"ATM!" by DEV


The 2012 suspense film “ATM” starred three, talented, young stars, but failed to deliver a bone-chilling film to match. That’s what I think, and apparently, most critics think so too.



Story and Concept: I loved the concept. It’s what most experts would call a “claustrophobic thriller”. Why claustrophobic? ‘Cause it features three officemates trapped inside a little ATM. I loved the idea of having a strange man trapping people inside an ATM in the middle of the night. It’s what I would call an adventure. But the plot didn’t fulfill most of my expectations.

Most of the story didn’t make sense. Who’s that mysterious person? What does he want with Cory, Emily and David (the main characters, respectively)? Why did he trap them there? Questions that, up until the end of the film, were not answered. 

The plot twist would have been great, but I kinda wanted to know what was happening in the first place. Plot twist? Good. Twisting a plot that nobody understood? Bad idea.

Setting: In my psychotic opinion, the setting was great: An ATM in the middle of an empty parking lot, late, late at night. A mysterious man has appeared out of nowhere, and he looked dangerous. They were safe, only because the ATM’s doors were locked from the inside. But they’re wondering why the man hasn’t busted in yet (‘cause I’m sure he could) Nevertheless, if they chose to stay inside, they would freeze to death because of the wintry temperature. The setting was good. It provided just enough scary detail to horrify a claustrophobic. 

Acting: Like I said, the actors were good. It’s the story that brought it all down. The characters lacked common sense, and that’s what ultimately led to their demise. I mean, the strange man didn’t even have a gun! AND there were three of them, against one person who was only smart enough to kill a rabbit. Unfortunately, the characters seemed to have the I.Q. of a rabbit. That figures. 

Sound: My only complaint: The Christmas song at the beginning made it seem like a comedy movie for me. Only until the ATM scene did I realize that I signed up for horror. The rest of the soundtrack was good.

Direction: Can we blame the director for a badly-explained plot? Maybe. But I don’t think so. The direction was good. It did feel like a credible horror film. I only felt it lacked certain details. In fact, I would have liked the movie if everything made sense.

Overall: I would give it a 2 out of 5 rating. It scored two points for a good cast, a good setting, a good premise and a good plot twist. It lost two points for not being able to tie it all up into one great movie. AND it lost another point for not giving the characters the sense which is common: Common sense!



There you have it folks, my review for the 2012 movie “ATM”. All I can say is there’s no point in crying over spilled milk. Hey, maybe next time.

"This is Not a Message About Global Warming" by ARK




It’s a cold afternoon. Right now, it’s easy to imagine snow falling outside the window. Though that’s only in my head, the weather still reminds me of the Christmas season.

I like it. Surely if I tried to sleep now, I’d get sweet dreams. I’ll snuggle up in bed and hug my warm blanket… But that doesn’t seem like a good thing to do. Somehow, something doesn’t feel right. Something doesn’t fit. Oh, that’s right. It’s SUMMER.

It’s been a rainy summer, and it’s not supposed to be like that. It’s not supposed to remind me of Christmas. It’s supposed to be hot. It’s supposed to remind me of beaches and pools.

This isn’t a message about global warming. I don’t want to preach to you about that. Garbage is 
everywhere, anyway. The ozone has a huge hole on it, anyway. What can a single message do?

It’s not like nobody’s tried. A lot of people care. Some of us “love” Mother Nature enough to cut down trees, make paper, and write “save the trees” on them. Sarcasm aside, some people actually do care about Mother Nature. We do all we can to save her. That’s what love is.

After all, everything we do, no matter how small, matters. We are just tiny bacteria, residing on Mother Nature’s skin. It’s funny how we can choose to be good bacteria, or bad bacteria. We’re that small anyway. Unfortunately, some choose to make her sick.

I can’t say I blame the innovators either. Technological advances are bound to happen. The world is bound to change. Of course! How else are we supposed to live without all these things that never existed before we were born? How will we survive without all these gadgets that make life easier? That goes without saying that it’s slowly killing all of us.

