Suddenly, sadness...

Today, I just realized my crush won't be in the same school as me anymore this year. I'm so sad. So, so, so, so, SOOOOOO sad. You're probably thinking I should just tell him, don't you? Well I can't. Why? Because:

1. It will freak him out.
2. He's already with somebody else. 
3. We're not that much friends so, just like no. 1, it will freak him out.
4. I don't think it's worth it.

Why wouldn't it be worth it? Well, it's just a little crush. Who knows, maybe I only like him because of how he looks. Not by how he acts. But he doesn't act much of a jerk anyways. Then again, he's not exactly "nice" either. 

I probably should have posted this on Facebook instead. But that would get people to start suspecting something and start asking questions about my crush. Anyways, I hope I get over this soon. And I really hope I don't start missing him. 

What's going on?

I'll tell you what's going on. Summer is nearing its end and it's back to school next week. I was hoping for summer to last a little longer. You know, another month would be appreciated. 
Anyways, my Windows Live Writer wasn't working recently so I'm writing this directly in the website which I have to admit feels "different". It's a shame really. I was about to write a lot more blogs and I was really getting used to using Windows Live Writer. Sigh...
Other than that, school is just right around the corner (I've mentioned that already, right?). As I said before, I am SO not ready for school yet. I don't know why, but summer changed a lot out of me. I've become a little more shy and more "socially awkward" than last year (I think). I just hope I could get over this by next week.
I don't have anything else to say. But I think I'm the only one who kept their blog updated. I mean, this blog was just a school project everyone in my class had to do. But I think it'll be fun having a blog. If I have the time, I'll probably write again soon. 
So, how do I end this blog entry? 
Um, eat healthy foods, take a bath/shower everyday, stay out of trouble, stay in school, and most importantly....... what was I supposed to write? Nevermind. See ya! 

The internet now

Yes, apparently I do hate the internet. Why? I’ll tell you why. A few years ago, I was happy. I was just playing some online games, not caring about anything else for awhile. I suddenly started to get bored so I went browsing over the web to find something fun.

Hours of browsing later, I come across a site called “9gag”. Judging from the logo that says “9gag, just for fun.”, I thought it would be a fun site. I was right. It was full of fun pictures about all kinds of stuff from cats, to rage comics, to other things. I spent almost my entire day just scrolling down from page to page. But lately, I’m not feeling anything fun anymore.

So the time came where I’ve already seen all the new posts, so I decided to spend some times away from 9gag and go to some other sites. A friend of mine found out about me liking 9gag. Well, let’s just say he’s not exactly happy. He said that (his exact words) 9gag is a disgusting Cancer that you just GOT to cut out. I’ve never realized how one person could have that much hatred over one site. But then he says that everyone in the internet hates 9gag. I didn’t want to believe. But he was right, well partially right. Most of the people on the internet do hate 9gag. And they plot to take down the site itself.

Many people from 4chan, tumblr, reddit and funnyjunk are working together to bring 9gag down. Although they weren’t that successful on the first try, they strike again and get their hopes up that they will be successful.

This. This is why I hate the internet now. Back then, I saw nothing but happiness and fun all over the internet, regardless of which site you come from. But now. Now. All I see now is war. Nothing but war. It was bad enough that there were wars in real life. But now, wars are happening on the internet too.

Who is to blame for all this hatred and flame wars on the internet? 9gag? 4chan? No. All of them. All of those people who supported this so called feud between the sites. It’s all they’re fault. I’m sick of it. I’M SICK OF ALL OF IT!! Usually I just ignore all this. But now. I can’t ignore something this big. I just wish they could just get along. But no, they can’t. Idiots, nothing but idiots.     

What’s up?

Hi! It’s me. Guess what? The school year just ended, but this blog shall continue. That’s right, I’m going to keep this blog updated with whatever unpredictable stuff I can come up with. But right now, I don’t really know what to write right now. So, maybe tomorrow I could write something.

Animations

Activity # 35 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

All over the internet, you see animations. (I’m not going to explain what they are because you should know what they are by now)

Animating takes skill and a lot of time to make. Time in making it depends on how long the animation is. People animate in many different ways. There’s the occasional stick figures.

