Everybody cursed Michael Bay and his crew for changing the look of their favorite Autobots and Decepticons by creating intricate design aesthetics for the computer-generated robots. The robots “updated” versions discarded the original “blocky” look from the original TV series giving them more menacing and somewhat alien-like forms. The alternate forms of the Transformers also suffered from the movie “updates”. Optimus Prime’s original Freightliner Cab-over-engine alternate mode was discarded and replaced by a Peterbilt 379 Truck. Megatron now had an alternate mode of a Cybertronian Jet rather than his original Walther P38 9 mm pistol mode. Most of the Autobots had GMC vehicles now as their alternate modes: Ratchet became a Hummer H2 Search and Rescue SUV, Ironhide became a Topkick pickup truck, and Jazz had an alternate mode of a Pontiac Solstice roadster. But the biggest blow to the fans of the original series was the reimagining of fan-favorite Bumblebee, originally a cute and lovable Volkswagen Beetle, into a Chevrolet Camaro.<br /><br />Why did this happen? Why a complete overhaul to the most charming feature of everybody’s favorite bug? <br /><br />Today, I share a small chunk of vast history of the Transformers franchise about the Autobot Bumblebee.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost">Bumblebee is the "little brother" of the heroic Autobot faction, constantly striving to prove himself in the eyes of the taller, stronger <a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BBandAutobots.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BBandAutobots.jpg" border="0" /></a>robots that he respects - especially their leader, Optimus Prime. So strong is this admiration toward others, he takes risks that put him in danger. Although a bit of a wise-cracker, he is a capable and reliable messenger and spy, his small size allowing him to go places that his larger comrades cannot. He is highly fuel efficient, has great visual acuity, is particularly adaptable to undersea environments and transforms into a Volkswagen Beetle. <br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BBWitwickyandAutobots.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BBWitwickyandAutobots.jpg" border="0" /></a>Bumblebee's primary function in the original Transformers animated series and comics was to serve as the "young" character with whom the youthful viewing audience could identify, and he would befriend the Autobots' primary human ally - the young son of the Witwicky family - to this end, a concept that persists into the 2007 live-action film.<br /> <br />Bumblebee is quite unusual in that, unlike many other Transformers, his name has not been re-used and applied to unrelated characters throughout the ensuing twenty years <a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/Goldbug.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/Goldbug.jpg" border="0" /></a>of Transformers media, due to the loss of the trademark. Bumblebee was later reconstructed in a stronger, more mature form in the animated series to reflect Hasbro Inc.’s loss of the “Bumblebee” trademark in its toys. According to the second arc of Season 3’s “The Return of Optimus Prime” the little Autobot had been so severely damaged that he required an entire reconstruction. In his new, shiny body, he commented that he had gone beyond just being Bumblebee, and was now a "gold bug", prompting Optimus Prime to redub him "Goldbug". Toywise, rather than transforming into an ordinary Volkswagen Beetle, he was made into a golden 1975 Super Beetle to clearly show the Goldbug moniker. <br /><br />As years passed by and as other Transformers series sprouted out, Bumblebee’s void <a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BBCloseup.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BBCloseup.jpg" border="0" /></a>as the Autobots little brother was filled by other supporting characters. His role as the "young yellow character" had inspired other Transformers characters with the same role such as Cheetor (Transformers Beast Wars) and Hot Shot (Transformers: Robots in Disguise). But still Bumblebee is Bumblebee. Fans waited anxiously for his return and the reestablishment of his trademark. <br /><br />In 2005, after years of not possessing the "Bumblebee" name trademark, Hasbro <a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BumblebeeTitanium.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BumblebeeTitanium.jpg" border="0" /></a>finally regained it for their “toy action figures, toy vehicles and toy robots convertible into other visual toy forms” products. This was just in time for their release of a 3 inch tall die-cast non-transforming Bumblebee figure as part of the Transformers: Titanium line in 2006. Fans rejoiced. Bumblebee was back in the game. Taking a step further, Hasbro started approaching Volkswagen to grant them license to use the New Volkswagen Beetle for their new 1:24 scale toy line, Transformers: Alternators (Binaltech in Japan). As one of the earliest concepts designed by Hasbro, Bumblebee was reimagined as a new Volkswagen Beetle.<br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BumblebeeBinaltechPrototype.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BumblebeeBinaltechPrototype.jpg" border="0" /></a>For those of you who don’t know, Transformers: Alternators is a toyline of the Transformers series produced by Hasbro in North America & Europe and Takara in Japan, the primary selling point of which is the use of 1:24 scale, accurate real-world vehicle modes officially licensed from car manufacturers. Typically for each vehicle there are two toys to go with it to match the base model and the sport model. Years ago, Hasbro approached Porsche for licensing. The very first car mold developed for the Alternators-Binaltech line was the Porsche 986 Boxster, originally conceived as Autobot Jazz. Porsche rejected any involvement with "war machines", making it impossible to attain the license for the figure's release. <br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BumblebeeBinaltechPrototype2.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BumblebeeBinaltechPrototype2.jpg" border="0" /></a>Just like Porsche, Volkswagen declined giving the New Volkswagen Beetle license to Hasbro, presumably due to their World War II history, claiming that, as with Porsche, Volkswagen refused to license the car on the grounds that they did not want to associate their vehicles with war-themed media due to the warlike nature of the Transformers. Volkswagen’s licensing further became bleak when Hasbro insisted that Bumblebee carry a gun since all Alternators sport some manner of weaponry. The toy never progressed beyond the line-art phase and the concept drawings could still be found scattered on the web. The design made a cameo as a possible "future" Bumblebee in the BotCon 2005 comic, "Descent into Evil”. <br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BBDescentIntoEvil.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BBDescentIntoEvil.jpg" border="0" /></a>Even if Hasbro could not procure Volkswagen’s licensing, Bumblebee still appeared in the Transformers: Classics, a line of Transformers toys that are based on and resemble the first generation characters and figures introduced in the 1980s. Released towards the end of 2006, Bumblebee has finally returned as a transforming figure. Unable to be an actual Volkswagen due to the company's position, as noted above, Bumblebee is nevertheless a small, stocky car which does not appear to be based on any single production model but rather an amalgamation of features from several different ones. The designers wanted to give Bumblebee a form that evoked the rounded, VW form. The result was a vehicle that is part Subaru, part Peugeot, part Honda hatchback with a few subtle Volkswagen elements mixed in.<br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BumblebeeClassics.gif"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BumblebeeClassics.gif" border="0" /></a>Now we know why Bumblebee could not be a Beetle until Volkswagen gives Hasbro the necessary permissions to use the likeness of their car. But why is Bumblebee a Camaro in the movie? <br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/bumblebee_height.gif"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/bumblebee_height.gif" border="0" /></a>Designs of the robots began in June 2005, and Hasbro heavily collaborated on the live action interpretations of their characters. In keeping with Michael Bay's desire to make Transformers realistic, the robots were designed more intricately to look more three-dimensional and to reflect their alien origins. Morphing in transformations was restricted, unlike the cartoon or comic books, where a character such as Megatron transforms into a Walther P38 pistol. Every character stayed the same size in both forms, which in turn explained the robots' choice of Earth forms during the story. Optimus Prime's original cab over truck form was rejected because it would make him only 23 feet tall, so Bay decided to use the Peterbilt, the largest truck available. Therefore, sticking to the idea that the mass of the Transformers in robot form should be believable compared to their vehicle form, if ever Bumblebee would be a Volkswagen Beetle it would have resulted in him being much smaller in robot form. With his Camaro body, Bumblebee could achieve a height of 16 to 18 meters. Originally a worn-out 1969 Camaro, producers settled on a 1977 model. It is painted yellow with black stripes, primer and rust patches, riveted hood scoop, Cragar SS wheels up front, Eric Vaughn Real Wheels in the back, marine-grade vinyl seats, and even an eight-track player. Later in the movie, when Mikaela criticizes the poor condition of Bumblebee's vehicle mode, he scans a passing 2009 preproduction model of the Camaro donning is as his new alternate mode. This 2008/09 model was built using a 2006 Pontiac GTO by Saleen, the body was built from the same GM R&D molds that were used in the prototype 08/09 Camaros. <br /> <br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/bumblebeeconcept.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/bumblebeeconcept.jpg" border="0" /></a>But why not use a BMW Mini Cooper? Fans had been eyeing the most popular British-made car ever made as a possible alternate mode for Bumblebee if ever Hasbro couldn’t get the Volkswagen license in time for the movie. Well, just like Porsche and Volkswagen, during the planning stages of the Alternators/ Binaltech toyline, Hasbro and Takara tried to get a license for a MINI Cooper from BMW, the owners of the MINI brand. BMW said that as long as the figure did not have a gun, they would approve it. Hasbro and Takara had already started creating a prototype before getting permission, prompting BMW to revoke the license. And since a Mini Cooper is smaller than a Camaro (and a Beetle) I don’t think Bay would be willing to make a very small robot.<br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/bumblebeeconceptweapons.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/bumblebeeconceptweapons.jpg" border="0" /></a>Don Murphy, one of the producers of the live action movie, wanted to retain Bumblebee's Volkswagen Beetle form, but Bay rejected it to avoid comparisons with “Herbie the Love Bug”. Bay chose the Chevrolet Camaro instead, which he described as having a friendly quality. As a tribute to Bumblebee’s past form, in the scene where Sam’s father bring him to a used car shop for him to purchase his first car, we can clearly see an old yellow 1971 Volkswagen Beetle next to Bumblebee’s new Camaro form. Sam has to choose between that old Beetle and the Camaro, but of course chooses the Camaro. Bumblebee damages the Beetle in order to ensure that Sam purchases him. In scenes showing Sam driving the Camaro a bee-shaped air freshener attached to his rear view mirror with the words "Bee-otch" could be seen to which is clearly a homage to Bumblebee.<br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BBCameo.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BBCameo.jpg" border="0" /></a>As an added bonus to the movie’s budget, making Bumblebee a Camaro led a full product placement deal with General Motors, to supply the alternate modes for Jazz, Ironhide and Ratchet. The deal saved $3 million, though Bay hoped they would have supplied a bigger car for Jazz than the Pontiac Solstice.<br /><br />The future looks bleak for the Volkswagen Beetle Bumblebee. Even with the success of the live action movie and a chance to earn big bucks at the side, Volkswagen still wouldn’t budge. But Hasbro doesn’t care anymore. As of writing, Hasbro announced at BotCon 2007 that the Transformers: Alternators line will be discontinued. Here’s hoping Takara, Hasbro's Japanese counterpart, would try to win over Volkswagens approval when they continue their Binaltech line. In the upcoming months, Cartoon Network (in the states) would start to air the newest cartoon series based on the Transformers franchise. Titled Transformers: Animated, this show would feature new “cartoony” designs and alternate modes for both the Autobots and Decepticons. Bumblebee here would transform into something close to his Transformers: Classics toy incarnation – a far cry from the Volkswagen Beetle that fans hope to see again. <br /><br />Camaro, Mini, Hatchback… for me Bumblebee would always be a Volkswagen Beetle. Sure, we wouldn’t be able to see it again but everytime a yellow colored Volkswagen Beetle pass by me I would always say “Uy! Si Bumblebee yun ah!”. As for his Camaro alternate mode a lot of diehard fans showed their grievances by sending Michael Bay death threats after learning about the changes of the Transformers saying that he single handedly destroyed their “precious childhood memories”. <br /><br />Me? <br /><br />I think it’s ok as long as Megan Fox is riding one.<br /><br />(Author's Note: As you can see most of what is posted above is copied from various toy sites and, of course, Wikipedia!

