Still thinking about going back to blogging. After all, it only served as a personal diary. Am I still my old self? Probably - an ambivert, nevertheless still gaming. Huge things are coming my way this year. First and foremost, <b>marriage</b>. Some people may say it's long overdue, but I believe that the right time does come. Not from some intergalactic force or a higher one, but from two people agreeing that it's about time. Selective existentialism.
Anyway, happy new year!Mujitsuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104989462863950211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091345956234564335.post-20061263735017338902012-12-16T16:17:00.000-08:002012-12-16T16:20:47.614-08:00Rurouni Kenshin Live Action Movie<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fhttp://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2012/12/rurouni-kenshin-live-action-movie.html&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe><br /><br />

The much anticipated <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rurouni-Kenshin-Samurai-X/257842257625836">Rurouni Kenshin</a> movie made its way to Philippines theaters on December 5, 2012. Thousands of fans have already been waiting for this to finally happen as the screening date constantly got pushed to later dates for months. And damn, it was worth the wait.
<p>
Being a Samurai X fan since high school, the movie was like a dream come true. Every detail of the movie feels like it was freshly grabbed right from the anime itself. No fan will be disappointed with the movie since you will not be expecting any mistakes that Hollywood usually makes with their own rendition of popular animes/games.
<p>
The actors were able to relive their characters the way we watched it in the series. Actor Takeru Sato was surely perfect for the role. From being the bloodthirsty Battousai the Slasher to the kind and sweet wanderer Kenshin Himura, he totally nailed it.

The DVD becomes available on December 26th. So if you haven't watched the movie yet (you can catch it on SM Cinemas til the 19th), be sure to watch it right away! Or, get the DVD at least. ;)Mujitsuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104989462863950211noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091345956234564335.post-2997418800431334932012-07-24T02:33:00.000-07:002012-07-24T02:35:26.797-07:00Daniel Radcliffe Turns 23<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2012/07/daniel-radcliffe-turns-23.html;layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe><br /><br />

<br />After several weeks of waiting, I finally got my third letter from <a href="http://www.pottermore.com">Pottermore</a>. The one stating that my account is finally ready and I can enter the site. Pottermore is set to open to all on October but there are a few who can enter it earlier during the beta phase.
<br />
<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-e1MVPnziyiU/TlkGGDuXdEI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/DYn8GFyCRdI/s1600/p2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 279px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-e1MVPnziyiU/TlkGGDuXdEI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/DYn8GFyCRdI/s400/p2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5645550309034390594" /></a>
<br />
<br />
<br />I quickly logged in and explored the site. There are still a lot of changes to be done. I also took part in making a few suggestions, some already voiced out by other <span style="font-style:italic;">students</span>.
<br />
<br />Chapter to chapter I viewed all the stories and awesome artworks, when finally I got to the sorting hat. I was excited and nervous as to where the hat will put me. I have been believing I'm in Gryffindor for 10 years. So here I was, answering all the questions truthfully and the results came out. <span style="font-weight:bold;">RAVENCLAW!</span>
<br />I was lost for words! Why oh why did I got sorted to Ravenclaw? The house where they say only the wittiest and brightest witches and wizards come from. Shocked, I continued anyway. If the sorting hat put me there, then I just let it be.
