First experiences in BMO field

So on 27 april 2010 we went to a soccer match where we are consist of 5 people, actually also to celebrate my friend's birthday.
when we got there, i was amazed by how big the stadium was and how crowded the atmosphere it was. For me that day was coldest day in spring like we had to wear coats and gloves. But it was still a nice day considering the night sky was glowing.
we started off looking around the stands around the field to see what they were selling. I was satisfied with our seats, which was pretty good, but what i do not like was the downside is that our seats was close to the away fans. they were really loud.

The first half has a couple of big injuries. they had to take out the players using the medic car. Because of both those injuries, the injury time for the first half was 9 minutes. and that was the first time i saw a 9 minutes injury time. During half-time, me and my friend went down towards the field trying to be as close a possible to the field to try to take picture. we finally got allowed to go down the vip area as long a we only took a quick picture. i was s happy that we got the picture. Still in half-time, i accompany my friend to get pizzas and the she accompanied me to buy souvenirs. i ended up buying a TFC scarf. When the game almost ended, the away fans finally got quiet and i was really glad they did. they were really annoying.toronto fc won 2-0. Before going home, we took a few more pictures.

Eventhough the stadium could not be compared to other soccer stadium, especially the big ones in europe, but still i was pleased with the work of progress behind of the stadium. When we look around the stadium, it said that the owner does not really care about the capacity, he just want in small version so the audience's voices could be heard like crazy. He also was not sure that lots of people would filling up the seats if its been expanded, since soccer was not that popular over Canada. I also appreciate the thinking of him, of making the turf look beautiful. So he wants the best architectures from europe to make the pitch and everything on it look excellent. As you can see from the small picture, it shows really how this guy really want to explore the art of this sport, in the way of the good view of the pitch and its turfs.

2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

Its kind of odd for this company for producing another production because they have not been in a car market business for a while, in the way of constantly producing car. I am a pretty big Mercedez fan and i can see that they borrow some of the elements from the SL of 50 to 70's and i can appreciate the way they put an effort on improving it. This car has 563 horsepower (at 6,800 RPM) and 479 pound-feet of torque (at 4,750); 0-100 kmh (62 mph) in 3.8 seconds and 200 kmh (124 mph) in around 11.8 seconds(full detail/information from msn.ca). As you could expect from mercedez cars, they always want the comfortness for the passengers. Like in the center we could put 2 cupholders like a coffees or other drinks. The machine itself would comfort the people around like they had these I-Pod connector, the bluetooth, and a quite big reasonable size of trunk, where you could put some stuffs like CDs for the audios.

I like all the specs and stuffs, like the people who work for the design really think hard on making the car look good and stylish. The only thing that i do not like is the exclusive wing doors which i think makes the car a little bit less special in the way that it looks awkward for that design. Since the door opens up to the top and it does not work well with the mercedez type of thing, instead they should make it a bit similar like the Lamborghini Murciellago's door where it opens to sideways.

The Increase in Currency

I have been pretty surprised with what i saw lately whether on news or newspaper that our Canadian dollar is stronger than the US dollar. Like CP24 has said that the canadian has raised like up to $1.00 to the US. Some media have said that the reason behind that was because Canada's economic growth has increased better than the canadians even expected. While its the other way to the US's, which they also grow but a little bit slower.

Well if we want to debate on the reasons why its easy to explain like one by one. I would say one of the big reason for US was because they got like up to 10+ trillion debts or something. No wonder the Americans are struggling. Those big debts might even be difficult to be paid off by generations to generations of the americans. Other possible reason is that they got bigger amount of populations over us which could be the slow down process for them to grow. But i was also surprised that the American improved jobs numbers and the Obama stabilizing of the economy is pretty well done; therefore, according to their economics, i'll say we are in a deep unclimb hole so the Canadians are foolish to think there is any recovery over here.

Pretty sure the reason behind Canada being able to survive also due to their low bank leverage(level/amount in borrowing money-but in economic i should say) was less than 10;1 ratio, when the US banks were leveraging at 100:1. That why Canada got hit the least from the world recession. Other reason was because the Canadians do less mortgage than the Americans. That way the Canadian currency would rise up.

I am just hoping that this do not make the canadians shop/market lose their profit cause of the higher value of dollar. Due to that the Canadians might think of shopping by going to US. So i hope this does not stays forever, like only good for quite sometimes IoI That could well harm the Canadian economic and made the lines goes down, from where it used to be that high. Definitely we, the Canadians doesnt wanna see that kind of picture, since it would look embarrasing and bad.

