What IS a man? Final Fantasy Machinima: Real Men (FF Machinima).

S.A.P.#15

In the previous poem that I had read entitled 'If' by Rudyard Kipling, he talks about the importance of being a true humane person, but directs it more to a male audience, thus making the poem an inspirational tool in advising what a true man should be to his fellow people.

Then something had to ruin the importance of the poem's message, I saw YouTube video about a parody of this video game. Entitled 'Real Men: Dissidia Final Fantasy', two of the main characters argue which one of them is manlier and point out how real men should look and act like!

Totally hilarious, with insane random (il)logical dialogue and witty, sarcastic quips, get ready to go LOL on their take of being real men!

The Beginning of the English Month

S.A.P.#12

February 2011 is known for dozens of different occasions, at least where Filipinos are concerned. There's the People Power Revolution to celebrate (Feb. 25), President Noynoy's birthday (Feb. 8), the Chinese New Year (Feb. 3). This is also the Month for Pro-Life members of the world. And, of course, who could forget that this is also the Month of Hearts, or in other words, Valentine's Day (Feb. 14).

But just this recent morning, I now count a new event for this month, which is (drum roll please), The English Month (Tah-dah!).

As a second year student majoring in English, my fellow classmates and I have to do the facilitating for the upcoming events of the English Month and I had felt that this task proves to be challenging, but at the same time truly a good way to exercise my ability to help, improve, assist, etc. for these events. It's too bad, though, it would mean I can't join an event at all since we'll have our hands full in hosting, assisting, etc. for these events.

Just today, I had had the pleasure in hosting one of the first events of the English Month: the Research Forum. I felt like every fiber of me is responsible in rolling the event as 'smoothly' as possible. I was a bit tad nervous if everything will turn out alright, but I guess all in all me and my fellow hosts and the presenters of the program had done a deal of a great effort to put on a very intellectual show in sharing the research they had done.

I look forward to more events concerning English Month and Linggo ng Wika, as both had become the capable Tongue of the Scholasticans.

Scott McNeil - A Talented Example of a Voice Actor!

S.A.P. #11

In watching cartoon and anime shows and even movies and video games, I have always admired those people who were behind it all in bringing the characters in these shows and games to dynamic life. One of them is Scott McNeil.
Canadian-born, 48+ years old, long-haired and totally bursting with 'Otaku'-like enthusiasm, Scott McNeil has voiced dozens and dozens of characters over the course of his whole career as a voice actor, voicing punks who are ace pilots of Gundam robots, popular mutant heroes to anthropomorphic characters who happen to be archnemesis to an evil iguana.
Totally talented, funny and kid-friendly (depends on the show he's lending his voice to), here is Scott McNeil.
