I came across this article or rather it's a note in FB from a friend and HS classmate - Rayray C.

Read on... Don't forget to leave a comment? :-P

1. Malibog.

All men have sex in their minds. It's a universal truth. But to tell you frankly girls, it's not really our fault. God made us with high testosterone levels and our genes command us to act this way. If this isn't our natural tendency, then how would the human race procreate? It's a man's nature to be "malibog" kaya wag niyo kamingsisisihin kung madalas kami humingi ng sex. Its our balls that command us, and not our brains.

2. Liars.

Dont ask me questions and I won't tell you lies. This is true, you know. Meron kasing mga bagay na hindi namin kayang I-share sa mga gf/asawa namin kaya nakakapagsinungaling kami, kasi pinipilit kaming sumagot sa mga bagay na ayaw naming sagutin. We try to hide things and if we cant hide it anymore, we lie. This tactic is perfected thru time kaya iyung ibang guys eh medyo natural na sa kanila ang mag-lie. Remember, we value our privacy and would rather lie than sacrifice losing it.

3. I'm the MAN!


We must have this feeling that we are in control. Ayaw naming me kumander kami, iyung me nag-cocommand sa amin. (We are open to suggestions, though). And one more thing... if we say that we are not lost, We are not lost! Trust us. Don't you know that us guys eventually find our way. Girls really don't realize this but we hate it when our egos are bruised. RESPECT your man. Women take this thing for granted. Alam nyo, pag paulit-ulit nagawa ito ng babae, naghahanap kami ng ibang babae. Why? 'Cause this is the easiest way for us to boost our egos again.


4. Buddy.

We stick with our friends. We must have time with our buddies you know? Its not everyday that only the gf/wife gets our time. We always have the need to do those "boys night out" stuff. The feeling is different when you are with your buddies and when you are with your gf/wife. Babalik rin naman kami sa inyo e. Sigurado yan. Pag hindi kami bumalik...may mali kayo sa # 3.


5. Quiet.

Sometimes, we are just plain quiet. This scenario happens all the time: GF/wife asks the bf/husband why he is quiet, the bf/husband says "nothing", then the gf/wife insists there's something wrong, when there is really not. Tapos, away na. Actually girls, we are not as chatty as you are, even with our buddies. Do you notice that we sometimes just nod at each other and still understand each other? We like being quiet sometimes. That's just it.




1. Malambing.

All women are malambing. It's a universal truth. But to tell you frankly guys, it's not really our fault. Kasi u guys sometimes forget to make pansin your gf's e. if we are not malambing then how would the human race procreate? It's a woman's nature to be "malambing" kaya wag niyo kaming sisisihin kung madalas kami maging mushy. Do you ever imagine kung puro guys nalang ang mundo! Nothing will ever balance it around. A classic example: Diba pag may nag susuntukan na 2 guys, pag guys din ang umaawat between them sobrang gusto pang kumawala ng nagaaway na guys... pero pag girl ang umaawat... nag te-tame silang mga guys... Kase women balance the WORLD! That is how God made us.

2. Lovers.

This is true, you know. Meron kasing mga bagay na hindi naming kayang itago. masyado kaming ma-emote. We try to hide things and if we cant hide it anymore, we literally explode! Madrama kami. This tactic is perfected thru time kaya iyung ibang girls eh medyo natural na sakanila ang magdrama. Masyado kaming concentrated sa love. Diba...majority of guys are so not into this type, they feel na a man should act li ke a man! Pero hello... guys wonder so much kase why girls can hold hands together straight girls, ok!) without feeling insecure but straight men can't! - WHY??? kase you guys always want to keep your ego oozing out like hell! You should definitely feel us to really know us, y'know!


3. I'm your girl!

We must have this feeling that we always have your attention. Ayaw naming me kahati kami. Ayaw naming me kahati kami. Got that?

4. Baby.

We want to be treated like a baby. You must have time for us. Wag laging barkada. We always have the need to have those "romantic nights". Its such a different feeling being with your bf. Because we get to cuddle, kiss, hug.... Kase kayong guys always want to have more babies even big, sexy babies!... and you reason out na its human nature for you to procreate???? come on!

