The technician who was fixing our computer decided to install a game called World in Conflict which was just a newly – developed game. This game won several awards like best in graphics and story line. What I like about this game is its story.
The game was about the soviet’s siege on the eagle which was the United States of America. Because of a long time of peace and the absence of war between cities and countries, everyone rested assured that no more wars would take place and that peace was obtained among nations and one of the fully rested countries was U.S.A. Despite the long piece, America was caught off guard when the soviets (Russians) started an ambush siege on it which caused too much havoc. And no one was left to defend America because all of its soldiers were overseas trying to start peace in other countries specially the Middle East. Only the National Guard was left to defend the country but it was too big to miss that the National Guard may not be able to defend America of its Liberty. The whole story will go around the siege and the defense of the National Guard against the soviets.
The story of this game shows the classic idea of being too much assured that you forget that there may still be threats still lurks and that no one should be rest assured about anything and that no bad deed goes unpunished.

Canon of Life
February 20, 2010
Life may seem simple for others but if you look deeply into it, there are so much rules that govern it to the extent that our mind might explode upon knowing about all of those. But it may be impossible for one to know all. There is only Him who knows it and governs it and we are those governed by that rule that we are inclined to follow and to never disobey.
One of the best canons in life is about being ready for all the consequences that face every action we do. Like what the Third Law of Motion states, “For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction”. Even if this law was designed to govern all bodies in motion, it unintentionally became one of the rules that governed life. Life as we know has chain reactions in which after we do one thing, hundreds of reactions may take place after it.
Another golden rule is that we should never blame anyone for what we undergo in life. Because what we are now is a reaction to what we’ve done before and there is no other person to blame but the man you see in the mirror facing you and mimicking all the things that you do. So one should be ready to face all the consequences that one’s action has made for him to endure.
While there’s still time, there is still room for change and it is the change for the best. And with God by our side, we could do anything as long as it is for His name and to glorify Him.

Memento for my Valentine
February 13, 2010
It has been years and years when our pre-school teacher taught us about the occasion on the 14th of February. We were entwined with it as the day for lovers to celebrate a day with each other. As years passed again, we were left with the idea that it was not only the day for lovers as in teen lovers but also a day when we spend time with all of those that we love like our parents and our friends. Later on, we learned in our history class that it was the day given for the god of love of the ancient Greeks. Still, that day, Valentine’s Day was nothing of importance for me because I really haven’t experience anything different when it’s Feb. 14. It’s just like a simple day which quickly passes by with nothing special happening.
But this year was different. Like in the novel, “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time”, it was like I saw five red cars in a row because I had a Super Good Day! And as Christopher Boone describes it, “something good will surely happen and not just anything but also something special”. And surely, something special really happened and I really had so much fun. And it felt to be one of my best days. To put it up shortly, it was because of the “pillow”.
That pillow would be with me at times that I need something comforting like a friend who would always be there and never leave you at all times like our dear Father, God.

Something Bizarre
February 6, 2010
Sometimes, after you’ve got used to having bad things happening to you, you quite miss them after their gone. That’s true for some of us right? It is in our nature to miss things that we are used to doing. But the bad part is we miss them even if they were bad things that happened but still they’re really missing, right?
Some things are better off gone, that’s what others say and it’s quite true. But those that should we hardly wish to stay with us and we carefully prevent from disappearing are those that we are separated from. And the big question arises after those we “cared for” vanishes, are they really better off gone? Some people say that we as who we are know what’s better for our self but the truth is, we really can’t tell the genuine right from the genuine left. The reason behind this is that we just base our standards for right or wrong on our own judgement that’s why we do it because we think that it was the right thing to do.
But the world is constantly changing. It has been changing for billions of years and will continue to do so. And us, humans as its inhabitants will continually change with it until our expiry comes. And together with this continuous change, we continuously look for the truth and the right way of telling the right from the wrong. And that search will just be one of the bizarre things in our world that will be in the list of man’s unsolved mysteries.
