Tron 2: Legacy
Posted by: | Comments
With my current problem in work and in the family, sometimes I just need to stop listening to the bad news and the stress. Sometimes I just need to cheer up, finish my daily quota of coffee or have a healthy sex with some hot SNSD chick. But sometimes we don’t really have the time to go out of the workplace and the good news can only be brought right in front of our fucking email and newsletters. I am so tired of looking in front of this monitor for like 3 months – 15 hours a day. I’m writing this as a way to unwind from my troubles and to share some really awesome news.
So, a few weeks ago, the world was awed with the new teaser trailer of Tron 2 Legacy. Well what exactly is Tron and where was the first one? Taken from wiki (stripped off some TL;DRs for your convenience):
Tron is a 1982 American action science fiction film by Walt Disney Pictures. Tron has a distinctive visual style, as it was one of the first films from a major studio to use computer graphics extensively. Decades after it first came out, it spawned a franchise consisting of sequel films, videogames, comics and a planned television series.
To put things short, this is what Tron looked like back in 1982 with the Lightcycle in highlight:
Well as you can see, it does look like some cheap-ass Quake 1 rendering but this was back when computer graphics was in its infancy. This is what Transformers, Avatar or District 9 was made of and this is MUCH COOLER than Michael Bay’s work. The graphics may look cheesy but there’s one thing this movie never lacked: A Cyberpunk theme that did an significant strike in Pop Culture. Now this is what Tron 2 looks like:
Man, someday I'll be driving one of these in the freeway
Here’s a link on the very first trailer which I can’t embed because the author was a dick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AwvuirSEAA&feature=related
Now why am I crazed on this Tron fad? You might say “WELL YOU WEREN’T BORN IN THE 80′s, WHY ARE YOU BEING SO OLD?”. Well its because I have some cyber-genetically altered erections when it comes to cyberpunk themes and neon lights that made the 80′s. I admit I haven’t watched the first Tron but I will watch it when I have the time.
Daft Punk? In my Tron 2 Musical Score? OMG!!!
Another thing why I love tron is that Daft Punk is doing the musical score and will also be having a cameo appearance. The cameo appearance may sound stupid because I have no clue how Daft Punk’s existence in the movie will be canon but let’s see where that goes. Daft Punk’s Digital Perspective totally fits the concept of Tron like a jigsaw puzzle and it will surely be great.
Along with Alice in Wonderland’s release, a new Teaser Trailer for Tron 2 was released which reveals a lot of the movie. Drools, awe and anticipations are welcome
One last thing that I love about Tron 2 is that, IT’S GOING TO BE AN AWESOME BIRTHDAY GIFT. It will be on theaters at December 17, 2010 and my birthday is in December 18, 2010.
Now to stop dishing out my broken English grammar because I’m really sleepy while writing this and I can’t think damn straight, I am concluding this post with joy and awe.
PS: Because of inconsistencies with this blog on Google Chrome, I have resized the images to smaller ones. Next time, I’m going to resize the images manually to its optimum resolutions.
My PLDT Bill
Posted by: | CommentsSo here comes a day where I normally wake up, take a bath, eat then sit in front of my computer doing all of my work at home (well I work at home because my employer is my own Dad). So I checked the time, its 2PM and I went to my bed for a little rest.
About 15 minutes later, I heard someone is knocking on our door. So I went up and I checked, its the mailman. I received a bill from PLDT that’s actually named to me. I was wondering if I should open it up or should I just leave it, then I opened it because I’m curious if mom paid the previous bill. Then I checked the balance and there came the horror
HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGHHHH WTF
To my dismay, I found out that my current bill is 4,810.00 PESOS which is equivalent to 5 months(990 pesos per month) of overdue bills. Now, I don’t recall receiving any bill from PLDT last December and I do recall asking mom if she has paid the bills or not, she said she paid its because she pays my bills, not me. The account is just named to me.
Who wouldn’t find this disappointing? If its true that mom lied to me and she hasn’t paid 5 months of the bill then why would PLDT allow this kind of silent debt that I’m building? If I recall correctly, the internet in our cafe got cut off because of 2 overdue accounts. But this? 5 months? Oh come on, you’ve gotta be kidding me.
Aside from the debt problem, I have been experiencing a really bad latency on my internet while connecting to Singapore servers. And just this day, my internet is close to screwed for being really slow, slower than a limping hog. So am I paying this debt or am I going to wait till my internet gets fixed real good? It’s not just me that’s experiencing the really broken speeds but I have friends as well who are disgruntled about it.
Last but not the least, my landline is even close to broken. People can call my landline but I won’t know if they’re calling or not because the phone wont effing RING. If I call people with the landline, I can hear a little static and interference. It’s so broken, I don’t think I should be paying the bill.
About the debt, I’m gonna ask mom if she knows about this. And when I’m already going to pay, PLDT has to make sure that my landline and my internet gets fixed. I don’t want to keep on paying a service that’s broken and hassles you A LOT. Kiss that PLDT.
Oh well, I hope my internet gets disconnected for a few months so dad would be so disappointed about the work getting halted because the internet got cut. A lot of collaborating developers too would be pissed to find out that the internet connection of my mini-web server is broken. So yeah, wake up call.
Speaking of wake up call, here’s a really nice and sexy song from Maroon 5 titled “Wake Up Call”
Oh, my first post. Thanks for reading. Have a good day and good luck!
SNSD Album out on February
Posted by: | Comments
Popular girl group SNSD revealed that their new album will be released at the beginning of the New Year.
According to SNSD’s manager, on the morning of January the 6th, SNSD’s new album featuring new songs will be released at latest by the end of February.
SNSD’s manager stated “SNSD has been working on this album for a while now”, and “Therefore, it is highly probable that the album will be released before the end of February”. Also “We have not decided whether this album will be a full album or a mini-album, but it is likely that the album will be a full album.
Last January, SNSD’s mini-album ‘Gee’ was recorded and released and it became a huge hit. Also, at the beginning of 2008, their first full album that contained “Kissing You”, and “Baby Baby” was a big hit as well, thus it is very likely that their new album will be a huge success as well.
