The ‘Hangtime’ Move by Deuts Ambuscade

deuts — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 22:57:23 +0000

Deuts Ambuscade is Brewing Coffee in the Air.

Wearing jersey no. 8, Deuts Ambuscade of the San Antonio Spurs gets past three defenders in this impressive move to the basket.

Okay, not to confuse with the real life NBA, this was just a clip from my favorite Playstation 3 game, the NBA 2k9. Deuts Ambuscade was a created player of mine and a superstar playing for the San Antonio Spurs.

Sungha Jung: The Next Youtube Sensation?

deuts — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 07:43:57 +0000

As is usually the case, what determines the success of a great musician is how great he/she is at his favorite musical instrument as well as at singing. They usually go together. The chances of success when you’re only playing an instrument is lower than when you can do both well at your instrument and singing.

Oftentimes, in a rock band or any musical band for that matter, the vocalist becomes more popular than everyone else.

The number of artists who are popular for their singing (some even no nothing about the piano or guitar) far exceeds the number of artists who are only known for their craft in guitar, piano, drums, and other musical instruments.

So, if you ask me, will Sungha Jung be the next Youtube sensation? I’m not really sure. I’m quite pessimistic on this. He might already be a sensation with millions of views for each of his videos on Youtube. At a young age, he surely plays the guitar very well. Watch this video as he played Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean:

But he’s not the only kid to play the guitar (or any musical instrument for that matter) very well at such a young age. Some of which we’ve already seen in Youtube, while some we are yet to see in the future. We’ve seen our very own (a Filipino) Enzo play “Flight of the Bumble Bee” when he was 10 years old:

He might not be as ~~exaggerated~~ amazing as Maksim, but you see he was only 10. (BTW, he played it once again when he was 13, watch it here.)

Anyway, my point is, if Sungha Jung wants to take this Youtube limelight to the next level, he should learn to sing.

The Shallow Story Behind Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

deuts — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 10:20:25 +0000

I watched the Transformers 2 the other weekend, and my impression about it, it got a very shallow storyline. It got one straightforward story, added with action-packed scenes and some drama.

This was supported by the review over at Yahoo!:

“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” made over $200 million last week. What it didn’t make, however, was one lick of sense.

The review, entitled: “Burning Questions: The 10 Most Confusing Things in ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’“, my favorite was no. 9:

Sam briefly dies and goes to Robot Heaven. Robot Heaven?!?!

I find the list very true in every case. How I just wish I could copy and paste the whole article here. But, nevertheless, visit the original article here and read them for yourself and be entertained.

That was one example of a bad movie. How I wish I just waited for bootleg copies instead. I could have saved myself some money.

Sherlock Holmes Turned into an Action Star

deuts — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 09:59:24 +0000

I used to love reading Sherlock Holmes stories. He was witty, smart, he introduced the science of deduction. But I never imagined him to be an action star.

Some of the comments found in the youtube page criticizing the trailer (thus, the movie), which I agree as well:

Why is Sherlock Holmes bare-knuckle boxing? This looks like a ludicrous, horrific murder of an english literary great.

I agree. They ruined a master-piece and turned it into a farce. They turned aristocratic, intelligent, and modest Holmes, into some Bourne, or James Bond figure. Can’t watch this.

Of course, in Chapter 2, “Mr. Sherlock Holmes”, of the first book, “A Study in Scarlet”, Dr. Watson described Sherlock Holmes as an “expert singlestick player, boxer, and swordsman”. But in the movie, I would least expect him to be an action super hero.

The film makers, I guess, have to do this to put more drama and excitement, to the extent of painting another image of the great legend, “Mr. Sherlock Holmes”.

The Most Celebrated Video Scandal of 2009

deuts — Fri, 22 May 2009 18:51:38 +0000

Perhaps you reached this page hoping to get maybe even a glimpse of the video I’m talking about. Well I’m sorry to disappoint you but you won’t get to watch any video here nor get any link to the videos.

Anyway, in the recent developments, Dr. Hayden Kho expressed his apology and regret over the whole scandal in an interview by GMA Network. I wonder though, did he regret for recording the video beyond the awareness of his partner or for failure to have discovered beforehand about truecrypt?

TrueCrypt is a software application used for real-time on-the-fly encryption. It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file or a device-hosted encrypted volume on either an individual partition or an entire storage device. It supports Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (using FUSE) and encrypted volumes can be made portable. The version for Windows Vista or XP can encrypt the boot partition or entire boot drive and has the ability to create and run a hidden encrypted operating system whose existence is deniable.

You may want to read about my earlier post, “Auditor and Technology; Importance of Data Security“.

Okay, don’t get me wrong. I believe that recording a video of your sexual act beyond the awareness and consent of your partner is plain “retarded-ness” at best (I mean there could be worse descriptions). And failure to secure and encrypt those stupid videos is a grave blunder.

Acapella Video: The Voca People

deuts — Wed, 13 May 2009 15:19:52 +0000

Here’s an amazing video from youtube, an acapella from the group called “The Voca People”. I’m still wondering how they do the drums and beats sounds.

The Filipinos I’m sure are more talented and I still have to watch out for that video. Bring on the Pinoy style!

Ricky Hatton Interviewed in Bisaya

deuts — Mon, 04 May 2009 16:08:44 +0000

I never thought this could be possible. But he was fluent at it. LOL.

This was supposed to be a video before the actual fight. I can barely understand the whole conversation (could someone translate this please?). But I admire the timing of the audio and video. I can imagine the effort in putting up this funny youtube video.

