Guardians of the Galaxy #3, Astonishing X-Men #25, Iron Man: Legacy of Doom #4, and Other Face-Rocking Comics

July 14, 2008

I’ve been wanting to try out a couple of ongoing series these past few weeks, but looking at my pull list, I think I’ll wait for a few months before I add new titles to it. And with that inconsequential introduction out of the way, it’s time for some reviews!

Guardians of the Galaxy #3 - Continuing the energy and unadulterated awesomeness of the first two issues, this issue is full to the brim with action, suspense, mystery, and fun. I’m getting used to the “debrief log” framing device, and I’m getting used to the idea that this group of characters is an actual team. Sure, most of the awesomeness comes from a talking raccoon with huge ass guns, but the other Guardians contribute to the fun too. Add the mystery of Starhawk and Vance Astrovik, an attack force running on prayer power, and a fascinating cliffhanger to the developing group dynamics, and you have yourself a solid read.

Backpacking Pinoy Style

July 6, 2008

Filipino backpackers gave their insightful and inspiring, not to mention enviable, experiences on traveling around the world last July 3 at the Recreational Outdoor Exchange (R.O.X.) shop at the Fort. Five speakers shared their own travel plans and notes, and gave useful tips to the participants, each of whom was probably pondering silently on how they would execute such similar excursions.

Thor: Reign of Blood, Ended Runs, and Other Face-Rocking Comics

June 30, 2008

Yes, I’m bringing the noise back into this blog. And when I say “noise”, I mean “comic books and other geeky stuff”. I bought a lot of comics last week so I thought now’s the best time to force some comics goodness down your unsuspecting throats. Also, I just closed Face Rockery, so, yeah. There’s that. And here we go:

Thor: Reign of Blood - The second Thor one-shot from my current man-crush, Matt Fraction, has everything I loved about the first one. Violence! Trickery! Cruel gods! Sexy goddesses! All-around awesomeness! Seriously, Thor piloting the Blood Colossus to smite the vast army of the undead while it’s raining blood? That’s so bad ass it should be illegal.

PH ToyCon ‘08 Photos

June 15, 2008

Today’s the last day for the 7th Philippine Toys, Hobbies, and Collectibles Convention (aka ToyCon 2008). Tonight, June 15, 2008 (Sunday), Ade’s band, Lose Your Beer Belly, will perform from 7pm to 9pm.

To get inside Megatrade Hall (the venue: SM Megamall, 5th Level), you will have to pay a minimal amount of P80 (boo!). My friendly tip for hobbyists and enthusiasts: do not bring more than P1,000 with you because you will surely spend everything once you are inside. Happened to me. Wiped out the contents of my wallet. Good thing I only brought P1,000. Talk about foresight! I only spent P800 on rare comicbooks, no more than that. Right now, I wish I had bought more stuff, though. Oh, well. Today’s another day.

Extra Challenge: Saving 2 Megapixel Portraits with Photoshop

May 30, 2008

Before the Nokia N82 (five megapixels), even before the Samsung U700 (three megapixels), I used to carry around the then schmexy Motorola V3X, 2 megapixel snapper of a clamshell-type mobile phone. At times when I would get the urge to just point and shoot at people, the camphone is instrumental in curing the creative itch. The down side is, although the composition would almost always be impeccable (wink wink), the image output leaves much to be desired in terms of colors, depth, and contrast to name a few. Hell, it’s the general problem that plague users of mere point and shoot cameras.

Two years after I took Rochelle’s (my good friend’s) portrait, two years after I’ve tried editing the photo firsthand by only adjusting contrast and hues, would my newfound Photoshop killer skillz do more with an otherwise great photo? Another challenge is would said skillz work with an image taken using a two megapixel camphone? The result may make or break Scott Kelby’s reputation, author of the book The Photoshop CS2® Book for Digital Photographers so I better represent, ho!