<br />
<br />I explored further and began practicing on potions and spells. They weren't that easy haha. Anyways, Pottermore is a great site but I know it'll be greater when it opens in October. ;)Mujitsuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104989462863950211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091345956234564335.post-2180103807903249842011-06-30T09:44:00.000-07:002011-06-30T10:03:02.801-07:00Pottermore Update<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2011/06/pottermore-update.html&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hcfQmCK04gQ/TgysI85cgwI/AAAAAAAAAHo/7YuCyNbVJX0/s1600/pottermore%2Bchapter_six_intro.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 296px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hcfQmCK04gQ/TgysI85cgwI/AAAAAAAAAHo/7YuCyNbVJX0/s400/pottermore%2Bchapter_six_intro.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624059304464909058" /></a><br /><br />As the last Harry Potter film is nearing its release date, fans from around the world have been given something new to look forward to. When owls started appearing on the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/JKRowlingAnnounces">JKR Announces Youtube channel</a>, people patiently awaited the day the video is released. Opinions were expressed among millions of fans as to what it might be. Some said that it can be an online game or another book. J.K. Rowling announced on June 23, 2011, her newest project called <a href="http://www.pottermore.com">Pottermore</a>.<br /><br /><iframe width="460" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/i5DOKOt7ZF4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />She shares that it will a new and exciting way to enjoy online reading, community interaction and even discovering HP secrets she has kept throughout the years. There is nothing more that I can say about it since the announcement appears a little vague to me. But one thing's for sure, it will be something worth waiting for.<br /><br />If you want to join Pottermore, you can submit your emails as early as today and come back on July 31, 2011 to know if you can be part of the group to experience it earlier than the rest. Official opening of the whole site is said to take place on October.Mujitsuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104989462863950211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091345956234564335.post-31047930496699007262011-06-22T20:40:00.000-07:002011-06-22T20:48:28.275-07:00Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 Countdown<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2011/06/harry-potter-and-deathly-hallows-part-2.html&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe><br /><center><img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://c.gigcount.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEzMDg4MDA*NjQwMjAmcHQ9MTMwODgwMDQ3MjU4NiZwPTIyMzA1MiZkPSZnPTEmbz*1NTM4MDFlMjkzZTU*MzU4OGY*/YjkzMGI5YWE4MTVlNCZvZj*w.gif" /><embed allowScriptAccess="never" src="http://widgia.com/widgets/harry_potter7_part_2_countdown/countdown.swf" quality="high" width="250" height="250"></embed><br /><br /><br />It's going to be the last Harry Potter film.<br />Bittersweet. :(<br /><br /><a href="http://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2010/12/harry-potter-and-deathly-hallows-part-1.html">Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1</a></center>Mujitsuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104989462863950211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091345956234564335.post-15620621979320888222011-03-07T04:43:00.000-08:002011-03-07T05:08:30.897-08:005th year of Love ♥<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2011/03/5th-year-of-love.html&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe><br />March 7, 2006. A date which seemed to be just yesterday; and now here I look back and realize that it was already five years ago. But the feeling never faded nor changed, it just grew stronger. For a hopeless romantic like me, I considered it extreme luck (or even fate) to have met my boyfriend, Ervin. Each of us has a different view on what a perfect lover is, but to me, he is everything I always wanted. :)<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rtm26j-y5JI/TXTVZDn4nHI/AAAAAAAAAHE/Nxp-4uRkX0Q/s1600/1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rtm26j-y5JI/TXTVZDn4nHI/AAAAAAAAAHE/Nxp-4uRkX0Q/s400/1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581320464664927346" /></a><br /><br />We decided to celebrate our anniversary a day before because our actual day falls on a Monday. Both of us are busy during weekdays especially Mondays and we just wanted to share the moment longer. :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jH7ylSpmICw/TXTVgZUBxPI/AAAAAAAAAHM/mkaaOyXTW2s/s1600/2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jH7ylSpmICw/TXTVgZUBxPI/AAAAAAAAAHM/mkaaOyXTW2s/s400/2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581320590746305778" /></a><br /><br />He picked me up after lunch and we went to SM to have his hair cut. Then followed a series of "where are we going?". We ended up at the carnival but only took pictures and didn't ride. Then came dinner time and I was so excited because he told me it was a surprise. I kept guessing for days but he just won't tell me. Even in the car on the way to the destination, he won't tell me still. But when we arrived there, the store was closed after all. :( So we decided to go with plan B. I knew the place but haven't eaten there yet so it was still new to me. We went to Jack's Ridge and ate a lot! Calamares, sizzling squid and spicy pork ribs! Yummmm!<br /><br />After feeling full, we headed back to SM to watch any last full show. We chose The Adjustment Bureau which isn't bad at all. The movie was great and so was the plot. :) Drove off to McDonalds after the movie where we waited for 12midnight. After an hour or two of talking, he drove me home. ♥<br /><br />Today, we still had a special dinner. Don't I have the best boyfriend or what? :D<br />Truly, a very rare male specie! And I love him with all my heart. ^.^Mujitsuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104989462863950211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091345956234564335.post-60118453775333178592011-02-15T04:52:00.000-08:002011-02-15T05:00:07.056-08:00Scuba Diving<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2011/02/scuba-diving.html&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SyrWvsk6KLU/TVp3TK2gZwI/AAAAAAAAAG8/RwCAoUuQXYY/s1600/3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SyrWvsk6KLU/TVp3TK2gZwI/AAAAAAAAAG8/RwCAoUuQXYY/s400/3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573898660038600450" /></a><br /><br />Among the many activities we've done over the weekend, this was probably the most frightful yet exciting one for me. :D That's me and Bibin ♥ scuba diving at Maxima Aqua Fun in Samal. This is the first time we've done this and we're kinda having second thoughts if we're gonna do it again. It was really scary at first but I got to adjust somehow. Not to mention that the blue color in the background led to a seemingly bottomless pit of doom! We can only see the blue shade and we couldn't see where it leads or how deep it was.

