Fantasy world

If you were given a chance to live in a game. Which game would you choose to live in?

I'd choose to live in mass effect. I want to live as sheperd and get them girls..... Just joking. I want to be a badass soldier who's capable of saving a world from alien invaders equal to a god. I want to bring hope to people and let them know that they can fight back the invaders.

The world today is twisted. Full of holes both emotionally and philisophically. Governments are corrpt, authorities doing power trips and overuses their authority. This world is hell in disguise. And we can't ever change it till we do something.

That's why fantasy worlds exists. Ideal worlds that people want to have and experience. A perfect world where in pain and anguish doesn't exist. For me, they exist as a sample. And when a person has taken a liking to this perfect world, they will try to remake this world into the perfect world they sought it to be.

Ideas give rise to convictions, convictions turns into actions and action changes everything around you.

So be careful as to what world you wish for. Because you might get something you won't like. Instead, choose carefully. Visualize a better world and do something to make it come true.

Zombies are real

In movies, zombies are immortal non-living creatures which lurk all of earth to look for living humans to feast. And once they are bitten, they too will become zombies themseleves. Now here's the question, are they real? They are not. Though the people of 21st century are living as if they're zomebies.

People now a days have phones. And phones have apps in them, from business to games. Name it and there's one or bound to be one. When people walk the streets, they would just hold their phone and walk straight forward until they reach their destination. They walk without paying attention to their surroundings, without giving a damn to the events that are currently occuring around them. Just like zombies. And the way they infect people, is by buying their relatives android or apple phones and teaching them how to use them without control. And then they too will become zombies who would roam the earth till they reach their destination while ignoring the things that are happening around them.

For me, people should put down their phones once in a while and observe their surroundings. Helping those who are in need if necessary while making the right calls to avoid danger. And speaking of danger, put the freaking phones down when crossing streets. Tons of people have died crossing streets because their attentions were in their phones.

Think before you act, and when crossing the road, please make sure to pay attention to you surroundings. And make sure that you wont get hit by a random car.

Generosity is a heroes downfall

When a crisis arrives, there will always be an unexpected hero to arrive. A person who has a strong urge for doing what is right and believing that his ideals are correct. that was General Luna.

General Antonio Luna is a Philippine hero. He is really loyal to his country, was really smart and courageous and had an emotional character. Generally speaking, when it came to war, his strategies were on par with Zhuge Liang and many other great tacticians. Or may be even better. But when it came to his life outside the battlefield, he was really emotional. and.... he loves playing the guitar.

When the philippines were under constant attack by the spaniards, Antonio was the one who was holding the line. His prowess in the battlefield has no equal.

He dedicated his life in protecting the filipinos no matter what battles and challenges he had to face.

He died a tragic death. He was killed by a fellow filipino for trying to protect them. His intentions were pure but the people around him had different views about him. So I guess, being a hero has cons which weighs more than the pros of being one.

if you want to know more about this hero, then watch General luna.

APC's anti smoking campaign




Smoking. Is it good? Or is it bad? It is scientifically proven that it subtracts 7 minutes of your life every puff. So i guess it is bad. But it still depends on people's perspective. Some people use it as a means of time killer or lets them be at peace. But there's no such thing as something so good that has no negative effects at all. So it subtracts 7 mins of your life every puff :)

Smoking can be seen everywhere, whether it be streets or sidewalks, even outside the university. Or sometimes near a university in a smoking area. Like something that the APC has. A smoking area. A place where students can smoke all they want. I guess people there kind of know each other by now. They do see each other everytime they smoke. I can see some profs who smoke there too. 

They know the effects of smoking and how badly it can affect the body. But they still do it. Why? I can only guess of one answer. Addiction. Cigarrettes have these chemicals called nicotine in them. It causes the user to feel relaxed. It is also very addicting. Even if you wanted to stop, you cant. It's like drugs. Once you're into it, it's hard to turn from it.