Sarcasm aside, I benefit from technology too. Some are admittedly cool, some are admittedly functional. Some, however, are too accessible to the public that they became trends, and no longer useful tools.

We can’t actually choose. We certainly can’t keep both. It’s either Mother Nature, or Modernism. And sadly, Mother Nature is on the losing side. It’s inevitable and it’s horrifying. The only planet we can live on is…nevermind.

I’m not preaching, by the way. I’m just saying that I’m bothered by all these changes in the weather. I’m just saying that maybe you should be bothered too. This is our home, after all.

"Ruined Surprise!" by DEV



Sharing this because it's happened to me several times. LOL.

This never happens to my goodie-two shoes brother. Yeah, life's unfair.



"Creativity" by ARK


When I saw this particular piece of furniture lying around on our living room, I just knew I had to feature it on my blog.

This was made by our grandmother, recycled from an old tree decoration. She apparently cut out all the orange leaves and replaced it with all these stuffed toys.

When asked why, grandma said she was bothered by the leaves. I agree, the leaves did clutter our living room. And I always felt an eerie presence around that tree (Dev used to tease me for this). That tree has transferred all around the house, but it never seemed to fit anywhere.

Which is why, grandma mustered her creative skills and transformed the eerie furniture into an artistic decoration.

I call it the Tree of Creativity.



Well, my grandma’s cool that way. She’s transformed a lot of things around the house. By using a bit of her magic, she has made our house more than a structure, and more like a home. J

“10 Crazy Ways to Get Internet Famous! by DEV"

Most of us want a little more attention than we already do in the real world. And since not all of us can be Hollywood stars, some settle for the easier way of getting famous: The Internet.

I, Dev, will show you how to get more attention on the web than anybody else who could call themselves: “Internet Famous”

1.       Tweet a million times on your favorite celebrity’s profile, saying how much you love bananas. Prepare to get sued. But hey, this is what will actually grant you fame, and it’s well worth it. 

2.       Take a picture of your own face, making sure to strike a photogenically ugly face. Turn yourself into an internet meme and make a complete idiot out of yourself- people love idiots.

3.       Make a Youtube video of yourself, skydiving…without a parachute! I’m telling you dude, you won’t just get internet famous, you’ll make the headlines too! Oh wait… You don’t wanna die yet, huh?

4.       Reenact the “2 Girls 1 Cup” viral video. I haven’t watched that yet. But I heard it’s pretty awesome. Might as well tag me, and all of your closest friends to the video.

5.       Sell a paper clip online and trade it for something more valuable (like, say a pen). Continue trading the pen into more precious items until you gain yourself a house. Brag online about your achievement and wait until your new house gets robbed. Just kidding, somebody actually did this and managed a slot into the Guinness Book of World Records. Now, don’t be a copycat.

6.       Beg the celebrities to add you as a Facebook friend. Convince them by crying. Add everyone you know: Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Jane Lynch, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Iron Man, Bat Man, EVERY STAR ON TV! Then brag online about how all these celebrities “begged” you to add them on Facebook. 

7.       Create a music video. I have a suggestion: Perform a mash-up of Rebecca Black’s “Friday” and Double Take’s “Hot Problems”. Spice it up with poor effects, poor vocal ability and bad choreography. Claim to be the best singer ever and that you should replace Michael Jackson as the King of Pop. Haters gonna hate.

8.       Spread online messages of world peace. Start a war against everyone who doesn’t reply or participate.

9.       Start an online piracy service that lets people download songs, movies, pictures and games, ABSOLUTELY FREE! Make sure that your business is completely LEGAL.

10.   Start an awesomazing blog entitled: “Dev and Ark: A Shared Blog”. Collect minions and dominate the world. Just kidding…only the internet.

There! Do at least one of these cool tricks, and you’re bound to get internet famous.

Disclaimer: DEV and ARK will not be responsible for deaths, injuries, lawsuits, etc, during attempts of gaining internet fame.