There's a lot to be thankful and sad for everything that has happened in the past year, including:<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Not-so-good events</span>:<br />- Zhu Xian Online closed down<br />- ingame wars turned personal<br />- Dobby died.. XD<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Great events</span>:<br />- celebrated our 4th anniversary ♥<br />- even though ZX closed, I realized that the friendship I made with Lotus stretched far outside the game<br />- had the coolest boss, sir Matt ;)<br />- discovered the realms of Heroes of Three Kingdoms and Battle of Immortals<br />- co-owned a PSP with bf ♥<br />- had a new netbook<br />- BF was introduced to my extended family as well - aunts, uncles, cousins - and they liked him! ♥<br /><br />In a nutshell, I loved 2010! The bad things that happened are of little importance and impact in contrast to the good ones. Thanks for a great year Lord!

In the previous post where I mentioned the <a href="http://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2010/12/5-things-your-boyfriend-wont-tell-you.html">five things your boyfriend won't tell you</a>, I let <span style="font-style:italic;">him</span> read it. He smiled when he scanned at the points and I think he found himself guilty of some of the statements. I asked him and he said, "haha yeah."<br /><br />1. <span style="font-weight:bold;">We like the chase – you chasing us.</span><br />Yep, it’s sad but true that when a guy is too eager to catch us we wonder why. What is wrong with this guy? Why is he so clingy? Is he a control freak? Is he a serial dater? A player with many girlfriends on the go? Is he insane? It’s not that we don’t want to be caught, we do, we just don’t want to feel trapped and when things happen too fast trapped is how we feel. <a name='more'></a> We need to be sure of our feelings and of our attraction before we can step off the racetrack and give up the chase. You need to woo us to make us yours. Some guys lay out traps, saying all the right things and meaning none of them, in an attempt to woo us and this gives way to our biggest fear; falling prey to an insincere guy who is more about the game than being in a relationship. For this reason even once we’re yours, even once we are sure of your feelings and you are sure of ours, we need to still feel a little bit of the chase. When you chase us we feel like you want us and are willing to do some work to be with us and we don’t want that feeling to go away just because you’ve caught us.<br /><br />2. <span style="font-weight:bold;">When we say we’re “OK” or that things are “fine” the opposite is probably true.</span><br />Girls are communicators. It is hardwired in to our psyches to talk and talk and talk some more whenever there is discord or conflict. So if you sense there’s a problem and gather the courage to ask us and we respond with a “fine” or “it’s ok” or some other sentence with less than 7 (short) words chances are good that we really want to talk. So, you think, what’s a guy to do? You ask a question, you get an answer, and you plan based on that answer. Who wants to read between the lines or guess what is really going on? What a waste of time, right? Wrong! When girls pull the short answers out during a conversation it is because we want you to put the effort in to getting us to open up. It comes from a place of feeling like you don’t usually care what we have to say so we want you to put some effort in to getting us to talk so we can be sure we will be listened to. Now those perceptive guys among you may have your hands up right now waiting to ask the obvious question… if a girl feels like she’s not usually heard isn’t that the REAL problem? Yes, yes it is, and one little talk won’t stop that feeling of being marginalized. In psychology we call this a learned response, a behavior that does not come naturally but rather has been developed through a process called social conditioning. You may very well be the most attentive boyfriend since the dawn of time but if her previous guys made her feel insignificant or unheard you’ll have to help her carry that baggage. Heck, you’ll have to help her unpack it and put it away! So when your girl replies with a curt little answer to your questions don’t take her at face value. Calmly and gently ask her a few more times. Once she feels like you will hear her nature will take over and, voila! You’ll be communicating.<br /><br />3. <span style="font-weight:bold;">We want you to have your guy time.</span><br />It is such a myth that girls don’t like to let their guy just hang with the boys. It's a terrible lie perpetrated by relationship-phobes throughout the ages. It is totally untrue that we want you to give up your life to be with us. Think of it this way… when we met you and fell for you, you were (hopefully) single and your friends were a big part of your life. Take your friends away and a big piece of the guy we fell for goes with them. So we want you to keep your guy time. We know you need your friends and truth be told we need our friends too. That being said, obviously when you are single you have lots of spare time to spend with friends but when you are in a relationship some of that time is going to be taken up by your significant other (A.K.A. us). That is only normal. It is normal for you to need your guy time and it is normal for you to want to spend time with us. If you find the right balance the guy-time issue quickly becomes a non-issue. It is when we feel like you don’t make as much time for us as you do for them or that you resent being away from your friends when you are with us that the stereotypical “girlfriend verses the friends” scenario takes the stage. It’s all about balance. Spending time with your friends or with us will never be an issue as long as there is a balance and as long as we never feel that they mean more to you than we do or that they come always first.