Superhero Beatdown!

Batman and Spider-Man: Live action cross-over! XD

Best line: "The police are on the way, Batman!"

Cooking with what!?

I know Winnie the Pooh is a classical children's icon but the word "cooking" and the name "Pooh" don't go well together for a very good reason. ^^;

The Anime Otaku-ness Test

I took the Anime-Otaku-ness Test and this is the result.

http://www.armory.com/tests/anime.html

You answered "yes" to 77 of 200 questions, making you 61.5% otaku pure (38.5% otaku corrupt).
Your Weirdness Factor (AKA Uniqueness Factor) is 15%, based on a comparison of your test results with 91823 other submissions for this test.

The average purity for this test is 66.4%.

I guess I'm not as otaku as I used to be.

Oh and here's something... unusual.

How to do just about anything

A list of useful websites I frequently visit to learn something new.

http://www.ehow.com/ - I recently learned how to build a terrarium from this website. I also got tips and advice on running home-based businesses there. Other than articles, Ehow has free videos.

http://www.expertvillage.com/ - I learned some Spanish and some harmonica from this website. Expert Village has a wide variety of videos for each topic has different author/experts with their own takes.

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks_portal - In Wikibooks, I read an online book on playing the blues harp. As the name suggests, the content can be edited by anyone.

http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page - Like any other Wiki-website, you can edit the how-to articles there.

http://www.howtodothings.com/ - I've just recently found this website. Although limited compared to the sites above, you might still find some use for it

OMFG!!!

News: http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view_article.php?article_id=103854

I've just received word from RP about the curfew and the attack at Manila Penn. That was so messed up! I was so shocked because I thought it's Martial Law all over again! I hope everyone's fine.

Although, it's not Martial Law, I vehemently disagree with the curfew thing. I'm concerned about the possibility of abuses committed by corrupt authorities. However, when the time is right, we must stand up and stick it to the man!



SCREW YOU, CURFEW AND CORRUPTION!!!

Recovery and free games

The reason why I uploaded this image: it just looks cute. :3

I think I'm 100% recovered. Depression is a big drag because it has been preventing me from drawing and playing the harmonica. The crappiest part was getting fatter due to my week-long halt to my work outs. GAH!!! Since I'm okay now, I can take up my favorite hobbies again. All I have to do is relax whenever I can.

Oh right, I've uploaded a new section in my blog that features free online games. Just look for "Lico's Arcade" above the tag-board. :)

Buddhist Music

These are Buddhist music videos I've been watching to get inspired.



This one is a modern musical piece with Buddhist chanting. It was created by Alan Smallwood, a professional composer and Nichiren Buddhist.



This one is my favorite. It's very serene and the chanting is much slower and deeper hence amplifying the positive effects of Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo.



This one isn't exactly Buddhist but it's very spiritual and it has a reference to bodhisattvas (candidates for Buddhahood) and the mantra Om. It has a very oriental and modern feel.

Rock Therapy

I'm listening and watching the following videos to get rid of my depression. All these videos remind me of who I am.



I picked this because of the humour and the age-old theme of good versus evil as seen in Tenacious D rocking against the Devil. It's a theme I've always liked. Plus, this song rocks.



I can really relate to this Black Sabbath classic (which is a tribute to the wizard Gandalf from Lord of The Rings) because the ass-kicking wizard is someone who comes along to a community, spreading his magic (cheering and encouraging everyone) and gets rid of evil forces (which can be an analogy for depression and everything that ruins life) . Among my friends, I'm usually the wizard. This song describes me the most.

Trivia: Take note of the harmonica. That was played by none other than Ozzy Osbourne!



Best song ever! This is the most inspirational song I've ever heard. I can see myself fighting for survival in the war with the darkest powerrrrrs! I feel immortal when I listen to this song.

Next: some Buddhist music

The spirit is gone

Forgive me for the drama but I'm not sure if I'm going to live longer. I think my optimism has reached its limit. I have too many problems right now. Too many criticisms and too much pressure has dealt a heavy blow to me. Right now, I feel so depressed I don't enjoy any of my hobbies.

I did say that I've gotten over my absence at the Komikon. I wasn't exactly honest. Who am I kidding? Komikon was a lot of things to me. It's not just the Komikon, it's the numerous friends I miss. I was very lucky to have many friends in the past who helped me and cheered me up when my "nearly-invincible" spirit gets shut down.

Now, I don't feel so invincible. My optimism and passion are dead. I have no friends in the US. I'm surrounded by people who don't believe in me. No more Artists' Den Friday meets. No more DA Meats. I'm no longer the mighty Lico Reloj other people know. I'm just a shell of my former self. It'll take a miracle for me to get back on my feet. If not, well, death isn't that bad...

Thank you everyone... for the memories.
