Upon reading Nick's blog I was hit with the stone hard truth. No matter how much I tried to tell myself that I liked Transformers, it wasn't working. The movie just sucked. It had absolutely no point. No story to back up all the action. Now I'm not saying the action wasn't bad, that was probably the only good thing about the movie - and Megan Fox. But I mean, bringing up the Fallen only confused the mush of a plot from the first film. I mean if Megatron was the Fallen's top disciple/apprentice and if the Fallen was so powerful, then why the hell didn't he revive Megatron in the first film? And why didn't he kill Optimus Prime and all the other Autobots together with Megatron? Wouldn't that have been better? And Megan Fox...hmm...She is really hot. But I think they overdid it. She passed off more as a pornstar-esque character than Sam's girlfriend. Her beauty was unbelievable in the first film but it was just overdone this time around. Her acting is another topic. IT WAS CRAP. She looked bored out of her mind the whole time, like she would rather go film a porno or something. Especially with the way she was dressed and posed. She made and broke the film. The only decent acting in that movie, as much as I hate to say it, was from Shia. I don't like him too much but he did a good job passing off as a college kid. But Michael Bay worked his magic once again, seemingly the only thing he can do, and worked out amazing, unbelievable special effects. I was amazed. Sound was also very nice. But I walked out of the theatre thinking to myself, "What was the point of this?", "Why did I watch this?", "WTF, Megan Fox looked liked a guy half the time, yet I was still attracted to her hotness?", "Am I gay?", "WTF HAPPENED?", "WHY THE HELL WAS IT SO LONG?", "I'm hungry", "Optimus Prime is the most BADASS ROBOT EVER", "I want my money back"

2.5/5

+Good Special Effects

-Everything else about the film.

Done with complaining about how crappy the movie was. But I'm glad to see some improvement in my SAT scores. My score started out at a lowly 1760. But now it went up
to the second highest score at my tutor place. I'm not gonna say what it is. Here's a really good website, nytimes.com it helps. A lot. Seriously. God, I love Korea. I feel so good here. Like I've finally come home. I love it.

Yesterday

Was bomb. Hung out with Dain and Jane. Transformers 2. Good food. Had really good burgers. Fun stuff. Came home. Tired. Had some cleansing drinks (water guys geez) *ahem* Went on AIM. Slept.The End. That was fun.

My Mind

Is going crazy! It darts all over the place. I remember things from countless years ago. So many different feelings flood my brain I don't know which ones are true and which ones to discard. I feel like I'm being bombarded with useless information from the media and people. I'm so confused I don't even know what or how I feel right now. Tired, happy, pissed, grumpy, crabby, baffled, smart, stupid, sagacious, nerdy, excited. My mind is a big blob right now. I'm having some crazy dreams too. And everywhere I look I see freaking SAT reading passage questions and grammatical errors and mathematical equations and math problems! I need more sleep. I've been running on like 2-4 hours of sleep for the past two weeks. Not good. I'll just drink all it away this weekend. Soju night! YEAH!

Summer

My feelings of this summer are that of ambivalence and ambiguity. I want SAT classes and my hospital work experience to be over quickly, but if that were to happen then I would be left with only a few weeks to enjoy Korea. I guess the only solution is to enjoy everything I do to the full extent and go crazy on the weekends.

Can't wait for Saturday for two reasons: end of SAT for the week and wakeboarding :) I love how you get those little bright points in your life that makes everything, all the hardships and problems you've been through worth it all. I love life. I just hope I scored at least over 2000 on my practice SAT otherwise, I'm gonna have another depressing night.

Yesterday was fun. Coffee Bean, Red Mango, watched Terminator Salvation, went to internet cafe? I have no idea what to call it in English. Had sushi, the conveyor belt sushi. Jane and I paid for half of the meal which came out to about $100. Karaoke was fun too. God I need more days like yesterday.

