So today is a new month. One of the reasons why I chose to make a quick blog today was because it was Aiba Hiroki's birthday today! This entry's topic is somewhat hilarious in its own right, but might only make sense to me and my girlfriend.
But anyway, yesterday we passed by Data Blitz to pre-order Pokemon X & Y for the 3DS (since you know, we both have one) after a satisfying dinner at Ha Yuan Spring, a chinese restaurant along the back road of my office.
We went exploring a bit in Glorietta to look for some stuff before calling it quits and just headed off to Timezone to sing some songs. I had the mic for most of the time, and just like the fangirls we are, we usually enjoyed singing songs of Maroon 5 (because Adam Levine). One Maroon 5 song in particular would always have a "version 2" so to speak because of the different manner in singing it. The song? She Will Be Loved. The version? Blakeified!
As the term suggests, it's singing the song a Blake might have sung it. So the lower key, and just to add spice to the whole Shevine chemistry, flip the words around.
Another song she asked me to Blakeify was Vanessa Carlton's A Thousand Miles.
Needless to say, it worked.
I should find some more songs like that.

I apologize for the lack of activity lately. I've been at work doing work and work causes a stress I find to be a little bit more difficult to control these weeks. Of course, that's mostly because juggling a few number of projects in one go with a small number of QAs in a game development company of around 50 people really will become stressful. But to get back on track, here's a little entry I wanted to pen regarding an actor I've neglected to appreciate until recently, when Kai and I went to see Star Trek Into Darkness together.
Who is this actor?
Yup, he was the talented actor who played Mr. Spock in the 2009 and 2013 Star Trek films by J.J. Abrams. Because of his stellar performance, I found it imperative, like what I usually do with most actors I admire, to dig into their filmography and see where he's been. Most often than not, I always find one or two titles that I've already seen before but just never knew it was him, and called for a second look to confirm.
Such a title was What's Your Number?, a romantic comedy starring Chris Evans that I primarily watched it for. Having recognized Martin Freeman as well there, I never remembered Zach until I watched back. And there he was!
Other titles that caught my interest was that he was in the American Horror Story franchise. While he played a recurring role in season one, he played a main character in season two, Asylum.

Dr. Oliver Thredson / Bloody Face
Maroon 5's lead singer Adam Levine is a budding actor and makes his debut in this TV series, recounting the horrors of Briarcliff in present day 2012, while most of the story takes place 50 years ago in 1964, where Zach's character appears. Thredson is a psychiatrist who comes into the madhouse to help with therapy of one inmate: a man by the name of Kit Walker, who was accused of the crimes of Thredson's "alter ego", Bloody Face.
Now why do I talk about this? Kai and I often spend our time throwing scenarios at each other as opposed to the stories we type up in tandem. Whenever I find a character I enjoy watching, I begin a little process of understanding them better; a character study if you will to get into their head and grasp their train of thoughts and actions in order to adjust to scenarios.
A strange little hobby, but I find that doing it gives me a better sense of embodying a character like most actors do. Sounds like I'm interested in acting if I go through all this, right? People can dream. :P

After several trips to the department store to purchase a good number of jeans, I still find myself with a great deficiency of them in my closet. Sometimes they get misplaced in other closets, or sometimes they may even be gone as far as I'm concerned. But it's that time again when a Sunday afternoon of 40 degrees Celsius calls for a trip to the mall to leech on airconditioning and get new jeans.
For quite a while, my mom and I have been supporters of Jag for all the comfort, but I decided to go a different route this time around and browse at HerBench instead. Now, there are probably two reasons why I wanted to try it out: 1) Adam Levine is a model for Bench and 2) my girlfriend owns a pair. So I thought, "What the heck?"
To my sweet surprise, the price of their jeans were easier on the eyes than the other brands, so it helped with coaxing my mom to try some as well. So with my two pairs of jeans purchased for a good price of roughly Php900 each, I came away happy.

Since I started blogging, I've been through 4 phones that barely last a year. Let's have a quick recap, shall we?
- 9/5/2009 - Blue Nokia 2680 (9 months, 1 day)
- 6/6/2010 - Black Nokia 2690 (1 year, 11 days)
- 7/17/2011 - Black Samsung Champ Duos (1 year)
- 8/17/2012 - Black Samsung Galaxy Ace (6 months)
- 2/16/2013 - White Samsung Galaxy S Duos
This is the first time I've applied for a Data Plan and paying for it at my own expense, so it was pretty important to me that I got a phone that would last me longer than a year without fail. This was one of the phones that came free with my plan, and I'm quite happy with my decision!
This is my first white phone ever, so it couples well with my current White iPod 4th Gen Touch.
When I obtained this phone, I was on a current shipping fixation that will probably last for the next few months as long as I live. If you don't know what the term Shevine stands for, it's basically a pair-up of two coaches from NBC's reality singing competition, The Voice. Which two artists you may ask? Blake Shelton and Maroon 5's front man Adam Levine!
(Get it? Shelton-Levine? Shevine? Yeah, of course you do)
So it felt appropriate that to celebrate my fandom of their awesome bromantic pair-up, I decided to dub my phone Shevine. I will love this phone to death and enjoy the many wonders of it in the coming year(s). Data plans FTW!
