A Sitcom that is a Legen- wait for it- dary! Legendary!

by Radel F. Llagas

“The world is full of incomprehensible words”, as Future Ted had quoted in a hilarious sitcom entitled How I Met Your Mother, and now I think my words are not enough to explain how this epic sitcom lasts for almost seven years and counting because of its upcoming 8th season.

The show was started on September 19, 2005 at CBS starring Josh Radnor as Ted Mosby, Jason Segel as Marshall Eriksen, Cobie Smulders as Robin Scherbatski, Alyson Hannigan as Lily Aldrin and Neil Patrick Harris as Barney Stinson and continuously teaches its viewers moral values with a touch of comedy. It is the story of Ted telling his son and daughter how he met their mother and his search in the big city of New York with the aid of his four best friends Marshall, Lily, Robin, and Barney and their funny and snappy misadventures.

I think this entertaining and quirky sitcom are meant for young professionals and college students or generally for young adults because of its theme focused on love and relationships, with sexual-themed humor and other things that only adults can grasp. Despite this, we can say that the strong point of this witty comedy is the chemistry between the five main characters it’s like they were real-life best friends when you watch them in the show and what this quintet experiencing might also reflect to the viewers.

All thanks to its creators Craig Thomas and Cater Bays who don’t let us down in their epic show for every episode that they produce, no wonder it has been a critical success and has received consistently positive reviews throughout its run.

As Future Ted was saying, the world is full of incomprehensible words. There are a lot of things I want to say in this article but I’m just overwhelmed that this snappy sitcom is one of the best in the world and everyone should have a chance to watch it because this sitcom is a must see or a requirement before you leave the world, just kidding. All I want to say is if you still haven’t watched this epic sitcom, you better watch now because this will be Legen – wait for it –dary! Legendary!

Pick-Up Lines 101

by Jhuwen C. Balite

Wala ka bang magawa?

Baket?

Kasi… binabasa mo itong blog namen..

 BOOM!!

Since pilot article ko itong binabasa mo… dapat lang na explosive din yung nilalaman nito. Kaya naisip kong I feature sa unang article ko ang sumasabog sa pick-up lines. Paano nga ba mag bitaw ng pick-up lines at gaano din ito ka effective sa mga babae? Aalamin natin lahat ng iyan ngayon.

Sa pick-up lines may criteria rin tayong sinusunod para maging epektib sa pagsasabihan natin.

30% originality

20% creativity

50% impact

Yan ang criteria na sinusunod ng isang pick-up line. Sa originalty, mas maganda kung sarili mong gawa ang pick-up line mo… mas bago sa pandinig kaysa gumamit ka ng luma at gasgas ng pick-up lines sa tipo mong dilag. Kung susubukan mo ring gumamit ng mga “secondmouth” pick-up lines ay siguraduhin mong hindi pa naririnig nung babae yung pick-up line na yun, kundi ay ekis ka.

Sumunod naman ang creativity kung sariling gawa mo ang pick-up line na bibitawan mo. Dapat kakaiba at yung hindi maiiisip ng iba na pwedeng gawing pick-up line. For example; kaning baboy ka ba? O kaya ay piatos ka ba? Fudgee barr ka ba? Hahaha.. halatang gutom na ko habang sinusulat ko to at dahil sa nakikita ko yung paninda ng computer shop na to. Going back, kung gagawa ka man ng kakaibang pick-up line, siguraduhin mong mapapanindigan mo at mabibigyan mo ng justice yan kapag binitawan mo na. baka kasi kapag pumalpak, sisihin mo ako.. pepektusan kita kapag nangyari iyon.

Ang pangatlo at pinaka importanteng element na dapat nilalaman ng isang pick-up line ay ang “impact” ayan nakabold pa, baka hindi mo pa mapansin. Yan kasi ang madalas makalimutan ng marami sa atin. Dapat kapag nagsabi ka ng pick-up line, mapapa BOOM! Yung mga tao sa paligid mo, ksma na yung chick na pinagsabihan mo. Kasi kahit gaano pa ka orig at ka creative yang pick-up line mo, kung wala naming dating eh balewala din.

Siya nga pala, may nalimutan akong elemento. Para siguradong pumatok ang pick-up lines mo ay subukan mo ring umarkila ng back-up boys. 1% din siguro ang maitutulong nila sa pick-up line mo. Moral support ika nga.

O pano, hanggang ditto nalang muna.. balitaan nyo ko kung epektib ba. At kung hindi man. At least nalaman ko mula sa inyo bago ko subukan. haha. Joke lang.