I have serious ADD. I get all jittery randomly. I was shaking like crazy yesterday. I was grinding my teeth. It was weird. I've been reading the NY Times lately, good stuff. I want to go to a rave.
Ok, have a good week everyone. Don't study too hard guys, its summer. Find every excuse to play while maintaining excellence.

Tired...

This week has been surprisingly tiring. Going to hang out with Jane today. The weekends is what I look forward to. I need to make today last as long as possible, because starting Monday, another week of boring SAT crap. I've been scoring really low on my essays for the writing sections and that's been seriously pissing me off. I have no clue how to improve and my teacher won't tell me how. What a great teacher huh? Fucking bitch. But whatever I need to go play today, relieve some stress. Talk about some junk, the usual stuff. Hopefully I don't spend too much money. Oh and Bank of America you guys are the cheapest, dirtiest, lowest white trash I know, ok. Bye.

Summer School

Yay...for SAT. Its not too bad actually. Its really boring and long. Screw this man I want to play. But I have to do what I have to do. And this is one of those things. But after this I'll be able to play for a few days then I have to start going to this hospital to follow this doctor. 8:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M. Fun stuff. I'm actually looking forward to it. I was told I can actually go in the surgery rooms and stuff. Awesome. Man I want to go to a rave right now. mmm...ok.

Korea!

My goodness it is good to be back home at last. I love coming here because it feels like coming home. It's been pretty relaxing. Talking and hanging out with my cousins. Eating some good food. Shopping. Lotte World yesterday was also a lot of fun. No jet lag. This is awesome. I'm gonna enjoy this to the last minute. :)

Hm...

Looks like I have some free time. So Saturday morning, woke up at 6:00 A.M. drove out to Yucaipa High School to take the last exam of this year. SAT II Subject Tests Biology E/M. I took M cause I thought it would look better than E on my college app. But I heard E was really really really really really really easy from my cousin who took E. It also has a better grading curve than M, but I don't like all that ecology stuff in E. I think I scored at least 770+. I felt pretty good after the test. Then I went home and enjoyed some free time where I really had nothing to study for. I hadn't felt that way for let's see, four years? I loved it and I just played video games all day. Then Class Night! Whooo! It was pretty cool. There were some people that looked freaking amazing in '09. I'm pretty sure you all know who I'm talking about. I think it went by too fast. It felt like I just walked in, walked out. But its ok. It was better than last year. Paulyna and Justin singing was too cute, slideshow was freakin boring. Viva La Vida at the end was hot. Jason Hallock is a beast. I thought they were playing the recording until the screen went up. Wow. I'm sorry Hannah and Vivien that I'm such a disappointment. Ok. Yesterday I woke up at around 12:00 or 1:00 I can't remember. Then I wasted my day again until Youth Symphony concert. yay...then I went home because I couldn't go to PJ's grad thing. Then I slept. Yay. Fun weekend. Probably the most relaxing weekend I've had in a long time.

End of the Year

This year went by so fast. Almost too fast. It was a good, fun, drama-filled, weird, awkward, confusing, stressful, awesome, relaxing, happy, sad, exciting year. This year played a huge role in my life and was probably one of the most influential years of my life so far. So many things happened in such a short time. It's ironic that I'm saying how fast things went by when my blog is entitled "We're Taking This Way Too Slow." But this year indeed was amazingly quick. But I loved it hated it. 09 was cool. I'm gonna miss them. 10 I can't believe that you guys will be seniors next year. I can't look at you guys as seniors. I think 09 were like the perfect seniors. To me 10 will still be sophomores and 11 will always be the annoying freshmen that everyone hated with no class spirit.

The party yesterday was really boring but a few people made it interesting enough for me not to try and walk home. Got closer with a few people I guess, not much but, whatever, every little bit counts. I still need to sign my bro Nick's yearbook. He's the best friend I've ever had. I love him and I'm glad that I got to know him and I've been blessed to have him in my life. He brings joy and laughter to my otherwise gloomy day. It's also been awesome to be able to work with him on so many projects. Hopefully he sticks around next year but, if he really wants to leave for HMA, I'm not gonna stop him.