So how can you stop? Well, my father was once a heavy smoker in the past. So i saw him buy cigarrettes for those who would wish to quit. And those cigarrettes are way more powerful than the normal ones. So at first he was stopping, but he stilled craved for the nicotine. So he looked and looked for a solution. And then he found the electronic cigarrette. Less nicotine and less danger than the normal ones. And the smoke that the e-cig are not considered as 2nd hand smoking. The smoke released is vapor. They oftenly have flavors so they don't irritate the nose much. 

But still, in APC, i see tons of students smoking. It's not that i judge them but i know the negative effects. And i dont want to see my fellow schoolmates subtracting their own lives. So if i were to be asked, i would want them to stop. But of course, it's still up to them.

Everyone has a choice to do whatever they want to do. So choose to live. 

wanna get buffed?

Ever thought of working out to get those abs and the body build that you so badly wanted to have? And then you get lazy and end up not working out at all? Well it's perfectly normal. That really happens. Well, almost to oftenly. Why do people want those types of bodies? Well, some want those because they want to show something off when they take their clothes of. Most especially at the beach where almost every guy is topless and every woman is wearing her bikini.

Some want those for their martial art. Having a hard body is a big thumbs up for those who have martial arts. It can take more hits than the average body. And is faster, stronger and more limber than normal ones. These people train their bodies to kick your ass in a fight.

Others are jealous of people who have the body they want to have. So they use them as inspirations to workout and try to get or surpass the body that person has.

And then, there are those who just want to have a perfect body because they want to. Not because of an external catalyst but something that occured within them by itself. In other words, they want to surpass themselves. And i think that is the reason all of us should have. We should not think that we have to surpass this person so that i can fully say that im a better person. Or wanting to show it off to others and make them feel jealous or impressed by what we have. We should focus on surpassing ourselves. Compare ourselves to who we were before. And get better in every aspect.

Your enemy is no one but yourself. So keep on polishing the skills you have developed today and make new ones tom. Same goes with your body. Keep on making it better by the moment. If you have 4 packs right now, challenge youself and try to get a 6 pack. If your kick is weak today, try to make it stronger tomorrow.

Keep on working out.

Hope and despair

There are always opposites like light and darkness, positive and negative, happiness and sadness. And then there's emotions. So much opposites but the two im going to compare and share are hope and despair.

Hope and despair are two sides of a coin. Hope can not exist if despair is not present and vice versa. Yet we all hate despair. why? Is it because we wont get what we hope for? Is it because we are forced to accept a reality we don't want to experience? That's all part of that, but. The one thing we hate the most is when we are incapable of doing anything to change the outcome. Or even if we do something, it won't be enough to change the conclusion. We hate being powerless. I hate watching things unfold without me being able to do anything. That's why there's hope.

Hope is always there. In places we can't seem to find when our eyes our covered by the fogs of despair. But when we clear our minds and think logically, the right path will unfold before us and in there lies hope. And when we're given hope, we can change our futures.

Hope has the power to change people's lives and change fate itself. It is a catalyst which is able to bring out the talents an individual has and change all that is around him. It has full of possibilities, so much that the number of outcomes are almost immeasurable. Hoping is amazing.

So whatever the situation may be, whether it be impossible or possible, keep on hoping. Keep on pushing your limits and keep on doing your best no matter what. Choose to hold on to hope than drown in despair.

Rejection sucks

They say that there's a time for everything. A time to hate and a time to love. A time to play and a time to be serious. A time to watch and a time to act and do something. And then a time of rejection? Oh wow. just.... wow. Even after all the efforts you made? REALLY?!?! EVERYTHING goes to the trash?!?!?! oh... sorry about that. ANYWAY...

Rejection is no ordinary thing. Especially if the receiver had so much efforts just to see a future they were working so hard to accomplish. Like men. When they court someone with all that they have, they give it their all. Sacrificing themselves just to be with someone who they love. Doing almost anything just to see them happy and then they're friendzoned?!?!?! Wtf? really? why.. why would you do this? you could have said something from the 1st place. And our efforts wouldn't have been for naught. Why do loyal men always get rejected and playboys are always accepted? Do you really want bad boys that much? WHOOOAAAA... hold on to your stakes and forks girls. Im not yet done.