Most stick figure animations on the internet are basically just stickmen beating each other up (kind of like the one above, only a little faster). Stick figures have been around animations a lot nowadays, mostly because they’re the easiest things to animate. Other people take stick figure animating to a new level. Sometimes they make a plot or stories about them too. Another kind of animations are, well, the Japanese anime.

Many people love watching these animes Japanese people make. I don’t really watch them much. Mostly because it takes a long time to load (on the internet). Some people even make fandoms about them too. Dressing up as they’re favorite anime characters or Cosplay as some people call it. Another type of animation is the CG action movies, my favorite.

Dead Fantasy is a good example of a CG action movie. I think mentioned it on a previous blog entry but anyway, CG action movies look more 3D-ish and take a longer time to make and requires full skill and a team of more than just one animator. Dead Fantasy is just one example to this kind of animations. There are a lot more than you think. And the last one is… well I can’t think of anymore. But there are a lot more animations than the ones mentioned above. Why not Google them and watch?

By the way, I started learning how to animate. It’s a lot harder than you think.

Suicidal Tendencies

Activity # 33 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

Yes, you read the title right. Suicidal Tendencies. A lot of people get that feeling. The feeling when you feel like you just want to end it. I’ll be honest, I get that feeling too once in a while. Oh don’t give me that look. I get sad sometimes. Really really sad. Even my friends can’t do anything to change that.

Why do people suicide? That’s a question people ask a lot. Why do they kill themselves? It really depends on the person. Some people just feel really sad. They want to end their misery by not living anymore. Other people don’t want to live. Mainly because of the terrible lives their living in. Some kids suicide because they get bullied a lot. I get bullied a lot too. Others want to kill themselves because they feel unloved. They feel lonely and sometimes they feel worthless. They don’t know what to do with they’re lives anymore so they just end it.

The cause of suicide is still a mystery to everyone. No one can solve, no one can stop it either. Once someone gets that feeling, there’s no stopping.

I apologize if this blog entry gets you down. But I’m just speaking the truth. People die, whether it’s by their own hand or by somebody else's’.

Games that really needed to be a movie

Activity # 32 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

We all play video games, right? And there comes a time when we come across a really cool game. A game that was so cool, that it needed to have a movie but sadly didn’t have one. So, here are a number of games that (in my opinion) should have a movie.

1. Final Fantasy 13

Final Fantasy 13 is the thirteenth (obviously) installment to the Final Fantasy series. The game had perfect graphics, a fast-paced battle system and a good story. Then what’s wrong with it? Too linear and and too many cutscenes. It was more of an interactive movie than an RPG. Which is why it would have been better if Square Enix turned it into a movie instead.

2. Left 4 Dead

Left 4 Dead is a first person zombie shooting game. Four survivors trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. Just how awesome it would have been if it was a movie. Despite the lack of plot, it would have been still cool if it was.

3. Final Fantasy 6

Yeah, another Final Fantasy. Even though the game was just sprites, the plot and character development seemed like it needed to have a movie. Or, it could be just a CGI kind of movie. I’m just wondering what the characters would look like in 3D.

4. Chrono Trigger

Chrono Trigger is a role-playing game about a group of protagonists from different time periods working together to fight an alien-like monster that could control time. The game seriously need to be a movie. It had to be CGI because the characters would look so much better that way.

There are other games that would have been cool if it was a movie. But I can’t think of anymore. Also I’m tired.

Dead Fantasy

Activity # 31 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

Dead Fantasy is a fan-made CG action movie series made by Monty Oum. The series is mostly about a group of characters beating the crap out of each other. So far the characters are split up into two Teams:

1. Team Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts Combatants

-Yuna (FF10/FF10-2), Rikku (FF10/FF10-2), Tifa Lockhart (FF7), Rinoa Heartilly (FF8), Kairi (KH), Cloud Strife (FF7) and Vincent (FF7)

2. Team Dead or Alive/Ninja Gaiden Combatants

-Kasumi (DoA), Ayane (DoA), Hitomi (DoA), Rachel (NG), Helena (DoA), Hayate (DoA), Ryu (NG) and Momiji (NG)

Kasumi Alpha (DoA) clones appear in Dead Fantasy 4 but they don’t fight for either team.

