the effect of swine flu on our daily lives

swine flu, or infleunza A(H1N1) (but i would very much like to refer it as swine flu), is drastically taking its toll on the community. no, its not the viral disease itself, but the perks that come with it.

as you all know, swine flu is the new kid on the block. the new black. the latest pandemic to hit the streets. sadly, or should i say... regrettably fortunate, it is just a mild case of the flu. hell, even dengue is more dangerous than swine flu.

take my word for it guys for i had first-hand experience of the virus. although my case was a little severe, it was because it triggered my sinusitis. which means that i had a hell of a headache. so, officially, i was diagnosed with acute sinusitis.

notice anything WRONG? if your smart enough, you can notice that they did not mention a thing about swine flu in my diagnosis even though i had exhibited its symptoms.

why??

to create less panic and chaos. if the medical world will NOT confirm the existence of the virus in me, then countless people can sleep better knowing that the dreaded virus hasnt infected a wonderful guy like moi.

notice that i used the word DREADED, and not DREADFUL, to describe the swine flu. well ladies and gentlemen, i am going to another part which will lead to another and will eventually lead us back to the main topic. :D

people dread the virus because of two things.

1. basically, they dont want to get sick
2. they have been brain-washed by the authorities thinking that its a deadly disease.

yes, need i explain? well... yes, i have to...

firstly, people dont want to get sick. its such a hassle. people hate being behind on the studies, miss work, etc.

2nd, almost all of us had orientations about swine flu, right? they say that its just a mild case of flu yet they had a lot more going on.

finally, onto my topic. now, because of that, classes have been suspended and so has our laag pursuits. why oh why?? do you realize how boring that is to us?? it was okay, no... AWESOME that you guys suspended class. but including our laag pursuits? that is miscarriage of justice! its like commiting murder! how could you do that? smiling their in front.. talking about social responsibility.

hell, i dont care if i infected a lot of people. our prefect also said that part of the social responsibility, is that we, the students of Xavier, are responsible in keeping the disease under control.

why us? isnt that DOH's responsibility? arent we the victims here? why the hell are we trying to act like heroes?

stuff you might wanna know about tekken :D

ahhh yess. i always wanted to make a lot more posts about this game. hahahaha. this guide is really about how I decipher and fathom it. it is from my own understanding and i have NO guarantee that this will make you the best player in the world. :D



tekken..



tekken is a game created by namco. the concept of this game is really simple, actually. it's basically the same with other fighting games; beat the hell outta each other. but what makes this game unique is it's fighting concept called an aerial combo or more commonly known as a juggle.




what is juggling?



juggling is the term used by tekken players illustrating their combos. it is the act of launching your opponent, or your opponents character, in the air and pummeling him with all sorts of punches, kicks and whatever thing that inflicts damage. here's the catch: you must do this WHILE he is still floating in the air and you must NOT let him fall to the ground before your combo is done. seems easy enough, right? WRONG. hahaha




style or damage?




the debate is on and tensions rise on each side. which one is dominant? the style of the combo or the damage of the combo? i prefer to choose both. but before that...



style.



having jaw-droppin combos dont necessarily mean that its kickass. but the audience rapport is truly irresistible. we tend to forget the damage and start focusing on the style of the combo. how the combo looks like.



damage



this is for aggressive people who are more brawn than everything else. lol. they do whatever it takes to inflict the most damage to the opponent.



my own verdict.

well, it usually depends on the damage difference.. if the damage difference isnt that big or not quite noticeable, i really would go for style. but if the damage is WAAAAAY BIG. then say hello to the world of hurt. :D

well, there are a lot of people who play tekken. and a lot of people who dont know how to play this game. some say that you punch and you kick, that's it. so how do we sort out the noobs from the pros?



button-smashers


they dont know how to play AT ALL. from the word itself, the players mash away at the button until one of them dies or until they mash their fingers to bits. the Character of choice is christie or eddy. but now its lili. be warned though, button smashers are extremely unpredictable and i have seen pros get beaten by them.. how embarrassing :D


semi button-smashers


they are just the same crowd but a little wiser. they now know how to block and would only sometimes attack when near. they know a little but still uncertain. for example, marduk's 1+2, they know that they must press the two punches at the same time but they are going to do that for 3 times, like mash 'em like hell. lol. still unpredictable. choice of characters, any. now that these persons know a little bit of tekken, they tend to choose a more variety of characters.


