Frictional Blog 13 [The Disappointment Edition]

BAAAMM!!!


So I'mma make this post as short as possible, since I miss my Playstation 3 so badly (awwwwww)... =(
Let's get it started, shall we??

Topic #1: Pro Wrestling - WWE Elimination Chamber is disappointing.


Last week I said that the build-up was poor.. Well, unfortunately the PPV itself is also the same.. Wow.. Well the 2 Elimination Chamber matches was exciting and all (definitely 2 match-of-the-year candidates here), but seriously, the WWE writers do not know what the company priority is, apparently.. Their most prestigious championship was on the line in the first match of the show?? This is ridiculous!! And what's worse is that the main event of the night was not even a world title match, but a vendetta/vengeance match between John Cena and Kane.. First of all, the PPV name is Elimination Chamber, which basically means that the Chamber matches should be the highlight, the ultimate showcase of the night.. Besides, the top 2 championships are being defended in the 2 Chamber matches.. But what did we get to close the show?? A meaningless, soap-opera style Ambulance match, with SuperCena winning again.. Hey yo, the reason for each and every one of the WWE Superstars to beat the hell out of each other day in and out is to be either the World Heavyweight Champion or the WWE Champion!! Not to settle his differences with some other guy in a match that has nothing to do with a certain event!! But anyways, here are some recaps from the show: CM Punk retained his WWE title by last eliminating the Miz in the 1st Elimination Chamber match of the night, which is a very great match to say the least.. Beth Phoenix retained her Divas title, defeating Tamina Snuka in the process in the best Divas match that I've seen in a very long while.. The 2nd Chamber match did not disappoint, as Daniel Bryan kept hold to his World Heavyweight title after a super-strong performance by Santino Marella.. Jack Swagger defended the United States title in an impromptu match against Justin Gabriel in a short match that was fun while it lasted.. Aaaaaand SuperCena kills Kane and all of the Big Red Machine's momentum in a very, VERY disappointing Ambulance match main event.. Overall, the show was not that bad, but the order of the matches and the choice of main event match just make you asking "What did I ever do to watch such a horrendous booking?".

Topic #2: Personal - My struggle in studying the English language being meaningless is disappointing.


So I got myself a Band 5 (from a scale of Band 1 to Band 6, with 6 being a Shakespeare-ish awesomeness-reeking language user and 1 being a complete retard) in my Malaysian University English Test.. I got a very poor scoring in speaking, but my listening (I got a perfect score for listening, by the way), reading and writing covers it up.. Which basically shows why out of 3 schools and a college that I've been to, 2 of them have had teachers that claimed me to be one of the very best novel American style writer that they had ever met - and I was only like what, 9, 10 years old?? Thanks to God and my family and friends for being very supportive for me, the struggle that I've been through to be quite good in my English was not so felt.. Until recently, when some guy from some university said that my band means ABSO-FRICKING-LUTELY NOTHING!!! Frick this!! He said that although I got a Band 5 and some other dude got Band 1, yet both of us have the same academic and co-curricular achievements, he might have a chance to be picked into the uni over me...... Are you serious bro? You have got to be fricking kidding me.. So I have to pay for a language test that I was told could help me be an ace in the selection of students for the universities and put a lifetime effort on it just to, well, be an ace, only to be told later on that even a Band 1 can be chosen over me?? Screw this.. I want, need and deserve my money back.. I didn't pay for this test to be put on the same shelf with other people who basically knows nothing except paying for and sitting for the test despite knowing almost nothing about their language.. Ahhh, funk it.

Topic #3: Personal - Not being taken seriously is disappointing.


