he said he dedicated this to a girl who caught his eyes and unfortunately she is nowhere to be found. how sad.

we’ve decided to shoot a music video for it and I directed/edited it. The plan was good but it turned out we don’t have much time and so the latter part where stuffed with unrelated clips.

i’ve also included some of our skateboard clips with me and dave skating after 3 years of not riding a board. Gladly i can still do some 5050s. lol.

so here it is and check it out. and oh please dont hesitate to leave your negative comments.

negative comments usually are truthful than the positive ones. lol

i stumbled on a site recently that mocks most of todays most famous scene. The site is called yourscenesucks.com. I really find it funny how they put a little description on some scene characters. check this page for example http://yourscenesucks.com/punx/index.htm scroll on the bottom part and read the about section.

“although his lifestyle may seem to embrace rebellion and individuality, the pseudo-punk spends plenty of time ensuring that his leather jacket is adorned with enough studs and patches to look just like those of his friends. he claims to be ambivalent about what anyone thinks of his looks, but he will go out of his way to put elmers glue and five cans of hairspray into his liberty spikes so they can stand as tall as possible. “

I hate to admit it but at some points in our lives this statement came into reality. I don’t know about you guys but i think i was guilty on this one in one way or another.

But i have no regrets. It was all part of growing up. Now looking back, i seem to laugh at myself and say why the fuck did I think that. I mean there’s no offense to real punx out there if there are really such, i have so much respect to the ideology thats why I just dont want to stain it with some stupid sense of fashion or unthinked of reasons.

Anyways its getting far out already. why the hell do I always write off topic? when can I learn how to write the right way?

ok so for you guys who had a chance to read this and have some spare time in your hands try to visit the site and check and look back how you fare on your younger years and see on what scene you belong.

I have finished setting up my skateboard yesterday and it should be good to go. im really excited to take this one into the streets.

here are some of its pics. i have to cherish it at its current state as it still has not scratches on both trucks and deck.

I ordered a new skateboard deck and trucks yesterday, it was supposedly last sunday but the store owner was still on holiday, and the package arrived today. I ordered in online at Jackass Project Skateshop. The transaction was smooth and have no problem on the orders at all. You might wonder and ask why do i have to buy online. well its for the simple reason that there are no stores that sell original skateboards here in davao. The last time I checked Melrose Davao was closed i just dont know if it was a case of bankruptcy.

im so excited to set this one up and I cant just wait to have my first ride on it and do an ollie or a kickflip If I still can. Hopefully i can still do those.

Its been like 2-3 years since I last skated. And now i felt a renewed passion for doing this very, very enjoyable and fun activity. I know i’m not young and I shouldve stopped playing by now but nah who cares. i really missed skateboarding.

So here are the items…

Blind Reaper Hippy

The overall trip was fun though a little bit exhausting. It feels great to get to travel once again after my long abstinenence on engaging in any form of trips.

Im still working on how to upload the video of my zipline taken by Des. The format is somewhat difficult to encode to flv. So i am guessing i would need to upload it to youtube and the likes. But i dont know i hope I can figure it out without resorting to using 3rd party sites.

Together on this trip is my good ol’ friend Sandi, his girlfriend Desiree A., their kumare Desiree D., DonnaJane(thanx for coming on such a very short notice), and of course Me (still drunk on that day coming from Airon’s bday party at c5)

A picture of us Riding a piece of metal going back to the adjacent mountain top after doing our first zipline (Desiree D’s Second)

if you want to see some of our pics please check it out on flickr.

thanx to Desiree A.(lalabs ni sandi) for the pics

While googling some documentaries by discovery channel I stumbled upon a site which compiles videos on different kind of documentaries. They show free documentaries of on different categories for free. I watched the Lost Pyramids of Caral and Unconvering Atlantis docu’s which were both very informative and revealing. It honestly made me wanna go back to school and study archeology quite a bit. That 2 hours of viewing was a really great experience.

