Don't let the ANIMO SPIRIT DIE!!!!
From concerned La Sallians to my fellow La Sallians:
FYI lang para sa mga hindi nakaka-alam, ipinagbabawal na ang pagcheer at paggamit ng drums during timeouts. PROBLEM IS, the stup*d UAAP board is always singleing out DLSU when it comes to violations of this 'rule'.
We pay for our tickets, they have to right to silence us, they have no right to kill the school spirit.
Cheer your hearts out this thursday and during all the remaining games of the archers.

"There is a strong possibility that the Gang Green will be silenced this Thursday. Looks like the sea of CHEERING GREEN that we had hoped for the La Salle gallery will become nothing less than a sea of green silents. It seems DLSU was 'reprimanded' in the UAAP meeting last Friday for cheering during time outs. It seems some authorities have zeroed in on Gang Green for this ‘problem’. Last night, the Gang was told, in no uncertain terms, that if they continued to cheer during time-outs, even though we were across the benches and our cheering was only heard on our side, the Gang would not be allocated any tickets for the DLSU-ADMU game this Thursday!
Well, the Gang tried to comply fearing the loss of tickets for our game with the blues. The Gang went back to doing their ‘silent’ cheering during timeouts to comply but other green blooded La Sallians joined the Gang in cheering but in not so ‘silent’ a manner. They were obviously, not aware of our patented ‘silent cheering’. Yet, the Gang was blamed for them. That’s fine. Blame the Gang if you must. But when UE made their pull away late in the third and in the entire fourth quarters, most, if not all, of the DLSU gallery LOST THEIR VOICES!!! But the Gang could not and WOULD NOT turn their backs on the team. So, even under the threat of NO tickets for Thursday's big game, the Gang continued to cheer the team on practically NON-STOP! Sure we lost but our cheering was so heartening to the team that team manager Hero Yu thanked the Gang Green for their non-stop cheering and encouraged them to continue to do so beause "it lifted the spirits of the players so much specially when we are down”. But by continuing to give this important morale support to the players, the Gang may be permanently SILENCED starting with the La Salle-Ateneo game this Thursday. Well, if the Gang does not get tickets hereon end, I personally feel IT WAS WORTH IT just to cheer on our players when they were down. Even down very badly. The Gang SUPPORTS the team with our cheers regardless of whether we are winning or losing. This is us, true La Sallians. Heck, without the Gang, the Pep Squad will have no one to lead the cheering to. To those who cheer only when the team is up, please, the team needs you more WHEN THEY ARE DOWN!!! Don't be afraid to cheer! We realize that not all can cheer as ardently as the Gang but with our own pendindg 'suspension' or 'expulsion' you all will have to carry on the cheering burden.
Remember, the Gang was there with the team when they were suspended. We even pitched in to give our team uniforms for many of those tournaments. The Gang was there to watch ALL their games (though in smaller and rotating numbers) in the FMC, Fil-Oil, NSL and other tournaments whether it was in the FEU gym, San Beda, Arellano and wherever. The Gang watched those tournaments even before the crowd came out during the playoff and championship games. THE GANG WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR THE TEAM! FOR LA SALLE!!! WE ARE THERE WHEN MANY COULDN'T!!! WE ARE THERE WHEN MANY WOULDN'T!!! And now, we may be silenced forever. All for La Salle!
We understand the position of our Board Reps being new to the UAAP Board. But why is no one fighting for the cheering supporters of our and the other teams? Why kowtow to Mama Goldie and the other Board members, who want the UAAP games to be as silent as a Mozart concert at the CCP and whose idea of cheering is cart wheeeling and dancing at half time! Oh, don’t forget the mandatory PE class attendees of those schools who are ‘forced’ to attend their games and where they are mandatorily told to memorize their cheers and cheer only on cue! No one should pass the blame to ABS-CBN! Don’t pass the blame to the coaches! If I remember right, it was only the acerbic Aric Del Rosario of UST(why am I not surprised?) who once complained about the loud cheering during time outs. I don’t think Franz, Dindo, Norman, Bogs, Manny, Glenn or even Pido would be complaining. Being former players, they know how important crowd support is to their players and would not fault the crowds for it. Does the UAAP Board do? Oh well, that’s the UAAP Board.
So, to all La Sallians, if you hear a defeaning silence during timeouts at La Salle games, that's the type of game the UAAP BOARD wants! Strange, when ADMU fans continued to cheer during time outs and even boooed Mama Goldie when an announcement not to cheer was made by her in one of their games, ADMU was not 'reprimanded.' So, it looks like this Thursday there will be no one to answer their six man battalion. Again, that's the UAAP Board for you."