Getting rejected might be painful, but we must always consider why they did it. Dont just think that they did this because they dont like me. Or maybe that my efforts wasn't enough. Or i was just plain ugly. DONT THINK THAT WAY. There's always a reason for everything. Some of their reasons might be logical. Like wanting a good future and studying all the way till they get a high paying job and then come back to you and start the relationship you're waiting for. Or maybe, they want to be better first so that they wont hurt you in the end. SO MUCH REASONS. Yet the results are still the same. The receiver will always be hurt. The receiver will always have a life changing moment and will be forced to change based on the situation they faced which led them to their rejection. This is one of the reasons why loyal men sometimes turn into playboy assholes and play with almost everyone. Revenge? no. More like being confident in a better person they've become. A person who won't be rejected anymore. Changing into those kinds of men is still a choice though. And everyone has the right to choose how to live their lives.

Rejection is painful. It hurts a lot. A LOT. But it doesn't really matter. Rejections is normal. The only question that matters is, how will you deal with it? :)

Fight or flight

Have you ever been in a fight? If you have, then have you thought of ideas and what actions to do to achieve victory? Did the words, "can I really beat him?" occur in your mind? Then dont fret. Being in a fight is perfectly normal. And running from one is normal as well.

They say that when people fight, adrenaline kicks in and clouds your decisions. and the only choices you have is to either fight or run. Running is the easy way out, but if you choose to fight, it will be a solution to end all conflicts now. And will be the hardest way out. Choosing to fight means using your physical strength and fighting experiences to put down your opponent. But that's not all, there's also the mental warfare.Taunting, words exchanged while fighting and certain movements to make an opponent come closer. Those are not dirty moves, it's a strategy used to make your opponents drop their guards and get a chance to put them down.

Fighting is not just a barbaric way to settle things. It is a way of expressing your ideals and beliefs in a physical way. Every punch you throw, every kick you make, every time you tackle, all those actions have emotions in them. And by the time the recieving end receives it, they feel the emotions you put into them. Whether it be sadness or just plain anger, conviction to protect another or love, all of it will be felt.

Yes, one can fight another for the sake of love. Not just in a romantic way, but because that someone is close to you. There are tons of reasons as to why you would fight a friend. But the only time i had to beat up a friend was because i wanted him to wake up from the nightmare he created himself. He was screwing around with girls. Well i cant really blame him at first. But still. Women are supposed to be respected! Whether they demand it or not, gentlemen are supposed to respect them in every way. I may not be perfect but i'm still trying. And when i myself am unknowingly disrepecting a girl, he's the on who corrects me. Well, he did beat me up at some point to :)) So seeing him do those things made me angry. I didn't want him inflicting pain to others most especially women. I didn't want our right ideals go wrong. So i had to do what i had to do as his friend. In the end, he came back to his senses after a month or so then apologized to those he hurt.

Fight for what you believe in. But make sure it is right.

And if you realize that you are wrong, be mature enough to back down from a fight and learn from the other side. Pride is one thing but maturity is what makes a person a better human being.

APC SPEAKS at it's finest

Joining organizations is part of living a happy college life. Most especially when that organization means a lot to you and lets you learn at the same time. Organizations are supposedly there to help you to grow and mature. They are your building blocks.

Each organizations have different approaches. Just like the organization i joined. The one named APC SPEAKS. This organization has two clusters. And those are the debate and Public speaking cluster.

When i was being screened for the first time in APC SPEAKS, i was honestly not ready. A friend of mine just referred that organization to me since it's going to help us in our english efficiency big time. Sooo... There.... Why not? I wont lose anything if i try right? The screening was composed of 4 things (if i remember right). The first one was introducing yourself to the judges, second was doing a speech about a certain topic that they will give, the third one would be debating about a certain topic that they too will give and the last one would be the results. The first one was kind of a synch. The second was was ok. The third one was a challenge! I hated debates. So i thought i failed that portion. And the last one was nerve wrecking. They told me to wait for the results to be released next week. So the whole week i was worrying id i passed it or not. When next week came, i was told by a friend that i passed. And so the heavy burden that was in my chest was instantly dropped.

