Frictional Blog 8 [The Smoke And Mirrors Edition]

BAAAMM!!!


This is a so totally random post.. Seriously.. Nothing can get any closer to randomness than this post..Just a quick update about what's going on my mind right now.. But before that, the clear any doubt that any of you have ever had on my truthfulness, here, let me tell you once again; I AM ONE OF THOSE FRICKING GUYS WHO FRICKING BELIEVE IN WHAT THEY FRICKING WROTE. Anything and everything that I am, was and will be writing here will be 100% true and 0% SMOKE AND MIRRORS. Booya. Now, no specific topics for this time, just a couple of paragraphs full of rants (and maybe brags, cause that's what I excel at).. So let's get it on!

So, if I'm not mistaken, to my knowledge there have been 5 constant readers of my blog.. Oh-kay, not really.. Is it? Here's the setlist.. First is an awesome New Zealander chick that I met on Facebook.. Oh wait, she's not a constant reader.. In fact, at the only time she read my blog, she was soooooo filled up with Jim Beam and Coke, so technically she hadn't read my blog.. Then we have 2 of my practicum mates.. And then we have a I-don't-give-a-damn-if-you-are-still-breathing-on-this-planet-or-if-you've-stopped-doing-so, backstabbing, facecrushing "friend" (repeat this phrase with a super-duper-ultra-hyper-mega-kilo-giga-tera tone of sarcasm) who I seriously could not care less about.. Which leads to the newest visitor of this nobody-gives-a-crap-about-the-existance-let-alone-wants-to-read blog.. MY FRICKING S.O BEST FRIEND. Ho. Ly. Shiznit. So now what? Should I throw a huge PIPEBOMB on her here? Let's see.. Should I complain about how I dislike the way she's calling me bro and inadvertently forcing me to call her sis? Or should I talk about how much I despise the way she let me go (she literally stabbed me right in the face! well, not really. oh-kay, she figuratively stabbed me right in my face)? Oh should I speak about how pathetic I am, keeping on giving her a huge amount of respect despite everything that she had put me through? Nahh, maybe I shouldn't be doing all that.. Oh wait, I just did? Oops. Here's to a burnt up friendship that I'll continue to salvage until the end! :)

And with that said, you might be wondering if she has learnt about my ridiculous crush on my 'sister'.. And yes, she has.. So what? You ain't gonna be hating me on that now, will you? Go on and choose any path that you desire - I won't stop you - and let me choose mine.. Don't get me wrong; I am not looking for another fight with you, I am just trying to make several things between us crystal clear. I am using this blog as a medium between me and myself, hence all these crappy words I used throughout it.. I cannot cope with all these voices in my head.. I let them speak themselves out HERE.. So please accept all the words that you read here very kindly, and please disregard any harsh comments that I have made on you or whoever else.. Now let us shut this stupid case close, and let's talk a bit about my sister.. Haha, she's being soooooo awesome that I couldn't stop respecting her for just being herself.. And that's the keyword; respect. Something that you can try asking for but you may never get it, unless you really deserve it.. And my sister deserves every ounce of respect that I am both showing to and hiding from her.. Haha.. And I am still sticking to the plan that I have (not really. oh-kay, let's use the word roughly here) roughly stated in the past couple of posts.. So go ahead, run and tell that, homeboy!

And I guess that's it for now.. Be sure to add me on Facebook to keep your butt up to date, as I'll notify you guys everytime I post a new monologue-ish composition here.. You can also add me on Twitter, though I rarely tweet.. And to my S.O best friend, although I would imaginatively bitchslap you for breaking my heart, I would like to thank you for being a good friend to me.. Until next time.. Make sure you'll be there.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoaoaoaoaoaoaoaoaoa whoa! Hold on! Suddenly something came up across my mind! What if my sister is actually reading this blog? I know she constantly tells me that she wouldn't because she doesn't really understand my Shakespeare-would-be-so-glad-that-he-died-before-he-gets-the-chance-to-read-it literature masterpiece here (hehe), but then again, you may never know.. One minute the sun shines bright, the next thunderstorm may blow you away.. One thing's for sure, if when she reads all this, I'm so totally dead. Oh-kay, that's all.. Until next time.. Make sure you'll be there.

Frictional Blog 7 [The Show Off Edition]

BAAAMM!!!


Hello again everybody and welcome to a post that is best described with a word: pointless. Yeah, I actually don't know what to talk (or blog) about, but I feel like I need to talk (again, or blog).. Besides, where else can I show off my incredible writing ability.. So, let's just have a quick one-way chat now, shall we??

