I told her that meantime girls don't end up as such just because they don't look good enough.      And then she told me....      "But you have to admit, most of the girls who end up as a girlfriend material are the pretty ones." ______________       I couldn't say for certain if the statement was meant to ask me something, or if it was meant to stir up the interaction.       When interacting with this woman, I have to take note that she's in a long term relationship way longer than mine. I no longer remember when the "meantime" relationships took place within the time span of her legitimate relationship. I no longer remember the details of what she was telling me. Though she did say that the main relationship was an open relationship so I guess, there were instances of relationship overlaps.         &n... http://cypocalypse.multiply.com/journal/item/321/A_Story_of_A_Meantime_Girls_Dilemma_Part_2_ Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:21:57 -0000 Lala Singing You are the Music in Me (Vanessa Hudgens) - Fuente Circle, Eastwood (July 21, 2008) http://cypocalypse.multiply.com/video/item/119/Lala_Singing_You_are_the_Music_in_Me_Vanessa_Hudgens_-_Fuente_Circle_Eastwood_July_21_2008 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:01:09 -0000 Lala Singing Can't Take My Eyes Off You -- Fuente Circle, Eastwood (July 21, 2008) http://cypocalypse.multiply.com/video/item/118/Lala_Singing_Cant_Take_My_Eyes_Off_You_--_Fuente_Circle_Eastwood_July_21_2008 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:45:08 -0000 Lala Singing Waitin' -- Fuente Circle, Eastwood (July 21, 2008) http://cypocalypse.multiply.com/video/item/117/Lala_Singing_Waitin_--_Fuente_Circle_Eastwood_July_21_2008 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:18:02 -0000 Cypocalypse @ Lala's Gig - Fuente Circle, Eastwood (July 21, 2008) http://cypocalypse.multiply.com/photos/album/185/Cypocalypse_Lalas_Gig_-_Fuente_Circle_Eastwood_July_21_2008 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:46:03 -0000 Cypocalypse at Michael Laya's Birthday (VSF Batch 98) - July 19, 2008 http://cypocalypse.multiply.com/photos/album/184/Cypocalypse_at_Michael_Layas_Birthday_VSF_Batch_98_-_July_19_2008 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 06:48:05 -0000 Looking at the Psychological and Philosophical Context of The Dark Knight (Spoilers) <a href="http://cypocalypse.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SIGhigoKCCgAAHPrVMM1"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.cypocalypse.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SIGhigoKCCgAAHPrVMM1/dk.jpg?et=dHmx7ndVxv4dB%2C4y977%2BUA&nmid=0" border="0"></a>      If I'm not mistaken, Batman is among the spearheads of contemporary Noir revival in the comic book industry, initiated specifically by arguably the most infamous batman book ever, Dark Knight Returns.      One can argue then, that it would be a bit of a redundancy if we put the words Noir and Batman in one sentence and say that that a series about this superhero is expected to have depth, and a darker tone. After all, the series already embodies the aforementioned characteristics.      Therefore, just being dark per se won't be able to cut it when we refer to doing something out of the Batman franchise. It's already obvious that the series would be dark and it would be a matter of careful thinking as to how to keep the franchise interesting.       When Batman Begins was about to be shown, there were questions raised as to how the film would keep its Noir identity by making it apparent that the ... http://cypocalypse.multiply.com/journal/item/319/Looking_at_the_Psychological_and_Philosophical_Context_of_The_Dark_Knight_Spoilers Sat, 19 Jul 2008 08:34:40 -0000 Cypocalypse and Kristine Watching The Dark Knight http://cypocalypse.multiply.com/photos/album/183/Cypocalypse_and_Kristine_Watching_The_Dark_Knight Fri, 18 Jul 2008 23:31:53 -0000 Angel Locsin - Folded and Hung http://cypocalypse.multiply.com/photos/album/182/Angel_Locsin_-_Folded_and_Hung Thu, 17 Jul 2008 10:51:51 -0000 Cypocalypse's Batman Begins Toy Collection Currently anticipating the DK hype.

"For some guys, we're just either a piece of meat, or an imposing brain."       For one, she should be thankful that she manages to have a second characteristic--an imposing brain. Normally, most of her meantime girl ilk don't progress beyond the first category. Ouch! Anyway, she should be thankful she has a brain. Lots of it.        Before writing this down, I asked her if I can blog something about this statement that she told me a few months ago. She said, she can no longer remember saying it. At that time, I was not in the mood in retelling her the situation that brought her into saying that statement. Still, I'll blog about it just the same. I'm not sure if she'll be able to read this blog soon enough, but that's quite beyond the point.        I like the way she delivered that line--simple, straightforward, and considerably honest.

Every dork in town are lining up in the streets to have the opportunity to be among the first people to have the unit, even if meant they have to take their evening sleep there.       The situation reminds me of most dork oriented events, e.g., launch of Halo 2 on the X-Box,  early screening of a Star Wars movie, etc. The Iphone 3G hype, with a $199 price tag, and a set of 3G features, shows quite a lot of interesting revelations: <ul style="font-family: garamond,adobe garamond;"><li>USA is a couple of years behind any other country when it comes to mobile phone technology.</li><li>Dorks now have a chance to be cool. </li><li>And still, some people with more money and less brain would also have a chance to be cool. </li></ul>     Yeah, that's right.

