Marvel vs Capcom 2 arcade update at Tom's World Starmall Alabang

Marvel vs Capcom 2 arcade update at Tom's World Starmall Alabang

Yes, after over a month from its level 3 damage settings, the MvC2 arcade in that said place was back in normal at level 2 damage settings.

I played in the afternoon of July 3 and I just noticed that I finished stage 1 at around 25-30 secs. (unlike last month that I can finish a stage as fast as 70 secs. remaining) and that really craved for me to play more. That day, (hopefully, they already fixed it) the player 2 arcade sticks was not in top shape as your character facing right & you want to dash to that direction, oh , looks like there s a barbel that really trying to stop you to dash.

I m still dreaming that one arcade place that will put one MvC2 machine for every competitive level: 1 for novice, 1 for intermediate & 1 or 2 for the experts.

My first Marvel vs Capcom 2 (MvC2) gaming experience at Isetann Recto

My first Marvel vs Capcom 2 (MvC2) gaming experience at Isetann Recto

If you remembered one of last blogs about my trip to Manila in the day when typhoon Feria came in, this is a related blog to that...

After I finished some things in my trip, I got a chance to go to Isetann Recto coz its still early to go home & to try MvC2 there (due to some stories that my fellow gamers shared to me). The arcade places are in the 4th floor. First stop was one popular arcade place chain. Wondering only 2 played in that machine (coz of scoring credits), I got the answer after I played. Oh, the damage was quite a lot compared to others. Less value to your token that s why I can take it to finish the game & go to the nearby competitor. Wow in that place, MvC2 was at Lvl. 1, arcade was ok and theres another MvC2 arcade at Lvl. 2 settings.

Spotlight for July-August: Gorgoro


I heard them first on the Brewrats and I got interested in this band for some reasons. Their vocalist is a puppet (maybe the first in the world). They're quite a super-band coz some of its band members came from various bands. Of course, you must not ignore their music and his quest to find his father, Animal from the Muppets show. After I watched their videos of their guesting in Unang Hirit (wow, he had a duet with Arn-Arn!), their feature in Qtube and other various videos which you may see in their Youtube page. Of course, I wanna see more through this mini-interview with him. Please also vote their video on MYX by typing MYX (space) VOTE (space) YOU HAD A CHANCE BUT YOU BLEW IT and send to 2366 (all networks, P2.00 sun; P2.50 other networks)

1.Year or month & year the band established?
A. June 14, 2008.. It was quite memorable---that was father's day...and I was, still am, searching for my father... :-(

2.Band member indroduction

A. Some say that we are some sort of a "super band" 'cause my bandmates are all from established bands here in the Philippines but I don't really think of it that way. We're more of just "super friends" :-) Jeng Tan (Bass) also from Pin-up Girls Billy Reyes (guitars) also from Stonefree Jovi Reyes (drums) and Meh Reyes (sythn) also from the all girl group, Matilda. Manix Abrera on guitars.

3.Any updates in searching for your dad,Animal

A. Still no luck :-(


4.How your Brewrats guesting began as well as your 1st TV guesting in
Unang Hirit (I mean there's an UH usually watches your gigs?)
A. The Brewrats crew and I have a common friend, Ms. Jaqueline Rufener. She made it all happen. In the case of Unang Hirit, I think the producer saw us on "Kapuso mo,Jessica Soho" (when my Vlog was featured on that show) and then she got in touch with us to play at UH. Just for clarification, UH was our first live TV performance, not our first TV appearance.. We first appeared on TV on Jojo A--back in the "Jojo A, All the way" days :-)

5.I saw your pics with
Goin Bulilit kids,any chance that you'll be guesting there (& is it ok that your bandmates are not included)
A.Why not! Guesting there would be perfectly fine, and fun even. But it would be much better if I appear with my bandmates. Any TV appearance will be very helpful for my quest to be recognized...by my dad.

6.Which do you prefer more,bar gigs or with moshpit gigs?

A.Basta "listening crowd" ok yun kahit saan :-)


7.Forever under an indie label or having interest in a major label in the future?

A. Anything as long that it will lead me to my dad. But now I'll be honest to say that I'm flirting with some record labels
:-)

8.I saw your adventure in ADMU,where's the next school that you might invade?
A. I'd like to visit Harvard and Hogwarts. Oxford would be splendid too..

9.Websites and gigs? (lahat na po)

A. Just visit
gorgoro.com they can also check out animalismydad.blogspot.com.

Pupil Wildlife Special Edition CD Launch July 10


What: Pupil Wildlife Deluxe Edition Cd Launch
Where: SM North EDSA, Sky Dome
When: July 10, 7pm

One of the additional tracks on this deluxe edition is the live version of "Different Worlds" (from their first album Beautiful Machines) recorded in their gig in Big Sky Mind which is currently playing on NU107 .
Yes to us texters, NTC ordered mobile telcos to have longer expiry on cellphone load

Yes to us texters, NTC ordered mobile telcos to have longer expiry on cellphone load

As I saw this story in some news programs, that really brought up a smile in my face.