Topic #1: Movies and Pro Wrestling - Crossface is a stupid idea for a movie


Damn.. That's the word that came out on my mind when I heard the news about someone buying the rights to make a movie about Chris Benoit's final days.. This is stupid, ridiculous and somewhat disappointing.. Well, very disappointing.. First of all, how can you make a movie out of not only an unfortunate incident, but an assumption of what might had happened to the Benoit's family.. Hey, at least all the JFK assassination movies is based on something that is certain.. This double murder-suicide case is only an assumption as the police couldn't find any evidence to assume that all these 3 honorable persons were killed by someone else.. And to think that this movie can somewhat bring you closer to the last days of the Rabid Wolverine, with his wife Nancy and son Daniel, is just bull crap.. This movie is just a terrible idea.. I don't even think I'll watch it.. Oh wait, maybe I will, just to see how messed up this movie will be..

I will always respect Chris Benoit. Nuff said. Oh-kay, next..

[intermission]: Gaming and Pro Wrestling - I seriously need WWE 12


Numerous websites are claiming it to be the greatest wrestling video game ever made, and I haven't get my hands on it yet?? Are you serious bro!?

Topic #2: Music and Pro Wrestling - WWE Music Group's 10 latest releases


While some of you might have noticed, I'm sure the rest of you are totally ignorant of the fact that WWE is selling the entrance themes of some of its Superstars and Divas on iTunes for about 99 US cents per song.. This is actually good, as the digital music market has started to reach its highest peak recently.. And although the in-ring product is getting quite stale (*nodding head in disappointment*), the music is so totally badass! So here are the 10 latest single releases, now available on iTunes (and Youtube.. try searching for these songs there)..

Hunico's theme: Respeto by Reychesta Secret Weapon
Cody Rhodes' theme: Smoke And Mirrors by Jim Johnston
Dolph Ziggler's theme: Here To Show The World by Downstait
Daniel Bryan's theme: Flight Of The Valkyries by Various Artists
Jey and Jimmy, The Usos' theme: So Close Now by David Dallas
AJ's theme: Let's Light It Up by Kari Kimmel
Alicia Fox's theme: Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Party by Jim Johnston
The Miz and R-Truth, The Awesome Truth's theme: The Awesome Truth by R-Truth
Sin Cara Negro's theme: Maldicion (Curse) by Jim Johnston
Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston, Air Boom's theme: Boom by Jim Johnston

By the way, noticed the name Jim Johnston all over the list? In case you haven't heard, he is a composer who has been working with WWE for the last 15 years.. In fact, most of the theme songs you listen to in WWE TV today was composed or edited by him.. He is that damn good.. Now follow that.

Topic #3: Personal and Frictional - And I will start ranting pointlessly from this point forward


As I said earlier, I have nothing to talk about.. So bear with me as I ramble and stutter around throughout the next couple of paragraphs..

So I have finished my first semester of college.. And guess what? I got an A for Biology, another one for Mathematics, and a couple of those for Chemistry and Physics.. Which basically means I got a 4.00 pointer.. I WAS SO TOTALLY NOT EXPECTING THAT. Wow. Bunch of thanks goes to Allah S.W.T, my mother, brother, rest of my family, my teachers, lecturers, friends, mates, broskis and/or broskettes.. I am now one of, if not the best, in the world, and I could have not get this far without all your support and help.. Oh, and of course my newly-found sister.. She has helped me soooooo much all along the past 6 months.. She was being very cool and awesome to me.. Hell, she is very cool and awesome! And to add up to that, she also got a 4.00 pointer for the last exam.. It's amazing to get to know her, you know? She's being very helpful and respectful towards me, and I respect her for that.. I respect her as a sister, and I will always admire and adore her for being the women that she is..

You know what? I think I have a crush on her.. Haha.. But seriously, I think I do! But hell no will I be telling her about that! Just, no, you know.. I have had enough.. I don't want to be in any part of a relationship.. Not anymore.. At least not now.. And not for the next 6, 7 years.. And then I'll go with the plan I stated in my last post.. Oh wait, I didn't state it? Well then let's just keep it to myself.. :)


And that's it! For now, of course.. Thanks for checking out the 7th edition of my Frictional Blog! Shoutout to my sister.. Such a shame that she might never learn of the existence of this blog.. She's so awesome.. What's my point again? Oh, whatever.. I am done! Until next time.. Make sure you'll be there.

Frictional Blog 6 [The Comeback Edition]

BAAAMM!!!


