Thank goodness I was able to download this song. I really cannot say that it's a song since there are only a couple of words but the beat is really contagious. This is the music used for the promo video of the Nokia Lumia 2520 and I have nothing to say but Nokia's promotional videos for their songs are truly eargasmic. Ang gaganda ng mga ginagamit nilang songs and music. It started with the Nokia Lumia 920 and from there on, ang gaganda na ng music nila lalo. Listen!

Just finished downloading Shingeki No Kyojin's original soundtrack and I must say I really miss the anime. Medyo ang tagal na din nung tumigil siya at para lang akong naghihintay sa The Walking Dead na bumalik nung tumigil din sandali 'yong airing niya. Anyway, while we are waiting for the anime itself, hinanap ko muna ang OST niya at hindi naman ako na-disappoint. Kung true fan ka ng Attack on Titan, alam mong heto ang tugtog sa mga pinakanakakaexcite na parte. 'Yong tipong kasama ka sa tagumpay nila. Eargasm indeed! Hahahaha..

The devastation brought by Yolanda is starting to unveil and it's really, really, really heartbreaking. Currently watching ABS-CBN's special coverage about Yolanda and as we can see, Tacloban is a total wreck. There are other places that got hit and most probably they had the same fate. Watching these people suffering, those who died in vain, who lost their belongings, their parents, sons and daughters, everyone they love, it's just beyond comprehension. It's even making my Mom teary-eyed. It is understandable that the government will have a hard time straightening this out but more than that, this is an eye opener for those who are abusing the power of being a government official. Do you see your people suffering? Sana lalo lang palakasin ng mga Pinoy ang laban nila laban sa mga magnanakaw na opisyal ng gobyerno. Yolanda will divert people's attention from Napoles for the meantime but I hope we will not forget her and her fellow thieves. Bangon Pilipinas!

Kuroko No Basket and What I Think About It

This post will serve as one of the longest post I had for a very long time. Medyo naging inactive ako sa Tumblr for sometime pero this specific anime had me going. This is the second anime review I will post after I started Shingeki No Kyojin almost 30 weeks ago. Kuroko No Basket. Ano ba siya? As you can see sa picture, about siya sa baskeball. I played it a lot when I was a child but I stopped kasi asthmatic ako and the culmination of modern games stopped me from looking back. I have college friends who plays a lot but I doubted myself from playing it again so yeah, my basketball skills became relatively stagnant. Another thing that bothers them more than it bothers me is that they thought I'm gay. One event changed that, though. As it turns out, my friends at work are huge fans of basketball. They play every week or if our schedule is tight, it's every other week. They pushed me to come with them but just like what you are currently thinking, I declined it. I am thinking that 'Magkakalat lang ako doon' or 'I forgot how to play'. However, even though they are aware that I will probably suck at the game, they kept on asking me so yes, I joined them. A week before the game, I am utterly nervous because I really have no idea of what I am going to do inside the freaking court. It's so huge and massive and it's quite unwelcoming. The day came, though. It's inevitable, right? I thought of backing down but I don't  want to look like a coward so I went. I wore a Rebook rubber shoes - how I got the shoes? Well, it's my father's shoes - and I am surprised that I felt comfortable wearing it. We played and it's freaking cold because I was freaking nervous. Do you have any guess how did it go? Yeah! I was 'effin useless but I had a lot of fun! I ran and ran and ran and it pumped me more than anything else in my life. I got a lot of chance to shoot the ball and I made the shot but I didn't make it. I sucked at dribbling as well. What I really appreciate at that time though is the fact that my co-workers are adjusting because of me. They are cheering even though they are aware that what I've known before about basketball is already gone. They were really there and playing with me kahit na ang basura ko sa laro. Well, they probably don't have a choice either.  After a week, my friend gave me a copy of Kuroko No Basket. I appreciate the fact that he gave it to me because he wants to inspire me and push me to play basketball more. I watched it and all those times, I want to get dressed, buy a basketball and a new rubber shoes, get going and practice. The lead character, Kuroko Tetsuya, is a man I learned to idolize. I am a lot like him because I can only pass the ball and because my basketball skills are below average. I devour the series for two days and as what I have shared a while ago, there is nothing I want to do but play basketball after watching this. I asked myself what's the difference between Kuroko No Basket and Slam Dunk and I got one answer. Slam Dunk is about pros whereas Kuroko No Basket is about being weak. It's all about how you can use your weakness to your advantage and how to use it as your strength. I can really relate myself to Kuroko and I thought that by not backing down from that basketball game, I possess the will to change. One of the reasons why Kuroko No Basket is a great anime is because of its heavy focus on friendship and teamwork. Some would look at the characters as too soft considering they are men but in a basketball game, trust is the thing that would bring the team to victory and as sweet as it is, victory will make the team closer. Losing, as I can see it from the anime's perspective is something that no one wants which is pretty true but it was projected in a way that would look positive, the spirit to start from scratch and stand up again and from a basketball player's point of view, to trust your teammates again. Now that I have already finished the Summer Cup, I am longing to start the Winter Cup. I don't want to spoil the surprises of the characters so I want you to watch it for yourself. One thing, though. My most favorite character is Midorima. You'll see why.