LOL. Have fun! And remember, it’s ALL about the attitude and determination.

"Positive Outlooks" by ARK


Feeling a bit down?

I’ve got a little recommendation, to help you see the brighter side of life. “Positive Outlooks” is a page I found on Facebook, and I’ve been browsing it for quite a long time now.

Positive Outlooks has been around on Facebook since 2011, and they've been spreading the positive aura ever since. 

I rarely visit the page, but every time I do, I find myself getting a little more confident than I was before. That’s mainly because I visit Positive Outlooks whenever I find it hard to think positively. I rarely experience that, ‘cause I’m a positive-thinker. This page is good for those pessimists out there, looking for a new outlook in life.

According to the page:
"A positive outlook is contagious. Infect everyone and take away the blues. And just so you know we LOVE HUMOR. We believe it is the physical form of positivity. We cannot change you. We can only offer your a different perspective and laughter!"

The people there are great: the admins post inspiring quotes and funny pictures that will definitely cheer you up. The fans of Positive Outlooks are great too. They are a community of optimists. In fact, I see them as one big family thriving to stay positive. They help each other by boosting their morale. You will rarely find a Facebook page as inspiring as this one.

Here is an example of their posts:


Surround yourself with positive people. Find them here: http://www.facebook.com/positiveoutlooks :)


Smile. :) 



"Random Trivia!" by DEV



1. The human brain tends to "forget" 80% of the things you learn every day. Chances are you my even forget this later. 
Dev: Trust me, you won't remember any of these trivia. They don't mean much anyway. That's why they're called "trivias".

2. Music has a ability to repair brain as well as return lost memories. 
Dev: It has the ability to ruin your ears, too. It's worth it, though.






3. Today, there are more people on Facebook, than there were on the planet 200 years ago.
Dev: Well, there were dinosaurs too, right? And they lived in peaceful coexistence with humans. Right???


 4. Watching T.V. reduces the desire for physical activity by 57%
Dev: Got that right!!


5. Google makes about $700 a second.
Dev: No way you could spend that much money within minutes.


6. All throughout history, women have on average, always lived longer than men.
Dev: No comment on that one. I wanna live longer!


7. Putting dry tea bags in smelly shoes or gym bags will absorb the unpleasant odor.
Dev: Try adding water too, while you're at it.

8. In the original Sleeping Beauty story, “Prince Charming” rapes Sleeping Beauty and impregnates her, and it is the subsequent children that wake her by sucking on her finger.
Dev: So much for the Disney version...

9. Cursing raises our pain tolerance by about 50%.
Dev: @#$%^&!!!! Hey, it works!

10. There is a children's book titled "Go The Fuck to Sleep."
Dev: And since it's nighttime here already, I suggest, you follow the children's book.

"Cat Pig!" by DEV


This is a little drawing I made when I was in high school.

He's a pig disguised as a cat. And he's awesome.

I dug it from a notebook I used to doodle on. Scanned the pic, and colored it with MS Paint ('cause I like using MS Paint)

We shall name him Cat Pig, and he shall forever be my pet. :)







Another awesomazing drawing made by yours truly. :D

"Contentment" by ARK


I took a little look around me and found that I should be thankful for all those things I have. I should enjoy all these while it lasts. Nothing is permanent, but contentment is forever.

I saw the electric fan I never noticed before. I more often complained how perpetually hot it was inside the house. I never thanked the fan for doing its job. I remembered all those moment when I thought I would dry up ‘cause of the burning sun. I couldn’t be thankful enough that I’m here being cooled by this fan, instead of somewhere else, dripping with sweat.

I saw my bed. It needed a little tidying up, ‘cause I always forgot how much I loved it. It’s lumpy, but it fit me perfectly. Though I could sleep in any situation, that bed was the only one that truly brought me good sleep. I couldn’t be thankful enough for having my own bed, instead of having to sleep somewhere else.

