DDR’s Classical Masterpiece

Dance Dance Revolution not only blessed with great Konami original music and popular licensed song but also got a wide playlist of classical masterpiece from yersteryears. Upon researching the original composers of the song, I noticed three significant period in history that shaped music. First is the Baroque period which is culminated in the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and Antonio Vivaldi. The late 18th century saw a new age in music - the classical period, pioneered and perfected in the work of Franz Josef Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This period was marked by the growth and completion of several music forms - the sonata, symphony, concerto, opera - and by works that, as the result of greater mastery and skill with instruments, were musically richer and contained an expressiveness that opened new possibilities for music. Schubert, Chopin, Berlioz completed the Romantic period in music, each with a signal style and distinct sensibility, and each the heir of Beethoven. From Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, DDR delivers musical experiences from different times to the extreme. Listed are the notable ones from various DDR series:

21 Guns

by Green Day

Do you know what’s worth fighting for
When it’s not worth dying for?
Does it take you breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weight out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Does someone break your heart inside?
You’re in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and i

When you’re at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn’t pass
Nothing’s ever built to last
You’re in ruins

American Pie 3: The Wedding

The film begins with Jim Levenstein and Michelle Flaherty having dinner, celebrating their college graduation. Jim intends to propose to Michelle, but receives a phone call from his dad, who says he forgot to give Jim the engagement ring and was on his way. As Jim tries to stall, Michelle gets the impression that he wants a public sex act and proceeds to perform oral sex on him under the table. When Mr. Levenstein (Eugene Levy) arrives, Jim tries to hide the fact that he’s being fellated. Not knowing Michelle is under the table, Jim’s dad expresses his excitement at the proposal. Then, after Michelle bumps her head under the table in shock at hearing about the proposal, all chaos ensues as Jim ends up exposed and has to hike his pants up quickly. Saving face, he swallows what’s left of his pride and asks Michelle to marry him. She readily says yes.

As planning begins, Jim worries that the wedding will be a disaster. Michelle’s parents hate him after an accidental scene in which Jim appears to be having sex with their two dogs. Michelle’s wedding dress is made by only one designer working for one store, so Jim sets out to find the dress maker for her. And Jim can’t dance, but salvation comes in the form of Stifler (Seann William Scott), who took dance lessons. However, Stifler only teaches Jim to dance on the condition he allow Stifler to attend the wedding (Jim and Michelle had planned to leave Stifler in the dark about the whole event, but he found out accidentally after crashing their engagement party), and that he gets to plan the bachelor party.

In the mean time Stifler arranges a bachelor party on Jim’s house except Jim who unknowingly has arranged dinner for Michelle’s parents for what they call a ’special dinner’ before marriage.These three are introduced to Fraulein Brandi and Officer Krystal by Mr. Belvedere and then play Bondage and Submissive roles with these three.While they do some hilarious stuff jim enters the house and Michelle’s parents are badly embarrassed and then Steve finally saves the act by saying it was showcased to get the impression that jim is a superhero.

Michelle’s sister Cadence (January Jones) attends the wedding, and Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) is quickly attracted to her. Sadly, so is Stifler. Upon hearing that Cadence is hoping to attract a decent guy, Stifler adopts a more meek attitude and acts like Finch, and avoids swearing and speaks of philosophy and art, mostly just quoting things Finch has said in the past. But when Finch realizes that Cadence is beginning to tire of the intellectual Stifler, Finch acts immature, rude, and perverted: in other words, like Stifler as he heard Cadence being tired of ‘decent guys’ while eavesdropping on Michelle and Cadence’s conversation at the airport lavatory. However, Cadence begins to catch on that her two suitors are acting like each other, so the question of who she’ll choose becomes more complicated. In the end however, Stifler unintentionally kills the flowers the night before the wedding, and actually feels bad about it, prompting him to bring in the football team he coaches to set up the entire room with new flowers. Cadence chooses Stifler, and Finch admits that Stifler was probably better for her anyway. Stifler, angry that he can’t hate Finch after such a noble remark calls Finch a ‘motherfucker’. He is quickly reminded by Finch that “Ya know, I did fuck your mom. Twice”

