I usually do not bite the hands that feed. I mean, Bing has become my home default home screen for firefox! Yes! Searches may not be the best but I like changes once in a while. Google had me for years, if experience is before me, why not take the chance.

Results are way better from Bing, at least thesedays. But what bugs me to try something else before my trial of the test of experience is not even due, is, the number of likes it carries on the front page. I see that MSN will probably never use goggle+ inspire of the social app is cleaner, faster and has more features as Facebook is now even more heavy. How many likes do you see on bing.com. If u do not see what I mean, look at the bottom next to Facebook link. If you are running for so long and you have that Manu likes, it’s time to create your own social network. Do you fear that it would be lost just like that of Q&A launched when Yahoo!Answer was enjoying a success. When you know you have users of your web services such as email, would be a waste to give to users something from your own space? I do not think so.

When giants compete, users win. Why is that Facebook has to be the only option. How about MSN rolling out it’s own social that’s just plain vanilla and nothing else. Get users that are distracted by volume jargons such as apps and craps that only couch potatoes use?

Anyways, for bing to carry a Tiny like tells me MSN is in the process of using google+ or roll out it’s own social site. Go MSN!

Depending on your data plan it turns that you could be killing some of your data usage just by downloading apps without Wifi Access. But, who is always in Cafe or at office that allows you to use phone all the time–for I am assuming you are just like me, App fanatic and a gamer. I’ve noticed that Apple’s Appstore allows you to download anything (apps) which are about 20MB or less in size. To keep track of free apps and price drops see my earlier posts.

Some buy Iphone instead of replacing a PC all together. If all they do is check their emails and browse website and here and there visit video sharing sites such as Youtube. This is a cheaper and affordable replacement that comes with extra. With this you have a PC and a phone. What’s missing here is a DVD Drive. But that could go away apps like Netflix and others.

I like to check the free apps and Appstore (the app) itself once in a while to see what’s up and what’s down. Free games ? Why not have’um. The only complain from gamers like me is that when iPhone was developed; did they ever not thought of gamers wanting full feature of Iphone 4 ? File Size?

– See you next time

p.s. Enjoy games. Play Responsibility.

People have pondered over this question for as long as we can remember. Many claim that even our parents  genes will have affect on your personality and no doubt happiness is part of that.  We we live a life; everyday, filled with sorrow and anger, it will only have severe consequences on our health, family matters. So the question is how can we make our-self happy all the time and more importantly, can we make others happy too?

For some, even a bad Weather can make them unhappy or sad or feel sick. For others, they take it like; wow, I gotta see this amazing storm that’s coming my way. It’s your perception right there in the HEAD that will either help you pull you chick bones or not. Happiness doesn’t live in a cave.

I have had a problem being happy with a lot of personal issues; nothing to share here only to make some of you cry. But I have learned through the years that happiness is something you can always have and it’s so easy, you don’t need buy a DVD or some books that might happen to slip away to the New York Times Best Seller.

So, what’s the formula? Never act your age.

Yes. Never act your age when you are doing the adult jobs such as working, thinking, and even playing games. By this also mean, don’t tell yourself you are old; for every living creature will eventually go through that OLD cycle and die. Truth is there. So from now on, try to giggle, put a little but of smile, laugh even when you chatting with a friend etc. Worried that someone might think you are gay ? There goes your stereotype-typo thought.  Gay means happy in dictionary to me. Be happy. Also be strong. Strong here implies that you have a good health or are trying to improve it. So, once in a while, act like a kid; remember your back days; how innocent you were and you had nothing to worry. Put that thought when you seem to have a stone placed on your chest. Giggle!

If you are un-hahppy because the way your life is going, nothing seems to move, stuck, or you can’t make ends meet, or you are going from one job to another. Consider all of them as part of your experience. This blog and I believe that LORD created every creature here to experience life; to be rich, to be poor, to suffer, to get out of suffering, to heal, hurt, learn, to teach. All those words may not mean much but it has two sides in my view;  Don’t be one sided. Experience all the good things in life as you go on.

Finally, if you are unhappy because of your medical conditions etc, seek for doctors help.

Talk to you soon.

