How to kill the giant in the arena?

Find the ledge, press triangle, when it flashes press square. Don't stop pressing square (do not press repeatedly, just one press) till the next slow-mo comes up again. When it flashes again press square. Repeat for the last blow for the eye. Find another ledge and repeat it. Hope this helps. =]

I haven't been blogging lately. UPDATES PLEASE!
I got my new Nikon D40. It takes great pictures. I am out of the cam whore world. Please call me, "The Photographer". (NAKS!)

We went to Kalinga last week. Two words for you guys. Especially Filipinos, "GO THERE!!!". Great view. Best food. Really, really nice people and really really far. It took us almost 19 hours to get to the province. But it was worth it. more pictures on my multiply.


Sadly, I am 21. Good news is, I am 21! What? Stop confusing the readers. I'm legal to drink in the States! whoopee me!!! David gave me a bunch of roses for my birthday. smirks. I also wanted to thank my mom for giving me a wonderful brunch that day, courtesy of Yellow Cab. Thank you guys for texting and calling me nonstop that day. Thank you Lord for the great birthday you gave me.

Keep it all in, that's what It said. The Lord said I must submit. He is always right. I thought I knew what I wanted. I am so pissed on how fast the world change. I can't keep up.

Be strong.

Jack took a long look at his speedometer before slowing down: 73 in a
55 zone. Fourth time in as many months. How could a guy get caught so
often?
When his car had slowed to 10 miles an hour, Jack pulled over, but
only partially. Let the cop worry about the potential traffic hazard.
Maybe some other car will tweak his backside with a mirror. The cop
was stepping out of his car, the big pad in hand.
Bob? Bob from Church? Jack sunk farther into his trench coat. This
was worse than the coming ticket. A cop catching a guy from his own
church. A guy who happened to be a little eager to get home after a
long day at the off ice. A guy he was about to play golf with tomorrow.
Jumping out of the car, he approached a man he saw every Sunday, a
man he'd never seen in uniform. "Hi, Bob. Fancy meeting you like
this."
"Hello, Jack." No smile.
"Guess you caught me red-handed in a rush to see my wife and kids."
"Yeah, I guess." Bob seemed uncertain. Good.
"I've seen some long days at the office lately. I'm afraid I bent the
rules a bit -just this once." Jack toed at a pebble on the
pavement. "Diane said
something about roast beef and potatoes tonight. Know what I mean?"
"I know what you mean. I also know that you have a reputation in our
precinct." Ouch. This was not going in the right direction. Time to
change tactics.
"What'd you clock me at?"
"Seventy. Would you sit back in your car please?"
"Now wait a minute here, Bob. I checked as soon as I saw you. I was
barely nudging 65." The lie seemed to come easie r with every ticket.
"Please, Jack, in the car."
Flustered, Jack hunched himself through the still-open door. Slamming
it shut, he stared at the dashboard. He was in no rush to open the
window. The minutes ticked by. Bob scribbled away on the pad. Why
hadn't he asked for a driver's license?
Whatever the reason, it would be a month of Sundays before Jack ever
sat near this cop again. A tap on the door jerked his head to the
left. There was Bob, a folded paper in hand. Jack rolled down the
window a mere two inches, just enough room for Bob to pass him the
slip.
"Thanks." Jack could not quite keep the sneer out of his voice.
Bob returned to his police car without a word. Jack watched his
retreat in the mirror. Jack unfolded the sheet of paper. How much was
this one going to cost? Wait a minute. What was this? Some kind of
joke? Certainly not a ticket. Jack began to read:
"Dear Jack,
Once upon a t ime I had a daughter. She was six when killed by a car.
You guessed it -- a speeding driver. A fine and three months in jail,
and the man was free. Free to hug his daughters. All three of them.
I only had one, and I'm going to have to wait until Heaven before I
can ever hug her again. A thousand times I've tried to forgive that
man.
A thousand times I thought I had. Maybe I did, but I need to do it
again.
Even now. Pray for me. And be careful, Jack, my son is all I have
left."
- Bob


from Ms. Irish D.'s blog

I am nice. That's new. I am not nice (haha). I took some tests from my cousin's site (mufflednoise.com) . NERD tests V.02





I also took the left-brain, right brain test.


Tell me what you see.Is she spinning clockwise or counter clockwise?According to the Herald Sun, if you see her spinning clockwise, you use more of your right-brain than your left-brain, and vice-versa.
Left brain: uses logic, detail oriented, facts rule, etc. Right brain: uses feeling, "big picture" oriented, imagination rules, etc. Here's the weird thing, at first I saw her spinning counter clockwise. I looked at her foot closely then she turned clockwise. David saw this too. He saw clockwise while I saw her spinning the other way. Weird huh?

Every once in a while, we are entitled to a day of meltdown. I think once a year is a good way to de-stress your crazy life. Not neccessarilly unwind, but let your heart out and cry. I had that day. It was Saturday. And as may I say, it was chaotic and shameful (haha). It started Friday night, you know the feeling before you get your period and you get all moody and stuff. And when men think you're crazy because you're crying for no reason. I think that was it.

