Had a good Saturday

 

Wow… what is this?

www.segarrajakarta.com

That wasn’t there the last time I was in Jakarta… man that city is just jumping by leaps and bounds… carrying the small elite minority to an international level…

…while leaving the poverty majority looking even worse than ever.

But what am I saying? Next time I’m there I’m definitely visiting that place lol

gawd, this is a funny one…

Baki. The ultimate fighter.

Yes, it’s a manga. You all know (well if you know me at all) that I love manga. I read them alot and on many many different kinds. Alot of it is action (Shounen), but a couple comedy or high-school life ones aren’t that bad.

And yesterday, I read Baki. Grappler Baki. I was never really impressed with the art when I read a chapter or two in the past, but today I decided to read a little further.

And boy was I surprised. The art is… unique… to say the least. Something that won’t sink in when you only read 2~3 chapters. After awhile though, it’s a different story. But the action…

….the bloody action. Literally. Is crazy.

How do I explain it? If you like fighting, bloody, gruesome, deadly, majorly kick serious-butt fighting… this is the manga for you. I can’t even count how many times I mumble “ho…ly…s**t” as I flip through the pages.

It’s insane.

Here… I’ll give you a sneak peak from the sequel series, New Grappler Baki chapter 35.

LOL so I found this website………. www.invadenewzealand.com

Definitely worth the few seconds watching the video…

Oh, and a little neat tool I found called…. Firebug! and a little quick guide to get you started.

First off we got a succesfully tested air-to-ground laser turret by Boeing. Yes, you read that right. Laser.

Then we have the TRUE (possible) weapon of mass destruction… the Large Hadron Collider. This thing tests some of the very basic of atomic collisions, such as the black hole and big-bang theory… all the while possibly generating a black hole the size of a city that can engulf our solar system….. awesome! (oh, and it’s pretty too)

Large Hadron Collider

…uh… this is Thursday. crud. Ok, that’s even better…..

Just wanna let people know a few stuff, I suppose…

HTC Touch Diamond review… Wow, better, cheaper, faster, and (arguably) nicer phone than iPhone?? No way…. read the review! Oh, and definitely check the video review on page 2…. schweet!

And make sure you read the full review too… comes bundled with Adobe Reader, Office productivity pack, Java and Flash player, synch with Outlook??? Blackberry… be afraid… be very afraid…

Next stuff is an email I got… which is pretty informative! Check this out (yes, this is true to the best of my knowledge – I have 3 uncles that are doctors)

HEADACHE? EAT FISH!
Eat plenty of fish — fish oil helps prevent headaches.
So does ginger, which reduces inflammation and pain.

HAY FEVER? EAT YOGURT!
Eat lots of yogurt before pollen season.
Also-eat honey from your area (local region) daily.

TO PREVENT STROKE DRINK TEA!
Prevent buildup of fatty deposits on artery walls with regular doses of tea. (actually, tea suppresses my appetite and keeps the pounds from invading….Green tea is great for our immune system)!

INSOMNIA (CAN’T SLEEP?) HONEY!
Use honey as a tranquilizer and sedative.

ASTHMA? EAT ONIONS!!!!
Eating onions helps ease constriction of bronchial tubes. (when I was young, my mother would make onion packs to place on our chest, helped the respiratory ailments and actually made us breathe better).