It's back, baybee! What's back, you ask? The man's back! Who's the man? Yours truly, of course! Haha.. Well, it's been a while since I last posted here, and there's a number of reasons for that, but I'd rather not talk about it.. All I have to say right now is that me and my then-S.O are now just best friends.. I'd like to avoid any arguments with her from this point forward, so I'll just keep my side of the story for myself.. Yeah.. Sucks, ain't it? Anyway, lets talk about something else..

Topic #1: Pro Wrestling - This is why I respect CM Punk


Well, recently Evan Bourne has been suspended for 30 days for violating the WWE Wellness Policy.. If you guys haven't heard of this policy, it's kinda like a rulebook that says "thou shall never use drugs without a doctor's prescription to do so" or something like that.. This announcement that was made on WWE.com sure caught me by surprise though.. I don't really expect him to be tested positive on any kind of drugs.. But then again, over the last four months we've seen like 5 to 6 suspensions.. Heath Slater, Darren Young, Sin Cara, senior referee Mike Chioda, developmental wrestler and Tough Enough winner Adam Leavine.. We've seen illustrious careers ruined by drugs, with the most essential proof being Jeff Hardy.. And those drugs have even caused the deaths of many great men and women of this sport.. Eddie Guerrero, Umaga, Test, Crash Holly, and of course, the drugs have been the major catalyst of the infamous double murder-suicide case of Chris Benoit and his family (yeah, I just mentioned Benoit.. PIPEBOMB!!).. So sad to see that people I look up to rely too much on these 'medications' in their lives.. I just don't wanna see another one of them leaving us way too soon.. Not a single one of them.. At least I know one of those guys I look up to does not do drugs, neither does he drink (I would like to mention Scott Hall here.. he's a great guy) nor does he smoke cigarettes.. Yes, I'm talking about the Straight Edge Savior himself.. The Voice Of The Voiceless.. The so-called Best In The World.. I'm talking about CM Punk.. This guy is awesome.. If only he can save this whole world from those horrendous killers we labelled as 'pills'.. That's why I respect him.. That's why I believe that the WWE should be pushing him as the face of its company.. Besides, he has a great set of in-ring skills, and not to mention, his PIPEBOMBS!! So yes, instead of pushing steroid freaks like Batista and his new clone Mason Ryan to the top of the company, Vince McMahon should give Punk a chance.. And I hope to see more of Evan Bourne once he return.. I'm a huge fan of him, much like I was of Jeff Hardy.. Oh-kay, next..

Topic #2: Gaming and Pro Wrestling - WWE 12 Universe Mode looks very promising


I wanna keep this short and sweet, so I'll jot down some new features in the WWE Universe mode of this highly-anticipated reboot of the WWE gaming series..


1. Championship Match Control. In last year's game, you could only have a title match at the PPV, and you couldn't change the participants nor the stipulation of the matches.. It's all predetermined by the game itself.. What a shame.. But this year, you can have a championship match wherever you want, whenever you want! Whether it's on Raw, Smackdown, any PPV, or even Superstars! And you can put whoever you like in that match!

2. WWE Draft. As soon as Wrestlemania ends, the Universe mode will put you through the unpredictable annual draft, just like on TV!

3. Storylines. They have cutscenes from inside the ring to the backstage area, for character developments and relationships, and now you can even interfere in any of the matches that you like!

4. Streamlined Match-Flow TV-Style Presentation. You now have the opening theme and pyro for every show you play, and now you can proceed from one match to the next without returning back to the main Universe menu.. Sweet!

5. Injuries. Now I can sideline John Cena for 2-6 months by repeatedly hitting him with the Rough Ryder! Hell yeah!

6. Momentum. When, say, CM Punk is on a crazy winning streak, Punk's attributes with slowly rise up, making him better than what he already is! Although, when you're constantly jobbing like, say, John Morrison, then your attributes will drop..

7. Create-A-Show. I don't really dig this, though.. But we'll see..

And that's it for the WWE 12 Universe Mode.. For now, that is.. I'm sure there will be more to come..

Topic #3: Personal and Frictional - My college life


Oh-kay, so now I'd like to talk about some of my broskis and broskettes at my college.. But before that, for those of you who are reading my Frictional Blog for the first time, then proceed with caution as you may come up to some harsh words and crazy confessions on your way through the end of this post.. So please skip this part if you're the no-enemies-for-me, easily offended type of person.


Now, assuming that those of you who are not as bad as me have left this page, allow me to begin the frictional-ish part of this post.. Firstly, yeah, I just said that I'm a bad guy.. At least I have the guts to admit my weakness, as opposed to some of you who hides behind the mask of purity and acts as if you are a good person.. I've tried to be good before, and where did it brought me? Nowhere but here, on the ground floor, as some of you used me to escalate and elevate your lives to a better place, a higher level.. I am sick and tired of being held down.. No more, please.. No more.. So, does this has anything to do with my now-'best friend'? I don't know, you tell me..

