Family Fun

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

Thinking up titles is not for me. Haha. Obviously.

I have an adorably adorable family — A mom who’s really sweet and a sister who’s absolutely devilish.

Tiff and TheaOnce while studying for a PE1 quiz (which I ended up getting a zero in since I was late — wasting my two hours of studying, but what the heck), my dear devilish sister was trying to help me differentiate HDLs (good cholesterol) from LDLs (bad cholesterol).

She goes, “Imagine HDL to be me and LDL to be Mommy. You need me to get rid of mommy’s evilness.”

This resulted to a mini pillow fight between the two of them.

Now how can I sleep when these two kids are always at it :P

Sorry for the long lull of no posts — did I say that right? Well, I’ve been busy trying to moderate the chatroom at mail.com — it’s crazy in there, I tell ya! And… I think I have the blogger’s block (sorta like the writer’s block but it’s related to blogging)

And since the maintenance thing, I’ve been blogging in my private blog — yey me! :)

Interestingly, I wasn’t able to post something about this last week:

This has been the talk last week.

The hex code to crack HD-DVD DRM was hacked by some guy who couldn’t play this DVD in his computer.

My take on it?

Copyrights are there for a reason — it’s to protect the intellectual property of individuals who actually use their brains to come up with stuff. Now, how many of us can actually do that.

This is the reason why I’d rather watch a movie on the big screen than buy pirated DVDs.

But then it’s becoming harder and harder to stick to that resolve since just downloading movies and songs and books are easier than actually buying them.

Me and Superbong have this business selling shirts — as some may know. And once, this acquaintance of mine sent an SMS to me regarding it — telling me that his shirt should be free, he’d be a walking advertisement. And I was all, “What the heck? Why? Are you popular enough to merit being an advertisement?”

I read a similar rant regarding this concerning artists and people who try to have them create art for them for free saying that it’s free advertising for their talents.

I know that they’re probably not the same thing, but what the heck. It certainly made sense — people with talent are not plentiful. If you don’t want to appreciate talent and pay for what it’s worth, find other talents and I’d tell you, “Good luck.”

On a lighter note:

I was depressed for the past two days, but I feel that I’m fine now.

Went to Outblaze yesterday.
Post about that to be posted tomorrow.

A Spider is an Insect; I’ve Never been Fond of Insects

Spiderman 3 sucked.

I was introduced to issues and conflicts that were, well, shallow. I felt like I was in high school–except it was supposed to be real life. I’m probably expecting too much thinking that the real world would be more exciting and all that.

But it’s not just that.

They relied too much on their special effects and left out putting the movie together well–you’ll know that it’s a good movie when you don’t have a hard time watching it and you don’t squirm in your seat thinking that you just want to read the Sandman graphic novel that you brought along with you (which is also a good way of avoiding speaking to a person you don’t like. Just ignore and pretend to read).

Spiderman’s only saving grace was the “poignant” and happy ending. That’s it.

The movie bored me–it had too much drama. And I was reminded constantly–while watching–of all the studying I could’ve done if I just stayed at home.

But yeah, Teddy Bear’s right. There’s no comic book trilogy that’ll beat the spidey.

blitzcentral: The big surprise in the FoxNews.com report is word that one character who appears to die in Spidey 3 might return for Spidey 4. “It turns out I may not be completely dead,” the unnamed actor who plays the unspecified character revealed.

WtHeck?

And the first paragraph of the spiderman review goes, “In Hollywood, conventional wisdom suggests that it doesn’t matter what you do with the first two-thirds of a story as long as you have a strong ending.”

I beg to disagree.

So I like to do a lot of things…

I visited my good friend Losman AKA Oble’s blog yesterday. Found something cute, so I decided to copy him.

Directions: Go to Google and search “_____ likes to” (ex. “Losman likes to”). Include the quotation marks. Type in the first ten things that come out.

The cute calico cat, Tiffany likes to be around people.

Now see here. Hello Kitty is my distant relative!

The model, Tiffany likes to explore her love of extreme sports such as white water rafting, boating and sky-diving and has even leaped into cyber-space with her own website.

I don’t do extreme sports. And… does having a blog, count?

The racer, Tiffany likes to hang out with people.

I like living the fast life ;)

The orphan, Tiffany likes to keep busy and on the go.

Yey! Someone who’s prolly going to grow up a workaholic too!

The Karate brown-belter, Tiffany likes to read, write, cook and take care of her family.

Hiiiiyyyaaa!

The university student, Tiffany likes to spend time with family and friends, go to sporting events, listen to music, and watch movies.

Well, what do you know? I’m really a people person!

The high school senior, Tiffany likes to listen to music and hang out with her friends in her spare time.

I wonder if this Tiff and the Tiff before her are one and the same? She prolly grew up liking the same things. Heh.

The fifth grade, Tiffany likes to spend time reading, and she really enjoys school.

I really enjoy school! :)

Dirty Tiffany likes to be spanked.

So that’s why she doesn’t take a bath. Hmm…

The graduate, Tiffany likes to play softball and hang out with her friends in her spare time.

I used to play softball in high school :) I actually miss it!

-o-

Now that’s fun! I wonder if I’d be included in someone’s “Tiffany likes to” someday…

Here’s for y’all: Tiffany likes to drink her green tea frappe at Starbucks and listen to songs on the iPod with friends. Reminiscent of yesterday…

Stayed up until 2am last night studying for PE cause I thought she was going to give a quiz–turns out she didn’t. And so my math teacher has to deal with a very sleepy Tiffy who kept yawning all throughout class.

Sean lent me a part of his Sandman collection–volumes 1-3. I can’t wait to start reading; I want to find out what all the fuss is about.
