The Man Behind th Rainbow Mask

For Naruto Fans Only

Ok, so we all know him right? We all know Uzumaki Naruto, the boy who has the kyubi (nine-tailed fox) sealed inside his body. We also know that it was none other than the 4^th Hokage (the highest ninja rank in a certain village is called a Kage) Yondaime who sealed the kyubi inside Naruto’s body. Also, let’s not forget the one and only Akatsuki, who are known as a group of elite ninjas that have abandoned their villages to cause havoc and devastation. The thing here is that Naruto has been chased by the Akatsuki for more than three years. We all know why right? Its because the Akatsuki leader wants the powers of the Bijuus for himself and his comrades. The real question here is that who is the Akatsuki Leader? Hehehe… while you’re reading this, you’ll eventually find out.

Naruto

NARUTO is a young ninja striving to become the best among the rest. He is very kind hearted, passionate, quick tempered, confident and he would do anything for his friends. With the nine-tailed fox sealed inside his body, Naruto is one of the most powerful anime characters you will ever encounter. His dream is to become the Hokage someday. Trained by the one and only Hatake Kakashi, the copycat ninja who can copy any technique in the blink of an eye, and Jiraiya Sama, one of the Legendary Sanin (a special kind of ninja rank that is almost just as good as the Kages themselves). Naruto, as a young ninja, was part of Team 7 otherwise known as team Kakashi. Team Kakashi was led, of course, by Kakashi and his students were Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke. Sasuke was one of Naruto’s dearest friends and Naruto was the type of person who would do anything to help his friends. At the end, Sasuke ended up into going to the dark side with Orochimaru, another one of the Legendary Sanin. Since Naruto knew that he didn’t stand a chance against Orochimaru and his army, he went with Jiraiya for a long and harsh training for success. But we all know that right?

Yondaime

THERE ISN’T THAT MUCH TO SAY ABOUT YONDAIME because he only shows up in the first episode of the series. All I know about him is that he is the 4th Hokage otherwise known as the “Konoha Yellow Flash.” Yondaime is also an apprentice of Jiraiya. Trained by the best and turned to the best, that’s Yondaime. He is the sensei of Hatake Kakashi. He also was the one who sealed the nine-tailed fox into Naruto’s body. After sealing the Kyubi, his body was offered to the “God of Death.” Some say that Yondaime is Naruto’s Father, or Uncle or something. I’m not really sure… you be the judge. Anyway, we all know he’s dead right? Hehehe… think again.

Why am I so caught up in this now?

The Akatsuki is a group of elite ninjas. The best of the best assassins you’ll ever see on TV. They all have their own little specialty and their forehead protectors all have a scratch symbolizing the abandonment of their own village. Orochimaru was once part of this organization when suddenly he just decided that he can do it by himself, or maybe something else? Among the members of the Akatsuki is Uchiha Itachi. Itachi is Sasuke’s only brother and also Sasuke’s reason on joining Orochimaru and his army. Sasuke’s aim in life is to kill Itachi because Itachi killed everyone else in the Uchiha Clan. Anyway, so the Akatsuki *Blah Blah Blah*… and then we find ourselves wondering who the leader is… right? Every time the show gives us a glimpse of the Akatsuki leader, all we see is a guy with spiky hair and a rainbow colored face. Where’s the fun in that?

Just recently, I was looking at some pictures in the internet. I logged in to google images and jotted down “Yondaime.” After a few seconds I saw this… WHAT!

Yondaime is the Akatsuki leader… *dun dun dun* *Thunder Clapping and Lightning Strikes*

If you think that this is a very pointless post, believe me, I think so too… but the world has to know! Yondaime, the Konoha yellow flash/4^th Hokage, is the Akatsuki leader!

Unfortunately, I was corrected by a certain ass-wipe named Paulo Prieto who, by the way, is a YLS... ask him... he knows what it is... Also, he gave me a site that has the rest of the neruto stuff thats off the charts, or the televisions. Well, thats it...

Pau, everyone knows that were really good friends... but YLS... im gonne get you someday... you kiss-ass spoiler... hehe... joke lang bai..

But Hey! I'm A Smart-ass Ain't I?

One sad Saturday afternoon, I was watching a dvd in my parents' room. Halfway into the movie, just when everything was starting to sizzle, my mom walks in with disturbing news.

Mom: Kev, parang kailangan na yata natin mag lipat ng bahay.

Kevin: Lipat? Bakit?