Pero kung titignan nyo ng mabuti ang picture parang merong maskarang naiiba:<br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BinLaden.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/BinLaden.jpg" border="0" /></a>Ano ito! Kabilang na si Bin Laden sa mga aswang at lamang lupang naghahasik ng lagim tuwing sasapit ang dilim. Yan ang dala ng modernisasyon.<br /><br />Para mas epektib ang maskarang ito sabayan mo ng pagdala ng AK-47. Pero kung gusto mong taguan ka ng mga tao isuot mo ang maskarang ito at magdala ng scooter. Tiyak na magkukubli sila sa iyo. Hindi dahil sa takot kundi magmimistulang lahat sila may utang sa iyo!</div></span>Jokerjesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01640170110636880906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350283713745949106.post-31176720957988226042007-10-22T16:00:00.001+08:002007-10-23T03:23:41.942+08:00Nanaca Crash<div align="justify">Zubaaaaaaan!<br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/NanacaCrashScreen1.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/NanacaCrashScreen1.jpg" border="0" /></a>Nanaca Crash!! (actually spelled NANACA†CRASH!!) is an online spin-off game featuring characters from Cross Channel, an eroge (a Japanese video or computer game that features erotic content, usually in the form of anime-style artwork) for the Windows and PlayStation 2 platforms. You can view the Wikipedia article for Cross Channel <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_Channel">here</a>. <br /><br /><span class="fullpost"><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/NanacaCrashScreen2.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/NanacaCrashScreen2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/NanacaCrashScreen3.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/NanacaCrashScreen3.jpg" border="0" /></a>The object of the game is to click, hold and release the mouse button to determine the angle and velocity of Nanaca crashing her bicycle towards Taichi, sending him flying across the screen. Your score is determined by the distance of his flight. Certain characters he crashes into will greatly affect his velocity. Landing into girls gives you different "Boosts" that can add to your velocity and sometimes trigger "Specials" at certain conditions. While in their "Special" state, the mouse button should be clicked to activate the special boost (and a cool animation). Not doing would cause the cancellation of the special state and just the boost of the character Taichi landed on would be activated. For best results, click the mouse button otherwise within 0.7 seconds to get a super boost. Also, there are two guys you can land on: one could change your angle (Angle Up or Angle Down) while the other guy slows you down.<br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/NanacaCrashScreen6.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/NanacaCrashScreen6.jpg" border="0" /></a>Summoning Nanaca (clicking the mouse button anywhere in the game screen) to produce "Aerials" could be done between a height of 3-10 meters which is basically when Taichi is above the trees but not too high that the red arrow pointing up appears. Red aerials are possible when Taichi's falling. Clicking the mouse button gives him an upward boost. You can use this up to three times. Useful if you want to avoid running into a certain person like Misato Miyasumi (girl with glasses, the game would be over when Taichi lands on and hugs her). Blue aerials, on the other hand, are possible on the way up. Clicking the mouse button gives you a boost downward. Unlike the Red aerials, the Blue ones are “rechargeable” and you have to wait until it recharges back to 100% for each use. Useful if you want to hit someone that can boost you further.<br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/NanacaCrashScreen5.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/NanacaCrashScreen5.jpg" border="0" /></a>So, if hitting other people with your bicycle is your thing, go on and check out Nanaca Crash <a href="http://storage.act-9.com/2005/0222/nanaca.htm">here</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/NanacaCrashScreen4.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/NanacaCrashScreen4.jpg" border="0" /></a></span></div>Jokerjesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01640170110636880906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350283713745949106.post-28996212593343300522007-10-22T15:27:00.000+08:002007-10-22T16:29:38.464+08:00Desktop Tower Defense<div align="justify">Look away if you value for lives and your jobs...<br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/DesktopTowerDefense1.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/DesktopTowerDefense1.jpg" border="0" /></a>Whatever you do, don't click on the link and start playing the game. This game is responsible for us losing a week's worth load of work due to its very simple and addictive gameplay. Again, be warned. We were practically going to work just to play this game. We were spending more time discussing about the different strategies and map layouts rather than focusing on our work deliveries and deadlines. I think we had gone overboard when each of us received emailed memos warning us about “playing too much”. Whew! We almost lost our jobs due to this wonderful Flash game.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost">Desktop Tower Defense illustrates that you don’t need fancy graphics or big budgets to build highly addictive online games. In Desktop Tower Defense, all of the main graphics are hand drawn. Unlike some other Flash based games in the web this game is free and is very simple to pick up. Also, this game employs a lot of strategizing and resource management. Numerous modes, difficulty levels, and maps are just some of the game’s features which give a big boost to its replayablity factor.<br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/DesktopTowerDefense2.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/DesktopTowerDefense2.jpg" border="0" /></a>The rules of the game are simple. You start with an empty map as “creeps” enters from the left and/or the top. These creeps find their way to the different exits that are opposite to where they had entered. Initially, you start with a set number of lives (about 20) and these get diminished when a creep would exit the map. Each wave of creeps have their own special abilities and it is the player’s goal to build different towers with also their own abilities to shoot, damage, and sometimes hinder the creeps on their way out. Also, the layout of the towers should not block the path of the creeps to their respective exits. Towers could be bought, sold and upgraded for an amount of money which could be earned for every creep killed. It is the objective of the player to handle all the creep waves as they get harder and tougher without exhausting all the life points. Good “mapping”, “path building”, and strategic placements of the towers is important to maximize every tower’s use.<br /><br />The creator of this ludicrously addictive Desktop Tower Defense game is apparently making close to $10,000 a month from Google ads. The game’s creator, Paul Preece, a Visual Basic programmer having no professional experience with game development, is now making, by his estimate, high four figures monthly for his ferociously viral little game. In the span of a few months, the game has become extremely popular, having been played over 15 million times as of July 2007. The game was among one of Webware 100's top ten entertainment web applications of 2007.<br /><br />Desktop Tower Defense is already on its 1.5 release which features new towers, modes and creep types.

Other cast members include Gwyneth Paltrow as Virginia “Pepper” Potts, Stark’s personal secretary; Jeff Bridges as Obadiah Stane/ Iron Monger, Stark’s mentor and business rival; Terrence Howard as James Rhodes, <a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/IronManCast.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/IronManCast.jpg" border="0" /></a>Stark’s bestfriend who would unlikely be War Machine in (keeping our fingers crossed) the following Iron Man movie sequels; and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. Fans of the The Ultimates comic books know that Nick Fury’s appearance in the series is based upon the features of Samuel L.

Downey Jr. described his challenge as <em>"making a wealthy, establishmentarian, weapons manufacturing, hard drinking, womanizing prick into someone who is likable and a hero"</em>. His co-star Paltrow, on the other hand, went straight to the source material, reading many comic books lent by her husband, Chris Martin, for the preparation for her role.<br /><br />As with every Marvel movie made, it is reported that Iron Man’s co-creator, Stan Lee, would make another cameo appearance in the movie <em>“where he appears with three blonde women and is mistaken for Hugh Hefner by Tony Stark”</em>.<br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/IronManOldArmor.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/IronManOldArmor.jpg" border="0" /></a>Favreau announced the Mandarin as the film's villain at Comic-Con International, When asked about the Mandarin, Favreau compared the Mandarin to Sauron in The Lord of the Rings, in that his role is a presence rather than a physical antagonist. He also said that the first film's plot would not deal with Tony Stark's personal problems, such as alcoholism. Favreau noted that if there were sequels, Tony Stark's personal problems would be explored. Favreau plans Iron Man to be the first in a trilogy, with all the actors signed on. Favreau has also stated he would like to develop the Mandarin into a physical threat, or use Fin Fang Foom if he could fit the tone of the films.<br /><br />About the armor, Favreau confirmed "The suit will be more like a weapons platform than a flying suit – more of a War Machine-feel to it. Favreau stated he wanted the film to feel believable, and key to this was seeing the full construction of the suit in its three stages. </span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span class="fullpost"><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/IronManFlight.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/IronManFlight.jpg" border="0" /></a></span></div><div align="justify"><span class="fullpost"></span></div><div align="justify"><span class="fullpost">The Iron Man suit showcased in the film was inspired by Iron Man comic book artist Adi Granov <em>(Tales of Suspense Commemorative Edition: Captain America and Iron Man, Iron Man vol. 4).</em> He created the suit design with Phil Saunders, which was built by Stan Winston Studios.

Grabe na pala kasikatan ni Inday.<br /><br />Multiple blogs had already started posting their own share of accumulated Inday jokes. Surprisingly, Conrado de Quiros, a columnist of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, wrote an article about the popularity of Inday. <span class="fullpost">It is amazing to see a man of his caliber write a topic about something as simple as a chain of text jokes promulgated by people who just don’t want to waste their precious unlimited text plan. Truly the Inday jokes are not just a passing fad but a phenomenon. You can view the article of Conrado de Quiros entitled “O Inday” in his column “There's The Rub” <a href="http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/columns/view_article.php?article_id=94891">here</a>.<br /><br />It seems that Inday started a blog of her own. <a href="http://blogniinday.wordpress.com/">Blog Ni Inday</a> offers new Inday jokes updated daily. Jokes had been arranged by categories (See the Assemblage section) for the reader’s convenience. You can also check Inday’s Biodata and comments from her “Amo”. According to him “the site’s sole purpose is to gather and share the numerous Inday jokes and manuscripts scattered all over the SMS and Internet world.”<br /><br />Shockingly, as of this writing, this blog was thrusted in the Top 10 English Blogs at Wordpress in just a few weeks time. Here’s hoping to someday see a movie or TV show about everybody’s favorite househelp…<br /><br />… and perhaps a Tagalog-English Dictionary named after her.</span></div>Jokerjesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01640170110636880906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350283713745949106.post-6811972542613217592007-10-05T18:14:00.000+08:002007-10-18T13:10:22.206+08:00The Inday Phenomenon<div align="justify">Inday…<br /><br />Basta narinig mo ang salitang “Inday” kaagad-agad kang makakaisip ng isang katulong walang kaalam-alam sa buhay, walang pinag-aralan, at pinanganak lamang para utus-utusan at paglingkuran ang kaniyang mga amo. Makakaisip tayo ng isang alilang walang tigil na pinagtatrabaho habang ang kaniyang mga pinagsisilbihan ay puro lamang pasarap sa buhay ang inaatupag. At minsa’y hindi maaalis sa isipan natin ang imaheng inaabuso siya habang walang kalaban-labang sumisigaw ng “Koya! Wag po! Wag po!...<br /><br />Bobo. Patapon. Gamitan.<br /><br />Ganyan kababa ang tingin natin kay Inday…<br /><br />Dati.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost">Ngayon, pag sinabi mong “Inday” makakaisip ka ng isang babaeng sopistikada, sosyal, matalino at palaban. Basta meron kang maririnig na nag ingles sasabihan nating “Uy! Parang si Inday lang ah!”. “Paturo na lang tayo kay Inday” ang maririnig mo naman pag nahihirapan ang isang taong magpahayag ng kaniyang saloobin.<br /><br />Ngayon ok nang maging isang “Inday. Pero sino ang nagpasimuno sa pagbabago ng stereotypical na pananaw sa ating mga kasambahay?<br /><br />Pasalamat tayo sa mga adik magtext.<br /><br />Siguro naman kahit papaano nakatanggap na kayo ng mga text jokes tungkol sa iba’t-ibang pakikipagsapalaran ni Inday gamit ang kaniyang secret weapon… ang kaniyang angking katalinuhan sa paggamit ng Ingles. Siguro naman sumakit din tyan niyo sa kakatawa at naubusan din kayo ng dugo sa kano-nosebleed habang binabasa ang mga malulupit na banat ni Inday sa kaniyang mga kasambahay, pamilya, boyfriend, at kung sinu-sino pang naeenkwentro niya.<br /><br />Hindi ko alam kung saan, papaano, at sino ang nagsimula ng text series na nito. Alam kong natanggap ko ang pinakaunang Inday joke after the Chorvalyn/Ederlyn Series at ang Famous Quotes Series. Ang mga seryeng ito ay nagpapatunay sa angking kakayahan ng mga Plipino na gumawa at maki-ride on sa iba’t-ibang uri ng pagpapatawa kahit maraming hinaharap na problema. Basta kung sino ka mang nagsimula nito… Kudos!<br /><br />Below is a compilation of all the Inday Jokes that I received and read from Text Messages, E-Mails, and other Blogsites.

Kaya mo ba ang lahat ng ito?<br /><br />INDAY: I believe that my trained skills and expertise in management with the use of standard tools, my discipline and experience will contribute significantly to the value of the work that you want, my creativity, productivity and work-efficiency and the high quality of outcomes I can offer will boost the work progress.<br /><br />AMO: (nosebleed)<br /><br />----------<br /><br />AMO: Inday, ano ginawa mo sa microwave natin at sumabog?<br /><br />INDAY: Success is often the result of taking misstep in the right direction.