After finishing the two films, It made me quench form more. I tried clicking on other categories to search for some interesting topics to watch. Then a title caught my attention. It was under the religion section. It was titled “The God Delusional”. A 2 part series that has a play time of approximately 2 hours and so I decided to check on it knowing it will be a good past time and I’m really interested on the scientific view about God. I watched this film setting aside my bias about my faith and so my mindset was neutral( I honestly don’t know how neutral considering I have a strong faith ). I tried to view each revelation on this film as objective as possible. I tried to understand the message that they are trying to give out as unbiased as I could. I honestly would say this film brought shivers to my spine. The guys on this film are so damn good about what they are doing that whatever arguments you can think of to counter their statements would just appear dumb and plain stupid.

Ok, if you wanna watch the documentaries now and stop reading this nonsense blog entry. please spare some 3 hours of your time and follow this link below. WARNING: please do not watch this film if you have a very shaky faith

http://freedocumentaries.net/media/146/The_God_Who_Wasnt_There/

So after finishing both parts of “The God Delusional” another related video caught my attention. The documentary was titled “The God who wasn’t there”. This is a documentary about the author himself who once was a fundamentalist Christian believer and then tried researching about Jesus and the history. He wanted to know more about who Jesus is to strengthen more his faith but it just turned out to be the exact opposite. He was stunned on the information revealed to him by his research. His discoveries made him a complete atheist and totally denying the existence of Jesus and even God.

What’s more interesting in his documentary is that his analysis is not very scientific on some points, I should say the arguments were brought up in a Lay mens term, that’s why his message could easily get across to the viewers. It was shot in a setting wherein the locations are very accessible and one could easily find out for themselves about the validity of his documentary. Also at some points, this documentary shows very disturbing images depicting different versions of Christ’s Image. The Gore on this film is heavy but It won’t get any heavier than passion of the christ (Which I know majority of you paid to watch the film), since the clippings used where just an excerpt of that film.

So what did I feel about watching? Kind of nothing unusual. I can say its just another informative film that has no or if not a little effect on my way of thinking.

This film only solidifies my disbelief on any religious sect.

My faith is based not on what other people imparted me, not based on what some priest is lecturing me, not bases on how I was raised up but my faith is based on real life experience, my passion on reading the bible, and an internal feeling ( which I do not know how it came into fruition ) that God is somewhere out there outreaching to everyone just like me. It’s just a matter of how you respond to it.

So if you asked me. “Did this film change your outlook towards God?”  Absolutely not.

Did this film somewhat affect you faith? Yes, it made me believe in God more. Call me an asshole, stupid or whatever you can think of, but deep inside me I know God made me watch this film to challenge how deep my faith is. And after watching this film I am glad and proud that I have passed his test.

By the way, just so you guys know, I was not always this man of faith. I was an atheist, blasphemous and a pretentious idiot.  It just so happen that something inside me made me believe and have faith in God, and I would be very glad to consider that “something” as the Holy Spirit.

Now what is this crap about? Nothing.

is this interesting? No.

Why did I write this? I don’t know.

ok then go on… ok then…
So to continue.. ahhmm.. uhmm.. damn. can I rewind? lol.

Exodus.  I would like to dedicate this post to everyone who wish to escape the shackles of poverty which by the way is also popularly known as Philippines.

Majority of my acquaintances expresses their desire to go abroad.  They always talk about what life will offer them once they set foot on the foreign soils. I can see in their eyes the hope, the promises, the excitement once they start speaking and thinking about going abroad. And im not too dumb not to know why the only promise of a better life for them is nowhere to be found in their motherland. I don’t really wanna go political and blame this phenomenon on our government, I know they are already have their hand full from the leftists.

since, i dont know anymore what to write and lost a bit of interests because of currently having a headache. I would make this post as hanging. if you would like to finish this blog entry for me that would be great. just email me your post and I will gladly add it after this paragraph.

yeah probably coz I listened to zack kabarotsa. huh?! isn’t it Zach de la Rocha. Yikes! im strike two. but damn it. this time im sure i’m not going to make a mstake. Because im a reggaeist (did I just invent this word?!) , im sure I know the history of Bob Marley and his life. Do you want to know what i know about this reggae legend? I have read somewhere that Bob Marley and Che Guevarra are in the same band? yes, yes. I know I am right. Why don’t you believe? hahaha! Now, can’t you see that im cool. Lol. Lol. Lol. Rofl. Im the coolest of em all.

