Early X-mas bonus..

Earlier today we recieved a memo from the higher-ups that the 13th month pay would be given to us a bit earlier then scheduled. The memo goes like:

"Due to the damages inflicted by Typhoon Ondoy on our Cainta and Novaliches communities, we are making an early payment of the earned portion of your 13th month bonus. If your assigned work location is Cainta or Novaliches, you will recieve the earned portion (Jan-Sept) of your 13th month bonus through a special payroll run on Wednesday..."

I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing..

It's great that I'm going to get my bonus early (More money before my BDAY) but it's sad knowing I'll be getting this cash because of a storm that destroyed the lives of hundreds of people..

It's not for me anyway, some of my colleagues affected by the flood need all the help they can get. As I'm writing this they're actually waiting for me because i promised to help them get a "CALAMATY LOAN". I never even knew there was such a thing. Gotta leave now.. c'ya.

BLACK ★ ROCK SHOOTER: Anime Pilot!

Finally after months of waiting, the anticipated B★RS anime Pilot is set to be released today SEPT 30.

I first learned about B★RS when I attended a cosplay con where there was this young lady wearing skimpy clothes, a trench coat, and holding an extremely huge gun. It was interesting when they had her pose next to HARD GAY php. Hehe..



And so I looked it up and found this really addictive song that started it all.



This was the first 3D PV voiced by vocaloid Miku Hatsune.

Now it was announced that an official anime was on the way. I couldn't help myself. The teasers were more than enough to get me excited. Here are some screen shots.

Seems like we'll get a treat on her mysterious origin..


...and cool fight scenes...



...and b-b-bondage?!

Hehe.. I can't wait to see it. Hopefully someone uploads a copy for torrent today. I'll even go for raws. Someone out there, please....

Is this the first time you heard about B★RS?
Did you like the video?
What do you think of her?

Typhoon Ondoy

Probably the most terrible typhoon since Typhoon Milenyo and Rosing, Typhoon Ondoy hits hard in Metro Manila.




This storm is a big one according to http://www.inquirer.net/. I tried to access PAGASA's website but I got "PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED" instead. Surprise, surprise.





POINTS OF INTEREST

+Floods all over Metro Manila.
+23 provinces under state of calamity
+Christine Reyes' makati home drowns in flood leaving her waiting rescue on the roof
+Commuters everywhere gets stranded.
+SM fairview's many holes on their roof reveal themselves. Shops closed early.

Tragic quote for the day:

“Sana may dumating na rescue kasi kanina pa kami dito ng 1 p.m. Kapag hindi pa tumigil ang ulan aabutin na kami sa roof. Hindi ko alam anong gagawin namin,”
-Chritine Reyes in a phone interview with ABS-CBN News on Saturday tearfully appealing for rescue teams to help them.

How were you affected by the storm?

Anime News: Unlimited Blade Works

September seems to be a great month. I just got my inspiration back and all it took was a comment in one of my previous blog. Thank you so much Ms. Papurr Cat!

Now I've been playing FATE/STAY NIGHT PC game for the past month now. I know it's an old game and it's night quite the genre I was into but my brother got me started on it and... Maybe that's a story for another blog. Anyway...

The second scenario of FATE/STAY NIGHT, Unlimited Blade Works, gets an ANIME treatment, not a series but a movie! Hoo-ha! The first scenario got me really, really bored. But unlimited blade works makes it all worth it.



The poster doesn't say much though but if you've watched the anime you'll know that UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS is the Noble Phantasm of Archer, one of the more interesting and mysterious characters in the story. All the servants' identities were all heroes from the past, some popular, some not so popular (e.g Berserker=Hercules)but archer is not a hero you will find in history books, nor is he even a hero from the past. Hints were given in the first scenario and in the anime series but UBW tells it all.
The tragic story of the servant ARCHER.

Have you you played FATE/STAY NIGHT or just watched the anime?

What scenario do you think was better: FATE, UBW, or HEAVEN'S FEEL?

Unlimited Blade Works is set for a January 23, 2010 release.

HAPPY 2nd at DELL!!!

2years! Huwaw! I never imagined I could endure 2 long years working for a computer company. I never was computer savvy to begin with. Now I know more about fixing computers than my cousin who graduated BS Computer Science. Hehe.. Bragging aside, this past two years has been quite an experience. I've been transferred to different departments many times now but it feels great being one of the few people still left here. Most employees have moved on to other companies. I don't see myself leaving anytime soon though, and since it's Payday today, I think i'll treat myself the the new TERIYAKI BOY that just opened in the mall nearby.

Ittadakimasu!

Windows 7- Training (complete!)

Today was the last day of our WINDOWS 7 training. We are now trained professionals for windows 7! If you're like my dad, you'd be surprised that another windows is coming out this October 2009. That's right, and just when WINDOWS VISTA just came out 2007. Hmm.. Let's just say that a lot of people weren't satisfied with WINDOWS VISTA and WINDOWS 7 is Microsoft's way of appeasing the the angry mod. So now we have WINDOWS 7. Said to be better and faster than VISTA. They realeased a BETA version for a limited time to see how people would react first. Hehehe.. I guess people really learn from ther mistakes.



Here's a Video of what Windows 7 in action and great features.

For more information on the features Visit the home page:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/features/default.aspx


Have you even tried using VISTA? My dad hasn't, and my experience with VISTA hasn't made me too enthusiastic about it either but using Win7 is just too cool not share.

So have you already tried WIN7?
Do you think Win7 is better than VISTA?

My brute! Gahrrr!

I always liked playing online games that had that chibi anime-style characters i'm so fond of. And now our office is plagued by the mybrute fever.

Hehehe... A kawaii flash-based game where all you have to do is get a brute warrior character and use it to fight everyday. It won't sound much when I tell you you could only challenge other characters 6 times when you first create the character and 3 times during the following days. But there's no limit to how many characters would dare challenge you.