M: Kasi parang hindi man maganda ang neighborhood na ito. Ayoko na yata dito. Ang mga kapatid mo hindi ko pa nasabihan, pero feeling ko ok lang sa kanila kasi wala man din silang mga kilala dito.

K: Nge? Tapos ako? Ka dami ko na bayang mga memories dito. Tapos ka dami ko na ring mga kakilala... lugi naman ako...

(I go out, Dad comes in)

Dad: O, nasabihan mo na?

M: O pero ayaw. Kaw nga mag usap sa kanya.

(Dad goes out, and into my room)

D: O Kev, nasabihan ka na ni Mommy?

K: Yeah, but I don’t wanna go dad.

D: Why? Its for the better you know, and besides, you have that “Charm” with you. You’ll make new friends in no time.

K: But dad, this place is like home to me.

“But dad, this place is like home to me.”

Not a really smart answer right?

But hey! I’m a smart-ass ain’t I?

To those who are reading...

There is no truth in this particular post...

I just got bored and this is what I do when I'm bored...

I hate this summer...

I miss school...

I Love This Game

I believe that the only game I have ever, ever loved was none other than Pokemon! I love it! I have played, and finished each and every Pokemon game from pokemon Yellow-Emerald.

Actually, the games are separated into four groups. I have played the first three groups because, unfortunately, the fourth was designed for a Nintendo DS, which I, apparently, don't have. These groups are called "Generations" and these Generations also has their own divisions called “Versions.” Now, each generation has its own storyline, own characters, and own pokemon and each version has the exact storyline as the other versions in the Generation (Are you getting all that?). Though all of them have many differences, there is always one ultimate goal. Defeat the Pokemon League and reign as pokemon master. I’m telling you, it’s a beautiful, beautiful game that I think you will eventually love as much as I do.

Generation 1 (Versions: Yellow, Red, Green and Blue)

The first Generation revolves on the original master, the master among the masters, the one and only, Ash Catchem. Ash is a 12 year old boy who has a dream of becoming the best among the rest. His starter is Pikachu, a lightning type pokemon who can create enormous electric charges and colossal thunder bolts with a little help from his red cheeks. The game is simple really. The key is patience, trust and teamwork. You can’t just train one pokemon because you’ll need a whole battalion to win the game with flying colors. At first, it was a real challenge. But at the end, it was all worth it. The first version in this generation, and this game as well, is called Yellow Version. This version, for me, is definitely the best. It’s the original and it has all that energy in it for something so old. It’s fabulous.

Generation 2 (Versions: Crystal, Gold and Silver)

Pokemon Crystal, the very first RPG (Role Playing Game) I've ever accomplished. One of the best, I tell you, I memorized every encounter like it was written on the back of my hand. What’s so cool about this Generation is that this is where they started adding new pokemon. Originally, there are 152 pokemon but in these versions, there were, I think, 304? And they all looked like so new and powerful. All of them were stunning at first, but I just kinda got used to them. In these versions, there is a legend that envelopes the storyline (actually, there’s a legend on all versions, but I think this one has the best). About a bird, that has rainbow colored feathers, and three unwillingly powerful dogs, that can control the volcanoes, the thunderclouds and the seas. These three were punished and banished from the world and turned to stone. Unfortunately, you’re going to have to wake them up if you want to finish the game. Hehehe

Generation 3 (Versions: Emerald, Sapphire and Ruby)

These, my friends, are the latest. If Gen 1 wins on best storyline and best picture, Gen 2 wins the best legend and best actor, Gen 3 definitely wins best graphics, battle style, and many more (most colorful, prettiest character, coolest pokemon, worst bosses, etc…)

The best thing about this is that you can really explore the place, and I mean EXPLORE. It’s so big, biggest map ever I think. And the puzzles will drive you nuts. Damn, I miss this game. The only thing I can say about this Generation is that it has way better graphics, sound, pokemon, and shitty stuff.

Actually, I can't really explain how I exactly love this game. Maybe because when I had no one to turn to, this was my only output of terrible feelings. Anyway, if anyone asks me what i love the most or what my favorite past-time is, its definitely Pokemon.

A Trip Away From Home

"April 21, 2008 Monday. A Lot or things happened that day. Many endearing encounters with many discreet things."

We were going on a road trip. Me , my parents, my sister, my grandpa, and my cousin. Marilog was the destination, and far away was the location. At first, I really didn't want to go, and while I was in the car, I just slept. There wasn't a pinch of interest in my mind, but just a pinch. not even enough to make me want to wake up and eat, but i didn't have any choice.

