Countdown Begins!

Ah yes...February is here, What comes first in your mind? Do i even need to ask? Valentines is here once again! Well its a good time for those people that are in-love, about to fall in love, and just so crazy in love. Well, I don't have a valentine this year. Becoz i don't want one just yet =P (Yes! Mind your own business hmmmp!!). Im about to venture into something new...i won't tell you what it is, at least not for now. But, i seriously hope it turns out well.

Im probably going to bake at least 2 cakes this month and make some pizza. I think i have a thing for baking, it feels good to beat the dough to a pulp. It's like hitting someone on the face! Only Better! (lol) . Now i understand why some people enjoy baking, its addicting and a worthwhile hobby. It brings happiness to you and to other people (Just as long as its not burned). If you feel like doing nothing, Get some recipe's in the net, Buy an oven....and find someone to clean the mess your about to unleash inside your kitchen >:3

And yes...I hope I'll be able to Buy the continuation to my "Kushiel Series" this month. Its been a while, and I'm really craving for something interesting to read. As you know I'm a voracious reader and i will definitely read anything worth reading.
So see you guys next week.
Till then be safe and God Bless.

Keep the flames Burning...

"Keep the Flames Burning"

Jan 1, 2010 Year of the White Tiger

What can i say? after a night or partying, eating, partying and eating...there is not much to tell. Im sure you had your share of festivities for the month of december, and i hope you had a great time. I know i did :)

Yesterday i managed to bake a cake, and i made a pizza. Not bad for a first timer! The cake turned out just right, and the pizza well...it was as if it was bought from Shakeys *Ohohohohohoh <---self praising laugh*. It was a fun day to experiment, and i enjoyed it a lot. Food has always been a part of any festivities, and New Year is one of those days when people tend to go all out. Open up everything, turn everything to the highest level! Give it everything You've got and celebrate the New Year with a Bang! Oooops, did you do it with a bang? *wink wink*.

So for the Year of the White Tiger, what do we expect? Predictions and the such has always been the tradition of Filipino's. We had been influenced by too many nations and as such we also believe in the Chinese Zodiac for Luck. As for me and those born under the Sign of the Rat and Leo *respectively*. This Year holds a lot of opportunities and probably romance *rawr*. But like i always say, you just do what you think is right, don't get too influenced by horoscopes and predictions on what to do and what to expect. We are after-all different people, born on different circumstances.

It would be nice if this year would be great for all of us, That much i hope.
I look forward in posting a lot this year, i would not let lazyness do the better of me! Yeah~ and you should also work hard. Love your family, enjoy playing with your friends, and most of all...don't forget God. For he will always be there, watching. Smile and he will smile as well, Feel lonely and he will find ways to make you happy, Face your fears and the obstacles he places in front of you, and learn valuable lessons.

Lastly~ Enjoy life, if not Live it to the fullest.

Keep The Flames Burning
Happy New Year Phoenixians!

My God, After all this time i can finally post again! My uber late, nearly Christmas Post.

So how should i start? The last time i posted was February. It has been ages ago, wew! So without further uh....."distractions" i had finally found the time to post again. Enjoy <3

I had done quite a few things and experienced more, learned a lot and matured only just a little (lol). Im not sure how things will go from here, but i guess i'll just do what i do best. Face all the challenges holding a mouse and a keyboard (What? you were expecting somethign else? *lol*). Christmas is almost finally here (again!) yet i can't feel it (aside from the chilly mornings of late). Maybe its because im thinking of too many things at the moment, and had no time to reflect about what should i be doing this Christmas season.

To me when the day hits December, it gets quite fast paced. Thinking of gifts, Reunions, Get Together, FOOD! (definitely), and a lot of other stuffs. Somehow, it doesn't feel like that at the moment. What im feeling right now is, utter confusion. I guess i'm way pass the confused stage.

