Red Encabo

As you know it's a couple of days until much of my Winter Break is over. Right now, I can hear Rico play Castle Crashers with Creepster. While Ultimate9011 (or Rico if you did'n't know since the ever first written thing about him) is level 62 or 63, Creepster is level 78. I don't know if he can continue to level up but all I know is that he has complete strength, defense, magic, and agility. If you don't like Castle Crashers well then you didn't try it (I guess) or that you probably suck at the game. Well, this is what happened today.

I woke up realizing Rico was playing Castle Crashers with Creepster. He asks me, "Hey Red, you wanna play?" I said, "What the f*ck I just woke up!", tired. Well, I just played anyway. Eating pizza while playing video games is fun. As you can see, I easily was awake 10 minutes later.

Ace left the game and Rico finally defeats Creepster in some one-on-one battle. I mean, Creepster wins all the time. Rico started dancing with joy.

To make this short, nobody "cared about me." Why and how? Well, when I died in the game, and when Rico is also killed, Who gets healed first? Rico. Or Robert. It's completely naive.

We never gotten to the defeat of that insanely impossible cyclops. Muliple times that we heal each other we never seem to make it. Creepster is doing most of the work. While I continue getting killed, running in circles, Ultimate9011 is desperately trying to heal me, yet laughing. Then Ultimate9011 dies. Then Creepster to the rescue! Man it's a whole new problem we are facing in Castle Crashers INSANE MODE.

This is Red Encabo here once again telling you that today is one of those fun days--a day without any school (any type of school.) The title above really describes what I am going to talk about today--Laser Quest.

I really suck at Laser Tag, but it was a whole lot of fun. Here is a summary on how things went:

We went inside Laser Quest at 12:00, when it opened. We wanted to wait for more people, which only us inside. So, Creepster, Ultimate9011 and I asked Aceofshadows for a couple of quarters, and he said "not to ask me anymore coins." I wanted to play with the video game, but then decided that Air Hockey would be a better decision. Ultimate9011 went against Creepster, and lost, 7-5 Creepster. I went against Creepster in Air Hockey, and won 7-4 me.

What was the score of the five of us (me, Ultimate9011, Creepster, Aceofshadows, and Aizen)? Below you can see how well we all did on the three rounds. I scored below average but in one game I did pretty well. Aceofshadows was low and Ultimate9011 (Rico) is about average. Creepster and Aizen had high scores.

1. Creepster (301) (#1)
   
2. Aizen (266) (#2)
   
3. Ultimate9011 (202) (#3)

2. Red Encabo (557) (#2 Highest Score) (#2)
   
3. Creepster (416) (#4 Highest Score) (#3)
   
4. Ultimate9011 (312) (#5)
   
5. Aceofshadows (202) (#6)

Happy birthday to Aceofshadows! Today is February 17 and it's his birthday, if you can agree with me. There's really nothing I can think about. Just all I know is that I want to talk about this.

Don't forget, what I forgot to say yesterday (due to the unavailability of myself, in which I missed February 15, 2012 to update), is, well, Creepster's Lair's 4th year here at Webs. The is one long milestone. While I do not have the time and energy to sufficiently update here, I would like to announce how "amazingly, ultimately, incredibly, beyond cool, literally awesomely" this is. Creepster's Lair is a free, dying place to settle.

What will we be doing? Well, Rico, my mom and I are thinking of a good and decent present. I remember last time when he told me two things (or one of the two) that he wanted. Ace texted me on the phone whether to give him 2 PSN cards or some random gift card (you know, the same thing Rico gotten.) Mom didn't like the decision, and said that "If you ever want him to get it, you have to pay for it. Whatever I give as a gift people need to be thankful for."

This sunday we will be playing Lazer Tag. Me and my bro are going but not any of my family members. I do remember the time when we played Lazer Tag. I wasn't very talented at that game, in fact, I really sucked (but I did not suck as much.) The only time I ever gotten to 1st place was when I kept "spawn-killing" my brother and my other cousin, Creepster. Man, they kept talking about things but they told me to stop killing them because it was unfair. Everytime I kept getting hit I took a big fit, and in my opinion those were the immaturity of my ways before I started working on my sites.

One of those favorite games Aceofshadows liked was Skyrim. I told him about it, but he already knew. I told him how to "get it for free," and with my guidance he was able to do it himself. (Plus, he was easier to handle, because, mainly, whenever Creepster wants help, he asks me some of those questions that takes about my whole shift.