I saw my study table. It was organized, but it needed a little dusting. I used it often, but I never fully understood its purpose. I did many things on this table- created many things. Now I couldn’t be thankful enough for having the right to use this. Going deeper, I couldn’t be thankful enough for having a proper education, instead of not having any and wondering about my future.

I couldn’t be happier that I have the right to a great future. I’m so happy, that I’ve made it a goal to reach it. I’m gonna reach that future by admiring all these little opportunities, that I’m so blessed with. And when I reach that future, I’m gonna see how big everything’s become…and then I’ll remember that they used to be the little things.

"What I'll Miss About Summer" by ARK



Summer is almost at its end, and in a couple of weeks I’ll be returning to my life as a regular college student. I miss school already, but of course it’s a normal feeling. It’s also a normal thing to miss summer during school days. It’s a cycle of discontentment.

Here are the things I’ll miss about this year’s summer (and all the other summers in general):

1.       Blogging regularly- With all the work I’ll be doing, I won’t be able to do this regularly (maybe Dev could keep posting, but that’s just because he doesn’t like school). I’m sure you’ll miss my posts. Just kidding.

2.       Rest and relaxation. I constantly seek this during school days. All the free time to do absolutely nothing: the feeling is liberating. Not minding anything for even a while could be heaven sometimes.

3.       Warm weather (HOT weather, actually). The sun has its way of making us feel its presence. By making us sweat endlessly, summer reminds us that we should take baths. This particular summer has been irregular, though. Rain sometimes invades the season of the sun. That’s not cool. Even the weather goes moody nowadays. Blame global warming.

The perfect weather for me is waking up to a sunny morning, and ending the day with rain. This always boosts my mood (that is despite the fact that this almost never happens, and when it does, it only does so miraculously)

4.       Food. I eat more during the summer. That’s enough said. 

5.       This computer. I won’t get to use this as often as I do now. Come to think of it, I’ll be using this mostly for homework and research soon. I can’t begin to imagine the boredom.

6.       Swimming pools. I’ve only been to one pool this summer, but that’s more than enough. It was one of the most enjoyable outings Dev and I ever had. Pools are fun, especially if you have floaters with you. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not that scared of water. I just love the feeling of having one floater on my head, and one floater for my legs. That brings you the joyous sensation of lying on a giant water bed (literally).

Not to mention all the pool tricks Dev learned this summer. He learned to do a front flip, a back flip (sort of) and a handstand, underwater. He’s more athletic than I am, but I support him anyway. DON’T tell him I said that.

7.       My family. I get to bond with them more during summer.

School is cool and all, but summer has its perks too. I’m gonna miss this summer, especially when I’m starting to get buried alive with schoolwork. But summer will always return (unless global warming has anything to say about it), school won’t always be there. I miss my friends too, so maybe it’s time to say goodbye to summer.

"Torchlight!" by DEV


"Torchlight is the best game on my computer right now."
-DEV-


I’m getting addicted to it, so get ready for some biased criticism.

Torchlight is the best game on my computer right now. That’s no surprise, ‘cause its competitors only include Plants vs. Zombies, Angry Birds, and some other PopCap games. These games used to be equally addictive, so I’m not actually saying that the games suck.

Its toughest rival on my PC is Diablo 2, which was produced by some of Torchlight’s creators.
Now let’s get on with the review:

Graphics: Not that I’m good with graphics or anything, but Torchlight is quite a good game to watch. The entire thing looks like a cartoon, from the characters, to the setting.
It’s not nearly as violent as Diablo, and I’d say that’s a good thing for the younger gamers out there. I even appreciated the function that allowed you to disable the “blood”. Less violence, more fun (well, not always. But for Torchlight, it works wonders.)

Gameplay: At the beginning, players are made to choose from three, different characters: The Destroyer (Torchlight equivalent of Diablo’s Barbarian; center), The Vanquisher (ranged fighter with a flair for guns and bows; right) and The Alchemist (the resident wizard; left) 

I personally prefer the Alchemist, ‘cause I don’t have a thing for huge swords.

