Turn your house into a home with 0% [insert credit card name and promo here]

Just saw this headline / subject in my inbox and it outraged and saddened me greatly. I'm not sure if the one who thought and approved of this email doesn't know what home means or that the definition of home is now reduced to material stuff. Maybe this is one of the reasons why broken families and showing off material things you do or own in social media is the norm now. Indeed, animals are sometimes better than humans as their definition of home, family and love do not change with the times.

Baywatch (2017) film review

I watched Baywatch over the weekend and I didn't think that after reading the reviews and having a lower expectation about the movie based on the reviews, I'd still get disappointed. Maybe I still had higher hopes since it's starred by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. And after watching the first few minutes of it, I know that it will be a corny one but I didn't expect it to be that corny all throughout. I think I enjoyed the bloopers more than the film lol. I'm just glad I saw David Hasselhoff in the movie. And I couldn't help but think that he has grown old. Which means I am old as well lol. My rating: 3/5 stars.

Exercise for the mind and body

I have been itching to write for some time now... there are a lot of thoughts running through my head on things I could write (or rant). Some of them insightful while some might raise a lot of eyebrows if I were to share them in public. So I'm reviving this blog and let's see if I can keep this up again.

~~~~~~~

I should always exercise. I notice that when I do in the mornings, it keeps me lively and happy during the rest of the day. Household chores are easily done too. And it relieves my back pain. Unfortunately, I don't have that strong self-control to train myself to do just that. Especially since I'm hooked on some mobile games. But the worship service lesson taught last Wednesday really motivated me a lot.

The verse 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 states that "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. ²⁵ Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever."And since some of my motivations to be healthier is those joining the American Ninja Warrior, I can very well relate to the athlete analogy.

And so I started Thursday doing exercises. I still don't have a regular set of exercises but will slowly get there. And hopefully, I can maintain doing the exercises regularly as well blogging.

Potato Couch

Been wanting to post in a long while but not finding the right time. Or the mood for a long or wordy post lol. So what's keeping me busy these days? Well, I've been watching a lot of TV series and here are my favorite TV shows.

And here are other shows I'm waiting for the next season to be shown

So yes, I'm really busy

THE LIFE OF A BUG

Found this article and aside from it's kinda funny, it also explains the bug well

The life of a software bug may be described as follows. A bug is born when a person makes an error in some activity that relates to software development, such as defining a requirement, designing a program, or writing code. This error gets embedded in that person's work product (requirement document, design document, or code) as a fault.

As long as this fault (also known as a bug or defect) remains in the work product, it can give rise to other bugs. For example, if a fault in a requirements document goes undetected, it is likely to lead to related bugs in the system design, program design, code, and even in the user documentation.

A bug can go undetected until a failure occurs, which is when a user or tester perceives that the system is not delivering the expected service. In the system test phase, the goal of the test engineer is to induce failures through testing and thereby uncover and document the associated bugs so they can be removed from the system. Ideally the life of a bug ends when it is uncovered in static or dynamic testing and fixed.

Punch the stress away

Stress is part of daily life. It can be caused by our profession, our friends and family, or our environment. But it doesn't mean we have to live a life full of it. As one being stressed out by what matters most to me, I need to find a way to cope with this and luckily found this article.

The Gifted

It's been awhile since I watched a Tagalog movie, whether at home or in theaters. But I'm happy I was able to sales-talk my mom to watch The Gifted with me (this wasn't done recently lol).

The Gifted is not a mystery or horror movie but a comedy, dark comedy as the casts plugged it. Though I don't know the difference between dark and not dark comedy lol.

The movie started with a book signing event by an author played by Sam Milby. He read part of his book (not really a part because that's the whole movie lol). It's a story about 2 very intellectually gifted girls, both not physically attractive but have different society status in life. Zoe played by Anne Curtis comes from a rich and "healthy" family while Aica played by Cristina Reyes comes from a poor family.

The story revolves on how they became friends and later on rivals to be the class valedictorian and to get the same guy.

It's a fun-filled movie, though there's a very cool twist at the end of the movie which shows what is the reality behind the story / book.

For me, I'd give it 8.5/10 stars