<br /><br />4. <span style="font-weight:bold;">We want to know your friends but aren’t so sure you need to know ours.</span><br />I’m not going to lie; this is hypocrisy in its most raw form. We want you to bring us around your friends, we want to know them and we want them to like us, but we aren’t quite as crazy about you knowing our friends. The why of this is as simple as it is irrational and here it is… we want to know your boys so we can understand the kinds of things they may get you to do when we’re not around. In short, will they encourage you to cheat on us, will they get you doing reckless and dangerous things, and will they help you engage in self-destructive activities? What we want to know is if they will be good or bad influences on you. We also want to create a buffer; we want your friends to like us so that they won’t want you to lose us. If there is no tension between your friends and us then we don’t need to fear them asking you to choose between love and friendship. Now on the flip side, we don’t really want you getting all chummy with our friends because we don’t want them to fill you in on all of our dirty little secrets. As previously noted girls are talkers by nature and we don’t want them to let something slip that may make you raise an eyebrow in our direction. We also fear, but will never admit fearing, you wanting one of our friends more than you want us. It’s bad enough to lose your guy to another girl but when that girl was once a friend, well, the sting is even sharper. So allow us this hypocrisy. It’s irrational, that's true, but it’s also quite harmless.<br /><br />5. <span style="font-weight:bold;">We worry that other girls look better now that you are in a relationship.</span><br />The idea that life is better on the other side is one of the most destructive forces in relationship world and girls feel that guys fall for it way too often. It is a great fear of ours that once you can’t have other girls you will suddenly want them all. It leads to a lot of unfounded jealousy brought on by innocent comments on your part or casual non-flirtatious conversations with other girls. So what’s a guy to do? In a perfect world you’d stop interacting with other girls altogether but our rational super-ego knows that’s not realistic. What you need to do is follow these three simple rules; 1) never pay more attention to another girl than you do to your girlfriend, 2) never comment over and over how hot/cool/nice/fun another girl is, and 3) if you meet a great girl while you’re in a relationship hook her up with one of your buddies (also known as taking her off the market and getting her out of our face). And should you ever really get the itch to jump the fence and live life on the other side... just do it! Don’t lead us on, don’t cheat on us, don’t sneak around, just end the relationship. If it ends up being a GIGS fueled mistake… oh well, consider it a hard lesson learned and leave us alone... we won't want you back anyway!<br /><br />True for me! <a href="http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r141/gemmaxiomz/ZX%20Funny%20Pig%20Emotes/?action=view&current=p02.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r141/gemmaxiomz/ZX%20Funny%20Pig%20Emotes/p02.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Mujitsuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104989462863950211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091345956234564335.post-53113588829947382572010-12-14T09:30:00.000-08:002011-01-05T04:06:05.298-08:00Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows PART 1<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2010/12/harry-potter-and-deathly-hallows-part-1.html&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-Yfecb9cvKo/TQep-KsyOaI/AAAAAAAAAFk/JPgnCfycv6g/s1600/harry-potter%2B7%2Bpart1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 272px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-Yfecb9cvKo/TQep-KsyOaI/AAAAAAAAAFk/JPgnCfycv6g/s400/harry-potter%2B7%2Bpart1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550591951246604706" /></a><br /><br />First, I was really happy to know that they made the film into two parts since I believe that one movie would not be enough to give justice to the book. Secondly, I was even happier when I watched the movie.<br /><a name='more'></a><br />• <span style="font-style:italic;">They included almost everything in the book.</span><br />Unlike the previous Harry Potter movies, HP7 Part 1 was full of details. Normally one would anticipate the movie to miss one or two important story contents from the book. They might have missed some details but overall, the story was superbly squeezed in the movie up to the part where it ended.