Have you ever tried to do something really unique but have a question, has anyone alreayd done it or is the thing that I just made is a copyrighted?

Here I am focusing unique as something that’s never been done before, whether it’s a film you are making or just a cartoon character or even just a paint work to share on your blog.  It’s easy to grab someone’s hard-worked content and modify and make it look like yours. You simply stole that person’s time, effort, and made him lose his motivation too, and above all you became nothing more than a stealer or rather should I say, a sinner.

If you want to be Genius, it takes time.  And unless you are lucky with brain power. Even so, there are so many people on this planet and everyone is working and trying to do what they love to do.  For example, you create a cartoon character perhaps using a free software pencil, and out of the blue in no time and it’s no where in the world, it’s yours, and you did it well with awesome cartoon character that fits to your requirement  as well as (perhaps) does what it is designed to do, for example, entertain. To me, it sounds, you just got lucky! Creative and Uniqueness times take, and I often combine those two words as Genius. Are you one of the or would you like to be one of them ? ? Yes you can.

You could be spending hours creating something that might have been done and even copyrighted.

So, it makes sense to go a little research even before you sketch or write. to show your talent and perhaps become that world changer, a person that the world needs so desperately. You can’t be a duplicate person unless of course you had a twin brother who had the original work and won’t mind giving it to you !

Do these first,

• Start searching for what you are about to do. Has it been done before ?.  If it’s an art work, someone alreayd did it ? Stop and start creating your own. Don’t take the nose or eye or anything — give some respect for the person who must have worked so hard just like you are doing right now. Genius is long process.
• If it’s the film be it a short film for your youtube project or Facebook or any other video sharing sites, do a search before you create one. You can always do the same film in a different way but if the film is a copyrighted, your work is not going to valuable to the audience; for they have seen it already in another form. Will they like your form ? What would they think of you ? It’s you to you. If I were you, I would try to do something that’s not been done before. This not only helps you motivate yourself, it also helps motivate others.
• Creating Music or writing lyrics – There are tons of sites to check this out. Before you write, why not read the entire world of lyrics and even dance with songs that are out there. Cross culture songs have been copied or remixed. We, users know about them. But perhaps, it is done through approval. If you are doing some musical tracks remix, which is  you can ask for permission before you begin to make it public. Even to make it public, you must have the written approval. It’s never a good idea to share something that’s unapproved or doesn’t belong to you. And creating music is a very complex process and artists must earn their bread and butter. So, don’t be the bread stealer.
• Checkout with Open Source community where you can share or even use someone’s work for your project. If you do so, don’t forget to see their license often, as users can change their original license later. For any commercial production, you have to be willing to spend. Of course, you if have money, you can buy many products such as animated characters or even the music studio. Always look for TOS (Terms of Service) Even sites that say “Royalty Free” but is it free to share on the web or just share inside home ?

Ok. Ok. Enough said.

So, where should you start going from here.

Followings are great places to start out.

Please enjoy. Links may open in a new window
so you can continue to find some good posts in this blog.

• IMDB - I have used this site like for anything, deciding which movie to rent, to watch and also to learn about the film industry. A detailed database of entertainment and educational resource offered in video format can not get better than this. Head over there and create your account and use it to find something or nothing to get start creating that nothing.

• Yahoo Answers - It’s was necessary for yahoo to win this new section, whether it has won the race or not, it’s worth going over there. You can ask questions even on copyright issues and there are handful of yahoo users willing to answer to your question. I love it and I use it often. Before you trust answer, I would Google it for sure. Some answers here are misleading just the way Internet is. There is good people as well as people who are not up to that level.

Wikipedia – Since it’s birth, almost every top search engine brings it up for major search. There is a good reason. Many people still don’t believe that what wiki says is true, but you can count on it, for there are a lot of users who contribute, edit and make this site very resourceful and often you will find any topic in in-depth mode. Something very useful when you are doing research.

Search engine is a great way  to start : You know their names so google for the thing you are about to do. Does it pop up ? If not, does it show in another location such as videos or blogs. Keep searching. It takes time to know whether you are about to create something that’s never been done before.

