I gotta admit, Holy Taco surely knows how to come up with good stuff like this flowchart below.  To all dog lovers out there, here’s a flowchart of what your dog is thinking when you take him/her out to a dog park.  As a dog owner, you may want to understand why your dog behaves the way he/she does.

My family has a dog (a golden retriever) and most of the time we don’t understand him.  One minute he wants to watch some telenovela with us, the next minute he goes out to the back terrace and sleeps.  I wasn’t a big fan of dogs before, I’d have a hard time seeing any four-legged creatures walking around the house.  But after we adopted him, it didn’t take me long to grow to adore him.  We call him Sir John.  He’s such an ideal dog for me.

Do you know why I think Sir John is such an ideal dog?  Because he’s clean, doesn’t bark, doesn’t lick, doesn’t step into puddles (because he thinks it’s dirty), and is willing to eat anything I feed him with (including warm rice with lots of spinach).  One more thing, everytime I take him out for a walk, I’d wash his feet/paws before taking him back to the house.. And he never complains about it.  Wooff.. Wooff… I woof you, Sir John.

I was going to give it a C, but since I like Christian Bale, I’d give it a C+.  The movie was so so, could’ve been better though.  I think they revealed too much on the trailer so when I walked into the theater, I already knew 1/3rd of the storyline and how Marcus didn’t know he was revived only to find out he was a cyborg (if they hadn’t shown this part on the trailer, this could’ve been the movie twist).

But I have to admit, I loved the action scenes, especially the scene where the terminator motorcycles were going after them, I thought it was pretty cool.  Honestly, I was hoping to see the apocalyptic war between humans and the terminators; However, McG decided to skip the hell out of it and moved on to the next part where they had to find Kyle Reese and saved him… Pfffttttttt booooooorringggg!

Definitely a C+.

One more thing, that huge freakin robot (you might have seen it on the trailer) really reminded me of one of the autobots from the Transformers.  I wonder if Michael Bay was upset thinking McG had stolen his robots.

Haceem’s Movie Rating: 3 out of 5

Seriously!

I just read this on some news Website this morning.  The Publisher THQ sent Her Majesty a gold-platted Nintendo Wii, hoping to (I quote) lure Her Majesty and her own extended family into a few endless nights of waggle-induced fun. She already got Presidential iPods in the past, and now this?  Holy cow.. This is so unfair!

They said the Queen can now claim to be the second-most popular world figure to house Nintendo’s ubiquitous console, right after US President Barack Obama snatched one up for the White House soon after taking power.

Man.. Do you honestly think the Queen will set aside some time to play Wii?  I don’t think I can picture the Queen jumping around the palace playing guitar hero, or playing Mario Kart with Prince Charles while sitting in her big high chair.

What if you’re dog sitting your girlfriend’s dog while she’s away on a business trip or something, and all of sudden her dog dies.  What would you do?  Thanks to Holy Taco, they recently posted this Ikea instruction manual how to hide your girlfriend’s dog after it dies unexpectedly.  Ikea instruction manuals are known to take something so complicated and simplify the shit out of it.  Here it is.. Enjoy!

I just wanted to give a shout out these following people who just graduated from college/grad schools last weekend:

  Comment: It’s about goddamn time man!  Thought I would never see you in cape and gown. After $40K of tuition, endless power naps in class, hundreds of dollars spent on vending machine snacks in school, hours and hours spent creating cheat sheets, you have finally graduated! Very proud of you son. Congratulations on having completed enough hours being bored in school to begin being bored at work!
• Nuy Mahadewi
  Graduated from GWU Law School
  Comment: It is true when I said I’d recommend grad school as a way to avoid a real world for 2 to 5 additional years. Glad to know that it was your one and only reason to attend the law school hahaha.. So what’s next? A master’s degree in fashion merchandise perhaps?