Duha ka round gale hah…..LOL…

Manny Pacquiao Knocks Out Ricky Hatton in Round 2

deuts — Sun, 03 May 2009 11:15:16 +0000

It was a very short fight that on twitter:

@Pimplepopper: Lesson learned: if u buy tickets to a pacquiao fight, watch the undercard fights to make the most of the admission price.

Lesson learned indeed. For those wanting to watch the two short videos of the fight but are behind office firewalls or proxy server that makes youtube and other video sharing sites inaccessible, good thing you can access this site. Just come visit again for more!

Round 1

Round 2

Congratulation Manny!

Barangay Ginebra – The Immortal Team

deuts — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 15:39:10 +0000

I have to admit, I was a big fan of Barangay Ginebra in the Philippine Basketball Association, especially the team of the years circa 1996-1998. The team that was immortalized by the songs of Bayang Barrios and Gary Granada. The team whose game results either make or break my day.

Those were the days that I used to watch closely the developments in the league.

As a tribute to my favorite team, here are the songs and a video:

Pag Nananalo Ang Ginebra

[See post to listen to audio]

Sinusundan ko ang bawat laro
Ng koponan kong naghihingalo
Sa bawat bolang binibitaw
Di mapigilang mapapasigaw

Kahit hindi relihiyoso
Naaalala ko ang mga santo
O San Miguel, Santa Lucia
Sana manalo ang Ginebra

Ngunit ang aga nilang nagkalat
Bawat diskarte nasisisilat
Nagkasundo kaming magkakampi
Na ang labo kasi ng referee

Ang barangay parang napeste
Natambakan agad kami ng bente
Parang bansa’y nagkaleche-leche
At nareelect ang presidente

Pagbigyan nyo na ako
Paminsan-minsan lang ito
Gumaang ang nabibigatang puso
Pagbigyan nyo na ako
Sa munting hilig kong ito
Kung hindi baka mag-away pa tayo

Nang 2nd half ay nag-umpisa
Nag-umpisa ang ratsada nila
Ipit na pukol ni Noli Locsin
Kahit finoul, pasok pa rin

Ang double-team nila’y walang epekto
Sa alee hoop at alahoy ni Marlou
Sunod-sunod sa magkabilang kanto
3 points ni Hizon at Jarencio

Opensa ay nasasaling
Sa hustle ni Mackie at Benny Cheng
Halos ang bola ay di makatawid
Sa mga nakaw ni Flash David

Ang execution ay swabeng-swabe
Sa mga plays ni Coach Jaworski
Biglang umugong ang buong palibot
Mukhang maglalaro na rin si Dudut

Pagbigyan nyo na ako
Paminsan-minsan lang ito
Gumaang ang nabibigatang puso
Pagbigyan nyo na ako
Kahit na kahit paano
Sumaya ng bahagya itong mundo

Tatlong minuto pa ang natitira
Nang kami ay nakahabol na
Sa isang iglap nagpalit ng score
Lamang na kami 99-94

Bumabalik sa aking isip
Ang manliligaw ko nuong Grade 6
Napapatawad ko na ang Alaska
Pag nananalo ang Ginebra

O kayganda ng aking umaga
Feeling ko wala akong asawa
At ang dati kong boyfriend ay hiwalay na
Pag nananalo ang Ginebra

Pag Natatalo ang Ginebra

[See post to listen to audio]

Sinusundan ko ang bawat laro
Ng koponan kong naghihingalo
Sa bawat bolang binibitaw
Di mapigilang mapapasigaw

Kahit hindi relihiyoso
Naaalala ko ang mga santo
O San Miguel, Santa Lucia
Sana manalo ang Ginebra

Sa Coliseum at Astrodome
Nakikisiksikan hanggang bubong
Nang-aalaska at nanggugulo
Pag nagfifree throw ang katalo

Ang barangay ay nagdiriwang
Halftime ay kinse ang aming lamang
Cameraman, huwag mo lang kukunan
Si senador at congressman

Pagbigyan nyo na ako
Paminsan-minsan lang ito
Gumaang ang nabibigatang puso
Pagbigyan nyo na ako
Sa munting hilig kong ito
Kung hindi baka mag-away pa tayo

Nang 2nd half ay mag-umpisa
Puro palpak ang tira nila
Offensive foul si Noli Locsin
At si Gayoso na-traveling

Sa kakaibang shorts ni Jaworski
Ay ipinasok ang sarili
Kalagitnaan ng 4th quarter
Tabla ang score 88-all

Drive ni Pido ay nasupalpal
Defense nila na-technical
Parang gumuho ang aking daigdig
Nang maagawan si Bal David

Nang bumusina ng last 2 minutes
3 points ni Hizon ay nagmintis
Kunsumisyon ay nagpatong-patong
Graduate si Marlou at si Ong

Pagbigyan nyo na ako
Paminsan-minsan lang ito
Gumaang ang nabibigatang puso
Pagbigyan nyo na ako
Kahit na kahit paano
Sumaya ng bahagya itong mundo

24 seconds, lamang ng lima
ang kalaban, bola pa nila
Dumidilim ang aking paningin
Ang tenga ko ay nagpapanting

Bumabalik sa aking isip
Ang nakaaway ko noong Grade 6
Parang gusto ko nang magkagiyera
Pag natatalo ang Ginebra

Galit ako sa mga pasista
Galit ako sa imperyalista
Feel na feel kong maging aktibista
Pag natatalo ang Ginebra
