EMINƎM

This is my tribute to the greatest rapper alive. Eminem is the shit. He’s the type of man that doesn’t brag about his status. He doesn’t care about swag. He doesn’t talk about bling, cars, fame and hoes. He just makes good music. He’s done what most lack… and that’s putting all of you into your music. All of that emotion about life. Your anger, your background, your emotion, your rage, your stories. Eminem does all of that. Sometimes I don’t think he gives himself enough credit and sometimes I don’t think he gets the recognition he deserves. Yet he still continues to do him and still make good music. That’s why I have so much respect for him. Happy Birthday, Marshall!

Francis Magalona, His Photos and Kaleidoscope World

The reason why I pursue my dream to become a photographer. Happy birthday Francis M.

We Are On The Same Page

When I was in high school back in 2002, I got interested in photography coz of my subject in Journalism. The problem was I can't afford a SLR/DSLR camera that time. I didn't got a chance to pursue my dream to become a photographer.

Six years later, I saw Francis M's multiply website and I found out that he himself was also into photography and already a member of CCP (Camera Club of the Philippines). Kick ass!

I adore Francis Magalona. I look up to him, and in fact, some of who or what I am today is because of him. He influenced me in a lot of ways but being interested in photography was a coincident.

I am not Francis Magalona but in my own little way I am on the same page. Francis Magalona also liked underground more than mainstream when it comes to music just like I do. Loonie of Stick Figgas confirmed that.

I wish Francis Magalona is still alive so he can inspire more Filipinos like me.

Long live The King.

Team Xtreme

Here are your Best Team for four consecutive months, the only team who made it possible in Docomo Intertouch history... Team Xtreme! I've been in this team for almost 3 years and I have been under three different Team Leaders. Actually, there are four of us, only four of us that have been in this team for almost three years coz most of my previous teammates already left the company. There were so many times that I also wanted to leave the company but I can't just do it, one of the reason is them. I enjoy working with Team Xtreme.

HISTORY

Before Team Xtreme, it was Extremely Brilliant which was named by my former teammates that already left the company. I suggested the name Xtreme but when I was not around they changed it to Extremely Brilliant. The name was so gay for me but I can't do anything about it coz my first Team Leader at that time is a girl and she liked it. It was a majority decision as well coz most of my teammates at that time were gays so they liked it. I don't like the name but I like those people who has been a part of the team. It's just a name, the important thing was we all became good friends. I would like to say wassup to all my friends that were been a part of Team Xtreme. Here are some pix of the original Team Xtreme:

KoЯn Experience

Watching Korn live was a great experience. I got to watch one of the most influential band in the world. The word "awesome" is the only way to describe how I felt that night. They are fucking awesome. We entered the General Admission only but we sure felt Korn's presence. For those who don't know, Korn is the one who pioneered Nu Metal sound with the release of their debut album in 1993. Nu Metal is a subgenre of Heavy Metal and one of my favorite. Here's a video of them performing "Blind":

My Corregidor Island Adventure

Corregidor Island, locally called Isla ng Corregidor, is an island located at the entrance of Manila Bay in southwestern part of Luzon Island in the Philippines. During World War II, Corregidor played an important role during the invasion and liberation of the Philippines from Japanese forces. Heavily bombarded in the latter part of the war, the ruins left on the island serve as a military memorial to American, Filipino and Japanese soldiers who served or lost their lives on the island.  Corregidor is one of the important historic and tourist sites in the country.

Nowadays, all that's left in the island are ruins, tunnels and large weapons left by the aftermath of World Ward II. I was invited by my brother and her girlfriend, together with their friends, to explore this historic place.

We saw all then ruins caused by the bombings of Japanese Military during the World War II. It was said that the Japanese targeted the American Headquarters and hospitals which where the soldiers were being treated. It was also said that the reason why the hotel and suites were bombed as well was because the Japanese thought that General Douglas McArthur was staying in one of those hotel and suites. What the Japanese didn't know was the Americans and Filipinos built a tunnel where they moved their headquarters and hospitals.

We also saw the Japanese Garden of Peace where they buried all the Japanese soldiers that died in this place and the historic lighthouse which was one of the most important lights in the archipelago.

