Though I'm cuurently pumped up because I excited to watch the via satellite telecast of the 14th season of The Amazing Race on February 16, 2009 on Studio 23.

Reply to colleen's challenge

I don't usually entertain things like chain letters and like but since this challenge was given to me by my good friend Colleen, Oh well, here goes nothing.

MEME TIME

Rules of the Game:
A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs & replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.
B) Tag 8 people to do this quiz & those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by & cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.
C) ENJOY?

oo1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
Upset, angry, all negative emotions you could think off rolled into one. As if my world would fall apart. Of course, break-up will be next to it and then move on with my life.

oo2. If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?
mine is just simple. I want to have an unlimited supply of money. Money is really essential nowadays since prices of basic goods are going up.

oo3. What's your sexual orientation?
I'm a man who likes the opposite sex, simple as that. Unfortunately, I'm too shy with women to express my feelings.

oo4. What will your dream wedding be like?
Never though about it really. I just don't think that I will find a person that will accept me as myself. If it will come true, I just really want a very simple wedding with my family and her family.

oo5. What's your ideal lover like?
beautiful, kind, thoughtful, understanding, simple, and God-fearing.

oo6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
Equal. It comes hand in hand.


oo7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love?
Till the day I die, I guess. If it doesn't come, I don't mind being single forever at all.

oo8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
I would be happy for her. I'll just help her in anyway I can to make her happy as a friend. Hopefully, I would find someone who will love me and I will love back.

oo9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
Unhappy, I don't want to call it that but if I will find the right word for it, it would be family homesickness(if there is such a word). I really, really miss my mom and my younger sisters who are now living in the US. Even if they call one a week on how I am doing here and vice versa. It's still sad not being able to see them and touch them, and interact with them.

o11. Do you want to have kids of your own?
Of course, if God will have his way.

o12. How do you see yourself in ten years time?
I think by that time, I'm already living in the US with my family and hopefully, will have some job there.

o13. Who are currently the most important people to you?
My family, of course.

o14. What kind of person are you?
Introvert but I'm nice, even if some people think I'm too serious-looking and too shy for my own good. I'm a really nice if people will try their best to really know me.

o15. Would you rather be single & rich or married but poor?
Single and rich. XD

o16. What is the first thing you do every morning?
Watch TV.

o17. Would you give all in a relationship?
No. I think I would just give 75%. But there no way you could calculate these things but I really do think you should save some for yourself.

o18. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?
I will pick the one who loves me the most, of course.

o19. What type of friends do you like?
Same as colleen's answer. Fun to be with, matured, loyal, trustworthy, protective, those who know how to respect and have same interests as mine.

o20. What type of friends do you dislike?
Same as colleen's answer. Backstabber, judgmental, and vain.

I'm tagging soulassassin, imbestigador, Anime Kabayan, theblocker, -KiRa-YaMaTo-, chopper098, Nica-chan, Miyon

I'm already excited for The Dark Knight movie

Ever since when I was a kid, I was more interested on the Marvel characters than the DC character line-up when it comes to American comics. But ever so, there was DC character that will forever will be my no. 1 DC Character of all time. None other that The Batman. Why? because he's so cool, intelligent, and, of course, overwhelmingly rich. I watched all the Batman movies since the 1st Batman movie directed by Tim Burton and starred Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Jack Nicholson as Joker. I loved Batman and Batman returns but was kinda disappointed on Batman Forever and Batman & Robin directed by Joel Schumacher-something because of the nipples on the batsuit that looked gayish. But my interest on the Batman films was revived again because of Batman Begins directed by Christopher Nolan. The movie got it's dark-themed feel back and made Batman cool again. Now that the sequel, The Dark Knight, will premiere here in the Philippines on July 17, 2008. I can't wait for the movie to be released. I also will like to see how the late Heath Ledger portrayed the Joker character which is now being praised by critics.

Zen Otaku Honbu Forums, Lilipat na sa FreeForums.org!

