Hope you liked it :) If you have comments, suggestions, violent reactions (Lol) regarding my project feel free to comment in this post.

Chance to Change

2009-09-23T03:30:00.000-07:00

Hello. It's raining here. I have a bad news today. (Sigh). I ranked 22nd in our class. It made me feel a little bit disappointed and it made me realize how things change. I just knew better how hard life is. I'm not blaming anyone for what happened to me. I know what my weaknesses and limitations are. It just so happened that I became so weak that I am tempted by someone or something. At least now I know what happens every time I made wrong decisions in life. I know I can't go back in time and change every bad things that happened to me. But I believe that I can still change what will happen in the future. I still have a chance to change. And I should accept my mistakes and learn from them. I can't waste the chance. Whew. Too much drama. There's more to life than any bitterness and lies :)

Anyway, I just want to share you that I had taken the entrance exam in one of the most prestigious schools in our country, Ateneo de Manila University. It's quite easier compare to the exam in University of the Philippines. It was really a great experience to have an exam in that school :) I mean, every Filipino student is dreaming to step in a grass of Ateneo. Many famous actors and actresses have graduated in that school. Well, I wish I could study there.

Before I end this post, I want to share updates regarding Facebook Games that I play. Lol. So, here they are:

CICM Search-in

2009-09-06T03:57:00.000-07:00

Last Thursday, CICM Missionaries came to our school for a search-in. Our class had a simple vocational talk then the missionaries encouraged all boys in our class to join the seminary. They gave us form to fill up asking if we're interested. Only four are brave enough to join. And I'm one of them. They gave us a brochure. This post's purpose is for all people around the world to know what CICM is :)

Congregatio
Immaculati
Cords
Mariae

Where...
the Gospel values
are not lived...
the marginalized
are abandoned...
the culture is not
respected...
justice is not
promoted...
the CICM
dares to go...

What is CICM?
In english, it stands for the CONGREGATION OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY (CICM). It is an international religious missionary congregation dedicated to the Incarnate Word.

Their Mission
In frontier situations, the CICM missionaries serve the local churches through Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation, Interreligious Dialogue, Education and Formation of the Youth, Indigenous People work and other ways of witnessing to the Good News of the Kingdom in the world today.

Who are the CICMs?
The members of the CICM missionaries are priests and brothers of different nationalities. As religious missionaries, they consider it their charism and vocation to live with a multicultural identity.

Our Presence
CICM missionaries are now stationed in Hongkong, Japan, Taiwan, Mongolia, the Philippines, Indonesia, East Timor, D.R. Congo, Cameroon, Senegal, Dominican Republic, Zambia, South Africa, Guatemala, Haiti, Brazil, Belgium, Netherlands, USA, France, Mexico, Rome & Italy.

The Beginning
In 1862, a group of Belgian diocesan priests led by Theopile Verbist wanted to help the orphans in China. The Founding Fathers never imagined that many would follow their footsteps not withstanding the cost of traveling by sea and in the hinterlands of China in the second half of eighteen hundreds. A congregation was born not knowing exactly what lies ahead. Their only assurance was their missionary zeal and God's providence.

That's all for now. I shall post something about the happenings during our retreat some other day. Thank you for reading.

I Have A Dream

2009-08-30T19:15:00.000-07:00

Good morning. Tomorrow is our Examination. So, I can't stay too long in front of computer. Expect this post to be short :)

I had a dream last night. In my dream, my school was attacked by some terrorists. We can't get out of the school because it's already surrounded by the terrorists. My two friends and I kept on running from place to place. We were hiding from the terrorists. Then, unfortunately we got caught by one of the terrorists. We ran as fast as we can but the terrorists are so many that they are scattered all over our school. We don't know where else to go. Suddenly, one of my classmates was shot by the terrorist. "Run!" he shouted. So me and my other classmate ran and went to a hidden place. What we don't know is that there are some terrorists there. We saw a motorcycle and we used it to escape from the terrorists. My classmate drove the bike and we have safely escaped from the terrorists.

Sounds weird. Does anyone knows what my dream means? Please comment your interpretations :) Thank You. That's all for today. I have to review my lessons now.

