5 Things I Have Learned From Playing GTA V

One of the things that I enjoy doing whenever I'm out of the office is to spend countless of hours playing video games. The Grand Theft Auto franchise has always fascinated me. Protagonists are sociopaths with hearts of gold. Mod cars, weird dialogues, guns, money, and various activities fill your playing time.

When you play video games, you take everything with a grain of salt. You can't believe everything that you see or hear and that's the beauty of video games. Fantasy and reality are fused together. But it doesn't mean you can't learn anything from the time you spent playing them. 

There are missions and tasks that you need to complete. Each task has its own goal and challenges. You strategize, plan and organize what moves you need to do in order to accomplish these projects.

You learn a lot of things from playing GTA V but I just listed 5 for now.

There are 3 main characters in the GTA V narrative. You have Michael DeSanta also known as Michael Townley, a successful heist man who has been presumed dead for the past 9 years but is actually alive and hiding in Los Santos. Franklin Clinton is his protege who wants to move up in the world. And finally, we have Trevor Philips, a sociopath/psychopath who provides the laughs and craziness in the game.

I created a short video that shows my realization from numerous tries of GTA V. 

Watch the video and find out the 5 life lessons I have learned from playing Grand Theft Auto 5.

18 'Beki' Words to Add to Your Vocabulary

Gambar
The Philippines is truly a diverse country. Aside from having thousands of islands, fifty different ways to cook adobo, we also have hundreds of languages and dialects. Filipinos are also innovative. One of the popular lingo or slang that came about during the 20th Century is known as Swardspeak or Beki. The Philippine Gay lingo is built upon words, expressions, and existing languages (local and foreign). It's full of allusion to popular culture, celebrities, places, and even events. Bekispeak is unique and shows Filipino ingenuity and adaptability to culture.  In honor of Pride Month, one LGBT Advocate came up with a compilation of Beki words to help those who would like to learn the lingo.  I'd like to thank my brother, Angelo, for coming up with this helpful collection. I've always wanted to learn a new language.  Let the Beksionary be your guide. Here are 18 Beki words to add to your growing vocabulary.  1. Chanda Romero = Tiyan 2. Ermingarde / Gardo Versoza = Guard 3.

Colon Street's Forgotten Heritage Markers

C olon Street in Cebu City has the distinction of being known as the oldest street in the Philippines. Throughout its more than 400 years of existence, Colon has been the center of trade, fame, prominence and even notoriety. Colon Street Heritage Marker 2001 Named after the famed Genovese navigator and explorer, Cristobal Colon or Christopher Columbus, Colon street appeals to tourists and locals alike. Bargain shopping and deals abound the various establishments that surround the street. Its historical and commercial value cannot be surpassed. Similar to going to Quiapo or Divisoria or Recto, one has to be on high alert and aware of everything that's going on around you. It doesn't help that the years of neglect and the "I don't care" attitude added to the atmosphere of grittiness and griminess that exudes from Colon. Last Friday, I was doing research for an article I was planning to write about Colon when I came across a couple of posts pertaining to Heritage Ma

21 Writers and Poets Who Died Tragically

The tortured genius. The starving artist. The antisocial behavior. The free spirit. The wandering soul. The lost generation. When we hear or read these descriptions, who comes to mind? Our answers will all be the same --- the writer, the poet, the author. Literary artists who live by the power of their words; the might of their pen. But I'm not here to talk about the quirks of their behavior or the majesty of their talent rather the tragedy that befell these masters of the written word that silenced their emotions and souls. One of my favorite quotes from the campy movie, The Mummy, "Death is just a beginning" kept coming to mind when I was researching for this blog topic. Death did not diminish the popularity of these artists but rather enhanced it; out of curiosity, created new audiences to their writings.  Suicide, Accidents, Depression, Alcoholism, Debilitating illness, these seem to be great plot ideas for a novel. But the reality is stranger than fiction; the lives
