Happy Birthday From Jim Sterling

On Jim Sterling's Twitch stream (30 minutes before actually typing this), I asked him if I could get a birthday greeting. He obliged and gave wonderful advice.

Ralph's Video Collection - Smear Campaign

Back in 2012, my classmates and I had to do a video/presentation reflecting one of Confucius sayings. So by default, I had to be the villain that went against it because why not?

The main premise of our presentation was that I was the big politician who was great and flashy and the other guy (Martin) would be the simple guy that had nothing to offer to the people. First we did a campaign video that consisted of me just comparing myself to people like JFK, George W. Bush, Bruce Wayne, and Tony Stark, among others.

Martin and I would go in a small debate but suddenly, a hacker somehow plays a smear video on the screen "exposing the truth" about me.

First, it showed surveillance footage of my "assistant" (a former friend of mine) leaving my room after she and I had a meeting "after hours", if you know what I mean.

Here's the "surveillance footage".

Now, a few things about this video.

Why isn't the surveillance camera on the ceiling? Why is it in body level? Who can see it? Apparently, not those two sex-heads.

That was just part of the whole smear campaign video that "someone" made.

The music I used here was from Persona 3 and personally, I think it went well with the fake seriousness the video's trying to deliver.

Okay, more nitpicks.

How could this be news when mainstream celebrities (and Korean group SUPER JUNIOR) have already known about it? Wasn't this reported to the news if those celebrities already know about it? I mean, those celebrities have tons of followers on Twitter who would share the news. Hell, it's been on The Glenn Beck Show on Fox News! How can people in the Philippines not know about this scandal if international news stations and celebrities were talking about it? Has the media really been turning a blind eye on this "scandal"?

Also, how was the video shown? If a hacker really hacked into the PC to show it, why was the computer online in the first place? If the computer that was showing the campaign videos wasn't connected to the internet in the first place, this whole thing could've been easily avoided. Maybe someone had a DVD or a VHS but who? Was it someone from the opposing side? Wasn't there someone guarding the DVD or the VHS player that was connected to the screen showing the audience?

Nevertheless, I enjoyed doing these videos. I enjoyed making the tweets and searching for clips to put together to make it coherent. The campaign video was good but making the smear video and "exposing the truth" was really fun. Editing them on Windows Movie Maker was really simple because they're all chopped up clips put together in the most basic fashion.

Ralph's Video Collection - "For Ralph"

I honestly thought I lost this video forever but then I somehow found it in the depths of my extrenal hard drive, hidden beneath the Coldplay music and Batman: Arkham City videos. I'm uploading it here so I would at least have a backup copy of it in my website.

It's a video that my friends made me in my last week in the Philippines. So I think I got this at March 25 and it still makes me shed a few teardrops whenever I watch it and hear my friends voices all over again.

(I actually did something similar for them which made them cry as well. Two can play it that game, classmates!)

A message to all who greeted me on my birthday

It was originally on Tout but the video can't be put here. Odd.

Ralph's Video Collection - Dance, Karen

In December of 2012, my friend Karen and I decided to go to some other Christmas parties because the 3LIT Christmas party at the time was starting late. We went to the journalism Christmas party because that was where Karen shifted from.

And then this happened.

Rambling Reviews - Forward

Non-sense that actually made sense, if that makes any sense. I'm talking about the movie.

Rambles - Ralph's Day Out In Canada

My first vlog in Canada. More to come.

Rambles - Ralph In Taipei

I was bored in a Taipei airport so why not shoot some stuff, right?

Ralph's Video Collection - For 3LIT

This is the music video without the weepy vlog that I produced to thank my friends set to the song "Hurt" sung by Johnny Cash.

Rambles - Guess Who Has His License

No, it's not the puppy.

Rambling Reviews - Relos

Another movie of Sampung Sulyap 2013 gets reviewed by yours truly! This won't end well.

Rambles - I Bought Friends

I spend my last day as a UST student taking this video with my friends.

Rambles - Post-Review Thoughts

It's just me talking about what I had to go through in reviewing TomasinoWeb's short film "16:11"

Rambling Reviews - 16:11

Kissing rosaries! Pretentiousness running wild! A photographer who has his head up in his ass! This movie has got NOTHING for you!

Tweeter - Open Tweet Filter

I explain what I use to filter out tweets on Twitter. Use Open Tweet Filter and it'll help reduce stress.

Tweeter - Following Back

One of the two last videos I shot with my old camera. Basically, I don't like people who I know in real life not follow back on Twitter. I'm petty like that. HAHA!

Ralph's Video Collection - Spooning With Ralphy

Okay, I blatantly copied "Spooning with Spoony". And I apologize to TomasinoWeb for this weirdness.

Also, credit to TNA wrestling for the background music.

Ralph's Video Collection - Harlem Shake Fail

I'm not much into doing meme-related videos but the Harlem Shake is quite a good one if you have a video editor. But I didn't wanna use one so I just left it unedited for everyone to see how I tried and failed to record a good Harlem Shake video in the org room.

Rambles - Much Rambling About Nothing

Just trying to get my rambling skills back.
