I kinda like this story which I got from our newsletter here at work. Kinda relate to the story in some sort of way...The story after the jump There was a girl who never feels anything, hate, anger, loneliness, fear, happiness, worries, and sadness. A girl named Samantha, she has a long black straight shiny hair, she has a beautiful curved face, has a dark brown eyes, and fair skin. One day, a boy named Leeon fell in love with her, he is a handsome guy, and he has a dark brown hair, black eyes and fair skin. The boy tried to confess his feelings for the girl, but the girl replied, “But...I can’t feel...I don’t know how to feel what others feel” The boy did not care and he said to the girl that he’ll teach her how to feel The girl said, “It’s hopeless, how will you do it? All the doctors that I have consulted told me that I’m normal, that there is nothing wrong with me, but there is...”
The boy was a bit hurt, he knew it was hopeless but he did not give up that easily, he gives it a chance and he planned to do his best. The girl get curios about feelings and that night, she prayed solemnly to GOD, and wish to the stars that someday she want to wake up with feelings in her heart.
Everyday, the boy makes surprises for the girl and do sweet things for her. Days pass by, the boy keep on doing special things for the girl but still, the girl cannot feel anything. One day, the two are walking on the seashore...The girl started to ask the boy, “What is love? How do you feel it?” The boy answered her, “Uhmm...I don’t know much about it, because every people has different outlooks in love...But for me, Love is the most powerful thing, it’s the most powerful feeling of all, it can’t be broken easily by time and distance, and it has a promise” Girl: “wow...it seemed to be so deep, but I still don’t know how it feels...” Boy: “Its okay...someday you will...”, Leeon replied sadly Girl: “When I was still little, my mother used to tell me that tears hurt your heart and your eyes, and she used to forbid me not to love, because she said it’ll kill all of me...will I die if I love someone?” Boy: “Its true that tears hurt your heart and your eyes, but love? It will not kill you, if love is not destined to be, it really hurts a lot, love will only kill your heart...” Girl: “That’s why I don’t want to love...” Leeon was hurt by Samantha’s point of view in love, but he ignored it. Every time they talk about feelings, Samantha is getting more curious of it... Three years passed, the boy gets impatient, he gets tired of waiting for the girl and he’s starting to lose hope...One day, when Leeon and Samantha were together, the boy started to ask her questions, Boy: “do you love me???” Samantha was surprised of Leeon’s question and answered back, Girl: “...No...” Boy: “Do your heart beats fast when I’m with you?!” Girl: “No…” Boy: “Do you find me when I’m not with you??” Girl: “...No...” The boy started to drop a tear from his left cheek and said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry for being impatient, and I’m sorry for hurrying you” The boy started to walk out, but the girl called him, “Leeon!...” Leeon turned back with teary eyes, then the girl added, “I’m sorry too Leeon...”, the boy was surprised to hear her say that word, thinking that she’s sorry for him and asked her, “Do you mean it? Do you really feel that you’re sorry?” Samantha answered him back, “My mother said that when I made someone sad, I must say sorry...” Then Leeon whispered, “Then, I was wrong...”, he turned away and started to walk, Samantha feel something falling from her face and when she touched it wet, she thought it was a tear from her eye, she called the boy, “Leeon! I just drop a tear from my eye! I’m crying! I’m crying!” Leeon turned back, and suddenly the rain slowly fell on them. Boy: “Samantha, it was just the drop of the rain” Girl: “...But what’s the difference??” Boy: “There is a big difference!” Girl: “I just thought…”, Leeon interrupt her, “Let’s go home...” The two of them went home wet, after Leeon drop Samantha at their house, Samantha ran up to her room, opened her window and watched Leeon disappeared in the rain. She did not change her clothes and she wears her wet clothes all night she said to her self, “What can I do? I’m losing someone I don’t want to lose”, then she had fall into a deep sleep... The