5. Makulet.

We are sumtimes just plain makulet. This scenario happens all the time: gf asks the bf why he is quiet, the bf says "nothing", then the gf says there's sumthing wrong, the gf insists that there is sumthing wrong when there is really not until a word war comes out. Pero baket naman nga you can’t reason out why you're so quiet. The world knows guys are one-track-minded daw. Unlike women where we can't really decide and frequently change our minds at the last minute... then if you say nothing...then why do you act so different! THERE REALLY IS SOMETHING... the trick here guys: just reason out something different from the real reason why you feel that way... you 'know! you're good naman in making excuses e diba? e di no away na... Actually guys, we are not as lame and quiet as you are. Even with our buddies, can you notice that we sometimes just cant stop talkin? We like chattin even when there's really nothing to be said... like now.;) Read More

Grabbed from Dirk's blog.

Nag enjoy akong bumasa neto. Tama nga sila, dumaan nga ako sa pagiging bata. Haha. Ang kulit!


• Masaya ka kapag naglalaro ka ng Tex at Pog. Kadalasan ang design dito ay yung mga palabas sa TV, mga drama o kaya anime, may dialogue pa. lol.

• May comics pa ang bazooka. Kahit di mo maintindihan yung Fortune Cookie sa huli ay collection mo pa rin yun.

• Uso pa yung tirador, yung gawa talaga sa sanga ng puno.

• Ang mga babae naglalaro ng paper dolls na tigpipiso bawat isang set sa sari-sari store.

• Kung lalake ka, siguradong may pellet gun ka.

• Humihingi ka ng dalawang piso sa magulang mo para maglaro ng video arcade sa sari-sari store. Favorite mo yung Sonic, Mario at Street Fighter at Tetris.

• Nagwa-watusi ka kapag New Year kahit pinapagalitan ka ng nanay mo. ]

• Meron kang sapatos na umiilaw yung swelas kapag iniaapak mo. Mas sikat kung iba-iba yung kulay.

• Merong at least isang Chicago Bulls na shirt sa bahay nyo. Madalas number 23 pa yung nakalagay.

• Pinapatulog ka ng yaya/nanay mo tuwing tanghali o hapon para raw lumaki. Hindi na kasi pinapatulog ang mga bata ngayon tuwing tanghali di tulad nung panahon natin.

• Sinasabihan ka ng matatanda na may lalabas na pari o bigas sa sugat mo kapag hindi nilagyan ng alcohol pero in the end, betadine lang ang magpapatahimik sa inyo.

• Kung babae ka, nagkaroon ka ng butterfly hairclips/rings. ( si Jolina ang nagpauso nito.) haha.

• Kung medyo may pera ang pamilya nyo, nagpabili ka ng Polly Pocket.

• Naglalagay ka ng Kisses (yung mabango) sa pencil case mo, o kaya sa isang lalagyan na may bulak, alcohol at tinutusok ng karayom para mabilis manganak.

• May free stickers ng Disney movies sa loob ng Maggi noodles.


• Pinapatunog mo yung takip ng Gatorade.

• Ang mga stationeries na uso: Papemelroti, Tsukuba, Sashikibuta. Pwedeng ibenta, pwedeng trade lang.

• Pampalipas oras mo dati ang paglalaro ng Brick Game, at swerte yung mga may advanced version na may tumatagos na blocks para mapuno na yung gap sa loob. Mas advanced ka kung Tamagotchi ang nilalaro mo. Pinapakain mo, pinapatulog mo, at inililibing mo kung namatay na. At kung talagang kaya nyong bumili, Game Boy ang sayo. Pero kung wala ka talaga, yung laruan na lang na may tubig sa loob tapos dapat ma-shoot mo yung mga bilog sa stick na maliit.

• Bago magsimula ang klase, nakikilaro ka muna sa 10-20, jackstone, langit lupa, ice water, taguan, dr. quack quack, tumbang preso, pepsi seven up at agawan base. Di bale nang madumi na ang uniform mo pagpasok ng classroom.

• Sinasabi mo sa kaklase mo na "Liars go to hell" kapag tingin mo nagsisinungaling sya. "Cross my heart, hope to die" kapag nangangako ka. "Period no erase" kapag gusto mo walang kumontra sayo. Kaya lang wala kang lusot kapag sinabi ng kaklase mo na "Akin yung factory ng pambura".

• Sikat ka pag ang pencil case mo nabubuksan sa dalawang side tapos maraming attachments like magnifying lens, book stand, compartments na maliliit tapos push button pa. Minsan sa ibabaw ng pencil case meron pang maze, may maliit na silver na bola tapos itatagilid mo yung pencil case para gumulong yun, hanggang sa matapos yung maze.