grab-abusers


ahhhh, yes. my worst type of gamer. they are the ones with prodigious knowledge and skill about grabbing. grab is a cheap move and grabbers are soooo cheap and so gay. although i had my fair share of grabbing experiences. lets just say, they are afraid to get up again.. :D again, semi unpredictable. learn to counter grabs. characters of choice, king, armor king, marduk, characters with a long reach. how to defeat: be aggressive, answer grabs with grabs.


novices


these are guys who have made up their mind and take up tekken seriously. this is the most crucial part of the tekken stage because they begin to develop their love of the game. usually the time when players pick at last their character of choice. this is a trial and error period. only few can actually surpass this stage. they try to learn as many stuff about their characters as hard as they can. usually, they know atleast one combo and they have tried hard to master it. usually very predictable, they are sadly misinformed into thinking tekken is nothing but juggles. how to counter: try reading their pattern and use your own plan from there.



intermediate


these guys know a lot about tekken. they know at least half of the characters but are sometimes predictable. they can easily pick up patterns and use it to their deadly disposal. they have cool juggles but need a little bit more practice. they don't try new stiff with their characters. they try new ways to execute old moves. it takes time, practice and patience to get to this level. how to counter: be equally good or better! :D



expert


these guys are the best of the best, the legends. they are like, you know, chairman of the board. they know everything there is to tekken. EVERYTHING! they can do stuff in tekken we could only dream of! they can make every character so deadly that you would be awed just to be with the same breathing air with them. lol. they are unlikely to be predictable. they think 2 moves ahead of their opponent but juggles less often. truly a player to be praised. OH MY LABOR! :D

now, the following are a few reminders on tekken. they are a NEED-TO-KNOW, HIGHLY-CLASSIFIED... uhm,. "stuff."

• there is such a thing in tekken as sidestep. you can do this by simply TAPPING the up or down joystick. be careful though.. if you are heavy with your hands, the character will JUMP instead of SIDESTEPPING. now, sidestepping is important because you can do moves off it and you can actually evade your opponent. for example, your opponent is starting a 10-hit string from a distance and he's coming off towards you. a couple of sidesteps and you will be in his left, or right. there is a faster way of sidestepping though. this must be done really fast. it's called sidestep fake backdash something. no, i did not make that up. but yes, i forgot the name. :D it is done by sidestep then back dash. so its like this, you tap up, so that your character will sidestep. then quickly double TAP. TAP. TAP, not double then hold. i haven't quite got it yet. :D
  
• there is such a thing as backdash. backdash is the art of moving back quickly. it is done by TAPPING the back joystick 2 times. this is done so that when your opponent tries to hit you, he misses and you have a very clear shot for a juggle. be warn though,. this is not always the case. there are times that even after a backdash, the opponent can still reach you. but its completely safe.
  
• forward dash. forward dash is the ancient art of lunging forward. if u need a couple of steps in order to land your attack, then the forward dash is a very useful tool. it can be done by double TAPPING the forward joystick. what is the difference of DOUBLE TAP and DOUBLE TAP THEN HOLD? well, it probably the same thing. but you can get moves from double forward. but you can only get the ordinary move in forward dash. okay? secondly, forward dash is safer because you can hold back after the dash.
  
• there is such a thing called 'while-rising'. it is executed while your character is rising from a crouch OR he just landed from a jump. for example, jin's rising uppercut. first, hold the joystick down so that jin will crouch. then release the joystick so that it will return to neutral and simultaneously press RP or 2. this will execute jin's rising uppercut. another way to execute this is by holding the joystick upward and when the character will land, the joystick must be in neutral and then simultaneously press RP or 2.
  
• chicken buffer and fakes. this is very tricky. chicken buffer means finishing and/or prolonging the animation. for example, kazuya's wind god fist, which is done by f,n,df. simultaneously press 2 when reaching the df part. it will be fast. but in buffering, the player waits a little longer before pressing 2. therefore, finishing the animation. chicken buffer is used for boggling the opponents mind. fakes are used only by a few character and only a handful of people can execute this is quick succesion. baek, lei, hwoarang and christie/eddy is are famous for this. they have moves that can be continued and executed into another move. i cant explain how it looks like but you already know. this is used to keep your opponent guessing. a word of caution though, if you are VERY PREDICTABLE, then this will be your downfall. players can easily pick up your pattern and punish you. a very good baek player will keep you occupied with kicks and will keep you guessing where to block.
  
