Out of all the bands I've listened to all of my life, one made a major impact on me growing up. No, it's not Blink 182, Staind or Linkin Park, it's a band I've discovered much later in my teen years. 2007 was when I discovered The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, around episode 12 there was this concert episode about a band called "ENOZ", I read the forums that this was to pay tribute to a certain j-rock/j-pop girl group that was at the peak of its career but disbanded in 2005, ZONE. I leave the rest to history.

I never took any Japanese lessons and honestly, I can only make a rough translation of words I've learned from watching anime all those years. But that's the beauty with their melodies and songs, they bridge the language barrier that you feel the message of every song portrayed, just by listening and watching the PVs. I always get flash backs of my fondest memories while listening to ~Secret Base~ I start missing friends, and people I hold dear in my heart. I remember my routes when I listen to Glory Colors, I won't give up on the dreams I've planned myself....

I was late 2 years to experience the band at its peak, 2 years and yet they still captivated a fan through their music. They disbanded for positive reasons, Mizuho the drummer wanted to pursue her studies, Miyu, Maiko and Tomoka couldn't see themselves being ZONE without Mizuho therefore decided to disband. They were a flower that was cut during its prime, 6 years of captivating hearts all over the world. Thank you for your music...

I leave with you the music video to Secret Base and Glory Colors (translation in links).

This may be the most anticipated anime of the season. If you are a fan of Groove Adventure Rave you'd definitely love this.

Copy pasta from Wiki
A young sorceress, Lucy Heartfilia, travels to the land of Fiore to join the magical Fairy Tail Guild. Along the way, she meets Natsu Dragneel, a teenage boy looking for a dragon named Igneel. Shortly after their meeting, Lucy is abducted by Bora of Prominence, who was posing as Salamander of Fairy Tail, to be sold as a slave. Natsu rescues her and reveals that he is the real Salamander and has the skills of a Dragon Slayer. He offers her membership into the guild, which she accepts, and they become a team performing various missions for the Fairy Tail guild.


The anime is out on the 13th of October so be ready for the subs like a day after. Anyways, here's the trailer for the show. I'm guessing animations is primarily like Rave, but we'll see...it's getting me all psyched up!

i was fooling around with xml, found a tutorial so i decided to practice with the blogger scheme

here's my old template pure old school html

"I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, start out dead and get it out of the way. Then you wake up in an old age home feeling better every day.. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.

You drink alcohol, you party, you're generally promiscuous and you get ready for High School. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a baby, then, you spend your last 9 months floating peacefully with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, larger quarters everyday, and finally you finish off as an orgasm.
I rest my case."

Well, folks I'm not the informant type but with the traffic this blog has been generating lately, I'm here to help whoever clicks on this blog.

This is Typhoon Parma (Pepeng) gaining strenght at a category 5 level. Wow, if there was a God he must've forgotten us a LONG time ago, either that or He must be PISSED. Anyways, it could be that the plot of Supernatural is real, damn you Sam Winchester!

Stay inside and in case you guys value your work instead of lives, good luck to ya! stock up and stay safe! happy huntin!


oh on a side note I added a new counter, a better one so view counts are back to zilch.

Natural disasters are a terrible thing, we all know that. Floods, storms, blizzards and fires don't choose, they don't care of your race, your education, your social status, or your religion. It's a given that there are hazards in this world and we have to fight them. We've gone to weary with a comfy life that we've forgot the basics of living; survival. I'm not choosing sides that "sinners deserve what happened" or that other guy from PEX that said "kasi tapon ng tapon kayo ng basura kung saan saan." and even that chick that stated "a de-selecting of individuals; only the fit should survive" (here's the link). Enough of that, no name calling no blaming, no one deserved this, no one is free from anything either.

