The Answer for my last blogpost is

taken straight out of the reality show "The Pick-Up Artist". Now, back to my exam -_-

opener..

..did you know that 93 % of all women masturbate in the shower while the other 7% sing?

and do you know WHAT they are singing?

Wait is that?

Yessiree, that's me (about 30 seconds in or so) in a Super Street Fighter 4 tournament yesterday. Nabbed 4th place. Yay me!

Oh I'm B ACK!

Recap tomorrow maybe. But for now..

TAE Grand Prix

With good help from mr. Even aka Silver Surfer aka Eazy-E aka Ecstasy aka King of The Mountain, we managed to complete our first TAE Grand Prix (internal joke with the TAE). I'm estimating it to be 15-18 + km of downhill and uphill cycling, Mr. Surfer, you are a beast for letting me follow you. From Stovner to Grorud to Kalbakken to Alna to IKEA Furuset to Grorud again up the hill and back home. Good job!

dreaming of better days

i need to make time go faster so I can get to hawaii. in the meantime, you can find me on the couch with headphones on, sleeping.

oh, and I need a date for She & Him @ John Dee May 4th.

Long one, rant that is.

How to make it in America

- how two dudes try to make it big in the Big Apple

I wasn’t a big fan of the premise in the beginning, I’ll admit that. I kept thinking, that it would be in the same vein as the other ”HBO-show-showing-how-your-ife-would-be-if-it-was-dramatized-and-you-were-highly-successful-in-Hollywood, ”Entourage”. Of course, they, Vince and the gang. already achieved a bit of success. But what about those who are just bubbling under the surface, eager to make a name for themselves?

Here’s where ”How To Make It In America” (or HTMIIA) comes in. I saw the pilot one late night and I think I never looked back after hitting that play button. The show has a distinct taste of 2010 especially with the intro that’s filled with pictures of the life in New York, kind of like those you would find on a decent photoblog. It caters to the cool, the hip who like the simple, but effective fonts and stop-motion sequences. Every scene-transition uses photographic images that are crisp and makes us read cinematography in a new way. We’ve seen this kind of use before, but it’s only now that I actually notice it. Must be the New York scene.

In the show, we have dopey-looking Bryan Greenberg playing the main protagonist, Ben Epstein. A late 20-something graphic artist / designer / ”good at drawing” New Yorker who’ve just failed selling his own line of designed skate decks with his annoying, but optimistic sidekick, Cam Calderon. They have big ideas, but as one character in the show duly notes, they have trouble following through. Instead they try to force their ideas on already successful people and they use their well-connected friend Domingo, played by Kid Cudi to get in touch with them. They’re bound to fail. No business plan, no real funding and no idea how to conduct business.

I’ll just air my two cents here now. The show seems to try to educate or show that making it in America is about having an unique idea and be organized. Leave personal stuff out of it (Ben has problems getting over his ex) and have a financial backer. No money, no production as the boys learn this pretty quick. But we still love an underdog and we root for them. But is it a good show? I wish it was funnier and I wish they’d focus less on Rene (he has some funny bits though.)

But to be fair, the show is enjoyable with girls like Shannyn Sossamon and even a guest appearance by Samaire Armstrong (give this girl a main role please?). But it feels like watching the character ”Turtle” without Vince. A guy who wants to do stuff, but need others to do it for him. I actually want to see more of Kid Cudi. Right now, he’s just the token black guy and he should get more face-time. I don’t really care much for Cam’s cousin Rene and his ”Rasta Monsta” problem.

I’m still hoping the boys make it though. The American Dream still exists, right?

(i'm drunk. i have no capacity to get more pictures. )

urgh. night night from da cph

Due for Work

2 hours until I have to get my butt to work. Warmed up some chicken and rice, can't wait to indulge. Lucky for you guys, I'm at Casa De Alfiler, so I'm testing out this Photobooth thing on their iMac (they hustlin').
Waiting for food.

Passing time with Final Fantasy VIII on the PSP, love that game.

My preferred aperitif for the evening.

Also whilst waiting, dreaming of Hawaii. Got all my papers submitted, yay! Here we go!

Time for food (YAY!) and then work. (NAY!) And wow, formatting is fucked up. I don't feel like fixing it either. Deal with it. :D

Shout-out to Harry, sorry I couldn't make it there tonight.

I should practice more..

I want to play my saxophone like this guy again. Damn, it sounds really nice. In other news, I'm sleepy. Good night!

This woman might be on to something.

I love TED.com nowadays. So many good speeches! Makes me wanna become a spokesperson. This woman, Jane McGonigal talks about gamers and if they can solve real world problems. It's fascinating AND she has STATISTICS to back it up! Worth a look!