Ten Things I Hate About Star Trek
10. Noisy doors.
You can't walk three feet in a starship without some door whooshing or screeching at you. My office building has automatic sliding doors. They're dead silent. If those doors went "wheet!" every time a person walked through them, about once a month some guy in accounting would snap and go on a shooting rampage. Sorry Scotty, the IEEE has revoked your membership until you learn to master WD-40
9. The Federation.
This organization creeps me out. A planet-wide government that runs everything, and that has abolished money. A veritable planetary DMV. Oh sure, it looks like a cool place when you're rocketing around in a Federation Starship, but I wonder how the guy driving a Federation dump truck feels about it?
And everyone has to wear those spandex uniforms. Here's an important fact: Most people, you don't want to see them in spandex. You'd pay good money to not have to see them. If money hadn't been abolished, that is. So you're screwed.
8. Reversing the Polarity.
For cripes sake Giordi, stop reversing the polarity of everything! It might work once in a while, but usually it just screws things up. I have it on good authority that the technicians at Starbase 12 HATE that. Every time the Enterprise comes in for its 10,000 hour checkup, they've gotta go through the whole damned ship fixing stuff. "What happened to the toilet in Stateroom 3?" "Well, the plumbing backed up, and Giordi thought he could fix it by reversing the polarity."
Between Scotty's poor lubrication habits and Geordi's damned polarity reversing trick, it's a wonder the Enterprise doesn't just spontaneously explode whenever they put the juice to it.
7. Seatbelts.
Yeah, I know this one is overdone, but you'd think that the first time an explosion caused the guy at the nav station to fly over the captain's head with a good 8 feet of clearance, someone would say, "You know, we might think of inventing some furutistic restraining device to prevent that from happening." So of course, they did make something like that for the second Enterprise (the first one blew up due to poor lubrication), but what was it? A hard plastic thing that's locked over your thighs. Oh, I'll bet THAT feels good in the corners. "Hey look! The leg-bars worked as advertised! There goes Kirk's torso!"
6. No fuses.
Every time there's a power surge on the Enterprise the various stations and consoles explode in a shower of sparks and throw their seatbelt-less operators over Picard's head. If we could get Giordi to stop reversing the polarity for a minute, we could get him to go shopping at the nearest Starship parts store and pick up a few fuses. And while he's shopping, he could stop at an intergalactic IKEA and pick up a few chairs for the bridge personnel. If you're going to put me in front of a fuseless exploding console all day, the least you could do is let me sit down.
5. Rule by committee.
Here's the difference between Star Trek and the best SF show on TV last year:
Star Trek:
Picard: "Arm photon torpedoes!"
Riker: "Captain! Are you sure that's wise?"
Troi: "Captain! I'm picking up conflicting feelings about this! And, it appears that you're a 'fraidy cat."
Wesley: "Captain, I'm just an annoying punk, but I thought I should say something."
Worf: "Captain, can I push the button? This is giving me a big Klingon warrior chubby."
Giordi: "Captain, I think we should reverse the polarity on them first."
Picard: "I'm so confused. I'm going to go to my stateroom and look
pensive."
Firefly:
Captain: "Let's shoot them."
Crewman: "Are you sure that's wise?"
Captain: "Do you know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I'll BEAT YOU WITH until you realize who's in command."
Crewman: "Aye Aye, sir!"
4. A Star Trek quiz:
Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and 'Ensign Gomez' beam down to a planet. Which one isn't coming back?
3. Technobabble.
The other night, I couldn't get my car to start. I solved the problem by reversing the polarity of the car battery, and routing the power through my satellite dish. The resulting subspace plasma caused a rift in the space-time continuum, which created a quantum tunnelling effect that charged the protons in the engine core, thus starting my car. Child's play, really. As a happy side-effect, I also now get the Spice Channel for free.
2. The Holodeck.
I mean, it's cool and all. But do you really believe that people would use it to re-create Sherlock Holmes mysteries and old-west saloons? Come on, we all know what the holodeck would be used for. And we also know what the worst job on the Enterprise would be: Having to squeegie the holodeck clean.
1. The Prime Directive.
How stupid is this? Remember when Marvin the Martian was going to blow up the Earth, because it obstructed his view of Venus? And how Bugs Bunny stopped him by stealing the Illudium Q36 Space Modulator? Well, in the Star Trek universe, Bugs would be doing time. Probably in a room filled with Roseanne lookalikes wearing spandex uniforms, walking through doors going WHEET! all day. It would be heck. At least until the Kaboom. The Earth-shattering Kaboom.