Review:

With the dawn of Tablet Computers and Smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy Note i717 combines the technology of both into one easy-to-use device. With the Super AMOLED 800 x 1280 pixel multi-touch, it offers a great screen resolution as well as the capacity to view pictures, videos, documents and other applications in one of the best views available today.

Powered by a 1.5 GHz Dual-Core Scorpion and an Android v2.3 Gingerbread Operating system, it has a speed greater than that of the iPhone 4s and even the rumored iPhone 5. This CPU system provides the Galaxy Note i717 to use almost every application abailable in the Android Market and even capture surprisingly vivid images and a whooping 1080p High-Definition Video capability. It can also provide a very fast access to different networks thanks to its 21 Mbps HSDPA and HSUPA 5.76 Mbps as well as the ability to provide a Wi-Fi Hotspot network.

Overall, the Samsung galaxy Note i717 is a stunning smartphone except on one aspect; it’s size.  A 146.8 x 83 x 9.7 mm and 170g size for a smartphone is quite too big but in the world of tablet computers, that size is enough to have it inside your pocket. No matter how big this phone is, the capacity, potential and versatility of this device is certified Bromazing!

Back to Basics

by Fil-maur Louis M. Nacion

“Don’t judge the book by its cover”

This is true but we cannot deny that however how much you protest, everyone instantly judge you on how you look. Even if you’re a CEO on a big company, having luxurious cars, and owning an iPhone 4s, it doesn’t make sense if you have a nose hair saying “hi” to everyone because it’s too long and your nails seems to be a farm because of its dirt. Still, everyone that will see you will judge you accordingly. We’re here to make sure that it will never happen to you!

Read on and get a grip on how you can get a good impression. In here, we believe that making sure there’s nothing Neanderthal about your body is not vain, it’s ESSENTIAL.

The best way to be well groomed is still sticking on the basics.

GO! GET IN THE SHOWER.  The basic step to staying clean and smelling good even without any cologne. This is a step you have no reasons to miss because it’s as simple as water, shower and towel. You’re tired? Lazy? Feeling cold? I don’t care, SHOWER!

YOU’RE NOT A CAVEMAN, SHAVE. Shave regularly to look clean and be at your best. If you prefer to have a beard or a moustache, make sure it is trimmed and has no hairs pointing out in multiple directions. Also make sure that you shave in the same direction as the growth of the hair and that you soften your facial hair or at least wet it before shaving. This will ensure that you will not be hurt or cut while shaving.

BE YOURSELF AND HAVE A SENSE OF STYLE. Choose clothes that will fit well on you, it is not important if it is branded or not. Also, be sure that it is ironed and smells good before you wear it. Don’t use styles of clothes that don’t look good on you or worse, makes you look like an idiot, just because it is popular or in. HIPSTER? No way! And most importantly, the number one rule is: Don’t recycle clothes that have been thrown into your laundry basket because you have run out of clean, ironed clothes. You won’t fool anyone with that trick!

BE STRAIGHT.  Maintain a good posture because it is very important. Do not tend slouch and always walk straight because it projects confidence and assertiveness in a man. If you have trouble with maintaining your posture, do some posture exercises regularly till you perfect your posture. You’re not a turtle you a MAN!

DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CHECK. Having a very long busy day at school or at work tend to make your clothes crumpled, have ball pen marks and get food stains. Make sure you check yourself in the mirror to see if you need to adjust anything in your attire. REPEAT IF NEEDED.

5 IN 1. All of these tips break down into one, having a HEALTHY BODY. If you take care of your body, half of the job is done. Eat regular and balanced meals, get your share of physical exercise and get rid of your vices.

Our appearances reflect ourselves. If someone notices you and leaves a comment, either it is positive or not, it came from YOU not from THEM.

Bloody Burst Action Packed Movie of 2012

by Jasper Noel C. Barba

This movie is one of a hell action film and it really gets into my nerves when I watched it yesterdaystunts are awesome, funnier (than the first film) and better team up. The film was great I never thought that this would happen in the history of action films a one jam-pack film by Lionsgate Production and Director Simon west, brings us another action film that we will never forget.

An unforgettable experience watching this film, action legends in one film isn’t that amazing. The story started August 13, 2010 and it was Directed by Sylvester Stallone the film was about a team of mercenaries is given the assignment to take out a corrupt military leader and a rogue CIA operative on a Latin American island. 

And now they’re back for war teaming up with the action legends like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, Bruce Willis and Jean-Claude Van Damm. Now their adventure starts August 18, 2012 in all Philippine Cinemas.

“You’d better not miss this film!”

Storyline: The Expendables are reunited when Mr. Church enlists them to take on a seemingly simple job. When things go wrong, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory, where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time - five tons of weapons-grade plutonium, more than enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that's nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary they seek revenge from.
