitang aawitan ng imnong pambayan, Oryang. Hindi kailanman ako mauubusan ng salita upang maialay sa iyo bilang mga tula. Maging ang bulong at buntung-hininga'y magpapahayag ng pagsinta sa tulad mong umiibig din sa bansa. Hindi tayo sabay na tumawa, nagkatinginan, at tumawa pa nang mas malakas, upang sa paghupa ng halakhak ay may butil ng luha na mamimintana sa ating mga mata. Loobin man ng Maykapal na pansamantala tayong magkawalay, tandaan mong ang halakhak at sigaw ng ating mga kasamahan ay sa akin rin. Hindi ka dapat m...

Some might find it weird about how we juggle up on our interests. Some would say that there's always so much going on and some (might) find it interesting, too. Nonetheless, we just do what we love, what we are interested and passionate about and even the things we don't even know at hand hence trying out and its conversion. Interests, passions and talents turn to 'work' and eventually to crafts (well, whichever comes first). And same goes as what Tina Fey once said, "Your work is your craft and your craft is your art." How we care and hone our given skills and talents, as well dig into the deeper process on the things we are interested about (and even with those we are not totally into); then learning goes along with it.  Speaking of interests and different approach to ideas, medium and overall art... art galleries and/or museums are the best places to see the various aforementioned accessions.  I've visited different art galleries and museums...
