ReView

Anak ng tinapa, pagkatapos ng lahat, bawal na ko magpost sa notes sa FB! Mukhang wala na talagang choice. hehe Anyway.... Ayun, after lahat ng hokus pokus ko sa pagrepair ng computer, ang ending eh palit HDD. hehe Bad trip talaga, napagastos pa ko ng di oras, mabuti na lang at mukhang sulit naman. Parang bago na ulit ang computer ko. 

Bad trip naman, talo ang UST sa finals game 1. Sana makabawi naman kahit isa sa sabado. haha Late na ko nagpost for the past month kasi naman, almost 3 months ako napeste ng prob sa computer.. Pero eto na at ayos na. Problema lang seagate ito, so medyo babantayan ko itong HDD. No choice eh. hehe Di ko akalain na next month eh regular month ko na naman, at parang ang bilis ng isang taon. One of the fastest years in my darn life. 

My view for this year, I'll just discuss it next month. =)

Bwisit talaga, di na ko makapost!!! Erghhh... hehe Ano pa, ah di ko pa nasusubukan ang importante sa lahat, ang paramihin ng epektos. Medyo tantsahin ko lang ito at tignan natin kung gaano katibay ang seagate!

Baka may gusto tumalo sa GSW ha.. Please lang, di pwede ito na wala silang talo. hahaha Medyo babawasan ko na nga ng panood ng jdrama at net. Mukhang mapapaaga ang aking new year's resolution.. PBA eh ewan ko parang luko luko yun comissioner. Pero importante, nanalo ang Alaska! hahaha

At ano pa pala, hay, longer list of avoid to eat foods! Damn, I'm getting older fast. Kala ko vertigo eh pang matanda lang. Oops... Sad but I will miss peanut butter, chillz, saka milk. =(

Well, ano pa.. Hmmmm I can say, parang may naisip na ko. Yun lang. Saka ano pa, wala lang..

Let's just end this year right? =)

flashbacks: Chaperone

Kala ko Chaperon pero may E pala. hehe Hmmmmm looking back in my childhood years, di ko naman alam na may tawag sa mga taong sinasamahan ka kahit saan. Di naman siyempre tawag eh alalay. Iba naman yun. Yun tipong sasamahan ka lang at babantayan kahit di ka kausap o kung baga tutulungan ka. Nandiyan lang siya at taga dala ng pera at taga bayad. hehe Naisip ko lang kasi, siyempre yun mga chaperone mo eh kamag anak. Tito o tita ang lagi yun mga sumasama sa'yo. 

Ginagawa ito noon kasi nung bata ako, eh medyo palabas ako lagi, eh di naman lagi sumasama sina Dad or Mum, so inutos nila sa mga kapatid nila. Lalo na si Mommy na puro yun mga Tito ko sumasama sa kin lalo na sa mga pasyal. Or minsan si Tita din, naisip ko nga, parang sa side ni Dad eh doon sa US, noong pumunta ako dun, ayun kasama ko sila. Pero di na chaperone, kasi iba na yun. hehe Napansin ko lang kasi noon panahon na yun, basta paglabas ng bahay at punta sa mall, eh turo ko lang gaya lang SM north. Kausapin ni Mommy si Tito tapos ayun, samahan na ko punta ng SM at mamasyal. Yun lang. Kain, laro at minsan may binibili lang para sa kin. 

Ngayon, naisip ko na parang di lang pala utos na samahan ako lumabas, kung hindi siyempre enjoy na kasama sila. I mean natuto ako paano gumala at a young age! hahaha Saka paano mamasahe saka directions din kailangan memorize.. Saka paano magtanong o umorder lalo na kakain ka sa fast food or sa food court. Saka siyempre importante eh focus dun sa sinasamahan mo, lalo na bata! Naku, kung saan saan pumupunta...

Pag naiisip ko yun, laki pala ng tulong nila. Pero nakakalungkot din kasi yun dalawang Tito ko na lagi sumasama sa kin nung bata sa pasyal o bantayan ako, eh pumanaw na. Tito Jofre na siya lagi ko kasama pag sa SM ang punta. hehe Lalo na dati, dahil gusto ko makita live yun Kwarta o Kahon, ayun, siya yun pinasasama ni Mommy. Saka di lang sa SM, sa mga ibang lugar pa. Tahimik lang siya kasama pero maasahan, batak pa naman siya dati eh! Parang bodyguard ang dating niya. hehe 

Tito Dan naman, ayun, isa pa siya na nung bata hanggang mag HS na ko, pag may pupuntahan at kailangan nandun din siya kasama yun blue niya owner na jeep! Kahit minsan napabagal magdrive pero nakakaabot naman kami. Matutuwa naman ako sa kanya dahil masarap naman siya kasama kumain sa kwentuhan sa basketball! Nakakalungkot lang, sa huli kahit gawin na namin lahat para gumaling siya, eh di din nakaya.

