how to install LOVE??

cristina — Thu, 07 May 2009 10:26:23 +0000

Tech Support: Hello … how can I help you?

Customer: Well, after much consideration, I’ve decided to install Love. Can you guide me through the process?

Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

Customer: Well, I’m not very technical, but I think I’m ready. What do I do first?

Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you
located your Heart?

Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is it okay to install Love while they are running?

Tech Support: What programs are running ?

Customer: Let’s see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now.

Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off ?

Customer: I don’t know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.

Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?

Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.

Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, “Error – Program not run on external components.” What should I do?

Tech Support: Don’t worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.

Customer: So, what should I do?

Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.

Customer: Okay, done.

Tech Support: Now, copy them to the “My Heart” directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely
gone and never comes back.

Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?

Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in
turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.

Customer: Thank you, God.

Para sa mga ADIK sa Left4Dead.. mga Infected Characters

cristina — Mon, 04 May 2009 13:03:58 +0000

The Boomer –
The Boomer is an obese methane-filled boss infected covered with boils whose main form of attack is projectile vomit, but also explodes when shot.
The Boomer’s vomit is released in one large attack, and in the right circumstances can hit more than one target. The vomit obscures the vision of its victims, and also acts as a pheromone to both existing infected, and causes more to be spawned and attack the victims. This attack has a cooldown.

Huge and obese infected that vomits like a fire hose. Can be shot while strafing. When it hits a survivor with its vomit, the vomit acts as a pheromone to the AI controlled normal infected and causes them to focus their attack on that player. The Boomer gets points for all attacks against the target by infected. Moves slowly. Also, when killed, the Boomer does as his name says and explodes, causing all nearby Survivors to become puked on.

The Hunter –

Since the Hunter is the only boss that can have two spawned in at once, he’s the one you’ll be playing most often, and I think most will be happy about that. His primary attack is a short distance lunge. Charge this attack by crouching, however, and you can fly large distances to land on top of a Survivor and rip him to shreds.

The Hunter is, without a doubt, the most skill-based Infected. Not only do you need to know when and where to strike, but you also need to be able to judge the distance and accuracy of your pounce. Toss in his ability to time jumps from wall to wall, and you’ll find a lot of creative attacks that require timing and practice to get right. The player is even rewarded for long pounces by doing additional damage on impact based on the distance, which is only available in Versus mode.
The Hunter can fill several roles on the team. By jumping around and screaming, the Hunter can cause distractions for the other Infected. Pouncing on a Survivor may buy enough time for one of your teammates to attack. If you can manage long-range pounces, the Hunter is great for dealing out damage to a fast-reacting team. And while all the bosses are great at picking off lone Survivors, the Hunter is the best, as he is the hardest boss to counter on your own. His main weakness, however, is that he is forced to be in the middle of the action. Jumping into a group of four Survivors can be suicide.
The most agile boss infected, able to climb walls and jump far. Attacks by knocking down a survivor and slashing. The only way for the survivor to escape is either by a teammate helping (killing the Hunter) or the Hunter deciding to retreat. Similar to the fast zombies from HL2 Ravenholm rooftops. Wall jumping is possible.

The Smoker –

The Smoker is an average sized boss infected covered in growths and boils and has a fifty foot long tongue as its primary weapon. He also releases clouds of smoke.
The Smoker’s tongue is fired at the head of a Survivor and wraps around their neck. The Smoker can choke its victim from above by hanging them from its tongue. A choking Survivor is unable to move or attack until another Survivor rescues them. During its tongue attack, the Smoker is helpless, even if it misses. This attack has a cooldown.

The Smoker has a 40-50ft tongue that can be used to drag/trip players and even choke them from above. Survivors are able to shoot this tongue off to protect one another. When the Smoker dies, it deploys smoke which severely reduces the visibility of the survivors, thereby hindering their ability to see enemies and survive.

The Tank –
The Tank is a giant beast with an abnormally muscular upper body who relies on his health and strength to pummel the Survivors and lob debris. It is only playable several times throughout a campaign, as this boss is considerably more powerful than the other infected.
The Tank uses its speed and large amount of health to close the distance and slam the Survivors with its massive fists, knocking them back and doing a lot of damage. If the Survivor is knocked down, the Tank can bash the Survivor until they are dead.

The Tank can smash cars to send them flying towards the Survivors. If there is no car around, the Tank will rip a chunk of earth from the ground and toss it.

A huge, muscular infected with amazing strength. Can pick up and throw cars and other large environmental items, smash through concrete walls. Players cannot choose to be the Tank; infected players are randomly chosen to spawn as one. Very loud. When you spawn as the Tank, a frustration meter begins building up for every moment you’re not in the presence of Survivors. If this meter fills all the way up, you lose control of the Tank.

