Zombie Outbreak. Will you survive?

I do not own this image. This image belongs to their respective owner.
Admit it, Almost everyone of us imagined a Zombie outbreak. Thou you can visualize it as a cool, exciting hack and slash, point and shoot fest. The question is, will you survive this best end of the world scenario? How long will you last?

Here's a few tips for you to survive:
Image from Wikipedia.org

  1. Find a secure place where you can store enough supplies and can defend you against zombies and  looters who will try to steal your supplies and worst, can also kill you. This is inevitable. Not only zombies lose their humanity for some instances, other people.
  2. Avoid using ballistic weapons as much as you can. Gunshot sounds can attract other zombies on your location. Use it when badly needed. Plus, it's a must to save ammo cos it's limited. Instead, try using melee weapons such as baseball bats, crowbars and etc. and always remember, go for the head.
  3. Wear light weight clothing as much as possible but keep in mind the you need enough protection from bites and scratches the zombies can inflict you. 
  4. If you need to go to in one place to another, use a vehicle that emits less noise as much as possible. If not, atleast ride one with enough protection and can't be easily destroyed or flipped over. 
  5. Keep hydrated and eat. and always bear in mind the famous rule from Zombie Land, "Cardio" because there's gonna be a lot of running and jumping when an outbreak starts. 
I have read a zombie survival guide entitled The Zombie Survival Guide written by an American author Max Brooks. It was fully detailed with in-depth guide and how to's that I actually thought for a second that an outbreak was going to happen. If you're an avid zombie fan. This book is a must read :)

TOOTHACHE.

In my entire life, It's the first time I had this terrible feeling inside my mouth and yes, I have a toothache!  
I have been going through this pain for about 2 weeks now. Wondering why I'm still not visiting the dentist? It's because I'm really scared to go to a doctor. Because when I was a child, I often go to the doctor because I have a weak body and it somewhat traumatize me a little. Anyway, I know that sooner or later, I will go to the dentist cos in a more few days the pain will be unbearable. For now I took Mefenamic Acid for a temporary relief. But for those of you who are suffering from a terrible toothache too and does not want to take any medication for relief, here are some alternatives to soothe your pain: 


  1. Salt Water: Mix a heaping spoonful of salt in a small glass of lukewarm to warm water, swoosh around inside your mouth for as long as you can, spit out. Repeat a couple times.
  2. Cloves: This is an old timer’s remedy, rest a clove against the sore area until pain goes away. You can also use a drop or two of clove oil (too much can be toxic) or make a thick paste of ground cloves and water or ground cloves and olive oil.
  3. Alcohol: Swoosh a bit of whiskey, scotch, brandy or vodka. A strong mouthwash that contains alcohol will do the trick too.
  4. Hydrogen Peroxide: Swoosh a bit of hydrogen peroxide. If the taste is too horrid for you, try diluting with a bit of water.
  5. Vanilla Extract: Saturate a cotton ball with vanilla and hold in place. Can also use a cotton swab dipped in extract. from tipnut.com

I stumbled upon this you Youtube channel called "Simple Pickup" these guys are the masters of picking up girls. I tried to watch their videos and it was fucking hilarious and so amazing at the same time! Their pick up lines cracked me up.

Trust me, they're masters in what they do.

Mobile Suits? Yes, Kuratas :)



Kuratas, a 13-foot 4.4 ton mech from Suidobashi Heavy Industries. OMG who wouldn't  want one?

Gangnam Style = Guiness Records holder?


The viral video/song "Gangnam Style" of the South Korean singer/songwriter/rapper PSY holds the Guiness record for the most liked video on Youtube. Amazing isn't it? The power of communication thru internet to spread contents all over the world. Until now, I don't know what Oppa Ganganm Style means. haha.

Technological argument? :|


I don't know why people argue over their preference of technology. Leave the feud to the technological-gargantuan money-eating companies.

