Inventions are what evolves society. Invention has been going on since the dawn of time. There are a lot of inventions I hate down to my bones. And that is the Rocket Fishing Rod. I mean have you even seen the commercial for it? When I saw it, I was such amazed how terrible inventors are these days. I think this Rocket Fishing Rod is got to be one of the dumbest inventions I have ever seen. It’s terrible!
Why? Why would someone ever invent some thing like that? It looks so terrible it’s one of those thing that you can never see yourself using. I can NEVER see myself holding that terrible colorful fishing rod that looks like a hybrid of a water gun and those Nerf guns. How do you look at someone and say they’re a professional fisher if they are holding oneof these device.
I’m confused. Why is it even invented? Is it any better than a regular fishing rod(other than the colors)? What makes it so special? Where is the authenticity when you fish with that thing? Where is the originality? I can only imagine someone coming home to their wife saying: “Honey, look, I caught a big fish–using this Rocket Fishing Rod! I knew it was a great invention!” Can you imagine your dad saying that, holding a colorful thing that is supposedly a fishing rod? Just the visual alone is tremendous.
It’s like playing basketball with a deformed ball with the ability to float. It’s like playing footbal with a new deformed football that is as light as a feather. It’s like crafting a wooden handmade weapon but using plastic. It’s like writing a book but letting a computer edit it for you. It’s just not the same! When someonething loses its highlight or its speciality, it loses a lot of it’s authenticity and originality. Fishing will never be the same if I that product is used. I hate it.
McDonald: World’s Most Irresistable “Drug” April 7, 2009

You know what illegal drugs are don’t you? Of course you do, who doesn’t? If you are NOT an illegal drug user, let me ask you a question: Why are you not a drug user? You answer: Because you know it’s bad. I know right! You know it’s bad for you so you don’t take illegal drugs. THIS IS COMMON SENSE.
You know what McDonald’s is right? Of course you do, EVERONE in the world knows it. McDonald is the most known fast food place. It is iconic. I have never met anyone in my life who doesn’t know what McDonald is. It is the icon for burgers, fries, soda and more!
So what do I have to say about it? Well, did you know McDonald is unhealthy? OF COURSE YOU KOW IT’S UNHEALTHY! Who doesn’t know it’s unhealthy? My point is EVERYONE in this freaking world knows that McDonald is unhealthy. So the question is: WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL GOING TO MCDONALD DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY KNOW IT’S UNHEALTHY?
I don’t get it…I don’t understand. If you were to ask anyone that likes/loves McDonald if they are aware of McDonald being unhealthy, their answer is going to be YES. Why? Because whoever you are, you know that McDonald is bad. You’ve heard it from TVs, papers, magazine, people, videos, teachers, and everywhere! YOU know it, EVERYONE in the USA knows this FACT. Why? Why? Why?
Are people in America really that stupid? Are they that stupid to eat in a place that has “Unhealthy” written all over it? I mean, they know. Here is the thing, have you ever watched “Fastfood Nation“? If you haven’t, I suggest you do! It is an awesome movie! It’s a documentary about fastfood and it is amazing. See what you think of fastfoods after that. there is also this bonus on its Special Features/Bonuses where you can see the process of how the meat from the slaughter house gets to your burger. I have to tell you, it is so disgusting! It even said that in every burger there is a pencentage(I forgot the percentage) of fecal matter! Can you believe that?
Also, for all the teenagers and people my generations, have you ever watched “SUPERSIZE ME”? Of course you have. All of us watched it in our science class in middle school. The movie is a documentary about this guy named Morgan Spurlock who eats nothing but McDonald for 30 day. It is an awesome film. So why are people still eating McDonald’s? What I find very ironic is that the people who suffers from health issues(because they eat McDonald very often) are the people who complain and become depressed due to their health problems.
If you are wondering why I titled this “McDonald: World’s Most Irresistable ‘Drug'”, it is because McDonald is a lot like drugs. Everyone alive knows it’s bad, but people are still eating it, even though they know this down from their guts. And why is it irresistable for people? I don’t know. I always get a vague answer to that. It’s just stupid! My question to this is: Where is the common sense?
Modern Cartoons vs. Classic Cartoons April 6, 2009