Well, the reason why we went there was that my mom bought a little patch of land in the Marilog Province. About 4 times the size or our lot here in Davao, and about 40 times less likable as well. What can I say? I admit, it was a drag.

After more than an hour on the road, we finally got there. Dad parked the car near a local church. The church was standing right next to a pretty steep cliff and it looked like it was about to collapse any minute. Just going near it made me feel nauseous. Little did I know that we were supposed to go down that cliff to go to our "little patch of land"

So it was me, my mom, my dad, my cousin, my sister and Boy, the amazing-mountain-walker guy who looks like Gandalf from "Lord of The Rings". He's our guide. We left Tatay behind because, at his age, he can't possibly survive a long walk like that, he wouldn't even be able to go as far as ten steps... [no offense Tay... :) ]

25 minutes of walking up-hill and down-hill. Tiring? Yes. Worth-it? Nope. I'm sorry to say this but it looked terrible. When we got there, I immediately said "This is what we walked for?" It was terrible! It was hot and weedy and messy and dangerous! It was terrible! Its a good thing there were pretty interesting looking bugs down there.

Usually, here in the city, when we see flies, we kill them, right? Not only because of their filthy existence, but also because of their disgusting features. Here, on the other hand, is different. In Marilog, their flies have really, really BIG GREEN EYES. I was so amazed! I've never seen a green eyed fly before. They were big and looky. You know what looky is? It means they look at you... a lot! They just kept on looking. I don't know... maybe I had something on my face or something... it was weird. They even followed us back up to the car.

When we got back to the car, food was our first target. Because of that exhausting walk in the mountain/forest/wasteland(/soccer field?), hunger became the new problem. As soon as we had our eyes on the car, and said hi to Tatay, food was in our minds. Food food food… mmmmmmmmm…. :9

After eating, drinking and a little farting, if I might say, we all went in the car and the car went even deeper into the roads of the Marilog Province. Well, not really that deep inside, maybe just about 200 meters further in. Anyway, we went to another patch of land, with coffee planted all over, and children playing all around. It was a hill on the mountain. And not just any ordinary hill, you see, there was a legend amongst us at the time.

There was this house you see. And this house was standing on top of this hill you hear. Now, this ain’t no ordinary house. Its abandoned. Why? Oh, you wouldn’t want to know, but I’ll tell ye anyway… *Evil Laugh*

So there was a house at the top most part of the hill. Actually, it was a pretty nice looking house. The sad part about it was that there was once one man who lived in that house, who died. He was at the roof, fixing something, they said, and it was at the middle of a heavy ferocious rain. They say that he just fell of, and his skull opened along with the fall. Some say that they saw someone, or something, go up the roof with him hit his head with something. Some say he was struck by lightning. No one knows exactly, but they do know this. Ever since that accident happened, people have never lasted a day in that house. They call it nothing and they treat it like nothing so that nothing goes in and nothing goes out. But hey! I got a glimpse of nothing! That’s cool right?

On the way back home, we came across this little café along the road. I didn’t see it at first because I was asleep going to Marilog. Unfortunately, time did not allow me to go back to sleep on our trip back, but its ok because I got to eat really nice and fresh tasting bread.

The café’s name was Logdeck. It was owned by an Israelite and a rather nice one if I might add. He served us so generously. He gave a cup o’ Joe for everyone, nice Israelite pita bread, and one really big omelet for everyone on the house(ok... only the first batch of bread was on the house... unfortunately, we ordered a lot more food afterwards...). The omelet was wonderful; it had all these different spices in it. Parsley, oregano, chives, and some onions I think. Anyway, the owner/cook/waiter’s name was Odet. He must’ve been the same age as my parents; he had a rather amusing accent, white balding hair, and a good sense of taste, that’s for sure.

At the end, everything went well. We all enjoyed ourselves, had a nice afternoon home, had a nice nap, had good food to eat and, most importantly, a good story to tell. I enjoyed our trip to Marilog, even though at first I thought it was going to be terrible. It was actually very exciting, fun and delightful.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to get any more pictures because the camera's battery ran dry on us. Hehehe...

Ang Babae Nga Naman

This morning, my mom found this poem in her drawer. It was entitled “I Just Can’t Understand You Woman.” It was written by an anonymous writer and it seemed that it was written ages ago. The paper looked like it would turn to dust at any minute and it was written with a typewriter. The paper had torn edges and all of the sides had, at least, one part torn in half. There were also holes in it that seemed to look like the beginning of its turning to dust.

