The DoTA Song

Here's a nice song for DoTA fanatics out there. Let's start the party and get it on.

Let's Celebrate April Fools

2008-04-01T01:06:00.000-07:00

It's already April, and we celebrate the month of fooling around. We're on to do some pranks and here's an interesting site I found where you can fool your friends for the fun. PeterAnswers.com is an online virtual tarot but with a twist. It's an easy prank but needs creativity in pulling it off.

Here's how it works:
1. First thing to do is to know the question from the person you want to fool.
2. Next is the tricky part. In the petition box, you have to type in "Peter" then follow it with a "." instead of a ",". Then quickly type the answer to the question. Finish it off with a ":".
3. Lastly, type in the question in the Question box.
* It's actually easy but the success of the prank relies on how well you do the steps.

The "Ken Lee" Idol

2008-03-18T08:38:00.000-07:00

You may have heard of her singing her version of Mariah Carey's "Without You" or watched her famous "Ken Lee Bulgarian Idol" video on Youtube. But do you even know who the idol is behind that confident voice?

Her name is Valentina Hasan, 29 years old, married and is residing in the village of Zvezdelina, in the Kardzhali Province. She entered the second season of Bulgarian "Music Idol" this year. She sang Mariah Carey's "Without You" but using her own version of lyrics.

She now has a new video and a much improved lyrics(I think?). Check it out.

Story of the Year - Anthem of Our Dying Day

2008-03-17T13:47:00.000-07:00

This weeks addition to my music vault...

Story of the Year - Anthem of Our Dying Day
The stars will cry
The blackest tears tonight
And this is the moment that I live for
I can smell the ocean air
Here I am
Pouring my heart onto these rooftops
Just a ghost
To the world
That's exactly
Exactly
What I need

Chorus:
From up here
The city lights burn like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day

For a second I wish the tide
Would swallow every inch of this city
As you gasp for air tonight
I scream this song
Right in your face
If you were here
Swear I won't
Miss a beat
Cause I never
Never have before

Chorus

Of our dying day
Of our dying
Day
Of our dying
For a second I wish the tide
Would swallow every inch of this city
As you gasp for air tonight

Chorus X3
Our dying day
Our dying day

Hello Cruel World part 2

2008-03-12T10:20:00.000-07:00

Now I know the reason why free is bad. My free hosting server was bugging me so I moved my blog again. Instead of looking for another host, I opted for Blogger.com since the service is good and as I saw with my fellow bloggers, its simple to use. Hopefully, this would be the last time this happens, just like I said before, it's reality that really bites.

Arnel Pineda and the New Journey

2008-03-10T19:02:00.000-07:00

I have recently heard of the legendary band "Journey" and their acquisition of a new lead vocalist. The news only struck me when they said that their new member was a filipino. At first I was skeptical and said, "you got to be kidding me, a filipino took over the place of Steve Perry?". But the lead guitarist Neal Schon told the story of how desperate they were in finding a new vocalist and they tried their luck in looking online thru Youtube. So I plugged myself online and searched the web and I found this guy, Arnel Pineda. I watched his uploaded videos together with his local band the "Zoo" in Youtube, they did covers of Journey, and when he sang "Open Arms", I was amazed how his voice sounded like Steve's. Sounds too good to be true but check this video from their live concert in Chile last February 2008 with Arnel.

You can check out their website here.

Man of Iron

2008-03-06T22:46:00.000-08:00

Man of steel, meet the Man of iron. Nope, he's not Leo with the Iron Mask, he's the newest Marvel Superhero to invade your theaters. Coming this summer of 2008, Ironman the movie is the newest superhero to watch. Tony Stark(played by actor Robert Downey Jr.), is a billionaire industrialist and a genius inventor who wants to protect the world by building a suit and using it to become the Ironman. Check out this cool trailer I found.

Got nothing to do, so I burned my time playing Flash Element TD. You win by strategically placing towers around the map killing all monsters. But the main objective of the game is to survive and obtain a high score. After many tries, I managed to score 248k in my latest game. You can try it and build your own strategy to gain lots of points.

Frost Bites

2008-03-05T17:17:00.000-08:00

I'm sitting here in my regular job, and I'm having chills. Not that I have ghostly neighbors, but it's the feeling of sitting below the Air Conditioning Unit and the cold breeze it blows hitting your whole body. It's only been an hour of just sitting in my seat and I could already feel my body shiver due to the cold temperature. And to think I'm wearing a thick jacket to protect myself, I'm still having this feeling that I'm gonna have frostbites at the end of the day. Just wish me luck I don't get one.

Matisyahu - King Without A Crown

2008-03-03T19:55:00.000-08:00

Here's another one of my fave songs. A little bit of Reggae and Funk, the message also Rocks!