It shows clips from the upcoming movie. The couple being portrayed here shows similarity with the better-known Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson of My Girl, where the girl acts a perky, naive, main character and the male acts as an uptight, well established business executive. The formula is cliche-ic, the plot is expectedly light, but the twist is...the chemistry is surprisingly good, based from what I saw on the trailer. Cheesy, but good, definitely even more so than the less refined Kim-Gerald duo. I have little faith in the director though, since I wasn't really that impressed with One More Chance, but at least the trailer is worth looking. http://cypocalypse.multiply.com/video/item/116/A_Very_Special_Love_--_Sarah_Geronimo_and_John_Lloyd_Cruz Fri, 11 Jul 2008 19:23:54 -0000 Why I Love / Hate Peyups.com -- Peyups.com Overview (Part 2) <a href="/photos/hi-res/47/25"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.cypocalypse.multiply.com/image/3/photos/47/300x300/25/oe13.jpg?et=du9lHMZDiyh6lfigMdsZbw&nmid=72012614" border="0"></a>      One of the initial problems I have to deal with when I first joined peyups.com was the amount of insecure confrontational egotistic dorks that I have to get myself used to. They're practically everywhere.       To those of you who'd be reading this that have little idea of what UP life is like, it's basically like this--remember those attention-whore, leader-wannabe dorks that everybody hates in high school? Well, most of them ended up in UP. And guess what, more attention-whorish dorks mean more competition which also means that a typical UPIAN would be expected to jack-up even more his attention-whoring proficiency just to remain competitive.     Unless, of course, the UPIAN would be in a college where attention whoring is not that much important and you can practically survive with zero traces of personality and social life, like the College of Engineering, for example. Actually, that's the college where uncool people... http://cypocalypse.multiply.com/journal/item/316/Why_I_Love_Hate_Peyups.com_--_Peyups.com_Overview_Part_2 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:33:01 -0000 Why I Love / Hate Peyups.com -- Interacting With the Peyups.com Alpha Queen (Part 2) <a href="/photos/hi-res/47/15"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.cypocalypse.multiply.com/image/4/photos/47/300x300/15/oe3.jpg?et=7NcFFECpTZpdu6pM2AMOVQ&nmid=72012614" border="0"></a>     Actually, Cypocalypse's history with the Queen is quite complex--arguably among the most complex forms of acquaintance that I have with anyone.      We first met a few years back--back when Discostu was still the quintessential bullshit in the Peyups.com Relationship Forum. Of course, he has long been banned, leaving the Cypocalypse and another ass to slug it out in the coveted bullshit throne in the Relationship Forum, which, quite ironically, I no longer post at these days when I realize that the regulars there are still relationship kids one way or another. Sort of been there, done that for me, I guess.       I first met the Queen in her college. We also met with two peyups.com peeps. One is a girl and the other one is a guy named Email Failure Notification. For me, it was one of the earliest meetings that I did with any peyups.com member.        Peyups.com night outs would only manifes... http://cypocalypse.multiply.com/journal/item/315/Why_I_Love_Hate_Peyups.com_--_Interacting_With_the_Peyups.com_Alpha_Queen_Part_2 Wed, 9 Jul 2008 19:03:57 -0000 Why I Love / Hate Peyups.com -- Peyups.com Overview <a href="/photos/hi-res/47/24"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.cypocalypse.multiply.com/image/3/photos/47/300x300/24/oe12.jpg?et=Sv059UG0eyY4ylHrpDnmdg&nmid=72012614" border="0"></a>     Just to give the others a basic idea on what peyups.com is about, it's essentially an online community (most members are from UP, as the website's name would imply) patterned after pinoyexchange.com. At that time, pinoyexchange.com was booming and somebody took the idea of making something similar for the UP crowd, I guess. Ateneo, La Salle, and UST made their own counterpart websites but only peyups.com remained legitimately successful, probably because...uhmmm....students of Ateneo and La Salle have a legitimate life outside the internet and uhmmmmm.....UST peeps are not known for making individualistic assertive opinions. Har har!      And being patterned after pinoyexchange.com's forum set-up, you'd expect similar dynamics. Peyups.com used to have a Sex and Intimacy forum like PEX, but like UP in general (or anything that has state subsidy), peyups.com is cheap and cannot afford the bandwidth coming from the migrants of Manilatonight.com, wh... http://cypocalypse.multiply.com/journal/item/314/Why_I_Love_Hate_Peyups.com_--_Peyups.com_Overview Wed, 9 Jul 2008 14:47:16 -0000 Why I Love / Hate Peyups.com -- Interacting With the Legendary Peyups Alpha Queen <a href="/photos/hi-res/47/14"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.cypocalypse.multiply.com/image/3/photos/47/300x300/14/oe2.jpg?et=FOl6gsjAgKmzjkwcT1bu3w&nmid=72012614" border="0"></a>      Honestly, I wouldn't be writing about this if she didn't give me a full go-signal. This is something that I'd rather keep unknown to many. I don't know. Let them play with what they perceive, and keep another layer of truth unnoticed. But to give her the benefit of the doubt, I'd write something about her so that things would not come solely from her own perspective. She's Peyups.com's queen--love her or hate her, she always have to carry both sides.      She is the queen--love her for her iconic status, or hate her for what she is inside that chuckles, which is made even more cute by the dimples. She gets the alpha bitch image as much as the alpha queen image. Certainly, not the perfect figure for the making of diplomacy--more like a female figure for getting into a girlie slugfest. ___________________________ Cypocalypse2: Dude, stop mentioning the words queen, alpha, iconic, and whatnot.
