Happy Hearts Day pt.2

Happy Hearts Day everybody. This is my second post with regards to this wonderful event. As you may have heard by now, im moving blogsites. I mentioned on my previous that this post would be my last post before i move and go on hiatus in blogger. Apparently, the next one after this post would be my last one. So for those followers of the site, please wait for a bigger update in store (i'll probably announce it on Monday) The big change is coming..... Just hold on a little longer

To celebrate this once a year event (btw, me and my pancake already celebrated it a day earlier to avoid the lovers rush on malls and restaurants) i will be posting a mixtape. Now, i know thi is a dangerous move for my blogsite but what the heck, this will be available for a limited time. Be warned though that this mixtape doesn't include any pop-boyband-novelty songs but the ol' fashioned mikepopo way.... rock! hehehe!

The mixtape will include from the likes of Yellowcard to Spongecola, Ang Bandang Shirley to Jimmy Eat World.... Heck John Mayer is included inside.


Again, Happy Valentines Day to each and everyone.

Happy hearts day everyone (2 more posts before the change)

First of all, i would like to greet each and everyone a happy valentines day. May you guys and girls celebrate valentines with your loved ones whether with a partner, family, friends, previous love ones and so on. Yes, im very regretful to say that this will be my 2nd to the last post for points of interests here in blogger (if it's not only because of the music issue i posted previously, then none of these would have happen.)

Unless the issue is cleared, i might (and i say) might come back to blogger. But don't you worry guys, this blog will not be closed, the new updates can be found on my other blogsite where placing posts with regards to music won't have any problems (for now)

Anyhow, the big change is almost near. I just need to fix some more things. If you want a preview of what to expect, click here

Thank you and till the next post.

Again, happy Valentines Day to each and every one.

P.S.
Left 4 dead rocks. Im playing it together with my former officemates and sure enough, the game is very entertaining. I recommend you guys try it

The big change.....


Yep, you heard me right. There will be big changes on this blogsite

(i'll give you a hint: a new host)

Why you ask? it's because of this story (Thanks squared for the heads-up)


Story here

Yes i know, im not a pirate nor my blog is an instrument of music piracy. But as some of you readers may not have heard or seen. A few weeks ago, my blogsite was flagged for what reason? i don't know. Turns out that the year-end mixtapes that i made available for download was considered a pirated music stuff. After i deleted the links to the said mixtapes, the flagged status has been removed.

And so the big change.

Don't worry, i'll keep you guys updated as to the status and new home of Points Of Interests. Keep your bookmarks updated and stay tuned....

Ahh the month of love..

It's been almost 2 weeks since my last post. Sorry for the delay. Anyway, Im still preparing up for the video blog im doing for points of interests.

What is it you may ask?

Well, it has something to do with computers and counting....

Wait for it soon.

In the meantime, Here is the segment i call

What's Up?

- Im still looking for ways on how to turn this blogsite into pointsofinterests.com. I need a cheap webhosting company for me to be able to do it.

- I got the Eraserheads Reunion DVD and i must say that it's worth every penny. I especially liked how they performed "Lightyears". You can really feel the emotions of Ely as he delivered that song. As much as i wanted to upload the whole concert on youtube, i know that i would be violating the agreement. And besides, i don't want to pirate my favorite band in the land, the band that inspired me to play musical instruments. I am proud to be a Eraserheads fanboy! hehehe! If you got 395 pesos, better get the DVD.

- About last week, i went out with a couple of former officemates from my former company. Catching up old times....

- Recently, i have been doing my "Demo Reel" for video editor. And it made me think, when will i finish the game im making right now (this one is for the game developer reel thingy) Maybe someday.... but im sure im gonna finish that game no matter how long it takes.

- Been playing Tekken 6 and the upgrade for it "Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion" and after importing my character in the game to the new upgrade (i'm using Bob btw) and so far, im liking the experience and feel of the upgrade (well, except for those cheap shot bastards that does the same combos over... and over... and over.. again.) As far as i can remember, i ranted about this matter right at this post.

- Please visit the newest blogsite in town called "Gamepulsive" It features game reviews, news, previews and other stuff. What makes this site differ from others is because of it's contents and the people behind it.

-Also, for dukes out there, drop by "The Grand Duke" blogsite.

- Im still on the transition phase. But that doesn't mean that i'll be leaving the world of game development. I'd still continue.

- Thanks squared and jar for the info about placing embedded playlists on blogsite. For thos of you who are listening to my playlist, im sorry to say that i'm removing it for a while.

So, that's what's happening. Valentines day is fast approaching. Advance Happy Hearts day everyone.

As for the person whom im willing to spend all my life, mnmkbp999.

El-Doble Celebracion (2 celebrations) Part 2.....

Hello and welcome back. This is the second part of my post for my 2nd year here at Points of Interests. Last post (before the commercial break) was a video blog. Did you guys liked it? Well, that would be one of the major changes here at Points Of Interests. I'll be doing video blog entries every now and then. But before the site-related changing news, let's go first to the segment i will call:

What's up?
- 3 days ago, a double celebration was made. First up would be 1+2=12 = 1. A personal event but nevertheless, a very memorable one. MNMKBP999! Oh, and it's the second year of Points Of Interests. Went on to do my video blog (sorry for i was stuttering) and then later on, went to SM Megamall to celebrate the "Personal" celebration.