If you’re like me, you are a fan of classic things. For this topic, I’m talking about cartoons. Yes, remember those days when cartoons were the greatest thing to watch. I love the cartoons from back then. I go way back. Now, I just think cartoon channels are trying way too hard. They should just make cartoons the way it was, simple but awesome. Cartoons now are just freaking stupid and not even funny. They lost that essence of enjoyment while watching the show.
I mean, ever watched Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon lately? The cartoons are just Try-Hard-Bad-Cartoons. All from concept to dialogues. From story to characters. Just terrible. These are few of the classics that I want to watch again:
Hey Arnold, CatDog, InvaderZim, Rugrats, Tom and Jerry(my favorite), Powerpuff Girls, Pokemon, Scooby-Doo, Bugs Bunny, Looney Toons, Doug, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Johny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, Ed, Edd, n Eddy, Dexter’s Laboratory, Captain Planet, Danny Phantom, Rocket Power, Evil Con Carne, Teen Titans, Smurfs, Kids Next Door, Billy and Mandy, Samurai Jack, AND MORE!!!
Today, we have wierd horrible cartoons such as: Chowder, some celebrity island show, Flap Jack, 6Teen, Ben10, Bakougan, Code Lyoko(horrible show), George of The Jungle, Johny Test, Robot Boy, My Gym Partner’s a Monkey, Squirrel Boy, Drama Island, The Barnyard, Penguins of Madagascar, Mighty B, AND MORE!!!
I just think that it would be better if these classic shows woulb be brought back. It’s just not the same. These shows might be old but they are so cool. So much better. What do you think? For example, Tom and Jerry is the BOMB! It was off the chain! Now, I fall asleep watching the new shows…Classics are always better.
Asians and North Face in SF April 5, 2009

Everyone knows what North Face is right? It’s an outdoors brand that has the logo of the Half Dome. So what do I have to say about it? You would understand this more if you live in San Francisco from where I am. If you attend a public school here in the Bay Area, you know exactly why. You see, in my school, the only people who wears and has North Face items are the Asians. Yes, Asians. Again, it may differ because you live somewhere else and the majority in your place are not like SF.
So anyway, here is what I have to say. 99.9% of NorthFace items such as backpacks, windbreakers, jacket, and sweaters that are North Face are owned by Asians. I am dead serious. Oh my god, why? Why is that? What’s so special about North Face? I mean if you go outdoors I understand that it is an ideal brand to have. But that’s what sucks about it, they’re not going outdoors!!! I swear, you see an ABC (American Born Chinese) for example, here is how they will look: they will have a North Face windbreaker or sweater. Their backpack is also a North Face. Yes, I know right. But here is where is gets worse. So these people wear a windbreaker to school, almost everyday right? What kills me is the way they wear their windbreakers/sweater. It is ALWAYS zipped ALL THE WAY up! Why? I am serious, They always have their sweater or jacket zipped all the way up. I guesse they think it’s cool. Because you know, they want to look like Naruto or those anime character that usually has a collar up to their chin. I don’t know.
When I see these people anywhere, the bus, in school, streets, that’s how I can tell they’re an ABC, they wear North Face. That’s the reason why I don’t wear or buy any North Face, because I don’t want to look or be labeled like them. By the way, I just want to say that I have NOTHING against Asians/ Chinese. All I’m saying is how North Face is related to them. So I don’t want to have a North Face because of that reason. You see, I have a streotype or bias against people based on the way they wera clothes. It might sound like a bad thing but EVERONE does. Don’t you? And based on my observations, there is somethiing about all North Face wearer that I am not a fund of.
The Clothing Brands I Hate April 5, 2009

If you live in San Francisco, the same place I live, you’ll know exactly why this blog is what it is. There some clothing brands that I don’t dare to buy and just in general I HATE. No affense to those people who loves the brand to much. These are the brands I hate so much:
- Abercrombie and Fitch
- Hollister
- American Eagle
- Aeropostale
- LRG
So why do I hate these brands? One is because it’s such as mainstream brand. And I’m anti-mainstream! Secondly because here in San Francisco, in all public school MOST people who wear these brands, and ASIANS. Yeah. You might disagree and it’s probably because you don’t live here in where I am. I know right, aren’t these brands “White” brands? Why are they “Asian” brand? I just want to make clear that I have NOTHING against Asians (I have a lot of asian friends) or Whites. All I’m saying is that I’m so confused why they wear it. Do they wanna be like White? I don’t know.
If your in disbelief, I swear, here in San Francisco Asians are the ones wearing them(other than Whites). But again, I also just don’t like it because it’s so mainstream. I feel like when I wear something mainstream, I’m being tagged with a label or something.
Anyway, what’s so special about these brands anyway? For God’s sake, I still have Old Navy, GAP, and all the old clothing brands I know. When I walk into a store of these, they are all Asians (and White)–here in SF. It’s so rare to see minorities wearing these. Also what’s with the advertisement on the Abercrombie and Fitch? Always a bunch of half naked people. Is that why people go there? Not to mention, they’re all one race. Even though they try to hide it with Black and White effects, it’s preety obvious. And these clothes are really expensive.
And if you’re not from San Francisco, it goes for you too. Next time you see people wear these brands, take note of their race/nationality and you’ll be amaze how similar most of the people who wear them.
Cellphones!: The Universal Device April 5, 2009