When training in APC SPEAKS started, they made us do speeches and fun activities. They also balanced the seriousness of the atmosphere in the org. Ice breaker games were used to make us feel relaxed and activities would be given later. But when real activities were given, that's when everyone goes on serious mode. They make good speeches with everything they have. And when we recite in front, there will be flaws but there will also be good quirks, good remarks and bad remarks. They made us know our mistakes and sought out to correct them. I actually find their method bold and fun. Like there is no need to hold back. Just say it if you found a fault or something in the speech that i made. That way, i can change and make it better.

APC SPEAKS is a fun org to be in. So if you want to be better in debates or speaking to a crowd, then APC SPEAKS is the org for you.

Paradise in hell called college. Ver. APC

Stress, homework, projects, exams and speeches. Those are just a few things that each college student experience in their college life. Questions then pop up when we experience hardships in college. Questions like, why do we have to go through this? Why do i have to encounter and defeat a demon called "thesis" someday? and Lastly, do i really have to do this? The short answer is: YES! HECK YES! challenges and obstacles are one of the things that makes us stronger and more mature. They help us grow in every way and molds us into better versions of ourselves. Without challenges, it would be like living in a world wherein you wont ever learn anything new and your ideals won't be tested and corrected when wrong. College is the epitome of challenges for students. They will either make you grow exponentially or break you. Different types of colleges have different approaches to their students. Just like APC

In APC, they will let you two choices. You will either learn to manage your time wisely and balance your social life from your studies or you will fail and repeat again and again unless you learn how to manage your time wisely. The professors are all well trained. Masters in their fields and some are almost in the level of mastery. Each have different ways of teaching but all have the same outcome they want to attain. And that is to let their students learn A LOT from them. Being able to hand down the knowledge and wisdom they have to their students is a joyous event for them. So respect and look up to our professors in APC. Some might seem scary at first, but i bet that they just want you to learn.

Being in this university is actually quite fun. There are tons of events wherein the student body will be required to attend. Some would be seminars and events! Parties are also held here. Like, a LOT.   APC supports them so much that there'll be a frosh night on august, 14. 2015!

APC may not be a stress free environment, but its surroundings is well balanced. A library for those who would want to study, a lounge for those who just want to hang around and chill for a bit and a canteen for those who would want to eat and chill.

This place may not be perfect, but it is the most suitable place in pursuit of perfection.

My thoughts about counter strike

We all love shooting games. Shoot your enemies on the head, hide between spaces or dodge bullets. Most especially when you play it with friends. But what if this games has online features and is played by all? Then meet counter strike.

A shooter game so originial, that many games were produced because it was the base of it all.

Immerse yourself in a shooter games with your friends and shoot each other to death till the other team wins. Or if the terrorists plant the bomb and make it explode before you kill them all. We all know that all we play is de_dust 1 and 2.

then, if you're tired of playing the normal way, you can open up your console then type up sv_cheats 1 enter, then type god 1 then enter. And play as the immortal mvp in your team while pissing of your friends in the other team for being a total ass.

If you're looking for the mother of all shooting games while having fun with it's gameplay, then counter strike is the game for you

my thoughts on 2fuse

Android games and iphone games have never been so fun when math and games were both incorporated into one. Most especially if it's just 1+1=2. Like the concept? Then my readers, meet 2fuse

A game so addicting, that a minute of gameplay will consume you a day for pressing the restart all day trying to beat your previous score. It is so immersive that you wont realize how much games you've already done and how much time you've already wasted.

Experience a game so unique, that you have never experienced 1+1 as a life changing equation.

Then observe your phone as you try to stop. And you then realize that the fingerprints are perfectly printed on your screen. 