next morning, Samantha caught a fever, at that day, Leeon did not come by at her house, and she did not hear from Leeon that day. The next day, Samantha got a phone call at exactly 8:00 p.m. from the hospital near the municipal hall and told her that Leeon was confined there last night, Samantha panicked and ran to her room to change her clothes and she forgot to ask the reason why Leeon was confined. It was raining hard that night. She arrived wet at the hospital, she ran to the nurse station to ask Leeon’s room. She ran from the stairs and when she reached his room, Leeon was not there, there was no sign of him. Samantha quickly approached the nurse and asked where the patient of the room is, but the nurse didn’t know so she ran to the doctor, and when the doctor came to see her, the doctor apologized to her and he command the nurses to find the brain cancer patient. Samantha was shocked to hear about Leeon’s condition and asked the doctor about it, the doctor said he was in a critical condition and sooner or later, he could die... Samantha ran outside and searched for Leeon, she saw Leeon standing beside a tree at the back of the hospital, he was very wet because of the rain, Samantha called him, Leeon turned and smiled when he saw her...Samantha ran to Leeon and hugged him, Leeon started to say something... Boy: “Its so nice to see you, I missed you so much!”,
Leeon hugged her tighter and he let go, he stared at Samantha with his pale and sad face, but still, his being handsome does not fades...Leeon touched her wet face and said, “Look Samantha, you’re crying”, Samantha answered him back, “But...Its just the rain”, Leeon smiled at her... Girl: “Why didn’t you tell me earlier??”, Samantha asked. Boy: “Because I found it out late, its no use, you won’t feel sorry for me anyway, you will not be sad to hear it, you will not cry for me.” Samantha felt like something pricked her chest and said, “Let’s go inside Leeon...It’s raining hard out here”, Samantha took a few steps but Leeon grabbed her hands and he pleaded, “Please, don’t go”, Samantha turned to him, “Leeon you’re sick! Now lets go inside...”, Samantha shouted. She started to walk away when she heard like something fell hard, then she turned back to see Leeon lying on the ground, she hurried back to him, put Leeon’s head on her lap and tried to wake him up, Leeon slowly opened his eyes and tried hard to smile at her, Boy: “I can feel I can’t stay with you after this very moment...”, Samantha interrupted him, Girl: “Please don’t say that! I told you to go inside, you’ll get sick out here, and the rain is falling hard!” Boy: “But..I like the rain, because of the rain, now I can see you cry for real, you’re right, there’s no difference between them...” Girl: “Can’t you wait for a bit Leeon?! Can’t you stay and wait until I feel something?! Anything?!” Boy: “You know I can’t stay long Samantha...but I want you to know that...even though...at my very last moment...you haven’t felt anything...I’m still happy and I feel lucky to be with you even for a short time...I’ll pray for you...I’ll watch over you...” Girl: “Please stop saying that Leeon! You’re not going to leave me!” Boy: “...Even though I’m not the first one to feel your love and your care, even though I cannot make it ‘til that day came...I’ll still wait” Samantha felt something she never felt before... Girl: “Please don’t say those words! Please don’t leave me!” The rain was starting to disappear; Leeon is closing his eyes because he could feel his head aching. Boy: “I love you Samantha, I’ll always do...until forever” Leeon stopped for awhile and was surprised to see a tear dropping from Samantha’s eyes, she started to cry. Leeon felt so much pain in his head, he started shouting and screaming and crying, the nurses saw them and hurried to Leeon to bring him back to the hospital, Samantha hurried with him to his room and said to him, “Please don’t die! Please don’t leave! please stay!”, the doctor bring Samantha out of Leeon’s room, she could hear his cry and was shouting her name, Samantha looked at him from the window of his room and saw him trying to break free from the doctor and the nurse. Samantha felt the heaviness on her chest because of Leeon’s shout like she was on his position, she cried even harder as Leeon suffer from pain...
At that night, Leeon died...