Rob Drydek and his 'Factory'

For me, there is nobody in this world that can surpass the fame of Tony Hawk rather than this one man, Rob Drydek. Start to be famous from just the age of 12/13 years old he became more and more recognized as one of the world's elite skater. I start to know him from his very first series called 'Rob Drydek and his Factory' on MTV, and im trully amazed by what he did. This guy's commanding operations in a massive, 25,000 square foot industrial (and fully skate-able!) warehouse and office complex near downtown Los Angeles. Inside there, he has his own skate plaza and we can see that everything there were based of his hilarious plans. Rob is also a businessman and a hustler and why i can say so? For businessman, he has a lot of crazy business that he want to chase down. He also think of working together with one of the best drummer, Travis Barker in making a funny Hip-Hop music. For hustler, he made his own bodyguard (Big daddy) his own brand which was named 'Big'. Then they become a good friends and always wondering around like a hip-hop/skater style of swag.

Think about how he create all those stairs that could also be used for skating, how amazing was that?!? He clearly emphasis the beautiful game of skate which was usually played outdoor into an indoor game of skate at his own world. We could also see different kinds of variations on the field position and the stairs, which makes a challenge. I do also like the way he thinks in spending his moneyssssss for the good things in the way that skate was his 'field', not like spend the money for useless stuffs such as marijuana and other drugs.

Pop going down?

Sorry to say this, for those of you guys who are a music fan and im pointing specifically for 'POP' music. I found it that nowadays there were new bands that shines in the way that i totally dislikes, and why i point it to pop because it was easiest i think to be explain why. Like Lady Gaga for example. I dont know why but i found out that all the music that she produced was really weird. So what i mean was that she was trying hard to be artistic and trendy...... and unique which was good, but it came out weird for some people in the way it was too gibberish. From her last song which was 'Telephone', i listen to the lyrics and when i saw her video, i feel thats enough like i would only watch it for once. Not because it was a long video which last like 8-10 minutes, but think about all the acts she did. Myself, i think she did a lot of unnecessary post or actions like when she's been naked and uncensored. I found it unintelligence for a person just because a person wants to get an even more fame, so they would do anything eventhough its controversial or not. Even herself(Lady Gaga), she might get sued because of all she did on the video. Other example was with Kesha and her song was Bla... Bla... Bla....

From Lady Gaga, i could easily criticised her in the way that she destroyed the beautiful art of music, mainly for pop. By doing all those unnecessary act like being naked and stuffs, i am not surprised that people will start re-think on liking a pop music and move their attention to other music, such as RnB, Rock, or even Hip-Hop for God sake.

How To Train Your Dragon (3D)

I have been so lucky that i got the chance to saw this movie over the weekend. This movie is a 3D movie, produced by Dreamworks and i would say its better than 9th(3D) movie. This story has been based on a Scottish culture and there was this kid, named Hiccupp who wants to gain a respect from both his father and his tribe(viking). He did that by going into a dragon training, where his dad father think it was a useless/unworthy experience for him. The amazing thing is that he saved a dangerous and wounded dragon and he was the one who healed the dragon by himself. He named the dragon Toothless and he become like one of the best has ever trained by the people there. People respect Hiccupp because when they saw the achievement he has, they were amazed since he was just a kid.

Again, i like how Dreamworks people think of this movie, like they did on their previous movies of Shrek. I am interested in how Disney Pixar react with their rival and making an even better 3D movie. It would be interesting also if there are real dragons in this world and people knows the secret on controlling them to be a 'good' pet. I know that its just a myth but think about it. Would u ever love to have a pet like dragon, that you would not even have to pay for a plane ticket to travel around the world??Instead just get the advantage of these beast.

the Existentialism Work in progress

Unfortunately for this project we are not ready with some of the feature on our drawing. So we decided to show in a picture which has been scanned from the sketch. We're doing a human's chest, with the collage way,there are 2 doors/windows opened so that we could see what's inside of it. Inside there, there are different kinds of pictures which symbolize everything that most people think about, such as their needs, their wants, their fantasy, and the other most desire things. Eventhough in the reality it's almost impossible for him to get it. We also think of making the insides(pictures and the walls around) smudge, and that mean sof make things look like they are coming out.

The difficulity that we face is just on how locating the doors so it would looks like connected well to the chest layer.

The Idea of Master Class

For the my other art project which is master class, we are doing Master Class, and focuses more on retouching and transforming. We havent start that much since we are doing that like somewhere in June. But we are already discussing about what to say at the beginning and whose going to say which part for that. We are thinking of manipulating the colour on the picture elements, make a picture sharpen more or blurred, and probably add or removing an items. So that's what inside our mind right now. Hopefully soon by May we come up with more ideas. We are currently having difficulities on how to make like a good demos, since we are not good at those things(going into the front and stuffs).

