Counting LaMBs to Sleep

Saturday, January 31, 2009

Trivia: How many times did I mention the word LaMB(s) in all of my blog posts up to now? Answer and you might get a chance to win my LaMB laminated poster.

a collection of some of my best misadventures with LaMB
http://photobucket.com/memories_of_lamb

It has simply been a magical experience how my fascination with LaMB has touched the lives of many people even those who were total strangers to me, and those that don’t have any idea what cable tv is. I brought myself and other people to a new world, a world were LaMBs exist. Like me, they are now also Laminated. A picture paints a thousand words so just click on the link of the album I put up and thank you, not only to my dog who is reading my post (my dog is my number one fan) but to everyone who help laminate me. I can say that I have not only blogged about LaMB but have lived LaMB.

(Animax Part 7) Reduce, Reuse, Recycle... We Want LaMB

Video 1: Reduce reuse, Recycle... We want LaMB
The best way I can think to save the environment is I join the fight and educate people on how we could make a difference no matter how small. We had an "Amazing Race" rip-off and they must perform task related to saving the environment. The video is the finish line where they have to carry a team-mate and shout an environmentalist slogan and a LamB fanatic slogan. We have achieved our goal to educate and be LAMINATED.

Video 2: Sound Clip 39 LIVE(for LaMB OST)
I performed my original composition for LaMB in front of a live audience, I will let the video speak for itself. My out of tune concert started with the lines "This song is inspired by LaMB the animation on Animax, coming out this 2009... and I dedicate this song to a very special girl in my life"

Question: Lamination is considered a form of recycling by the Central Administration Bureau of Cerra (CABC). If you worked for the CABC, what other policies would you implement to help preserve the environment?

I have already been working to save our environment since I was in elementary, and I have followed 100 ways to save our environment.

Check this site http://www.seql.org/100ways.cfm (100 ways to save the environment)
and please do
watch "An Inconvenient Truth", a documentary film by Al Gore

But the best policy I can create is to EDUCATE people about the hope for our one and only home. I may start small but with people paying it forward I know I could make a difference. I may not be as influential as Al Gore but I know I'm doing my part.

This week has been totally insane for me and the best is yet to come. We are having a festival at our college and my quest to let them know about LaMB and saving the environment continues as 3,000 Information Technology people from different provinces converge in our school.

Global warming is the most serious environmental problem, and maybe the most serious problem of them all, that the world faces in this century. I want to make sure the world that gets passed onto my children and grandchildren is one that I would want to live in. The only way that I think I can ensure that is by getting into the fight, making sure that each of us does what we can do to stop the problem, making sure that our politicians take the measures to assure that we are going to slow global warming, stabilize the atmosphere and again pass on a world to our children and grandchildren that we would want to live in.

(Animax Part 6)Dude! Where's my LaMB?!

Thursday, January 22, 2009

Question: If you were given access to a LaMB, what tasks would you have it perform for you? You will need to refer the LaMB Rules on animax-lamb.com

I am not myself today, I'm feeling so low I could see ants fighting. All I could see are shades of gray. All that is reverberating in my head is the echo of the words "Lost LaMB"

So asking the permission of the gods and goddesses... allow me to rephrase the question so that I may rise from this bottomless pit of despair.

Question: If you had a LaMB and you lost it because your brother wanted to show it to his friends and they all got drunk and slept at the streets, what would you do? You will need to refer to the constitution to understand the extent of physical injuries.
om
I knew I felt the impending doom of my LaMB laminated poster when it was mistaken for an entry for the digital poster design contest. I just left it in my table and my co-employee took it.

Later that night my evil genius brother said he would take my LaMB for a walk with a few of his friends. I am selfish when it comes to my LaMB but he said his friends are itching to meet Eve so I said yes.

The morning I woke him up looking for my LaMB. He couldn’t remember a thing, he was mumbling things about fairies and stars, I didn’t care anymore all I wanted was my LaMB back. My heart pounded so fast our house was vibrating! DUDE, WHERE’S MY LaMB? I took my samurai, summoned my guardian dragon and chased my brother out of the house. DON’T comeback without my LaMB.

Two days and my LaMB was still nowhere to be found.

She must be somewhere out there cold, scared and alone.

My LaMB and I had been in many adventures already since its conception. I am a stupid reckless shepherd.

It was my fault. I knew I should have been a more responsible shepherd. And now I’m on a mission to get a new LaMB. So I am asking the help of all people who are reading this now, help me my heart has been broken, my dreams have been shattered, and my essence taken.
Help me recover from under the rock. I am under a major depressive disorder I need a new LaMB.