Matisyahu - King Without A Crown

You're all that I have and you're all that I need
Each and every day I pray to get to know you please
I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry
You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty
Without you there's no me
You're the air that I breathe
Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see
With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity
But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe
I'll stand on my own two feet
Won't be brought down on one knee
Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights
Crown Heights burnin' up all through till twilight
Said thank you to my God, now I finally got it right
And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might

[Chorus:]
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I
Sing to my god, songs of love and healing
I want Moshiach now, time we start revealing
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I
Sing to my god, songs of love and healing
I want Moshiach now

Strippin? away the layers and reveal your soul
Got to give yourself up and then you become whole
You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know
You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow
If you're trying to stay high, bound to stay low
You want God but you can't deflate your ego
If you're already there then there's nowhere to go
If you're cup's already full then its bound to overflow
If you're drowning in the water's and you can't stay afloat
Ask Hashem for mercy, and he'll throw you a rope
You're looking for help from God you say he couldn't be found
Searching up to the sky and looking beneath the ground
Like a King without his Crown
You keep fallin' down
You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown
Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground
Given up your pride and the you heard a sound
Out of night comes day and out of day comes light
Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray,
Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze
Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze

[Chorus:]
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I
Sing to my god, songs of love and healing
I want Moshiach now, time we start revealing
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I
Sing to my god, songs of love and healing
I want Moshiach now

See I lift up my eyes where my help come from
And I seen it circling around from the mountain
Thunder!
You feel it in your chest
You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest
You're not vexed
Look to the sky where my help come from
Seen it circling around from the mountain
Thunder!
You feel it in your chest
You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest
You're not vexed

Calling All Leaplings

2008-02-29T17:36:00.000-08:00

It's the year 2008, and today we celebrate the birth of the leaplings. Leaplings are people who are born on the 29th day of February of a leap year. This day is also called a leap day which only occurs every four years. According to the Gregorian calender, the standard calendar of most around the world, a leap year has an extra day compared to other regular years. Adding an extra day compensates for a solar year which has 6 hours more than 365 days.

During common years, years which are not considered as leap years, Leaplings celebrate their birthdays on February 28 or March 1. It depends upon the laws where they reside. Some consider their age a quarter of their actual age just to fool other friends. So call all your leapling friends to celebrate this once in every four years event.

Feel the Pain

2008-02-26T19:00:00.000-08:00

It's my habit to browse around for tv shows that could interest me, and I happen to drop by Discovery Channel. They were featuring a new weapon made by the US Air Force, they called it "Active Denial System". ADS, which is commonly known as "Pain Gun", could emit about 95GHz millimeter wave that could cause intense pain to the target who is within the range of 500 meters. Tests reveal that a person hit by the pain gun, could feel a burning sensation in their skin and immediately runs away. The US Air Force designed this weapon to battle against riots, and it's approved also for use in Iraq.

This weapon is hot, if you know what I mean. We could cook people using this gun, just kidding. They say its safe and non-lethal, what I think is it still must be used wisely, not just point and cook.

Finch - What It Is To Burn

2008-02-21T20:11:00.000-08:00

Another one of my faves, I loved the message of this song...

Finch - What It Is To Burn

Today's on fire
The sky is beating above me, and I am blister
I walk these signs of blasphemy, every day
And still:

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

I feel diseased
Is there no sympathy, for the sun
The sky's still fire
But I am safe in here, from the world outside

So tell me
What's the price to pay for glory

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

Today is fine, and she burns
Today is fine, and she burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

Numero "Uno" dog

2008-02-13T21:59:00.000-08:00

Recently, a Beagle won as America's top dog in the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show 2008. The Beagle "Uno" became the first of his breed to become the top dog for almost 100 years. Beagles are known to be in the list of 100 popular dogs, but now it became the best of them all.

The crowd cheered wildly when the judge, J. Donald Jones, choosed the winner. Little did he know, he made a mark in the history of dog shows. It was a very hard contest for the dog Uno, he faced breeds that were well known to win(Two Poodles, Sealyham Terrier, Weimaraner, Australian Sheperd, and an Akita). He went from an underdog into a top dog.

His handler, Aaron Wilkerson, could not believe Uno won. But Uno did his job well of being the cutest in the show.

Lost Prophets - Last Train Home

2008-02-13T16:52:00.000-08:00

I share to you one of my favorite songs of all time...

Last Train Home

One! Two! Three!To every broken heart in here
Love was once a part, but now it's disappeared
She told me that it's all a part of the choices that your making
Even when you think you're right
You have to give to takeBut there's still tomorrow
Forget the sorrow
And I can be on the last train home
Watch it pass the day
As it fades away
No more time to care
No more time, todayBut we sing
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To ever fall in love

I wonder if you're listening
Picking up on the signals
Sent back from within
Sometimes it feels like I don't really know whats going on
Time and time again it seems like everything is wrong in here

But there's still tomorrow
Forget the sorrow
And I can be on the last train home
Watch it pass the day
As it fades away
No more time to care
No more time, today

But we sing
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To ever fall in love

Well we sing if we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing if it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason to ever fall in love

But we sing
If we're going no where
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing with out a reason to never fall in love
To never fall in love again

Chew on this!

2008-02-06T22:07:00.000-08:00

A friend of mine told me about this movie that will disturb the minds of men. When I watched the trailer, I was horrified and somewhat amazed. Just check it out, but I warn you guys...

It is a video of a female who has a disorder commonly known as "Vagina Dentata" or Teeth in her sex organ. So, watch out guys, and always remember that "every rose has it's thorns".