• there are moves that require multiple joystick motions. like kazuya's wind god fist, etc.
  

there are three types of fighting styles. the turtle, the pitbull and the balanced type.

turtle- well, this player plays a very defensive game. duh, thats why they are called turtles. they seldom attack and normally counter and block most of your moves. beware though, too much turtling can result in grabbing or guessing.

pros: defense is the best offense.

cons: can keep you guessing where to block, strike, or counter.

pitbull- again, analyze the name. it is the complete opposite of the turtle. the pitbull goes for offense. they rush up to the opponent and does not let the opponent have time to pick their nose or scratch their ass. but be warned, too much pitbulling is close to suicidal.

pros: can make your opponents life hell. the opponent will have a hard time landing an attack.

cons: your offense can be turned against you.

balanced type- from the word itself, this type of player can balance his offensive skills and also his defense skills.

pros: none

cons: none

now, here are some of the characters that i normally use or characters that i am really good at.

lili: uf+3, b+2-1, 1-2, 2-1+2
christie: d+3+4, 3~4,2,1~4,2, f+3.
law: while rising+2, 4-f+3, FF+2-1-3
king: u+4, df+2-1, db+2+4, 2-1-3-4,
hwoarang: b+3, 2~4-2, f+3, uf+3-4-3
baek: b+3, f+1-2~3, f+1-2~3, f+1-2~3, f+1+2-4
marduk: DF+3-1, 1, df+3-1, FF+1+2
bryan: fB+2, f+1+2, 1, 3-2-1-2
kazuya: f,n,f+2, 1, 1~2, f,n,f+3~1
lee: uf+4, 1-2~f, 1-2~f, 1-2~f, 3~4

infidelities of school life

why?


i mean.. why must the world be so cruel? arent we all born to be good, our ways influenced with our surroundings? i have lived a life full of atrocities and infidelities. i just put up with it because i know that its part of life. but i cant stay silent. not anymore.

i am not knew to saving my classmates skins. always, i do projects all by my own because i knew that they wont help me even if i danced naked in front of them. im okay with that, as long as i have a grade. i wont fail just because the others didnt help.. over my dead body

you see, im that kind of person. i just dont sit down and do nothing just because i dont like to do it for others. i do it because of me, helping others is just part of some perk. thats just school work, okay?

i hate it when other people take credit for my i really hate it. not helping but getting a grade is one thing. but taking full credit? nope, aint gonna happen.

it happens a lot, you see. a teacher gives us a project, im grouped with lazy people, its like this.. "okay, we have the project. i'l do it while you could just sit your ass and still take credit" kinda thing. i dont mind making the group project alone. i have been doing that since i could remember. but it really pisses me off when people take credit for MY hard work.

wtf?? oh no you didnt! you see, none of you wouldnt get anything if i hadnt wasted my time, money, sweat and all other things just to make the stupid project. now, i dont care if youre not thankful. fine by me. im doing it for myself anyway. you were just a perk.

i made ALL my investigatory projects even though we were grouped. all they did was read and report. there are many times when members pressure me and scolding me about OUR project in which I, alone, was making.

'if youre gonna ask me one more time when the project will be finished, i swear to christ im gonna shove it up your ass"

just some of the things i say to who uses... whats the word, oh yeah. cant-fail, get-good-grades-quick schemes. if i hadnt stepped up and made the stinkin project, all of us would fail. now i cant have that now, can i? not when im part of the stupid group.

and sometimes i do it because i know i can do better than my members and they know it.

now that i had that part covered up, let me start something new.

i really hate it when people ask me to do something for them, and yet they wont do anything i ask of them. in what sense is that fair?

people cant just push me around and get away with it, oh no.. thats why when someone offends me, the next time he'll see his bag, its gonna be full of mango shake. lol, i really did that. nobody knew it was me. it caused a lot of trouble though. the prefects were investigating everywhere and man it was worth it. hahaha.

so please, always remember that im a guy who thinks that revenge is better done in secrecy. rather than blabbing about it. hahahaha.

high school

when i enter the new school year, i, together with my batch mates, will be known as the seniors. the proud seniors. we have earned that degree of respect for we have shown bravery in the midst of terror. in the past years in high school, we have faced challenges hitherto. and after every year, some of our comrades leaves us. we are the lucky ones who survived, who strive to be better, who became seniors

when we were freshmen, we were young and naive.. we were all possessing this dream graduating. we were still learning the ropes and we have yet to learn about life. we didnt care about anything, for we were enjoying our thing as a person in high school. for us, it was a wonderful feeling. to others, it is merely the next to life. we have now reached the point in our lives where we will truly live it.