I have to be honest, the fights between the two teams seem a little biased. I mean, if you watched the movies you would notice that Team DoA/NG won most of the fights. They were a lot more brutal than the opposing team. Not only that, they had an army of ninjas by their side (yes, it was completely unfair). If you’re a fan of Final Fantasy, take caution while watching. Because they get beat up a lot in the series. Especially Tifa. Out of all the characters, she got the most hits (and she also gave the most hits). But despite that, she still kept fighting.

Dead Fantasy currently has 5 movies. Sad to say Dead Fantasy 6 isn’t out yet. And I don’t think it won’t be coming out anytime soon.

Anyways, here are some pictures about the series.

 

Free Topic

Activity # 30 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

From what you can read from the title, this is a free topic. Which means I get to choose what I get to talk about in this blog entry. Yay!

Now, what should I talk about?

*Thinking*

*Still thinking*

Well, I complain a lot at school. So I guess I should complain about stuff here instead of talking and wasting my voice.

I hate vegetables! I know I sound childish but I just do! I don’t know why I don’t like the taste. Maybe there’s something wrong with my tongue, or is my tongue just underdeveloped? It’s so hot! I hate summer! Well, I don’t hate summer vacation, but why does it have to happen when it’s so hot. I hate it! Why is school so hard? They’re giving us a ton of projects to do in so little time. Well, actually they gave it to us a long time ago, and I just procrastinated. But I still hate it! My Flash Drive isn’t getting detected by the computer! No matter how many times I insert and eject it, it still won’t get detected. And I have a lot of important things in it! Like games and other fun stuff! Did I mention it’s still hot here? I think I’m going to pass out at this rate. I still have a lot more projects to do! Exams are almost here and my parents are pressuring me to do good because if I don’t I won’t be able to have my vacation. I need to study, but I still have other projects to do! I hate this so much!

Okay, that’s all of the complaints I have. I’ll complain more in another blog entry. But that’s it for today.

Gadgets

Activity # 29 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

Gadgets. Yeah, gadgets. They are everywhere. In our homes, in our schools and in some other places too. Gadgets help us all out in there own ways. Most gadgets only have one particular function, others have more than one. The Cellphone is a common type of gadget that we use.

They function as a portable telephone and can sometimes take pictures and/or record videos and other things too. The cellphone changes and becomes more different throughout the years.

Another common gadget that we use is the PSP.

Okay, so maybe it’s not that common. But kids of today are just dying to have one. A PSP (PlayStationPortable), like the name implies, is a portable Playstation. A PSP is a gadget that has games that you can play. Sometimes it can even store songs or videos or pictures. Sometimes you can even use the internet with it too. I have a PSP too, just so you’d know.

Another common gadget that we have is the Television.

The television is a gadget that we use to watch shows or other things that entertain us. It can also be used to play Xbox or Playstations or Nintendo stuff and other things.

There are a lot more gadgets that are everywhere that help us in our daily lives.

Favorite Cartoon Character

Activity # 28 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

I’ll be honest, I don’t watch many cartoons anymore. I guess I kind of grew up. But my Favorite Cartoon Character would have to be Pikachu.

What? Were you expecting someone else?

I’m sure everyone’s heard of him. Pikachu is one of Ash’s first Pokémon. He looks like this:

 

Pikachu is an Electric-type Pokémon that has the ability to release electric discharges at will. He’s the only Pokémon Ash kept throughout the entire series and is the only Pokémon he has who (for some reason) doesn’t evolve. I don’t know why Ash never evolved his Pikachu. It’s a mystery I kept wondering to myself throughout my childhood.

Pikachu is one of the best Pokémon Ash ever had, mainly because Pikachu was the first. It’s kind of sad though that all of the other Pokémon Ash had were given away. I’m just glad he kept Pikachu around. Even though Pikachu’s almost completely useless when it came to battling Rock-type Pokémon, Ash still kept him around most of the time. Pikachu never stays inside his poke ball and I can’t say I blame him. After all, could you imagine being stuck inside those things? It must be so cramped inside them.

