Ayumi Uehara - cool Japanese model

I've recently come across this pretty Japanese model Ayumi Uehara.

According to Japan Sugoi, Ayumi Uehara 上原歩 is a pretty 27 year old fashion model and actress from Tokyo. She started acting in 2000 and has since appeared on 12 TV shows and is currently appearing in TV Asahi’s Eazy Sports and Otome音女 .

Despite her TV appearances, she has really been more popular as a fashion model regularly appearing in magazines such as S Cawaii and Puckish. She’s also modeled for lingerie maker Ravijour, MTV Pinks, Kobe Collection 2008 Autumn/Winter and appeared on MTV Japan and girlswalker’s Girls Collection vol1 and vol2.

Update: A lot of high res pics are here. Just scroll down the page to see more photo sets.

How to embed flash/SWF files in blogspot/blogger

While creating my last post (engaging and funny Pringles ad! - must see), I faced an issue of how to embed flash files properly in blogspot. The menu buttons when you create your blog post only support image or video, but it is not impossible to embed flash files.

Two easy steps to embed flash (SWF files):
1. Host your SWF files somewhere - I uploaded mine in Google Pages.Take note of the URL of your SWF file. You'll need it. (As example, mine is at http://donelle.gan.googlepages.com/blankCanBeBlank.swf)

2. Edit the HTML in your blog to embed - You'll see that right to the left of Compose, there's an "Edit Html" tab. Click that and put the following code:

Change the URL to your own SWF file location, and change the width and height as needed.

That's it!

Malcolm's - good food, bad customer service

Malcolm's is a restaurant in Salcedo Village, Makati, famous for serving Wagyu beef in many forms. Wagyu Ribeye, Wagyu burger, Wagyu wasabe steak sandwich, Wagyu sirloin, and even Wagyu sisig.

I've eaten there for around 3 times if I remember correctly. While the first experiences were great - except for the price tag - the last one was outright BAD. Here's a breakdown of the events last June 26:

1. I and 6 of my colleagues went to Malcolm's at around 12 noon. We settled in the 2nd floor of the restaurant.
2. The waiter gave us a plate of chips to eat while we gave our orders. The chips were soft, as if they were old. The chips were actually given to us out of a cordoned area in the 2nd floor, and not from the ground floor. We ordered mostly Wagyu sisig (sisig+rice, around P385 per order.)
3. We were having a good time, joking around with one colleague of ours. Another group of my colleagues (there were 6-7 of them) went to Malcolm's around 10 minutes after we went there.
4. One hour after we got to Malcolm's, our orders were still not done. We followed up 3 times, each time, the waiter answers that's it's nearly done. The other group I mentioned in #3 were already eating.
5. The third time we followed-up, the guy said the plating was being prepared. Five minutes after, the plating was still not done. WTF.
6. We went down. Our food was not yet done! The restaurant manager apologized, saying that something wrong happened with their gas. (A few moments after, they handed out a dish of Wagyu sisig to a guy sitting in the ground floor.)
7. A good ten minutes passed by, and our order is still not done. Why were our colleagues able to get their orders quicker? They pre-ordered, Malcolm's said... so we thought it's our mistake.
8. We had already decided to take our food out, after more than 1 hour of staying in Malcolm's. They were kind enough to take off the service charge.
9. When we got back to the office, some of our orders missed spoons and forks. WTF again.
10. So we asked our colleagues (the other guys who ate at Malcolm's) if they did some sort of pre-ordering. THEY DIDN'T. Malcolm's fooled us.

I don't want to eat there again.

Michael Jackson - my favorite songs

Transformers 2 - thoughts and vids

My review of Transformers 2 will come this weekend, but since Transformers 2 is now showing, I decided to go find something funny about it. Here are some of them :)

1. Stop motion video of Bumblebee beating the living s**t out of Optimus Prime.

Nice! Kick to the balls!

2. Jaw-dropping speed painting of Optimus Prime by Nico di Mattia.

Check out other di Mattia speed painting vids: the classic Transformers 1 Megan Fox hood scene, Bumblebee.

3. How about Optimus Prime dancing?


4. Funny transformers commercial for Double A, a paper brand.

A whole gamut of more videos is here.

5. How about Transformers 3? This news article says that if a third movie will be made, it will still be directed by Michael Bay, and Shia Labeouf said the movie "will be darker" and that "someone has to die."

6. The official music video of "New Divide" the Linkin Park song for Transformers 2.


7. Hot MOKO Transformers-themed photoshoot!! Sample pic below:


That's all for now folks!

David Blaine street magic youtube edition!

This is a very funny take on David Blaine's street magic performances. Since part 4 is coming out soon, I'd better post the first three parts! This is #1.