Now, let's talk about my college buddies.. We initially have a total of 8 boys in our practicum, and 2 have left the college.. One was awesome.. A very good friend.. He's the first guy in my practicum I talked to.. The other, well, is a total jerk.. A prick who thinks he is better than anyone and everyone around him.. And he also thinks that he can get his way to any girl that he finds very attractive.. Well screw you, prick.. I have never liked you, ever since I first laid eyes on your Stephen Jerzak-ish appearance.. The major difference between Jerzak and you is although he's hot, he still keeps his cool.. You, sir, are not hot, although you think you are, and you're not as cool as you think everyone would say you are.. Get it? Got it? Good.

On to my next buddy, who is staying at the farthest block from the lecture halls and tutor rooms.. I couldn't care less about him, since that's how much he cares about me.. Sometimes I feel sympathetic for myself, for caring too much about people around me, who might not even care about me.. Which brings me to a fella who lives in the same block as mine.. He's good and all, but he is being too critical that he just seems to be ignoring other people's thoughts.. And when I say "too critical", I mean "wayyyyyy too extremely, overly critical".. Seriously.. It's like each and every single thing that I do which is not right according to his craptastical philosophy needs to be criticized by him.. The way I walk, the way I dress, the way I sleep, the music I listen to, the acquaintances I make.. Hell, take for example the fact that I love to drink Pepsi.. I know it's harmful and all, but do you really need to trash me with some harsh words and make me feel like a sore, pathetic loser every single time you spot me drinking my favorite beverage? Hell, you hum to the tune of your favorite music everyday, and you don't hear me whine and complain about how crappy your taste of music, right? So please, you have your own way, and I have mine..

Now, the 3 of my favorite broskis (just learned that Broski is now a trademark of the WWE.. will I be sued for using that word here? I hope not).. One is residing in a room one floor below mine.. He's a good guy.. Hell, he's great! But the only problem with him is that he does not notice that I would wait for hours for him.. Maybe even days! But he just does not give a crap about me! For instant, if I'm going to grab my lunch, I'll always stop at his room to ask him if he wants me to buy him anything, or even ask him to join me.. The problem with him is that he would never come up to me to offer his help! The only time he will look for me is when he's trying to get out of a mess that he had made, and then he goes off with his rude style of bashing my door, sometimes leaving it open when I am in need of a privacy time (eg. sleeping, just came out of shower, etc.).. And the best part of it is that he has absolutely no regret of all the times he did it.. And all the times he left me to go to the cafe, or the mosque, or classes.. And the times he declined harshly when I politely asked him to hold anything that is in my hand for just about less than a quarter of a minute as I wanted to buy something at the corporation.. Yes, even the littlest bit of things happening in my life, I will remember it. Don't you dare think that I will let you people take me for granted. Don't you dare try to stab me in the back. Don't you dare stomp my head to the ground. I won't take it kindly.

Then I have a good friend, who is quite a good listener.. And I enjoy listening to him too, though I can't really understand his accent, since he's from the East Coast.. He's clever and all, but he's so modest.. He's got a good hold of religion, kind of like that guy living under my room.. Although I'm closer to that under-my-room guy, I'm pretty much more comfortable with this East Coast guy.. At least he's never been a prick to me.. And my last broski, he's a basketball player.. Man, I always thought that being an 180cm guy is tall, but he is wayyyyy taller than me.. He's a good friend.. Always there when I need him.. And he really cares about me, as much as I care about him.. He's a year older than me, but that is not a barrier of our friendship.. He does not make it feel uncomfortable to talk to him about anything, eventhough we're not of the same age.. He's awesome..

Now I don't wanna waste like another 45 hours trying to write about all the girls in my practicum, but I would like to mention one.. She's so good to me.. She's a year elder than me.. She's like a sister to me.. So kind.. So gentle.. That is, if you don't really know her.. She thinks she's kinda rough, but nahhh, I don't think so.. She's petite.. Frankly, she's super-duper-ultra-hyper-mega-giga-kilo-tera cute.. Haha.. And trust me, I never lied on my compositions.. I am the kind of guy who believes in what he writes.. Anyway, back to her.. I feel so comfortable with her, you know.. As if I can say anything that is crowding my mind to her.. And seriously, I can never do that to anyone else.. Except for my mother, of course. And yeah, I couldn't even do that to my now-'best friend'.. Again, back to her.. Sometimes I feel like I'm putting half of the weight that I carry on my shoulder onto her, and I feel guilty for that.. Yet still, she doesn't feel any burden from any of the problems that I've shared with her.. At least that's what she said.. Who am I to know what she truly feels? She's been so good to me, that I've stated and admitted that I really like her on several occasions.. Maybe she didn't notice.. Maybe she never will.. Hahh.. Back on my first day with my practicum mates, I couldn't remember a single name of my new mates, except for two.. The awesome guy who's left the college, and this girl.. And everytime I sit in the lecture halls or tutor rooms, I always feel like she outshines everyone.. Have I fallen in love with her?? Haha, I don't really want to think about that right now.. For now, she's my sister.. She's the second best sister that I could ever dream of, only behind of my late sister.. She appreciates me, and for that, I appreciate her.. Thank you so much.. You know, I actually am planning on doing something.. Maybe in 6, 7 years time.. I'm planning on prop......... Ahh, I'm telling you guys a little too much now.. I better stop here..