So I've shared my story to some of my friends this past week.. You know, about my plan involving a newly-found sis and a former mentor who loves to issue challenges to me.. While some (in fact, most) of you have been really helpful with all your various solutions and guidance for me, most (in fact, some of the "most" in the former) have been laughing at me, claiming that I was, and I quote, "certainly joking"...... Do I look like I am joking? No, I'm not. I am 100% serious. If I tell you a story while I giggle, smile and laugh at times, does that shouts "I am playing around, and you need to follow that" to you?? Sweet cream on an ice-cream pie!! What in the blue hell of an answer are you expecting?? Hell no!! Hell no. I am being serious in this context. Very serious. Hell, I am dead serious. If this would cost me an eternal shame, then so be it. I just don't care anymore. This ain't about a challenge anymore. This is about me, my crush, my faith in her, my faith on my mother and my 100% faith in Allah S.W.T (God). If my former mentor is to take back his challenge, I would still do it. Why? Because I need to do something right. And if this is the right way, then I'll do it with arms wide open. If there's a bad outcome coming out of this, then shove it to me like a thunder striking the roof of a Prius. I have nothing to lose. As that mentor guy said, "Regardless of the answer, you will win. You will win my respect. You will win her respect. You will win her mother and family's respect. You'll win your mother and family's respect. Hell, even you would pat your back for the rest of your life, telling yourself that you did one heck of a job." The change - the revolution - has already begun. MY change has already begun. My change is not the way I plan it. It is how I make it happen. I will make it happen. On my last day at college, I will make it happen. I will not disappoint all of you who are reading this blog. I will not disappoint those of you who believe in me. I will not disappoint myself. No, I won't. I just will not. Yes, I like her THIS much. Now have faith, and follow that.

So that's all for this week. Make sure you check out all my previous posts, add me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter and subscribe to my Youtube. I'd so totally appreciate it. Until next time. Make sure you'll be there.

Frictional Blog 12 [The Just Don't Care Anymore Edition]

BAAAMM!!!


Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages.. Yours truly proudly brings to you yet another brand new edition of the Frictional Blog! Sheeeeahh! But for a change - a revolution, you might say - starting this post, the content of my blog will be toned down for quite a considerable amount.. First, there will be less "waste product" references (so you will be reading less toilet humors, and you may not find words like "craptastic" and "shiznit" in this blog, ever again).. Next, you will see less frictional stuffs on here.. Now don't you go pull-your-hair-out-of-your-scalp upset, please.. I just don't wanna have another wonderful relationship killed by the Internet, regardless of the person being my friend, family member, ex, crush, college gardener, school janitor, cafe cook, anyone.. So there will be less hate notes here.. Screw my IED.. If these voices are gonna be hating in my head, then so be it. Now, on to this week's crafty post (nahh, I don't think crafty is a suitable adjective.. try cra-- oh wait, nevermind).. Let's begin!

Topic #1: Pro Wrestling - My predictions on tonight's WWE Elimination Chamber.


So I wanna share my thoughts on the upcoming Elimination Chamber PPV with you guys.. Basically, the build-up is POOR. Seriously. I have never been this unexcited for a WWE PPV.. For the past years, Smackdown has been bringing up some of the greatest Elimination Chamber matches in history, but this year's lineup is very poor.. Sure, we have Daniel Bryan who is technically the best wrestler in the world.. And yeah, we have Wade Barrett and Cody Rhodes, two young stars who are making a great stride here as the future faces of the WWE.. And we have a veteran who is impossible to be disliked (man, he is like a giant teddy bear.. he's a guy that you would definitely like to hug, if you're given the chance to) in the Big Show.. But the Great Khali?? Khali?? KHALI!?!?!? Urgh.. And now Santino Marella's in the match.. Awesome.. I've always been a fan of Santino.. Here's hoping that he would use this opportunity to shine as bright as he could possibly be, as the chance to be in a main-event matches like this one doesn't come across very often for lower-midcarders like Santino.. My prediction is, as clear as crystal, Daniel Bryan.. Would be interesting to see my boy D-Bryan competing with Sheamus for the World Heavyweight Championship at the grandest stage of them all.. And as for the other three (yes, they have only booked four matches for this Sunday.. stupid) matches, here is what I am expecting.. Beth Phoenix successfully retains her Divas title against Tamina Snuka.. Hopefully this will be a lengthy divas match, given that these 2 women are such good performers.. And hopefully we'll see Kharma returning to set up her match with Beth at Wrestlemania.. The ambulance match between John Cena vs Kane would be a tough one to predict though.. I really want to see Kane wins, but they won't let John's momentum go downhill especially since Wrestlemania's around the corner.. But a loss for Kane would make him look weak.. My bet is that the Rock comes out and distracts John, allowing Kane to pick up the victory and not making John look that weak heading to Miami, Florida this April.. And for Raw's Chamber match.. Hmm.. CM Punk, Chris Jericho, Dolph Ziggler, R Truth, the Miz and Kofi Kingston.. The Miz will be the first one to be eliminated, I guess, by Truth, setting a match at WM.. Kofi may get the chance to eliminate Dolph, setting another match at WM.. And the winner, as much as I would enjoy watching Punk as the champ day in and out, I have to give it to Chris.. Then Punk will get his mandatory rematch clause and face Chris in (yeah, you guessed it) another match at WM.. So that's my opinion.. Yours?