Thriller (Indian GIRLY MAN version)
My parents got scared and thought I was really losing my mind while I was watching this. I was laughing my fucking ass off so hard they thought I was disturbed or something...
Thriller (Filipino inmates version)
Well, you've got to hand it to us Filipinos...we manage to have fun even when we're in jail. This video reminds me of my elementary and high school days when students were required to participate in foundation day celebrations and learn massively choreographed dances. This was made better of course when I got into my senior year at high school where our cheer and dances were included in our military training modules. Two words to describe our cheers: "KILLER MOVES"...hahahahahahahaha!!!

PSP news update (finally, something negative...)
The new "redesigned" PSP seems to good to be true. Alas, there is a flaw after all. Although the system has better looks and also maximizes the processor speed, the downside to it all is the sacrifice in battery life. What used to be 10 hours of usage (optimal conditions) have been cut in half to 5 hours! Forget about your usual PSP hogging time during your non-stop flight from Japan to New York...now, you actually have to sleep part of the way and suffer through bad airplane movies!
Not to fret though, Sony has announced that the PSP slim is STILL compatible with the older generation battery module. The catch is, the old battery is indeed THICK compared to the new system. Sony plans on releasing a modified back plate (or cover...WHO KNOWS???) to augment the possible usage of the old battery and still allow your PSP to look...hmmm...sexy?
Now the question that remains is: "DOES THIS BATTERY MAKE MY PSP LOOK FAT?"

PSP news update (JAPAN STRIKES BACK!!!)
Okaaaaaay...so there's been a lot of news a'buzzing about the release of the new PSP slim (not the official name by the way, it's officially known as the "redesigned PSP") in the USA. Now, dare we ask, "Wait...what about Japan?" Good question! Japan is only like, um, like, the mothership of Sony technology!!! Helloooooo!!! Did we really think all the goodies were exclusive to the folks on the other side of the pacific? HELL NO!!!So what is the "Japan exclusive" PSP slim release? It's a freaking SPECIAL EDITION FINAL FANTASY: CRISIS CORE PSP slim pack!!! Dayum! The pack includes a silver PlayStation Portable adorned with a Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII logo and an image of Zack and Cloud at the back. The PSP included in the Crisis Core bundle will be one of the slim model PSPs. The limited edition PSP unit will also come bundled with an exclusive Buster Sword strap and a copy of the game. To add insult to injury, the UMD game that comes with the pack is encased with special cover art exclusive to this package!!!
The Crisis Core bundle will be in Japanese retail stores on September 13 with a price tag of 25,890 yen (US 212). Only 77,777 of these babies will be produced and, judging by the franchise's popularity, it looks like they'll be selling quite fast.

For iTunes users, I've already included the album artwork in the ID3 tags and if it doesn't show up, please refer to prior post for album cover art.
currently uploading - Paper Walls
Paper Walls is Yellowcard's latest album. Released just this July and it's getting rave reviews from long time fans and newbies alike! If you check them out on iTunes the album currently has a rating of five (out of five) stars and safter listening to the album, I must agree!
It should be up within the hour if nothing untowardly happens to my DSL connection...

PSP news update (yet again)
SCEA has announced that a new "slimmer" PSP was indeed on its way to the American market. They've also announced a whopping $100 price cut on the existing 60Gb PS3. What Sony didn't announce immediately however, was the price cut concerning the 60Gb PS3 was to clear out all remaining units and that the product, in fact, will be effectively phased out just leaving the 80Gb and 30Gb PS3's out there.
On the PSP front, Sony announced that the old PSP will also be phased-out but the weird thing is, there will be no price cuts for the PSP since prices have already dropped prior to the announcement of the new PSP. They, however, will offer the older PSP version in packages that offer great value. Similar to the Daxter bundle for the PSP slim, they will offer a Daxter bundle as well for the old PSP, bundling it with the Daxter game, a 1Gb Memory Stick Duo and a video UMD as well. All this for $199.99 while the core pack will continue to sell in it's previously adjusted $169.99 price range.