My lawyer friend saw me sobbing and reminded me of something he said a few months ago. So so I also ask your help for me to get a new LaMB, for world peace.

A lawyer friend of mine showed me his checks received through PTC, I was skeptic at first but a month later he again showed me his earnings and he bought a new cellular phone.

(A lawyer friend this, a lawyer friend that... I know I must get a more credible example but you know how lawyers have this convincing powers)

(Animax Part 5) Banned LaMB Commercial

Banned LaMB Commercial
Starring: My brother Evil Genius Goryo
Special Effects: My sister Emo Devz
Sound Effects: My mother Mamamia
Cameradude: Main Man Reyman

Question: The story of LaMB takes place on the planet Cerra. Do you believe that life forms exist on other planets?

It is very amusing how things of the unknown always seem to ponder us, boggling us.

A soon to be priest once said to me "Disassemble an analog wristwatch and put it inside a box, what is the probability after you shake it even a million times it would go back to its original form at the same time working?", he was contradicting the big bang theory and the existence of aliens. He wants to point out that there are no freaking aliens in the freaking universe and earth is the only freaking inhabitable planet. I would have agreed with him if I haven’t seen an alien myself.

How many stars are there? A astronomer Chinese monk would answer “a hundred, hundred, a thousand, thousand, a million, million, a billion, billion… you don’t believe me? Try counting them yourselves.” With so many stars there is a high probability that there is a planet with life on it. Even in our solar system there are multicellular species found in another planet.

For non-multicellular beings who have evolved far beyond earthlings they don’t exist anymore because they have destroyed their own planet with their technology.

Question: “Through the eyes of a life form from another planet, aren’t we earthlings the aliens?”

But why look beyond the stars when already have aliens right here on Earth, ladies and gentlemen I am going to expose my secret identity… I am an alien.

I am an extraterrestrial being that came from the planet Kamote Landia I am not one of you, I am different, I am superior, I am abnormal (*Above Normal*).

An online interview with me was recorded and here is how it went:

Have people ever asked “What planet are you from?”
Yes, all the time, and I responed “Planet X”

What is your hair color?
Green, pink, blue, red, orange, its natural

What is your eye color?
I can change it at will

Where were you born?
I’m, not sure, is Mars a planet?

How many languages do you know?
I don’t know, I’m trying t learn so many, trying to find my true language

What are your future goals?
To rule the universe

(Animax Part 4) Marc's Kitchen: Today's Recipe "LaMB Chops"

Sunday, January 18, 2009

(Looks like they're cooking LaMB chops today)

Question: Choose a side are you for or against Lamination?

"In Nature, there is no good or evil, only choices and consequences." - anonymous

what if there is a situation in which the rules and consequences of society are irrelevant, then what is the true nature of man..? good or evil? Will we be then forced to use lamination to turn EVIL to GOOD? UGLY to BEAUTIFUL? or is it that we have always been good that lamination will turn us to evil and us always being beautiful be turned to ugly?

I remembered in our philosphy class in college our closed minded professor asked us "Are you pro or anti death penalty?" (this is the type of question I know would have no answer and his goal is to only stall the time till the bell rings). I raised my hand and said I was PRO death penalty because with that I will be doing good, the end justifies the means, there is no absolute justice and we can go home early because the question is settled... he asked me to step out of the room and go home. Mission success.

(On our next class I said what I really ment was PRO meaning People Rejecting and Opposing)

I always thought the earth was an ugly place to live in (luckily we have CERRA) but as I meet people I slowly but safely peeled my shell and found that no matter how bad a person is humans will always have a good side.

With that "I am FOR Lamination!" (and my professor wont ask me to step out of the room this time)

Going out and spreading the love of LaMB, communicating with people I met for the first time made me realize that humanity with always evolve, it may be hard to understand now but "the future will always be beautiful" and if lamination will be the way to protect everyones smile then I would go FOR lamination. Remember when we were children, our parents would scold us if we did something wrong? We would get mad because we didn't understood the reason back then but all they ever wanted was for us to be a better person and now that we know, we appreciate each spanking and tear for we now are a better person. (If someone would contradict me in my proposition I'd simply say when I say PRO I mean People Rejecting and Opposing)

In animes the hero would always do anything to protect the person that he loves, even the just smile that keeps them alive.

It is fun spreading the love of LaMB around. I had to explain to people with no cable tv what LaMB is, that aside they are mesmerized by EVE's beauty so they definitely like to pose with her.