This poem was actually very intriguing. My mom told me to read the damn thing and make a song out of it, but instead, I’ll write it down here first so that some people can bear with me… :D

So, this is how it goes:

I Just Can’t Understand You Woman

If you’re well dressed, she thinks you’re a playboy
If you’re not, she thinks you’re rugged
If you kiss her, you’re not a gentleman
If you don’t, you’re not a man
If you praise her, she thinks you’re lying

If your don’t, you’re good for nothing
If you agree with all her likes, she abuses
If you don’t, she doubts your love
If you make romance, you are an experienced man
If you visit her often, she claims it’s boring

If you don’t, she accuses you of double-crossing
If you visit another, she accuses you of being a traitor
If she is visited by another, Ah, it’s but natural for a girl
If you’re a minute late, she complains it’s hard to wait
If you’re on time, for hours she’ll make you wait

If you propose love within a brief acquaintanship, you’re a fresh guy
If you postpone it to later, she wonders why?
If you fail to assist her in crossing the street, you lack ethics
If you do, she thinks it’s just one of mans tactics
If you kiss her once in a while, she says you’re abusing

If you kiss her always, she says you don’t respect her
If you don’t kiss her at all, she says you’re dry
If you contradict her, she does not like it
If you don’t, she thinks you’re easily deceived
Oh! Woman – thou art so simple yet so complex to understand

So, how was it? Whaddaya think huh? Hehehhe…. And tell me, how on earth am I going to make a song out of that??

Mahal Ko Ang Bayan Ko!

Nanonood ako ng news kanina sa tv at nalaman ko na ang populasyon pala nating mga Pinoy ay dodoble na sa loob ng tatlumpu’t limang taon lamang! Paano na ang mga magiging anak ko? At mga apo? Paano na ang kinabukasan ng ating bayan? Halos 88.4 million na yata ang populasyon ng Pilipinas sa kasalukuyan at ayon sa mga taong nagtatrabaho sa UP at nag-se-specialize sa mga bagay tulad ng population, aabot na daw ng 177.3-.4 million ang ating bilang base sa mga findings nila.

Isa pa, ang presyo ng bigas sa Pilipinas ay tumataas din. 17 years old pa ako, kaya nagwoworry na ako. Paano na kaya kung nakapagtapos na ako ng pagaaral, kung may sarili na akong buhay’t pamilya? Paano na? mahal na nga ang bigas ngayon, ano pa kaya sa future? Alangan namang magasa nalang ako sa mga institusyong namimigay ng libreng bigas? Paano kung wala sila sa kung saan ako nakatira? Hahabulin ko pa ba sila? Mahirap na ito, kahit na maging isang successful person ako sa mundong ito, mahirap parin noh.

Napanood ko rin kanina sa TV na may isang lugar sa Bohol na umaasa lang sa mga isdang nahuhuli nila sa karagatan. Ang bayan kasi nila nasa tabi lang ng dagat, at karamihan sa mga tao doon, mga mangingisda. Ngayong napakarami na ng mga Pinoy, napakarami narin ng mga mangingisda, at dahil marami ng mangingisda, dahandahang nauubos ang mga isda sa kanilang lugar. Paano na yan? Ano na ang ipapakain nila sa kanilang mga pamilya? Diba isang problema rin yan na kailangang ayusin ng lahat ng mga Pilipinong tulad mo? Sigurado akong hindi lang yan nangyayari sa Bohol. Sa buong Pilipinas ito nangyayari. Doon lang sa Bohol nagsisimulang maghasik ng lagim ang mga consequence ng ating mga nagagawang katangahan.

May isa pang problema. Mayroon tayong, more or less, 400,000 fresh graduates every year. Karamihan sa kanila, nagkakatrabaho naman, pero kahit na ganoon, mahirap parin kasi ang dami paring mga graduates ang hindi nakakahanap ng trabaho. Halos 64.4 thousand fresh graduates ang hindi nakakahanap ng trabaho. Malaki parin yun,at nadadag-dagan pa lalo ang dami ng mga unemployed sa ating bansa, e ang dami dami na nga nila; ang dami dami ng tao, ang dami dami ng problema, pamilya at walang pera.

Mahirap na to! Ano ba ang nangyayari sa ating pinakamamahal na ”Inang Bayan”? Bakit ba pahirap na tayo ng pahirap? Papatong patong na kasi, simula sa bigas, hanggang sa populasyon. Ano ba yan!?