The Witch –
The Witch is a unique boss infected that is only controllable by the AI, the player may not control it.

The Witch will not move until she has become aware of the Survivors. Until this time, she will lay on the ground, moaning. It is possible for the Survivors to sneak by without alerting the Witch, if they move slowly and quietly.
If the Witch is alerted, she will run quickly towards the Survivors. She has a lot of health and is very quick.

These are non-playable AI super-boss infected. They are very rare, only one or two in each campaign. They are the most dangerous enemy in the game. Witches become hostile when you shoot them, shine light at them, or fire weapons around them. They kill with one hit. After killing their prey, they run away.

Finally , the guys’ side of the story. hmp.. hope its true.. hehehe

Simpleness of Life…

“The secret to a happy life is to be contented on what you have”. This was the saying that keeps on my mind when my family visited our lola in Marinduque.

At first, I was hesitant to join the trip. Ahm, the truth is I really don’t want coz I think it would just be a waste of my time.. hehehe my bad.. Yup, that’s the truth, the last time I visited my father’s hometown, Marinduque, when I was in grade school pa. Lumaki ako na malayo ang loob ko sa relatives ng father ko.. I know that was too bad but I don’t why; maybe because I grew up with my mother’s relative. My father always bragging us to take a vacation to Marinduque almost every year but me and my sister always has the reason not to go there. Until this summer, my father text me that I should be home on Saturday because we’re going to Marinduque. Of course, I didn’t buy the idea but I’ve realized that my lola was too old and very sick. My father told us that our lola misses us a lot. And then the day came, we travel from Cavite to Dalahican, Quezon and then take a “roro”, a small ship to Binakayan, Marinduque. Then take a jeep to Boac, yup Boac is the place. You know what? Marinduque was so beautiful, a breathtaking scenery. Anyway that’s another story.

When we came to our lola’s place I felt a bit nervous and I don’t know why. When we saw our lola, she cried a lot and then I can’t help it but to cry also. I’ve realized, ang laki ng pagkukulang naming sa lola ko. We forgot that we have our lola waiting for us in the province. Hindi na nya maigalaw yung isang kamay nya and she was trying to peel an egg. I told my lola, “lola ako na po”. Yup I called my grandmother a “lola” again. Medyo nahihiya pa nga ako kse hindi ako sanay. And then I cried while peeling the egg.. hehehe drama.

The afternoon, I’ve realized one thing, the people there was all contented in what they’ve had. Simple ang pamumuhay at simple lang ang trip sa buhay. Grabe, naghanap ako ng computer shop and wala akong nakita. Naisip ko paano sila nabubuhay without the technology. Naisip ko, ako pala ang hindi makakatiis without the internet.. Hehehe.. Anyway, you know what, even cellphone, may tao palang hindi alam at hindi marunong gumamit ng cp. May mga tao palang iniisip na ang Jolibee is for the rich people.. When I heard that, I just keep quiet. Ayokong mag-comment coz that time speechless ako. Wala pa kasing fastfood sa Marinduque eh. Even a commercialized resort, wala. Ayaw ng government ng Marinduque but the place was much beautiful sa Boracay and I think mas sisikat pa dito. Walang pinagbago ang boac sa last time na na-visit ko to.. Hay, I never thought kaya pala natin mabuhay without all these material things. I’ve realized exaggerated lang tayong nasa urban place when it comes with these. Sabi nga ni God, He will provide everything for us and be contented and don’t worry.. Tama po.. These people can live happy and be contented sa life kahit wala yung nakasanayan nating mga luho.. But being a Manileña from the beginning, marami akong natutunan sa trip na to.. Nahiya pa nga ako sa sarili ko coz sometimes luho na lang yung mga ibang bagay na gusto ko.. I don’t know kung naka-inspired ako dito but just sharing you my thoughts.. hehehe..

see us dance in the tune of low

Vacie- this girl super tahimik parang may sariling mundo. Akala ko nga hindi na talaga magsasalita to. But one time, grabe nagsalita sya. Ang daling patawanin.. I love it when she laughs.. Simple lang yung joke pero super enjoy sya.. Book lover din to.. At paano ko makakalimutan yung mahiwaga nyang mapa.. hahaha.. Kahit sandali ko lang to nakasama, I really enjoyed her company…

Super galante nito at mahilig sa McDo, pinsan nya yata si Ronald McDonald.. Kaya lang ang gulo sa gamit.. Madalas nya maiwan ang susi nya sa bahay kse nga nakakalat mga gamit nya… But kahit ganito si Jeilo super bait nito… At wish ko pumayat na sya.. hahaha