Everyone is now dragged into my obsession with LaMB even those who have totally nothing to do with LaMB like our school president, my boss and a Laminator. (She will bump into my blog sooner or later because she always visits a dating site)

It is very remarkable that people who I talk to the first time are willing to ride with me in this grand adventure, and those who know me are more than willing to jump in the bandwagon.

Like me they are now prying, they are LAMINATED.

Maybe its for the best, maybe its not for anything. Check out their smiles, would you not want to protect that?

Ronald is more than willing to pose with an unfading smile but fading pants (Trivia: Ronald is laminated, he is a LaMB of a fast food company, and will remain like that for a long time... laminated, I wonder what crime did he commit?)

Magazine centerfold sexy pose

Random people on the street peace sign pose, the other one looked like he put horns to Eve

Caught in the act, working with LaMB

I am AGAINST group poster making contest because it will always be an individual contest and the other members will just smile and take a pose with LaMB

Killer smile

He works under Ronald

He works under the King of chow

(Animax Part 3 1/2) Sound Clip 39 OUR Song for LaMB

Yesterday I laminated 20 ID's for our IT Convention I'm just starting because there will be 2,000 participants in the event (big sweat), Lamination rocks. Do you want me to laminate you?

After the commercial let me go back to my post.

After hearing the noise pollution, i mean the song I composed for LaMB my emo sister and awesome evil brother surprisingly liked it and said that they wanted to be part of the noise or they will forget that we are siblings. The three of us are band members and can play different instruments but that is not the reason I wanted to record the song again but it is because of the thought that they liked it. They added style to the song so here it is... hope you like it the way we enjoyed making it.

The noise maker is now titled "Sound Clip 39", a song made by LaMBs, for LaMBs, by Shepherds, for Shepherds, and for all siblings who are binded by music

(Animax Part 3) Sound Clip 38 my Song for LaMB

Friday, January 16, 2009

Question: If you had to choose a theme song for LaMB, which song would you choose, which band would you have perform it and why?

"When you see the sun set and you feel the urge to sing... sing... oh do sing... because in a moment that sun will disappear, together with your emotion, and that moment will never be repeated ever again even with another sunset tomorrow."

- Marc aka Kamote

It was a Thursday, 1 a.m., I couldn't be visited by sandman again like any day of the week, I was staring at the ceiling looked at my right, saw the LaMB poster (I'm sorry I don't kiss it before sleep... I hug it tight then kiss it haha) then beside the poster I a the guitar. From out of nowhere inspiration strucked, my brain had an overflow of words, of melodies. I took a paper, a pen, held the guitar look at the poster and out came a... MASTERPIECE.

I got so hooked (in fact I'm so crazy over it, if we were still would be using "records" the needle on my record player would be nothing now) with the song I created please give it also a chance and listen as I sing my heart out to LaMB.

So if I were to choose a theme song for LaMB? I would choose (drum roll please)... Sound Clip 38, a song created by a LaMB for a LaMB, for a Shepherd, by a Shepherd. I know i'm out of tune even in my own song, and i was never really a good singer but I know I gave all in this emotional outburst.

Sound Clip 38
by Marc aka Kamote

Stanza 1:
G - F#m - Bm - C
From a million miles away
I found a place we could stay

Coz your always there
BUt never were there

Ref 1:
G - F#m - Bm - C
Your tears can't fall
Your face an emotionless wall

Chorus:
Em - C - G - D
Don't let me go
Wrap me in a dream with you
Laminate me, laminate me
And maybe we could

Am - B - C
Bring a planet to life

G - F#m - Bm - C
with our eternal smile,
with our eternal smile

Stanza 2:
Lamination
Believe in my confession
I'm your lamb
and your my shepherd

Ref 2:
Let's rearrange the stars
and see how beautiful you are

Repeat Chorus

End. Repeat a bazillion times

Imagine Jack singing this song to Eve. Wouldn't that be romantic? The song makes me want to run, jump around and bang my head while swinging my air guitar and making the person I love feel that I want to be laminated by her, my heart become her slave. The melody makes you think of the feeling that the future would always be beautiful with both your smiles. The lines all make you picture LaMB the anime. I don't know... I just like my out-of-tune song, and hope you do too.

Facts about "Sound Clip 38":

1. It written after a LaMB poster was placed beside a guitar.

2. The recording was done only once! No retakes! That's why you could hear hesitant chord strums, hesitant keys, and hesitant lyrics.