Next, you are made to choose and name your pet: you either choose the dog, or the “cat” (which really looks like a tiger to me)

Your pet will be a huge help during your quests. It will aid you in combat (not that you need it), store items for you, AND sell them to merchants. This comes in handy if you need space in your inventory but don’t want to waste time going back to the towns. This saves a lot of your “adventure time”. 

During the game, you will follow a story which leads to quests. You may also choose to help out the townspeople by completing quests for them.

By fighting monsters that range from zombies to giant spiders, you gain Experience and Fame. Experience makes your character stronger, but I’m still not sure what Fame does, though.

Sound: The game’s soundtrack is likeable: Nothing notable about it.

Overall: From some of Diablo’s creators comes a Diablo “clone” that doesn’t disappoint. I’d give it three stars out of five.

In general, I approve of this game. It’s awesome AND amazing… It’s awesomazing J







Awesomazing… that’s a cool word.

Just something I wanted to share. :)




And it's true. :)



"The Otherworld!" by DEV

I just copied this from a post on Facebook, and I thought it was pretty awesome. And creepy. :D

READ ON FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO TRAVEL TO THE OTHERWORLD.

DO YOU WANT TO GO TO THE ''OTHERWORLD''

Then follow this steps.

People are talking about going to otherworld. I don't know why they want to but there's a way for them! Whatever the O world is, i dont wanna go there. I love this world! :)

You must be in a 10+ storeys building and in the elevator alone.I...f someone is in the elevator with you, it won't work.
1. Get on the elevator on the 1st floor.
2. Press 4 and when you will reach the 4th floor, don't get out and press 2.
3. When you reach 2nd floor, press 6.
4. When you reach 6th floor, press 2.
5. When you reach 2nd floor, press 10.
6. When you reach 10th floor, press 5.
7. When you reach the 5th floor, a girl will come in. That woman is not human. Don't talk or look at the girl. If you do, she'll take you away.
8. Press 1, and if the elevator instead starts going up to the 10th floor, then you have succeeded. You will have reached another world where there is no one except you.
9. If you get off at the 10th floor,the girl will ask, "Where are you going?" But don't answer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




To return:
1. If the woman doesn't get on oq if you don't get off at the 10th floor.
2. If you don't get off at the 10th floor, then press 1. If it doesnt work, keep on pressing until it works.
To return after you get off:
1. You must use the same elevator to go back.
2. Do the 4-2-6-2-10-5 combo again.
3. After you reach the 5th floor, press 1.
4. As you're going up the 10th floor, press some other number to cancel.
5. After you reach the 1st floor, check your surroundings.
When you return to your house after you faint:
If you were to faint in the process and wake up to find yourself in your own house, there's a high chance that you'll be taken back to the world again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What the otherworld looks like:
It looks the same as the town/buildling that you are from, but all the lights are off and you can only see a red cross in the distance.
There is no other living things there except yourself.
Some say electronics (cellphone, camera, etc.) don't work while some say they do.
Also, some say that getting back to the real world is harder for some reason.
You get disorientated and forget the elevator you came on, or somehow the elevator seems to get further and further away as you walk towards it.



Will you dare try? :)

“Laziness” by ARK


Right now, I’m writing on this desk, preparing my next post for my blog. I’m doing this mainly because I don’t want Dev to dominate the page with his posts (which by the way are silly. I told you, Dev isn’t a good writer)

But then I realized that I’m doing this because I didn’t want to be glued to my bed. I had a moment of enlightenment. That’s why I didn’t succumb to laziness.

It’s a waste of time, creativity, and energy. Yeah, slacking off wastes a lot of energy too, you know. When you lie in bed and do nothing, you actually do more than you think.

First, it takes energy to daydream. It’s hard enough to think of something to daydream about. Straining, isn’t it? Plus, daydreaming can sometimes remind you of all the problems you are trying to forget. And thinking about problems is a tiring job. What more if you actually have to solve them?