Wanting more upgrades and items for use, you will then be forced to play more and more till you realize that the sun is no longer up there. But if you're lazy as fuck, you then buy it in the market.

So if you love tapping your phone and enjoys math. Then 2 fuse is the game for you. 

My thoughts on metal gear rising

Hack slash cut and destroy. One of the unique types of gameplay that we gamers look for. But what if it's too much? Like hack slash and FUCKING CUT YOUR ENEMIES INTO A MILLION PIECES? Then my readers, meet Metal gear rising.

Metal gear rising, a game so badass that you can cut your enemies not just in half, but in pieces that when you're done, you won't recognize them anymrore.

Metal gear rising is the game after the stories of metal gear solid. Play as raiden, a cyborg ninja who hacks and slashes his enemies in half while still believing that his sword is a tool for justice.

Then get utterly defeated by a cyborg samurai by getting raiden's left hand cut off. I mean seriously cut off clean.

Come back as an upgraded cyborg ninja and defeat your nemesis and restore world order by killing the man behind the scenes.

Enjoy a gameplay so unique. that it makes DMC look like mario.

Experience raiden's story as an ex-jack the ripper while bringing out his innermost potential. That said, harnessing the ripper inside him making him more than the ripper before/ And can now be considered as a god of death.

if you want a fruit ninja cyborg hd immersive game. Then metal gear rising is the game for you.



My thoughts on Mass effect

We all love love shooter games. We also love games with magic. But what if there's a game with these 2 included? But instead of magic, it's scientific weaponry that looks like magic because it looks so flashy. Then my readers, meet mass effect.

Play as commander shepard and go on a journey in your ship called normandy across the milky way galaxy. Cross planets and solar systems across the galaxy while fighting to protect the citadel(a giant ass space structure supposedly created by an advanced extinct race which is now inhabited by humans and all other kinds of weirdos.).

Enjoy an immersive FPS gameplay with advanced guns and powers called biotics(a scientifically engineered power which lets you lift stuff, destroy stuff and blow stuff with just a move of a hand).

Experience a well made story. A story so badass, that it kills your character at the start of its prequel. No kidding, you die in the beginning of Mass effect 2.(SPOILERS)





Now if you still can't get enough of commander shepard, dont worry. THERE. ARE. TWO. MORE.
And a brand new one still in the works.


If you're a person who loves saving everything, then this is the game for you.

MASS EFFECT.



My thoughts on clash of clans

Build an army, destroy enemy bases and seize victory. Those are the usual conditions that are supposed to be met in strategy based games. But what if those types of games were brought to mobile phones? Added with a couple of gimmicks like a ranking system and the need for an internet connection just to play? Then my readers, allow me to introduce to you guys the game called clash of clans.

Most of you guys must know of this game already. It is so famous that it even had its own commercial. By commercial i meant a couple of commercials. Well.... fine. A LOT of commercials. Many android gamers would usually play this for it's unique and addicting gameplay. COC(clash of clans) is not a complicated game in which you have to know each and every detail just to master it. You just have to be skilled in the art of war when attacking while setting up defenses and traps in your base in the right places as if predicting where your enemy would attack and defend. One more thing about COC, you need to have time just to play it. You can't get stronger if you think that your shield will protect you all day. You have to loot and get money, get stronger and stronger, upgrade your troops and buildings, join a clan and get stronger with them. USE ALL OF YOUR TIME FOR THIS ADDICTING SHIT AND GET YOUR LIFE TAKEN OVER BY CLANS.

uh.. ok. sorry about that. I had some emotional overload because of this game. But i still love playing it though! 

Embark on journey in the clan world, where all you do is nothing but loot, attack, defend, go to war............. AND VICE VERSA.

If you're looking for an immersive game on an android while killing time is also your goal. Then clash of clans is the game for you. GO ON. I KNOW YOU'LL LOVE IT. GET YOUR LIFE TAKEN OVER BY THIS AND GET ADDICTED LIKE A DRUG LORD.

THIS IS CLASH OF CLANS.

