New Internet meme: Cheer up, Keanu Reeves!

(Image Source)

This new Internet meme got me LOLing. =)) Curiosity got me when I was this pic off my tumblr dashboard posted by noisyman.

It’s been a while since I last heard any news about Keanu Reeves and the only memorable movie he did for me was Constantine. As an actor, he was constantly bashed for his lack of ‘acting’ skills and when a random shot of him was leaked in the Net, speculations like he was out of a job or being depressed gave birth to these memes. Found ‘em all quite amusing and relaxed by stressed mind for a bit.

Manga Update! Fantasista Ch. 83-84 is out!

I have been reading this manga for a while now. Obviously, based on the featured image above, Fantasista is a soccer manga by Kusaba Michiteru. It tells the story about Sakamoto, a boy skilled with the soccer ball handling as taught by his sister. He goes to the city to study high school there at the request of his sister who coaches the school’s soccer team. But as great as his skills may be, he has never ever played soccer with a team. And that’s what Fantasista is all about: it follows the tears and the triumphs of Sakamoto’s training at school until he catches the eye of an Italian scout who believes that he is born a ‘fantasista’–one who makes the crowd go wild in anticipation with the kind of play that he will create. The scout believes that Sakamoto is born for the world cup.

I was very much excited when I saw that Fantasista has been finally updated after being silent for almost 3 months. I’ve been eagerly following the current arc which is… ***SPOILER ALERT: READ AFTER SPOILER ALERT BREAK***

[SPOILER ALERT:

where Sakamoto, along with the other U-18, is now facing the crowd favorite Italian team. Marco, whom he has met before their match, has finally entered the court and led the Italian team to their first goal. Kondo, Sakamoto's rival within the team, airs out his displeasure and disappointment and lays the blame on Sakamoto for his failed pass before the first half was over. Gasp, yeah? Yeah.]

***SPOILER OVER***]

…ultimately the most exciting for me. This arc delves deeper into the psyche of Sakamoto’s teammates and it was a very action-packed. These two chapters are truly page-turners! Reading these made me feel like I was really watching a soccer tournament on TV. I could feel the crowd going wild, I could feel the team’s tension and the other team’s elation. It was just so damn frustrating that Chapter 84 ended with that cruel, cruel cliffhanger! I got goosebumps on my face and arms already! x.x Already craving for an update! I want to know the next storyline now!

The manga wasn’t really supposed to be funny but the chapter titles kind of cracked me up a bit: Chapter 83 – “The Thing To Put In” and Chapter 84  – “Sakamoto x Kondo = ?”. Hahaha, that’s… an explosive pair. Haha.

It’s just a quickpost; I’ll probably write the chapter summaries for those who crave for spoilers haha. I still have an article for work to finish so til next!

P.S. I’m reading this manga at OneManga.com so if you’re interested to read this wonderful, wonderful manga, click here.

The Theory of Soulmates, According to Plato

“According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with 4 arms, 4 legs and a head with 2 faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search for other halves.”
–Plato’s The Symposium

“I love you because I know no other way…” ~Pablo Neruda

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

-Pablo Neruda’s Sonnet XVII, “I do not love you…”

Missing and Reminiscing My Noobie World of Warcraft Adventure and Gaming In General

I’ll probably give this one-shot the title, QWQ? (Quest-what-Quest?). Thanks to my officemate who sent me the link to this. =)

“]

Quest? What Quest? [From Sundayat10.com

Quest-What-Quest?

It’s somewhat a play around the PWP style adopted in writing fanfictions which means Plot-What-Plot. Technically, it’s a drabble without a definite premise and conclusion and mainly focusing on the problem/situation at hand. Sometimes, playing this game makes you forget the plot altogether.

Two years ago, my fiance Kei had surprised me with a World of Warcraft (WoW) account. For those who are still crawling to catch up in the IT and gaming world news, World of Warcraft is considered as the world’s top massively multiplayer online role playing game or MMORPG for short. It’s a computer game where you can create characters from the races that belong to your “war” alignment (Alliance or Horde). It’s the type of game where you talk to Non-Playable Characters or NPCs who will give you errands or quests that will help your faction’s cause in the great war ahead.

Bridezilla Diaries: Entry #1 of A Bride-To-Be A Month Before Her Wedding

Topic: Of Drapes, Invites and The License to Kill For

Last week, I was accidentally on a week-long leave. I initially filed leaves for Monday and Tuesday to supposedly take care of our marriage license and attend the canonical interview at the church. However, because of some delays, we had to move the license application to another day. With only a month and a few days to go before the wedding, I had to make sure that this week (which are non-paid leaves *sigh*) will be productive. Several meetings popped up every day.

Blue Me Up
My fiance Kei and I met with my mother-in-law one late afternoon to conduct an ocular inspection of our wedding reception in WackWack Golf & Country Club in San Juan City. To my surprise, Pavilion A is actually the same place where my former officemate had his wedding reception. It has a view of the golfing range on one side, and the other is a poolside and a playground.

The Day I Learned About the Existence of the Alpaca and How It Will Help Stop the Oil Spill

I got this off my tumblr page.

The creature you see in the picture isn’t a camel or a llama about to get its death wish from a blade. That animal is called an alpaca, an animal considered as domesticated from some parts of South America like Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Chile. This animal looked a tiny version of a llama. And why am I suddenly blogging about an alpaca, a creature that I didn’t know existed until today?

Despite its size, the alpaca is not apparently bred as a beast of burden like tamaraws, cows, or water buffaloes in Asia; they are bred specifically for their high-quality fiber. Surely we can’t expect wool and other weaving materials for textiles to come from sheep alone right? Right now, the fur of the alpaca in the image above with be among the fiber shorn from 100 alpacas at Eastland Alpaca Farm in Pennsylvania, United States to be donated for a good cause: to help stop the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Brain fart, etcetera, etcetera

I honestly think that it’s wonderful when something you thought unexplainable has a name. I am obsessed with analyzing and categorizing and I breathe details… well, details to things that I am most curious or care about. If I give a hoot about something, then expect it to be properly researched, loved, liked, and hated all at the same time. It is currently a bit of a problem for me because I happen to ‘care about’ a lot of things at the moment.

I am going crazy as to how I would give time to each shit that are in my head right now. I wanted to write down everything. You know, relieve myself of these random thoughts inside my head. Kinda like farting out the bad gas so my tummy will feel better. Or word diarrhea. I am waiting for that feeling of epic relief.

So. Random. Here’s another totally unexpected thing I found that made me go “oooooooh”.