The California Maki in Rice Paper Roll - California Maki with a Twist

May 25, 2008

The California Maki in Rice Paper Roll  - California Maki with a Twist
(California maki wrapped in rice paper)

Most Filipinos that love Japanese Foods, especially the ladies, really love eating California Maki. Maybe it is because it’s the most well known Japanese food, aside from Tempura of course. Other than its appearance and reputation, the taste of California Maki is acceptable in most Filipino palates. For the new starters and still learning to eat food items from the sushi bar, the California Maki is the best choice to start. California Maki’s original recipe from countries outside the Philippines, consist of avocado, crabmeat (it could be real crab meat or imitation crabmeat stick “Kani Kama”), cucumber, and lettuce. However, here in the Philippines, we substituted the avocado with our most favorite mango fruit, which even made the California Maki more delicious. Maybe it is because of the availability of the mango all year round, unlike the avocado that is seasonal.

Is Computer Science right for you? 7 Questions to Ask Yourself

May 20, 2008

I have a lot of classmates who doesn’t want to be in their course (computer science). It’s whether they want to be a fashion designer, photographer and other careers that are not related to computer science. At the middle of the semester, they shift to other course.

If you want to be a computer science major, then you need to consider these 7 questions.

Charles’ Reviews: Ploning

May 15, 2008

In celebration of Judy Ann’s 30th birthday, she stars and produced a remarkable and ground-breaking film Ploning.

Judy Ann Santos stars as Ploning, a simple girl from Barrio Cuyo in Palawan, that embarks a simple relationship-based story to her father, lover and everybody else in their small Barrio. It may be one of Judy Ann’s best performance, a truly remarkable feat for her. Ploning conveys a simple message: Ang pag-ibig ay naghihintay at umaasa, na kahit sa anong paraan, maaari tayong magbigay ng pag-ibig sa lahat ng tao.

2008 World Pyro Olympics - Day 2

What’s with WPO and the rain? I do not know. But ever since the 1st WPO, there is always a day or two where it rains so hard either in the afternoon or right when the first participant is ready to lit the skies, and again we’re dripping, soaked, wet!

But just like in the previous WPO’s (especially the 1st WPO), people stood their ground and never left their places, who cares about the rain when you are about to see one of the world’s best fireworks? The crowd started to

The Fifteen Best Comic Book Movies of All Time! (Nos. 10-6)

April 29, 2008

iron man week

Like all great movie trilogies, the second movie has to live up to the first, and maybe even try to surpass it. It also has to build the story and the conflict for the third movie’s awesome finish. On top of all that, it has to stand on its own. It has to be a strong enough movie so it won’t feel like just a bridge connecting two towers of AWESOME. That’s a lot of responsibility for a movie. Thank God this isn’t a movie. This is the second part of Cinemabuzz, Comicology, and Face Rockery’s collaborative list of the 15 Best Comic Book Movies of All Time! HAHAHAHAaaaiiineed a drink.

Now, before we start, make sure you’ve read the first part of the list over at Cinemabuzz. If you haven’t done that yet, please do so now. … Done? Awesome. Let’s go.

Face-Rocking Covers #12: Iron Man

April 28, 2008

iron man week

There’s no better way to bring back my totally useless blog series, Face-Rocking Covers, than the first day of this most momentous week: IRON MAN WEEK YAY! Obviously, we’ll be taking a look at some of ol’ Shellhead’s old face-rocking comic book covers. The Invincible One didn’t catch the fancy of the general public until the movie was announced, which baffles me since Iron Man is one rockin’ mofo. Observe:

iron man

One of the most suspenseful covers ever. Seriously. It’s a dude trying to get his normal clothes off and desperately trying to put on his suit of armor… WHILE FALLING TO HIS CERTAIN DEATH! If only he thought of bringing this thing called a “parachute”.

Free Software to Increase Traffic to Your Blog

April 27, 2008

Here’s a free software for you guys (download link below) who would like help boost traffic to your blogs. It practically enables you to search a keyword and the blogs that are related to that keyword you typed in. You will be able to quickly find the blogs that are “up there” in the ranks and you can start putting comments to their blogs to increase your own blog’s exposure. As illustrated below -

1. type a keyword related to your blog. i.e. “pinoy”

2. type in your domain name (this is related to point #4)

3. PR stands for “page rank”

4. if you typed your domain name in point #2, it will show if that domain name has links with the top blogs. In this case www.i-filipino.com doesn’t have any links with the top blogs

5. you can see the highest ranking blog related to the keyword “pinoy” - in this case it is “sunstar.com.ph/specials/election” (the lower the number, the higher the ranking)
