Lazy Sunday #32: Undas

Time flies by so fast these days huh. The month of November has already started and I didn't even notice it! Well since it's November 1, people go to cemeteries to visit their loved ones who passed away. Since I couldn't go to my province because of thesis, I just stayed here and went to the columbarium (a place where urns are kept; like a cemetery for urns). And I just learned that word earlier!

Lazy Sunday #32: Back to the Arcades

Note: I already got this done last Sunday but I forgot to publish it. Silly me.

I can still remember when I started playing fighting games competitively in the arcades. It was during the times of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection then it continued until the release of Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion. I stopped playing because Tekken 6 was a disappointment for me so I quit. It's not as exciting as T5:DR.

When I stopped, I moved on to continue my other hobby: collecting collectibles (I find that funny).

Parallax Returns...Again?

I was browsing through the solicitations for DC Comics in January of next year and I came across this cover for Green Lantern #50. What's so intriguing about this cover is it shows a character that I haven't seen for years - Hal Jordan as Parallax.

This maniac killed every Green Lantern there is and eventually destroyed the planet of Oa. However, I still find him as a cool villain, even if he was just a way to later introduce Kyle Rayner as the last Green Lantern.

So will we see him again next year?

Lazy Sunday #31: Happy Birthday Gwen!

Today is one of my best friend's birthday, Gwen. So I'll greet you a happy birthday! We had a get together last Friday at Glorietta. She arrived late but it's okay. No biggie. Anyway, we watched The Ugly Truth and it was one of the greatest romantic comedy movies this year.

Here are some snowcones for you.

Superman's Powers in Detail

Ever wondered the nuts and bolts of Superman's powers? If you're not satisfied with Wikipedia's answers, try this instead: Ben Tippet wrote an actual scientific paper about Superman's powers titled, "A Unified Theory of Superman's Powers."

How about that for a thesis paper eh?

Avengers Assemble Again for SIEGE

Bendis announced a new "Marvel event" called Siege, where the Dark Reign of Norman Osborn will end. It's a four-issue mini series that will start in January next year.

Lazy Sunday #30: Disasterrific!

I'm finally back and got my lazy ass up to post here after getting stranded in a place without contact to the internetz. First of all, I feel sorry for those who got their homes destroyed by the typhoon Ketsana/Ondoy, and f*ck you to those looters who took advantage of the situation.

In my opinion, Ondoy wasn't really that strong compared to other typhoons that went by here. It just rained and rained nonstop from night 'til the next day. But still it got me wondering why suddenly this awful country became submerged like Atlantis.

Old DualShock 2 Controller

After the events of a typhoon that struck this country weeks ago, I got the time to clean up my room thoroughly. And I found a lot of my old things. Most of them are already too old to work again. Just like this:

My PS2 controller. I remember it brand new just like yesterday.
