In Final Crisis #7, the evil overlord of Apokilips, Darkseid, has become EVERYTHING. And Superman takes the damn god out with a SONG. Seriously. He fucking sings with all he’s got, and he fucking kills a fricking almost-immortal god with a song. Now, the awesometastic Dr. K is asking people to fill in the gaps in the narrative.

Exactly what song does Superman sing into the Miracle Machine to Save The World?

While Baddie has his own idea, this is what I think:

Final Crisis 7

I believe that Superman is secretly a Bon Jovi fan and was waiting for the right moment to unleash all its fury on the evil god.

What do you think?

My Wallet Sort of Hates Me Right Now

14 Jul

Let me open this blog entry by posting a message to the oil conglomerates and those who constantly raise prices of basic commodities like Mini Stop Kariman and those things I buy off street urchins (I don’t know what those things are, but I tend to float three feet off the ground whenever I sniff that stuff):

I hate you
Also, fuck you.

Now that rant’s safely out of the way, let me tell you what’s been bothering me lately. You see, it seems that every single thing has been becoming too expensive, too fast. Just the other day, bus fare jumped up a whopping three pesos. Okay, that didn’t sound too much, but for miserly old me, it’s a fortune. (more…)

Malu Fernandez Hits Bloggers

17 Mar

After the OFW brouhaha, Malu Fernandez has once again tried to ruffle everyone’s feathers by being as tactless as she hits this time, the people who brought that issue into the open – bloggers. In her latest article, “The Problem With Blogging…“, she says:

I believe in the freedom of speech. By all means say what you need to say. Unfortunately for most of the bloggers without advertising you get paid nothing. If in fact you do get paid then hooray for you. But blogging, aside from Perez Hilton and the other big time bloggers (you know who you are) is for me a slacker job or a medium and pastime for lonely people to connect. Unless you’re in bloody Siberia or in a Gulag prison, try stepping outside your comfort zone and turn off the laptop or pc, you just might find some real live people to talk to instead of typing away in cyber space.

Okay, I admit I refused to comment on the issue the first time it came out because, honestly, I find it LOL. Her original article was in bad taste and all and I refuse to give her justification of any kind by commenting on it. Same as now. I’m just LOL-ing at it and shrugging it off.

But I’m curious. What do YOU think of this whole Malu Fernandez versus the bloggers thing?

An iQuestion

21 Oct

Okay, I know they suck and all, but I’ve been too cheap and lazy to buy a new pair of iPod earphones ever since my Sony in-ear buds broke early this year. So I’ve been spending months using the stock ‘buds that came with my 2nd gen nano. They actually sound better than the (broken) ones that came with my old (also broken) shuffle, but still sucky nonetheless.

But as of yesterday, my earphones finally gave up the ghost.

So yeah, I have a two pairs of broken iPod ‘buds and I’m currently using the stock earbuds that came with my dad’s Sony mp3 player (yes he has one. My dad is cooler than your dad). And I seem to have a bad track record with my rather expensive consumer electronics. I suck like that. (more…)

OCD: The Musical

13 Jan

So maybe it’s not news to you if I told you that I bought me a new iPod (to replace the shuffle that went kaput) a couple of weeks ago. And I’ve been playing around with iTunes afterwards. You see, I haven’t updated iTunes in a long while, and since my new nano required iTunes 7, I had to install the latest version (BTW, it took me two hours and three tries to download and install it. Thanks a lot for the stable software, Steve).

Anyway, I’m curious what you guys are listening to. So open up your iTunes (or whatever music player you’ve got installed), and go to the “Top 25 Most Played” playlist (or your player’s equivalent). And tell me what’s your #1 song in that list, and how many times you’ve played it. As a bonus, you can also tell me what’s the song currently playing as you read this. Screenshots NOT mandatory.

Here’s mine, by the way: “Night and Day” by Lisa Ono, which played for a measly 39 times (I had to reinstall iTunes, see?). And my current song playing is “Fuck Her Gently” by Tenacious D.

So, what’s yours?

Something to Lose Sleep Over

10 Feb

Ever had one of those times when you want to solve a certain problem so hard that you are losing sleep over it? I have my fair share of sleepless nights over some problems with unfathomable solutions.

Me, being philosophical

What stuff do I lose sleep over? Let’s just say I ponder about deep, philosophical questions that will benefit mankind. If I even solve a quarter of the problems in my head, the world would be a better place. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you my biggest problem so far:

Just how do you effin’ call this decade?

I mean, the 60’s are called “The Sixties”, the 70’s are called “The Seventies”, the 80’s are called “The Mullet Eighties”, the 90’s are called… well, you get my drift. It makes sense to type this decade as “00’s”, but we’re already halfway through the decade and we still don’t have a verbal term for it! Don’t you guys get it? It’s scary! VERY scary! I’m losing sleep over this! AM I THE ONLY ONE BOTHERED BY THIS?!

I’ve thought up of a few names for this decade, but I just can’t decide on one:

  • The Zeroes
  • The Double O’s (currently my favorite)
  • ZeroZero
  • Decade Zero
  • Double Whammy
  • The Decade That Must Not Be Named

So what do you guys think? What do you prefer? Can you guys think up of a few ones of your own? Please help me get me my peace of mind back. I need to have a good night’s sleep badly.