sophomores year. the time when things get a little serious. after enjoying a full year as a freshman, being in high school is as common as being a person. we are getting a taste of life and learning more stuff. we noticed that we were now fewer in numbers, a thing that was the dreadful inevitable. so we now gained a little experience and hopefully we could exercise some responsibility over ourselves.

junior life. ahh yes. this is the big time when we are really face life in its worst, the point when we feed our inner voyeur. in this bumpy year, we have faced a lot of down times and we have learned more in this crucial point in high school. we now have faced the reality that life isnt all that fair. we must work hard for something we really need, for the time of spoon feeding is in the past. still, we have decreased in numbers but thankful that some of us passed. if ever there was a time to get serious, this was it.

seniors. finally. we have reached this point of our lives when we will be rewarded with the fruits of our labor. the point where we are ready for the next part of our lives. we are simply mastering everything we learned. we are the ones with the most experiences, and as such, we tend to make wiser decisions. having considerably lost about half of our batch mates, we are therefore, the luckiest, for we will soon have our dream come true.

for the undergrads, many think that being a senior not something to get proud or excited, alas, how sadly dim is their mind. for being a senior is everything we really wanted to be. it is the closest thing to graduation.

i am now nearing my finish line, i have almost run my course. i have passed the biggest part of our education. for all these years, after all i have been through. i wish i had lived my high school to the fullest.

it is the one thing i regret in all of high school.

school!

in just a few days time, kids from private schools will return to school to finish another school year of education. this is now the time when we think of all the things we should have done during summer.. when ironically, we had spent many days of summer complaining that its boring, etc etc etc.

am i right? im sure most of you think i am. now, i couldnt help but feel that it was like only yesterday when we left the thresholds of our schools to enjoy our well-deserved summer, although we cant help but feel a little alone, knowing that we are about to say good bye to our friends. for we must inevitably say goodbye to all of them for the time being. but there are others whom we say goodbye for the last time.

it is the discomforting truth that every year, we decrease our ranks and say goodbye to those people who... didnt make it. in school, there are standards. and when a student fails to comply with the school's standards, he or she is forced to leave.

i regret to say that after another school year, there are students, many of whom are my friends, who must leave.

and yet, life goes on.

we meet new friends and have new groups. for those who have survived all these years, are the lucky ones. they are almost within their goal in which they dreamed when they were still freshmen;to be able to graduate in this school.

so, without further ado, it is my fervent hope that during this new school year, we will have fun and stuff. but for incoming graduates like me, i really do hope we graduate. hahaha :D

my tekken life :D

it all started when i was in 2nd year high school.

before i was into tekken, i was into another fighting game called Soul Calibur 2. i was addicted to that game because all of my closest circle of friends were playing that one. although i played together with them, i was nevertheless the underdog of the group. we were the ones who always played on that machine. but everything changed when i was bumped in the back while playing SC2. i wheeled around to find the person, but he was apparently busy playing another game.

and that game was tekken 5.

it was like my life was paused. i offered my sc2 game to my friend, which he happily agreed to play, and watched tekken.

tekken...

that name was familiar.. yes, tekken. i remember now. i played that game a very long time ago. it was then called tekken tag. a very old game indeed. so i took out my token and began to play. when my hand touched the controls, it was like having a new life.

and i knew that that game changed my life forever...

i choosed my favorite character, which was law, and started to play. last time i remember, i played in ps2 and used a technique very familiar to most players. that classic technique is called BUTTON SMASHING. a very easy to learn technique and very easy to accomplish. next thing i knew, i lost.

well, no surprises there. i played for years.

and so i took out another token and played again. this time, i wanted to choose eddy.. my 2nd favorite character. but then he wasnt there. so i choosed a character who is VERY unfamiliar to me.

her name was christie.

she had the same fighting style as eddy. which was called capoeira, a fighting style that looks like dancing. so i started playing again and i lost again. after that, i vowed that i would learn how to play tekken.

when i went home, i researched everything about tekken and combos. i was introduced with a concept of the game called JUGGLING.

juggling is the act where you put your opponent in the air and hammer your way through.

lol. so i was amazed about it. i started to learn how to block, which was ridiculously easy, and learned my very first juggle combo.

df+3+4, 1,2,4~4

the combo was very noob friendly but has a very small damage. but it was a good start. i paved my road to tekken supremacy. i kept coming back to the internet to feed my craving for tekken knowledge. and at just about 5 months playing the game, i became relatively good.

soon, my friends started playing the game. naturally, i was better than them. and so they kept asking me to teach them.

and then it HIT me. why not learn ALL the character's? it would really help me. but before i finally decided to learn other characters, i reached my gaming career playing christie.