Ah di pa naman lahat sila napayapa na, nandiyan pa din si Tidad na di lang the best tutor kung di siya ang una nagdala sa kin sa DV! hehe Tapos yun mga katulong dati pag no choice na. hahaha Kahit sa palengke o punta sa bahay ng barkada o minsan kakain sa mga ganito, sila kasama. Lahat sila, siyempre malaki natulong at kahit well, matanda na, eh nakakatuwang isipin na kahit di ko naramdaman yun importansya nila dati nung bata ako.. Ngayon ramdam ko na at pasasalamat din kasi dahil lahat sila naging mabait sa kin. 

Lalo na ngayon, may lagi ako sinasamahan at kailangan samahan paglabas. Grabe nga tong kasama ko, mas mabilis maglakad kaysa sa kin! hehe Tuwing nauuna siya, naiisip ko nun bata ako.. 

Titingin sa likod kung nasa nandyan pa ang Chaperone mo. 

Not Showing: Sting: Into The Light

I was surprised that Sting has a picture with the Sting from the Police! hehe Anyway, that was one of the shots that I liked when I watched this simple documentary. Thanks to Algerro's favorite appetite to watch wrestling documentaries that week, I also enjoyed his viewing. For those who don't know Sting, ah he's one of the best professional wrestlers in history! The only or one of the great wrestlers outside WWF. For short, he's kinda legendary.. 

First time I saw him was in that WCW game in NES, wayback my childhood years. I have no idea that time he's the main attraction in WCW but he looks cool.. Then decades after, even with WWE domination in my HS years, WCW was going into ruins but one dude stands firm, that was Sting. It's interesting that this documentary was really focused from Sting's beginnings into his first time ever joining to WWF last year.. 

Few things that I hoped they added in this documentary.. First was the section where ultimate warrior and sting tag team story was kinda short and Ultimate warrior himself only has one shot. Another thing, more clips of his best matches althought not possible due to the editing of this film will make it longer. 

It's a joy watching how Steve Borden begun from a sport freak guy into a legend. A lot of surprising facts shown here which added the fun into this film. One of the suprising facts that he did not really go to wrestling training unlike most of the WWE or wrestling stars. He just maintained his body very much at that time and someone just invited him to wrestle. Another interesting facts that why he did not jump to WWE for the longest time. A lot of interesting facts coming from him and how he told the stories even he's matches with Ric Flair.. Even he says that it's all the same, it doesn't show in the scenes or clips of their matches. 

I love on how he thought of the best Sting form, which was the crow style and his entrances and stuff. I also love the scene which he shows all the outfits or memoribilia used in his previous matches throught out the years. Great thing that WWE also shown how they welcome wrestlers and their HQ which is quite big. 

While Sting talking not only his wrestling life but also more into his personal life, I got to appreciate what he did in his career. Even he did not earn big unlike the WWE stars, you can see him really enjoyed on his decisions. I admire his priority for his family and sticking into his faith even with the toxic environment he involved into. What I also liked was his anticipation joining to WWE, he's showing his nervous emotions even he's a legend in wrestling. You gotta liked what his peers saying to him in and outside of the ring.

As you see, it's hard not to love this film especially for wrestling fans or simply like me who knew pro wrestling before.  I guess that one of the films that me and Algerro liked. hehe 

Great lesson there, even it looks like too late for him, Sting still came into the light. To do what you want as long it's the right way to do.. 

Damn one more thing, that's the strongest tag team ever, Sting and Ultimate Warrior!! I can't believe they did work together. hehe

711 v Family Mart v Mini Stop

Mini Stop - Sulit at masarap!

Family Mart- Pag may pera, sulit din at masarap!

711 - Pag no choice, pwede na, masarap minsan!

