Bleach Episode 142: Order! Forbid Rescue of Orihime Inoue

Order! Forbid Rescue of Orihime InoueBleach Episode 142 entitled: “Order! Forbid Rescue of Orihime Inoue” has been subbed and released by Dattebayo. The episode kicks off with the beaten Kurosaki Ichigo waking up on his bed — now fully healed. As Ichigo wondered who could possibly healed him, it was no doubt thats its Orihime Inoue as Ichigo can still feel her reiatsu. Inoue on the other, is now with the Arrancar on Hueco Mundo. As much as Renji [and Ichigo of course] wished to save Inoue, the Soul Society prohibits them to do so because they are still preparing for the upcoming battle and they just can’t afford losing the best Shinigami. Captain Yamamoto declared Inoue as a traitor. He also anticipated the scenerio that some of them would insist going to Hueco Mundo and save Inoue so he made a special arrangement by sending Captain Kenpachi and Byakuya, therefore, forcing them to come back to the Soul Society. Ichigo on the other hand, doesn’t gives up vowing to save Inoue on his own without any help from Soul Society. The depressed Ichigo then came to Urahara to have some information on how to go to Hueco Mundo as Captain Yamamoto denied the information on their conversation earlier. Urahara then blurted out that he’s thinking that Aizen was actually after Inoue’s abilities, therefore he take her out on the training to protect her but it was too late, and that taking her out on the battle was a big misktake. Urahara seemed prepared for everything to the point that he’s ready going up against Soul Society’s protocol. Much to Ichigo’s surprise, Ishida and Chad appears before him vowing to go and save Inoue. Now, they are off to Hueco Mundo and save their friend, Inoue. Well, the episode is up now and ready for download here. Downlink 2 here.

Ne-Yo: Because of You

Because of YouFinally, I was able to have a copy of Ne-Yo’s sophomore album entitled: “Because of You“. I remember when we are celebrating Ria’s birthday few weeks ago, and the conversation suddenly segue to Ne-Yo’s single “Because of You” – which some of us mistaken it as Kelly Clarkson’s song. Well, it so happened that the Idol fab did a cover for the said title but Ne-Yo’s cover is totally much differ with Kelly’s. Okay, honestly speaking, never heard of Ne-Yo just recently when I heard the cover he did for Rihanna’s “Hate That I Love You”. I am playing Ne-Yo’s album over the weekend and I don’t know, I feel like there’s something wrong with it. With the choice of song I guess. Not that I am saying that his collaboration with Jay-Z and Jennifer Hudson were a no brainer, I just thought that his album could have been done better with the choices and arrangements of song. Maybe, I am just not really a big fan of Ne-Yo, I guess the album itself was overrated to the point that the real quality and the supposed talent were shrouded by the popularity of Rihanna due to his collaboration with the said artist. The album itself were just a plain album just like some one-hit wonder artists. Album on the other hand, up now for download here. Password is “http://hethler.blogspot.com“.

F*cking Volume + No Naruto Shippuuden This Week

Last Monday, I am fixing the old laptop for Ria. She’s going to used it for the preview of “Paano Kita Iibigin” DVD for the edit points as required by our clients. The sound card gone crazy as the video plays without audio. Ria then took her videocam and recorded all the “shit” am saying. Honestly, all of it was just a joke, but then they say that “jokes are half-meant” — or whatever! Cough… Highlights of the video are the (1) f*cking volume; (2) singing “Paano Kita Iibigin segue to “Mapasasalamatan” (3) damn it; (4) “luftuf”; (5) mother f*cker; and (6) the award-winning “CoC – Code of Conduct” which I later define as “Certificate of Candidacy”. Well just watch the video for yourself.