Like i said, i've been doing a lot of things and thinking a lot more. Which in turn gives me this hollow feeling that i need to do something else. Your getting confused now right? Good, that makes 2 of us *hahaha*.

So anyways, my plans.....first i would like to bake something for christmas. I bought an oven (just a small one) and i plan on making a cake (first time) if i got lazy (which will most likely happen) I'll just make Pizza (plain easy and fast). As for the gifts and my wish, having my family for Christmas and spending the New Year with them is a gift itself. Im blessed because i was born the way i am born (FYI i was not born holding a keyboard and a mouse). I had my share of badtimes, and share of good times. What is important (at least to me) is the ability to still be able to
"Breathe".

Breathing is important (definitely)So guys don't forget to breathe.
Keep the flames burning....
Have a great week everyone!

Very Late New Year Post!! ~___~ Dip'n Chk'n!

I had been very, very busy these past 2 months. Trying to adapt to various things could be quite hard (as a matter of fact). I never thought that it would turn out that and this way (not making sense am I?). Well, i guess *sighs* this year is going to be something indeed (You got that right :3 ).

So without further adou~ Finally its the year of the Ox! Another year has come and gone. I wish for new meetings, new trials, new hardships, new lessons, new friends, new enemies, new happiness, new sadness, Good health to my family and friends, success in my undertakings in life, prosperity and stronger bonds with all the people that are important to me, and most of all i wish for the blessing of our Father in heaven, so that i can pull through and meet 2010 with a smile in my face (naks! meh ganon?!).

So the things on my agenda is learning how to speak and write japanese (thanks to my cousin that is torturing *cough* i mean tutoring me :3 lubs u cousin), At least learn a martial art (Wushu~ i want to learn Wushu~ T_T), Play a musical instrument (errr~ i'll get to that hopefully ~_~; ), and last but not the least, try to become a better person ( ;) syempre naman! ) .

I will do my best, "Dareka no Tame ni". I hope that he would be successfull in his business venture. He deserves to be happy, for he is one of those people that are born kind and generous (sa sobrang bait naiinis na ko sa kanya, inaabuso kasi kabaitan!! O,..,O). I hope that he won't be abused to often by those people around him. Its for this person's sake that i want to help, serve and protect his growth. It will be a very hard road and i will try not to add to his burdens. May this year be a prosperous one for him.

Another thing, since im an addict in mythology, fantasy and anything in that genre. On a whim i read a lot about the Chinese Zodiac (rat, ox, tiger, dragon etc) , and our Zodiac (leo, virgo, capricorn etc). Its quite interesting to read those things (at least for me). Being compatible with, Who you're less compatible with and something like that. Its ok to know these things, but i also tell those around me that "You don't need to believe everything". Out of the billions of people born in this world with the same zodiacs, not all of them posess the traits that they are born under. Giving too much attention, and living your life according to your star is just too much and could not be too healthy. Always remember that you are who you are, and live your life according to how you want it to be (at least if thats not possible, then do your best to live!). You are you, because of those people around you and not because of the star or sign that you are born unto. Having said all of those things, i will keep a look out for people under the sign of the horse, for we are not compatible and are said to be natural enemies (lol!).

And lastly let me leave you a poem I wrote not too long ago.

"The answer to Everything"
by: StriderMaster

If there would be a meaning to everything,
then no one would be lost for words.
But you see~

There are things that doesn't mean anything,
but still holds everything.

If i can do something worth anything,
I'll be sure to give my everything.

So don't bother to read and understand everything,
Coz you won't know anything.

Sharing my thoughts to you~ see you again.
Have a great week everyone.

In Pursuit of Happiness.

After Level Up LIve 2008, me and some of my friends went to our friend's house and party'd all night. Its nice to have this "get-togethers" every once in a while, seeing new faces, meeting old friends and just practically having a good time. Of course, a party is not complete without videoke (at least our type of party xD!) as usual, i tried my best to sing but ( >_< its crap) i don't have any talent for it. However, it was quite fun to sing as a group. It was crazy, and everyone really enjoyed it (at least our group, the others were just drinking, eating, playing the PS, Wii, Etc etc). O,..,O Well i guess our next EB (EyeBall, meeting) would be sometime around December.