it was in fun time, everyone kept challenging me and i kept on winning. there were really close fights but i always manage to scrape a close win. i noticed that i had been playing for a very long time and when i checked my wins, i was shocked.

i had 20 wins with only 1 token. how cool is that?

i was very ecstatic to know what i just did, and what i just accomplished. i told my friends and they were also happy. and soon the word had spread.

there were a lot of people gathering around the tekken machine, craning their necks just to see for themselves the wonder i made. they kept watching and i grew nervous. i was afraid i would fail while they were watching me.

and so i did.

i was defeated by a really good person. the final score was 3-1.. it was not a dissapointment though, for i had reached 25 wins and gained 2nd place. i tied 1st place with 25 wins but i was only the second person to achieve 25 wins. 1 more win and i would become 1st in that gaming machine.

after that, i gained power, fame and bragging rights. although i knew that the time has come when i had to learn other characters.

it took me about a month learning how to play half of the characters. but when i got my psp, i polished my skills and learned all of the characters in less than a month. and after more than a year of playing the game which i loved the most, i have become what i am today, what i had dreamed not more than a year ago. although i have become a considerably good player, i have still much to learn.

and now whenever i play, i would always be watched by my "fans". either they had been fans for a long time, or they had been a fan for only 5 minutes, it doesnt matter. i grew confidence and kept winning battle after battle.

the best thing of having fans is that you alaways get free tokens. hahaha. and you are beig cheered on. i love my fans. i love tekken. i will always play tekken. :D

whyyyy im no good in computer :D

again, i would very much like to confirm this fact.. YES, i am really NO good when it comes to computer or techy stuff. im not proud of it though, nor am i ashamed to admit it. there are a LOT, and i mean a LOt, of people who are not that tech-savvy. although this is a very hindering fact, i could NEVER imagine myself being computer illiterate.

the mere thought of it insults me...

you might say that your better than me in computer.. the hell i care.. id rather you'd kiss my ass for ALL care. (lol, peace. hehe :D)

hmm.. why am i not good in computer? well.. i, for one, have very good reasons. and i am sure that my reasons are very understandable. given the situation, of course.

• my last computer teacher DOES NOT, i repeat, DOES NOT, i shall make myself clear, DOES NOT know a thing about teaching.
• okay, okay.. he does know a little bit of the subject matter. but constantly tells us that it's hard, it's boring, blah blah blah. GAAHD..
• he's constantly threatening us with.. uhm.. threats. goodness gracious. like, docking points off us, sending us out, reporting us.
• yeah, he does that A LOT. which makes him the.. (oh, brace yourself :D)
• the MOST INFAMOUS and CONTROVERSIAL teacher everrr. a lotta people agree with me on this. :D
• he is so BOOOOOORING that he makes satan shit himself. lol, that should give you an idea of how we, his students, had the utmost misfortune to spend an hour every meeting in his hell hole.
• lol, that fact enabled him to have a "fans club".. i think this is the link, http://www.friendster.com/group/tabmain.php?gid=2428853
• he is constantly gloating about how he is "loved" by students and how "famous" he is.. i mean, for the love of God! get a life.
• BUT that doesnt mean we hate him.. he almost always makes us laugh. well, usually at him. he teases students and we start laughing and then a moment later he demans total silence. talk about kill joy. :D
• so... another factor is that the computer lab is.. BRRRR.. cold. coupled with the fact that your facing a very boring teacher, drowsiness is guaranteed and induced in less than 5 mins.
• after a very hard, grueling and poorly-dicsussed lesson, he expects us to do what he says on hands-on PERFECTLY. so, we are not surprised that we all fail..
• i am quite surprised why i passed third year. but then, im surprised that we ALL passed. well, he couldnt fail an entire year level. so, i guess he only failed those people who have negative scores. (i once had a negative score on a test.. damn)

negative scores. yes, it is possible. but, how come? well, let me explain.

• he gives us tests when we least expect it.
• he doesnt dicuss that thoroughly, therefore resulting in failures.
• he docks points off us.. always. always. always.

stuff that he takes liberty on docking off points:

• disaligned keyboard
• mouse is not where it should be
• mouse placement is disaligned
• we whisper
• we talk
• we stand
• we're noisy
• our chairs are not aligned
• we're not following instructions
• improper opening websites/applications
• turning the computer on
• turning the computer off

i could go on forever but my poor memory defeats me. well, these are all that i can remember. so now, i hope you understand...

whyyyy im no good in computer :D
