MARRIAGY

I finally meet Aprile’s older sister, Cherry, today when I visited her mom in the hospital. She was really okay and fun to be with, but I knew that there would be a problem when the thing called religion came up. As most of you know, I’m a Mormon and Aprile is a Catholic--“a devout Catholic.” We really stayed away from the issue, but I knew it would come out eventually.

So, the visit went well. When it was time for Cherry to leave, Aprile went down with her. It took some time for her to come back. I asked what they did, and she said they had a chat about a lot things, including me. I, being ever the curious asked what said about me. Everything was good until my religion came up. Her sister went a little apprehensive about me being of a different religion, and she was quite worried about Aprile changing her religion. She told her sister that everything was okay and she had no plans of changing hers, and it wasn’t a problem in our relationship and that I was okay with it (I really am).

We ended up talking about our plans for the future, and then she told me that she dreamed about having a Catholic marriage and already had a priest in mind.

Don’t get me wrong here. I would marry her no matter what, but I think I’ll burn to ashes once I step in a “church” at the moment. That might’ve been overly exaggerated, but God and I have not been in good terms for a while now. The idea of me getting married under any religion is not sitting very well with me. I still believe in everything about my faith, but there’s still this hate (excuse me for the word) inside me, that part of me that’s hurt, alone, bitter, and keeps on asking why. It’s funny that these feelings are still with me after all that’s been said and done. I know a lot of people would be sad and confused, but that’s just how I feel right now.

For Aprile, I love you and still love to marry you in the future. Don’t worry it about I’ll think of something. WUBBERS!!!

First, Mika's new video, which made me have a great time watching. It's very entertaining and "happy". It also has a really good message. Even though, he and this video reminds of the Freddie Mercury and Fat-bottomed Girls, its really a matter of perspective I guess, as long as your having fun and happy I see nothing wrong with it.



On my side of the planet, a very good example why I really don't watch local movies. It's suppose to be a action movie but it turns out to be a parody of all good action movies. Exploding obviously fake helicopters, heroes that could stand a beating would kill a human, able to shoot an automatic rifle with one hand, and of course crappy lines. Ito lang ang masasabi ko, SAGING LANG SANGING LANG ANG MAY PUSO!!!

Fantastic Four

Just got to see Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. At first, I wasn't expecting much from it , but it turned out pretty well. I liked the way they tried to stick to the comics as much as possible and the surfer was pretty cool.



I even liked how they portrayed Galactus, considering he was a giant that looked like this.



The only thing that weirded me out was when the surfer brought the Invisible Woman back from the dead. I never thought he could do that. All in all it was a pretty good movie and worth your money.

Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering
experience…I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you
imagine. Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm
on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you Sing Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with
people who are reckless with yours. Floss Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes
you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with
yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you
succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your
life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don’t. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone. Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe
you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your
choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body,
use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people
think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever
own.. Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for
good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you
should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and
lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you
knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live
in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize
that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were
noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might run out. Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will
look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who
supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of
fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the
ugly parts and recycling it for more than
it’s worth. But trust me on the sunscreen…

I found some old songs in my small collection. I never thought that I have this song and as I was listening to it some really good thoughts especially on the sunscreen :)

Heroes

I've been playing Heroes of Might and Magic V for awhile now. Its a turn-based strategy game (for us who does not have lightning reflexes and sometimes what to eat while playing :>). It;s also one of those games that you start a map when there is still daylight and half-way through the map it's already dark.

It's not as good as the first three but it still better than the fourth. I'm still a long way to go and I actually just downloaded the expansion.