Speaking of December, i could already hear Christmas carols on the radio. Time really does fly by, Next thing you know....its your birthday again =) . Well i decided to practice singing at least once in a while, it doesn't hurt to try ( yeah...my highest score was 72! but seriously i think the mic was busted, everyone gets at least 85+ and im the only one that gets such a low score *sighs* ). Yes, before this month ends im planning to buy Kushiel's Chosen ( I just hope that Powerbooks and National has it already) I've been waiting for a month now. Aside from working on a few stuff/part time and practically going to start working soon, im just enjoying my last few days doing stuff that i haven't done for quite some time (like singing).

Everyone should once in a while take it easy and have fun, all work and no play leaves nothing but a stressed out body. Smile more often too, it helps a lot. If you have a pet, take it for a walk or just cuddle it and pet it all day long o_o" well maybe not all day long, but you get what i mean right?

I just Finished watching all the Pokemon movies and finished reading all the manga's in my list.
Reading Kushiel's series and completing all of them is my next agenda.

Well then, I guess thats it for today. I think i'll try to learn how to swim next :3
Have a great Week guys ;) and don't forget to pay your respects to our deceased relatives.
Remember the times when they were still with us, and cherish them for they can never be replaced.

"There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy."

Keep the fires burning...

Its all about Manga :3

Not Mangga/Manga (Pinoy word for Mango ~_~), but Manga (A japanese term that means "comic").

There are generally 2 types of Manga, Shoujo and Shounen.
Shoujo targets girl readers while Shounen targets male readers. Basically Shoujo focuses on romance and other things that is often called mushy ( >_> i like mushy stuff too...), Shounen are more on action or fighting ontheir storyline (Pif typical for guys xD! Mga pare, ok lng ba kayo dyan? :3 ). Knowing all this i still get confused on the types of Manga that i usually read. I started to read manga about hmmm...8-9 Months ago, since then i can't stop :3

I really got hooked, Manga titles? hmmm Naruto, Happy WOrld, Ouran High,Fairy Tail, Mahoraba,Watashi no Messiah Sama,Prince of Tennis, Mahou Sensei Negima (:3 what are u looking at?), The World GOd Only Knows, Mx0 (My all time fave) and a lot more~ a whole lot more.
I also read a lot of books (not manga) novels and the usual stories at least once a week. I make it a point to buy 1 book a week. Mystery, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance? (not my cup of tea) >_>, horror? (i lost track of counting all the dissapointing books out there that are called horror stories. >_< i have not read a book that even comes close to scaring me).

I finished this book a few days ago "Kushiel's Dart" and it has a sequel :3 "Kushiel's Chosen" which i will get sometime on September (Ipon muna unti xD!). I really enjoy reading, may it be books or manga ( Fu fu fu fu) So going back, Manga is one of my fave past time when i finish reading a book. My favorite manga site is www.onemanga.com

Before, i was even sarcastic about reading it, i started reading it from left to right (like comics, or the way usual people do). However, more often than not (as in always) you have to read it from right to left ( <----You start on the right then go left. ) You'll get used to it in time ~_~" because if you insist on reading it from left to right well then....(lolz Goodluck).

Indeed, to me it proved to be quite entertaining and its become a habit to read manga whenever i have free time. Sure, i still watch anime every now and then (Especially the Anime's that i read on Manga). But since im a bookworm :3 i prefer reading than watching. To those that haven't tried to read manga in their whole lives...i suggest you try it :3 Maybe, just maybe...You'll find a good story that will make you smile,fall in love, cry, or even get irritated.

Sharing my thoughts, from me to you :3
Have a great week everyone ^_^