3. It's the only song in world about "lamination". It's also the only song in the world with the line "laminate me". (Maybe my everything isn't everything hehe)

4. The title "Sound Clip 38" was taken from the default name given by the recorder.

5. It is probably the only song in the world where thecomposer and singer is out of tune in his very own song.

6. It is the only I sang that I'm not disgusted hearing myself sing, it must be... magic.

7. When I uploaded it to imeem.com, I did not place any tags or words pertaning to anime, the streaming player says "no related songs" but if you press the "play next related song" link, you will be redirected to ELLEGARDEN a top Japanese punk band. Now, isn't that freaking awesome?

ELLEGARDEN could sing English songs clearly unlike many Japanese bands, so if Animax would buy my song (wink, wink) It would be great if they'd play it. Yes friends, Romans, countrymen, the main reason I chose them to play my song is because the are the only band link related to my post in imeem.com

Or the band with the coolest name "Asian Kung Fu Generation" or even "The Straighteners"

BTW Simple Plan and Click Five, you guys rock. I have both music videos of the LaMB ost on my phone, great stuff. And it would also rock if they sang "Sound Clip 38"

(Animax Part 2) I was/am/will be Laminated

Thursday, January 15, 2009

Question: LaMBs cannot speak nor do they have free will. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt you couldn’t speak up or express yourself?

LaMBs cannot speak nor do they have free will.

We are the same as LaMBs. We were all laminated since the day we were born in ways we never imagined, in ways we never thought were possible.

When we were born did we choose who we are? Did we get to choose our nationality? Did we get to choose our very own names that we will be living with for the rest of our Laminated lives?We are all part of a conspiracy, a conspiracy set up by those people who think that the norm should be based on how they perceive the world.

If you go against the norm, you are not part of the world, and in order to be part of the world you must not speak nor must you have free will.

Since I was a kid I always thought of myself as special because I didn’t want to become a victim of their conformity. So what did they do? They molded me in what they thought should be the image of a person in their own liking, such a cruel and selfish act. Lamination wins round 1.

And now I’m a teacher, my Lamination is at its worst for I have become more of a LaMB of the cruel shepherds than ever before. Because they say I have to be a role model... So a conflict arises "If I would be a role model and not be myself, would I be a good role model?".

I don't know how long this lamination will last but I must keep walking forward. All I can do right now is rant about it.

"You have two strong feet to move forward... use them"
- Edward of Full Metal Alchemist

1. I can't sing nor listen to heavy metal music, jrock, punk or any music genre that is not radio friendly (radio friendly meaning THEY must relate to it). Yes I could still play with my band but our music should not exceed the decibel level of 60.

Threshold of hearing.....................0 dB
Outdoors, no people or traffic..........20 dB
Background noise in a library...........40 dB
Ordinary speaking voice.................60 dB
Heavy traffic...........................85 dB
Power lawnmower up close................90 dB
Motorcycle (rider)......................90 dB
Chainsaw...............................100 dB
Rock music at concert..................110 dB
Jet plane takeoff at 100 yards.........120 dB
Our Band's music without restriction.........130dB
Threshold of pain......................140 dB

The members of this nameless band are all college instructors

2. I can't go to work dressed up as my favorite anime characters. WHY? What is wrong with dressing up to work?

Dr. Franken Stein of Soul Eater Cosplay, this is what Jack Griswold would look like if he got crazy because his LaMB got LaMBnapped

(Screenshot taken from Soul Eater anime)

My screw needs tightening

Stein Hakase power charge

Cool DeathScythe pose

Stein versus level one boss, she has the ability to copy your weapons and dance hyperactively

Stein versus last level boss, no weapon could affect him, he can even withstand the heat of mid-day ground

My personal favorite shot

3. I tried to place these shots for our College Yearbook and you know it would be a definite no, so i tried to talk again and they said "Sure we'll put that if you hold a bunny instead of a toy gun". The son of a Death God won't allow such an insult... but bunnies RULE!

And so the Lion Fell in Love with the LaMB

(gif images taken from http://zomgtwilight.livejournal.com/)

Mary had a little LaMB
little LaMB, little LaMB
Mary had a little LaMB
Its fleece was white as snow

And everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
and everywhere that Mary went,
the lamb was sure to go.

I finally understood the meaning of that 100 year old nursery rhyme. There's always this other-worldly feeling---so mysterious and unfathomable---that pervades my whole being every time I see LaMB and everywhere that i WENT, I WENT, I WENT, and everywhere i WENT the LaMB was sure to go. And everyone around me is now Laminated, they are so curious I had to tell as much as I can about LaMB. We even have a private joke in my classes that if a student is naughty I would say "Do you want to be Laminated?" and everyone would go crazy.