Facebook or Google+?

Activity # 27 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

Which would you prefer? Facebook or Google+? (That’s another rhetorical question by the way, don’t answer it.)

I’d have to choose Facebook over Google+. Mainly because I’ve never even used Google+ before. Wait here, I’ll search what it is.

*Goes to Google to search what Google+ is*

Okay, according to Google, Google+ is a social network. Composed of stuff like circles and all that crap I don’t know. BUT, according to some other parts of the internet, Google+ is one of the biggest fails in internet history. Why? Well, only a few people even use it. That’s pretty much it.

Google+ is a product (or project) that Google has made to attempt to make a social network just as good as Facebook. But apparently, they failed to do that. I don’t know if they’re aware of it, but they failed to do so. At least, that’s what some other internet people say about Google+.

I don’t really know much about Google+ so I’m going to go use it after making this blog entry. But I would probably still use Facebook instead. Because I don’t think my Facebook Friends would want to make a google account just to use Google+.

My Best friend

Activity # 26 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

“Everyone has a best friend.” is a statement that is completely and sadly wrong. Not everyone has a best friend. Believe it or not, I don’t have a best friend either. Best friends are usually honest with you, they would never do anything to hurt you and would be by your side through thick or thin. I’ve never met anyone like that. I only have friends. Not a single best friend.

Well, I used to have a best friend. We get into arguments a lot. He would hurt me from time to time, physically and emotionally. He sometimes called me names that was really hurtful. And we almost never got along because of the differences we both had. Sad to say that he’s just a friend now, no different from all my other friends.

There’s a chance he’s probably reading this right now. I don’t want to say bad things about him because he might get angry at me or hate me even more.

Don’t feel sorry for me for not having a best friend. I’m okay with it. A lot of people could live a long and happy life without a best friend. Well, it would be happier if you had a best friend, but I’m not encouraging you to not have one. But life is happy, with or without a best friend.

I really want to talk more about the topic, but I might reveal some personal things that I wouldn’t want the internet to know.

P-Noy

Activity # 25 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

For some of you who don’t know who P-Noy is:

Benigno Aquino III or sometimes referred as Noynoy Aquino or just P-Noy is the current President of the Philippines.

I was born in the Philippines by the way. And that’s why I’m talking about him, although I don’t really know much to talk about him. I mean, he’s the president. Some people usually have a lot to say about the president but like I said in my previous blog entry, I don’t really pay attention to politician things. So, what else do I talk about him?

Well, he’s a great president, I think. He does a lot of good things that help out the country, I think. I don’t really know since I didn’t learn a lot of things about him. Well I did, but I forgot.

Anyways, this blog entry needs to have at least 200 (two hundred words) and I am almost there. I just need to talk a little more. Anyways, President Ninoy Aquino is a good president (according to other people) and I really hope he doesn’t do anything bad. So, that’s all I wanted to talk about. I hope I won’t have to do anything like this again.    

Impeachment Trial 2012

Activity # 24 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

First of all, I don’t really listen to that politician mumbo jumbo crap that’s on TV. It’s too boring and there are a lot of things that aren’t making sense to me.

Okay then, let’s just start off with what I do know. There’s an impeachment trial going on this 2012, obviously. I don’t really know who’s it for, and I don’t really care. Wait, just let me Google it for a second.

*A few minutes later*

Okay, it looks like the Impeachment Trial’s for some guy named Chief Justice Renato Corona or something like that. I’ve never really heard his full name, I just know his last name. I might sound stupid saying this but a few weeks ago, I thought Corona was a place. Wow, I am really stupid. So anyways, I don’t know why he’s getting impeached though (I don’t know a lot of things oaky). But I’m guessing he’s getting impeached because he did something wrong, or something. I’ll Google it again.

*Another few minutes later*

Okay, I’m back. It looks like he’s charged with Graft and Corruption and betrayal of public trust. Wow, what a scumbag this guy is. I’m glad I Googled it. I hope he gets what he deserves.  