Dahil sa mga problemang teknikal na naganap sa Makeforum.org, ang aming dating forum host para sa Zen Otaku Honbu forums, napagdesisyunan namin mga admin na sa oras na magkaroon muli ng problema ay maglilipat na kami sa panibagong forum host. Kaya simula sa ngayon, March 25, 2008, ito na ang bagong url ng Zen Otaku Honbu Forums na nasa bagong forum host na FreeForums.org: http://zenhonbu.freeforums.org

Para sa mga dati na at mga baguhan na forumers: Magregiter kayo sa forums para makita at makasali sa mga talakayan namin dito sa ZOH.

Humihingi kami ng paumanhin sa anumang abala naidulot nitong pangyayaring ito. Sana'y maunawaan nyo ang naging sitwasyon. Maraming salamat sa inyong pag-unawa.

Latest on my Youtube: Naruto Shippuuden ads on ABS-CBN!

Ito ang mga inilabas na ad ng ABS-CBN para sa pagdating ng Naruto Shippuuden sa channel nila. Lumabas ang mga ito bago magsimula ang Naruto Shippuuden dito sa ABS-CBN at nung unang linggo nito sa ere(January 28-February 1, 2008). Mapapanood ang Naruto Shippuuden tuwing lunes hanggang biyernes ng 5:30 pm o pagkatapos ng Pinoy Movie Hits sa ABS-CBN. Panunawa: Hindi lahat ng bahagi ng bansang Pilipinas ay nagpapalabas ng Naruto Shippuuden maliban sa ilang piling lugar katulad ng kalakhang Luzon(kasama ang NCR), at ilang lugar sa Visayas at Mindanao.

Ratings: Isang tapat na pananaw!

Ratings!

Isang salita na bukambibig ng mga die-hard Kapamilya o Kapuso fans sa mga forums ngayon. Isang salita na sinasabing "bibliya" ng mga TV Stations para mabuhay sa industriyang kinapapalooban nila. Isang salitang kontrobersyal ngayon dahil sa umano'y pandaraya ng isang TV Network para manguna sa ka-kumpetensyang TV Network.

Sa totoo lang, mula nang mauso itong salitang ito ay hindi na natigil ang iringan sa pagitan ng mga Kapamilya at Kapuso fans para maibida ang kanilang paboritong istasyon na kesyo sila ang numero unong pinapanood ng sambayanan. Mula ng nagsimula ito, puro numero na lang ang ginagawang basehan sa kung ano ang magandang panoorin. Wala na ba tayong sariling pananaw sa kung ano ang magandang panoorin at kung ano ang hindi. Maraming programa sa TV na mataas ang rating pero di naman maganda ang kalidad ng palabas at may mga programa na ang baba ng ratings pero maganda naman ang kalidad ng palabas. Nanghihinayang tuloy ako sa mga palabas na ito naipapawalang bahala dahil lang sa mababa ito sa ratings.

Sa totoo lang, dapat hindi na inilalabas ang ratings na ito sa madla at advertisers na lang ang makialam rito para hindi na maging basehan ang numero bilang batayan sa pagpili ng magandang palabas sa telebisyon at para matigil o kung hindi man ay mabawasan ang iringan ng mga maka-kapamilya o maka-kapuso.

Sa totoo lang, gusto kong balikan ang nakaraan kung saan walang alam ang mga manonood sa ratings na iyan. Nakakamiss ang mga panahong ito. Hay...

Muling nagbabalik ang Naruto sa ABS-CBN!

Para malaman ang buong detalye, panoorin nyo ang video na ito:



Sa ad na nakita nyo, sinabi roon na ipapalabas muna ng ABS-CBN ang last 12 episodes ng 1st series ng Naruto dahil nung nakaraang airing ng tinatawag ng ABS-CBN na Season 4 ay hanggang episode 208 lang ang naipalabas nila. Kaya itong last 12 episodes muna ang ipapalabas bago nila ipalabas ang 2nd series ng Naruto na pinamagatang Naruto Shippuden. Pero dito sa Pilipinas ay tinawag nila "Special Season 5" ng Naruto ang mga episodes na ito. Hopefully, ang maipapalabas ng ABS-CBN this time around ay hanggang episode 40 ng Naruto Shippuden kung susundin ang kanilang curren record na bumibili sila ng 52 episodes kada season o kaya naman hanggang sa matapos ang Rescue Gaara Arc na sa episode 32 ng Shippuden matatapos.