And wow Hannah...dude you are one awesome friend. You're like my sister. I can talk to you about anything anytime and you'll listen and understand. I love you and I'm glad to have gotten to know you. Your a really good person and my hero. You always try and help me when I'm down and probably know more about me then I do myself. I think I've told you everything that I've ever thought. Thanks for being such a huge support and a really good friend. I hope I was the same to you.

Jane Kwon. Your awesome. Your like my sister too. We get along so well it's not even funny. You understand my feelings and I understand you. Church buddy :). Hanging out with you in Korea is gonna be bomb. You've been a really good friend to me too. I love you and we're gonna have fun this summer man. Let's go Big Bang/Shinee hunting!

And I'll just end it here with two more people. I would write more but then it'd be too long and no one would read it. I'm not sure if anyone would read this far either but whatever. Vivien Rodriguez. Wow what a year man. I'm sorry for being a douche to you. I doubt you're reading this but I'm truly sorry. And I just wish it could be like it was before. We were so close. I just miss your friendship and personality. You mean a lot to me and I was sad to see it end up like this. I love you and your a really great person that's really caring and kind. I looked up to you and your personality. How you tried to stay positive. You kept me going in the earlier part of this year. I promise I'll get you something from Korea. 약속. 사랑해. I just wish it could be like it was before.

Danielle, I'm glad that we're talking again, kinda. Even though your really mean to me hahah. Pro-musica is gonna be bomb next year man. I hope we can get closer next year.

So that's my final word for now. I don't know when I'll be able to blog again so here's an extra long post. Have a good summer everyone, God bless. The beginning of the end and the end of the beginning. We are now JUNIORS! 2011! Peace it

E3 2009: Metal Gear Solid: Rising Revealed
Kojima took Microsoft's stage and gave us the news we wanted to hear.
by Jim Reilly

June 1, 2009 - Kojima took the stage at Microsoft's press conference and dropped a major announcement:

Remember all those teasers we saw over the past month? It wasn't the new PSP game. It was, in fact, a completely new series in the Metal Gear franchise.

Titled Metal Gear Solid: Rising, the game appears to mainly focus on the character Raiden, as there were no shots of Solid Snake at all in the extremely vague announcement teaser shown.

While this news comes at the Microsoft presser, no announcements of exclusivity were revealed, so for now, expect this to be multiplatform, or a timed-exclusive at the very least.

UPDATE: Looks like there might be confirmation that MGS: Rising could well be coming to the PlayStation 3 and PC in addition to Xbox 360. Konami's list of games on Games Press (a private PR service for the press) now shows the title coming to all three platforms. Konami unfortunately will not make official comment at this time, so we will have to wait for all the rumors to be proven true or false until tomorrow afternoon when Sony has its conference (11AM PST).

There was quite a lot of confusion on whether this game would only be on Xbox 360. During the conference, Microsoft specifically stated that everything shown after Final Fantasy XIII would be exclusive to 360, thus the original implication. A few hours later, G4 was able to quickly chat with Microsoft's John Schappert, where he said, "You know, we didn't say that it was exclusive..." (We apologize for the confusion if you've been following the many, many updates on this ongoing saga.) Konami put out a press release listing only an Xbox 360 version, but the word "exclusive" has yet to be mentioned in any MGS: Rising statement from Microsoft or Konami, and the comment at the Microsoft E3 Conference could have been a mistake.

We realize that we're talking more about the controversy behind the unveiling rather than the game itself, but with only a short teaser of the game so far showing the same field and Raiden pose, we're stuck for new things to say. Instead, check out the most recent news leads for Metal Gear Solid Rising & Peace Walker and be sure to check back in tomorrow for more info.

WOW. Why would you do this? Just leave MGS as it is.
Please. Leave the poor bastard ninja kid Raiden alone. He doesn't need his own franchise.