We are not here to thrive on humor but rather, we should engage in objective and top of the line service to our designated employers."<br /><br />- Inday tumangging makipagtsismisan sa katulong sa kabilang bahay. Professionalism at its best!<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"Nurture others with positive, truthful words, not words that hurt. It doesn't cost anything to do so. But mean what you say, and say what you mean. Do it everyday. This is one of the most obvious qualities of the most beloved people. If you cannot be generous financially, at least be generous with your words."<br /><br />- Yan ang sabi ni Inday ng di siya pinautang at pinagmumura pa ng amo niya.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"Listening to the nonsense talk about someone’s life is a pathetic way of entertainment.

Would you please purchase many fishes for our this week's meals?<br /><br />INDAY: Judging from your statement I believe you meant a variety of fish. The term "fishes", although rarely and even erroneously used, connotes a plethora or an array of different kinds of the aforementioned gilled creatures. But the more pressing questions before I traversed the road to the wet market would be: What certain type of fish? Fillet or not? Frozen or just right smack the day's catch? (Pauses) Aaah. by manner of careful extrapolation, given the meager budget in this household’s quasi-peasant middle class taste, I assume then I will source the staple "galewng-gowng". Am I correct?<br /><br />AMO: Leche!<br /><br />INDAY: You meant the freshwater milkfish? Then the "ba-ngooz" is it!<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"La vida no es una broma actualmente. El dinero es tan duro de pasar. Puede usted bajar el precio parci mi?

Bakit may bukol si Junior?!<br /><br />INDAY: Compromising safety with useless aesthetics, the not-so-well engineered architectural design of our kitchen lavatory affected the boy's cranium with a slight boil at the left temple near the auditory organ.<br /><br />AMO: (Di nakareact)<br /><br />----------<br /><br />AMO: Bakit tuwing pag-uwi ko, nadadatnan kitang nanunuod ng TV??!!!<br /><br />INDAY: Because I don't want you to see me doing absolutely nothing!<br /><br />----------<br /><br />AMO: Inday di ba nanood ka ng The Buzz kahapon? Bakit daw umalis si Angel Locsin sa GMA7?<br /><br />INDAY: Sometimes people choose to leave not because of selfish reasons but because they just know that things will get worse if they'll stay. Leaving can be a tough act and it's harder when people can't understand you for doing so.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />AMO: Inday, bakit mo binenta yung sirang silya?<br /><br />INDAY: I have computed the chair's fair value less cost to sell, and the value in use using projections for 5 years and a pre-tax discount rate. Accordingly, the value in use is lower, so I decided to sell the chair. This in accordance with PAS18 on Revenue, PAS16 on Property, Plant, and Equipment, and PAS36 on Impairment of Assets!<br /><br />AMO: ADIK ka talaga Inday!<br /><br />----------<br /><br />“You’ll never know what u have till it’s gone… And once you loose it, you can never get it back….”<br /><br />- Si Inday nung nasnatchan sa Quiapo.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />“Did it ever occur to you that the ultraviolet rays of the idiot box can bring harmful radiation to the retinal area? It could lead to blurred vision, worse, permanent blindness?”<br /><br />- Pinagalitan ni Inday si junior sa sobrang lapit manood ng "Kokey".<br /><br />----------<br /><br />“Dear Sir/Madam,<br /><br />Attached herewith is a list of proposed acquisition in line with my proposal to upgrade your household facilities. I have already made initial survey of current market prices.<br /><br />Note: However that prices could vary depending on the prevailing exchange rate and aggregate supply and demand which we also monitor on an hourly basis.”<br /><br />- Si Inday, nagpapaalam mamalengke.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"Don't limit my capacity in the four corners of this luxurious abode... Expose me to the real challenges of the outside world. I want to grow as an individual with dynamic experiences."<br /><br />- Si Inday, nagrereklamo kasi ayaw siyang isama sa Enchanted Kingdom.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"Drunken shrimp and blue lobster meat with caviar serve with milagrosa rice (red variety) and apricot sauce, Vegetables in balsamic vinegar splashed with extra virgin olive oil, Lychee and peach salad with sour cream cheese topped with lemon zests"<br /><br />- Baon ni Junior sa daycare na inihanda ni Inday.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"Bloody hell!!! What the f*ck did just landed on my cutie top? I mean I've spent all day just to make myself look fabulous. I think I'll have this eewy thing removed in a whip wham of time!"<br /><br />- Reaction ni Inday nung natalsikan sya ng mantika habang nagluluto ng tilapia.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"Ipomea aquatica has become the constant ingredient to this Filipino delicacy which is very helpful in the digestion during the peristaltic process of the food we intake. Due to the continuous rains and floods, the harvest of the said vegetable has lessened the production in the market."<br /><br />- Banat ni Inday kung bakit walang "kangkong" sa nilutong sinigang.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"Heavy fire that exerted by the stimulus affect the best conductor of heat which is the steel, causing the "oriza sativa" which is the scientific name of rice to change its state of color, smell as well as the taste."<br /><br />- Sagot ni Inday nang tanungin siya ng amo kung bakit nasunog ang sinaing.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"Off you go! Under no circumstance this house would relent to such unabashed display of vagrant destitution!"<br /><br />- Si Inday, pinapaalis ang makulit na pulubi sa gate. (Taray talaga ni Inday!).<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"Much as I want to indulge in the proliferation of such indecent and malicious information, I want to lift the stigma and alleviate society's perception of our profession..."<br /><br />- Si Inday, tumangging makipag-tsismisan sa katulong sa kabilang bahay.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"The consistency was fine. But you see, it seems that the increased amount of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) affected the taste drastically and those actions are irreversible. I do apologize."<br /><br />- Nag-explain si Inday kung bakit maalat ang ulam.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"It's absurd! It was never a fact that he will inflict a fight. I can only imagine how you handle schizophrenic kids on this educational institution. Revise your policies because they suck!"<br /><br />- Inday, kasama si Junior sa principal's office.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"Stop your raucous behavior. It is bound to result in property damages and if that happens there will be corresponding punishment to be inflicted upon you!"<br /><br />- Si Inday, pinagbabawalan ang mga bata na maglikot.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />JEEPNEY DRIVER: Hoy! bakit says lang ang Banayat mo?! Siyete na ang pamasahe ngayon!<br /><br />INDAY: I am currently enrolled in a two-year vocational course in an academic institution. Therefore, I am a student and by this fact, I am entitled to have the inalienable right to avail of a certain discount on my jeepney fare. This is why I provided a payment less than what you expected because that is according to the law, as stated in the fare matrix.<br /><br />DRIVER: (nosebleed)<br /><br />----------<br /><br />AMO: Inday, bakit nagkalat ang basura sa likod ng bahay?!<br /><br />INDAY: A change in the weather patterns might have occurred wrecking havoc to the surroundings. The way the debris are scattered indicates that the gust of wind was going northeast causing damage to the path it was heading for.<br /><br />AMO: (nosebleed)<br /><br />----------<br /><br />AMO: Inday, nganu gipasagdan man nimo si Junior nga pirti man ning tsabaw?<br /><br />INDAY: Sir, according to Erik Erikson’s psychosocial theory of growth and development, toddlers normally exhibit temper tantrums to express emotions such as anxiety. And the best intervention is to ignore the situation. However, one should provide safety to avoid danger during their tantrums.<br /><br />AMO: Pag churoi!<br /><br />----------<br /><br />AMO: Inday, bakit kulang ang sukli na ibinigay mo?<br /><br />INDAY: Hmmm… The person from the selling entity might have experienced memory deficiency due to the difficulty in concentrating and that lack of concentration lead to forgetfulness in giving the excess monetary equivalent due from the purchased item.<br /><br />AMO: I think I’m gonna faint! (nagulat sa sariling pagiingles… tuluyang nahimatay)<br /><br />----------<br /><br />AMO: Inday ano ulam natin? Darating na sir mo.<br /><br />INDAY: Due to the infrequent mass media coverage around hog cholera, I’d consequently given a judgment on sautéing exquisite scallops in unsalted butter together w/ pungent white onion & tossed it w/ brisk asparagus. I’d also assented to twist it w/ fresh lemon zest & advance its taste via blending a petty amount of chardonnay white wine as well as a cup of viscous cream.<br /><br />AMO: (napatumbling)<br /><br />----------<br /><br />P 500 : Sun Plan Subscription<br />P 1800 : Glutathione 30 capsules<br />P 600 : Olay Total Effects<br />P 1500 : Crocs flip flops<br />P 2000 : For mama<br /><br />- Binudget ni Inday ang sweldo niya.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"The economy itself is not holding it's ground, this caused a ripple-effect which increased the value of most market products, thus, given the amount of monetary value you have provided me with versus the amount of increase on the goods on this list you have given me - this equates to the reduction of the volume of household items I was able to acquire."<br /><br />- Dahilan ni Inday kung bakit hindi siya nakabili ng asukal.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />“It is in mistakes that we learn how to grow to be better individuals. You may judge me for what you see but it is not my mistakes that determine who I am but it is what I do to make it right.”<br /><br />- Sabi ni Inday nung nakabasag sya ng pinggan.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />AMO: Inday, bakit ang flawless mo? Ano ba ginagamit mo? Papaya? Kalamansi..?<br /><br />INDAY: Huh? Only Belo touches my skin. Who touches yours?<br /><br />AMO: (hinimatay)<br /><br />----------<br /><br />AMO: (Overnight, inaral ng amo ni Inday ang dictionary para may pangtapat na siya kay Inday) So Inday, tell me, how do you accept the fact that you are just a mere chambermaid in this extravagant mansion??<br /><br />INDAY: Una camarera? Eres tan pathetic. La unica razon que inscribi tu casa es porque nada esta sucediendo dentro de tu casa cuasi-agradable. Quisiera traer una poca clase en este hogar pero conjeturo que no puedo porque esta casa es fea.<br /><br />AMO: What??!! (dumudugo na ilong)<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"Potatoes, when consumed in their raw state are rapidly converted to glucose that raises insulin levels because of its simple sugar. When cooked in high temperatures like French fries, they produce large amount of free radicals in the body causing aging, clotting, inflammation, cancer, weight gain. One French fry is worse that one cigarette.”<br /><br />- Sagot ni Inday sa amo nya kung bakit di sya nagluluto ng French Fries.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />AMO: Inday, paki-abot nga ‘yung ketchup…<br /><br />INDAY: While it can hardly be considered a health food, ketchup has been found to be a beneficial source of lycopene, an antioxidant which fights some forms of cancer. This is particularly true of the organic brands of ketchup. In fact, organic brands were found to contain three times as much lycopene as non-organic brands. Ketchup, much like marinara sauce and other cooked tomato foods, yields higher levels of lycopene per serving because cooking makes lycopene in tomatoes more bio-available.<br /><br />AMO: Gaga!<br /><br />----------<br /><br />Sa Isang Restaurant:<br /><br />WAITER: Ano po order nila ma'am?<br /><br />AMO: Yung fried chicken meal na lang. Ikaw Inday, ano sa iyo?<br /><br />INDAY: I would like to partake of a dish of sautéed pork and chicken, boiled in thick essence of soy and cane extracts, with copious amount of garlic, onion and laurel, sprinkled generously with fine spices and served with generous helping of root crop and a helping of rice.<br /><br />AMO: Iho, paorder daw ng Adobo with Rice.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />“How dare you to insinuate such intolerable act of abusing our nature from a mere scrap of humanity such as you. If you further insist, I’ll be forced to use my mental and physical capabilities just to pulverize you!”<br /><br />- Litanya ni Inday nung may nagtapon ng balat ng kendi sa tapat ng bahay ng amo nya.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />1. rendezvous<br />2. tête-à-tête<br />3. renaissance<br />4. buoyancy<br />5. queue<br />6. squeamish<br />7. impenetrable<br />8. dachshund<br />9. brochure<br />10. brassiere<br /><br />- Inday habang tinuturuan ang 8-yr old na alaga matuto sa spelling.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />“The oil normalizing series specifically designed for my oily skin not only works physically on the skin surface, but penetrates deep into the skin layers to normalize oil secretion for a healthy and long lasting oil free skin.”<br /><br />- Paliwanag ni Inday habang nagpapahid ng Chin-chan-su.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />“Guess what? Those not-so stunning guys keeps on staring at my newly manicured nails while the copy-cat freaks envy my stylishly cut mane. Unfortunately after a great day at the spa, I have to step on this muddy and stinking place just to purchase some veggies!”<br /><br />- Si Inday, nakikipagtsikahan sa tindera sa palengke.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />AMO: Inday, hindi mo ba natanggap text ko? Tinext kita sabi ko bumili ka na rin ng giniling. Selpon selpon ka pa di naman nakakareceive ng text.<br /><br />INDAY: It’s not that I can’t receive any messages, it’s just that I was at a place with a weak cellular signal. You see, even though longer wavelengths have the advantage of being able to diffract to a greater degree and are less reliant on line of sight to obtain a good signal, it can still attenuate significantly. And because the frequencies which cell phones use are too high to reflect off the ionosphere as shortwave radio waves do, cell phone waves cannot travel via the ionosphere.<br /><br />AMO: Pa-ayono-ayonospir ka pang nalalaman. Magsaing ka na nga bago dumugo na naman ilong ko.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />AMO: Inday, ba’t sinisipon si Junior?<br /><br />INDAY: He came in direct contact from surfaces contaminated with rhinoviruses which entered the cells of the lining of his nasopharynx which in turn rapidly multiplied. Thus, giving him a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory system called acute viral nasopharyngitis.<br /><br />AMO: (nosebleed sabay nataranta) What??! Tumawag ka ng ambulansya! bilis!<br /><br />INDAY: Haaay, you’re so ignorant. As if you have not been afflicted with the common cold in the course of your existence.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"Physical stress and excessive work may result to serious damage to one's body. It is therefore essential that once in a while we take a break from our usual routine to replenish the lost energy we once had."<br /><br />- Sabi ni Inday sa amo nung humingi siya ng dayoff.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"Slap the face of that crazy B*tch! You must show to her that regardless of the class we belong in the society, respect should not be put at risk! Angelika is nothing but an opportunist, heartless devil! I damn hate her! Duh!"<br /><br />- Inday, watching "Marimar".<br /><br />----------<br /><br />CONSUL: Why do you want to go to the US?<br /><br />AMO: To travel to visit friends and fly the airplane.<br /><br />CONSUL: Denied! And you?<br /><br />INDAY: For life is a never-ending pursuit of material and social satisfaction that I tender my great intent of actualizing a transpacific journey to the land of milk and honey. An affable sanctuary where dreams become reality and a perfect habitat where souls like mine can reach the pedestal of freedom.<br /><br />CONSUL: Lifetime multiple entry VISA granted!<br /><br />AMO: Whaaat!!!<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"The amount of lust inside a man's head can only be contained with self-control, once that control has been broken, all sanity would have been drained as well...sexual urge i believe is inevitable given the tension arising each and everyday. I can only wonder how things would go the next few days"<br /><br />- Eto yung nasa isip ni Inday pagkatapos siya gapangin ni "Kuya"<br /><br />----------<br /><br />“I understand that sexual urge is most of the time uncontrollable since a lot of factors contribute for it to be triggered. This is also the reason why some men are found to be polygamous and engage themselves in sexual acts even with someone who’s a total stranger to them..”<br /><br />– Ito sinabi ni Inday sa sarili nya pagkatapos sya uli gapangin ni “Kuya”.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"I’m still a human being, attracted to anyone my heart beats on, and I have my limitations in controlling my feelings. I have to push myself into not loving him. This is so wrong…"<br /><br />- Si Inday na-inlove sa amo. Ibang level na talaga…<br /><br />----------<br /><br />“Dear Ma'am/Sir:<br /><br />I hereby tender my irrevocable resignation as your employee effective today. It has been a pleasant stay in your company, but owing to personal reasons I am compelled to move on. I would like to thank you and your good management for the wonderful experience accorded to me during my stay in your company.<br /><br />Yours truly,<br />Inday”<br /><br />- Resignation letter ni Inday.<br /><br />“Dear Inday,<br /><br />I’m sorry to inform you that your resignation was denied by the upper management due to your contract of 5 years or make love with the amo clause. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.<br /><br />Yours truly,<br />Ma’am”<br /><br />- Sagot ni Ma'm.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />AMO: Mula ngayon, wala nang magsasalita ng Ingles. Ang sinumang magpadugo ng ilong ko at sa mga anak ko, palalayasin sa pamamahay na ‘to. Klaro ba?<br /><br />INDAY: Ang mga namutawi sa inyong mga labi ay mataman ko pong iiimbak sa sulok ng aking balintataw, sa kaibuturan ng aking puso, gugunamgunamin, aariing salik ng aba at payak kong kabatiran. Tatalikdan ang matayog at palalong banyagang wika, manapay kakalingain, bibigkasin at sakdal timyas na sasambitin ng aking sangkolooban.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />PERSONAL INFORMATION:<br /><br />NAME: Inocencia Binayubay<br /><br />NICKNAME: Inday<br /><br />AGE: 18<br /><br />PARENTS: Mang Andoy at Aling Seling<br /><br />SIBLINGS: Iying – 13, Itoy – 8, Iking - 5<br /><br />EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT<br /><br />College: La Salle Zobel 2nd year (Scholar)<br /><br />High School: P.