Facebook Applications

2009-08-29T20:02:00.000-07:00

This morning, after having hot chocolate and biscuits, I turned my computer on and played some of Facebook's addicting applications.

I played my favorite game first -Restaurant City :). This game is so addicting that I can't even go to sleep because I want to level up. This game is a strategy game. You can have your Facebook friends as your employees -either chef, waiter or cleaner. You may also want to have your own character as your employee. The goal here is to satisfy your customers with your full service and delectable dish. You can gain levels by serving, picking up trash, buying items and giving gifts to your fellow restaurant city player. I'm already level 28 in here and I'm currently playing :)
Farmville is one of my favorites also. I experienced how to be a farmer effortlessly. Just like in real life farms, this game has barns, cows, chickens, pigs, goats, horses, trees, and many more. In real life, crops can be harvested after a few weeks or months but in Farmville, crops can be harvested within hours. Same as in real life, you earn money by selling your crops to the market, getting dairy products from farm animals and selling fruits from trees. This game is really entertaining. You gain levels by plowing, planting, buying anything from the market and visiting or helping your farmville friends. I am already level 26 in here and I am loving my farm layout :) Next is Pet Society. Pet Society is a modern "Tamagotchi". You have your pet as your character and you have to take good care of it. You have to feed it, give it a bath, and make it happy. This is the first application I have played on facebook. I love this game because of its cute graphics and amusing features. You have your friends as your neighbors and you can visit their houses and mingle with them. You can gain levels by visiting your friends, buying items, giving gifts to friends and winning races :) I love to race here. It's funny when pets bump at the hurdles, they are so cute! You can decorate your pet's house by buying furniture and gadgets from the market. I am already level 26 in here and I'm still thinking of how to make my house more attractive. The last Facebook application I played was the Country Story. This is the latest application I played. I just started playing 2 weeks ago. I love this game because of it's adorable and cute graphics. I love role playing games. And this game is exactly what I was looking for. It's like Farmville and Pet Society combined. But it has more features and it is more endearing than farmville and Pet Society. You gain levels by planting, digging plots, watering plants, giving gifts to friends, stealing other's plants (Lol) and buying items. I am already level 9 and I have a chick now :) I really love this game.

There are other applications that I have not made mentions like Typing Maniac, the very famous Friends For Sale, Farm Town, Barn Buddy and many more. I didn't mention them because I am not interested that much to those applications compare to the four applications I have mentioned.

Sorry for grammatical errors. I'm on a process of practicing English xD

Revitalization

2009-08-29T06:57:00.000-07:00

This is my first official post in my new blog :) Actually this is not a new one. I created this blog last year, and unfortunately I forgot my Blogger account's password. So, I created a new one and considered it as my real and official blog. He-he. I posted various posts there. But as time goes by I got this feeling of being lazy. Aside from that, I was too busy in my studies. Many people insulted that blog of mine. Actually, not too many, just my classmates and friends. Lol. I consider that blog dead. I won't give you the link of it because I don't think you'll understand my posts there. Lol. And I want my identity to be secret :)

Anyway, I decided to go back to my "blogger life" (even though I have a very hectic schedule and I'm not good in English) because I miss sharing my thoughts and experiences to everyone. Also, my auntie wanted me to practice English. Good thing I remember the password of my account in here. Lol. Honestly, I hate memorization. It's my weakness. You can ask me anything about numbers and shapes but never ask me about history. I don't know why a lot of people think that mathematics is hard when all my life I consider it the easiest one. Hmm. Anyway, Last week we had our National Career Assesment Examination. And luckily, I was able to answer all the questions. I was traumatized when I took my Entrance Examination on one of the prestigious schools in our country. That was my first time and I have no idea what it was like to have an Entrance Examination. I thought it was just like having a test in school. But it was completely different. The Entrance Examination was extremely hard not only because of the fact that the quiz covers from our first year topics up to fourth year topics but also because of the TIME PRESSURE. Sigh.

Last week also, I went to a dental clinic with my mom for my first teeth-cleaning and pasta. It took an hour. After that we went to a near fruitshake stand. I ordered an apple-mango combo shake. Then, my mom bought something for lunch. After that we went home.

