Let Me Write A Poem About You, Again

  Hello.........its me. Welcome to my weekly blog post (yay). Now, today's gonna be a short one. What? Why? Because...... there's only one story. And also because i don't have much time. Yeah, my schedule this week is crazy. And i hope next week is gonna be different. So yeah, hope that explains the situation and hopefully, you guys understands as well. Oh yeah almost forgot, today we're gonna do the acrostic poem again. Wait, we've done that before, right? Yeah, that's why i said the word AGAIN, you dumbo. Anyway, lets begin....

 So, today's story is The Labors of Hercules (you can watch it here)

(Source : here)

 Um, is that image from RoR? Yes, i know, shush!. Anyway, lets talk about the story, shall we? So the story is about Hercules, or Heracles (or whatever you wanna call him) who seeks forgiveness from The Gods. And so, there's 12 labors that he must do, so that The Gods will forgive him. And guess what? He finished it. Perfect score (how SHOCKING). And because he is the main character in this story, i picked him to be my acrostic poem's theme.....or subject, or object, or whatever. Anyway, lets look at the poem, shall we?

Honest.  Empathetic.  Reliable.  Clever.  Upstanding.  Legitimate. Easy-going.  Selfless.

 Wow, that was positive. Any meanings behind it? No. This poem is just me describing his characteristics. How humble he is, and how he's able to complete all the missions. And that's why a lot of people love him. And also, that's why some people (maybe gods) got jealous, and then hate him. Such a nice character. Yeah, i agree. Too bad Jack The Ripper killed him. RoR? Heck yeah. Well, nobody is gonna understand that reference, but i rate that.

 Anyway, thats it for today. I already told y'all that this is gonna be a short one. If you're still reading up to this point, thank you so much. Now if you excuse me, i'm gonna go and re-new my Netflix subscription....Just kidding, i wouldn't pay that much for a movie streaming service. Thank you for reading my awful blog post. And last but not least, dont forget to drink water. Bye~~

The Perfect Song

 Hi again, its me. Welcome to my blog post.....again. Okay, before we start. Ladies and Gents, please welcome....Alex 2. The man, the myth, but definitely not the legend. How are you doing, my man? Hello, hello. Um, i'm doing good, thank you for asking. Okay, thank you for coming back. Just a reminder, another absent, and you're out. Understand? Wait wha- Anyway, today we're talking about songs. Wow, this is unexpected. Why? Because...that's my assignment, you dum-dum. So basically, i'm gonna pick 2 stories, and then i'll choose a song that best represents the story (1 song for each story). Now this is where thing get difficult. I love music. 100%. But, i'm kinda lazy when it comes to reading/listening to stories. So yeah.....Don't ever expect me to talk about Shakespeare, Harry Potter, or even The Great Gatsby. Wait, you don't know anything about Harry Potter. Yes, i know nothing about Harry Potter. In fact, I don't think i ever watch the films. Wow, uncultured son-of-a- Shush! Anyway, let's begin....

 So the first one is The Book of Life (you can watch it here).

(Source : here)

 It was made by Jorge R. Gutierez and Guillermo Del Toro, back in 2014. So this is a story about 3 best friend, Manolo, Maria, and Joaquin. Or more specific, this is a story about Manolo and Joaquin competing against each other to win Maria's love (I mean....it's kinda messed up for a child story). But yeah, thats about it. I don't want to spoil all the story. You watch it yourself. So, the song that i picked for this movie is......Let Us Cling Together (Teo Torriatte) by Queen (Spotify: here)

"Let us cling together as the years go by

  Oh my love, my love

  In the quiet of the night

  Let our candle always burn

  Let us never lose the lessons we have learned"

 Yes, i bring out my Queen card. Um, this song is kinda unique...especially the lyrics. Can you tell us why you chose this song? Thanks for asking, my man. So, some people saw this song as a romantic song. But there's also a lot of people that saw this as a friendship song. And that's why this song is perfect. What do you mean? Because, thats what the movie all about. The movie is telling us their love stories, but also their friendship. Yes, they're competing for love. But in the end of the day, they're still friends. Ah, i see. Clever!. Thank you so much. Oh yeah, fun fact for you guys. I originally wanted to put Heart and Soul by Floyd Cramer. But after a second thought, i think Teo Torriatte is better (Love you Mr. Floyd, but this is not your time yet).