I can't stand people fighting and debating whether it's Samsung or Apple. Arguing with such things. Shit is childish. Stop it.

Everyone has their own taste in everything. Mobile phones or food or anything it's up to you.

Sorry for my pointless rant haha.

iPhone 5?

So, the money making, Galaxy smashing iPhone 5 was finally released huh? Okay what's new with iPhone 5?

As far as I know it has.

  • A6 Chip
  • 8MP Camera
  • iOS 6
  • Comes in Black, White and Silver
  • HD photo and video recording 1080p/720p
  • Longer screen
  • A bit thinner that the previous iPhone models
  • New USB connector
  • It has longer lasting battery than the previous models
In my opinion, the iPhone 5 is just like a 4S with very little improvement and changes but I'm pretty sure that Apple A6 chip packs a punch and much more powerful than the iPad oh, and the camera, we're talking about a whopping 1080p HD!

I'm not expressing hate on this device, it's just that it's not very appealing to me.

I think this is one of the simplest yet the sweetest marriage proposal that I've ever seen :)

BRIGHTSIDE OF A THIRD-WORLD

This afternoon I took a nap and I woke up at 4 in the afternoon. I felt hungry so I went outside the house and went to our canteen to have my usual "Merienda" (snack) routine. It was also the dismissal of classes of a nearby public school. As I sat on the front bench of our canteen, I saw a man, maybe a father, fetching his children... On a single motorcycle...his 4 children. Imagine riding a small cheap-quality motorcycle with 5 passengers it's like a capacity of an average car. They look tired and struggling riding one by one on a single moto. But despite these hardships and hassles they tackle everyday, you can see their smiling faces and a mark of optimism written all over their smiles :)

That's what I like being a Filipino. Whatever we face, may it be a natural disaster or poverty. We never forget the optimism and the smiles while always looking at the brightside of life :)

AUDIOPHILE? STYLISH? CHECK THIS OUT!

Okay, so almost everyday for most of the time, I wear earphones/headphones and there can't be a day where you can't find people wearing one. They're almost everywhere, audiophiles.

So speaking of  audiophiles, whatever your preference in music, it all comes to this: sound quality. Yeah sound quality, you can download or purchase, convert songs in any bit rate (kbps) you want but what I'm talking about is the hardware capacity of your earphones :)

What to look on an earphones you say?

  •  It has to have a good sound quality ofcourse.
  •  Stylish, These days earphones are not just an object for listening. It's a fashion statement.
  •  Price. Everyone wants to have a quality sound but as affordable as it can be.  

I think the right headphones/earphones that fits the above requirements is the Plattan from Urbanears.


Why do I think it's the right one with all of the said requirements?

Good sound quality - It has very good sound quality a perfect balance of crisp detailed sound of treble and bass.

Style - In terms of looks, It's design is a mix of minimalism and vintage-like style. Simple as that.

Price - With the quality of this headphones it's price is suprisingly lower that it's competitors. A low price for a high quality headphones.






I have one of these and in my opinion, it's one of the best headphones out there :)

Here's a video preview of  Urbanears Plattan.

For the full specifications of Plattan, visit their site for more details and also check out other Urbanears earphones/headphones. They have a wide range of products to choose from :)

PROLOGUE

Today is the birth of my newly-created Blogger site :) Yey! This post serves as an "Icebreaker" between me and my blog (just to fill-in the emptiness of my blog).

Let me introduce myself first. My name is Gelo Cabrera.. Ugh.. Okay! Enough of this introduction! I suck at this haha.

I currently have no idea what to post on my blog. It may take some time for me to make my site a well established one because even I have so much ideas running through my head and itching to share and post. Usually, procrastinating gets a good grip around my neck.

I'll try my very best to update this blog and share things that caught my interests. I will post random stuffs that I want and try to share with the world. (even thou no one cares)

This is the end of my uuhmm.. introduction speech or prologue or whatever you can call this kind of blabbering.

Enjoy your stay and peace out :)