Climate Change

Activity # 23 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

Climate Change, it’s a problem to everyone in the world. Climate Change is the thing that happens when the climate changes (whether it’s hot or cold). There are many causes of Climate Change, but I only know one. Pollution. Yes, pollution. What, did you really think throwing garbage everywhere or smoking was going to harm nobody? If you do, then you must be really stupid (or just young).

Climate Change is a danger to everyone. In some places, if the weather gets too hot, people could die. In some other places, if the weather gets too cold, people could still die. I know, everyone dies eventually anyway. How you die is up to you, but I don’t think you would want to die due to Climate Change.

So, if you want my opinion, let’s make a world a better place by not polluting. I mean, just because Climate Change isn’t hurting you, that doesn’t mean it’s not hurting anyone else.

Now, take a good look at what’s happening all over the world. There’s Climate Change right? Extreme temperature and all that Scientific stuff are going all over the news. If this keeps up, the cold parts of the world will melt, and the hot places will burn up, killing everyone in that region.

PS: If you didn’t understand anything I just mentioned above, then I suggest you watch the movie “The Day After Tomorrow”.

iPhone or Galaxy Tab?

Activity # 22 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

Which is better? The iPhone or the Galaxy Tab? (That’s a rhetorical question. I’m going to answer it, not you.) If I’d had to pick from one of these two, I’d have to go with the iPhone. Why the iPhone you ask? Because it’s awesome! It’s like a regular phone but with a touch screen and all that other awesomeness it has. And besides, I don’t even know what a Galaxy Tab is? Hmmmm… I wonder.

*Goes to Google to search for the Galaxy Tab*

*click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click*

*Goes back to windows live writer and continues blog entry*

Well, according to the internet, the Galaxy Tab looks kind of like the iPhone. I guess Samsung made it or something like that. I haven’t even used it yet so I don’t really know which is better. But I’m going to have to go with the iPhone.

I don’t really know what else to write, but according to my teacher, I have to write at least 200 words for every blog entry (I just broke the 4th wall again, I think). But it looks like I already reached 200 words. So anyways, buy the iPhone! Or the Galaxy Tab. It’s your choice. (Pssst! Pick the iPhone!)

Cars

Activity # 21 (James Rodeo B. Ty)
Cars. Yes, cars. You know, those things grown-up people ride on everyday. And now I have to talk about them because my teacher told me so. (Did I just break the 4th wall?)
Anyways, what are cars? Like I said above, cars are a type of automobile that takes one person, or a group of people from one place to another. There are a lot of different kinds of cars. There’s, um, the red one, the blue one, and the silver one! (Just kidding, but seriously, I don’t know what are the different kinds of cars)
Cars aren’t really my favorite kind of thing. Although it’s better to ride a car than walk. But cars have their pros and cons.
Pros:
1. You don’t have to get tired of walking.
2. You’re protected from rain.
3. Even if your car isn’t working, you get to sit down.
Cons:
1. They pollute the air.
2. Cars take up a lot of space, so traffic would be everywhere.
3. It’s easier to learn how to walk than to learn how to drive a car.
4. Learning how to drive may cause some problems or accidents.
5. Running over someone with a car hurts a lot more than running on top of someone.
Cars are both helpful and cause problems at the same time. Which is why I’m glad I don’t drive one.

All-Time Fave Movie

Activity # 20 (James Rodeo B. Ty)
What’s my favorite movie? Well, to be honest, I haven’t really watched much movies recently. The last time I watched in the theater was about a year ago (I think).
The movie was Kung Fu Panda (I think, or was it Up? I don’t remember) and I have to be honest, I really loved the movie. I mean sure, the movie looks like its for children but it was still cool. I really liked it. (Warning: This blog entry may contain spoilers.) The movie was both funny, epic and kind of sad at some parts too. Especially the part where you found out Po was adopted. Then again, I found that out already at the prequel. I almost cried when I got to the part where he thought his parents died. Really really sad… But because he’s the main character, he got over his sad past and moved forward. And he won the fight against the bad guy, yay! But what’s this? The movie’s not over yet? *gasp* Just as soon as he got home, his parents turned out to be alive! *gasp* Well, his dad anyways. And he’s not the only one, behind him was a group of other pandas. So they didn’t die after all. Yay! I just love cliffhangers! (sarcasm) (Spoilers end here.)
I watched a lot of other movies. Oh wait, that was a television show. Not a movie, never mind…. 