 Okay, the second one is Fake Little Love (you can read it here)

 

(Source : here)

 It was made by an author named LOL (i'm not joking), and it has 711 words...pretty short. Fun fact, i found this story yesterday. What? Yeah, because i can't find anything interesting to talk about. So, do you think this story is interesting? For me, it was decent, a 7.4/10. So, as you can see in the title. This story is about a young girl that experienced this thing called "Fake Love". And yeah, i don't want to ruin the fun. Read it yourself. Aw come on. At least give us a little spoiler or something. Nope, can't do. But i can tell you, the ending is unexpected. Anyway, the song for this story is....Lose by KSI and Lil Wayne (Spotify: here)

"You got me fallin' thinkin' of you

  But that's the one thing i shouldn't do

  I, I, know the truth

  I, I, know that you're just one more thing to lose"

 Wow, i don't know you're into rap song? Well, its not like that. I just think that this song is the most fitting for sthe story. The fact that she fall right into his hand( in negative way), and then in the end, she...No, i can't spoil a good story! Really? Come on! One thing that i can say about this story is: Don't be a naive person. The world is not your personal playground where everyone making a circle and singing Kumbaya all the time. Sometime, things just don't go smooth as you wish. And maybe, you'll regret your decision. But whatever the case, Stay Strong. Wow, strong words...strong words.

 And thats it for today. If you're still watching up to this point, thank you so much. Now if you excuse me, i will go staright to bed, because i'm really tired. Thank you for reading. And big thank you to Alex 2 for coming back. And last but not least, don't forget to drink water. Bye~~

Bookmarks With Quotations

 Hi, its me again. Welcome to my.....6th post? Maybe? I don’t know, who cares. Anyway, today we’re going to talk about “quotations”. But before we begin, i have an announcement to make. So for today’s post, Alex 2 is not gonna be here. I know, i know, you guys love him more than me, he’s more rational. But i promise you he’ll be back next week. He’s got something to do today, so let’s just give him a rest for a bit. Okay, back to the topic. So a few days ago, my lecturer give me an assignment. But, it is quite unique. It says “Choose 2 quotations that you like from the texts you read or listen to. And then, create a bookmark for each quotations”. Pretty unique isn’t it? Now, one fun fact about me: I suck at designing. But just for today, i give it a try. So, i opened PhotoShop, and then i started designing, with my limited imaginations. And the result was.....not bad? Like i don’t think it’s terrible. I feel like its alright. But anyway, enough for the chit-chat, lets go...

 So the first one is Lionel Messi – The GOAT Official Movie (you can watch it here). I discovered this video 1 years ago. It was made by the channel called Magical Messi, and it had more than 25 million views. So the video is talking about the journey of Lionel Messi, since the beginning. From 2004, when he first played for the main team of FC Barcelona, until 2019 when he’s become the legendary player of that club. There’s a lot of quote on that video. But this is what i picked

 Um, quite unique isn’t it? Obviously, Leo Messi isn’t the one who said it, lol. It was the narrator. And, for me it was such a nice quote. I don’t know about you guys, but i can feel that quote. Yes, i know, you guys need context about the event behind that quote. So, let me explain, okay? So in the video, people’s always doubting on Leo Messi. They’re saying he’s done, and he’s not the best player anymore. And then, come the FIFA World Cup 2018 Qualifications Match : Argentina vs Ecuador. This is the chance for Messi to prove himself in front of all his fans, and his haters. But in the very first minute of the match, Ecuador scored. And it looks like its already over. But then in the video, this quote showed up “The greatest players produce their greatest performance when they’re needed” followed by Messi scoring a hat-trick. Messi, once again, saving the Argentina national team, with a 3-1 wins. So what’s the lessons from this quote? Patience. Just wait, and believe......and you shall achieve.

 It feels different without Alex 2 isn’t it? Feel quite lonely. Do i really miss him? Does he really that important in my life? Does he even exist? Anyway, lets move on to the socond one!!

 So the second one is Warden Once More (you can read it here). It was made by Vagabond, and it contains 699 words #verynice. So this is a random fan-made short story that i picked from Warcraft fandom. So this is a story about Adinassa Moonwalker and her sister Maiev Shadowsong (Btw, i’m just gonna put this here. I don’t think Adinassa even exist in the real warcraft lore. I tried to do some research about her, and i found nothing. So yeah, fan-made character). So basically, this is a story about their reunion. Adinasa, who abandoned them long ago, finally return (Well, not that she “return”. I think they’re “accidentally” met because all the night elves is joining The Alliance). Anyway, before i explain any futher, let me show you the quote i picked

 In the story, they talked for a while (quite a long time, actually). And then, Maiev asked her to re-join The Watchers, Maiev’s special group. After hearing that, Adinassa was shocked. She asked Maiev the reason behind that. She is so confused because she’s already abandoned them. And she think she is not worhty for being a member of The Watchers again. But then Maiev explained, that Adinassa is not abandoning The Watchers. She is just seeking for justice and vengeance. And once again, Maiev said “We need you, Adinassa”. And then, with a smile on her face, she’s joining The Watchers once again. And the conversation in the bookmark above, is the first conversation Adinassa had with Maiev after officially joining The Watchers. For me, it’s like a sign. A sign that their relationship as sisters is alive, once again, under the light of the moon, in the middle of the night. And that’s why i chose that quote.