Alam na sino panalo? hehe Di ko alam kung may kanyang kanya sila fans dito, pero pagbigyan niyo na ako. Wala lang ako maisulat. hahaha Akalain mo, in fact sa Japan, ang number one eh 711, tapos Lawson (which is meron na at may branch na sila sa Quiapo), Family Mart at ang huli Mini Stop then other competitors. Nakita ko naman sa youtube videos na talagang panalo ang 711, lahat ng services at kailangan mo kasi nandun. All in one kung baga.. Parang 711 ata maglaunch sila ng bangko sa sariling convenient store ha. Akalain mo yun, bangko? hehe

Ang style naman ng kombini (japanese word for convenient store) dito.. Eh parang mamahalin sari sari store lang. Pero si 711 eh may bayad center naman, kaso may limit nung sinubukan ko dahil sa meralco or tubig, so ala din kwenta. hehe Unlike naman sa classic sari sari store, eh wala naman ibang item na meron gaya ng mga ulam or soft serve ice cream. 

Hmmmm Mini Stop? Ang sarap ng bbq glazed chicken! Walang sinabi ang bonchon na 200 pesos eh ilan segundo lang! hehe 130 lang, 2 malalaking pcs tapos 2 kanin, busog buong araw! hehe Dati kasi yun fried chicken nila minsan umay lalo na pag lamig na yun chicken. Unlike itong glazed, tanggal umay yun sauce saka di na kailangan gravy. Saka sulit kahit 1 pc! hehe Isa lang yan sa panalo dito na makakain! Siyempre, wag kalimutan ang budget starbucks nila, Chillz. hehe Naku kung kailan bawal na ko or well, minimize of kape and chocolate, lalong masarap yun chillz chocolate coffee nila. Bad trip.. hehe Pero dati, hershey's chillz talaga order ko. Kaso talo lang yun halo halo saka yun bwiset na rasberry chillz. Parang ice candy lang na mahal! Masarap din yun mga ulam nila, pero halos lahat prito. Kahit yun siomai nila fried saka shanghai sulit naman. Saka yun hotdog sandwich na may mayo.. Sa tagal ko kumakain sa kanila, di ko pa natikman yun siopao nila. hehe Ano pa pala, di makakalimutan ang budget friendly, high blood kariman! Lalo na yun tuna kariman (nilalabas lang pag holy week), saka yun choco/caramel kariman. Ay, pag budget, kariman plus chillz or kung sobrang budget, juice na lang. Pwede na! Ganyan kasulit ang Mini Stop. Panget sa kanila... Hirap ha.. hehe Ah pag sobrang bagong luto yun manok, ang hirap kainin, di pwede rush. hehe Saka minsan kung buenas eh may dugo. Pero napapalitan naman.. Di lahat ng stores may salad! Sarap pa naman nun. Saka di lahat ng stores may sundae cone.. Ano pa, ah! Well, kasi best seller yun chillz, 50% of the time, pagdumaan ako, "still freezing" sign nandun. hehe 

Pwede pa sila magimprove, isa lang naman dapat gawin nila, edi magbayad center na din sila. hehe Yun lang naman. Saka ano pala, dapat paiba iba yun dating nung chicken nila. Kung hindi glazed, hmmm parang ang hirap pala. hehe Basta ganun. Saka ano pala, yun ulam nila sa toppers, di lang puro fried or less saucy ulam. Ok na yun dati... 

Family Mart! Launched this year ata, ah sorry end of last year.. Hmmmm Parang sa tatlo, eto lang yun talagang ginaya nila yun style sa Japan. Well lighted at sarap tambayan at yes, japanese food on the go! Naku, unahin na yun swirl na sobrang, sulit sa 35 pesos, except yun huli natikman ko na salted caramel flavor na di ko alam kung bakit siya salted caramel. hehe Pero yun green tea, blueberry ba yun or yun mixed, naku sulit!!! Saka yun mga bread at desserts, pero di ko natikman lahat, sulit din! I forgot yun name natikman ko, basta parang cream sandwich siya na hay.. Masarap, di masyado matamis, tamang tama lang. Ah lalo na yun mga drinks, yun mga ice tea na masarap nandito. Kahit masarap yun lipton sa mini stop, eh dito mas sulit, red tea yun panalo. Well ang pinaka favorite ko naman eh yun Milo Shake! Noong bata kasi ako, ovaltine ako lalo na sa pagpapak. Ang hirap kasi sa milo, hirap ng timpla.. Dito sa Family Stop, eto yun tamang timpla na Milo tapos shake pa. Kaya kahit 50 pesos yun large nila, kahit delikado sa lagnat sa dami ng ice, ok lang.. Ganyan siya kasarap. hehe Yun nga lang minsan panget ng timpla nila, parang bumili ka lang na malamig na milo. hehe Ok yun hotdog meal nila.. Ok lang din yun ramen nila, kahit medyo mahal.. Saka yun salad, masarap at sulit kasi marami! Ah yun  gourmet sandwich nila, healthy and masarap din.