The film features several trademark infamous scenes like the first two films. Stifler is charged with taking care of the bride’s wedding ring, but he accidentally feeds it to a dog. Waiting for the dog to defecate, Stifler retrieves the ring in a chocolate wrapper and goes to wash it, but is intercepted by Michelle’s mother. Mistaking it for a truffle, Michelle’s mother attempts to eat it, giving Stifler no other choice but to eat it himself to save face. Later, during the ceremony, Stifler takes a moment to quickly sniff the ring before handing it to Jim.

Michelle and Jim eventually get married. At the reception, they dance while Stifler dances with Cadence. Finch is sitting by himself when Stifler’s mom (Jennifer Coolidge) arrives. They tell each other they are over each other. However, at the end of the movie it shows Stifler’s mom and Finch in the tub having sex. The two men who were supposed to be watching Jim’s grandma (John Cho and Justin Isfield), the ushers for the wedding, are watching in awe from the window as Finch goes under the bubbles. Stiffler also ends up accidentally having sex with Jim’s grandmother when he goes to a closet to have sex with Cadence and Jim’s grandma is thrown in and he doesn’t realize who it is.

Nung nakuha ko ang Certificate of Training sa QCGH with Tina

Pumunta ako sa QCGH para makuha ang Certificate of Training ko. Pumunta muna ako kay Ma’am Banaag sa Nursing Training Office para sa certificate, then kay Dr. Salud, the hospital diretor, sa Admin Office para sa kanyang signature and hard seal. Nakasabay ko noon si Tina. Sumama ako sa kanya sa 9.0 Niners sa Quezon Ave. Then, nag-MRT papuntang Trinoma, gusto kasi niyang makumpleto ang araw niya with Tater’s popcorn. Nag-DDR din ako sa Timezone (asar, ang hina ng volume!). Nag-snack lang kami sa SH at umuwi na.. what a day!

Into the Mystic

by Van Morrison / The Wallflowers

Narinig ko pinapatugtog ‘to sa movie “American Pie 3: The Wedding” while Jim and Michelle take to the dance floor at the reception. Note that the song begins as Van Morrison’s recording, but midway through it changes to The Wallflowers’ cover version. Nice one…
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don’t have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul

Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don’t have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic
Come on girl…

Get Smart

200px-Getsmart08.png
Maxwell Smart, an analyst for the top secret American intelligence agency CONTROL yearns to become a field agent like his friend Agent 23 whom he idolizes. Despite scoring extremely well in the acceptance tests, Max is denied the promotion as the Chief of CONTROL feels that Max’s analytical skills are too valuable in his present assignment. This changes when CONTROL headquarters is attacked by its arch-enemy, the terrorist organization KAOS, led by a man known only as Siegfried. Both KAOS and CONTROL have been under the radar since the Cold War, but when Max’s analysis got an agent infiltrating KAOS, KAOS struck back hard. As a result, almost all of CONTROL’s agents’ identities are exposed, leaving only Max and Agent 99, whose recent plastic surgery has protected her identity, to pursue the culprits whilst former field operatives such as 23 are demoted to desk jobs. Max is promoted to field agent status with the codename Agent 86, but the experienced 99, viewing the naive and bumbling but overwhelmingly enthusiastic Max as an irritating encumbrance, is reluctant to partner with him.