My Dream Pet

Activity # 19 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

What’s my Dream Pet? Okay, first of all, I don’t really get what “Dream Pet” means. Is it the pet of your dreams or is it the pet that you dream about at night? I think they both mean the same thing, so let’s just forget about that.

A lot of people like to have a pet that’s a cat or a dog or something close to that. I can’t really pick between animals. I like them all equally, well, not really. I guess I’m going to have to pick a tiger. Why a tiger? I don’t know if I’m the only but I think they’re cute. Well, if you get past the fact they might eat you or slaughter you or anything like it, they could make great pets. They have really soft fur that would make a great blanket (I’m not saying I’m going to shear his fur or anything). If you train them really well, they could let you ride on top of them. They’re perfect for protection too. If you’re getting picked on at school, you’re tiger could come in and come to the rescue.

Obviously my parents won’t allow me to keep a tiger in the house. But I hope someday they would change they’re mind and let me keep one.

My Favorite PC Game

Activity # 18 (James Rodeo B. Ty)
My favorite PC Game, wow. Where do I begin with this? To be honest, I actually have more than one. But let’s just start with the ones I’ve played recently.
My recent favorite is Final Fantasy 6. The first time I played it was a few years ago. It’s a classic that people rarely play nowadays. The game’s graphics isn’t really the best. But I don’t play it for the graphics, I play it for the fun. And the plot too. The game’s plot was about a resistance called “Returners” and some other people fight against the evil Empire. But as you continue to play the game, you start to slowly realize that the villain isn’t the Empire. It was actually this crazy guy named Kefka. I don’t want to spoil the game so you’re just going to have to play it yourself. Another thing that made me like the game was the characters. The game had like 12 playable characters. It was a really colorful cast. You start out with a female sorceress (or whatever you want to call it) and then she meets up with a treasure hunter/thief who turns out to be friends with a womanizing king who is related to some muscular brawler who gets lost and meets an assassin who has a troubling past. And so on and so forth, the characters were really enjoyable and had different personalities.
Another PC game that I like is Chrono Trigger. It’s an RPG just like Final Fantasy. The story was mainly about a group of people from different time periods who work together to defeat an alien-like monster. It was really fun to play and I suggest that you play it too. At first, I thought the game was just going to be one of those boring run-around-and-kill-all-the-bad-guys kind of game. But it was different. I’m not going to spoil anything here either so you’re just going to have to play it to find out what I mean. Other than that, you could time travel too! Wow! Time travel! That’s so cool!
One last game that I liked to play was Tales of Phantasia. In my opinion, it was one the best that I’ve ever played. It was an RPG too but the battle system was WAY different from the 3 above. Unlike Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger, instead of just standing idly in one place waiting to be given commands, this time you play in such a different way. I don’t really know how to describe it, you’re just going to have to play it yourself to find out.
I have so much more to add, but unfortunately, I’m only allowed to talk about my Favorite PC games. So maybe next time, I’ll talk about my favorite Xbox game (yes I have one) or my favorite PSP game (I have one of that too).

Computer Class

Activity #17 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

Computer happens to be one of my favorite subjects in school. Although I did terrible last quarter because I couldn’t submit my final project, it’s still my favorite subject nonetheless. Some people don’t like it. I actually do. Why do I like it? First of all, it doesn’t require much work. Well, it does, but not any physical strenuous kind of work. All it needs is a computer, and some thinking and some time too. Second, the class is mostly quiet, which I like a lot. I’m not really into those classes that are noisy and loud. It’s hard to concentrate that way. Although I like music in the background, people singing right behind me is okay too, but it doesn’t help me in my work. Third, I like using computers. That’s pretty much it.

Sometimes I don’t like the computer class. The only thing that makes me not like it is the fact that sometimes you need to do your work at home. So I kind of rush to finish things at school. I like doing blogs at school. It’s quieter there than at home. I’d rather listen to Adele singing than listen to my little sister watching “Carebears” over and over and over again. It’s just way easier when it’s quiet, or at least not listening to something distracting.