I remembered one of the episode in SCRUBS when one of the doctors (Dr. Cox) had one of those days, And JD (the lead) didn't knew it. Every staff of the hospital knew he was gonna destroy stuffs at the hospital and at the end of the day, he was gonna bring a buddy to a bar and drink until morning. So the next day, JD thought he had Dr. Cox approval, but he was back to his old self and he still calls him (JD) girl's names (Lmao). I had that day. It was a day of leave me alone if you please and I don't want to go anywhere kind of day. But my mom didn't left me alone. She brought me to church for a support group. I am always in the mood for church but not that Saturday. I was in no mood to talk or anything. I thought at first I can handle NOT crying and then BOOM! Tears fell. Strangers would think that I am a lunatic. haha, I am. Well that was a Crazy day.

On the side of the dorkiness, for days I have been searching for a video converter online. Thank God! I found an online converter. Yay! I've downloaded the old firefox and unplugged the video on my youtube. Since it was an FLV file, I couldn't edit it in movie maker. So I was obligated to download a converter. There are many great converters out there but not free. When I was about to lose hope. There it was on a forum. No need to download those useless converters. The website directly sends the url of the video so I can download it. Woohoo!!! Thanks to Zamzar.com, no registration, less hassle.

It's four in the morning and I'm adding one last final touch for the video. I wanted to put a quote on the last part but when I used the search engine, nothing came out good. And then I saw the footprints in the sand. It was perfect. It was really creepy when it was only quotes and no music, So I decided to put music and the new song by Leona Lewis. I will edit it. Then sleep finally. ^_^

I ate a choco mucho last night, after the first bite, I knew it, I'm gonna be sick the next day. It sucks. I slept all day and I was moody. Sniff* I want sleep. Again.

I finally bought a mouse. Yes, pathetic isn't it? After 6 months of busy schedule, I finally *pimped* my laptop. I bought a mouse and a bluetooth thingy. I got so used to the touch pad that I didn't bother to buy a mouse.

Aside from the gadget shopping, we also went shopping for new clothes. I found a jacket (oh yeah!). David bought a shirt. His feet was so sore from walking.

Anyways, I finally edited the video I made for Uncle AKA stepdad.

One more thing, this blog was made like two days ago. My internet connection was disconnected because i haven't paid my bills. Thank God I'm back in the cyberworld.

It's 4 in the morning, apparently I'm still nocturnal. These past few days, I can see the response on my blog, and it seems that my blog is not viewer friendly. The comment link is missing, I know, you don't have to tell me. People, if you're gonna make a comment, please click the title. You can add comment anonymously. I will soon update this blog. I'll make it more viewer friendly. :]

Aside from finding new templates for this blog, I've been updating my laptop. I've done the disc clean up, updating some programs, defragging (is that correct?) it and Configuring some files (Getting ready for future reformat... hehe:]). Sorry if I haven't replied to you guys in Ym and Friendster. Busy bee lately.

About three nights ago, David was watching some DVD that had like 30 movies in it. So after a few minutes, he fell asleep. Dum*dee*dum* The remote is missing, I don't want wake him up so I got up and push the next button for like 15 times till I found a great movie. I've watched that movie before, I think the title was "9-11". But it was different this time. So the next day, I got so obsessed about 9-11 that I watched everything I could watch at youtube. Right now, I'm watching the National Geographic documentary about the 9-11 Inside War. I'll write about that on my next blog:].

Back then, I knew the planes crashed, Osama Bin Laden, Ground Zero. I didn't get what was really happening. It was bone chilling when I caught the video of the second plane crashing. It was like it just happened yesterday. I listened to the phone calls and it a heartbreak. *sigh*

Anyways. Good Morning to me. I need sleep. :]

Yesterday was father's day. I remembered Uncle AKA my step dad. I wanted to visit him, but my mom, without any proper vehicle wouldn't go anywhere that far. We need a car. He asked David if he can drive, he said "yeah". Mom said we should fix our driving license. I have 3 expired student license. Why? Because I was too lazy to apply for a non-pro (funny eh?). I can drive stick and automatic. David drives only automatic. I think when you apply for a non-pro, you use stick. Too bad honey. (Hehe)

Yesterday was also Hailie's first Sunday school. Lucky for her, there was a kid who celebrated his birthday. She got free food, I shall name her the ultimate buraot, because she loves eating free stuff. It's really amusing to see Hailie play with other kids. I almost got teary eyed when she danced and sang with other kids. I just can't believe it. A few years back, she got these little hands and only her eyes were moving (LOL). Now look at her, she's almost like a grown up.

David said that Pastor Tanchi gave an awesome message for the service yesterday. I wish I could've watch it. I was at the Sunday school, watching Hailie.

We ate lunch at Italiannis. It was a buffet (yay us!). We kept on coming back for the yummy pizza. Hailie ate brownies and ice cream and I loved the panacotta.

I didn't greet my dad yesterday, not because I hate him or something like that. I didn't have time to go to his clinic and I didn't have his number on my phone. I will try to visit him this week.

Anyways, It was a great day for the dads all over the world. ( I think?)

To the king of the grills, to the official driver of the family, to the handy man of the house. HAPPY DAD'S DAY! We heart you.