Since you already know that im cool, might as well tell you what i know about being cool.  Ok do you know metallica? do you know their song that goes like “salbatroooss”. Wait. I know you already heard that. maybe you havent recalled it ayt? Might be a memory problem? cmon man i know your cooler than that. Ok how about listening to punk music. Do you know underground punk music? Me? im the master of that. i know almost all punk bands. Don’t you believe me? ok the most punk of them all is Daft Punk. this band is the punkest of them all. Ok there is also another one. The one with the backstreet boys was it AJ? hahaha. ok so if you want a cool one then try Avril Lavigne. Have you heard he was a skater boy? Lol that was a great music. I listen to it every minute of the day back in my student days. because I was a t(h)rasher. I carry a skateboard eventhough i cant ollie a match stick. hahaha. But the mere fact that I have a skateboard that already makes me cool plus I intentionally low waist my pants and make my clothes dirty. hahaha. Now are you cooler than me?

Nah. please believe me. i beg you because im dying to be cool.

NOT!

think again idiot!

This post is just my tribute to all the top men and women working hard at scriptlance. It just so happens that I was one of them. And I myself am very proud to be one of them, and mind you, its not like lifting my own seat, I mean scriptlance is(in a heartbeat) in the top 5 freelancing websites around the world according to most IT experts. So its really an honor for me to be atleast a member in this great community.

So before anything else, i would like to thank Mr. Rene Trescases the CEO of scriptlance and to all his staff, without your hardwork scriptlance will never be what it is now.

And now here is the list as of Sept. 03 8:51am GMT+8.

So just, a little summary about the graphic, it shows the scriptlance top 25 programmers. The one’s with ribbon icons next to their usernames are the Scriptlance Premium Members while the ones without it,like me, are just regular SL members.Ok, so i made a little research about the guys working here. I just made some background check on the guys I occasionally end up bidding against. First is the cream of the crop. SL’s top programmer. The esolz team. They are an indian web/software dev firm. And on the number 2 spot is again from india. They are the most reviewed user in scriptlance. 1315 total reviews. Wow! They use deepsniti as their handle in SL. On the bronze medal, oops i think im still not over olympics, i mean on No. 3 is primaccesstech. This time coming from the west, from U.S.A.

ok. i think i have not time to elaborate all of the top programmers but to cut this story short and since this is my blog. we’ll move forward to no. 18. And at last, there is Me. “andhotbot ” from the Philippines. And im very, very, VERY, very happy now that I can see the fruits of my hardwork. And above everything else the help of the Lord our God. Without him I doubt if I can get a single project even if I end up bidding $5.

Just an info, I scanned all top 25 programmers and found out that about 70% of them are from India. Now that’s what they’re talking about. Thats the indian skills baby. Also there are some from the russian region and of course there is another Filipino on the top list on No. 11, athena101 and they have their company site at http://pxweavers.com.

So I guess this the end of my little story about the scriptlance top programmers, and oh i’m celebrating my 2 year anniversary of being part of scriptlance this coming sept. 16 (sept. 17 in Philippines). So you are all invited for a beerfest. Lol. just kidding

Anyways, this post is nothing except to publish another music video that I created. Video Editing is beginning to become a hobby of mine and I wont be surprised if I end up editing lots of videos because it really is fun. Although its time consuming but the end results will pay off. Now i think im improving, though i think i need to read the basics of directing and filming. But nah, i dont know.

So ok, here is the video. “Love Story for you” By: Marciano and the Missing Enalah