But again, happy birthday to Aceofshadows! He needs a time of respect for a once-in-a-lifetime moment, if you know what I mean.

After a year of thinking, "Where should we go?", the results are in: Florida is where we are going for this summer of 2012.

Let us go back to the times of our summer:

1. 2002
   Maryland
   Me and my family went to Maryland to meet our cousins.
   
   New York City
   At the same week, we went to New York City. It was real big, and actually pretty hard to park your car somewhere where you don't end up with a ticket.
   
   
2. 2003
   Maryland
   We go to Maryland once again, but we decided to stay at their house just to talk and have fun.
   
   
3. 2007
   Maryland
   This time, what do you think is the place to be going, but only this time, an airport? Maryland. We have been there for 5 whole days. For the first time (or maybe second or third time), we went to Ocean City.
   
   
4. 2008
   Maryland
   This makes me wonder why we go to Maryland--well, probably to meet our cousins, right? As we got to Maryland, we went to McDonalds for breakfast. Refills costs money--unlike where I live. Soon, we go to Ocean City probably the second time. For my cousin's birthday we went to Six Flags. I was "scared" of going on epic rides (until a year later), and that was pretty much it in our lives. We leave Maryland only to eat Quiznos at Pennsylvania and McDonalds at Ohio.
   
   
5. 2009
   Chicago
   This was the shortest trip of my life. We been there for two days from 5:00 PM to 12:00 PM the next day. It was super short, and super boring. However, I liked the skyscrapers, and we did see Wrigley Field as we drove by.
   
   Ontario (Canada)
   We went to some friends' hotels. For three days, we stayed there. Before we got there, though, we saw Rogers Centre, and a day later we went to the Niagra Falls, and finally left.
   
   Up North (MI)
   It took us four hours to drive from our house to the north. We stayed at a red cabin, and there I almost killed myself (not literally). We went to a graduation party and also canoed for 2 hours. I ended up with a lot of bug bites, but it was really fun there.
   
   
6. 2010
   Ohio
   Whenever you go to Ohio for fun--you probably should know where we are going: Cedarpoint and Kalahari. However, we didn't have any time--nor money--to go to Cedarpoint, so we just went to Kalahari and a Safari Park to feed animals and see a pig race.
   
   
7. 2011
   This was by far one of the best trips we ever been to. Here is why:
   
   Las Vegas
   I do not have time to discuss this, but we ate at Jollibee and Carl's Jr. for the first time. There are many Filipinos that I met (because I am one too) and it's pretty much fun. That's all I can say.
   
   California
   To make all of this short, we went to SeaWorld San Diego and Universal Studios Hollywood. I didn't think it worth it not because it wasn't fun. It was fun but we didn't have enough time.
   
   Arizona
   We went there to see the Grand Canyon. We wanted to take a ride on a helicopter, but it costed us $70 for each person, for two hours. Two hours!?! Man, what a rip.
   

Where will we be driving?
Cincinnati, OH
Knoxville, TN (Where my brother is born)
Atlanta, GA (Went to their airport last year)

Where will we be going?
Mall at Millenia (30 Minutes)
DisneyWorld (Stay)

*This will be updated, so visit this post daily.

For the first blog entry to be in the Outside News category, well, this is about the Super Bowl XLVI. Now I am not very good at football and don't know anything about football, I just watch it--to cheer on my team and for fun. So here are some things to discuss about the Super Bowl yesterday.

I watched pretty much everything--except the commercials. I know the commercials or ads have to be big or something but I hate advertisement on TV. Websites... fine, but TV? Cable was regularly supposed to be ad-free. Weird.

I went to my cousin's house by walking. Ginger, a Jack Russell/Pit Bull mix walked with us. It was pretty long, being probably 53 minutes. The moment we got there Aceofshadows and Creepster left to do some "stuff," so it's basically us in the house. We watched the first quarter, seeing New York with 9 points, the Patriots with none.

At 7:00 we were picked up and went home knowing Kuya Alex was going to visit and eat with us, with Ate Nida at the Philippines for a week long. We continued watching the Super Bowl. Patriots came back later, with a 1-point lead, 9-10 New England.