She and Him new album out!

Now how to order it? American iTunes and Amazon doesn't work. Kinda annoying really. Guess I'll wait and see.

While we're waiting..

thumbs up for hulahoops <3

Health Reform + Scarface?

Wow, I learned something tonight.


Clever editing, funny and very, very interesting. Watch it! Scarface isn't so badass now. :P

Please give "Pretty" Tony Montana a chance!

[Dumb] Bingo Giant

Here's a new batch! [It'll still say retarded in the address field but bear with me. I love everyone, even you.]




pic1: I kinda miss my long hair. It looked pretty nice that day. :P Fun fact: The restaurant we're sitting in measures like 1.75 m from floor to ceiling. Not meant for tall people like me. Everyone was looking at me like I was the circus freak aka [hunchbacked man]

pic2: The annual Christmas Day bingo! I didn't win shit. But fun anyways!

pic 3: Since I am the [dumb] one of the family I had to wear a safety helmet for New Year's.

Oh and creds goes to my cousin Allen for excellent pictures. I just mooch of other people's skills. Uh yeah.

family ties

Family is blood, but we can be bound by something much stronger as well.



pic1: The bald dude with the LL COOL J lick is ma da' and the madre on the far left is ma 'ma. I am the product of their fornication on one beautiful day in July, 1986. It was the hottest summer of summers.

pic2: Anyways, my closest family is actually a "small" family when it comes to filipino sizes. Or so I am led to believe. But I am the giant. They call me BIG BOI.

sleepless in seatt..umm

two awesome remixes of two awesome movies.



getting high on the beats

I think I fell in love with them again..

I'm talking about SKINS. I keep coming back to this show and it's quirky british characters. They are all truly fucked up, but that's why it is sooo good.

Clip from last week's episode. I laughed all the way to the bank since it was so unexpected.

oh and :



fuck off VG! NPH forever!

Now I remember why I wanted to make movies..

En perle av en kortfilm.

Okay, I have a hobby.

Me in the arcade in the Philippines this x-mas. :) If I could, I'd rather do this the rest of my adolescent life than what I'm doing now. But I'm a realist. :P One can't.
I went to a gaming tournament yesterday and it was maaaad fun. 40++ contestants in a bar way out in Røyken, Drammen, good food and good planning made one hell of a fun tournament.

The japanese are the best. I'm such a nerd that I'm seriously getting hype, waiting to WATCH this tournament. Sick stuff.

This is god-like. Have a wonderful sunday.

Fight Club Wednesday

Had around 8 guys over, just playing street fighter 4 all day. here's a vid of me playing:



ultra fail. i'm a geek. i know. :) LOVE IT UUUUH!

Oh in case you missed it.

Sunday.

Dear AKAM1K3

DEAR MIKE feat. Denise (who's hella embarassed).

Oh!

Just. Can't. Stop.

Been listening to this stuff non-stop. Going to bed after I finish my ugly-ass homepage.

Two people I admire for being who they are.

Both the good and the bad. Good times in front of the tv/stream!


Skii Bo Ski, baby!

Jersey Shore - MTV Shows

"I think we got a Situation right here." THE SITUATION!

Oh wait this is a music blog no?

It's been a while, but I think I'll focus on giving you some music for this post. After all, this IS FRESH MUSICOLOGY.

Here we go:

This korean song was all the rage in the Philippines this Christmas. I learnt the dance by watching little kids do it and this song even made the U.S Billboard 100 charts! First korean artists ever to do so. It sticks to your brain like.. rice.

I didn't say it was a good song. :P But it's addicting.

Another supergroup is the Super Junior-M. Funny thing about this group is that this boyband has one guy that suits every possible demographic out there. They're all "good-looking", there's one who has a questionable sexuality, one for the cougars and even a chubby guy. Love the concept.

If you've made it this far.. This is my favorite video of the day. Cute girls + cute dancing + hot pants = entertaining shiiiiet. I love Korea.

Have a nice week everyone! :D

3 weeks into 2010..

and I'm sick. It sucks, but them's the breaks for having the most AWESOME vay-cay everrrr. I'mma post something longer soooooon, but for now I want everyone who haven't seen this movie to see the korean movie "My Sassy Girl". Such a nice movie (I'm cheesy and a sucker for really good rom-coms nowadays, sue me). Saved my week. It really did.

Frozen.

Lite glad i Norge akkurat nå. Stikker til Filippinene igjen vinter 2010. Jeg tror jeg har blitt en av de nordmennene som bare MÅ vekk fra Norge når kulda setter seg inn. Gleder meg allerede.