Have you ever seen the first phones? They look like the crappiest things ever created. But I think it was genius! Phone then evolved into a very, very powerful device. Then it became a CellPhone. EVERYBODY has it. Well, at least 90% of students. Ever took a moment to just think of how amazing just the idea of communication? How you talk to a device and your voice gets delivered to another device. How you can communicate to just about anywhere in the world. Just how you can do anything in your cellphone today. Look at the iPhone as an example. What’s not in it? Is it me or is it wierd to tell someone that your cellphone is an iPhone?
I once asked myself: “Will they ever sell a cellphone made just for talking?”. First came the texting(txt). This made the whole idea of conversation so different because it was like writing a letter but 10,000,000x faster! Then came the camera. Who needs to bring a camera if all you need is your phone? Then came the music! Not ringtones, but music with lyrics. Now, who needs you Walkman or your boombox? Then came the internet! Yes, the internet. into people’s phones. You have the internet in the palm of your hands! It’s amazing(to most people)! Now, I wouldn’t be able to count them. They have EVERYTHING from internet, videos, planner, games, music, camera and applications (of anything and everything).
For me, it feels too overwhelming to have everything in my phone. It doesn’t feel like a phone anymore. They might as well call is a computer. I wouldn’t be surprised if years from now, you can cook your food in your cell phone.
Remember how the camera part of your phone is the side dish and the calling is the main dish? Or how the txting or the mp3 part of your phone is the side dish? Now, the calling part is the side dish. Calling is the bonus. Phones are seen by what else you can do other than call. Which is ironic because tha was what it was made for. Today, it’s hard to pick a phone because they’re all so advance. Why not just make one phone because the differences in brands are pointless because they all have the same purposes and bonuses? I think they should. It saves us from the trouble of picking.
For me, I love the cellphones because I can call people. But I don’t like the part how it’s almost illegal to call it a phone. More like the Universal Device in the palm of my hand.
Microwave!: How it revolutionized American food April 5, 2009

The world of technology is ridiculous! It has affected the human lifestyle is every possible way. Personally, I am not a fan of technology. I am the last person you should talk to about technology. I know the least about technology. I don’t even know how to operate my phone. Microwave is one of the “Must Have” appliances in every American homes. It’s just the device needed to get the task done faster than anything else.
It can serve your foor in less than five minutes. When were you last served a meal in a restaurant in less than five minutes? Never! What amazes me is how for some people, it’s not fast enough. Are you FREAKING kidding me? Less than five minutes to get your food done and it’s not fast enough? That’s unbelievable.
I hate it when I’m in a room and people are waiting in line to use a microwave. They set it for a minute or until a point when their food is as ready as if out of the stove. What kills me is the part when they stand there ar when they pace mumbling, “Hurry up…C’mon…”. It always seize to amaze me because it’s so annoying for someone to be an impatient punk like that. Think about this for a minute…Before the microwave, people depended on the art of cooking. Okay? They would cook the food the way it has always been cooked since the dawn of time. The same way people always have. Those people would kill for a microwave because microwave would have been mistaken for God due to its amazing speed. And people today are just complaing. I don’t get it. Why?
In addition, I’m not a fan of microwave just in general. I hate having that microwave taste on my food. And also because I’m a cook and I know how to cook. Unlike some people who can’t cook (you know who you are; it may even be you) who are just spoiled bratz who can’t take care of themselves. It’s so sad. Also, study shows that microwave food are not healthy just in general. So as I was saying, I just think so MANY people are so lazy. They are too dependent on technology. Again, it’s so sad. Very sad.