Corregidor Beach

After a day tour in Corregidor Island, there is a special tour of the Malinta Tunnel. It is a night tour those who remain overnight in Corregidor. This tour allows visitors to see the different laterals of the 1,000-bed capacity Fort Mills Hospital which was used during the siege of Corregidor.

It is pitch dark inside the tunnel so the tour guide brings along a large flashlight for the tour since the hospital laterals are no longer lighted by electricity. The tour guide showed us the laterals used as medical wards. It is believed that the other remaining lateral was intended for the hospital's administrative office and also for the storage of medicines, medical supplies and hospital equipment.

Later that night, we went back to the hotel for dinner. Then we had fun at the hotel where we were staying and played a game called "Tabbo Word!" while having drinking session. We enjoyed the night because of the game. It's like our bonding of the night.

On the next day, we were supposed to catch the sun rise but we were too lazy to get up early because of what happened the night before. We just went zip lining and swimming at the area near the hotel. It was a good experience.

Wolfpack

Wolfpack is composed of four piece wolves. The idea of the name Wolfpack came from the movie "The Hangover." I took the hand shake which is like a wolf head from which was originally used by HBK and his group called The Kliq from WWF. I really am a fan of HBK. Ha ha! Then there was the NWO Wolfpack which the other member of the Kliq formed at WCW. They brought the hand shake on that group so it's also one of the reason why liked the name Wolfpack. It's not about wrestling, it's about the idea and the friendship. So from that day on, the Wolfpack was formed.

My HBK Alter Ego

My alter ego was named after the greatest wrestler of all time, the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels, my childhood hero. Actually, I didn't use the name because of wrestling, but it's because of his character in the WWE. Ever since I was a kid, I always use the name HBK. All of my friends called me HBK when I was young.

In WWE, the character of Heart Break Kid was a cocky villain. But aside of being a character, that's the way Shawn Michaels was. A rebel type who acted and spoke as he pleased, no matter how provocative. He's a straightforward guy and that's one thing I learned from him. That's the main reason why I named my alter ego after him.

Anyway, if you remember my last post about the HBK alter ego that I killed, he's back. The reason I killed it was because HBK is an alter ego that is kind of immature. I never thought that the time will come that I have to use it again. My HBK alter ego is back. The reason I brought back this alter ego was so that I can do things which the normal me cannot do, and it goes by the name.

So right now, I have three faces... My two alter egos and the one behind those masks.

Wrestling GOAT

When the words “greatest wrestler of all time” are mentioned, dozens of names jump to mind. 

Stars of the ’60s and ’70s such as Bruno Sammartino and Buddy Rogers. Stars of the ’80s such as Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan. Stars of the ’90s such as The Rock, Steve Austin, Undertaker, and Bret Hart. You can ask 50 people, and you might get 50 different answers.

What does it take to be the greatest wrestler of all time? Wrestling talent? Mic skills? Charisma? Popularity with the fans? Merchandise sales? Selling pain? Performing well on the biggest stage?

Which wrestler combines all of the above? Which wrestler has the total package of all that is needed to be considered the best?

In my opinion, there is only one man who deserves to be called the greatest of all time.

That man’s name is Shawn Michaels.

Wrestling talent? Arguably the best ever. With a scrub of an opponent, Shawn can have a good match. With a good opponent, expect a great match. And with a great opponent such as Flair, Undertaker or Jericho, don’t be surprised to end up with the match of the year.

Mic skills? Shawn’s promos are always one of the highlights of any wrestling show.

Charisma? Shawn has that in spades.

Popularity? He routinely gets the biggest pops of the night.

Selling merchandise? Just glance at the threads on a typical wrestling audience member if you need proof.

Selling pain? Aside from Mick Foley, no one can sell like Shawn Michaels.

Shawn has an excellent move set, flawlessly combining high flying, striking, submission, and grappling. His Sweet Chin Music can come out of nowhere and is one of the most lethal finishers of all time.

Think of some of WWE’s trademark matches. The ladder match. Hell in a Cell. The ironman match. Who was in the first of all of these? Shawn Michaels. Each match was five-star caliber, or damn close.

In 2002, Shawn made his return from what many thought was a career-ending back injury. After four years away from the ring, Shawn seamlessly regained his spot as the best in the business.