Who did I thought was going to win and who did I root for? Again, I don't care who wins. It's should be a fun game to watch fan or not. However, I did think the Pats would win, but then again, I don't think they should. Rico completely supported the Giants, and wanted them to win. So did mom. Dad was at my side, as he didn't care who won and that he thought New England was going to win.

But because I had so much work to do on that Sunday, I kind of missed the Super Bowl. I didn't complain or whine or cry about it. What did I do instead?

I went to NBC Sport's website and watched it live there.

Okay, I only heard it while working, and mom said that New York was then 2-points behind the Patriots. I pretty much ignored her. If New York wants to win, they better make a touchdown, and they did.

And blah, blah, blah, we all knew New York won it 21-17. You know what was unbelievable to me is that New York came all this way to win. New England I would have to feel sad for. Lost against the Giants in Super Bowl XLII, becoming 18-1, now they lost this one. I decided looking for some comments at NFL.com and when it appeared, people were happy the Patriots lost, not happy that the Giants won. Even some guy said that. But anyways I give congrats to the New York Giants, they deserved it.

Well, I accidentally deleted all of my progress for my Extra Update post #4, but nevermind, instead I will just talk about each one of them one at a time. One of the biggest priorities that I need to do is to edit, organize, publish, and upload videos.

The Isang Binhi Chorale Group asked me if I could upload the video for YouTube for everyone to see. Drinking a can of coke, I have things to do before I do their deeds.

1. Organize
   In which we have to organize and rename videos are very important. I do want to know what all of the videos are about, so I renamed them. Before the changing in names the videos were named 0001, 0002, and etc. In addition, I need to place them in folders. I disliked having them being clumped. I am a neat freak, but my room isn't all that pretty.
2. Edit
   I do not want to purposely change everything, but what I would like to do is to add color correction and sound changes. I do want to set my videos into a DVD, especially for those videos that have Stereo or Surround HD, it would sound even better. Secondly, I need color correcting because the videos are "kinda bland," and it doesn't look very realistic. One thing's for sure though: no images will be added. I added images once to make sure all videos belong to me, but the image was distracting and was blocking the view. I have to make sure not to do that again.
3. Render
   Also known as publish, I need to render to videos for the web's needs. Without rendering, the video's edits and changes will not apply.
4. Upload
   Now I can upload the videos to YouTube and my website. Not only that but I will be uploading the videos to Shadow Infinite, Creepster's Lair, and Megaworldz Unlimited. The only problem is: the videos in Webs.com will not be in HD. I don't know why, but all I know is that they better fix it or else.
   

When we calculate how many views are there for each video, well, it's not what it seems to be. I admiitingly transferred them to another channel, and that is, my brother's channel, Challenger90188. Before the videos were replaced the views for each video were around 500, and in Rico's channel, there was only approximately 30. Lame. Add those together and what do you get? An estimate of 530. Maybe that's not a lot of views to YouTube but I really hope we can attain more views or more publicity.

By the way, we will also be uploading TF2 videos, with my brother playing. Problem is, I have to do many things today, but I will tell my brother about this and that's for sure. Plus, I'm bringing back the Isang Binhi site, making sure all of their performances can be watched at their official website.

Isang Binhi's very first 2012 performance just begin, and this is my reflection in their singing at the Sterling Heights Cultural Center today. While there is some reception, there will be criticism as well, but this is only to improve the choir that I'm with.

RECEPTION/PROS
There are many improved parts of their songs that make their performance on these songs much better than last year. In my opinion nothing really changed, except their second song, This is the Moment. I mean this is definitely not their song, they're just singing it. I believed they messed up last year in August at the "dramatic" part of the song. This time, they did well, just not perfect, yet more perfect.

CRITICISM/CONS
I would have to say there's not many cons, but the reason why I would say there is one is because one of those problems might be the overpowering of the lead voice. The lead voice must stand out, but I think he stood out too much. That means I couldn't hear the other singers so that's one. Secondly, their formation isn't very good as I can't see the ladies' faces.

But overall, what do I have to say about the performance? It has been well done, with loud applause and more cheers. Before we actually started the singing, two girls from Iraq described how hard it is moving from their homeland to the US, especially in the time when bombings occured. It's kind of sad, we all know, and I don't know what to say about it.

Isang Binhi will now have their site revamped this year with a new video: about this one. It's one thing to know because if you are following isang binhi all day long, you might want to check out the upcoming domain:

REVAMPED WEBSITE & NEW VIDEO