Untruthful, unmindful and unfounded heresy is tantamount to unjust vexation punishable by law.

We look for love because we want to be accepted.. for the sloppy way we dress... for the clumsy way we eat our meals... for bad hair days and for the simplicity in us."<br /><br />- Pinagiisipan ni Inday kung sasagutin nya si Dodong na dead na dead sa beauty niya.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />"I am solitary. I find it hard to succumb into slumber, though the downpour of rain should've made it easy. This exuberant emotional glue I have for you, cannot be simply washed away. The multiplicity of what I feel for you is inevitable. This isn't platonic. It's real, true romance."<br /><br />- Inday, nageemote sa may bintana, habang iniisip si Dodong, ang boyfriend niya.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />“Hell is a place with big houses, luxurious cars, grate tasting dishes and nonstop parties.<br /><br />And Heaven?<br /><br />It’s only a small room with nothing in it… but YOU…. “<br /><br />- Message ni Inday para kay Dodong sa kanilang 1st Monthsary.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />“There are tulips in the street, there are tulips in the park. But nothing compares to our two lips meeting in the dark”<br /><br />- Pamatay lines ni Dodong kay Inday.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />“If the two eventually fell in love, despite the disparity of their ages and academic levels, this only lends substance to the truism that the heart has reasons for its own which reason does not know.”<br /><br />- Iyan naman ang sagot ni Inday sa ina ni Dodong na tutol sa kanilang pagmamahalan.<br /><br />----------<br /><br />INDAY: The statute restricts me to love you but you have the provocations. The way you smile is the proximate cause why I love you. We have some rules to think of. We have no vested rights to love each other because the upper household dismissed my petition!<br /><br />DODONG: Perhaps you are mistaken, what you seem to contrive as any affections for you are somewhat half-hearted. I was merely attempting to expand my network of interests by involving you in my daily recreation. Heretofore, you can expect an end to any verbal articulation from me.<br /><br />BASURERO: (Facing Inday) Be careful in letting go of the things you thought are just nothing because maybe someday you’ll realize that the one you gave away is the very thing you’ve been wishing for to stay.<br /><br />AMO: (Narinig ang lahat ng ito ng amo ni Inday.

Diretsahan tayo. Bakit ba mukhang ang lawak ng iyong pinag-aralan sa iba’t ibang larangan ng sining at teknolohiya? Ano ang nagsilbing inspirasyon sa iyo para gawin ito?<br /><br />INDAY: Boy, don’t you know how to count? Nevermind… to paraphrase Hayek, exclusive concentration on a specialty has a peculiarly baneful effect: it will not merely prevent us from being attractive company or good citizens but may impair our competence in our proper field.<br /><br />BOY: Ahhh… (sabay kamot sa ulo)<br /><br />KRIS: Boy, pinapahiya mo naman ang show eh. Ganito dapat. Inday, what Boy meant was what made you decide to pursue the knowledge of different academic uhh … ahh subjects?<br /><br />INDAY: Kris my dear, it’s either you’re not satisfied with my previous answer or simply did not understand it. I’ll just assume the latter. You see, these are all simply my abiding interests and all these tributaries flow into the same river.

Her witty comments regarding her life as a domestic helper has already brought laughter and uncontrollable nosebleeds to us.<br /><br />Inday, thank you for accepting this interview, how are you feeling right now?<br /><br />INDAY: You might expect me to be flabbergasted or nervous with all the attention I’m getting right now. Actually, I’m not. I know from that very first text message that this is going to be inevitable. Even now the media is already interested in my fame that they sent you to interview me thinking that you can comprehend each and every word that I say.<br /><br />RL: (nagpunas ng ilong) Uhmm, ahh I see… so with all your uhh academic credentials, what made you decide just to be a domestic helper?<br /><br />INDAY: Well, what do you expect me to be? A lawyer? A politician? A newscaster? Oh come on, you’re all so predictable. Have you met a domestic helper that has a medical degree, is a world-class culinary artist, has a degree in Business Management, a certified public accountant and consistent Best in English for four years in high school?<br /><br />RL: Uhhm, ahh I guess not.<br /><br />INDAY: Well there you go.