At the grandest stage of them all, Wrestlemania, there is absolutely no one better than Shawn Michaels. Undertaker has his streak, but when Wrestlemania rolls around you know Michaels will most likely have the best match on the card.

The Kliq Reunion

Last April 2, 2011, The Kliq, consisting of Kevin Nash, Sean Waltman, Triple H and Shawn Michaels, made a special appearance as Shawn Michaels was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame 2011.  This blog is to commemorate the greatest wrestler of all time, the headliner, the icon, the main event, Mr. Wrestlemania, and Mr. Hall Of Fame, the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels. Thank you, Shawn!


Where does Shawn Michaels rank among the all-time greats in WWE history? 
As an in-ring performer, no one ever did it better. End of story. -Jim Ross

The Kliq

The Kliq circa 1995

They are the reason why I watched wrestling back then. I started watching wrestling back in 1995 when I was 9 years old. I’m a fan of the old wrestling days.

What is The Kliq?
The Kliq was a backstage group in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) during the mid-1990s, which some claim held virtually all booking power and were accused of refusing to be fair to anyone outside of the group.

The group was composed of Michael Hickenbottom, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sean Waltman, and Paul Levesque. In 1996, The Kliq broke character at a house show at Madison Square Garden in an incident referred to as the “Curtain Call: The MSG Incident”, an event which affected the WWF’s subsequent storylines and development.

The Kliq was also the primary catalyst for the two most controversial stables in wrestling history: D-Generation X in the WWF and the New World Order in World Championship Wrestling (WCW).

Just Don't Give a Fuck

A lot of people ask me.. am I just bitter on things I talk about my blog..

A lot of people think that.. I'm being unprofessional coz I say some retarded shit..

To set the record straight.. this is my blog..

I can say anything I want.. whether you like it or not..
Love it, hate it..

I just don't give a fuck!

Look, I can't change the way I think..

And I can't change the way I am..

But if I offended you? Good..

Cause I still don't give a fuck!

"I've never been afraid to say what's on my mind and

I've never been afraid to talk about anything."

Space Bound

I can relate to the story of this song.

Space Bound

By Eminem

We touch, I feel a rush, we clutch, it isn't much

But it's enough to make me wonder what's in store for us

It's lust, it's torturous, you must be a sorcerous

Cause you just, did the impossible, gained my trust

Don't play games it'll be dangerous if you fuck me over

Cause if I get burnt, I'ma show ya what it's like to hurt

Cause I've been treated like dirt befo' ya

And love is "evol", spell it backwards, I'll show ya

Nobody knows me, I'm cold, walk down this road all alone

It's no one's fault but my own, it's the path I've chosen to go

Frozen as snow, I show no emotion what'so ever, so

Don't ask me why I have no love for these mo'fuckin' hoes

Blood-suckin' succubuses, what the fuck is up with this?

I've tried in this department, but, I ain't had no luck with this

It sucks but it's exactly what I thought it would be like tryin' to start over

I've got a hole in my heart from some kind of emotional roller-coasta';

Somethin' I won't go on till you toy with my emotions, so it's over

It's like an explosion every time I hold ya, wasn't jokin' when I told ya

You take my breath away, you're a supernova

And I'm a...

I'm a space-bound rocketship and your heart's the moon

And I'm aimin' right at you

Right at you

250, 000 miles on a clear night in June

And I'm aimin' right at you

Right at you

Right at you

I'll do whatever it takes, when I'm with you, I get the shakes

My body aches when I ain't with you, I have zero strength

There's no limit on how far I would go, no boundaries, no lengths

Why do we say that until we get that person that we think's

Gonna be that one and then once we get 'em, it's never the same

You want 'em when they don't want you, soon as they do, feelin's change

It's not a contest and I ain't on no conquest for no mate

I wasn't lookin' when I stumbled onto you, musta been fate

But so much is at stake, what the fuck does it take, let's cut to the chase

'Fore the door shuts in your face, promise me if I cave in and break

And leave myself open that I won't be makin' a mistake

Coz I'm a

I'm a space-bound rocketship and your heart's the moon

And I'm aimin' right at you

Right at you

250, 000 miles on a clear night in June

And I'm aimin' right at you

Right at you

Right at you

So after a year and 6 months, it's no longer me that you want

But I love you so much it hurts, never mistreated you once

I poured my heart out to you, let down my guard, swear to God

I'll blow my brains in your lap, lay here and die in your arms

Drop to my knees and I'm pleadin', I'm tryin' to stop you from leavin'