Cue David Blaine's "wanna see some magic?"

PC assembly is the way to go when buying a PC

My cousin recently bought a computer by buying individual parts. Since he was quite busy, he asked me and my brother to assemble the pieces together, and test it out.

Upon assembly of the PC, I was quite impressed by both its beauty and computing power. The good thing is: it's cheap! Here is a rundown of the parts, and how much each costs:

1. Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.8 GHz, 3MB Cache 1066fsb qdr box (lga775) C2D -> P5500, 3yr warranty

2. Memory: 2 GB of RAM, Kingston, DDR2-800 pc2-6400 -> P1250, 1yr warranty

3. Graphics Card: Inno3d 9500GT, 1GB, 128 bit -> P2360, 1yr warranty

4. Hard Disk: 320GB, Seagate 16MB SATA HDD (SATA cables excluded) -> P2350, 2yr warranty

5. Motherboard: ASUS P5KPL-AM intel g31 (LGA 775 ->)P2600, 1yr warranty

6. DVD drive: Samsung DVD Writer, 22x dvdrw dual layer pata ls lightscribe black -> P1300, 3wk outright, 10mo warranty

7. Monitor: Samsung, 20” LCD wide (glossy) d-sub/DVI -> P7500, 3d outright, 1yr warranty

8. Speaker: Creative SBS 380 -> P1030, 3d outright, 3mo warranty

9. Printer: HP Deskjet 2560 usb -> P1980, 3d outright, 3d warranty

10. Keyboard & Mouse: Logitech G1 Gaming Desktop -> P1250, 2wk outright, 3m warranty

Pretty good specs, right? The thing ran Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Red Alert 3 without a hitch. I can even play Warcraft 3 and surf using Firefox while having WC3 minimized. Must be wicked for the pocket too, don’t you think? If you haven't done the math yet: the total is around 29,000 pesos! I was initially under the impression that you can't get a decent computer undre 50K, but I guess the times have now changed.

In the future, just how much cheaper will computers get?

Mybrute - weak brutes running list (part 2)

OK, so here's part 2 of my mybrute weak brutes list (part 1 is here). By the term "weak brutes" I generally refer to brutes that have no skills, few weapons, which results to a low # of victories.

This part is for brutes that are at least level 7.

If you're reading this, and you have a brute, pupil me here, and I'll pupil you back. Just post your brute's links in the comments. Thanks!

1. morkern (lvl 7)


2. deadums (lvl 7, and has 1 dog)

3. ashacap (lvl 7) - this brute may have quite a # of skills, but all her recent matches are defeats.
4. Kalbitch (lvl 9)
9. Ducho (lvl 9, and has 1 dog)

Swine flu/A H1N1 information booklet

Good reading material on swine flu or A H1N1, from the UN.

Some key highlights I'd like to point out from the file are:
How does H1N1 spread?
-> the same way as ordinary flu, person to person by coughing or sneezing, touching something with flu virus and touching your nose or mouth.
What should I do to keep getting infected?
-> wash your hands! stay in good general health, be physically active, manage stress, drink plenty of fluid, eat nutritious food, and avoid contact with sick people.

Funny chat with Elbot

So I'm chatting with Elbot for fun, and here's a rather amusing message between me and Elbot!

Me: So you're a gay
Elbot: You seem to be extremely interested in this theme. I wonder why...

Elbot is an AI program that can "chat" with you. Hours of countless fun, I must say. :)

Mybrute - weak brutes running list (part 1 of more to come)

This is a list of weak brutes in mybrute.com to help you level up your own brutes. The principle is simple: beating a brute at most 2 levels below you will give you 2 experience points, beating brutes more than 2 levels below you or being defeated gives you 1 experience points.

I'm going to post some of the weaker brutes I have seen along with a screenshot of their skills and weapons. I'll post more soon. If you know of more brutes, please add it in the comments. Thanks!

(part 2 of the weak brute series is here)

1. Giolol (lvl 5)

2. Speeddriver (lvl 6)

3. Lord Sanada (lvl 7)




4. 4ul3 (lvl 7)


5. Death Star (lvl 10)

The severity of H1N1 (aka Swine Flu) in DLSU

So how severe is the H1N1 problem in DLSU? It turns out to be not as severe as the panic that surrounds it.

I just emailed Br Armin Luistro, and he said that "There is not much danger even for residents like the Brothers. We merely suspended classes as a precautionary measure to ensure that there will be limited public gatherings as we do contact tracing of those who may have been affected. As far as we can see, transmission seems to be very limited but we are still doing contact tracing with the help of DOH. In any case, DOH also tells us that all cases are considered mild and not life-threatening."

Nice news to hear :)