Bong – nakilala ko to kay Jade.. But our first convo is nung tour ko sya sa Fen House, feeling landlady ako eh.. Super tahimik, mysterious guy but full of dreams.. Sabi nila masalimuot daw life nito.. That’s why I was too nice to him.. joke lang.. Collector din ng magazine like me, religious at book lover.. Minsan nga lang super drama sa buhay but I appreciate it coz nagpapakatotoo lang sya. Marunong siyang mag-appreciate ng mga bagay. I was flattered when he text me, congratulating me kse super linis ng house.. And pag hindi nya masabi in person dadaanin nya sa text yung pagda-drama nya.. hehehe.. I’m glad tumagal sya sa boarding house coz may history to na bigla na lang lumalayas.. It means he’s enjoying his stay sa Fen house.. Thanks sa mga info about sa blog, net and latest issue in the world…

Arem – totoong tao. What you see is what you get.. yan cia.. Sinasabi kung ano ang ayaw at gusto nya.. Super sweet at caring nito.. At super vain, antagal sa salamin at antagal sa bathroom. Marami siyang anik-anik sa katawan.. Daig pa nga kaming girls eh.. And mapagmahal sa girlfriend, ewan lang at ayaw pang mag-asawa.. Kahit nagkatampuhan kami nito minsan, I’m thankful na naging ok ulit kami at parang walang past..

a Korea with love.. Filipinos please read this stuff.. its so impt…

cristina — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 07:52:43 +0000

This is an essay written by a Korean student i want to share with you. (Never mind the grammar;
it’s the CONTENT that counts ) Maybe it is timely to think about this in the midst of all the confusion
at present.

MY SHORT ESSAY ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES
Jaeyoun KimFilipinos always complain about the corruption in the Philippines . Do you really think the corruption
is the problem of the Philippines ? I do not think so. I strongly believe that the problem is the lack of love for the Philippines .

Let me first talk about my country, Korea . It might help you understand my point..
After the Korean War, South Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world. Koreans
had to start from scratch because entire country was

destroyed after the Korean War, and we had no
natural resources.

Koreans used to talk about the Philippines , for Filipinos were very rich in Asia . We envy Filipinos.
Koreans really wanted to be well off like Filipinos. Many Koreans died of famine.
My father & brother also died because of famine. Korean government was very corrupt and is still very
corrupt beyond your imagination, but Korea was able to develop dramatically because Koreans really
did their best for the common good with their heart

burning with patriotism.

Koreans did not work just for themselves but also

for their neighborhood and country. Education inspired young men with the spirit of patriotism.

40 years ago, President Park took over the government to reform Korea . He tried to borrow money
from other countries, but it was not possible to get a loan and attract a foreign investment because the
economic situation of South Korea was so bad. Korea had only three factories. So, President Park sent many mine workers and nurses to Germany so that they could send money to Korea to build a factory.

They had to go through horrible experience.

In 1964, President Park visited Germany to borrow money. Hundred of Koreans in Germany came to the airport to welcome him and cried there as they saw the President Park . They asked to him, ‘President, when can we be well off?’ That was the only question everyone asked to him. President Park cried with them and promised them that Korea would be well off if everyone works hard for Korea , and the President of Germany got the strong impression on them and lent money to Korea . So, President Park was able to build many factories in Korea

. He always asked Koreans to love their country from their heart.

Many Korean scientists and engineers in the USA came back to Korea to help developing country
because they wanted their country to be well off. Though they received very small salary, they did their
best for Korea

. They always hoped that their children would live in well off country.

My parents always brought me to the places where poor and physically handicapped people live. They
wanted me to understand their life and help them. I also worked for Catholic Church when I was in the army. The only thing I learned from Catholic Church was that we have to love our neighborhood. And, I have loved my neighborhood. Have you cried for the Philippines ? I have cried for my country several
times. I also cried for the Philippines because of so many poor people. I have been to the New Bilibid
prison. What made me sad in the prison were the prisoners who do not have any love for their country.
They go to mass and work for Church. They pray

everyday.

However, they do not love the Philippines . I talked to two prisoners at the maximum-security compound, and both of them said that they would leave the Philippines right after they are released from the prison. They said that they would start a new life in other countries and never come back to the Philippines

Many Koreans have a great love for Korea so that we were able to share our wealth with our neighborhood. The owners of factory and company were distributed their profit to their employees fairly so that employees could

buy what they needed and saved money for the
future and their children.

When I was in Korea , I had a very strong faith and wanted to be a priest. However, when I came to the Philippines , I completely lost my faith. I was very confused when I saw many unbelievable
situations in the Philippines . Street kids always make me sad, and I see them everyday. The Philippines is the only Catholic country in Asia , but there are too many poor people here.
People go to church every Sunday to pray, but nothing has

been changed.