Whenever Nokia releases a new phone, everybody is waiting for its ad. Wanna know why? Because along with the jaw-dropping device, a slew of badass music is also included. This is the official soundtrack for the Nokia Lumia 2520. Epic, isn't it? I got a lot of awesome music from Nokia's ads and this is only one of them. Listen!

This is the first post I will post after a very long time. I watched a lot of movies these past few days and one of those that lingered isThe Great Gatsby. This movie is a movie of epic proportions. Everything about it is epic and great and I cannot say anything bad about it either. Aside from the movie itself I enjoyed the fact that its soundtrack is as good as the movie. Really. This is one of my most favorite song from the OST. Florence and the Machines is just one hell of a band. Medyo panlalaki 'yong kanta pero I appreciate the fact that this song is something that would give you goosebumps! Musical prowess to the highest level. Listen. Listen. Listen while your eyes are closed.

Hi. Are you using Lumia 720? Baka pwedeng makahingi ng opinion and experience mo about this phone. Balak ko rin kasi mag 720. Nakapagbasa na rin ako sa mga reviews and forums. Gusto ko lang talaga ma-convince ako ng 100% haha. Salamat, kung okay lang :)

Hahahaha.. at ako talaga ang natanong mo ah? Hahahah.. Sorry sa late reply.. Hmmmm.. I think this is the slickest lumia.. Hahaha.. 4.3 inches, sobrang swak na swak sa kamay although nahihirapan parin ako.. I am not a phablet kind of guy kaya ayaw ko ng Samsung products.. hahaha.. Dropped mine thrice, not a single scratch.. WP is so fluid.. camera, awesome. Although I am planning to get a Nokia Lumia 925 in the future.. kung budget conscious ka tapos gusto mo quality, heto na ‘yong phone na ‘yon.. switched from BB 9360 and I’m never been happier.. :D

I knew this brand when I was checking articles online. Sila 'yong bagong kapartner ng Nokia sa Earphones nila and nung una ko siyang makita talagang nabighani na ako itsura niya. You can check Coloud through Google at grabe sila sa color variations. Hinding-hindi ka mauubusan ng pagpipilian. I chose this color combination since my Nokia Lumia 720 is yellow at mag-ha-harmonize sila. Wala lang. I just like it to be color coordinated. Anyway, let's go ahead to the true reason kung bakit tayo bumibili ng earphones or headsets. Music, right? Sound Quality ba kamo? Uhmmmm. This brand blew me away. Super! Beats? Nah. I wouldn't spend so much for that overrated earphones. This one is quite costly for P950. May mga taong hindi rin gagastos ng ganun kalaki for an earphone but this is way cheaper than Beats with the same sound quality. Believe me. The quality is so epic. Try one. As I have said before, there are a lot to choose from! :D

Just to pay homage to Lady Gaga's new song. This is the first song that I liked from her. Haha.

At heto na si Lady Gaga at nagbabalik. Listened to her new single, Applause. I kinda like it. 'Di niya ako fan pero hindi rin naman niya ako hater. Pumunta siya dito sa Pinas pero wala lang for me. Hahaha. Pero I must admit that this new song from her I think is a different one. Hindi ganito 'yong narinig kong Lady Gaga noon and this one is kinda awesome. Mas nagustuhan ko 'to kesa sa Roar ni Katy Perry. Ang galing vocals ni Lady Gaga. Hindi ko alam kung auto tune pero ang ganda ng boses niya dito.