- I was browsing the net the other day and yeah, i found the neat article in Kotaku. Worth reading especially if you are in the Game Development scene.

- Reached Level 65 at Call of Duty: World at War (Im using a legit copy of the game) If you happen to see me (using mikepopo) do sit beside me and watch the fireworks display courtesy of yours truly. heheh!

- Downloaded the FEAR 2 demo and yeah, Alma has already grown up. And so is the terror. Hehehe! Can't wait to play the full version.

- Currently hunting for the Eraserheads: Reunion Concert DVD (i heard that it will be out by the end of month) Im gonna get it.

- Also hunting for Duter's album. If you have no idea who they are, this is an all-girl band composed of Katwo Puertollano (Narda
) on vocals, Kris Gorra (Fatal Posporos and Cambio) on guitars, Myrene Academia (Sandwich) on bass, and Ristalle Bautista on drums.

- Went to a company exam from a certain company (i won't be mentioning the name of the company) and i have one hint. This would be a career change for me (or should i say, back to the roots)

- Last Sunday i was in Fairview. Nice day by the way. hehehe!

And so i would like to ask for your suggestions. Im planning to have a weekly video blog entry. One thing is for sure, i would be doing video blogs about computers and music. But im thinking for another category to video blog on. This is where i need your help. Can you give me any ideas as to what to blog about? i have a couple.

- Weekly top 10
- Food exploring
- Recommends (movies, music, etc.)
- Rants
- ?

Any ideas? pleas do drop by a message and i'll make sure to answer all of them

Thank you for supporting Points Of Interests and rest assure, changes will be made to make this blogsite really something to watch out.

Take care now, Byebye then!

Nice article before the 2nd part of El-Doble celebracion

Hi guys! hope you liked my previous video blog entry. Before i get to the 2nd part, i have a commercial break. A very nice article to read on taken from Kotaku.com


Sounds interesting? is it the hard truth about the said issue? you decide!

Next up: part 2

El-Doble Celebracion (2 celebrations) Part 1.....


Wednesday, January 21, 2009

Turning 2...

Yes, Points of Interests will be turning 2 on the 26th of January. (co-incidentally, i will also be celebrating another occasion) I have looked back at my previous posts and i would have to say that this blog turned out to have some memorable posts here, there and everywhere. Rest assured that Points Of Interests will continue through the years. And so begins my new posts:

- Recently, i have said goodbye to my old PC (named Sempie) and said hello to my new rig (named Dewey) Sempie will find a new home in Fairview and it will be our legitimate electronic child (hehehe!) So don't worry sempie, Mommy Pancake will take care of you

- New rig = New possibilities. Yes finally, the game i have been doing will finally come to life. That's the main reason why i upgraded my rig. Also, i can finally finish my portfolio.

- Went to the DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs) to renew my passport. As for why, i dunno? maybe someday me and my pancake will leave the country (and i will build her empire there) hehe. Nah, it's for future use. Who knows?

- Been to interviews and exams here and there. All i can say is that yes, this is a new year, new beginning.

- The Eraserheads rumor i posted last time became true. Now that's journalism. hehehe!

- This blogsite will transform as it turns 2. Watch out for it.

- If you are an avid follower of the anime series that is Naruto: Shippuuden, yep, you may have heard that Dattebayo, a fansubbing group who translates the anime we love through the years finally stopped the subbing distribution of Naruto. That's because Vizmedia acquired the rights for the said anime. Too bad.... but don't worry, if you know your resources, you can get the latest episodes on you-know-where. heheh! Im guessing that Bleach will follow it's fate soon.

- Red mobile is fun and i love it.

- Congratulations to the team behind Jumble Madness DS. The game is already released worldwide. Kudos to the team and team alone. heheh! Also, to team Moorhuhn: Star karts.

- Call of Duty: World at war players out there, i will see you all soon.! The suicide bomber is back! hehehehe!

So there you go.

New posts, random thoughts, random stuff.

Keeping the spirit of Points Of Interests alive.

P.S.
For those of you who are asking what does "MNMKBP" stands for? Well, it's for you to find out.

The final set has been nailed... Eraserheads part 2

To all you Eraserheads fans out there (Like me!) There have been rumors of another concert (This would be the second set of their now famous "08308" Reunion concert)

Well, our prayers have been answered.

Rumors abound that the concert will be entitled "The Final Set", and this would happen at March 7, 2009. Guess we don't have to wait that long for them to be onstage again and play the much-rumored second set that did not happened during the concert.

Rumors about that they are still deciding whether it would be held again at the fort or at the SM Mall of Asia grounds. This concert would be sponsored by Smart and MTV Philippines.

*Update* okay, i found the link for it. Now we just have to wait.

Also, in another Eraserheads news, their reunion concert DVD would hit store shelves by end of January.

Can't wait to get my hands on both tickets and the DVD.

If i would be given a chance to make their second set, this would be my list

1. Playground
2. Maskara
3. Hula
4. Back to me
5. Poor Mans Grave
6. Spolarium
7. Huling el bimbo
8. Magasin
9. Overdrive
10. Balikbayan Box
11. Pare ko
12. Minsan


But then again... i could only wish for them to play this setlist.