My thoughts on dota 2


Playing online games is really mind blowing. Not only do we play for the story, but we also play it for competitions against our fellow gamers and cooperation with them as well. But what if there is less story and more action? Less solo playing like kirito but more cooperation? What if you're playing DOTA 2? Then boy do i have a different opinion about this online game.

Dota 2, a very famous game known for its unique yet immersive gameplay. It is so famous that it can actually be called a sport now. Why? Because this recent tournament's bout was over 15 million dollars! Yes. Dollars. Compared to other games that the only prize you'll get is a trophy, Dota 2 is leagues above it. The prize money is so damn high that players all over the globe do their best just to get a chance to be in one of the tournaments that offers such a prize.

I actually love playing dota 2. Its gameplay would always excite me most especially when all heroes in the map are gathered in one place to fight and kill each other(clash). So much possible gameplay styles with different heroes can also be achieved. The fight to win through strategy and quick thinking is one way to describe this game.



Not to mention that there are exclusive items for certain heroes in dota 2. The prices are surprisingly high. Am item or a couple of sets may cost 8k or more. And some people do buy them because they look so badass and unique.

So if you want to play a strategy based game with full of gimmicks, action, surprises and fun, then dota 2 is the game for you.

Games are gifts?

1 - Evolution caused by games

"Have you ever experienced being told that games will bring you nowhere?"
"Have you ever thought that games will only deteriorate your brain?"
If you have, then boy do i have news for you!

My name is EJ Reyes, a typical hardcore gamer who loves games more than anything else. I play mass effect 3, metal gear rising, dota 2, bioshock, tales series, marvel vs capcom 3, AND A WHOLE LOT MORE. And I too have been told those questions over and over and OVER again. Sometimes it would tick me off, especially if it's my close friends or family members asking me those. So what i did was look into the effects of gaming and what it does to our brains. And to my surprise, the effects were not that bad at all. The effects were actually good!

Games can increase your hand - eye coordination. why? Playing fast paced games will enable your eyes to analyze your opponents movements and make your hands press the appropriate buttons to eliminate that target. Fast - paced games also requires you to press the right buttons at the right time and in a very fast motion.



Games can also increase a player's accuracy. Games train gamers to make faster decisions without losing accuracy. That being said, it also promotes critical thinking and lets the players make the right choices in real life. 

Perseverance can also be gained through games. There will always be times that we will lose to a certain level. The reason for that is because our level isn't high enough or our equipments are not strong enough. And so, we are forced to go back and get stronger and obtain more durable items. That process is called grinding. And it is a very important way of playing in games. Without grinding, players would be stuck to a certain level and would be very weak. And so, players are always forced to persevere whether they like it or not.


And lastly, games teaches us to take risks. Gamers who win in tournaments like DOTA 2, Marvel vs capcom 3, Street fighter IV, etc. would always risk an attack or strategy in order to win their games. Though risking by the word itself is a double edged sword, risking is still a big help to gamers and in our society right now. Without risks, successful businesses right now won't be so big right now. Without risks, your father wouldn't have been able to propose to your mother and made you after. Without risks, you wont be able to have a girlfriend nor have been able to confess to the person you like! There will always be risks. 


Those stated above are few of the many effects of gaming. I wont put them all because i think you already get what im trying to say. So the next time someone tells you that games will bring you nowhere, you can point one finger in the air and point it to my blog. Games changes lives in a good way. They help us mature and get better in every aspect. Sure there are also downsides to games like alchohol content, scenes that aren't supposed to be seen by children, and magical words that children should not learn, but people should understand that those downsides only happen because the players that play those are still immature. Give them time! They will mature more and become better than who they were before. And besides, they always be friends with hardcore gamers who already have years of experience in the gaming world. So whenever they are going through the wrong path, there will be gamers who would correct them and let them mature.

And one last thing, always know your priorities. Yeah games can help you change a lot and mature more. But always remember that studies are supposed to be your priorities. If it's time to study, study! There will always plenty of time to play after assignments, projects, quizzes and exams!

There is always a time for everything. Remember that.