If you are into animation, remember everything counts; character(s), the texture and and storyline. To be Genius, I say To be Unice, it takes time and don’t worry. We gotta a handful of time. And, if you give back to the Internet (which I truly believe is a global community) your Creative and Unique Content, they will surely appreciate it, even if your effort didn’t grab their attention or make them laugh or what-ever your aim was.

Doing something that’s not done before is always a great idea;
You should keep that idea with you and work on it
and build something for the global community.
Your work will last longer and you will surely be motivated to do even better.

– You are already genius.

First thing we all should know is what we mean by HD.

Let’s cut this chain ASAP and get down to business and find resources that might help us. For those who think this is a junk, I hope you don’t throw away by 3 months of research and yet still not being able to afford one. And when I do, I believe the comments you leave here will surely be the best to help decide, for the PC sells and comparisons are as confusing, frustrating and at times, boring as hell.

When Dell announced Aline ware M11x, I thought. This is it. But i fell short because, I could be buying it as it is. As I went through upgrade process to grab that Adobe Premier Element 8, the basic wouldn’t do it. So I had upgrade to Intel I3. Cost went up. Also this 599 seembed like nothing more than another advertising– reduce this, reduce that and price it ans make it look like it’s one sale. What are you going to with a hard disk that’s not even 500 GB. That’s what M11x had when it went on sale for 599. Knowing a friend of mine owes one. The story went like this. He had a tax refund, always dreamed of Alien -ware. And bought it. The top of the line for around 2,700 and i asked him, why ? “This is my girl friend, I can play all sorts of games watch stunning videos.” Besides, i have no family, no girlfriend, so this alien-ware is what is what I have. I was laughing as he unpacked his alien -ware so proudly. With it’s built in facial detection, it made me feel like I knew nothing about PC. Face detection and being able to change colors of your keyboard ?. For what? Gamging for sure! Let me cut it here. While Alineware is made for video gaming, you can’t rule out the possiblity that it would be a great HD video editing notebook you can carry anywhere you want. It also has intelligents at some display so your batter goes further when you don’t need the extreme graphic. Check it out, at http://www.alineware.com Not too long ago this was a separate company but Dell had to had it under it’s belt. When you do configuration, be sure to see if you can run Adobe Premier. With basic, it did not even show up that option. So I figure it needed a faster processor like i7 or i3 should do.

Most games are demanding, in terms of computing power and graphics. So any notebook that plays latest games in pure HD will surelybe your answer to the topic of this post : Which notebook for HD Video Editing. By HD I am going 1920 x 1080 with .m2ts file and AVCHD video format.

Let’s keep a note of the things we should have on our PC:

• At least 1 GB Dedicated Graphic Card. After all built in graphic cards such as the Intel HD often used on laptop won’t be enough. You really need a fully dedicated graphic card. Dell has done great one this notebook, I have yet to find another laptop that provides this. Hard Disk M11x with 250 ? This is a joke. You will be spending money for external hard disk. Go for at least 500 GB. As a HD video editor, you will not only need one app to try, perhaps over the course of your learning process, you might want to buy more apps for effects etc. So that tiny 250 GB Hard disk was there only for a sale, $599. Dell really did not do anything on so called Cyber Monday, but what they did, give them a small chunk of pie and call it a big pie– so you all HD video editors;  go eat it and for the rest, it was good– see the review of the the M11x for its decision making. But if you aren’t into doing any video editing, the deal was worth it. If you are rich, there other variants of Alienware all the way upto $2,000 depending on which processor you chose and how much hard disk you want and a whole lot of accessories.
• Apple Thin Air - It didn’t impress me much by Ads– only because of its Graphic Component like Intel HD which seems to be near 1GB but its often available to the system in 500 to 700MB. That really sucks. I think the designers were geared towards making this product as thin as possible just to make it Air. Has anyone lifted this notebook by blowing on it !
• HP – Often people call it affordable, but there are some serious notebooks here for HD editing. Take a look around. The general rule of the tumb, what you pay is what you get. Period. Look for HP ENVY Series from i3 to I7 processors– expect prices to go up.
• Asus Also makes great products from desktop to notebook. Have a look at their offerings. Awards don’t lie.
• Gateway’s NV97c50u comes close to all we have talked here. It has 1GB Dedicated Graphic card and everything you would expect.