• Kinakanta nyo dati sa school yung "Heal the World", "Tell the World of His Love", "Jubilee Song", etc.

• Nanonood ka dati ng Power Rangers, Captain Planet o Ninja Turtles. Nagkukunyari pa kayo ng mga kaibigan mo na kayo yun at nagkakasipaan kayo.

• Di ka papagalitan ng magulang kahit magbabad ka sa TV, basta ang pinapanood mo ay Hiraya Manawari, Bayani at Sine Skwela, kung saan nakilala mo sila Teacher Waki, Ugat Puno, Palikpik, at ang buong barkada nila lalo na kapag nakasakay sila sa space ship o sa jeep na lumilipad.

• Sinubaybayan mo ang Ghost Fighter at ang Dragon Ball. Naging favorite mo si Eugene at si Goku.

• Chinese variety shows ang palabas tuwing umaga ng linggo.

The IT3 did enjoy our 10-18-19-06 Trip… After having our dinner with my mates down the space burger and them at a nearby cafe (which i forgot the name) We decided to have our tripping. They wanted to go to someplace exciting. Excitement as in lots of fun and risks. You know, how about going to interlude or someplace similar to that. hehehe.. We went bar hopping (at least everyone at the back of the pick-up knew what i meant) we pass by autoshop, venue, and wew, didn’t quite expect it but landed on the… no, not in MARS, but it is way much better that MARS… we landed on QueensLand. wew! don’t think bad, we just go there to out of curiousity. We park the vehicle nearby the shore, and
just good enough to sniff the smell of the saltiness of the sea. We ate balot (me, plong, kitel, and badjoy) while the others are strolling down the sea. and we talk about stuffs that we don’t normally talk like… (secret!) and we talk and we talk… we talk about stuffs like the teenage stuffs and about the place and about the magnificent statue that Kuya is so curioust about. There badjoy also divulge teptep’s nick - CHICHAY and donna’s nick… (ano nga un???) hehehe.. then after which, we went to a nearby gasoline station to withdraw (C.R.) what we have eaten a while ago. and then deposit food for the vehicle (gasolina). By that time it was past 12 midnight. But everyone isn’t ready to go home. After thinking for a place to stay, they finally decided to go the Chowking. We hopped again to the vehicle and off it goes to Chowking bajada. But then as we entered some of our doodz parted because of some circumstances for instance Kuya Cris because of programming, and dirk because of i dunno. and ghetz which i do not know too. anyways,
There we ate food “Unusually” because we ate against conditions… hehehe… (si leri lang pala un) After a hearty meal. (para sa iba its their breakfast), We then finally decided to go home because its past 2 am na and some of us will be having our defense. We first drop off plong at belisario, then we go to (tagal ko nalaman) jade valley to visit the norstrom’s head programmer and kitels. after which we then search for kuja’s abode and then dropped him (este her pala) off. Then next in line is kitels (for which how many times i thought na bababa na tlga xa kac un na place nya). Then after we drop mario to his pigeon hole and next we dropped donna to his home with me as backup and with a few bodyguards guarding (guarding bah? murag dle gyud.) nearby. Then off we got to teppy’s (chichay’s) house alongside with badjoy and leria and me. We dropped them off (cla duha ni teppy-chichay ug badj) to teppy’s (chichay’s) home then after dropping them off me and leria went home (actually nakikisakay lang po ako) and then she drops me off in the kanto and i rode a motor to my home (kac ayaw daw ni leria ihatid ako kac takot na xa about sa… kaya pala may unan) and then i just went home and un… i am here writing about what happened today… wee… i can’t sleep and its about 6 am here and its minutes to count before i have to take a bath and prepare for school (hanep no walang tulugan). Till hir ciao! and IT3 your my best family ever!!!

Cosplay has been a major trend nowadays. When we hear about “Anime”, we relate it to cosplay or cosplaying. But what is Cosplaying?

Cosplaying or Cosplay is a Japanese term for cosplaying. It is equivalent to the the western term ‘Masquerade’. It is basically a time for fans to dress up in their favorite costume or as their favorite character. There is this condition that comes with it. You will not only play the character in dress but also the character’s nature. By means, you will have to act as if you are the character itself.