Here's the scoop for today:
- Here's the list of the Ten Most Unfortunately Named People in the Internet. (I personally laughed out loud at "Lucious Pusey"!!!)
- Queen Elizabeth is NOT a drama queen!!! (yeah right...)
- The soon to be "best selling console ever!!!) Nintendo Wii to release Wii Fit, an "excergaming" extension. (Anyone for "Super Yoga Mario"???)
- New Carousel to be erected next summer at Manhattan Park. The updated carousel will feature dolphins instead of the traditional horses and will be housed in a glass enclosure with sea creatures being projected. (Good way to turn your kids gay...the only thing missing would be the accompanying tunes of the Little Mermaid or It's Raining Men!!!)
- Children's book author surprised at ridiculous censorship requirements before children's book containing cartoonish portrayals of artisitc nudes in a gallery is released in America. (One word: "STOOOOOOOOPID"!!!)

uploading "Our Love to Admire"...
In just a few the newest album by Interpol should be available here in my site. I like how they stuck to their thing y'know? I still like to mellow out to their tunes. This is what I listento nowadays when it's raining outside and I feel the air just chilling around me. Really cool...definitely cool.
world wide weirdness (WWW)
A new segment that will hopefully cut my daily posts to a handful. Instead of separate posts, I'll leave links to interesting things I found in the world wide web. This is done specifically to give me the option to reroute you instead of posting let's say a NSFW item...which could spell disaster for my page.
- Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado learns not to get drunk on live TV (Big Brother-esque) and end up sleeping with the ugliest guy in the house. (Listen to her moans during the act...hilarious!)
- Ronaldinho goes with the trend of sportsmen showing off thier bulges in public. (Infectious song...I must say.)
- "Used Panties" available in Vending Machines?!?!?! WTF?! (The Japanese prove time and time again how too much technology could be a bad thing...)
- Finally, want to see what happens when a giant and a midget get together? Watch this. (Totally disturbing...again, freaky Japanese...)
Novak Djokovic ever the performer...
Hotness! He can't sing to save his life but who cares?! He has balls! AND at least like any self-respecting sportsman, he actually takes off his shirt when he wins...unlike those PRUDES!!!
PSP news update (more pics!!!)
Apparently the folks at T3 are blessed enough to get a sample of the redesigned PSP before actual production. They have been nice enough to post lots of images online and even fill in some blanks left by Kaz Hirai's announcement yesterday.
New info:
- The infrared port has been removed. (I actually haven't used that port...EVER)
- The WiFi switch is now where the infrared port was before. (at the top near the USB slot)
- You can now charge your PSP via USB connection (GOD! FINALLY...)
- There is no longer a lock mechanism for the UMD slot. Instead of popping open when you hit the switch you now have to manually pull the cover away from the main unit. (Okay...a little scary but I'm sure it isn't as bad as it sounds...) The removal of the locking mechanism was one of the main reasons behind the slimmer design.
- Game loading was improved by allowing game data to be temporarily saved from the UMD, much like how the PS2 and PS3 works. (Remember ejecting a PS2 cd and the game still goes on for a little while longer?)
- The 64Mb memory is not usable, it's there for the "faster loading" gimmick...(sigh...)
- Upon release these PSPs will have the latest firmwares installed and gossip is circulating about an improved motherboard that makes downgrading near impossible.
P.S. Looks like they finally put a latch on the battery cover. Thank goodness! I always had trouble with the slide-y mechanism of the first one!

Katherine McPhee - "Lover Story" video
All I can say is...KATHERINE MCPHEE IS FREAKIN' HOT!!!!
A lot of people may criticize her for the Beyonce-esque video, dancing, and sound but personally, I'd say "you go girl!" teach the world it doesn't take a screen hogging hug-assed diva to do it like that!
Also, I'm afraid that K-Fed is spreading like an infectious disease...is that hime I see in there?

new improved PSP model confirmed!!!
We all know the magic that always happens at Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3) and have come to expect the fireworks that are sure to erupt during the expo.
During Sony's E3 Press Conference, Kaz Hirai, newly appointed SCE president, announced the ongoing development of a new PSP which:
Colors and special promotional packages have been announced for North America and Japan already but still no news for the rest of the world. The only solid information released is that the new PSP will be avialable to North American consumers this coming October.

- 19% thinner
- has a more efficient battery
- has faster loading time for games
- also has the ability to output hi-quality videos (to TV?, monitor?) by pressing the display button (good for playing UMDs on the big screen: both games and video)

F1 scandals galore...
Okay...so Ferrari IS suing a senior at the Williams team for "stealing" sensitive technical information from the team...and said senior member has already been suspended.
Also, Christian Albers has been dropped from the Spyker team due to "financial reasons" and he is contemplating legal action against the team. Meanwhile, Christian Klien is on call for the test drives at Spa although when questioned, he says he isn't Albers' replacement...yet. The list for Albers' possible replacements is indeed long but some of the drivers HAVE shown interest and have been keen to publicly say so.