• From Sony Vio Z, F, and EA, and others will work, try to upgrade the processor such as Intel® Core™ i3-370M processor (2.40GHz) or Intel Core i7, and if possible get 1 to 2G Graphi Cards instead of the Intel HD. Sony has bundled Adobe Premier Element 8 and Photos 8. Adding processor, memory (4GB) and everything else will surely make it way to the top around $1000 or even $2000. Invest what you can but following are a few tips.

To be able to do HD video editing at a speed that satisfies you, you need a notebook with at least these configurations:

• Intel Mother Board. AMD is fine but many have complained that Pcs with AMD Processors heats like crazy, could that mean a shorter life time of your PC? I haven no clue.
• Intel Processor i3 or I7 or any that at least provides you with 2.4 or beyond MHZ Performance. Otherwise the video rendering will take forever.
• 4 to 8 GB Dedicated RAM
• 1 to 2 GB Dedicated Graphic Card
• A lot of of USB Ports, Card Records of all sorts, WIFI, Bluetooth
• PC with bunbled software such as Sony Vegas, could be cool, for you can start editing right away.
• Screen size should not matter if you can hook your notebook to a bigger one, and you can get some from Walmart for around $100. If your purpose is to create a stunning video and share it on the web, you will probably want to see your original work before uploading since you can’t upload the same work twice. Even with 11  to 15 Inch display you can see what you have produced so the screen size should not matter.
• Hard Disk. Programs that import, export and render HD Videos use Hard Disk like crazy (They could be creating cache file– a duplicate file just to make editing preview realistic, or your hard disk could be filled with lots of HD videos which often have a larger file size. ) So try to get at least 500 GB with another external drive so you can clean up your C: drive by sending the recoded videos to that drive upon final production.
• Ensure that cheap may not come with even a DVD disk drive. So inspect everything (often by clicking on the Technical Tab brings up a whole new information, read it thoroughly) Most HD Videos are in AVCHD in formats often known as .m2ts or just .mts
• Video Editing Software. Does the notebook you are buying gives you the latest versions of Sony Vegas or Adobe Premier or Power Director software. If so, grab it. You will need to buy them. If it’s been bundled, look for the version number, if they are bundle a software that’s older, make a request how much it would cost to get the latest version.

Hope these few rants help you decide your HD notebook quest. As for me, I am using power director 8 on a pc that was brought 3 years ago with 2 MB Ram and Intel HD graphics. The only thing I do is, save every now and then while editing, the go to sleep when the PC starts rendering my movie! Wake up the next day, viola! File is ready upload to youtube or DVD.

My concept has been :  just because there is a new car in the market, it doesn’t mean you need to get it. Cay you try to with what you have  When this PC gives up, I will buy one, but do need some help from experts like you in determining which one would be enough. I would appreciate your feedback.

Talk to you soon.

If you have any questions, I will respond as soon as I can. Thank you so much for reading and I hope you found some reading useful.

I’ve had headaches, backaches and even diarrhea using IE since the last 3 years. To combat my aches, I turned to Firefox. I am loving it ! But I tried Google Chrome and it was faster but later I learned that since I broke the Internet Explorer by using a Proxy that doesn’t exist on the planet, Google Chrome won’t run.

Since I share my PC with other people, I turn off the Internet Explorer, (i.e. with admin account, I do this and IE won’t work. Just perfect for me because I don’t like it. If I count  the number of Adware and Spyware I got from Internet browsers, IE ranks #1.

Here is what I did to stop IE.

When I need to do windows update. I remove the proxy server and it works.

When I have the above setting here is what I get

Google Chrome is DEAD.

Safari is DEAD too.

Firefox works.

Chrome is fast. Yes, it’s faster. But the fear of leaving the door open for IE makes me scared to use Chrome. I hope Chrome becomes bigger in File Size (I noticed how small it is. Why? Because it usage the IE functions. Please get bigger, even faster, even better… Go Chrome, Become Stand Alone !

Well, everyone has a different schedule. Soccer is taken like a high school game over here in the United States. Only a few channels broadcast FIFA games here. Even for the folks of under-developed countries, soccer is available (all matches) on a local channel without burning a hole in their wallet.

