Back Again

It's been quite some time since I last used this site.  I can't believe I've been gone for so long that it's been more than a month since I last posted.  And I can't believe how fast time goes, and how slow life is.  It's just 3 weeks till my graduation day.  And I've still got a lot to learn.  I already have Moby-Dick as part of my new literature. I need to catch up on my classics or else the contemporary era litt will be stuck on my mind.  That's just how it goes when you're studying different topics at the same time.  Literature and Science are the most interesting topics for me as of now because of how vast they truly are.  For science, it seems that I've got a lot more to learn in astronomy.  There's also the laws of astral physics, which are slightly different from normal physics, besides from the fact that it's on earth.  Thanks to our English teacher, Litt has become more interesting a subject, and yes, Literature's shortcut is Litt.  

My life seems to be going well now.  It's moving slow, but it's well.  I have no qualms, but I do have high ambitions.  My standards are too extreme even for my own.  That's why I use more of my luck rather than my skill when I want to achieve something.  It's because luck factors more for me than the actual skill I have.  Even though I have enough skill to do what everyone can do, I don't have enough of it to become the best.  That is where I am lacking, so I make up for it with my luck.  In fact, my luck can even be considered a superpower because of the situation that my luck suddenly kicks in.  And it usually happens during the most important events when I need it.  But as my graduation comes,  I may need all my luck, skill, and focus to graduate with honors.  I feel my dark side coming closer.  I'm only doing small stuff now, but later I know I'll do large stuff.  I need to control my emotions and not let other people dictate it for me.

I need to make a review of a video game.  I'll find an old video game that's considered a classic and make a review out of it.  If I make a good review, the game deserves to be on the hit list of best video games of all time.  It would help other people decide what game to buy and how to play it.  It could teach people on the difference of a good game, a great game, and a popular game.

Trolling with the Troll Hunters

     Internet trolling.  It's a very popular thing to do nowadays.  It's actually a wonder why it isn't a sport yet.  Must be because of the fact that there aren't enough professionals in this art.  Besides from the art of internet trolling, there is also another art.  This one was AGAINST the art of trolling.  It usually required ex-trollers who  had a change of heart after seeing those who were affected by their troll posts.  But this is also to take revenge against the new trollers who believe that they rule the net now.  These Anti-Trolling Society are known as the TROLL HUNTERS!!

     Haven't really met one in real life though...

     Sucks to be me yet again.  Anyway, I've learned a lot about troll hunters.  To hunt trolls, they do the following steps:

1.   Show the bait

2.   Allow troll to troll

3.   Insult troll

4.   Catch troll

So yeah... Basically Troll Hunters are also trolls... Ok, I think that's a fail for me... Oh well, I made it this far, better keep it.

Stories and Tales

     I don't know how to indent in Blogger.  I just press the space bar 5 times as if making an indent.  But I think that that just sucks.  It seems very barbaric and stoic if one does it that way.  Now try imagining saying those words in an Australian accent.  Amazing isn't it?
     Damn, I just pressed the tab bar again.  I know, this blog isn't instant like Twitter, but hey, I can make stuff I write here longer and with much more sense because there is no need to "read between the lines".  Anyway, I think that I should start a new blog.  I feel like creating stories with a varying theme each week.  It seems interesting and fun to create different stories that are short but sweet.  Meh, I'll think about it.  Anyway, my life seems like a fun thing.  First, I feel like being more daring and failing some more tests.  I already failed one test on purpose(it's easy to get back from that though) so I'm thinking of failing another, YET STILL stay in the honors.  That would prove how amazing I am and my true skills.  Second, I am a respected person.  People don't talk behind my back (weird, considering the type of person I am).  And then there's the fact that whenever people see me, they would at least know me(not by reputation all the time though) and it's quite amazing how people still remember my old nick.
     Well, now about my day.  Well, more of a month since I haven't been able to post for a whole month.  Sucks to be me.  Nothing really happened except for a bunch of random tournaments in chess (in which I never won the prize money) and competitions.  What's awesome though is how my section continues to be the top section.  It's like grade school all over again.  I think that the relationships built in my section made it just the way it is.  We became stronger because of the many different hardships that we had to overcome.  But the mostest weirdest amazingest thing is that, I'm only one of the 2 guys who is still in the annual honors within my section.  Cool...

Thesises? Thesi? Theses? Thesaurus!

Dear Blogger,

     What kind of person in his sane mind would start with that kind of opening sentence?

                                                                                                                               Seriously,
                                                                                                                                  Karl

Today, I actually did practically NOTHING AT ALL! Sure, I did the thesis and all but come on, that was really boring.  I also did my homework in Filipino, but still not an achievement.  I feel so empty today, but I sure as hell ain't going out for my SS PT.  I can't commute home from that place.  And my dad won't change my 500 bill, so yeah, sucks.  For me, that is.  To continue.  I was so bored at home because I didn't do anything at all.  This whole thesis thing is getting boring.  But, just now, I know what to do.  I'll make plans for creating an Ark.  Not like Noah's ark.  More like an Eden ark, where it is paradise.  Of course, it would only be sustained if no one could access it.  Oh boy, here we go for work...