August 2005,Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and made a massive flood, ruining an entire metropolis. September 2006 Typhoon Xangsane (Milenyo) and Typhoon Durian (Reming) hit the Philippines with destructive wind power and continuous rains. After taking a direct hit from Milenyo, parts of Manila were in ruins. There's a reason why storms are getting stronger and the floods are getting bigger. When you think about it; Typhoon Ketsana (Ondoy) was not that powerful in terms of rainfall and wind speed, Milenyo and Reming were category 4 storms Katrina was a category 5, Ondoy was merely a category 2 storm. Why would a weak storm like that cause such a massive flood? Think about the 3 past storms I've stated and how constantly year by year it gets stronger or has more water. There are so many changes in our climate, way too much if I do say so myself. Rainfall wasn't totally bad this weekend the problem is that dams released water and broke into the metro, which couldn't be helped. It's not about the drainage either, although water came down it can't stop too much water; overflow is bound to happen. Yes, trash everywhere could be a problem and so much lack of self discipline can make small rainfall into a flooding street but water was too overwhelming even for the best drainage system there are debris from floods too. The only difference that throwing away garbage at the proper locations can make is how fast the water can subside. The message I'm trying to portray that our world is deteriorating. If you watched Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" you'd realize this is a possibility. The sad truth is that it is only going to get worse. We need to step up and try to do our parts.

Captain Planet, if you grew up in the 90's had really pure intentions when it came to preserving our world, other than the AIDS episode, that was just wrong. The PSA's that the G.I JOE make after every episode isn't only for safety but for environmental purposes too. We saw this happening yet we, as inhabitants of our home were too ignorant to realize the mess we've made. A house if not properly maintained turns weak and ugly, a car without proper tune ups turns into junk, a body without proper nutrition is malnourished or obese, the same goes for the Earth. We cared too much about our comfort, our blogs, our buidings, our electronics to care for our trees, waters, mountains and animals. I know I'm at fault too doing so little, when I can do so much. No one is to blame, no one is at fault, there is still time to change the way we all live, being alot simpler than anyone is good in the long run. The camaraderie people have shown these past days are astonishing no social status involved, no one rich nor poor, people have dedicated their lives to rebuild what others have lost. It's really ironic that a tragedy is the only thing that can bring a nation together. For it may be a death of a president or a massive catastrophe. I just wish that this thinking would still be within us after a month or two have past, don't do this because your friends wanted to, don't help out because it is required in school, you're not a bad person if you don't help out no one is to judge you for that as long as you are being true it is fine. I just wish that helping others won't be a fashion statement but something from the heart. My name is Reian, and these are my thoughts.

It's an uber rainy saturday Philippines where you at? You must be at some happening place...wet...stranded...and cold. This feels like that time in Harvest Moon, the typhoon roaring, you feel helpless as some of your crops meet their doom. It's been raining non-stop since last night, trust me because I know, why? I didn't sleep.

end of post I don't have anything funny or logical at the moment....oooh i feel light headed...

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

you ever have that feeling of uneasiness? where you can't sleep but you want to?you feel light headed but you fight that urge to close your eyes? it's almost 5 am while im typing this. I have a piano version of BoA's every heart playing in the background. I think adrenaline is pumping in, you feel all surreal and you start thinking of so many things.

you start to think, what to do tomorrow, deadlines, you start to shiver some uneasy feeling of nothingness, where is my life headed and then, sayonara solitia starts playing. (totally inappropriate but im typing in real time)

anyways, back to that surreal feeling of being tired, groggy and lacking any rest. as far as anyone's concern its pretty bothersome. i don't have any deadlines, why i don't sleep is by choice. alot of times i feel empty, like a shell....aching to crack open like a spontaneous firecracker. it's just a depressing feeling, sometimes...i just want to drop down into a deep slumber. a chaotic mess within the depths of a labyrinth, a soul, a charred remain of oneself. guide me through...as the piano plays , as people murmur, as friendships stutter...

Does anyone remember the video game crash of 1983? It's that time when there was a massive flood of video games in the market, developers and manufacturers abused the rising industry and over populated it with games and consoles. Publishing control was so overwhelmed that numerous bad and poor quality titles were then released everywhere. Due to this incident numerous game companies were forced into bankruptcy. Two years later, a small Japanese company called Nintendo released our to be childhood gem the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) a.k.a Famicom in North America revitalizing the gaming industry. Nintendo had this standard system called "The Nintendo Seal of Quality" meaning that all games that are released had to be tested and approved by Nintendo , keeping out crappy games from the market, and no one to exploit the industry once again.
Standards, a word defined "something considered by an authority or by general consent as a basis of comparison; an approved model". Something that keeps the quality of the world. You may not notice it but the abundance of standards in this world is astonishing. Let's say you want to eat somewhere new, a friend suggests a restaurant not known. You go to a place that looks shabby and not appealing, but you eat there anyways and found the food really good. Normally, you wouldn't eat at a place like that but what made you eat there now? Your friend, you trusted your friend not because of your bond, because you are on par with his standards. When he says the food is great then it must be. Schools have standards to follow, the passing grade of 70% They have to uphold the quality of their students. Students need to bare the name of their alma mater so they have to live up to the standards of their school.