<br /><br />• <span style="font-style:italic;">Additional characters were finally introduced.</span><br />Familiar names in the book like Bill Weasley has finally came out in the open, as well as Mundungus Fletcher. These characters have been in the previous books but they were only formally introduced on HP7 Part1. There are a lot of characters which were revealed including Bathilda Bagshot and a few others.<br /><br />• <span style="font-style:italic;">The story was flowing slowly but enjoyably.</span><br />I remember watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and found it to be going too fast. They seemed to have tried to squeezed in as much detail as possible. But for an HP reader like me, I thought that the events were all going so fast. In HP7, you can relax but still be assured of understanding the story with each passing minute.<br /><br />I hope the second part is as good as the first part or even better.<br /><br /><center><span style="font-weight:bold;">My rating: 5 Happy Pigs</span></center><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-Yfecb9cvKo/TQeqGvsIXaI/AAAAAAAAAFs/cCJXNptHAUI/s1600/5pigs.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 192px; height: 42px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-Yfecb9cvKo/TQeqGvsIXaI/AAAAAAAAAFs/cCJXNptHAUI/s400/5pigs.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550592098614926754" /></a>Mujitsuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104989462863950211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091345956234564335.post-58954617030467766152010-12-14T03:56:00.000-08:002011-01-05T04:06:57.013-08:005 Things Your Boyfriend Won't Tell You<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2010/12/5-things-your-boyfriend-wont-tell-you.html&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe><br />After a dozen times of seeing friends getting tagged in notes about love and relationships, I remember a post I read months ago about the <a href="http://teenadvice.about.com/od/loveanddating/a/bf5secrets.htm">5 things your boyfriend won't tell you</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br />1. <span style="font-weight:bold;">We like being “the boyfriend.”</span><br />Girls often think that guys are players-at-heart who love the single life and only settle down because society tells them that they have to, but nothing could be further from the truth. Sure there are some guys who get a serious case of the GIGS (Grass Is Greener Syndrome) every time they make a commitment to a girl but these guys are the exception not the rule. We other guys have a word to describe our flakey won’t settle down counterparts – immature. For the most part guys love being in love just as much as girls do.<br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br />2. <span style="font-weight:bold;">We don’t like when you pull away from us.</span><br />Guys are competitive beasts so you’d think that the hard to get game would make us give chase, and in the beginning stages of a relationship it does, but once we’ve settled in and made a commitment to you we want the chase to stop. If you keep it up, if you keep pushing us away with your right hand while pulling us closer with your left, you’ll quickly find that we start pulling away altogether. Once we open our hearts the game totally changes for us. We don’t want to chase you forever so when you pull away from us, we pull away from you in what amounts to a psychological tug-o-war. The more you pull away the more we respond in kind. Keep it up and everyone just gets tired and calls it quits. So once you’ve landed your guy don’t keep playing hard to get, instead let him know that you’re happy you were caught.<br /><br />3. <span style="font-weight:bold;">We want our friends to like you… but not love you.</span><br />In guy world the approval of our friends is very important so it makes sense that we want our friends to like you. But what we don’t want is for them to covet you. When we hook up with a very hot girl and our buddies ogle her it is a real turn off. This is why so many really pretty girls find themselves single. We just can’t handle the thought of losing you to one of our friends because if that happens we lose our girl, one of our boys and a big chunk of our egos. So if our friends like you and think you're cool that’s great but if they wish they could have you that’s bad. Unfortunately this is totally out of your control. Rest assured that as guys get older we get more secure and this one matters less but in the meantime know this - if you’ve ever been dumped by a guy who you thought really liked you shortly after meeting his friends take comfort in the fact that you were probably just too hot for him to handle.<br /><br />4. <span style="font-weight:bold;">We want you to like, but not love, our friends.</span><br />This one goes along with the other one for obvious reasons but there is a little more to it. Obviously we don’t want you ditching us to be with one of our buddies but we also don’t want you to work overtime trying to win our friends over. Sometimes no matter how great you are our friends will only act luke-warm toward you. This is most likely not your fault and usually has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them but as long as our friends and you can hang out without incident the boyfriend in us is happy. We don’t want you to go out of your way to get our friends to like you because we want your energy focused on us and only us. We don’t want you to care what other guys think about you. We want your efforts and attentions to rest firmly on us. Is that immature? Probably. But hey, we’re guys!