My parents came to the Philippines last week and saw this situation. They told me that Korea was much poorer than the present Philippines when they were young. They are so sorry that there are so
many beggars and street kids. When we went to Pasangjan, I forced my parents to take a boat because
it would fun. However, they were not happy after taking a boat. They said that they would not take the boat a gain because they were sympathized the boatmen, for the boatmen were very poor and had a
small frame. Most of people just took a boat and enjoyed it. But, my parents did not enjoy it because of love

for them.

My mother who has been working for Catholic Church since I was very young told me that if we just go to mass without changing ourselves, we are not Catholic indeed. Faith should come with action.
She added that I have to love Filipinos and do good things for them because all of us are same and have received a great love from God. I want Filipinos to love their neighborhood and country as much as they love God so that the Philippines

will be well off.

I am sure that love is the keyword, which Filipinos should remember. We cannot change the sinful structure at once. It should start from person. Love must start in everybody,
in a s mall scale and have to grow. A lot of

things happen if we open up to love. Let’s put away
our prejudices and look at our worries with our new eyes.

I discover that every person is worthy to be loved. Trust in love, because it makes changes possible.
Love changes you and me. It changes people, contexts and relationships. It changes the world. Please love your

neighborhood and country.

Jesus Christ said that whatever we do to others we do to Him. In the Philippines , there is God for people who are abused and abandoned. There is God who is crying for love. If you have a child, teach them how to love the Philippines . Teach them why they have to love their neighborhood and country.

You already know that God also will be very happy if you love others.

That’s all I really want to ask you Filipinos.

cristina — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 07:39:14 +0000

Sa aking pagtanda, unawain mo sana ako at pagpasensyahan. Kapag dala ng kalabuan ng mata ay nakabasag ako ng pinggan o nakatapon ng sabaw sa hapag kainan, huwag mo sana akong kagagalitan. Maramdamin ang isang matanda. Nagse-self-pity ako sa tuwing sisigawan mo ako.

Kapag mahina na ang tenga ko at hindi ko maintindihan ang sinasabi mo, huwag mo naman sana akong sabihan ng “bingi”! pakiulit na lang ang sinabi mo o pakisulat na lang. Pasensya ka na, anak. Matanda na talaga ako.

Kapag mahina na tuhod ko, pagtiyagaan mo sana akong tulungang tumayo, katulad ng pag-aalalay ko sa iyo noong nag-aaral ka pa lamang lumakad.

Pagpasensyahan mo sana ako kung ako man ay nagiging makulit at paulit-ulit na parang sirang plaka. Basta pakinggan mo na lang ako. Huwag mo sana akong pagtatawanan o pagsasawaang pakinggan. Natatandaan mo anak noong bata ka pa? Kapag gusto mo ng lobo, paulit-ulit mo yung sasabihin, maghapon kang mangungulit hangga’t hindi mo nakukuha ang gusto mo. Pinagtiyagaan ko ang kakulitan mo.

Pagpasensyahan mo na rin sana ang aking amoy. Amoy matanda, amoy lupa. Huwag mo sana akong piliting maligo. Mahina na ang katawan ko. Madaling magkasakit kapag nalamigan, huwag mo sana akong pandirihan. Natatandaan mo noong bata ka pa? Pinagtyagaan kitang habulin sa ilalim ng kama kapag ayaw mong maligo.

Pagpasensyahan mo sana kung madalas, ako’y masungit, dala na marahil ito ng katandaan. Pagtanda mo, maiintindihan mo rin.

Kapag may konti kang panahon, magkwentuhan naman tayo, kahit sandali lang, inip na ako sa bahay, maghapong nag-iisa. Walang kausap.

Alam kong busy ka sa trabaho, subalit nais kong malaman mo na sabik na sabik na akong makakwentuhan ka, kahit alam kong hindi ka interesado sa mga kwento ko. Natatandaan mo anak, noong bata ka pa? Pinagtyagaan kong pakinggan at intindihin ang pautal-utal mong kwento tungkol sa iyong teddy bear.

At kapag dumating ang sandali na ako’y magkakasakit at maratay sa banig ng karamdaman, huwag mo sana akong pagsawaan alagaan. Pagpasensyahan mo na sana kung ako man ay maihi o madumi sa higaan, pagtyagaan mo sana akong alagaan sa mga huling sandali ng aking buhay. Tutal hindi na naman ako magtatagal.

Kapag dumating ang sandali ng aking pagpanaw, hawakan mo sana ang aking kamay at bigyan mo ako ng lakas ng loob na harapin ang kamatayan.

At huwag kang mag-alala, kapag kaharap ko na ang Diyos na Lumikha, ibubulong ko sa Kanya na pagpalain ka sana… dahil naging mapagmahal ka sa iyong ama’t ina…