Criticism or Critique is a reasoned judgment or analysis, interpretation or observation of a person. It is divided into two (2) categories - Constructive Criticism and Destructive Criticism. To simplify, the former dwells more on a positive criticism that uplifts the other person materially, morally, emotionally or spiritually. The latter dwells on with the negative criticism. It is intended to harm someone, derogate and destroy someone’s creation, prestige, reputation and self-esteem on whatever level it might be (i.e. “bashing”)

Combining both, Cosplay Criticism is a form of reasoned judgment or analysis of a person (critic) towards how the person portrays the character. Was that person able to play the character in nature as well as the way he/she dress or not? Cosplay criticism is not new to us. Same as fashion models and prestigious restaurants and other entities, they are all receiving a critics’ comment/s, and cosplaying is not an exception to the wary eyes of criticism.

But how does society look at it?

The following comments are true and unaltered. They came from real people with real experiences. I’d like to share their piece of the pie about it:

“Cosplay Critique (Criticism) - It’s looking through every OBJECTIVE angle to identify the mistakes. It’s somewhat related to bashing only because they both comment on the cosplayers’ faults. Bashing is subjective while critiquing isn’t.”

~ Enzo ~

“Cosplay critique- defines the judgment of a viewer to a cosplayer. Critiques may vary based on a cosplayer’s costume, portrayal and props. It is generally an OBJECTIVE CRITICISM, which is really based on the portrayal of the character. Bashing is a different kind of criticism which involves too much SUBJECTIVE CRITICISM… in other words, bashing involves personal aspect to a cosplayer. However, a cosplay critique may involve bashing due to the fact the judge/the viewer may involve his/her personal standards cosplaying. However when, official judging is involved, it is the discretion of the judge whether he/she will involved his/her personal standards to as a tool of judging along with the criteria given or not. Hence, bashing is just for people who are born out of IGNORANCE. A true Cosplay Critique is 90% objective and 10% subjective.”

~ Rob ~

“Cosplay criticism is a professional way of justifying your criticism; it’s constructive and has worth whether it’s bad or good. Bashing in the other hand is the complete negative side of cosplay criticism.”

Hmm... Things become a little wilder as days passed by. Lol. After a long break (Holy Week) I have to go to work again and work means 8 hours of never ending, (expect breaks) butt-wrenching, eye-blobbing, and head-burning, muscle-stiffing, work. (lmao!). Yep, I do work now. T_T

I applied to BHIPRO (An outsourcing company just located here in Davao) as a web programmer/developer(i dunno. XD). Hmmm... as I stated from my previous entry, I get to work with familiar faces. Yet, I am still a stranger to that room. I oftentimes see faces staring blankly at me in glimpsing manner as if scrutinizing me from head to foot. Makes me think of them as human-scanners lmao..

And of course, after work, I don't get to do things I often do such as, playing, watching a couple of episodes from my movie stash, playing DOTA or something(sequel ta!?) or grab something to eat. The usual thing I do now which I has been labeled to me for not a long time ago but a long long time ago. And that is(Chedeng!) * (You got it right!) Ishleeping. Thinking the sooner the clock struck 9:00, the sooner I get to pack up my belongings, sign myself out out of the logbook and drag my whole body downstairs towards the other side of the road to wait for a ride, the sooner I got home, the sooner I hit the slack the BETTER! (wow, taas ba noon?).

Never realized that I have myself entrapped now into a box. Reality(Anton, hiramin ko muna ha?) has ensnared me into doing things over and over again now. A protocol or would I say a "stored procedure" is programmed into me. Reality did draw a thief towards me. I never realized it coming until it has finished its job. So I have finished mine for the day. And so as I ended my day into slumber, I kept on thinking what is in store for me the next day.

And tonight, as I try to sleep, I keep on thinking... if Pacquiao will win tomorrow or not, malaki-laki rin baya ang pusta ko sa kay Solis (Lmao!), or if I will be the next millionaire, the next senator, the next president of RP(gagawin kong DOTA capital of Asia ang RP) or... *pauses* just kidding. Hehehe... But what I kept on thinking is if there is a possibility, a slight chance, that I can break that chain of being ensnared to reality.
Counting years to months, counting months to weeks and weeks to days till I count days to hours to minutes up to the last seconds to milliseconds to too-oo Zzzzz.... (Until I fell asleep).

*Hahaha... salamat sa pagbabasa. Don't worry walang kabuluhan yan ^^. Ginawa ko yan habang inaantay na abutin ng antok. Ayan dumating na ang antok. Cge tulog na ako, hanggang sa muli.*