The Amazing Race 12(or should I say 11, not counting All-Stars) returns this November 5, 2007

Lace up your rubber shoes and pack your travel bags because the latest season of The Amazing Race is coming at you this coming November 4(November 5 here in the Philippines). Fortunately, Studio 23 didn't drop this series like Survivor so they will air this live on Monday mornings. I'm so excited about this breaking news.

For more info: go to CBS Network's Official Website

The Amazing Race 12 - Meet the Teams


YAHOO!

I'm much more excited about this one than The Amazing Race Asia season 2 which also will air this November. Even if the latest season of TARA will have a Manila leg.

New Jamibu Music Playlist

In-add ko sa aking blog ang bago kong music playlist. Sana'y magustuhan nyo. Kailangan ng headset para mapakinggan ang playlist ko. :)

Eyeshield 21 tagalog dub now on Youtube!

Sa mga anime fans na di masubaybayan ang tagalog dub ng Eyeshield 21 sa ABS-CBN, heto na ang chance nyo na mapanood ito.Isang Youtube user na ang codename ay T3CHN0M4GU5 ang nag-uupload ng Eyeshield 21 tagalog dub episodes sa Youtube. Sa ngayon,uploaded na niya episodes 1-5. Heto ang playlist ng Eyeshield 21 tagalog dub episodes ni T3CHN0M4GU5:

Eyeshield 21 Tagalog dub Playlist

Napakinggan ang aking pakiusap!

Natutuwa ako ngayon dahil sa nabalitaan ko nang muling ibabalik ng ABS-CBN ang Eyeshield 21 simula sa lunes, August 27, 2007, tuwing lunes hanggang biyernes ng 9:30 am o pagkatapos ng Yakitate Japan. Pero hindi ko muna lulubusin ang kasiyahan ko dahil kailangan malagpasan ng Eyeshield 21 ang 2 week probational period kung saan bawat magdaang 2 linggo ay nagpapalit ng schedule ang ABS-CBN. Sa oras na malampasan ng ES21 ang pagsubok na ito. Doon lang ako mapapanatag na magtatagal na ito sa ere.

Sana nga po(crosses fingers). :)

Ibalik! Ibalik ang Eyeshield 21sa ABS-CBN!

Ito ang aking matinding pakiusap sa ABS-CBN kung sakaling maligaw lang sila sa blog na ito.

Sa tingin ko ay maling desisyon ang pagkakatanggal ng anime na ito na sa huling telecast niya ay 10 episodes lang ang naipalabas rito. Ito rin ang dahilan ng pagkawala ng Weekday Hero Zone.

Pinaboran nyo pa ang telenobelang Innocente de Ti at ang bagong bihis na Kapamilya Cinema na ngayon ay Pinoy Movie Hits na ang pamagat.

Sana talaga ay maituloy nyo muli ang pagpapalabas sa Eyeshield 21. Sa ngayon, iniisip ko na lang muna na on-going pa ang series na ito sa Japan kaya tinanggal muna pansamantala.

Sa ngayon, hindi maganda ang lagay ng anime sa weekdays dahil sa mga ilang pagbabago sa schedule.

Ok, tama na muna ang sentimyento na ito.

Sa ngayon, enjoy na lang kayo sa music playlist ko sa imeem.com. Bisitahin nyo ako sa url na ito: http://jamibu.imeem.com/

Zenki OVA now on Youtube!

Sa mga Zenki fans diyan, uploaded na ang rare na Zenki OVA entitled "Kishin Doji Zenki Gaiden OVA: Anki Kitan" sa Youtube.

Kung gusto nyong makatulong, kontakin nyo na lang siya sa account niya sa Youtube.

Pasensya na kayo kung di updated ng blog entries ang blog. Medyo wala na akong panahong magkuwento ngayon. Mas busy na ako sa pag-asikaso ng Zen Otaku Honbu forums.

Sa ngayon, bye muna.