Anyway, Jayjay and I have been together for six looooong years, yes six years not months. Now how did we last that long?.. I don't know maybe we only have one thing in common... we love food! We basically grew up together, well matured that is. The secret siguro of being together for so long based on experience would be having fun lagi. I owe it din to Jayjay he really knows how to make a dull moment bright and fun. How? <span class="fullpost">Well he loves to tell sensible jokes (uhhhmm sometimes nonsense), he loves trivia, and loves to read. Sometimes he is a walking talking encyclopedia, dictionary<a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Jayjay%20and%20Maia/JayjayBarbarian.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Jayjay%20and%20Maia/JayjayBarbarian.jpg" border="0" /></a> rolled into one. We'll that's what I like about him I guess. He is also a sweet, thoughtful, loving guy to me and to his family (girls really dig that). Ok so he is not that perfect, he could be very annoying sometimes... the mister know it all. Hehe. He hates it when I call him that. It's nice to have a nice guy for a boyfriend but the thing is he makes you look bad. He's too nice of a guy that I should be a very very very nice girl to be his girl (yung tipong people would say "ang swerte naman nang girlfriend sana mabait din siya sa kanya")... uhmm you know what I mean. It's complicated. But it's true I really am <a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Jayjay%20and%20Maia/MarianneAmazon.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Jayjay%20and%20Maia/MarianneAmazon.jpg" border="0" /></a>lucky. And to all those people out there... Yes, I too am a good girl! and I deserve a nice guy... Too bad I saw him first. I mean its hard to find nice guys nowadays u know! (lumalaki na ulo ni Jayjay). Pero you know what the thing about us is that we look up to each other. We just really pull each other up. We really work better when we have each other. We kinda compensate each other's weaknesses like I am not good with computer- technology engineering stuff, but he is. He's really not much of financial matters, taxes etc., but I am. Our life is not perfect, a lot of <span>obstacles too specially now that we're just starting.<br /><br />But it's ok.<br /><br />By now we still have a long way to go.. and alot of preparing to do.. for what's next</span>.</span> </div>Maiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15616462785269724887noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350283713745949106.post-33622278758622389182007-09-17T23:15:00.000+08:002007-10-21T16:21:46.998+08:00Rebirth<div align="justify">Hi.<br /><br />I am finally back...<br /><br />After a tremendous amount of soul searching and self motivation I finally decided to continue this so called blogging lifestyle of mine. After months of laying dormant and letting every good (and siyempre bad) moments pass by me without writing it in my blog I finally decided to give it another try.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost">(tagalog muna tayo... mahirap maghanap ng synonym sa Thesaurus...)<br /><br />Rewind 3 months ago...<br /><br />Active na active ako sa pag-update ng blog ko. Hehehe, kahit nonsense na ang sinusulat ko basta meron lang akong mapost nung araw na yun isusulat ko talaga. Excited din akong i-upload yung mga bago kong artworks na kung susuriin mong mabuti eh wala namang kwenta. Ok buhay ko dati. Nagkaroon ako ng outlet para sa aking mga ideya at opinyon. Isinusulat ko kung ano man ang nasa isip ko, iginuguhit ko ano mang nais ko...<br /><br />Pero ganyan talaga ang buhay… laging may kontrabida.<br /><br />I was silenced.<br /><br />Specifically, I was "Websensed".<br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/blockedpage.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/blockedpage.jpg" border="0" /></a>My antagonist according to Wikipedia:<br /><br />"Websense is a San Diego, California-based company which produces web filtering software, also known as Internet content-control software of the same name. The blockage created by this software has led to the creation of the word "websensed"....<br /><br />... Websense is designed to allow system administrators to block access to web sites (and other protocols) based on categories. These categories contain lists of sites that can be blocked. Separate categories can be blocked at all times or only during certain times of the day. The software also allows organizations to offer a "continue button," which allows users to go to a blocked category if it is work related."<br /><br />Pucha! Ano ito!<br /><br />My freedom of speech had been revoked. My ideas, artworks and comments had been kept away from the world to see. My ideas would just be my ideas, my artworks would just be wasted computer space, and my comments would only be heard when I do my business in the toilet.<br /><br />Again, I was a nobody... (insert Maalaala Mo Kaya theme song here)<br /><br />But who cares right? I'm gone but nobody seems to notice.<br /><br />After starting my blog and having 30+ topics written I only received 3 comments in 3 months amount of time. That is one out of ten topics in a month. Wow! Andame!<br /><br />At hindi lang yan, sa pagkaramiraming blogsites ngayon sa internet, ang chance na mapansin ang site ko against sa mga bilyung bilyong makikita ngayon ay uhmm... teka maglalabas muna ako ng calculator... hmmm... carry one... times the square root of... divided by the sum of the product... equals... hmmm... ang chance na mapapansin ang site ko ay NEVER! Mas malaki pa ang chance kong makakuha ng "Milo" pag pumindot ako ng "Cappuccino" sa coffee dispenser namin sa office. Mas malaki pa ang chance kong manalo sa Wowowee!<br /><br />Pero bakit andito ako ngayon sa isang computer shop at hindi nagdo-DOTA kundi... gasp!... nagbo-blog?<br /><br />Naku! Ewan!<br /><br />Akala ko kasi dati hindi para sa akin ito. Ang blogging ay para lang sa mga taong may Internet sa bahay, sa mga taong magaling magsulat, sa mga taong interesting ang buhay, sa mga taong magaling mag-Ingles (at hindi na gumagamit ng Thesaurus), sa mga taong nakakatawa, sa mga taong creative, at sa mga taong importante...<br /><br />Mali ako.<br /><br />Ito ay para sa mga taong nais magpahiwatig ng kanilang mga saloobin kahit na alam nilang wala rin makikinig sa kanila. Alam kasi nilang balang araw kakainin sila ng buhay ng kanilang ideyang hindi nila pinalaya para mag-ingay.<br /><br />Pasensiya na isa ako sa mga taong ito. Wala akong pake kung sa tingin mo pangit ang mga pinagmamalaki kong artworks. Wala akong pake kung sa tingin mo ay wala namang kwenta lahat ng mga naeeexperience ko araw-araw…<br /><br />Wala akong pake kung na-ooffend ka pag sinabi kong bumabakat utong ko pag nababasa polo ko pag nauulanan.<br /><br />Hehehe haba ng introduction.<br /><br />Sa lahat ng makakabasa nito welcome po sa inyong lahat sa aking bagong blogsite. Welcome po sa Technicolored Pandecoco.<br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>QUESTION AND ANSWER PORTION</strong></div><br /><br />1. Bakit "Technicolored Pandecoco"?<br /><br /><em>Pake mo! Trip ko eh anong magagawa mo! Hehehe, I am reserving "Hardcoded" as a title of my webcomic na i-i-integrate ko sa site na ito. I chose "Technicolored Pandecoco" as the site name because... uhmmm... wala na ako maisip. Sa ngayon mabibisita nyo pa rin ang dati dati kong blogsite <a href="http://jokerjester.blogsavy.com/">dito</a> at sa kasalukuyan ay mina-migrate ko pa lahat ng mga articles ko sa site na yun papunta dito. Buti na lang may nakita akong java program na ginawa ng isang chinese guy (Hi Yichao!) na nakapadali sa pagimport ng aking mga articles from Wordpress to Blogger. You can view his article and download his program <a href="http://zeaster.blogspot.com/2007/02/blogsync-with-gui-coming-import-your.html">here</a>.</em><br /><br />2. Bakit ka lumipat from Blogsavy to Blogger?<br /><br /><em>Ba't ang dami mong tanong? Sino ka ba? Nung naisip kong bumalik mag-blog balak ko from scratch uli kaso nasasayangan ako sa mga past articles ko sa dati kong blogsite. Napagdesisyon kong i-migrate na lang ang mga articles ko mula dun papunta dito. Why Blogger? Kasi mas ok sa akin interface nya at mas nadadalian akong magcustomize at magupload ng mga pics and articles dito. Meron din siyang mga functions na naka-attract sa atensiyon ko. Isa dito ang tinatawag na "AdSense" kung saan nagpopost ang Google ng mga advertisements sa nilaan mong space para sa kanila at nakakagenerate ka ng income anytime meron magki-click sa ads nila. Ang isa pang function na gusto ko ay yung tinatawag na "Mail-to-Blogger Address" kung saan pwede ka magpost ng articles na hindi mo kailangang i-access ang site kundi i-email mo lang ito sa blogger email address na binigay mo at diretsong mapopost ang article mo... Hanep! Hi-tech! Ito ay para sa mga nawe-websense ang blosite tulad ko.<br /><br />Ayaw ko na rin sa "Blogsavy" na domain name ko... hindi kasi interesting tignan... parang pambading hehehe (sorry sa comment).</em><br /><br />3. So what's new?<br /><br /><em>Kung mapapansin nyo dalawa na kaming authors dito sa site. After asking her to share her ideas and views (and after submitting to her headlock), Maia is more than happy to contribute to this site (Hi love! Mwahh!). So hindi lang yung mga articles ko ang mababasa nyo kundi pati na rin ang mga articles nya hehehe. Also, try din namin i-expand ang mga articles na ifi-feature namin sa site. Since this site would not only be about me but now this site would be about us as a couple and we would like to feature articles that we are interested in (like movies, events, and food!) and articles we would like to start (poetry, book reviews, and gasp!... music reviews). After going through my past articles I decided to revise some of them kasi medyo wrong grammar mga iba hehehe. Also, I am also migrating all uploaded pictures from Imagehosting (and AlbumTown) to Photobucket (para mas maayos). Expect also a customized banner and a new template for our site (kasi naka-default setting pa kami at this moment) na isususunod kong gawin once natapos ang lahat ng pagiimport ko.</em><br /><br />Again, welcome sa aming blogsite hope to see your comments around and don't forget to click on the ads.<br /><br />Seatback... Relax... and Enjoy the Show...</span></div>Jokerjesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01640170110636880906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350283713745949106.post-54905148707090799232007-06-15T06:19:00.000+08:002007-10-19T02:50:07.991+08:00I'm Back<div align="justify">Pucha!<br /><br />Sorry sa lahat ng mga sumusubaybay sa mga posts ko (oo kayong tatlo) kasi ngayon lang ako nakapagpost uli dito sa blogsite ko.<br /><br />A month ago blinock ng office ang blogsite ko.