Computer class to me is the best. But that’s just my opinion. Well, that’s all for this blog entry.

PS: How do you like the new Magic 8 Ball?

PPS: Can you think of any other way to make blogs more interactive?

PPPS: It would help if you gave the link.  

My Favorite Food

Activity #16 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

What is my Favorite Food? Wow, what a topic. Where should I begin with it? Okay, first of all, I can’t really decide which is my favorite food. In my opinion, it should be more like, which food do I hate the least.

So anyways, I’ll just get straight to the point. I LOVE McDonald’s! I mean, sure, the food there is processed and have a lot of artificial preservatives or something, but I can’t help but love their food. I love their fries, I love their burgers, their fried chicken, pretty much everything they have. Except for their vegetables. I just hate vegetables. I know it sounds immature, but if you’ve already noticed my background image, I think you should have seen this coming.

McDonald’s fast food isn’t the only thing that I like. I kind of like mashed potato. Not the ones you make at home, the ones you find at KFC or the ones you find at the school cafeteria. But I think I only liked it because of the gravy. Come to think of it, I like dipping things in gravy. I like dipping fries and burgers in them. It just tastes so much better with them.

As much as I love McDonald’s, my parents don’t allow me to eat too much of their food. I think it was because that it wasn’t healthy for me if I did. I know they’re right, but I just can’t help but wish that they weren’t.

My Favorite Sport

Activity #15 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

Okay, I have to be honest here, I don’t really have a favorite sport. Why? Because, I don’t really play sports that much. My body is not just used to doing physical activities for a long period of time. But I like some sports.

I like to swim. I don’t know if it’s considered a sport but it’s a physical activity. When I was little, I loved to swim. But as I grew up I began to like it less. I became more insecure about myself and, well, I get cold a lot so…

I play badminton. Or, I used to play badminton. I used to be so good. But I think I still am. The last time I played was, I don’t know, 2 years ago I think. Some of my classmates from STI said that I could be good. COULD be good. I haven’t played it ever since.

I think I like volleyball. It looks fun to play and I am willing to learn how to play it more. But I never did learn. I wish I could play better with it. But I screw up with the service and all that.

And last, but definitely the least (to me), Basketball. Oh, basketball, where do I begin with it? Okay, first, I hate basketball. Sorry, I just do. More than any other sport. Why? Because, it required multitasking, which I’m not very good at. What do I mean by multitasking? Well, basketball required running, dribbling, and keeping alert. See? And besides, I am terrible at all three of those things. So basketball, not my favorite.

Sports aren’t really my thing, so don’t be surprised if I’m not good. But I hope I find a sport I am good at. Or at least, a sport I’m not terrible at. 

LOVE…

Activity #14 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

What is love? Love? Love is an emotion, a feeling every living thing experiences. How does one experience this? Well, that is a mystery. Love can be defined in many ways. It depends on the living thing that feels it.

They say only human beings can feel this emotion. I don’t believe that. I believe anything that lives, can feel. And anything that can feel, can be loved or can show love.

I still haven’t answered the question. What is love? Like I said, love is defined in many ways. To some, love is just an emotion. To others, love is an incredible, awesome feeling that people can experience. Me? Well, I can’t really define love. Love is something that can’t be just explained through words. Sometimes you have to show it through actions.

Examples of love you ask? Okay… So let’s say there’s a mother and her child. The mother cares for her child through day and night. No matter what is happening, she always puts the child’s needs before hers. Although the child doesn’t do exactly the same, he cares for his mother and always stays with her. That is love. Another one? A teenage boy rescued a dog from the pound. Ever since then, the dog and the boy have been through many things together. Life, obstacles, hardships… But no matter what, they stay together. The dog stays by loyally with his master and the boy takes care of the dog. The dog does the same and aids the boy all the same. This is another kind of love. You want more?