<br /><br />5. <span style="font-weight:bold;">We worry that YOU will dump US.</span><br />If there is one thing I see over and over in the girl magazines it’s question after question about how to keep a guy interested but that’s not really very hard. When we like you, we like you and that’s all there is to it. In reality we probably spend more time worrying that you’ll dump us than we would ever spend thinking about dumping you. So relax and stop fixating on how or when our relationship will end and just be our girlfriend. That’s all it really takes to keep a guy happy.<br /><br /><br />We girls always say it's hard to understand boys. Well, they do feel the same about us. :DMujitsuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104989462863950211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091345956234564335.post-7211235169683127582010-12-07T07:48:00.000-08:002011-01-05T04:07:36.429-08:00Loyalty: Unabridged Version<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2010/12/loyalty-unabridged-version.html&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">This is my bf’s winning entry for the “Relive Your Adventures” forum contest under the Creative category.

The first thing that came to mind was my character. For a year and a half I have played her well and other characters which the owners completely trusted me into using them.<br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br />My mind was flooding with different thoughts but most of them were sad ones. No matter how I tried looking at it from a different angle, the fact remained the same, that my favorite game was going to end. I literally spent nights crying whenever I think about it. And every single morning I wake up, I wasn't my usual self; because there was this feeling inside that was telling me that I can't do anything about it. Yes, there was none, whether I like it or not. I also thought of the friends I made ingame. Luckily most of them are already listed in my Facebook friends but there were some who weren't. And this saddened me more.<br /><br />In a nutshell, this video was the product of my grief and dismay when they were still fresh. Months later, here I am today still missing ZX but not as bad <a href="http://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2010/07/goodbye-zx-and-lotus.html">as I used to</a>.Mujitsuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104989462863950211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091345956234564335.post-21585786713187217652010-12-04T21:25:00.000-08:002011-01-05T04:09:02.670-08:00Calm Poison<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2010/12/calm-poison.html&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-Yfecb9cvKo/TPsk-ZFA4sI/AAAAAAAAAEM/pqj6Pve3W7c/s1600/38928_1509436049457_1041008561_31453090_3420897_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 325px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-Yfecb9cvKo/TPsk-ZFA4sI/AAAAAAAAAEM/pqj6Pve3W7c/s400/38928_1509436049457_1041008561_31453090_3420897_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547068020339303106" /></a><br /><br />Every morning when the sun touches the soft grounds of the earth, two friends set out on the green pastures outside Heyang City. Although the two girls have diverse characteristics, no one can deny that they are bonded like sisters. Both of them are apprentices of their schools harnessing the skills needed for survival. MuJitSu, a Heaven Sound temple disciple, focuses on the bright side of life – purity, healing and protection. Kaori, the admirable girl from the Ghost Witchery Sect practices the total opposite. She vows to use aggressive, brutal attacks to defend her side. When she becomes her full form –the demon stance, a lot less human like, fierce and glows red – she is undeniably stronger than when she is human.<br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br />MuJitSu and Kaori escape the boundaries of Heyang and have an adventurous time each passing day. They come home tired and exhausted. But they still have the time to retell their adventure at night. The elders call to the two girls often as they have the most courageous tales best enjoyed after dinner.<br />On a typical Wednesday morning, MuJitSu suggested that they visit the sandy lands of Foreworld. When they were fully garbed, Kaori looked uneasy for a minute but MuJitSu failed to notice it when she said she was ready.<br /><br />They passed through the secret passages only both of them know. When they surfaced, they were surprised to see the Bloody Cougar breathing in their faces. In an instant, MuJitSu put a protective shield on Kaori and took a step backward. She was holding on to her enchantments to work even on such a preemptive attack. They were usually the ones doing stealth and surprise attacks. Kaori transformed as a demon but got hit first in the arm. The vicious creature lunged at her and made a couple more scratches. She quickly slid behind the monster’s back and poisoned it. This did the trick as it was still fighting but its blows were getting weaker. Kaori attacked more and she was feeling really good about it. Every time she becomes her natural self, she had a sense of utmost concentration and power. MuJitSu was also attacking at her side setting off massive spells to help in weakening the opponent. Finally the monster’s strength gave way and it was kneeling in front of them slowly dying. When they heard its last breath, they knew they won.