Kaya kaya ni Superman si Incredible Hulk? Mapapatumba ba ni Batman si Spiderman?<br /><br />Medyo nasagot ang tanong ko pagkabasa ko ng Marvel Vs DC na comics last year (scanned tradepaperback through bit torrent downloads hehehe) pero nalaman kong ang mga nananalo sa mga labanan ay base lamang sa mga votes ng mga fans.<br /><br />After searching Google about the strongest superhero this is what I came across. What you are about to read was published in Wizard Magazine #70 in June 1997. Medyo may kalumaan na ang article pero ibang level talaga ang pag-analyze nila sa mga fights at pag rank nila sa mga superheroes.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost"><strong>LAST MAN STANDING: "Wizard" Ranks the 10 Toughest Superheroes In Comics</strong><br /><br />It's the one debate that's been raging for over 50 years: "My favorite superhero can kick your favorite's ass!" And there's never been a clear-cut answer. Until now.<br /><br />What WIZARD has done is gathered up all the superheroes in comic-dom, pitted them against one-another and determined not only who the top 10 most powerful superheroes are, but how they placed on that top 10 list as well.<br /><br />Our criteria for placement was as follows:<br /><br /><em>1. Only superheroes allowed. No supervillians or ridiculously cosmic beings of a higher "universal" order (like Galactus, Highfather, Neron or Mephisto) allowed. </em><br /><br />And ...<br /><br /><em>2. This was treated as a no-holds-barred, do-or-die contest. Each character is giving it his all in the battles we've set before them.</em><br /><br />With that said, meet the #10 man on the list ...<br /><br /><strong>10. HULK</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/Hulk.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/Hulk.jpg" border="0" /></a><<em>HIS DEAL:</em> Caught in the heart of a gamma bomb explosion, genius scientist Dr. Robert Bruce Banner finds himself transformed into a 7-foot, one-ton green behemoth with near-unlimited strength, rapid tissue-regenerative powers and nigh-inexhaustible stamina.<br /><br /><em>WHY HE'S #10:</em> "Hulk Smash! ... and that's about it. Yeah, he may posseses Banner's keen scientific mind and the ruthless cunning of Mr. Fixit, but on this list of supermen, warrior women and Norse gods, the Hulk's muscle just ain't enough to overcome the #10 slot.<br /><br /><strong>9. FIRESTORM</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/Firestorm.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/Firestorm.jpg" border="0" /></a><em>HIS DEAL:</em> Trapped in an experimental nuclear reactor, high school student Ronnie Raymond and Prof. Martin Stein gained the ability to merge into the superhero Firestorm, a being with the ability to alter his own molecular density and the molecular configuration of all inanimate matter.<br /><br /><em>WHY HE'S #9:</em> Ronnie's a young turk who's easily distracted, even with Stein playing the brainy scientist. While the Hulk's limited powers are something Ronnie could handle, any of the more varied attacks from the really diversified guys on this list would clean Ronnie's clock.<br /><br /><em>VS. HULK:</em> One heavy-duty adamantium prison cell whipped up outta nowhere, and the Hulk is outta the fight in five seconds flat.<br /><br /><strong>8. PROFESSOR X (PRE-ONSLAUGHT)</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/ProfessorX.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/ProfessorX.jpg" border="0" /></a><em>HIS DEAL:</em> Born a mutant, Prof. X is the world's most powerful telepath. Despite being wheelchair-bound, he can read minds and wipe minds clean.<br /><br /><em>WHY HE'S #8:</em> While the good professor may possess the most powerful melon on Earth, his frail body would prove too much a liability against the powerhouses on this list.<br /><br /><em>VS. HULK:</em> No contest. Prof. X would sense ol' Green-genes' thoughts from a mile away, and after having zero success trying to reason with him, turn ol' Jade Jaws into a green vegetable.<br /><br /><em>VS. FIRESTORM:</em> Before Firestorm could think of a way to nix him, Prof. X. would "hear" his thoughts and force Stein and Raymond to seperate into their powerless civilian personas.<br /><br /><strong>7. SPAWN</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/Spawn.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/Spawn.jpg" border="0" /></a><em>HIS DEAL:</em> Making a deal with the devil, government assassin Al Simmons was resurrected with a price: finite magical powers capable of nearly any feat imaginable but, when exhausted, will drag him back to Hell to lead its forces against Heaven.<br /><br /><em>WHY HE'S #7:</em> His fear of using his finite powers against the titans on this list would give his oppinents an opportunity to get a second shot in --- which, against this crowd, would be one shot too many.<br /><br /><em>VS. HULK:</em> Spawn has lost body parts in the past without sweating it too much, so while the greenskin goliath may punch an arm or two off, Spawny-guy here can take the punishment and blast the big guy to atoms.<br /><br /><em>VS. FIRESTORM:</em> Though they have simliar powers, Spawn has the edge in that he can also create things outta nothing. Bound by common physics, Firestorm wouldn't have a prayer against a guy who has the powers of hell behind him.<br /><br /><em>VS. PROF. X:</em> When Chuck probes a disturbing alienish mind, he gets all disoriented -- and they don't come more disturbing than resurrected government hitmen/generals-in-training for Satan's war against Heaven. The second Charlie taps into Al's noggin, BAM! the Professor'd be stunned for a few seconds and that's all Al'd need to leave Chuck a stain in a wheelchair.<br /><br /><strong>6. DR. STRANGE</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/DoctorStrange.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/DoctorStrange.jpg" border="0" /></a><em>HIS DEAL:</em> As our dimension's Sorcerer Supreme, Steven Strange stands as the first and last line of defense against all magic-based menaces that threaten our dimension.<br /><br /><em>WHY HE'S #6:</em> While he's beaten cosmic menaces to save the universe countless times, Doc Strange is only human with limited stamina, speed and reflexes.<br /><br /><em>VS. HULK:</em> He's beaten the Hulk before (Hulk #300), and he'd do it again. Teleporting him to another dimension, forcing him to sleep, making the Hulk believe he's already won the fight and getting him to walk away ... the list goes on and on.<br /><br /><em>VS. FIRESTORM:</em> Know how Spawn's mystical powers would overwhelm Firestorm? Doc's spellcasting would do it the same way. Just faster.<br /><br /><em>VS. PROF. X:</em> Wouldn't Prof. X see him coming? Not when Dr. Strange steps out of a side dimension with a host of spells at the ready, kiboshing the Professor before he had time to spin his wheelchair around.<br /><br /><em>VS. SPAWN:</em> Two things tip it in Doc's favor. First, he's been around a lot longer, traveled to countless dimensions with varied battlegrounds and has forgotten more mystic battles than Spawn's ever experienced. Secondly, while Spawn is cautious with his power, the Doc would just cut loose.<br /><br /><strong>5) THE FLASH (WALLY WEST)</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/TheFlash.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/TheFlash.jpg" border="0" /> </a><em>HIS DEAL:</em> Wally West taps into the Speed Force, a universal force that gives him the ability to run, think and react at near-lightspeed.<br /><br /><em>WHY HE'S #5:</em> It's next to impossible to react to this guy's attack. You're not going to see him coming, and by the time you realize he's there, he's already hit you a hundred times over.<br /><br /><em>VS. HULK:</em> The Flash would just vibrate through the Hulk and , ewww, make him explode.<br /><br /><em>VS. FIRESTORM:</em> For all his powers, Ronnie'd have no time to react to the Flash or even turn intangible. Flash would be all over this guy like white on rice.<br /><br /><em>VS. PROF. X:</em> Knowing the Flash is one-tenth of a nanosecond away from clocking you isn't going to do you much good. Bye-bye, Chuck.<br /><br /><em>VS. SPAWN:</em> 99 percent of Spawn's foes are just big hulking guys relying on raw power. The Flash represents a foe unlike anything ol' Spawny-guy has ever faced, whereas Wally has dealt with magic-based foes before. This fight's over without Al ever knowing who clobbered him.<br /><br /><em>VS. DR. STRANGE:</em> Same deal as Spawn. Doc Strange isn't going to know hitting him and isn't going to stay conscious long enough to find out.<br /><br /><strong>4) WONDER WOMAN</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/WonderWoman.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/WonderWoman.jpg" border="0" /></a><em>HER DEAL:</em> Spawned by Greek goddesses on the paradise island of Themyscira, Dianan is an immortal Amazon granted flight, incredible strength, speed, wisdom, and beauty.<br /><br /><em>WHY SHE'S #4:</em> Raised an an Amazon warrior, Wonder Woman isn't just some muscle-bound brawler--- she's a highly skilled warrior who knows how to spot an enemy's weakness and exploit it.<br /><br /><em>VS. HULK:</em> While the two are pretty evenly matched strength-wise, Diana gets the advantage with speed. flight and warrior skills. As cagey and sharp as the Hulk is, he isn't as skilled in tactical combat.<br /><br /><em>VS. FIRESTORM:</em> Like Flash, Diana'd use superspeed to land one quick punch. And when you're as strong as the Hulk, that's about all you need.<br /><br /><em>VS. PROF. X:</em> After countless battles of wills through fighting the Greek gods' magic and bending people to her will through her magic lasso, we see Wonder Woman being grabbed by Chuck telepathically. But a sluggish Diana either grabs the Prof with her lasso and commands him to stop or just hits him with some loose debris. Either scenario takes Charlie outta the fight.<br /><br /><em>VS. SPAWN:</em> She could take the early hits Spawn would probably nail her with, but she wouldn't be hit by that many. Fueled by speed, strength and warrior know-how, Spawn goes down for the count.<br /><br /><em>VS. DR. STRANGE:</em> Wonder Woman is based in magic, so while Doc is busy unsuccessfully trying to mess with her on that front (no way is he undoing the work of the Greek gods), Diana's superspeed has her on him from all fronts battering his shields with near-Superman-level strength. With that kind of onslaught, she's bound to tag him once, which is all she needs.<br /><br /><em>VS. FLASH:</em> We see Diana hammered relentlessly by hundreds of blows from the as-good-as-invisible Flash. But between her nigh-invulnerability, superspeed and canny fighting prowess, she'd eventually detect a pattern in the Flash's attack and stun him with a glancing blow. Long enough for Diana to finish the job and then collapse.<br /><br /><strong>3) SUPERMAN (PRE-"ELECTRO-SUPERMAN")</strong> <br /><br /><a href="http://http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/Superman.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/Superman.jpg" border="0" /></a><em>HIS DEAL:</em> Rocketed from the exploding planet Krypton, Clark Kent grew to adulthood on Earth to learn that this planet's yellow sun and weaker gravity gave him near-invulnerability strength, speed, stamina, hearing, etc. Calling himself Superman, he now fights the never-ending battle for truth, justice and the American way!<br /><br /><em>WHY HE'S #3:</em> This guy's name pretty much says it all. We've already see the power the Flash has as his command with superspeed, so when you mix in superstrength, heat vision, invulnerability and the other dozen powers at Supes' command, he becomes fairly unbeatable.<br /><br /><em>VS. HULK:</em> We actually saw this already in Marvel vs. DC #3, which saw Supes coming out on top. While the Hulk can stand toe-to-toe in strength, Big Blue's superspeed, flight and heat vision put him over the top.<br /><br /><em>VS. FIRESTORM:</em> While Supes would be in trouble if Firestorm got a bead on him (Firestorm once trapped Supes in a kryptonite bubble back in Fury of Firestorm #4), Supes' speed has him getting the drop on Ronnie, and ending the fight before it ever begins.<br /><br /><em>VS. PROF. X:</em> Though Supes wouldn't take Chuck down as fast as the Flash did, it would only be by a half-second or so.<br /><br /><em>VS. SPAWN:</em> For those of you not in the know, magic (along with kryptonite) is one of the few things that really cripples Supes. Good thing Supes' Flash-like speed lets him get in close to Spawn and take him down with a super-punch before Al even knows what hit him.<br /><br /><em>VS. DR. STRANGE:</em> We see Supes having a lot more trouble with Doc than with Spawn, simply because Doc's a sorcery veteran. But even if he bounced off an initial deflective shield, no way can Doc get a bead on him for a direct attack. A superspeed delivered punch or zap of heat vision wraps up the flight in under a minute.<br /><br /><em>VS. FLASH:</em> Yeah, the Flash is faster, but Supes ain't no slouch in the speed department, either, giving Wally only slight edge. Plus, like WW, Supes can take anything the Flash can dish out and eventually land a knock-out blow.<br /><br /><em>VS. WONDER WOMAN:</em> Now this would be a cool fight! Fairly evenly matched with flight, strength and speed, Supes is still just a little tougher, a little faster and just a tad stronger. Diana would eventually tire, whileSupes is a living solar battery with enough power reserves to be the one (barely) standing at the end of the battle.<br /><br /><strong>2) THOR</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/Thor.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/Thor.jpg" border="0" /></a><em>HIS DEAL:</em> The actual Norse God of Thunder, Thor possesses "normal" Asgardian attributes including immorality, superstrength and nigh-invulnerability. He is armed with Mjolnir, the mystical war hammer capable of opening passageways through space and time, blocking all sorts of energy blasts and bending the elements to its master's will.<br /><br /><em>WHY HE'S #2:</em> This guy is a Norse god warrior, trained and skilled in the art of battle. And he's been doing it for countless ages. Give him a magical hammer and the power over the elements, and he's unbeatable. Almost.<br /><br /><em>VS. HULK:</em> The Hulk may be as tough and as strong as Thor, but Goldilock's got 'im beat in the skill department, seeing as how he's been fighting gods, armies, trolls and wizards for over a millennium. It might mean a couple days bed rest afterward, but Thor wins the belt in this bout.<br /><br /><em>VS. FIRESTORM:</em> Surprised by the sheer force of the storm and unexpected lightening bursts. Firestorm loses his concentration and becomes tangible. Yeah, he wouldn't be beaten by the storm, but one shot from Mjolnir would knock the Nuclear Man senseless.<br /><br /><em>VS. PROF. X:</em> Pushing himself to the limits in his search for the mind behind the storm buffeting the mansion (Mjolnir's magic at work), Prof. X detects Thor's presence seconds before Thor clobbers him into unconsciousness.<br /><br /><em>VS. SPAWN:</em> Puh-lease! Thor's already faced down all sorts of demonic magic types like Hela (Asgard's ruler of Hell), so while Spawn may take some time to wear down, trapping him in the middle of a hurricane, hailing a blitzkrieg of lightening bolts on 'im and pounding him with Mjolnir would leave Al a pile of pulpy necroplasm.<br /><br /><em>VS. DR. STRANGE:</em> Magic? No problema! You gotta remember that Thor's trusty hammer Mjolnir can handle any magic tossed Thor's way. Doc might as well be weaving a blanket instead of a spell, 'cause Thor'd make him say "good night".<br /><br /><em>VS. FLASH:</em> Similiar to his bout with Wonder Woman, the Flash would get in some good shots against the Thunder God... but if it's one thing Thor has shown, it's that he can take punishment. Between the monstrous storm that'd spring up out of nowhere, dodging lightening bolts and whirlinghammers, the Flash would eventually be tagged and, well that'd be that.<br /><br /><em>VS. WONDER WOMAN:</em> The coolest fight on this whole list!!! Two super-strong, super-tough warriors battling it out with sheer power and skills in a battle that would leave both warriors horrifically wounded and completely exhausted... with Thor the last one standing. He's just tougher, with a billion more lifetimes of battle-experience beneath his belt.<br /><br /><em>VS. SUPERMAN:</em> While Supes has the edge in speed and flight (Thor gets pulled by his hammer; he doesn;t really fly.), once again Thor's warrior training and combat experience would give him the edge he needs to have more of his blows connect, eventually laying the Kryptonian flat. It's all in the name: Super-Man; Thor, God of Thunder.<br /><br /><strong>1) SILVER SURFER</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/SilverSurfer.jpg"></p></a><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/SilverSurfer.jpg" border="0" /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/SilverSurfer.jpg"></a><em>HIS DEAL:</em> As the former herald of the world-devourer Galactus, Norrin Radd possesses he "power cosmic," an energy source capable of almost any feat imaginable, making him one of the most powerful beings in the cosmos.<br /><br /><em>WHY HE'S #1:</em> The Surfer is the fringe character that seperates humanity from the omnipotence of Galactus or Eternity, making him tops on our list. His power cosmic is so powerful that it's not a matter of what the Surfer can do, it's what he can't. Matter-manipulation, the power reserves of stars, traveling at lightspeed ... he may even be able to create life. He's truely in a power class of his own.<br /><br /><em>VS. HULK:</em> The Hulk may be physically stronger than the Surfer, but c'mon, our boy Norrin would never let the Hulk get near him. He'd zip up on the Hulk at near-lightspeed, unleash just a fraction of the power cosmic and, when the Hulk came to at the bottom of the smoking crater a couple days later, the Surfer'd be done kicking the crap out of the rest of the heroes on this list.<br /><br /><em>VS. FIRESTORM:</em> No contest. Whatever Ronnie can do, Norrin can undo. With the skill and far greater matter-manipulation power at his command, Firestorm rates a two-panel fight at best.<br /><br /><em>VS. PROF. X:</em> Yeah, you guessed it, between the Surfer's incomprehensible speed and indomitable will, Prof. X may give the Surfer a run for his money in chess, but not in combat. <br /><br /><em>VS. SPAWN:</em> The Surfer's faced down Mephisto, Marvel's version of Satan, so a Satan-flunkie like Spawn ain't gonna do much that the Surfer hasn't overcome before.<br /><br /><em>VS. DR. STRANGE:</em> Dr. Strange is a human conduit of magic with human frailties, while the Surfer can stand at the center of a super-nova without breaking a sweat. It might take a couple of hours, but Strange would burn himself out trying to dent the Surfer.<br /><br /><em>VS. FLASH:</em> Sorry, the Surfer is faster than the Flash, with the power of the universe at his command. Once you take away his speed, Wally is just a guy. G'night, Wally.<br /><br /><em>VS. WONDER WOMAN:</em> Diana may be a better fight, but the Surfer is faster, tougher and more powerful. Ten bucks says Wonder Woman's bracelets aren't up to deflecting the power cosmic.<br /><br /><em>VS. SUPERMAN:</em> While Supes might land a couple of blows as the Surfer is trying to talk to him, our bald buddy Norrin could either hammer Supes into submission with the power cosmic or suck all the solar energy out of him with his energy manipulation powers.<br /><br /><em>VS. THOR:</em> Surfer's power cosmic is fairly evenly matched with Mjolnir (whose magical properies aren't affected by the universe's laws of physics), which would absorb/deflect Surfer's power for a while. While Surfer couldn't do much physical damage to Thor, Thor would hammer the Surfer unconscious ... if he could hit'em. And even though Mjolnir could block Surfer's powerful blasts, some would eventually land. As the battle progressed, more and more of the Surfer's blows would connect until one super-blast of the power cosmic would put the Odinson down for the count. And the worst part? The Surfer, one of the most noble spirits in the universe, would search the rubble after the fight, grab Mjolnir and head off to Disneyworld.<br /><br />Ano? Orayts na ba tayo dito? Anyway medyo outdated naman itong list na ito like sa ngayon meron nang bagong Flash at Firestorm. Mukhang nadadagdagan o nababawasan ang lakas at abilidad ng mga superheroes depende sa mga writers na humahawak ng mga istorya nila. Who knows baka in the future, or possibly bukas, magkakaroon ng bagong set ng mga superheroes na makakatalo sa mga nakalagay sa listahan na ito (at sa tingin ko meron na sila).<br /><br />Basta sa akin si Cyclops pa rin pinakamagaling hehehe...</span></div>Jokerjesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01640170110636880906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350283713745949106.post-69013305569300888582007-05-09T04:46:00.002+08:002008-04-07T02:56:32.141+08:00Jokerjester ver 2.0<div align="justify">Yup, I love to draw clowns (and I would like to point out na wala akong clown fetish).

