Gin Ichimaru and Severus Snape’s Character Similarity

Gin Ichimaru is one of my top lister favorite anime character from the series/manga written by Tite Kubo, Bleach. He is the captain of the 3rd Division in the Gotei 13 until he betrays Soul Society, and became a commander of Sōsuke Aizen’s arrancar army. That’s all we know before the final chapters of Arrancar saga. Later we realized that he is a man whose real intent is hidden behind his smiles and in his rarely opened eyes. Professor Severus Snape, on the other hand, is a potion master of Hogwarts, the famous school of sorcery and witchcraft in the Harry Potter series. Envious ... Read more

Vacuum

We are a race capable of great compassion and of great violence.  “Optimus Prime” (Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen) Humans have been born with two specific tendencies, to be good and to be evil. Our freewill has always been challenged with these tendencies. True, sometimes it is easy to fall into temptation and just be as evil as you can be. In facing life’s circumstances, things have always been twice as tough as choosing the right thing and actually doing it. What makes it difficult? Choosing right over wrong? Doing something right over something wrong? The difficulty may arise ... Read more

Too Much

Feeling too much sometimes make us afraid of what may come next. To feel too much especially for someone makes us vulnerable since it threatens our own protective instinct for our own existence. It makes us aware that one strange person in this entire world manage to matter in our life. It makes us crave for something that wasn’t part of our being, that wasn’t there in the first place, but that something made everything in us insignificant. The shift from our own possessiveness in our lives to that of someone else weakens our individuality.  At some point, we manage ... Read more

Security Bank Building Painter: Don’t You See the Risk?

I am always thinking how much this building painter is paid of. Was his salary enough for him to take this risk? Painting on top of the building with just a rope tied on his waist is not enough to guarantee his safety. Why did the contractors allow this? Why don’t they provide a safer harness? Nothing terrible happened to the painter but , I believe, we should not wait for that terrible thing to happen before we act. This video was taken June 13 of 2011.

Severus Snape: My New Favorite Harry Potter Character

Wow! I don’t read the books so I only found this out when I saw the final installment of Harry Potter Series- Severus Snape is protecting Harry Potter from the very beginning. He is Hogwart’s Potions Master, though he is widely rumoured to covet the Defence Against the Dark Arts post as shown in the first book. Snape is a sinister and malicious teacher who makes frequent snide and disparaging remarks at Harry’s expense. He quickly becomes the primary antagonist of the book, as Harry suspects him of plotting to steal the philosopher’s stone, and of attempting to kill him. ... Read more

Freedom: Redefined

I watched Balitanghali early this afternoon on GMANews.tv and I found one irritating comment from one of their twitter followers. The news is about the prenuptial photos proliferating over the internet which were shot at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. Several people are sensitive on these since they found it rude and a form of disrespect to the history’s heroes. Personally, I am not against it, I mean, I see no rude things in the photos…cool when I first saw it. But I am also not in favor of what they did. I am sorry but I am not that ... Read more

A Review of Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon

Watching the trailer excites me. I know in the first place that these machines will really make out big once it starts rolling.

Near midnight of June 28 (GMT+8:00) when I took my first glimpse of Micheal Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon in 3D, in which I guess add up to my pile of excitements. Revealed was, Neil Armstrong’s trip to moon was not merely to study the moon and its physical and chemical characteristics but also too look for an unidentified ... Read more