That's all for now. I have to sleep because it's already 11 in the evening here. So, see you next time guys. Hope I won't get lazy anymore :)

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

2009-03-16T04:35:00.000-07:00

Code Geass

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion is an anime television series created by Sunrise. Directed by Gorō Taniguchi and written by Ichirō Ōkouchi, both of whom had earlier worked on the series Planetes, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion features original character designs by Clamp.

The first season of the series premiered across Japan on MBS from October 5, 2006, and concluded its run on July 28, 2007, after running for 25 episodes. A second season and sequel to the series, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 (コードギアス反逆のルルーシュR2 ,Kōdo Giasu Hangyaku no Rurūshu Āru Tsū?), premiered on MBS and TBS on April 6, 2008 and concluded on September 28, 2008. Both seasons have won several awards at the Tokyo International Anime Fair, Animage Anime Grand Prix, and Animation Kobe event.

Both seasons of Code Geass have been licensed for release in the United States and Canada by Bandai Entertainment, and the first season began airing on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block in the U.S. on April 27, 2008; the second began airing on November 2, immediately following the first season. In Australia and New Zealand, the series is licensed by Madman Entertainment, and began airing on Australian channel ABC2 from January 19, 2009.

On August 10, 2010, a.t.b., the Holy Empire of Britannia overpowered Japanese forces and conquered the country with their new, powerful, robotic weapons, the Knightmare Frames, in less than a month. In the aftermath of Britannia's invasion, Japan lost its freedom, its rights, and even its name, becoming Area 11 of the Britannian Empire. The Japanese people, renamed as "Elevens", are forced to survive in poor neighborhoods, while Britannians live in first-class settlements. Rebel elements persist, however, as pockets of Japanese organizations struggle against the Empire for the independence of Japan.

After his father, the Emperor of Britannia, failed to prevent the assassination of his mother, an attack which also left his sister blind and crippled, the young prince Lelouch vowed to destroy Britannia. Seven years later, he accidentally becomes mixed up with "terrorists" in Area 11 and encounters a mysterious girl named C.C., who gives him the power of Geass. With it, he finally has the power that he needs to defeat Britannia and fulfill his two wishes: to seek revenge for his mother and to construct a world in which his beloved sister Nunnally can live happily.

Lelouch Lamperouge
The title character and protagonist of the show, Lelouch Lamperouge is seemingly an ordinary 17-year-old student at the Ashford Academy. In reality, he is the son of the Emperor of Britannia and the late Empress Marianne. His real name is Lelouch vi Britannia, the Eleventh Prince of the Britannian Empire prior to his mother's assassination. When he gets caught up in a battle between the military and Japanese rebels, he gains the power of Geass, which forces others to obey his orders without question. With this power, he begins his quest to destroy Britannia under the alias of Zero.

Suzaku Kururugi
Lelouch's childhood friend and son of Japan's last prime minister, Suzaku is in the service of the Britannia Army as a soldier, and was chosen to test an experimental new model of Knightmare Frame, the Lancelot. Suzaku believes achieving results by wrong or illegal methods is meaningless and does not approve of Zero's actions.

C.C.
A mysterious green-haired girl who bestows the power of Geass upon Lelouch under the condition that he grant her greatest wish. C.C.'s abilities caught the interest of Britannia and she was imprisoned as a part of Britannia's experiments in the past. She passively oversees Lelouch's missions to ensure that he does not die and to help his plans succeed.

Nunnally Lamperouge
Nunnally is Lelouch's younger sister, who is wheelchair-bound due to bullet wounds on her legs, as well as blind due to psychological trauma from witnessing the brutal assassination of her mother. Her blindness is later found to be afflicted by her Father, Charles using his Geass of memory manipulation. In the end, she countered the Geass and has been able to see, but her muscles have wasted away after seven years of being unused, thus, losing her ability to walk upright again.

Kallen Stadtfeld
Kallen is a Britannian-Japanese girl who believes herself to be a Japanese person at heart and prefers to be known by her birth name, Kallen Kōzuki. Her father is Britannian and her mother is an Eleven; her father comes from a prestigious Britannian family and as such she attends the Ashford Academy, where she is a member of its student council and is one of its most outstanding students. Though she maintains a frail-girl image at school, she is a member of a Japanese resistance cell.