And there you go! My comeback edition of the Frictional Blog! Bunch of thanks goes out to all of you guys who inspired me to write this.. Maybe I typed too much this time, but I really needed it.. It kinda calms me up, you know.. With everything going around my head every now and then (God knows how much of a load it is), I need a place to ease my mind.. And where can I do it best besides here? My sister? Haha.. Booya. Wait for my next post.. Until then.. Make sure you'll be there.

Frictional Blog 5 [The Job Edition]

BAAAMM!!


What is up you guys? I am back to talk about something that most people of my age has been searching, finding, doing and even quitting from.. A job.. Haha.. I'll try to make this post very short.. I don't wanna take plenty of your time.. A couple of minutes are just necessary.. So here we go..

So I have just finished my secondary level education last year (well, a couple of months ago to be exact).. So I'm currently waiting for my final exam's results.. You know, that month-long test known as the SPM.. Well, if you're a citizen of Malaysia then you definitely know what I'm talking about.. This period between the exam and the results are reckoned to be filled with interesting activities.. And by "interesting activities", I mean working your butt to get some experience and, of course, money.. Woo woo woo, you know it.. But hey, I was the one who has said to them that I ain't getting a work.. No way am I going to work in this not-so-short-yet-it's-not-long period.. But look who's getting called up to work.. Yes, it's me.. It's me.. Haha.. How did this happen??

Some time early January, my S.O got online on Facebook and chatted with me.. Oh, great times.. Hey, each and every moment involving her is a great time.. She told me that her mother had sent her to work at this fast food restaurant.. And I was like "Really?? Cool!! I'll be applying there right away!!".. Yes, I said that.. Several days later (can't remember, maybe the very following day), I went there and asked for a job application form.. She was there! Oh, the very face I always want to see everyday, smiling back at me as soon as I entered that place (with a huge smile, of course).. Anyway, back to the form.. I never filled it.. I never did.. I didn't think that I should be applying for the job.. It's cool though.. I could visit her there anytime I want.. At least I thought I could.. And I never did.. Then I think of something drastic.. Next month..

"I've made up my mind.. I'm going there, apply for a job and come back home!" said yours truly.. And I did.. Went to a photo shop (not that photo-editing crap, but a photographic shop) but it was closed.. So I went to the fast food place to, again, ask for the form.. She's not there.. But I noticed that the cash register has her name on it.. Haha.. Awesome.. I went to my big bro's office and filled the form, and we went back home.. The next day, there I was, standing or sitting (can't remember), talking to this guy over there (he's awesome, polite, hardworking as hell).. I believe his name is Bally or something.. So says his nametag.. Anyway, gave him the form and a passport-sized picture of yours truly.. And he said he'll call me in 3 or 4 days.. And now I have a job!! But not there.. (???)

Well here's what happened.. A week has passed and I heard no ringing on my phone at all.. That day I planned something quite good (at least I thought it was).. I forced my S.O's best friend to come with me, to hang out with my S.O.. Three of us had a great time.. She seems to be happy to see her best friend visiting her at her workplace.. I went to another restaurant that day to apply for a job.. That place is just a thrown stone away from her workplace.. So I gave it a shot.. And now I'm employed.. Now yesterday, me and my mother went to my S.O's workplace.. She's not there.. Day off, I guess.. We asked that guy (Bally) if there's any vacancy for me.. And he said that he'll definitely call me as soon as possible, as there are some vacancies there.. And now I have no idea where to work at.. My employer said that they'll give me a week of tryout.. So if this job sucks, then I'll definitely be working with my S.O.. Been hoping for that for quite some time..

So that's it.. Until next week.. Make sure you'll be there..

Short note to my S.O: Last night, I read some of the letters you gave me last year.. Miss you..

never let this go