Hmmmmm kailangan nila maraming branch, kasi gaya dito, pag may pera, ang layo ng Family Mart sa amin.. Ang malapit Mini Stop at 711.. Sana dumami pa sila. Saka yun manok nila, medyo di tapat sa Mini Stop, mas maliit ng kaunti saka di naman gaano kasarap. Dapat yun Milo shake machine nila maayos lagi. hahaha Ah lastly, sana medyo babaan nila ng presyo yun mga foods nila. I mean yun meals at other food items. Di naman price drop but a bit lower, para mabusog ako 200 dapat gastusin ko. Sobra sobra sa mini stop ang 200, saka para nag jollibee na lang ako kung ganun. Pag tipid kasi ang funds, di naman mabusog pero masarap. hehe Good thing na may mga japanese food items sila benta like the green tea Kit Kat!

One time, nagwork ako some place sa chino roces ext, grabe... 711 country pala yun. Nandun kasi main office so ayun, parang 7 or 10 711 na stores sa isang street! Kung puro mini stop or family mart or puro jolly jeep yun mas sulit pa eh, kaso 711 lahat! Bad trip! hahaha Ah teka may maganda at masarap sa kanila. Yun salted caramel cone na 15 pesos lang! Hmmmm Sa kanila ata yun pesto mayo na dressing which nagpapasarap sa hotdog sandwich. Siyempre yun slurpee na masarap lang tikman once in a year. hehe Yun big gulp na talagang malaki. Ah yun 29 pesos sisig meal at giniling meal! 60 pesos dalawang ulam na, dalawang rice pa! Yun mga sandwich nila na sulit din like yun chicken pizza or parang grilled chicken burito. Ah siyempre, mister donut concessionaire sila. Ah... Lastly, dahil sila pinaka una, sila din yun pinaka marami. Minsan talaga, pag nasa place lang na sila may store, no choice di ba? Ah masarap yun hotta rice nila, yun menudo.. 

Well, yun chicken nila, mas masarap pa yun supermanok 2! (CRAP lang may alam noon. hehe) Or mas masarap kung ako na lang magprito. Kahit malaki, eh I don't know kung ano breading yun, ang alat. Kahit may free extra rice, di busog at sulit. Halos lahat ng hottarice nila, parang may araw na masarap, mostly di masarap. hehe Saka di convenient ha, unlike sa mini stop na ibang branch na may taga kuha ng drinks, lahat sa 711 effort, hanggang food kaw kukuha. Bwisit. hehe May salad sila kaso mahal masyado. At yun pala, kung may bill payment, sana lahat na di ba, di lang ibang company. Asar eh. hehe Eto pala, ang sikip lagi ng lugar nila. Ilan lang yun upuan, kaya ang hirap kumain. Ilan 711 lang yun malaking space. Geez.. 

Laking tuwa siguro nun main office ng Mini Stop sa Japan, kasi number 4 lang sila saka parang kaunti lang nila sa Japan. Dito malakas sila, dahil sa mga ibang menu saka masarap kasi. Kahit number 2 lang sila dito, eh matatalo din ang kalaban nila. Si Family Mart, eh lalakas din pero sana yun lang babaan nila ng kaunti yun price nila. Ok yun setting nila, light and fresh. 711 eh alam na dapat ang gagawin. Kung hindi, aba di na sila magnumber one pag tagal! hehe 

Parehas naman sila lahat na convenient, I mean di lang yun nandiyan sila sa mga prime spaces but more what can offer. Talagang may mga mabibili ka gaya ng snacks o minsan magazine, dyaryo, o ako naman ballpen, mabuti nandiyan sila. At minsan pagsarado na tindahan, eh mayrun naman sila kahit canned goods at siyempre ang importante sa kanila, pang inom! hehe Kaya yun, ok naman sila pagdating sa pagiging store nila. Di ko pa nagawi si Lawson pero masubukan nga minsan. hehe May isa pang panalo ng convenient store kaso talagang kaunti lang ito, Mercury Drug! Grabe, di hamak mas mura sa lahat! Yun lang walang extra menu. Mayroon sila gamot! hahaha Gaya nun sa eastwood, pagsnacks at grocery, laking tipid sa mercury drug, kaysa sa Mini Stop. hehe

Kaw, kung may pang franchise ka, sino sa tatlo pipiliin mo? =)

broken lines (collection 58)

Together in one place,
I need to share with him, even he doesn't share.
In times that he's angry, I can't summon a dare!
All I can do is to stay quiet in my own space..