Harry Potter warning...
So I went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix yesterday...it was such a disappointment. Well, it should be expected, after siting through Transformers all the while grabbing the sides of m seats 'til my knuckles turned white and oohing and ahhing while watching Die Hard 4.0, I kinda knew even while the previews were being screened that this wasn't going to cut it.
For those of you who haven't watched the coolest moview of summer, I really suggest watching Harry Potter first before viewing the other movies. It was such a rip-off...I'll see how much better it is on IMAX. Oh well, if 2D can't hack it, I don't know why the 3D version should be any different.

summer blockbuster extravaganza...
Okay...there's no point in telling you guys how cool Transformers is or how epic Pirates was...and not forgetting to mention how tragic Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Spider-Man 3 were.
I want to talk about the other movies. Okaaaay...Live Free or Die Hard 4.0 might not be exactly one of those "others" but it was just waaaaay to cool. Bruce Willis (my fave daddy figure out there) deals with technology this time and just how pretty can Maggie Q get? Hmmm...not sure on that one.
There's also Shooter featuring Mark Wahlberg and his *ehem* big guns (aka his big bulging biceps) and although I'll confess that it's quite "Bourne Identity-ish", I liked it because he was no uber freak like Bourne. He actually needed a side-kick!!!
I'll spill the beans on the new Harry Potter later on. I have tickets to go see it later and I've bought tickets for Thursday night to get the IMAX experience...we'll see if it's worth the extra dough I shelled out.
After all this action hoopla, I'm looking forward to the conedies and dramas. Hmmm...I can't wait for Chris Pine and Adam Brody to grace the silver screen in their upcoming movies.

the wonders of bureaucracy...
In my quest to spread my wings (and fly, butterfly...YUCK...EEEEWWW...I can't believe I typed that in!) to attempt to leave the nest (aka: my home) and find my own way, a horrendous secret of mine surfaced and is now haunting me BIG TIME! Unbeknownst to most people save my family and closest friends, I was born with an ugly secret...AN UGLY NAME!!!
"Jose Rey Hernandez Sta. Agueda"...I know...EEEEWW TO THE NTH DEGREE!!!
So my parents saw the error of their ways...and...corrected my birth certificate themselves!!! JUST USING CORRECTION FLUID!!! How stuuuuuuuuuupid is that?! So all my legal documents except my birth certificate are addressed to "Joseph Rey Hernandez Sta. Agueda".
So I had to use my right to have my name changed (allowable once in my country) to have everything ironed out. This includes having your new name printed in a newspaper, announcing the change. There's also a public hearing (which I didn't attend) and a looooooong trip to the National Statistics Office in East Avenue. I did everything and I discover that I can only get the new birth certificate on the 25th!!!
I could've just puckered up and used my real name but then I wouldn't be able to apply for a job in SIngapore since the names on my passport and diploma won't match. If I only planned on visiting the country for pleasure...sure, no problem...BUT I'm moving there to work remember???
*sigh* my feet hurt right now...but I'll live...and I'm really thankful for the MRT ride (only the second of my life!!!) for reasons people will never know (wink, wink) HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'll just tell a select few why the MRT rides made up for the harrowing experience...

returning to what I once considered "home"...
It feels nice to actually sit down and type something to update my blog. I honestly missed my seemingly unending fascination with cyberspace and whoring my personal life to anyone who might give a damn.
Truth is, I did a lot of growing up these past few days...my BIG decision acting as a catalyst for the change, the mix ignited by my passion to make it in life, complicated by having to say the right things to the right people, and tempered by recent "unfortunate" and "personal" events. I no longer feel compelled to air my dirty laundry with abandon...but I still plan on keeping my online journl of sorts. Instead of hating everyone and everything I plan to start understanding more stuff more often.
I'm planning on leaving after my sister's birthday on August 13th but it's beginning to look impossible. It's almost like...at the speed I'm going, I'll be out of the country even before July ends. No prolonged goodbyes here nor are there any "despedidas" planned for that matter. It's just going to be me, a HUGE change, and my (what will hopefully be a positive...) reaction to said change.
I fully intend to keep in touch from my little apartment in Singapore and to share my experiences to people "who give a damn"...