After a week, Samantha visited Leeon’s grave it’s been a week before she decided to go to the cemetery. LOVING MEMORY OF Leeon Madrigal Born: Feb. 14, 1987 Died: Nov. 5, 2007 She saw a letter that was written by Leeon for her, she was still reading the opening but she can’t help her self not to cry... Dear Samantha,
It wasn’t that easy for me to live you with so much pain, when you were holding me, and asking me not to leave you, I saw you cry…No… It’s not the rain, but real tears falling from your eyes. It was worth it for me to wait so long…thank you…thank you very much for the times that we’re together…and for the last moment of my life, you let me feel that I’m important to you…I want you to know that I love you so much, even though you cannot love me back, even though you can’t love me the way I do…please don’t waste your tears on me…I know you’ll meet someone who will love you the way I did…I want you to take care of yourself…and I want you to be brave for every heartaches you get… Goodbye Samantha… Love,
Leeon
She realized all her mistakes and kept on crying... “You’re right Leeon, all along I had loved you, but it was hidden for so long, until I lose you...that’s when I realized that you were very important to me...you did not teach me anything, you just let me feel it...you never forced me anything, that’s why I slowly learned...I feel sorry for my self to lose someone like you...and for that, I will never forget you...I had regretted so many things...I never said I love you, I never showed you I care. I guess I was afraid to take chances, afraid to love and get hurt, I did not give you and myself a chance...I’m sorry, and I love you…”
Sandara Park, the member of 2NE1 and once a popular star here in the Philippines sang her once famous song In or Out in front of the Korean live audience. She sang it in its original lyrics. It seems Sandy haven't forgotten the Filipino love
After the success of Google's Android Mobile OS, Google announced late Tuesday that it is working on a Linux based Chrome OS as an operating system for the Web. It will be available late in 2010. Details after the jump According to Google blog
Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we're already talking to partners about the project, and we'll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve.
Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. We're designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds. The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web. And as we did for the Google Chrome browser, we are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don't have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. It should just work.
Google Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips and we are working with multiple OEMs to bring a number of netbooks to market next year. The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel. For application developers, the web is the platform. All web-based applications will automatically work and new applications can be written using your favorite web technologies. And of course, these apps will run not only on Google Chrome OS, but on any standards-based browser on Windows, Mac and Linux thereby giving developers the largest user base of any platform.

Toy collecting is a hobby that involves money, patience and luck. You need money to buy those expensive toys, you need patience to wait for the right timing in aquiring rares and you need luck to find those rares. What exactly is toy collecting? Why do grown-ups like me still collect toys? Often do I hear people comment that toys are just for kids and people who are old enough to become a father are losers and childish. They are dead wrong. Toy collecting is like any other hobby, like stamps, butterflies, pebbles etc. You take pride in your collection and you recount the experiences you made when getting that piece of collection. Are you an aspiring toy collector? Here are some tips when collecting toys. 1. Toys often categories into two based on their origin, western toys involve Marvel, D.C., McFarlen, NECA, Hasbro and such. eastern toys involve Bandai, Max Factory, Good Smile Company, Takara and such. If you don't give a damn about manufacturers just remember that if it's anime, it's eastern.
2. The value of the toy dereases as you remove them from their packaging. MISB (Mint In Sealed Box) and MOC (Mint On Card) are terms used to classify a well preserved toy on it's original packaging. MIB (Mint In Box) are toys that were previously taken out from the box for some inspection, photo shoot or displayed in a cabinet. Loose toys are toys without the packaging and were stored in a cabinet or a plastic container, and often the value is depreciated based on the wear and tear of the toy itself.
3. Beware of bootlegs or imitations of these toys, as their value is worthless to toy collectors. You can spot a bootleg by it's packaging or the quality of the toy itself. Remember, some stores and individuals sell bootlegs with the ORIGINAL price. Bootleg Alley is one fine example.
4. Displaying your toys and taking pictures of it increases the satisfaction you feel in toy collecting. Being proud of your collection is natural especially if you work hard for it.
