Yeah this is an odd one, but for some reason, I’ve been humming this on and off for the last few days. Probably ’cause my buddy Jose mentioned it when I spoke to him last. I grew up watching subbed versions of this, and I damn near went into full trauma when I saw the English dubs. I still love this cartoon, and would only watch this in its original Japanese form, nothing more.
I’m shocked. Bewildered and shocked. The first 8-division world champion, arguably one of boxing’s greatest, was put to sleep last night.
As a Filipino, it becomes a holiday when a Pacquiao fight comes around. We all gather at someone’s apartment or house or wherever and we feast until the main bout comes by. We sit there watching intently, screaming and shrieking and clapping and punching while our guy is winning.
Such is the case of the night of December 8th, 2012. While it technically was December 9th on the east coast, I’ll try not to confuse anyone.
Pacquiao was winning. Undoubtedly. He knocked down Marquez and put a beat down on him. According to his corner guy, however, Manny was straying away from the plan. I have a feeling Manny was right to stray away from the plan. But when he didn’t, boom. Lights out.
Manny was in the midst of flurries and just pounding an injured Marquez (broken nose, trouble breathing) that entire 6th round. He picked up the pace and went in for a kill shot last second. Too bad he was on the receiving end of that killshot. In a last ditch effort, Marquez tried to throw his signature right. The thunderous shot nailed Pacquiao. Next thing you know, we’re all gasping and silent, watching Jinkee Pacquiao rushing to the ring in tears.
How could this have happened to our main man? Why didn’t Pacman just back out? Why did he have to fight Marquez a fourth time? He won 2 out of 3 anyway!
I expect a fifth fight. Pacquiao can’t let this be his last.
Yeah, I don’t know why, but this is the epitomy of earworm for me. It has been stuck in my head on and off some time now.
A smooth and relaxing song for you guys.
The soft guitar and clapping really make me feel happy. The song’s music video is trippy, honestly. Out of focus shots, slow movements…
Enjoy the song!
With all this ‘Gangnam Style‘ craze, it brought me back some years ago, when a friend of mine got obsessed with this one k-pop group called S.E.S . I don’t understand the language, but it had a nice beat to it, and, the girls looked mighty attractive, which is why my friend was obsessed with them. In any case, this is the one song that I could stand to listen.
YouTube seems to have taken a major step in pushing subscriptions. When you subscribe to a YouTuber, their new videos get sent automatically to your subscription inbox. You primarily see the videos they upload.
You’ve always been able to do this. YouTube has always been about the user and the subscriber, sharing videos, ultimately in a way that you get to watch things that you want to watch without having to try.
Usually, YouTube does a great job with their subscriptions, albeit there are some discrepancies. Sometimes the videos don’t get pushed to your subscription inbox.
What has YouTube done that makes me want to spark this discussion? They’ve changed their entire layout. They’ve introduced something called the guide, where they are heavily pushing your subscriptions to avoid these discrepancies.
I personally like this guide concept. The new minimalist approach to YouTube is stellar. I love the way it looks (on different computers, it may look different. On my Google Chrome on my Windows 7, it looks beautiful. It happens to look horrendous on Google Chrome on my Linux Ubuntu 11.) and is definitely a good improvement.
I really do wish, however, that they implemented the use of themes. Maybe a dark theme, because there is so much white space, and that looks terrible on HD monitors.
What do you guys think? Let us know how you feel about the new YouTube layout in the comment section!
Probably the most polite “fuck you” video out there. Enjoy the voice on Jason Lancaster. It’s beautiful
I cannot come up with anything today. It’s just a weird day of sorts. Back to normal tomorrow…maybe.
For now, enjoy this photo of bacon….

The Beast
Dubbed the ‘Wildebeest’ by it’s owner, this Mini forced induced monster is indeed a beast. It’s not only turbo charged, but supercharged as well. The matte green wrapped mini copper churns out upwards of 350+ BHP. A lot of custom work was done through out the car to accomadate the power, and is the epitomy of a ‘pocket rocket’

I bet that barely anyone knows that the state of the internet is being put in jeopardy today.
It’s just speculations, but the fact that they are trying to regulate something that is supposed to be worldwide is baffling. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
“A closed-door meeting of the world’s governments is starting today. The future of the internet is on the agenda. Some governments want to use this meeting of the International Telecommunication Union to increase censorship and regulate the Internet,” Vint Cerf, Google
DON’T REGULATE WHAT IS OPEN TO THE WORLD!