This order will be effective by July 20. Hope mobile telcos wouldn t put this to the court if they really care to us texters/consumers. Glad to see this coz in the past few months I am trying to load up as less as possible (it depends on the load s number of expiry days) due to my low demand of texts and texters in my mobile phone. There were some times that I forgot that I have some credits left and my load s already expired.

Some of the amount & number of expiry days as ordered by NTC:

P10=3 days (instead of 1 day)
P11-P50=15 days (instead of 1-5 days)

Ebe of Sugarfree revealed the album title for their next record

Ebe of Sugarfree revealed the album title for their next record

As I posted the news about the band s new single Hay Buhay last week, Ebe sent a message (thru the band s mailing list) about on some details of their soon-to-be released CD.

The album entitled Mornings and Airports. It contains 14 tracks as they have fair share when it comes to songwriting. Compared to the last 2 studio albums Dramachine and Tala-arawan, expect some English songs in this next record.

Hope they will release it this year and also have a good bargain when I buy this at their album launch (Of course, I want a poster!)

My horrible LRT1 ride at typhoon Feria

My horrible LRT1 ride at typhoon Feria

I dont know if its a good or bad timing that I had my dayoff at day Feria arrived in Metro Manila (which instantly became a tropical depression) for a ride to have a glimpse a part of Manila. I decided to ride thru LRT1 in Quirino station. Why quite horrible? First, me & the rest who fall in line were disturbed in few minutes of waiting due to some technical difficulties. Another when I m already inside, the train ran as not as normal. There were some times that it will slow down like there s a traffic in the highway. Also, shame to those people who were sneezing without their hankys on (with this awareness that we must lessen the possible impact of AH1N1). Things go back to normal after we had a stop in U.N. station.

I have a related blog entry on this which I might post by next week.

A brewster gig for Ronald later + for those who wanna see him for the last time

A brewster gig for Ronald later + for those who wanna see him for the last time

There s a brewster gig for Ronald Labadlabad later June 26 at Leprechaun bar (formerly Purple Haze bar) Tomas Morato corner E.Rodriguez ave. Some of the bands performing are Jeepney Joyride, FMD & 3 other bands.

Meanwhile, for those who wants to visit Ronald,you may check the details at the Hardcore Brewsters Association s multiply site hba010209.multiply.com

My memories with Ronald Labadlabad + (Last part)

My memories with Ronald Labadlabad + (Last part)

It was already past 12 mn of May 1 when Ronald & us brewsters said goodbye to DJ Angel. As a group, our feet lead us on our way to Mcdo Crossing (my brewrat moment:I m broke that time!) We came there for some value meal & the Japanese yakult guy will show us something:a Japanese sex gadget with a brand named Tenga really got our interest meter up specially Ronald (of course, its a Japan thing). We as a group continued our huddle & Ronald was happy that time. Almost 1am, we as a group had to separate ways to lead us to our own homes. My last glimpse to him when I show my Ingat (take care) sign to him with 2 or 3 other brewsters as my ride came in.

Overall, his over 20-month existence in the republic was something we must never forget.

Thanks for the memories, Ronald!

My memories with Ronald Labadlabad + (Third part)

My memories with Ronald Labadlabad + (Third part)

April 30-early morning of May 1,2009 it was FF night at the show. As early as 8:30pm Ronald,me,other brewsters & Angel were already there at RT. We had chit-chat sessions with his usual fav topics. He said to me that time that he wants a job first asap then he will go back to school later on. He even a delight on a not so leftover junkfood which came from a reliable girlie source. As the FF night started with DJ Angel solely handling the show,Ronald & us brewsters were in hyper mode as we want to share every single FF info that every brewster knows. Of course, Ronald leading the pack on the mic. Off-air and until the show ended, he had some baon on what s latest on Alodia & constantly telling to Angel to have a part 2 of that night as soon as possible

My memories with Ronald Labadlabad + (Second part)

1st time I met him was few days after that event. Most of the time that I go to the booth,he s also there. Some of fun memories was when a Hard Gay cosplayer danced in front of him & he blushed. We also cant forget his domination on the mike just to greet. He s runner-up to Sto.Nino guy in the 1st Brewster of the year. Despite there were negative comments on him,he never got mad off or on-air. He still smiles despite those times. Also (for those who saw him for a lot of times at the booth), we can t forget his stories of his misadventures with Alodia Gosiengfiao (he s leading in that suggestion to please guest her at the Brewrats) and his interest in anime & some Japanese stuff.

I never thought (even in my wildest dreams) that our conversation during Final Fantasy was the last...