After a series of mishaps while travelling on a commercial airliner, Max and 99 infiltrate Russia by parachute, hoping to trace KAOS’ recent acquisition of nuclear materials through its chief bombmaker, Krstic. Along the way, they are attacked by Dalip, a formidable henchman of Siegfried’s. Infiltrating a luxurious party hosted by Krstic, they trace the nuclear material (specifically Yellowcake uranium) to a KAOS nuclear weapons factory disguised as a Moscow bakery, but Max is forced to shoot Krstic when he and his men corner them. Infiltrating the bakery, Max meets with Siegfried and his second-in-command, Shtarker, only to learn that Siegfried was expecting him; a double agent has compromised his and 99’s identities. Max manages to escape capture and seals the weapons factory with explosives. During their escape, Max and 99 are confronted by Dalip; realizing that he knows Dalip through hours of listening to him on spy ‘chatter’, Max manages to persuade Dalip to spare their lives by giving him advice on how to repair his failing marriage. The Chief sends 23 to observe the clean-up of the factory, but KAOS manages to sneak the weapons out through the Moskva River, leaving 23 to report that only a bakery has been destroyed. Realizing that Max was alone during his key discoveries, CONTROL believe Max to be the double-agent; 99, who has been gradually falling in love with Max through their shared experiences, is heartbroken but takes Max into custody.

Subsequently, CONTROL becomes a laughing stock in the intelligence community, and their advice is disregarded when Siegfried transmits a threat to the United States government; pay him $200 billion or he will release the missile codes to rogue states. Whilst Max is in a CONTROL holding cell, Dalip sends him a coded message via the radio show American Top 40 revealing Siegfried’s plan; as a ‘demonstration’ he intends to detonate a nuclear device during the President’s visit to a concert performed at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. Max escapes from CONTROL, takes items from the original 1960s television series (such as the Shoe Phone, cars, suit and Colt Detective Special) and flies to Los Angeles to unite with the Chief, 99, and 23, who have flown out to persuade the President to take the KAOS threat seriously. Although 23 is skeptical, Max manages to convince 99 and the Chief that he is not the double agent. As KAOS plants the nuclear bomb in the concert hall, Max discovers trace amounts of radioactivity on Agent 23, exposing that he was lying about the bakery; revealed as the double agent, 23 takes 99 hostage and flees, forcing Max and the Chief to give pursuit. Managing to infiltrate 23’s car, Max rescues 99 and confronts 23, but in the struggle the car is set on fire and forced onto railroad tracks; 23 is killed when the car collides with a freight train. Realizing that the bomb will explode with the final notes of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy”, Max, 99, and the Chief manage to reach the concert hall and tackle the conductor with seconds to spare, preventing the bomb from going off. During their escape, Siegfried insults Dalip once too often, previously threatening to kill his wife if he failed. Even though he mentioned he had done his job, leaving him with no intention of killing her, he openly states that he would be “doing the sighted world a favor”. Finally having had enough, Dalip throws Siegfried out of their car over the side of a bridge in response. Max is hailed by the President as a hero, and walks off the stage heroically, with no one mentioning that there is a huge hole in his pants exposing his bare bottom, because it would ruin his moment. As CONTROL celebrates their success, he and 99 begin dating.

30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)

by The Motion Sick

30%20Lives%20%28Up-Up-Down-Dance%20Mix%29.png?t=1221801649

From Dance Dance Revolution X, this song runs in melodious  BPM and was performed by Boston-based indie-rock-alternative band called The Motion Sick. The Motion Sick are Travis Richter (drums), Matthew Girard (bass), Patrick Mussari (guitar) & the loverboy in the video - Michael Epstein (guitar, vocals).

r4ku0sqkchxocmjgswpnl355_128659701391320000_TheMotionSick.jpg

The song has nice music video as directed by Neil Forman. I can’t help myself looking the background music video of the song instead of focusing on the pattern of arrows! It tells about the guy who fall in love in this sexy girl, and want to spend all his 30 lives (if he would born again) with her. You will also hear ‘Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Select Start’ in the song (reminds me of playing Super Mario Bros. in my NES!) that corresponds to the arrows - a nice moment to imitate the steps in the video! Here’s the partial lyrics of the song:

What if I were born again and my Zen
Didn’t kick me up a notch
I won’t know what to do without you
So I’ll just sit back and watch as

Days turn into nights turn into weeks
Turn into years
The stars go around
And they cut the ground
And the lights all disappear