Well, no Naruto Shippuuden this week, but don’t you guys worry because next week will be a double episode which [I guess] concludes the battle between Team Gai Vs their clones; and Akatsuki’s Deidara Vs the team-up of Naruto and Kakashi. This Naruto Shippuuden special [Episodes 029-030] concludes the “Rescue Gaara Arc” [yes, Gaara will be revived, thanks to Chiyo-baasama and with a little help of Naruto's chakra] and introduction to Sai – joining Team Kakashi to replace Sasuke, will immediately follow after the said arc. I still have no idea when they are going to show “Kakashi Gaiden” – a special arc dedicated to Hatake Kakashi, telling us how he got his “Sharingan Eye“. Well, anything could happen, the production team could just insert it somewhere after an arc. So head back next week for this hour-long special of Naruto Shippuuden. Bleach anime, on the other hand is back with the storyline so its also something to look forward too. Inoue is now with Arrancar so its kinda odd. Enjoy your weekend-ttebayo!

EDIT: Kurt emailed me about the music playing on the background. It’s no less than the master “wordplay” himself – Jason Mraz, with the song “0% Interest” from the album “A Jason Mraz Demonstation“.

At the end of the episode, it was the beaten Kurosaki Ichigo whom she bid goodbye to. Rukia on the other hand, has no idea that Orihime was actually abduted by Ulquiorra. Episode up now for download here. EDIT: New download link.

Rick Ross: "Rise To Power"

Rick Ross‘ latest album entitled: “Rise To Power” was finally released yesterday. The album features 13 original tracks plus 3 bonus tracks which also features collaboration with some of not-so-popular artists like Noah, Scarface, Reed Dollars, Gillie and Devin. Upon listening to it, I was kinda like it more than T-Pain and T.I.’s album, I guess Rick has his very own Rick-ky style to do rap songs and it works for him. The fact that it was a rap song with explicit lyrics, it doesn’t sound very distracting nor too harsh, his rendition didn’t overdo it [like many other artists that's popping out right now] to the point that they look “trying-hard”. Full album up now for download here. Password for the file is “http://hethler.blogspot.com“. I will try to upload 50 Cent and Kanye West album over the weekend. I am having trouble with my internet connection right now – and yes I’m using a Dial-Up connection so jsut imagine the speed, well it took a lot of patience for me dawg.

Bleach The Movie: Memories of Nobody

Memories of NobodyThe first ever Bleach Movie entitled: “Memories of Nobody” has finally arrived. Nine long months after it premiered in Japan, the subbed version has been released by Dattebayo and is up now for download. You have to download the files and it’s a must that you saved all these 3 files in one folder for you to be able to extract/unrar the file. I have already watched the movie over the weekend, it was fine though I still have to watch it one more time because I am still lost with the story of Senna, her Shinigami roots and everything. The animaton was fine, very detailed and I’m just loving the maple leaf effect that goes for Senna. You can download the movie here: [Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3]. It will take a bit to complete the download, the file was kinda large, the reason why I split the files into 3 but I am assuring you guys thats it is worth watching. Bleach Movie 2 entitled: “The DiamondDust Rebellion” will hit Japanese theatres this coming December 12.

Pets and New Breeds of Pets?!

Pets and New Breeds of Pets?!A couple of weeks ago, our friend Tere send us an email about her cat pet named Jack (my first fighting fish which unfortunately, died months ago also named Jack). Its very natural for us share each other stuffs, daily bread and the likes thru email. She shared the photo of 8-month old Jack. Surprisingly, the replies wasn’t expected, everyone acknowledged the photo it was like we are on a forum that the exchange of messages really went far. Ariel even joked how Jack aged, “Jack is just 8-month old and yet he has one [human] arm, what more when he turned 1, 2, or 3 years old and so on?”. Ariel was actually referring to Tere’s right arm which was caught by the camera lens upon taking Jack’s picture. By the way, everyone was just few meters away to each other, Tere was just 2 steps away from Ariel, a conversation thru email because our network admin finally figured-out the beta version of Yahoo which features a web-based chat. It was a riot conversation, the topic leads to “Precious-Gollum-LOTR”. Eventually, everyone shows up their respective pets, AJ’s photos of her dogs. I do have my 2nd fighting fish named Jerk, Tricia has Paris, Ria’s Spitter and some myna. Days later, Ria shows me her new mug with a “boobs” carved on it and so I come up with a naughty idea. I have my very own “penis” angel – a gift to me last Christmas by my friend Jordie. I asked Ria to bring her mug and we headed to Tricia – who will be having a meeting in few minutes. Since they’re not yet starting, I asked her to take a photo for us with our other “precious-pets”, and the rest is history. Bye for now, its Monday again… work… work… and work.