Whew!<br /><br />Simple lang diba?<br /><br />Target time namin para makakuha ng bus ay 8pm then travel time is 5 to 6 hours since gabi naman yun para makarating pa kami ng Baguio ng mga around 1 am para makapagprepare pa kami ng aming susuutin at para makapagpahinga pa kami ng konti.<br /><br />Simple lang diba?<br /><br />Kaso hindi eh!<br /><br /><span class="fullpost">7:30 PM na ako nakalabas ng trabaho. Dahil sa traffic mga 8pm na ako nakauwi sa apartment. Dahil sa dami ng trabaho ni Maia mga 9pm na kami nakapagkita. Dahil matagal maluto yung mga inorder namin kahit lagi kami nagpapafollowup mga 10pm na kami nakauwi sa tinitirhan ni Maia. Dahil walang makuhang tricycle mga 11pm na kami nakaabot sa Victory Liner Pasay.<br /><br />Malas talaga namin. May naihian siguro akong dwende.<br /><br />Nung tinanong namin yung kahera sa Victory sabi nya next trip daw ay 12am pa. Dahil sa sobrang way behind schedule namin ni Maia sinubukan naming magchance passengers na lang sa 11:30 PM trip.<br /><br />Pucha! Simot lahat ng mga upuan. Kawawa kaming mga chance passengers na umaasang makaupo sa bus. Agad kong tumakbo pabalik sa kahera para kumuha ng 12am slots namin ni Maia.<br /><br />Pucha! Wala na! Next trip na daw ay 1am na! Pucha! Pucha! Pucha! Kung kelan naman nagmamadali...<br /><br />Siguro tinatawanan na ako ng dwendeng basang basa sa ihi ko.<br /><br />1 AM pa! Sana kumuha na lang ako ng mga ticket namin nung meron pa yung 12am trip. Dahil sa sobrang badtrip nasungitan ko si Maia. BAD MOVE! Ayaw nya ako tuloy kausapin.<br /><br />Pucha! Hoy dwende lumabas ka! Kung gusto mo bumawi ihian mo na lang ako! Wag ganito!<br /><br />Sa mga taong nakakakilala sa akin alam nila pag gusto ko ang isang bagay, kahit gaano man ito kasimple o kaliit, gagawin ko ang lahat para makuha ito.<br /><br />Dahil sa kagustuhan kong umuwi ng Baguio at dahil nakapagpromise ako na gagawin ko ang lahat para umuwi para umattend ng Golden Wedding Anniversary.<br /><br />Ayaw kong tanggapin ang aking pagkatalo. Pumila uli ako sa chance passengers ng 12am trip kahit alam kong fully booked na yun. At ako'y nagdasal.<br /><br />Ang lakas ng dasal ko. Hindi pa ako tapos magdasal kinausap ako muli ni Maia pagkatapos ko siyang sungitan.<br /><br />Kuha na lang daw ako ticket ng 1am trip.<br /><br />Ano ba! Teka lang. Sayang din naman baka maraming magpapacancel ng trip nila.<br /><br />Pero hindi naging ganito ang sitwasyon. Paisa-isang dumating ang mga pasahero ng 12am trip. Madami pang naka-taxi na nagmamadaling pumunta ng istasyon pilit habulin ang trip.<br /><br />After ilang minutes lang ang nakakaraan halos napuno na ang bus. Nawawalan na kami ni Maia ng pag-asang makarating ng Baguio ng maaga. Nawawalan kami ng pag-asang makasama ng kahit konti ang aming mga kapamilya. Nawawalan na kami ng pag-asang makapaghanda at makapagayos ng sarili bago pumunta ng simbahan. Nawawalan na kami ng pag-asang umabot sa selebrasyon. Nawawalan na kami ng pag-asang magkaroon ng rason para lumamon ng maraming pagkain.<br /><br />Pero ewan ko ba kung bakit patuloy na sinasagot ni Lord mga panalangin ko kahit patuloy ko siyang inaasar.<br /><br /><em>"Madami pang bakante"</em> sagot ng konduktor sa isang chance passenger na nagtanong. Ayos! Natuyo na rin yung dwendeng inihian ko.<br /><br /><em>"Pero bawal pang pumasok!</em> singit ng tomboy na sekyu. <em>"Hintayin muna natin ang 12 baka may darating pa. Mahirap nang mapaalis pag nakaupo na".</em><br /><br /><em>"Ilang minutes na lang ba?"</em> tanong ni Maia sa sekyu.<br /><br /><em>"Mga 5 minutes na lang pwede na magpapasok"</em> naman ang nakuha nyang sagot.<br /><br />Yun na siguro ang pinakamahabang 5 minutes ng paghihintay sa buong buhay ko kasi 12:15 na kami pinapasok nung sekyung tibo (actually sa puntong ito hindi ko alam kung babae nga ba talaga yung sekyu into kasi pwede na siyang kunin bilang kontrabida sa mga pelikula ni Lito Lapid). Kinuha namin ang bakanteng seat number 11 at 12. Mukhang hindi na umabot ang mga dapat na sasakay dito. May naihian ata silang dwende.<br /><br />Ayos! Ang ganda ng turn of events. Nagsorry ako kay Maia sa pagsusungit ko sa kaniya. Ok lang daw sa kaniya. Naintindihan nya naman sitwasyon ko at sabi nya kahit sino naman daw ay mababadtrip pag sa kanila din nagyari ang mga kamalasang niranasan ko. Nagkatitigan kami ni Maia habang paalis na sa terminal yung bus na sinasakyan namin. Yinakap nya ako at hinalikan sa pisngi bago niya inayos ang sarili niya para matulog habang yakap ko. Ayos ang ganda ng ending pwede pangpelikula. Bati uli kami ni Maia at papunta na kami ng Baguio. <br /><br />Everything turned out ok din in the end...<br /><br /><em>(Pahabol: Dalawang beses nasiraan yung bus na sinakyan namin ni Maia. Dalawang beses kami tumigil para ayusin ang aircon na nagmamalfunction na nagko-cause ng overheating at pagiingay ng makina ng bus. Halos 30 minutes din ang nasayang sa pag-ayos ng sirang ito. Malas. May naihian ata akong dwende.)</em></span></div>Jokerjesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01640170110636880906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350283713745949106.post-59891686974634837492007-04-25T02:23:00.001+08:002008-04-07T03:28:10.783+08:00Optimus Prime's Trailer<div align="justify">Matagal ko na gusto malaman sagot nito. Matagal ng bumabagabag sa isip ko ang tanong na ito mula nung bata pa ako.<br /><br />Hindi ko alam kung sino ang aking lalapitan. Wala sa lahat ng mga pinagtanungan ko ang may alam. Hindi ako kuntento sa mga sagot na binigay ng mga nagtangkang sagutin ang tanong kong ito.<br /><br />Ako'y uhaw na sa katotohanan. Ilang beses ko na rin gustong sumuko sa paghanap ng kasagutan.<br /><br />Hindi ako sumuko. Ayaw ko sumuko. Lagi kong pinapaalala sa sarili ko na balang araw ay malalaman ko na rin ang sagot dito. Balang araw ako'y magiging malaya sa pagkabagabag na dulot nito.<br /><br />Fast Forward tayo ng ilang years...<br /><br />Matanda na ako at marami na nabago sa mundong kinatatayuan ko. Sa panahon ngayon madali ka na makakuha ng mga impormasyong kailangan mo.Lahat ng nais mo ay madali mo nang maangkin dala ng mabilisang pagbabago ng teknolohiya.<br /><br />Sa panahong ito nakuha ko na rin ang sagot na inaasam ko.<br /><br />Sa wakas natapos na rin ang ang aking paghihirap. Tapos na ang aking paghahanap. Malaya na ako.<br /><br />Alam ko na kung saan pumupunta ang trailer ni Optimus Prime pag nagtatransform siya!<br /><br /><a href="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/LF0025.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o231/jokerjester_campos/Blog%20Post%20Pics/LF0025.jpg" border="0" /></a><span class="fullpost">Sa mga nakakaalala sa cartoons dati pag nagtatransform si Optimus Prime from truck mode to robot mode mapapansin mong bigla na lang mawawala ang trailer nya. Babalik na lang ito kung magtatransform siya pabalik ng truck mode. Agad tinignan ng mga pinagtanungan ko sa toy forum kung ano nangyayari sa trailer during transformation gamit ang kanilang mga resources. Pinanood uli nila ang kanilang mga DVD collection. Nung tinignan daw nila ang transformation sequence in slow-mo nakita nilang umaatras yung trailer hanggang mawala sa view ng camera. Naconclude nilang nagtatago lang daw trailer nya.<br /><br />Hindi ako kuntento sa sagot na ito. Agad akong humingi ng saklolo sa Wikipedia.<br /><br />Ito ang sagot na nakuha ko.<br /><br />"The original Optimus Prime transforms into a late 70's or early 1980s Freightliner LLC cab-over-engine (COE) semi-trailer truck, comprising three components. The truck's cab transforms into the robot mode of Prime himself, with vast strength and armed with a laser rifle. Within his chest is contained the mystic talisman known as the Autobot Matrix of Leadership (or Creation Matrix), carried by all Autobot leaders and passed down through the ages. The truck's trailer disconnects and transforms into the Combat Deck, a mobile battle-station/command headquarters with an "Auto-Launcher" robot armed with assorted artillery and beam weapons. It can also serve as radio antenna for battlefield communications between the Autobots. The Combat Deck can launch Prime's third component, Roller, a mobile scout buggy that can easily slip behind enemy lines; when Roller is present somewhere, it is as if Prime is there himself. Injury to one component is felt by each of the others, and while Prime could survive the destruction of either, despite the slight degree of autonomy they possess, the Combat Deck and Roller would not be able to survive without him."<br /><br />Ano daw? Teka kuha muna ko tissue kasi dumugo ilong ko...<br /><br />Hindi lahat ng episodes nafifeature ang Combat Deck. Hindi naman ito lagi nagagamit. At kung laging nagiging combat deck ito dapat neextra pa rin ito during battle scenes kahit minsan lang.<br /><br />Siguro nga nagtatago ito... Nah.<br /><br />Tinuloy ko uli ang aking investigation and research at nahanap ko rin ang pinakapossible na sagot dito.<br /><br />Sa Transformers Universe meron tayong tinatawag na "Mass Reduction" kung saan may abilidad ang mga ang mga Transformers na magpaliit ng mga components nila. Ang pinakamagandang example dito ay si Megatron.