Next, it’s tiring to find a comfortable lying spot- especially if you’re bed is lumpy. The decisions you make could actually affect your slacking-off time.

Another thing: ANTS. Sometimes you’re just too lazy to eat at the dinner table, so you find yourself munching on your own bed. And what do you find the next day? Ants, enjoying the crumbs of what used to be your food. It’s tiring to get rid of a whole platoon of ants (and I bet you won’t dare let them stay there) 

Not to mention you have to turn on the fan (or the air conditioner), search for the perfect pillow, and plunge yourself into the guilty thoughts of undone work. 

You see, it’s exhausting to be lazy. I say you try what I’m doing and channel all that lazy energy into something more productive.


Here are a few things to do when laziness visits you:

1.       Start a blog! It’s an effective way to express yourself, and improve your writing skills.

2.       De-clutter your room. By doing that, you literally reduce the stressful things around you. It’s good for your aura.

3.       Exercise. Burn off those calories instead of gathering them. 

4.       Socialize. By that I don’t mean Facebook or Twitter. I mean, really talk to people. It would improve your speaking skills. Who knows, maybe you can convince them to do your chores for you? Just kidding. Don’t use people.

5.       READ MY BLOG. I’ll admit, Dev’s posts are good sometimes, too. But my posts are WAY better, so please waste your slacking time by reading them.

“There is a time and place for everything.”
Laziness only messes up your schedule and wastes the unrenewable resource called TIME.

"Jessica Sanchez" by ARK


I still think this girl on the picture should have won American Idol...
She's got a great voice and a great future ahead of her.
Not that I have anything against Philip Phillips, but I totally lost my bet with Dev...

I just read a few tweets a while ago, and a lot of people are lamenting over the fact that it's been five straight years, wherein a "white guy with a guitar" won American Idol. David Cook, Kris Allen, Lee DeWyze, Scotty McCreery, and now, Philip Phillips.

They all deserve to win, 'cause they're talented, but how about all the talented ladies? For five years, only guys have won. Is this because most of the voters are females?

Well, it is America's decision after all, and we can't argue with the results.
Congratulations to the newest American Idol: Philip Phillips.

-ARK-
He's an amazing singer too, by the way.

"Philip Phillips!" by DEV


Hurray! Philip Phillips won! 'side from the fact that he's unique and original, he'll definitely make a good album.
Wait, 'til Ark hear's the news (he's on team Jessica). 

BWAHAHAHA.

“Goodbye” by ARK


Aside from the fact that this is the title of Glee Season Three’s finale, I actually want to talk about goodbyes.
No need to get sentimental now. The episode almost brought me to tears, but it didn’t. What I really want to talk about is having to face the future.

Like most of the Glee characters who graduated during the episode, someday we’re all gonna have to step out of our comfort zones and take a huge leap into the unknown. It made me realize: What do I have in store for me? I know that not everything will be served to me on a platter. So…what do I plan to do? What do I want and how will I reach them?

Well, I do have a plan. It’s a work in progress. But until I reach that, I’m gonna have to keep an open mind, so I don’t miss out on all the amazing opportunities that are bound to come across me. Don’t get me wrong- It’s good to have a plan for your future. I’m just saying you should be ready for unexpected twists and turns. Life’s not a straight road. It’s curved and bumpy. There are traffic lights too. Be patient, if you wanna reach your destination.

Back to the Glee episode: some characters were faced with some obstacles that, I’m sure, won’t be resolved until the next season. An example is Kurt Hummel (the openly gay kid who faced a lot of struggles with his sexuality, but achieved a lot throughout the three seasons) who auditioned for the New York Academy for the Dramatic Arts (N.Y.A.D.A; a fictional college) and didn’t make it. What will happen to him? Nobody knows yet, but Kurt isn’t one to give up.