You won't even listen, so fuck it, I'm tryin' to stop you from breathin'

I put both hands on your throat, I sit on top of you, squeezin'

Til' I snap your neck like a Popsicle stick, ain't a possible reason

I can think of to let you walk up out this house and let you live

Tears stream down both of my cheeks, then I let you go and just give

And before I put that gun to my temple, I told you this

And I would've did anything for you

To show you how much I adored you

But it's over now, it's too late to save our

Love

Just promise me you'll think of me

Every time you look up in the sky and see a star

Coz I'm a

I'm a space-bound rocketship and your heart's the moon

And I'm aimin' right at you

Right at you

250, 000 miles and a clear night in June

And I'm so lost without you

Without you

Without you

January Days

I promised to myself that I'm gonna get this shit off my chest. It started last December, I did my best to find a way so I can visit my girl at our province where she is working as a nurse. I got in to trouble, I was involved in a fight and I made that as a reason so I can request a leave of absence from work so I can go home to our province. I can request a schedule adjustment if I wanted to but I decided to choose the leave of absence even without pay so I can just visit my girl in our province. A fucking effort just to show how much I missed her.

We were cool that time, no problem and still loving each other. Before I left, she told me that she wanted me to be with her on Christmas day and on New Year's day which was impossible at that time because of hectic schedule at work. To fulfill her wishes I made sacrifice just to be with her. Until it was Christmas and something was wrong. Days have passed until New Year, our twenty months relationship was going nowhere. The worst Christmas ever!

We had an argument and it came to the point that she honestly told me that she doesn't feel the same way for me anymore. Of course I asked why and she was blaming me because of my attitude and I haven't done anything for the past few months. She kept on blaming shit about lack of communication, that I have no time for her and whatever reason she had. But I always had time with her. Yes I admit it's not that much of a time but it's because I have work. I can't give my time 24/7 for her if you know what I mean. The thing is, she's the one that changed and dumped me for whatever bullshit and tries to put the blame on me.

Then January, this is the way how you left me. No love, no hope. I'm not even pretending that I'm okay. Some people even thought I wasn't affected of our breakup coz of the way how I reacted. Do you remember the line "It hurts but I never show, this pain you'll never know"? That's just the way I am right now. That's how I feel right now. I know you already have someone coz it wont be that easy for you to move on if there isn't. Go ahead and deny it. Keep on playing and let everyone think that you're such a nice girl that you are. After all that we've been through, you left me with a broken heart. If you only knew the shit I've been through, I almost lost everything because of you. Thanks to some of my friends who had been there for me, I somehow managed to survive. Thank you for almost ruining my life. Nice to know you, GOODBYE.

That's it. Those were my January days. Its not that I'm bitter, I'm just wanna get this shit off my chest before moving on for real. I don't give a fuck if people wanna laugh at me coz I'm being such an emotional guy. It was just some shit I've been through and I wrote it all out. Well, I'm up now, its your loss and it'd suck to be you. I'm moving on so don't worry about me, I'll be fine without you, you'll see.

Kung Hei Fat Choi

This is my first blog for 2011. Actually, there's a reason behind it. Today is the day my new year starts. I hope 2011 will be my happy, lucky, and special year. I had so many ups and downs last 2010 and I'm leaving it all behind.

Some things I've been through are memorable and some are forgettable. I would like to thank my ex-girlfriend for all the good times we had together and I also would like to apologize for the bad times we had together. Well, as you can see we are now even after what happened this past few weeks, especially last Christmas until New Year which I consider the worst ever. That was my love story of 2010.

Professionally, I attempted so many times looking for a new job but I always ended up staying at my current company coz of one main reason. I tried to resign from work last January but I can't coz of that same reason. I was not able to focus on work last January as well coz of some personal reason, and I'll call it my "January Days."

Now its Year of the Rabbit and I'm ready to leave it all behind. I'll just enjoy my life and live it to the fullest. I'll focus on work for now and keep myself busy. I'll study and study and study for the success of my career and of course, I'LL PARTY. GOOD VIBES 2011.

Kung Hei Fat Choi!