Collectors like me have a community we call OtaKai Figure Society. The word came from Otaku, meaning anime enthusiast and Kaibigan, meaning friend, You can visit our website here and you can register for free. Updates on upcoming and available toys can be found here. We can also help you in aquiring that last piece of the collection you always dreamed of. We have a group EB(eyeball) every month that involves group bonding and toy shopping. Topics not even related to toys can also be discussed. Friendly and understanding moderators are there to help you if it's your first time. See you there.
My best friend asked me when will I stop collecting toys, and I answered "When I'm the last person collecting it".
It circulated on the internet like bon-fire. A video showing "MJ's ghost" caught on film during CNN Larry King interview with Jermaine Jackson. Here is the video
But later on was debunked as a mere shadow of one of the crew. See this video:
"It's nice to be important, but it's important to be nice"
I would like to emphasize on this quotation. Many people I know seems to forget that the reason they became famous was because of the people that surrounded them. I know the limelight is very bright, and you tend to be blinded by it. I know people forget their friends and those who made their fame possible. There's this one girl who became famous because of her friends and "fans", and through their word of mouth and web posts, the girl became famous. She became so famous that she distanced herself to the people who once close to her. That girl changed her contact number and seemed to "forgot" to give it her friends. It came to the point that some of her friends started to hate her and started destroying her character behind her back. Who's to blame? What could she have done to prevent this? Will the situation change or she'll just ignore them like she now comfortably do?
There was a famous pop icon who became a very important person despite the scandals. He's none other than the recently deceased king of pop Michael Jackson. If you've been reading ,watching and listening to his life story, you'll tend to know this person. You seem to know the reason behind the scandal and the things he did that triggered the weird meter. First, the child molestation scandal. If you didn't know his childhood, you wouldn't understand why he likes to be around little boys. He was deprived from his childhood, which he tried to experience later in life. Anyway, this is relevant to his will,which shocked the world. He made Diana Ross a guardian to his children when the moment his mother cannot do it anymore. He gave most of his trust funds to his three children, and the children of his borthers and sisters. You see, Michael anticipated his death and ensured that all the people who had helped him have a part of his wealth. Michael is a nice person underneath those plastic surgeries.
Two different people, both famous, both important. Who do you think will leave a mark in the hearts of the people who knew them?
The latest installment of the Transformers movie franchise entitled Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen is a mix of CG eye candy, Megan Fox and anything else. I know a lot of you guys think that this movie is a "bomb". It's a bomb alright, litterally. Heck the whole movie is splattered with explosions every now and then. Even scenes which doesn't require explosions will have one! If you remove all the "explosive" scenes I think the movie will run in an hour and a half. But I guess it IS a Michael Bay film after all. The problem of the film lies in the character development of its cast. Unlike its prequel, this movie revolves around Sam, Optimus and Bumble Bee only, and the rest are really just a supporting cast. Have you seen most of the Autobots or the Decepticons deliver an important plot-related dialogue? And, Jetfire, what the hell have they done to Jetfire?! Sorry no spoilers here so you better watch the movie. The master-padawan..err apprentice relationship has been a cliche this century and Transformers 2 is no exception and oh don't forget the hero complex plot you can find in most Japanese animes out there. These blemishes were compensated by one factor alone...Megan Fox! Come on admit it, she's HOT. Megan Fox walked, changed clothes, ran, jumped, you name it, Megan Fox delivered it intensly hot. These are just my opinion and posting a hate comment really makes you an effin' idiot, a troll and a loser rolled up into one.
Many things happened yesterday, heck I didn't have the enthusiasm to post it due to depression I guess. First of all, Michael Jackson, the king of pop, died due to cardiac arrest. The world is blanketed with sorrow as the pop icon will never do the moonwalk again. Next, Farrah Fawcett from the original Charlie's Angels succumbed to cancer. Finally, my cellphone was stolen from me from Cubao MRT station by a level 99 thief with a max skill level of steal. He managed to get it from inside my bag in the midst of the jam-packed passengers. Take note, I didn't even brought it out in public. But as they say, today is a new day and I do hope it will get better