We have standards ourselves, from the friends we choose to the clothes we wear. Here's an example of personal standards, remember your first love? Remember that first time you felt that feeling of love with someone and since that was your first you can't help but compare other girls (or guys) you've met after that relationship. It's exactly like that; comparison to something you've grown accustomed to. The kind of standards you have shows what kind of person you are. Simple people go with simple quality clothes and food while high class individuals tend to go with big named fashion and cuisine. Eventually, these things make up who we are inside. It's like asking me what girl I like or what music I listen to. It is our own choice and we live by our own boundaries, you can tell alot about a person with what he chooses. I chose to be an agnostic individual, I love subs but I eat at Jolly Jeeps too, I work out 3-4 times a week at this gym, I love reading manga by... and I like this author's books for the knowledge, you see choices are based on the standards we have. We don't have to follow trends like stuff with 3 stars and a sun, yellow shirts or red and black dogtags. We can branch out to become our own individuals, just like what we've been doing since the start right?

If you're reading on facebook I need blog hits, go to http://reiansworld.blogspot.com .

Try walking around for the day, walk to crowded areas like malls, train stations, lunch areas, the gym, anywhere. Now, stop and look at each and every single one of those people. Don't stare, its not polite just look. If you are anything like a human being you'd be filled with opinions about those people. That chick over there looks hot! WTF!? that's her boyfriend!? Dude! cool shirt! That guy with the neon green pants and pink top looks like a total douche. I don't know if its normal to other people but I certainly do it. It's human instinct! It's human to criticize. I suppose that's why we have stereotypes.

Yeah stereotyping is a touchy subject, but we as people, strive to find a place we "fit in". If you're into technology obviously you get along well with techies. You love to play DotA hence you love hanging out with people who also play DoTA. You're a car fanatic so the most logical thing to do is join those auto clubs. You care way too much about your grades henceforth you are currently lacking any social life whatsoever. Stereotyping is like a wolf looking for the right pack, you know where you belong the moment you see them. It's really funny, ok to further prove my point. Think of your most trusted peers, You've thought of your "tropa", "barkada" right? Think of what you guys love doing together. Some may like to perform dance numbers, others might just chill at a fave resto, guys might play basketball or any sport on a weekly basis, you may have drinking sessions, play the same game, read the same book, debate on the same side and even purchase the same meal, odds are you all share a common interest. Why do you like these individuals? Because of your interests, because you belong with them, because of stereotyping.

It's normal to stereotype people according to the social status quo, even High School Musical explored that topic. That's been done over and over and over again jocks hang out with other jocks, some emotastic people just stay emo, musicians rock out with band members. I want to brush up on a different approach. ONLINE stereotyping. It's still a really small list but it might make you smile a bit. It may be wrong, it may contain offensive things but you know what!? That's why its a good list.

Reian's personal "the type of people you see online list":

• Bloggers - Let's start this list off right. Bloggers are people who like to write about anything, you share your thoughts, photos, some emo diary entry, you web log! These people are often informative like sharing some tips, some analysis, others upload cheats or exam leakage and some are just freakin' emo. These are a cool, collected and pretty generic type of net user.

Well, things are slow at the moment. I choose to just chill for most of the days, practicing programming, hopefully doing small jobs and some art work for cash. I don't go out THAT much at the mo, I stay relaxed, reading and doing some productive stuff. Although, I do get drunk once or thrice a week that's nothing new. I finally took the liberty of upgrading my phone, had my motorola v3i like for eternity now, I'm on a nokia e75 now, and the twitter and facebook updates are freaking mobile now haha.

Was gonna sell my car, for some cash since I rarely use it now. But parents told me just get a new one, might find a nice SUV or pick-up that suits my tastes, since I've been driving the pick up most of the time and not my car.