<br /><br />MuJitSu sat and panted as she observed the dead form. Kaori did the same, but there was blood lust in her eyes. She said, “This won’t do for the day. Let’s hunt some more.” Muji replied after looking at her, “If you say so, then lead the way.” They were the best of friends but even Muji cannot deny that she was a little afraid when Kaori gets a bit warrior-like in that appearance.<br /><br />It was already high noon when they crossed Dead Swamp and entered the gloomy cave of Fox Mountain. Kaori did not return to human shape and this troubled Muji. They ventured through narrow passages. When they reached a deserted corner, a lady in green appeared before them. She had a gentle face that she seems out of place in such an ill-omened cavern. Muji lowered her staff but Kaori was still facing her boldly. The lady said, “I see before me two young adventurers, but what is your purpose here?”<br /><br />Muji who apparently did not know why they were there kept silent. Kaori glowed redder and replied, “We have come to take whatever we find valuable here. But we have not seen anything yet.”<br /><br />The lady chuckled, “Why, you will never find anything here. This is but an old sanctuary for those who seek protection at dangerous times. Since you have come here for a different purpose, it will only serve as a dull dark cave.”<br /><br />As the lady spoke gently, Kaori was looking at the red jewel in her chest which glowed bright amidst the dark surroundings. She said, “I want that one on your chest.” Muji was stunned but said quickly, “Kaori what are you saying?” But when she looked at her friend, she realized that Kaori looked serious and stern. She has not been a demon for longer than a minute in our journeys, she thought. What was indeed happening was the longer Kaori stayed demon, spite was slowly crawling in her veins, to her heart. She gripped her arm but quickly let go of it because it felt hot like fire.<br /><br />The green lady smiled and in an instant turned demon herself. “No one takes it from me, even if it means I will kill a pretty lady.” Kaori let out a sarcastic laugh, “I knew we were the same. And I knew this can never be a sanctuary but instead you feed on the humans who mistakenly set foot here, even my father. I have been searching for the cursed cave ever since, I just didn’t know it was in plain view.”<br /><br />And the next minute Muji knew, Kaori attacked the lady with full strength. The lady was able to dodge it but not too quickly as she was hit in the left cheek. The roof and ground began to tremble as her blood hit the floor. Muji began casting protective spells for her friend but Kaori shouted, “Use the potion on the left pocket of your bag, quickly!” Muji opened the bottle but cried, “No!” It was an escape potion. She was slowly disappearing from toe upwards. Before she totally disappeared, Kaori looked at her and said, “You were the greatest friend I ever had” and next minute she found herself outside the cave.

The cave collapsed and she couldn’t hear her friend’s voice.<br /><br />She sat with tears on her cheeks and opened her bag, “I wish I could have given my gift for her birthday sooner.” And she held the most precious stone the elders gave her – a blue immortality stone.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">*a <a href="http://forums.e-games.com.ph/index.php?showtopic=324665">winning entry</a> for the “Relive Your Adventures” forum contest</span>.Mujitsuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104989462863950211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091345956234564335.post-58058316186450482522010-12-03T17:59:00.000-08:002011-01-05T04:09:30.204-08:00Misa Amane<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2010/12/misa-amane.html&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-Yfecb9cvKo/TPmgqr12-4I/AAAAAAAAAD8/M1Pqgs_SFR8/s1600/mujitsu%2527s%2Bmisa%2Bamane.jpg.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 292px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-Yfecb9cvKo/TPmgqr12-4I/AAAAAAAAAD8/M1Pqgs_SFR8/s400/mujitsu%2527s%2Bmisa%2Bamane.jpg.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546641071267052418" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">My own rendition of Misa Amane from my favorite anime Death Note.</span> :)Mujitsuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104989462863950211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091345956234564335.post-36031900164033912762010-12-03T04:17:00.000-08:002011-01-05T04:09:55.009-08:00Love for My Pet<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2010/12/love-for-my-pet.html&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe><br />This was my entry in my former game ZX Online for the “<span style="font-style:italic;">Show Your Love for Pets</span>” forum contest.