This one is long. A young girl was lost in the forest. As night came, she started to get sad, lonely and cold. She found shelter in a cave and hid there. She fell asleep and was awoken by the sound of footsteps. In front of her was wolf. Although she was scared, she tried to remain calm because she knew, panicking will only make the situation worse. The girl stayed in the corner while the wolf just stared at her. The wolf got closer and hugged the girl. The wolf’s fur was warm and kept them both warm. They both fell asleep. The next day, the girl and the wolf left the cave. The wolf started howling and lead the girl to the road. She was then taken back home by a passing by car. She never wouldn’t have left the forest alive if it wasn’t for the wolf. The girl took the wolf home and took care of him. Many questioned her for keeping a wild animal as a pet. She didn’t care. The wolf saved her life, and she was to do the same and care for the wolf. This was another kind of love.

I know the stories were long, I apologize for that. But that’s how love is. It’s not supposed to be something short. It lasts for a long time. Me? I ‘m already loved. My parents, my siblings, and some of my friends too. Thank you for reading.  

SUMMER 2012

Activity #13 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

Back when I was young, I really looked forward to have summer. Not much changed when I got older, I still want summer, and sometimes I want it to start sooner. We visit a different place every summer. Last summer we went to Cebu. The summer before that, we went to Palawan. And we went to Bohol the summer before that. I don’t remember anything before that.

I look forward to summer this year. Especially because I want to leave school. But, for some reason you might not understand, I don’t want to. Well, I want to, but I don’t want to leave my classmates. I may not be friends with a lot of them, but even though we’re not friends, I know I’ll still miss having them around me. They made my day less boring. So I’m really going to miss them this summer.

My family hasn’t planned out for this summer. They told me that we might go to back to Cebu this year. I’m not complaining or anything, but I’d rather be at home. During summer, I don’t really do much. I just stay at home and use the computer. But since I have friends now, maybe I’ll have the guts to ask them to hang out, or they invite me to do something with them. That’s not usually the case since I doubt anyone will remember me this summer.

Like I said, I usually spend the summer at home, using the computer. But I don’t just use the internet. Sometimes I write stories and do other hobbies. I don’t really look forward to swimming at the beach. I hate salty water. But I don’t mind swimming at the pool.

As you can see, my summer really isn’t something you can look forward too. But I do. My summer isn’t much, and we all only get one every year. So make the best out of it.

My Dream

Activity #12 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

 

A dream is something that you achieve. Once you do, it makes you feel important, successful and good. Dreams are something that you work hard for and not something you can just get right away. You have to earn it.

I have a dream. Or at least, I think I had one. When I was young, I had a lot of dreams. One of them was being the first boy to travel in space. But then I lost interest in that. After that, I lost sight of my dream. Up until now, I still don’t know where I want to go with life. They say that we just go to school to prepare us for what’s waiting for us outside. Outside, our dream is there; waiting for us to achieve it. Now, I just go through school, not caring for my dream. I don’t even think I have anything I can dream about when I’m finished with school. But recently, I’ve been doing a hobby that could be a dream one day. Most people dream of becoming famous or rich in some way. Me? I dream for something else.

I started to make comics back then. They were just simple stick figures, but with personality that of other people. I made them just for fun. So I made a website (mini-website) where I could post them and everyone could see. At first, it didn’t get that much attention. But it started to get more and more attention and soon, a bigger audience appeared and wanted more. Of course, I stopped because for personal reasons. So becoming a webcomic artist wasn’t a dream for me.

So I began doing a new hobby. Writing. At first, I just wrote a story and uploaded it to get some feedback. But it didn’t just get feedback, it got attention. And I got more and more as each new chapter I made. This could be a dream that I could strive for. But then, I began to lose interest in it too. My stories were just another way to mirror my life in the form of words. And lately, life isn’t as much interesting as it was back then.

So here is my last hobby. Animating. I just began doing it last year. The internet taught me how. I finished my first animation of a stick figure dancing. It was nice, I guess. I wanted to do more, but I didn’t have the time to do it. Maybe, when I’m older, or in the summer, I could find the time into making more than just a simple animation.

We all have our dreams, and I just shared the three possible ones that I could have. But I realized, the world is full of possibilities and dreams that I could achieve. For now, this is all I could tell. But what about you? What’s your dream?