Topic #2: Personal - What's with '9.9.2018'? What does 'nyh2dx' mean? And why is this blog called 'frictional'? 


Hahh, this is like a trivial column here.. Soooooo, what's with 9.9.2018? Well, as some of you might know, I used that date as my blog header and signature, up until last month or so.. Well, about that date.. It's actually a stupid promise that I made with my ex, hoping that the both of us could wait until then, but nahhh... Let's just say things didn't go very well for us.. Oh-kay, on to the next frequently asked question, what does my Twitter username, @nyh2dx means?? Well, back when I was 14 or so, two of the biggest tag teams at that time were the Hardy Boys and D-Generation X.. So I randomly came up with an initial that accumulates my initial (my real name is Muhammad Noorel Yaqin, so I took the NY), the Hardys (Jeff and Matt, the two of them, hence the number 2) and, well, DX.. And boom! @nyh2dx was born.. And why is this blog called frictional?? Well, this is kinda stupid.. When I first wanted to blog, I wanted to split my blog into 2 parts; a fictional part, and the reality check.. And since I couldn't come up with a good synonyms for "non-fiction", I just chose a word that sounds close to "fictional", which pretty much simplifies what the reality is: FRICTIONAL. And that's my story. =)

Topic #3: Personal - Major change to my long-term plan, which is no longer long, but I just don't care anymore.


Ohhh-kay. If you've been following this blog for a while, you would have noticed that I have been mentioning this 'plan' thingy repeatedly.. But I never told you guys the details.. Sorry to disappoint you guys, but hah! There's no way I'm telling you guys about it.. But here's some update on it.. Well, my journey is taking a detour.. But it's not any detour.. What I was planning to do in 5 years time, might need to be done by the next 2 and a half months! All thanks to a constant reader that I have never ever thought would be reading my blog.. You know I don't drop names in my blog, so I'm not gonna say anything about this guy.. But, wow. I certainly didn't see this coming.. But you know what? I don't care.. Sir, if you're reading this, let me tell you.. I am accepting your challenge, and I will do it the way you want me to.. The way I have to.. The way our religion teaches us to.. I accept!! I will do it, and as you have promised, you will respect me and like it! Now I don't really think I can do this, but nonetheless, I will do it.. If that is what I need to do to be respected by you, her, her family, my own family, my acquaintances, my friends, myself!.... Then that's what I will do.. I've promised that I will change for the better.. And if this is the route, the path, the right way to be taken, then I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have, and cannonball all the way to the end!! Now follow that!!

This is stupid.. But according to a great philosopher that goes by the same name as me (oh wait, it is me), "stupidity" = "perfection".. And with that said, it's time to wrap this session up.. Please check out my previous posts, add me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter and subscribe to me on Youtube.. So that's it! Thank you for wasting your time here.. Nap time! GTS. Until next time.. Make sure you'll be there.

Faith. Follow that.