Together in one place,
Even there is a table between us, he uses all my stuff.
Sometimes he asks permission,  but most of the time, it goes puff!
All I can do is be patient and replenish what's lost of me. 

Together in one place,
A lot times we don't talk even I want to talk to him..
There were times that even he talks, I just stare and skim.
All I could only do, just stay still to avoid making his eyes dim!

Together in one place,
If I could only have everything to make him better..
But for now, I can only sigh and hope for the best later.
All I can do is stay with him in one place, longer.

Jdrama: No Con Kid

Akala ko No convict kid. hehe Pero habang nagresearch ako, ang ganda ng plot. Very simple story, yun story starts sa 80's, Reiji eh isang simpleng HS kid na ayaw sa video games, kahit yun tatay niya, aba papetiks lang sa sariling video game center nila.. 

One day, habang nagbabantay si Reiji sa video game shop nila, aba may magandang babae pumasok na pangalan eh si Fumi.. Love at first sight siya at nalaman niya mahilig sa arcade/video games si Fumi. Nagkataon na yun game na gusto niya eh parang gradius, pero hindi yun ang name. Di sikat eh pero nakakaadik daw. hehe Parang gusto niya matuto nun para makalapit kay Fumi.

Nagkataon, nandun yun magaling na gamer na si Akinobu or ang nickname eh KID.. KID kasi yun ang initials nilalagay niya lagi sa game, sa mga kaedad ko at mahilig sa arcade, yun initials nilalagay pag na game over ka sa arcade. Eh nakita ni Reiji yun, nagkunwari siya si KID para makadiskarte kay Fumi. Kaso nalaman ni Kid yun strategy ni Reiji, naglaban sila sa arcade! Hahaha Tapos yun na, friends for life na silang tatlo hanggang 2013..

2 things lang naman ang medyo sana nagimprove sila. Una, kahit walang choice, sana nalagay nila sa storya yun ibang sikat na laro! Kasi naman, lahat ng malalaking game companies na feature naman sa Jdrama na to, bakit yun pili lang. Sabagay, hirap gawan ng istorya pero sana nalagay yun ibang sikat na laro like Street Fighter, Tekken, o yun console games pero walang square enix eh. hehe Basta yun, may console game pala kaso di sikat yun nilagay. 

Saka may isa pa, sana mahaba yun storya, may season 2! hehe Kaso wala eh, pinagkasya na lang sa isang season for a 30 year span plot. Kasi pwede siya mahaba saka galing naman ng cast and story, sana mahaba siya talaga para maraming games ang naisingit!

Ang galing nung plot! I mean simple pero may magandang development, kahit malungkot sa una pero as it goes along, relevant siya. For example yun kwento ni Reiji, after noong di naging sila ni Fumi, eh nagasawa tapos bum ng matagal, pero in the end, nakabawi naman siya. Kahit galit siya sa dalawang friends niya, naintindihan niya na mali din yun mga pinaggagawa niya. Yun ganun story ayos, saka si Kid, story niya applicable sa current rich guys na yumaman due to tech na bumagsak kasi sa fraud or whatever wrong decision they made. Si Fumi, simple lang siya pero ang maganda sa kanya, made sense yun pagiging addict niya sa games!