May mga plano pa naman ako sa buhay, pero kung ganito lang din pala ang mangyayari dito, mas gugustuhin ko nalang umalis at magpakasaya sa labas ng bansang ito... kahit na masakit sa aking kalooban.

Ang dami-dami na kasi talagang mga problema:

1. Population, most likely, will double in 35 years

2. Rice in our country is getting too expensive, even though we're rich in it

3. Many of our fishermen can’t catch fish the same as before.

4. Even if the fishermen can catch as much, it still won’t be enough to both support their families, and to earn a living

5. A living in this country can only be called “a living” if it’s used with “hell” at the end

6. There are 400,000 graduates every year, and still, there are 64.4 thousand fresh graduates that are unemployed

7. The people running our country are, evil, stupid, corrupt and destructive

8. Wala na akong pera pang labas ng bahay! T_T

Konti palang yan...

Sigurado akong marami ring nagiisip ng ganito. Hindi lang ako, bata pa ako e kaya wala ako masyadong masabi. Kaya ganito nalang ang gagawin natin. Bigyan ninyo ako ng pera panglabas ng bahay para maayos ko ang mga problema ng Pilipinas. Alam kong kaya kong ayusin ang mga ito, pero kailangan ko lang talaga ng pera...

Ganito ako pag Summer. Summer + walang summer class = walang pera

Basta! Give me money, and I’ll solve our problems! Believe in me. Please… :D

Bai, naa kay load? Pa-text beh? Please…

“I know that I have let you down,
And what I do is always wrong.
But I promise you that I will be good,
And just for you I will be strong.

Tears are rolling down my face,
The thought of losing you makes me cry.
I just want us to be okay again,
Please, don’t say goodbye.”

Naktanggap na ba kayo ng ganitong klaseng message sa cell phone ninyo? Ako, halos araw araw ako nakakakuha ng ganito. Mga dalawa, at least, sa isang araw. Minsan nga gusto ko ng ibenta para magkapera naman ako kahit konti, pero wala na yatang mga bobong bumibili ng text message. May unli na kasi ngayon e. Ang talagang nakakatuwa sa mga ganitong klasesng mensahe ay ang kanilang mga mensanheng sinusubukang ibaabot sa mga tao. Iisa lang naman ang kanilang sinasabi… “sorry and I want you back… please?”

Wala naman akong anything against sa mga quotes quotes na ‘to, sa totoo nga e minsan gusto kong gumawa ng sarili kong quote na pwedeng makalat sa buong Pilipinas. Pero parang may requirements pa yata ang ganoon. May entrance exam pa nga siguro e. Kaya for now, college nalang muna ang tatapusin ko. Diba Mommy? :D

Minsan, may mga message din na bastos at naguutos… di ‘yung mga sine-send sa’yo ng nanay mo pag nasalabas ka at may gusto silang ipabili, ang tinutukoy ko ay ang mga message na nagsasabing “send this to 20 people or the love of your life will die in 2 minutes.” Umiinit talaga ang ulo ko sa mga ganito..

“Father almighty, please guide me today and never let me go, help me in all of the things that might give me pain and heal me when I am in grave danger. Amen.
Send this to 20 people or the love of your life will die in 2 minutes. Ingat… :)”

Ok na sana e. Ang ganda na sana ng prayer, e hihingi pa pala ng ransom ang nagsend kasi nasa mga kamay nia pala ang buhay ng pinaka-mamahal mo. Isa palang ransom note in disguise ang prayer na ito! Wala siyang pakialam kung ano ang gawin mo para masend mo yan sa 20 people, basta 2 minutes lang ang binibigay niya sa’yo. Parang sa teleserye, o mas masahol pa. Wala naman siyang makukuha kung patayin nia ang pinaka-mamahal mo diba? Kakainis kasi may Ingat pa sa banding huli. Minsan “Gud PM” o “Gud AM” pa. Kakainis! May mga naniniwala pa talaga sa mga ganito. Sabi nila, ”Better safe than sorry” ako naman sabi ko ”Ano ba yan? Ang corny”

Napaisip ako sa isang ito. Pero noong first try ko, confident na ako at sinabi kong “Chuchay!” yun pala, e mali ako. Sabi sa’kin mali daw. Sabi ko hindi. Diba may pattern naman ang mga pangalan mga mga anak ng nanay ni Henry? Ay… Henry pala.