Very Pinoy!

Very Pinoy!!!Last Thursday September 13 it was Cecile’s 27th Birthday – a colleague and a friend from ABS-CBN Global. We had our lunch at Jade Valleys – somewhere in Timog just few blocks away from our office. It was a great lunch, what can I say, I was like bloated for the time being that I am on my chair – tofu is the best for me that lunch. Though its a bit distracting because there are men working outside the premises – they are under renovation. After we indulged ourselves for that great lunch, we head back to our office — or maybe not. We can’t get a cab on our way, and so my colleague Ody waved on the approaching vehicle – a jeepney. At first, we taught it was just a prank but she’s serious and the driver agreed to take us on the office. Well, its unusual for anyone to have jeepney going to the office, usually mode of transportation are cab, tricycle, van, but a jeepney is a big no. And so we are all laughing out loud, we’re famous to have a jeepney in the office premises. Cecile, the birthday girl, revealed that it’s one of her most unforgettable birthdays. It was a very good experience, we are all laughing, yelling and everything was just very candid. Sure we do have deadlines, meetings, and other workloads but it feels better even for a couple of hours to enjoy life outside without work.

Naruto Shippuuden Episode 028: The Revived Beast

Rejoice fellow Naruto fans. Naruto Shippuden is back with Episode 028 entitled: “The Revived Beast“. On the previous episode, teamwork of Chiyo and Sakura went well as they finally defeated Sasori. Before Sasori die, he hinted Sakura on his forthcoming meeting with Orochimaru’s underling – Kabuto. As the battle between the Sasori Vs Chiyo and Sakura, the episode moves forward on Naruto and Kakashi, as they chase Deidara who still keeps the dead body of Gaara and use as a bait against Naruto. Much of the episode covers the fight between Team Gai and themselves. Lee, finally find a way to defeat their respective clones. Overall, though the episode is a fresh one, it doesn’t stands out that much. Anyway, there’ll be no Shippuuden next week, but worry no more because it’ll be a double-episode on September 27 and which I believe, concludes the Rescue Gaara arc. Episode up now for download as subbed and release by NB. Well, just bear with the subbed for this released because the font used was a bit distracting. Enjoy your weekend everyone-ttebayo!!!

Sean Kingston, Just Another Rip-Off

Sean Kingston, Just Another Rip-OffLike plenty of modern day artists, Sean Kingston is another rip-off who steals punch lines from classic rock tunes and markets his songs to the young generation who think he is actually talented. Today fans of these types of artists, actually cheer them for doing a good concert in the lip-sych form, which is a sad state of affairs for today’s music industry. Anyone can get a recording contract today, and this guy is a living proof. But in fairness with Kingston, his carrier single “Beautiful Girls” is no doubt — a surefire hit. There are actually only 2 catchy songs on the album, one of which is the one I mentioned earlier, and the other is his duet with Paula Deanda entitled: “There’s Nothin” though at glance, the beat sounds like Beautiful Girls. As mentioned earlier, the current single is very much embraced by fans but then again, rating the full album, I’ll give it 2 out of 5. Album up now for download here. Password for the file is http://hethler.blogspot.com. Head back tomorrow as Naruto Shippuuden returns with fresh episodes.

Pollution is everywhere, so literally speaking, there’s no fresh air to breathe. Talking about “ber” months, pine trees and everything, what else are we all waiting for but the Yuletide Season.