DJ's friend is selling their computer shop, I was trying to convince my friends that we should get it, the place is big like a two story house with alot of space. The downstairs a computer shop while the upstairs is a potential hangout. I dunno, plans are still up in the air, not sure if I'll pull through with it at all but, it's nice to think of something future related.

Life can have its major ups and downs. Life can be forgiving and unfair, Life can have its rewards and have its shit. Well, life in general is infact a state of growth. '

That's the beauty of it though, life is a sporadic mess of tragedy and euphoria. There was once a boy who constantly indulged himself with video games and anime, a kid whom thought of a life making or designing his passion. Then ended up thinking of all the cynical things, provocative issues, having this urge to at least try and save the world the crazy idealism of being young being at such a tender, tender age and time. Ah time, no matter how cliche' it may sound the only constant thing in this world is time. It's always there, changing second by second, our heart is pumping and aging every nanosecond we live. The beauty of life is through time and age, the fear and ugliness of life are through time and age aswell.

Time could be crucial, time could be wasteful, time could be short, time could be eager approximately any kind of word could be associated with time, banana time, train time, sexual tendency time, time for me to throw up. You see? Like or not Time is an anagram of Life. If anyone bothered to read this and asked themselves, "What the hell are you talking about you douche!?" give me the next paragraph to explain myself. You see, it's more simple than it seems. Remember that bunny from Alice in Wonderland? The one that says ,"I'm late! I'm late! for a very important date!". He's right you know, everyday someone must feel like that, someone must've woken up later than the usual and went to work or school fearing to be tardy. Remember your quiz in a major subject? The one with the "time limit"? Or remember that time you wanted to switch up your processor because this one was faster and could do more in less "time". I could fill up this blog post with nothing but those kind of analogies. So, what does this have to do with anything? Everything.

We basically all live under an ultimatum, we don't have a clue when our timer stops ticking unless, you have something like this.



Well, as dumb as it may seem. We are constantly living and that doesn't last forever. I don't want to waste my time anymore, I took time for granted, like what I did to my thesis mates I procrastinated beyong stupidity, I held back a friend for nothing it was just because I was being relatively super lazy. I did my best to make up for it when we hurriedly finished it for graduation. Thank you Jho, Kevs for forgiving me, and to Mic and Ray thanks for all the help. I don't want to be that kind of person no more, nor be someone like my dad who wanted more money yet forgot that we, his kids grew up already. I don't know how long I have on this earth. But I still want to help change it, even if just sharing my thoughts with all of you I may come to achieve this absurd task, I'm truly grateful.

Actually, the past couple of days have been fine, awesome, or whatnot. Well, with twitter feeds and wallposts. Also; the text greetings, last thursday it may be aware that I've just graduated college. an awesom feat to finish.

It was cool, I'm gonna miss my college friends though. But, because of the web we're still keeping in touch right fellas?

Anyways my dad said he'd fly back just for my grad and to my surprise, he did. Lots'o good things happened I guess. My dad, didn't finish my graduation(he left pretty early) so I was saying what was the point of his flying back then? Was I used as a scapegoat or excuse? He said jetlag, but wasn't he already aware of that? The PICC had pretty comfy seats. Anyways he kinda kept me hanging I was ok, a little disappointed but OK. I mean he did say that he had to leave in front of my friends. Which is really embarrassing.

Another thing, we(HS friends) partied after grad. Me looking spiffy in corporate attire. we drank at the mall of Asia. And we talked smack at each other till the break of dawn. It was awesome.

Well, till yesterday. We wanted to have a kinda cool celebration for me and dad's bday. I was still upset at him and he was acting all high and mighty that he didn't do anything wrong. It was clear in my words that I wasn't fond at him that moment. I kept avoiding my douchebag father he kept trying to talk to me all casual somewhat about some FAIL business plans and other things he has no clue about. I was at my limit and I wanted to keep cool just have the "LEAVE ME ALONE" plastered on my forehead. But he had to keep getting in my face. So, I really blew up. Man I said some things I really want him to hear, I wanted him to know I was upset, I wanted him to think of the last time he fulfilled his fatherly duties. He just flared up at me yelling "thank you for ruining my fucking birthday" deep inside I wanted to say "thank you for ruining my graduation". He stormed off yelling that I don't want him to be my dad anymore, I said no such thing. He's too insecure that he puts words into his mind, words of sorrow and fucked up meanings.

