Pros: Effective, Easy to Use, Cheap

Cons: 3 Balls Only

Best Uses: Save Balls From Flatening

Describe Yourself: Enthusiast

I bought this product because I thought I can really "revive" the slightly dead balls I had. I found out that it takes weeks for it to come close to that. Though I did have a good use which was to save the NEW Balls that I had from flatening. I noticed that I was able to play with the new balls for quite a longer time without it flatening between non tennis sessions.

Conclusion: Its Great for Saving New Balls from Flatening.

SIP - The Little Project.

Hello My Wonderfull Friends,

I'm guessing this is my first note.

The reason for this note is because I want to Test Out this Self Improvement Project that I'm thinking about. I gave it some time to think about it and it seems reasonable that I should start ASAP.

I will call this SIP(Self Improvement Project) from now on. I will be creating a Blog of my progress during its duration which will be 9 months from now. This will consist of many aspects in my life that I need to change/improve. This will start November 12, 2008 - August 12, 2009. You ask, "Why 9 months?" I particularly don't know, it was the first # to put into my head. :P

History: Being the 208 lbs that I am now, I feel like crap. Back in the day I used to be 165lbs and felt like that I would never be big again. You ask, "You were young back then, so you were skinnier then, why reminisce about the past?" Well the thing is that, before the 165lbs days, I was 200lbs. So I actually had the experience to lose a good amount of weight. I gradually gain weight and more during the winter days. Then I was never able to recuperate to my healthy weight.

Objectives: Lose a minimum of 30 lbs. Put the Gym membership to good use. Procrastination is my Enemy.


Below the Lines Discussion
----------------------------------------------------------------

This project is not only for me to lose weight but for other aspects in my life as stated above. Besides loosing weight, there is also other things that I want to improve. My School Academics and Internet Marketing to name a few. The progression of those will also be discussed in my blogs.

Hopefully this doesn't become a waste of time. I want to see improvement and I will take that next step.

Well guys, what do you think? I would like to know your thoughts? Any help or recommendations and such will be appreciated.

DDR for Weight Loss

Ever thought of joining a gym to loss weight? Sometimes its all just determination and the will to be able to do what you wanted to accomplish. Or for the best way is just to have fun what your doing. Dance Dance Revolution(DDR) was a way for me to have both of that, enjoyment and losing weight. My addiction on DDR was tremedous in the beginning, I would play for hours. I've gotten from Light Mode to Heavy Mode in a month. DDR was also my reason for buying a PS2 at that time.

First time I've saw DDR was an arcade in the Philippines. Always wanted to try it but never did til I found out there was a game simulator called Dance With Intensity(DWI), which is not Driving While Intoxicated. lol

But back to the weight loss, I've lose a good 40 pounds on DDR. It made me gain more Stamina and Speed, as well as a healthier life. At that moment, I was also into playing Tennis, so that had something to do with it too. I've been playing DDR for a good 3 and half years about. One thing I regret, I stopped playing for a while..... gained a lot of weight back. lol But hey, theres always another time when I start playing Pump it up... eh not.

Heelys

Yup, I bought one and I'm 20 yrs old. You might say I'm such a kid but for some reason, I wanted to hover/slide like those kids. Also since it was my brother's birthday, I decided to get one for myself. Seeing as for the kids to be able to ride with the heelys pretty easily, I thought it was easy. Wrong! It takes somewhat to balance that thing. I thought it was just as easy as push and go but I guess it needs more time to get a hang of it. Don't get me wrong, I've skateboarded, BMX, inlined and all that other stuff. I don't have the worst balance so it shouldn't be so bad. The color I chose was navy/white, one closes to an actual shoe look. Soon, I'm planning on playing tennis with Heelys and see how that goes. :D

VTech Massacre

I must say, it seems that actions wasn't taken in affect like most terrible events that has happened. Information wasn't leaked out for the students about the shooting in the morning of that incident. These acts was a failure to disguised what they thought what was best for the public, assuming that they thought the public would go crazy if they heard about the shooting in the morning. But I think it would have probably better the public to have known the incident, for them to take actions that theres a loose criminal near the campus. Better yet, closing the school for the day would have been the best choice and giving the note to take high precaution of whats going on in school.

It was kinda weird to find that the killer had 2 spare hours to gather himself. Further more, having that guy around the premises of the college seemed fine for the school to have.... is awkward. From what I heard, at those 2 hours, he had the time to drop off his home videos in the mail.

Its hard to believe that it was that easy for the guy to make these attempts. Innocent lives taken away from their love ones now in grief. Very Sad.

Taiyou no Uta Movie

This movie was very moving. Though different actors was set to play the movie, I kinda like the movie a lot. For me to enjoy the movie reading the Subtitles is a heck of a great thing since I usually wouldn't "read" to follow up on my enjoyment.

For the people that doesn't know the story, its about a young girl at the age of 16 that has Xeroderma Pigmentosum(XP). Which means that she is allergic to the Sun Rays. The young girl named Kaoru Amane lives during the night time while she sleeps at the daytime. During before Sunrise, she spots a guy outside near the bus stop ready to go Surfing with his buddies. And from then on, I wouldn't want to spoil it for you so go watch the movie ;)

On the side note, Yui that played the character Kaoru Amane in Taiyou no Uta Movie did a great job with her outstanding singing. Even for me that doesn't understand the Japanese language was touched by her smoothing voice. She also have a song for the anime Bleach, which is Rolling Star and an ending song called Life.

Well for the youtubers, you can check those out anytime. Its worth the time to catch the movie. For a guy to say that, come on you got to. :)

Cobalt Flux Pad Review

Well I'm just reviewing the Cobalt Flux pad for Dancing Games. As for Starters, I own a Cobalt Flux pad with Arcade mod V2. As a average consumer, I'm very satisfied with the product I've gotten. Especially since I like Dance Dance Revolution and In The Groove, also starting Pump it Up. The Cobalt Flux is very flexible and the durability is outstanding. I've had my Cobalt Flux for about 1 year and 6 months and it is still working how it should. Usually the manual said that I have to clean underneath the lexan panels for dirt for every 6 months but I have yet done so. Even at that, the pad is still working great.

If you wanna know the level I play, I play at heavy/Expert level. So the Cobalt flux has received all the harsh pounding it gotten. I play pretty decently, without having to hit the pad that hard(flat foot method) though occasionally I go a little hardcore when its a hard song... the Max and Paranoia songs on DDR. I have had some friends that are heavy sets that played and gave no problem.


Theres a few downsides to the Cobalt Flux. The Lexan panels gets scratched easily so if you're the type that would want it to stay "Fresh", its almost impossible to do so unless you play Light Mode all the time. Theres one factor that I've heard happen to some people, the Control Box that connects to the Playstation is fragile. Though as thats said, I've dropped mine a lot and even gotten stepped on a couple of times but yet it remains prefectly just fine. Lucky me maybe.

For Pump It Up

**The Cobalt Flux also have the middle Panel to be active. I'm guessing for the people that plays Pump It Up can also play the pad with it, though the pad is not the same size used for regular PIU game. In order for the middle to be playable, between the lexan panel and the pad, theres a cardboard stuck there. It just needs to be removed and it becomes an active button for play.