 And i think thats it for today. I hope you enjoy this post. If you’re still reading up to this point, thank you so much. Now if you excuse me, i’m gonna play Genshin impact with my mom. Thank you for reading. And i promise, Alex 2 will be back next week. And last but not least, don’t forget to drink water. Bye~~

Let Me Write A Poem About You

 Hi, its me again. Welcome to my 5th post. Do you miss me? Probably not......But whatever. Because today i'm gonna talk about something interesting. Okay Alex, please be something interesting. You're letting us down last time, buddy. Don't worry. I promise, this will be interesting. Because today we're gonna talk about.....POEM. You know what, that is kinda- Shush! Before you complain, let me explain. Now first of all, i don't like poem. I don't like 'em and i don't know why. Maybe because i can't find the beauty inside of it. But, it all changed, when i found out about DDLC. DDLC is a psychological horror cute visual novel game that let you interacts with all the in-game characters through poem. Its a good game, to be honest. And i promise, after you play this game, you'll be terrified happy. Um, i thought we're gonna talk about poem, and not about this....absurd game. Oh, sorry, my bad. Let's get back to the topic.Today we're gonna talk about poem. More specifically, acrostic poem. If you don't know, acrostic poem is one that uses all the letters in a word or name as the first letter of each line of the poem (more info here). So today, i will pick 2 characters, and i will make an acrostic poem for each of 'em. So without further ado, LETS GO!!

 So the first character (from the reading text) is Monika from DDLC.

(Source : https://www.meme-arsenal.com/memes/4fd79c294c2eacf5f46e4192f1e83892.jpg)

Starting off strong, aren't we? YES. Monika is the most cruel beautiful character i've ever met in my entire life. This demon woman has been haunting me for years. I don't know why but i just can't forget about her (help me pls). Monika is one of the charcters from DDLC (made by Team Salvato. You can read/play it here) besides Sayori, Yuri, and Natsuki. Now if you ask me, i can't even tell if she is the protagonist or the antagonist. She is just.....mysterious. And in my opinion, she looks creepy cute. Anyway, let's try to make a poem about her.

Mysterious

Omnipotent

Nice

Intimidating

Kind

Awesome

 Um, okay. That poem is kinda....weird. Can you tell us the meaning behind all the words? Okay, i will explain one by one. Mysterious : As i said before, no one really know much about her. Omnipotent : I mean.....in the story, she can kill/delete all the characters anytime she wants. And in my opinion, that's kinda overpowered. Nice : In one chapter, she is giving Natsuki a protein bar for free, so its kinda nice, i guess? Intimidating : Okay, try to look at this picture for 15 seconds, and i bet you'll feel intimidated. Kind : She is teaching us (the main character) how to make a poem, and its nice. And Awesome : There's nothing to say here, she is the best! Period!

Wow, that was a long one. Anyway, lets move on to the next one (from listening text), which is Uchiha Obito from Naruto Shippuden

(Source : https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto-shinobi-collection-jp/images/6/66/S-0474.png/revision/latest?cb=20170325212849)

 Now, if you never watch Naruto, then i don't know what's wrong with your childhood. What do you mean? Dragonball is way better than Na- Shush! Anyway, let's get back to the topic. Naruto was written by Masashi Kishimoto. And it's one of my favorite anime ever. You can watch the english dub here. Now, lets talk about Obito for abit. One word to express his character is.....beautiful. And i'm not saying his face is beautiful. Because if you can't tell already, his face is half crushed. There are a lot of beautiful things about him, such as his personality, his backstory, his characteristic, his charisma. Its just....well written. Its beautiful how he changed, from that one kid who always helping everyone in the village, into this international villain who wants to destroy the world because he lost one person that means everything to him. Just perfect. But its a shame that he's just a puppet for Madara to complete his objective. Anyway, let's make a poem about him.

Overpowered

Beautiful

Interesting

Talented

Odious

Now, if you want the explaination about my poem, just watch this video, it'll explain everything. For me, Obito is one of the most well-written caharcters in the naruto franchise. I just hope that he had a different ending. His story is telling people that anyone can change, its just need a trigger. When you lost the most important thing to you, the world will feel different. Then, you'll have to decide. Do you want to stay the same, or do you want to change yourself....hoping you can change the outcome, for you, and for everyone else. And that's the life lessons, folks. Wow....i never thought about that. That was awesome! I know. That's why Naruto is one of my favorite story/anime of all time.

 Anyway, that's it for today. If you're still reading up to this point, thank you so much. Now if you excuse me, i'm going to my bedroom, to sleep......i'm tired. Thank you for reading, and i'll see you in my next post. But most importantly, don't forget to drink water. Bye :)