<br /><br />"Megatron transforms into a Walther P38 pistol, delivering more focused energy blasts. He can shrink and reduce his mass as he transforms, assuming sizes that comfortably allow either another Transformer or even a human being to wield him. In one instance (the episode "Dinobot S.O.S."), he retained his full size and connected to jet-mode Starscream's underside."<br /><br />Mass reduction din ang ginagamit ni Soundwave pag nagiging microcassette recorder siya at ni Perceptor kapag nagtatransform siya as a microscope.<br /><br />So in conclusion since may abilidad silang magpalaki at magpaliit ng mga components it follows na pinapaliit ni Optimus Prime ang trailer nya para maitago ito at kung kelangan na nya during transformation lumalabas ito, lumalaki, at kumakabit sa kaniya sa truck mode. Meron din akong nabasa na yung space na nawala sa pagreduce ng mass ito ay kanilang nilalagay sa isang dimension at ito'y kanilang kukunin pag kailangan na (sana applicable din ito sa mga bilbil ko...).<br /><br />Pero hindi pa ako tapos. Tinuloy ko pa rin research ko at marami pa ako nakita.<br /><br />Lahat ng mga kakabanggit ko ay applicable lamang sa Optimus Prime sa Generation 1 cartoon series. Paano naman yung mga ibang version nya?<br /><br />No problem. Halos lahat naman ng mga alternate modes ng mga ibang versions nya ay hindi gumagamit ng trailer: Gorilla siya sa Beast Wars na series, White Lion sa Beast Wars II na series, Woolly Mammoth sa Beast Wars Neo na series, at Fire Engine siya sa Robots In Disguise na series.<br /><br />Pero paano yung mga versions na may trailer siya?<br /><br />Two words... Supermode (one word ba ito???)<br /><br />Sa mga ibang versions niya may mga modes na dumidikit ang trailer sa kaniya pag nagtatransfrom siya: sa Super-God Masterforce na series nagcocombine sila ng kaniyang trailer pag nagiging Super Ginrai at sa Armada na series nagcocombine din sila ng kaniyang trailer para sa Super Mode na form nya.<br /><br />Ok na ba tayo dito? Siguro naman marami din kayong natutunan sa akin. Siguro naman hindi lang ako ang naghahanap ng kasagutan dito.<br /><br />Salamat sa pagbabasa. Iwan ko muna kayo kasi may bago akong nireresearch...<br /><br />Bakit laging inuuna ni Superman ang pagsuot ng pantalon bago nya isuot brief nya?</div></span>Jokerjesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01640170110636880906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350283713745949106.post-19144022941430810902007-04-19T02:02:00.000+08:002007-10-23T23:07:32.829+08:00BIR Filing Adventure<div align="justify">Huli na ng makita ko na nalampasan ko na ang date na nilaan ng HR para sa pagbigay sa kanila ng mga kulang kong mga documents para ma-file nila ang ITR (Income Tax Return) ko. Kailangan ko kasing kunin ang BIR form 2316 ko from my previous employer at the next day ko pa ito makukuha kasi dito ako sa Ortigas nagtatrabaho at sa Makati ko pa makukuha yung mga documents na ito.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost">Kinabukasan, agad kong nakuha yung documents ko after office hours. Since Friday na yun mapaparoute ko pa lang ito sa HR pagpasok ko sa Lunes.<br /><br />Late na ako ng 6 days sa pagfile ng aking ITR.<br /><br />Pagkapasok ko ng Monday agad kong pinaroute yung documents ko sa HR. Nakarating ito sa kanila mga hapon na.<br /><br />Late na ako ng 7 days sa pagfile ng aking ITR.<br /><br />Tinawagan ako ng HR at sinabing kulang ang mga documents na pinaroute ko.Hindi ko sinama ang mga BIR Form 2316 ng aking pangkasalukuyang trabaho. Sabi nila dapat din daw itong isama sa computation. Ipinaroute nila pabalik sa akin ang aking mga kulang na documents mga hapon na. Matatanggap ko pa lang ito kinabukasan.<br /><br />Late na ako ng 8 days sa pagfile ng aking ITR.<br /><br />Pagkakuha ng mga documents ko agad kong pinaprint ang nirerequire nilang Form 2316 na makukuha sa website na sinabi nila. Pagkatapos kong magfillup uli at magrecompute agad kong pinaroute pabalik sa HR ang kumpleto kong documents. Hapon ko na natapos ang mga ito kasi may trabaho din akong isinasikaso nung umaga. The next day pa lang matatanggap ng HR ang mga ito.<br /><br />Late na ako ng 9 days sa pagfile ng aking ITR.<br /><br />Akala ko tapos na.<br /><br />Tinawagan uli ako ng HR. Sabi nila ako daw mismo ang magfafile sa BIR ng ITR ko kasi "not consolidated case" daw ako. Nagtataka sila kung bakit pinaroute ko pa pabalik sa kanila mga documents ko. Mukhang hindi kami nagkaintindihan sa phone conversation namin dati. Hapon na ako tinawagan. The next day ko pa makukuha uli mga documents ko.<br /><br />Late na ako ng 10 days sa pagfile ng aking ITR.<br /><br />After lunch ko na nakuha mga documents ko. Agad akong nagpaalam na Team Lead namin na labas ako maaga para makapagfile ako ng ITR. Buti na lang pwede akong magoffset kasi madaling araw na ako nakauwi nung day na yun. Mula sa opisina namin tinakbo ko na papuntang MRT station. Medyo malayo-layo din yun. Kailangan makarating ako ng Atrium bago magsara ang BIR office dun ng 5pm. Bwiset! Naka-long sleeves pa ako habang mataas ang araw at sobrang init ng panahon... with matching leather shoes pa.<br /><br />Pagkababa ko sa Ayala MRT station malayo-layo rin nilakad ko papuntang Atrium. Ang lakas na ng tulo ng aking pawis at feeling ko naging chicharon na lahat ng mga taba ko sa katawan. Sa layo ng nilakad ko konti lang ang nakita kong pwedeng masisilungan. Pero hindi ko na inisip sumilong at magpahinga. Kailangan ko mahabol ang closing ng BIR!<br /><br />Pero san nga ba yung BIR?<br /><br /><em>"Sir, pasok lang kayo at makikita nyo na agad sa may kanan..."</em><br /><br />Metrobank naman.<br /><br />Ah! Baka dun sa may nakasulat na BIR...<br /><br /><em>"Ano kailangan mo?"</em> ang tanong sa akin ng isang bruskong lalaking mukhang kontrabida sa pelikula na nakaupo sa mesa sa labas ng branch.<br /><br /><em>"Magfafile lang po ng ITR. Dito po ba?"</em> sabay abot ko sa kaniya mga dokumento ko para maexamine nya.<br /><br /><em>"Bakit ngayon lang ito nung 16 pa dapat ito."</em><br /><br />Yahoo! Late lang pala ako ng 2 days! Sa HR lang pala ako late ng 10.<br /><br /><em>"Nagkawala-wala po kasi ang mga ito habang pinaparoute po pabalik sa akin ang mga documents kong ito"</em> ang sabi ko na lang. Mas ok kasi pakinggan yun kaysa <em>"Tinamad ko kasing gawin at ano naman paki mo!"</em>.<br /><br /><em>"Punta ka 5th floor at dun mo ibigay ito."</em><br /><br />Pucha! Ewan ko ba kung bakit napakamalas ko ng araw na yun. Ano kaya nagawa ko.<br /><br />Pagod. Uhaw. Inis. 5th Floor. Walang gumaganang escalator.<br /><br />Pucha! Pucha! Pucha!<br /><br />Pagkadating dun dami palang office ng BIR sa floor na yun!<br /><br />30 minutes to go bago magsara BIR.<br /><br />Pucha! Pucha! Pucha!<br /><br />Pero kahit papaano malakas din tsamba ko.<br /><br /><em>"Bakit ngayon lang ito? May fee na ito sa pagiging late. Pasok ka sa loob."</em><br /><br /><em>"Bakit ngayon lang ito? Hindi dito yan. Punta ka dun."</em><br /><br /><em>"Bakit ngayon lang ito?"</em><br /><br /><em>"Bakit ngayon lang ito?... Bakit ngayon lang ito?... Bakit ngayon lang ito???!!!"</em><br /><br />OO NA! SORRY LATE NA! TINAMAAN LANG NG TAMAD! ANO BA! SUNTUKAN NA LANG!... Bwiset! Ilang beses ba nila uulitin! Malapit ko na mabulalas ito. Buti na lang pinigilan ko sarili ko.<br /><br /><em>"Pasok ka sa kwarto dun... at bakit ngayon lang ito?"</em><br /><br />Anak ng pucha naman oh! Isa ka pa!<br /><br />Sa wakas, nakita ko na rin ang pagbibigayan ko ng mga documentong basang-basa na ng pawis ko at medyo nalukot-lukot dahil sa kakatakbo ko.<br /><br /><em>"Ano po yun?"</em><br /><br /><em>"Magfafile lang po ng ITR. Dito po ba?"</em><br /><br /><em>"Ah ito ba? Bakit ngayon lang ito?"</em><br /><br /><em>"Ah eh hehehe nagkawala-wala po habang pinaparoute po papunta sa akin ang mga ito."</em><br /><br />Pagkaabot ko sa kaniya agad nyang tinatatakan mga dokumento. Pagkatapos nito inabutan nya ako ng isang set ng mga forms na may tatak at sinabing <em>"Ito kopya mo"</em>.<br /><br /><em>"San po ako pupunta next?"</em><br /><br /><em>"Tapos na."</em><br /><br /><em>"Yun lang po ba?"</em><br /><br /><em>"Oo."</em><br /><br />Pucha! Ganun lang kadali! Ang layo pa ng pinanggalingan ko! Malayo pa nilakad ko! Halos madehydrate na ako sa init ng panahon...<br /><br />Ganon lang pala kasimple! Wala akong binayarang fee dahil sa pagiging late. Hindi na ako pumila ng pagkahaba-haba.<br /><br />Ganon lang pala kasimple! Ok lang pala ang maging late hehehe.<br /><br />Pagkalabas ko ng Atrium sinalubong ako ng malakas na sikat ng araw. Grabe hindi pa rin nagbabago ang init magmula ng pumasok ako sa Atrium. Buti na lang may nagtitinda ng sorbetes malapit sa fishball-an sa labas ng entrance.<br /><br />Ang sarap talaga kumain ng sorbetes na pinalaman sa tinapay pag maiinit ang panahon. Buti na lang dalawa binili ko.</span></div>Jokerjesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01640170110636880906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350283713745949106.post-54113636375817500242007-04-18T06:11:00.001+08:002008-04-07T02:51:28.678+08:00Rook<div align="justify">Bagong drawing ko na naman using Microsoft Paint.