Isa pa nagustuhan ko, yun mismong pagkagawa ng jdrama, low budget pero grabe, nakuha niya ang rights at sponsor ng mga japanese game developers! Naku, for old video game fans like me, you'll love this series!! Sarap ulitin at reminiscing yun mga arcade games na pinapakita dito. Ang galing nun naisip nila paano napasok yun game sa story. Great example, grabe yun Dragonquest sa NES, naisingit nila yun at kakatuwa yun episode na yun. Grabe yun adik nila sa game na yun! hahaha  Saka yun bakbakan sa Virtua fighter 2, yun mario world na fashion show saka yun twin bee! Grabe, basta panoorin ito, a must for the old game arcade fans, well some new gamers din. hehe 

Saka yun huli, ang cast! Dan Jiro, magaling as tatay dito, kakaawa pero katuwa din. Tapos yun main 3 characters, Tanaka Kei na naisip ko parang ang tanda niya for the young part of Reiji, pero nadeliver niya.. Tuwing nakikita ko siya sa ibang jdrama, parang di siya stand out. Dito may chance siya at nadeliver niya. Kita yun pagiging adik gamer.. hehe Yun KID actor, ang galing, kita mo yun otaku niya saka yun adik at real coin gamer! Galing nung acting niya.. Saka siyempre, kaya ko din pinanood, may Haru eh. hehehe Kaya siya nakikita sa commercials in japan in a clothing line, eh one of the reasons, watch this. Iba dating niya, kahit di talaga suited for her yun HS girl despite her age, yun looks niya kasi.. Pero after that role sa jdrama, ayun na, ok na siya at maganda siya.. I know she has stiff acting here pero, it was a great role for her. Lalo na yun episode na maghiwalay na ng landas sila ni Reiji, aba kakatuwa siya dun. Saka cute niya pagnaglalaro ng games! hahaha

Hay, hirap nga lang maghanap nito ng series, gusto ko kolektahin. Parang yun collection namin ng console games, pwede na nga kami magkamuseum kasi may atari, sega, nes, PS one at PS 2, computer, game boy, psp, ayun inaalikabok lang.. Di na aalagaan. But thanks to this series...

May memories of nostalgia talaga. Hahaha

Di ko kaya yun, no continue? Sa fighting games oo, pero shooting?

Continue? 5. 4. 3. 2. 1....

Game over!!!! Bwisit! Token na naman? 

Not Showing: Yakuza Apocalypse

When a report says that Miike Takashi will be back to his roots, everybody got excited. I am one of his fans that look forward about this film, especially when that title came out.  I thought, he will go back indeed.  Even those films were outright crazy, it has a lot of sense and some of his crazy films were fantastic.

Not for this film. 

Well, after watching this flick for over 2 hours, I kinda thought, he rushed going back in his gonzo genre. Two things I did not like in this new film of his, first was yeah, sensibility. I mean, after all those mayhem for 2 hours, the ending was kinda flat and hanging. I'm glad it ended at that time. Geez, I felt it just made no sense. Almost felt I wasted 2 hours. I thought that Visitor Q, which was the film I ranked the worst he made, made more sense. 
Second thing, there were repetitive action scenes and not polished scenes. I don't know if he intended to do it or he also rushed it. I felt some scenes I hoped it was done differenly and some, just cut it. By the way, Mad Dog was not really utilized in this film, especially that last fight scene he has. Geez.

Anyway, not all fails in this film. Besides with the cool movie title, 3 good things happened in this film. First, wow, I love the first scene and some of the action scenes there. Sorry to spoil, but also how that yakuza blood scattered all over, I love that concept and yes, the mayhem. Indeed, he is back. Despite that rushed feeling in this film, he is back and I hope in the future, he'll think of more of this crazy films. Ah, another thing I like in this film, even he under used Mad Dog, I love how he utilized the cast. I mean the only known star in this film is Lily Franky, I don't know the lead star Hayato but the characters fit in its cast. Even that battered leading lady was good and I'm searching her name. hehe But other stars done a good job. Well, yeah I like that frog dude even he did not show his face and is that a korean star? Love that suit he wore. 

Miike was able to improve a lot using his cast as time goes by. Compare from his previous films which he uses small cast, but as time went by, even he has a bigger cast, the cast delivers! Last thing I like in this film, looks great! Even with a weird plot, I mean it looks Takashi has a big budget for this film and spent it wisely. Effects used were good and doesn't feel he used a lot of CGI. Like I said before, if some action scenes were not good. Some were great, especially that Lily Franky first scene. That really kick ass! hehe 

Anyway, I hope Miike was able to finish this film in order. It's a waste that it ended that way but I know.. He'll come back with a different film and same vibe. Well, Miike has done a lot of films with all the genres you can think of. I know he'll do another film better than this. 

By the way, about the title, when you finished watching this, it's easy to understand. Don't worry. 

Suck more blood! Not Yakuza blood..