First experience with a Blackberry Cellphone

Too be honest i feel such a bless on last saturday. So during that day my cousin is going out somewhere for the whole day and he somewhat give me the trust to take care of his Blackberry (Onyx) cellphone. So i play with it almost the whole time and i found it quite interesting, since its a somewhat different cellphone to other blackberry cellphone. Why? because it has that trackball As I said earlier, the default trackball was replaced with the optical one. While many recently Tour users complaint about the new optical trackball; but the performance of this new breed of optical trackball is definitely above the previous series. The vibration of the phone is also amazingly loud, i should said.\

This is basically the newest development series from the normal Blackberry Bold. Im quite amazed with how long the battery life could stay. I think its like 15 hours or something. I'll recomend it to any other guys to get this cellphone because it would make life much easier, in so many ways. Especially the weather application, where we could check what's happening with the conditions outside without even check the news channel on television. Also that this cellphone is amazing with the music and how good the speaker they had. It has better even better sound than the apple company has. SInce music influence people in many ways so i encourage people to use this cellphone, also for listening to music too....

A Trip To Erindale Secondary School

Yesterday me and my rugby team went to the Erindale Secondary School for a friendly match in order for preparation for the coming spring season competition. Well we know that last year there was a player from their team who got accused of manslaughtering a guy from the Lorne Park Secondary School,like he did unaccidentally kill that guy with a very, very dangerous and high tackle. The point that amazed me was that they are willing to also celebrate the death of that guy too, eventhough he was not from their school. Since that's the field where the guy with the name Manny Castillo died, so the Erindale community made sort of like a memorial place at the very far end, outside the rugby pitch in order to remember the death of that person.

I was amazed with how enthusias they participate by giving lots of flowers,with different colours of it. I really do think that they really think hard on the way of positioning all the flowers, the way they put the pictures of the passed away young athelete and all the stuffs nicely with all the decorations. I believe that's a good sample of a work of art, cause eventhough it's just a form of a simple memorial thing, but they really organize it like perfectly(like already been planned).

Call of Duty Modern Warfare: Two

To me, like for myself this Call of Duty sequence game is the best COD(from Call of Duty) game ever. First that it has more stages of adventures, more than the first modern warfare. The selections of the field where we as the shooter have to travel was also amazing, especially in Russia where we have to walk, run and shoot people and the weather itself cause us problem. Second is the slow motion sequence where we can go and kill the opponents we see. Basically it always happens after we stick a bomb to a wall, where after it explode it would let us go through the place surrounded by enemies and everything have been slowed down, except us. So we could shoot them as with the same quick precision and movement. Third is the online play which improves far a lot better than the first game sequence.

The only thing that i do not like is during the online play. There are a rules where if we did kill an ooponent for like 6 or 7 without getting killed(killstreak) then we got the priviledge of using the helicopter. That's definetly not a lot of fun if the opponent who got it, since he/she can shoot us from the top.

If you look at it, it's totally new from the old world war one and world war two, since we are fighting and killing people on the modern world. But it does related with the current conflicts that happens recently in the real world, which were the United States and Russia. So i guess the director is predicting about waht will happen if this two powerhouse country collide.

the Current Progress of My Existentialism Project

Well so far me and my partner have started to do our project, which was related with the existentialism. We are thinking of making a picture of the guy's chest part and in the middle of it there's like a window/door thing. After that we are going to stick out different pictures of his dreams, like car, house, money, family and etc. Then we would somehow thinking of putting it like on a roots together(to make it connected). The current problem that we face is how to make the window of the chest looks good that it would make people's point of view clear when they see the picture. So we want to make sure that people knows that the guy in the picture is thinking of different ideas.

The reason why we are doing this project is because this is kind of similar to the normal people, whom they are dreaming not just one dream, but a lot of what they want.

McDonalds Morality

Do you eat McDonalds? Did you know that the McDonalds's Angus Burger with Bacon and Cheddar has 770 calories? That's so many calories that they could give Rick Hansen himself a heart attack if he ate then for two weeks. Also that usually its going to be included with a fries and a soft drink(called combo). I would believe the total of 770 calories plus 360 calories(medium fries) plus about 100 to 200 calories(soft drinks), combined to be 1300+ calories which i think will shorten your life by a couple years. I suggest that we should not buy their sandwiches that often, unless you want to get less fit and fat. Based on the current life basis in this world, with the pollutions growing more and more, it is better for us to keep ourself healthy with the good lifestyle. The only least healthy products that i could found from there was the salads, with about 200 to 425 calories the maximum.