Another character, Santana Lopez (a cheerleader), has big dreams involving fame and fortune. But the thing is she doesn’t know how to get it. We’re all like this at times. We know what we want, but aren’t determined enough to grab them. Near the episode’s ending, Santana decided that she really wanted to go to New York and fulfill her dreams.

One of the show’s highlights, centers on the main character, Rachel Berry (the Jewish girl with big dreams and talent to match). She dedicated most of season three preparing to enter N.Y.A.D.A. to ready her for Broadway. She got in, but she didn’t want to go to New York without her boyfriend, Finn Hudson. In the end, she had to let him go to face her future. Like I said, we must accept changes, and step into our future, no matter how painful it is.

And with that, I say goodbye to Glee Season Three, goodbye to Rachel Berry, and goodbye to inhibitions regarding my future. You should do the same. Let’s all say goodbye to stress and to all our worries. If there’s a will, there’s a way. J

“Too Much Drama” by ARK


I wonder if it was scripted- the whole Chief Justice Corona walkout thing. I bet it was. And I blame it on bad timing, and poorly-rehearsed scenes.

Just yesterday, during the impeachment trial, the Chief Justice himself apparently walked out of the session hall, and reappeared later on a wheelchair. This act offended certain people, particularly the senate president Juan Ponce Enrile. The senate president felt disrespected by the way Chief Justice Corona excused himself from the trial.

Corona’s lawyers claimed that the Chief Justice experienced hypoglycemia (abnormal drop in blood sugar), caused by the fact that he had skipped his lunch.

Now the question is, is it true? Was it really hypoglycemia? Or was it staged so that the trial will be postponed until later? Well, that’s what happened anyway. The impeachment trial will resume later at 2 pm, as declared by the senate president.

I personally don’t buy it though. I believe the Chief Justice intentionally walked out and was told to fake the illness to excuse him. And that’s not good publicity- which was his original target.

He mentioned that he wanted to clear his name for all the accusations faced to him by the prosecution. Had he not walked out, his emotional appeal plan could have worked. Hey, who knows? Maybe it did work on some people… But I’m not one of them.

*sigh* Too much drama is going on right now. Too less justice is being achieved.

"9gag Rocks" by DEV


Me Gusta!









I’m starting to like this blogging thing. Why? ‘Cause it centers MY thoughts. Soon I’ll be famous for being the best blogger ever!

But yeah, I forgot that this is Ark’s blog too. He’s only getting in the way of my internet fame. Please do ignore him, readers.

Anywho… I’m here today to talk about one of my favorite websites: 9gag! (www.9gag.com)
If you don’t know what “me gusta” means, it’s probably because you do not know one of the awesomest sites on the internet. Visit the site and you’ll like it too, that’s for sure.

You know, most 9gag fans (a.k.a ‘9gaggers’) are soulless creatures. That’s no joke! It’s said that when you begin to habitually visit 9gag, you’ll start to lose your soul! Cool eh? But of course, that’s just to say that you are gonna be spending a lot of your not-so-precious time browsing the said website.

It’s basically just a collection of internet memes (pronounced as “meems”) that have made the whole cyber world laugh out loud. Take a stroll through the countless posts and you’ll find yourself laughing at your monitor (well, sometimes)

After all, it is “the easiest way to have fun”. All you need is a computer, a comfy chair, an internet connection…That’s quite a lot, and it’s not so easy after all. But hey, who doesn’t have a decent internet connection nowadays?

Simply type the word 9gag on the search bar (you’re not stupid, and I’m sure you know how to browse websites) Voila! You’re ready to have a good time.

I still recommend standing up, shutting down the computer, stepping outside and exercising. But I’m just kidding! Nobody does that anymore, and we don’t actually NEED exercise, do we? Let’s just all get fat and have diabetes.

But seriously, you will have a great time visiting 9gag. I’m no endorser, but I just think it’s a good way to get rid of all the stress we face in life. AND 9gag is worth losing your soul to. Just make sure you divide your soul, just in case you discover a better website.

Go ahead and “meet the memes”, I’ll catch up to you later. Bye guys!