I would be accompanied by my parents and siblings to the carnival. My aunt Eve wouldn’t be able to go this year because of some problems mom wouldn’t make mention in the house.<br /><br />As practiced, I would be left alone in the carnival riding all I want as long as they would buy me unlimited tickets. "Don't go too far without your brother, Jean," mom said as usual. I found it very strange why my little brother wouldn’t accompany me at the carousel today. He told me he saw a nasty little boy who would taunt him. I didn’t pay attention to this until I saw the boy myself. I saw him sitting behind the operator’s table with a knife in his right hand and a rag doll on the other.<br /><br />He cheerfully stabbed the doll a dozen times and stopped when he noticed me staring at him. He was about my age and I noticed my cheeks turned pink. He was handsome and was white as snow. He looked like he was born royalty. At my young age at ten, it was the first time I appreciated somebody, particularly a boy. I slowly moved closer to him when suddenly he ran away. The boys nearby laughed at me at this sight. I was confused why he ran, was it because I stared at him too much.. I found out later why.. I followed him through the dark passage of the carousel under and saw him sitting on the ground. I felt like I knew him for more than a year. I sat beside him and asked. “May I help you? You seem to be troubled by something..” For a few seconds he only sat there staring at his doll, then the next minute he looked at me with confusion on his face.<br /><br />Then he began to open his mouth but no words would come out. This started to make me feel a little scared. His eyes rolled and his hand landed on my lap. It was so cold. While his head bowed, I tried to look him straight in the face and what I saw made my hair stand on end. He had no eyes and his mouth was beginning to draw blood. I couldn’t think of anything to do. My feet were stuck with horror. His grasp was getting tighter and tighter. I tried to scream but the laughter outside drowned my voice. I wished I could scream as loud as I can get but it was no help. I couldn’t contain my consciousness anymore and I saw everything turned pitch-black.<br /><br />When I woke up, I was in the hospital lying down with my mother at my side. I asked her what happened and she had very teary eyes when she said’ “Your little brother found you lying beside the carousel unconscious. There was blood all over your dress but you weren’t injured. We also saw a little boy beside you. But it was a pitiful sight. He was stabbed many times and the doll he was holding was said to be a prize he won over at the carnival. He was killed by your uncle, Eve’s husband Eric, who turned lunatic and got loose from the asylum. It’s just funny why the boy still seemed to be killed just yesterday when in fact he was killed a week ago, on your birthday.” After hearing that, I nearly fainted when I remembered on my birthday the boy was actually there where he was accompanied by my uncle who was reported to have killed himself after he killed the boy, on the same day, at the same time of my party.Mujitsuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104989462863950211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091345956234564335.post-19990781462918676942010-12-01T06:22:00.000-08:002011-01-05T04:10:48.991-08:00A Movement for Eliminating Violence Against Children<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2010/12/movement-for-eliminating-violence.html&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe><br /><blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">Change your facebook profile picture to a cartoon from your childhood and invite your friends to do the same.

This is for eliminating violence against children.<span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></span></blockquote><br /><br />This was the status that I saw the moment I logged on Facebook last night. I was excited to relive some of the best cartoons during childhood, most of which belong to the <a href="http://mujimujitsu.blogspot.com/2009/05/notable-animes-in-90s.html">Notable Animes in the 90s</a>.<br /><br />It is a happy yet nostalgic experience to remember the cartoon series we all used to watch when we were little. If you haven't changed your profile pic yet, do so now, it's only Wednesday.. do it for the children. ;)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs987.snc4/76010_1663625824105_1041008561_31788369_1199866_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 375px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs987.snc4/76010_1663625824105_1041008561_31788369_1199866_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Julio at Julia, ang kambal ng tadhana.

There's not much to see here as of the moment as I only take the time to edit stuff during my <span style="font-style:italic;">free</span> time.<br /><br />Sad to say I had to trash my supposedly <a href="http://www.mujitsu.wordpress.com">new blog</a> because blogger has more free features. What I have to pay at wordpress I can get for free at blogger. And I hope it stays that way! Haha.<br /><br />Some of the features aren't working yet and `will update in time. ;)Mujitsuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15104989462863950211noreply@blogger.com0