No matter what I do, yeah it’s true
I long to spend another 30 lives with you
Yeah I do, I’d love to spend
Another 30 lives with you

Para kay Ann ang kantang ‘to…
Kung ang buhay ay isang
Umagang nakangiti
At ikaw ay ang lupang
Sinusuyo ng bituin

Di mo man silip ang langit
Di mo man silip
Ito’y nandirito pa rin

Kung ang lahat ay may katapusan
Itong paglalakbay ay makakarating
Din sa paroroonan
At sa iyong paglisan
Ang tanging pabaon ko ay pag-ibig

Sa pagbuhos ng ulan
Sa haplos ng hangin
Alaala mo ay nakaukit
Sa pisngi ng langit

Di man umihip ang hangin
Di man umihip
Ika’y nandirito pa rin

Ok naman ang paglalaro namin, hindi nga lang ako maka-AA kasi kinakapa ko pa ang dance pad nila, pero natapos ko ulit ‘yung Fascination ~eternal love mix~ by 2MB. Nandoon din sila Kuya Meinard, nakita ko rin si AJ. Pag-uwi namin, halos hindi kami makasakay dahil sa malakas na ulan at sooobrang trapik, hindi na nga umuusad ang mga sasakyan. Naglakad kami papuntang Munoz!

Melancholy of Haruhu Suzumiya

Haruhi Suzumiya (涼宮ハルヒ, Suzumiya Haruhi?) is the general name for a series of light novels written by Nagaru Tanigawa and illustrated by Noizi Ito, and subsequently adapted into other media. The story follows the title character, Haruhi Suzumiya, a high school girl who can unconsciously change reality, and her strange antics with her school club, the SOS Brigade, which she founded to investigate any mysterious happenings. Haruhi forcibly drafts her cynical classmate Kyon who narrates the series, and similarly recruits three additional members into her club: the silent bibliophile Yuki Nagato, the shy and timid Mikuru Asahina, and the friendly “mysterious exchange student” Itsuki Koizumi. These members soon reveal themselves to Kyon as the extraordinary characters Haruhi is seeking, sent by their various organizations to observe her and hold her reality warping powers in check by maintaining the illusion of a normal life.

The first novel was published in Japan on June 6, 2003 by Kadokawa Shoten, with nine individual novels published and a planned tenth as of April 1, 2007. The light novels have been adapted into three separate manga series, three video games, and a television anime adaptation. After the anime adaption aired in 2006, publishing company Kadokawa Shoten received various offers licensing both the novels and its various adaptations.

The novels are licensed for English language release in the United States by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers and Yen Press and the anime adaptation was licensed for North American distribution by Kadokawa Pictures USA division, which then sublicensed production and distribution to Bandai Entertainment.

Hands Down

by Dashboard Confessional

Breathe in for luck,
breathe in so deep,
this air is blessed,
you share with me.
This night is wild,
so calm and dull,
these hearts they race,
from self control.
Your legs are smooth,
as they graze mine,
we’re doing fine,
we’re doing nothing at all.
My hopes are so high,
that your kiss might kill me.
So won’t you kill me,
so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury,
or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.

The words are hushed lets not get busted;
just lay entwined here, undiscovered.
Safe in here from all the stupid questions.
“hey did you get some?”
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can’t hear…
so we can get some.

bag

bag.png?t=1199867738

An unusual 10-footer that runs at 65 BPM, despite the fact that its true BPM is 130. The stepset’s difficulty lies mainly in reading the arrow patterns, which appear in extremely dense clusters of 1/24th notes. Because of this, many players do not consider “bag” to be a 10-footer at speed modifiers higher than the default “x1″. Regardless of the scroll speed, the steps have notoriously difficult timing, caused by the game engine’s inability to properly space triplet-based notes (it rounds them to 1/64ths). This also affects songs such as “BURNING HEAT! (3-Option MIX)” by Mr T. with Motoaki F. and “AFRONOVA.” by RevenG. The problem, however, is amplified in “bag” due to its slow BPM.