My dad is pretty much a lost cause at the moment. So, Lets just drink to ease the pain.

/end of emo-ish rant.

For a very very long time, I've finally stopped blogging all together. School got hectic, girl issues, started to party more, started to do more things with life, you know typical stuff like any normal guy would do. Then it struck me, I've wanted to make a name for myself as a web developer, wanted to test my skills in design, wanted to share my life and my thoughts with everyone! Hence OK! let me revive my old blog, my old old blog. Reian's World. Not to brag or anything during the two years of its uber activeness i really did get alot of hits. So, from here on out. after the massive update with the visuals and codes I'll be making a better, brighter and cooler blog. Alright? LETS GO!

It's most likely that you'd call me blasphemous by stating facts I've learned from watching George Carlin stand-ups. I don't blame you, living in a country where religion is everything I just managed to think out of the box.

Maybe I am totally wrong with my points but you can contradict to my statements however you want and I'll listen too.

Poverty:
Most Filipinos say that they are in poverty, actually you know who to blame for this? religion! people tend to pray more and indulge themselves in all the false hope that a savior will come down and give them the life they deserve. Its like teaching people to pray more than to work with all your capabilities. That's why people tend to move out of this country since the belief of an invisible man is pulling them back. The church is in serious shit I tell you. Complaining about every possible thing.
a.Prostitution
Due to people living in slums and uneducated people can't make a decent living, alot of females are resulted to sell pleasure to thrill seekers. This i don't get and i agree with george carlin with this one, why is prostitution illegal? Isn't giving a guy an orgasm a less problem than killing him? It's legal to give away for free and illegal to sell? wait a minute hold on, what if you walk into a store and just grab anything you want and walk out without paying, isn't that illegal?...you guys might think I'm evil and that's ok, a blog's a blog man i can write anything here.

Religion
I always thought that religion made us weak. Anyone remember that Filipino bastard who almost got his head chopped off? That's a prime example of our country's weakness. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one" unfortunately our president doesn't think that and decided to pull out our troops, douchebag. Besides that moron wasn't supposed to be there in the first place! what kind of idiot decides to go to work in a place that's being bombed? EPIC FAIL!


i'll add more when i feel like it...

as you all know hearts day has just past and...my day went really well except for my ankle sprain which made it really hard to walk. so not being able to walk nor drive without excruciating pain i was not able to go to school today...damn

kept my ankle elevated higher than my heart to relieve the pain and eventually heal it, didnt have school on Wednesday nor Thursday so im basically free for the weekend was only able to miss a day. haha it's not like me to be soo worked up about school...

anyways vday was awesome, nothing uber pricey since the 14th is just a date where the flower shops give you a price boost. i only gave my gf some honmei chocolate, not exactly home made honmei but chocolate nonetheless (you'll get what i mean if you watch anime) it was cool except for the fact that my brother was all so jealous in some ways wahahah...but being a good bro that i am i just ordered out so they could get some treats too.

and yeah i am also waiting for smash bros. brawl....

ever since i linked this blog up with my multiply account been lazy to ever post...not as creative as i used to be anymore, things change, people change, i change....might steal a new skin off of blogskins.com in a while to have free time to actually make my own template...

first off, been really feeling uber down, like the feeling of apathy taking over me. it's not because of school, school's great besides the fucked up cisco professor i'm having a blast, not because of friends or anything it's a REALLY discreet family ordeal, if i have the guts i'll post an article about it...

here's the mushy part,

you know the feeling of being down and have it in your heart that ONLY one person can actually become your one true savior? yeah i guess it's about love again right? (told you it was mushy) i've been having that feeling for a while but not that i think of it, i guess it was selfish of me. i know i need her she knows it too, she likes comforting me but, hates it when i'm really down and being all pessimistic, i got so desperate to be with her to the point that i wanted her to lie....

lie.......to be......with me? damn reian what's wrong with you!? well as deep as my heart goes here's a humble apology, hope you get to read this...(other readers if there are any hehe this part stays private)