Updates and Updating

       Woah! Blogger had a major update while I was away! And Facebook also had that update regarding the news feed yesterday.  Oh yeah, I also joined Google+ as one of the first few public users.  Of course, I'm not a beta tester (I don't want to try it out at its starting stage, taking care of babies suck) that's why the account I made is very new, but the Gmail used for it is really old already.  I mean, come on, who doesn't have a Gmail? It's like not having a Yahoo mail.  Well anyway, this way of typing in the new blogger feels like a scribd article or something.  Those reading this arty (Wow! That sounds totally lame.) should try out Blogger.  Goddamn interface!  I don't know whether to make my article longer or shorter.  Well anyway, my introductory paragraph is over anyway.  Too much ranting, just so you know.

       Well now, the title of my blog is "Updates and Updating" for a reason.  First part is that there are so many updates happening on the internet nowadays! There's also the updates for my consoles so that they still stay top class.  And then there's the updating.  When I say updating, I mean the reassurance of my networks and patch updates for my Online Game.  There's also the fact the I update my social networks daily now because of (Tada!) Google+'s easy scheme of things!  It looks so much better than Facebook, I got to say.  You can block comments on your posts, have video chat, and edit your pics.  So much advantage.  Anyway, to get back to the topic at hand,  I need to update my PSP.  I mean games for it.  And I don't know what to add.   This sort of problem couldn't be solved that easily anyway.  Choosing a video game for me is always long and arduous hard work.  Sucks to be a video game connosieur. 

What Is Destiny?

   Wow, the title of my blog seems like something that lovesick geeks or conspiracy theorists will search of.  There's also the chance that it won't be the first thing they find, but some Wikipedia page or some more popular information website.  It might also appear in Yahoo! Answers or Dictionary.com, sometimes even its equivalent, Wiktionary.  But you see, the title of this story I have today is so people can find it more easily (25 reasons why I like pickles is still my favorite and easiest to find) and it has both the romantic and scientific parts that I've always wanted to say in a story.  So why don't I begin it now.
   Destiny.  The very words itself seem like chocolate to my ears, especially if I'm the one saying it, because of the way that it shows how seven letters that are both shallow and deep.  In the Wiktionary, it's means that it is the fixed order of things; an invincible necessity; fate, while in Dictionary.com, it means something that is to happen or has happened to a particular person or thing. Simply enough, the meaning of destiny according to these people is an event meant to happen.  But that doesn't seem right.  You can't exactly know that an event is supposed to happen unless you artificially influence it.  That is the only way for destiny to be true to its words.  So what about coincidences, luck, and karma.  Aren't they part of destiny too?  In fact, being born is part of destiny too.  So, what can we say is the true meaning of destiny?
   Let's look at it in a mathematical way.
                                                   Destiny = Fate.
                                                   Fate = Luck + Karma.
                                                   Karma = Good/Bad.
                                                   Luck = 8.
Therefore,   Destiny = 8 +(Good/Bad)
If you're wondering what this means, it means that if you get a number = 8, then that means that your destiny would be bad.  If it goes above 8 but below 9,  your destiny would be neutral.  And if you got more than 9 points,  you're destiny would be good.  Scientifically, i am saying that your chances of coincidences are a lot, you usually just don't notice them.
   Now, I want to tell of a piece of destiny of mine.  I was doing an analysis of the president's speech, and when I was done, I saw that the number of words that I have written were 666.  Ironic isn't it?  I have another tale of destiny.  Now, this destiny, is about how I met someone who I hadn't seen in a long time.  Her, yes her, name was Althea.  She was my busmate back when I was in grade 5.  Now, most people who have read that part would think that "Oh, a love story" or "Ahh, somebody this guy used to like, and now he's talking about it" or maybe even "That's probably his first crush or something".  Now, THEY'RE ALL WRONG.  She was the girl who bullied me physically.  No, not sexual harrasment, she was punching me.  But it can't really be considered bullying since, well, I am 5'9" and she was, I don't know, a 5' or a 5'2".  And I am fat.  So really, it wasn't that big of a problem.  And here comes the story.  I met her again. At the grocery.  And she was carrying a baby.  I was like "WTF! She has a younger sister already."  And then I remembered it.  The times that she beat me up and it hurt, and the times when I would admire her for her strength.  Somebody who was actually perceived by me as cool.  And as a girl.  She was like the most badass girl I had ever met.  But she had failing grades.  And a bad attitude too.  So she had to move to another school.  But, the piece of destiny I saw there wasn't us meeting, because we didn't talk at all (in fact, I don't think she recognized me) but rather the fact that she has a younger sister means that she is learning all about responsibility.  And I don't mean school responsibility, but life responsibility.  This is how I had seen destiny.
    Anyway, I'm am going to end this now.  The understanding of destiny I have come up with is that is a specially creates turn of events created by you yourself using your luck and karma to influence what is happening around you.

Blazblue: Calamity Trigger PSP Review redux

Visuals: 2/5
Music: 4.5/5
Gameplay: 4.5/5
Menu Interface: 3/5
Story: 3/5

Basically, it graphics suck, but at least they're good enough.  The music is incredible since you could get along with the beat while fighting with the opponents.  In fact, fighting is smooth.  Using special techniques is easy to pull off but combos are almost non-existent, unless you consider spamming the 3 same moves over and over for an unlimited chain as a combo.  The menu is easy to look at and doesn't strain the eyes, but the problem is that it goes around in circles.  Finally, the story is average.  The whole time repeats itself thing is confusing and how only Rachel remembers stuff.  And then there's V-13.  Anyway, here's a video link from Youtube with the opening.