Banco de Oro – Equitable PCI Merger, and then theres BPI

Latest on the Philippines’ bank industry is the recently merger of Banco de Oro and Equitable PCI Bank. The said merger sounds promising, based on the TV commercial thats been airing for few months now. The said spot highlights the banks’ respective services, the ideas, the people behind them, their dedication and so much more. I thought the merger would be a good idea, meaning “improved system”, customer friendly, but for a month now, its been very inconvenient. Weeks ago, my colleague Ria tried to withdraw from BPI (ABS-CBN Branch), she opted to withdraw from Equitable (ABS-CBN Branch – now BDO) because of the long qeue.
The transaction was suddenly cancelled, returning a 1081 code error. We have no choice but to deal with the long qeue on BDO. She just can’t stand, so she left the qeue. Later that night, (it was her Birthday the following day so she badly need the money) she ensured her ATM card to Hoho to withdraw on her behalf. She then phoned Ria and said there was like just 300 pesos on her Savings account, Ria, stupified with the news then phoned me and told everything that has happened. What happened was she tried withdrawing from BPI, the system returns an error but the amount she was trying to withdraw was actually debited on her account. The following day, she filed a complaint with BPI and they said, the system was actually offilne that time upon withdrawing so its really possible that the amount was debited on her account. It took about a week before Ria had her money back, and now she’s afraid using other bank becaused of the messed. The thing is I was actually trying to withdraw on that very same day thru BPI and same thing goes for me – it returns a 1081 code error. I don’t know if the amount I was trying to withdraw that time was actually debited on my account or so. I just don’t want to drag myself with one-hell-problem so I just leaved it as is.

Inevitable time…
Last Friday, August 30, I have a PhP 11,326.24 on my BDO account, withdrawal of 5,000 was made that day, and that leaves 6,326.24 my balance. Yesterday, September 05 around 04:09PM, again because of the long qeue, I opted to have my transaction on BDO, some even says that the system keeps on hanging-up upon transaction, and since BPI is just meters away from BDO machine, I had my transaction there. Here we go again, the system returns a 1081 error saying the transaction was cancelled, I’m trying to withdraw 2,000 that afternoon. Alarmed because of what happened on my friend Ria, I immediately asked the teller and there she said there was an error “again” on their system. The very same day I filed a complaint. I also went to BDO to have my account checked on their online system. The guy did confirmed that 2,000 pesos was debited on my account, so that leaves 4,326.24 as my remaining balance. Okay, I am stil breathing since I have 4,326.24 on my ATM card. Later that night, my friend Tere invited me to have dinner with her, and so we both decided to dispense some money from ATM. Tere’s transaction went well. I actually don’t have problem upon withdrawing, by the way, I withdrew 2,000 that night so that leaves 2,326.24 as my balance. Suddenly, I noticed the transaction receipt stating that my current balance is a whopping 326.24, what the fuck?! Today, I head straight to the bank and there they said that the system reflects I made 2 transaction that night. I’ve already filed a complaint regarding on the issue, as well as called-up their Customer Hotline to document everything.

Moving forward…
Re: BPI
1. That 1081 error has been happening to me for what three years now and I have no idea that there’s a possiility that the amount I’m trying trying to withdraw are actually being debited on my account even the transaction is cancelled.
2. I have no idea that this “transaction-debit-error” thing actually happens, but how about those naïve ATM users, say those in rural places.

Re: Equitable PCI and BDO Merging
1. I have nothing against the damn merger, but they could’ve been settle the bugs first on their system, make the information easy to access yet secured, customer-friendly. At the end of the day, if their system keeps working that way (including BPI) on exact opposite their customers were expecting, well I guess they have to polished the bugs and identify what went wrong with their system. With the said merger, they should have been foresee the implication minus giving their customer a headache. We don’t deserve that.

2. Instead of rushing everything from upgrades of furnitures of the bank with the said merger; the paints; corporate logo on the glass doors, why not prioritize the system, at the end of the day its the service that counts.

Finally, I’ve seen this article from a fellow blogger, if the story is true its very alarming. Wake up people.