Watching a soccer match in the U.S. is like adding another bill either on your cable or if online, then on your credit card. Even so, will you be able to watch the match or just get a text message saying, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOL would be enough ?

I picked these resources and thought this is exactly what you might need if your schedule is like mine (unable to watch most of the games)

If you have iphone, lukcy you! You can get live scores and may be sneak into some sites and watch the fifa live (still sneaking into such sites is illegal and i doubt the data coverage will blow your wallet. AT&T says unlimited but there is a limit on data (2GB per month) so check your usage if you are watching/listening heavy content such as videos and audios from the web.

It’s all about money, so these guys were able  to bid and now it’s upto you to find out which game is where ? Puzzling ha ? Here is a list I found.

• ABC
• ESPN
• ESPN2

And of course the 3d bla bla on ESPN3D or something like that but I don’t know how many of U.S. are really going to watch it when they can’t even show up the support for their team. Game has started. I have yet to see an American with a U.S. Team Gear ? What’s up with you all ? Amidst worldcup, there are tons of other local games including the starting of PGA Tour. OMG! My brain can’t handle it.

Why do americans need a sport where you have to have lots of scores ? Any idea on this ? The reason why soccer is never popular in the states is because students love them and as they grow-up, they are influenced by other games that perhaps gives the players higher salary ? Now that’s my point of view.

To get to anywhere near the final for U.S., It has to start from ground zero. Suspend the so called Superbowl for one year, and put “Major Leage Soccer” in it’s place. and Let us see what happens. Perhaps things will change. If a game is all about money and advertising, there are lots of time slots for Soccer too. Pre-show, Halftime, Post-show. And if you still are hungry for Ads, your soccer could be different than the rest of the  world. Ok. Bring the 100M to 50M and get lots of goals if that’s whats stopping you from supporting your own team.

I know I get carried away so easily. Back to the point.

• send a text message like this :
• WORLDCUP to 698698     (to get goal result.)
• Iphone users can goto http://www.livescore.com/soccer/iphone/
• No live soccer, but news and craps from http://www.itv.com/sport/football/fifaworldcup/mobile/
• youtube ? well, you aren’t allowed to any copyrighted materials there. so the only thing that might stay for a while for you to see would be goal or highlights. But still you won’t be watching any live coverage.

So there goes. Working and Keeping up with FIFA 2010 Africa. Is so easy. Right ? Why goto yahooooooooo when fifa has done it better than ever before. For everything, goto fifa.com . There are still lot of things undone on FIFA too, why the heck you can’t sort the schedule by clicking on the title ? Oh well, it’s just the round of 32 who cares ? So, here is one for you. Day by day,

I like dreams just as you do. A dream;  a lot of so called underdogs will stay, those who called themselves hero in FIFA will go back home. I think, this year, FIFA belongs to a team that has worked harder, plays the sport like it should be (TEAM PLAY). Which one will it be?

TTYL

I’m a gameaholic and PC is all I have.

When it comes to playing modern games, manufacturers assume everyone owns the ultimate PC. Isn’t that a crazy fact. Even the latest most sold game FIFA 10 requires  much better than the recommended system to enjoy the full visual experience. Tell me if I am wrong. What is the  point of playing a game in  minimum requirements; characters may look like GHOSTs, game play may suck and you feel you had spent a little more on your laptop or PC.

These days, we want to carry our gadgets and laptops are no exceptions.
Most are budget and when we buy our computer, we don’t think about the purpose. Later we start wondering if games could kill some time or giving us some enjoyable moments or even could educate us. Games slowly enter into our lives in our PC experience.

Look at those manufacturing sites. They all show PC category somewhere– at last. Does it mean that games for PC is near its death zone ?

Games listed here can easily be googled; found on  the Internet. So goggle`um.

Let’s go. Games that I’m playing work great even on this lousy laptop.

• FIFA 09 – just because there is new one out, dont’ have to go grab it. FIFA 09 wins FIFA 10 in many levels when it comes to BUDGET. Yes, don’t flap me for a few extra features that FIFA 10 has that FIFA 09 lacks. Yes, reduce everything from resolution to 3D grass to even the Refree. Play and you will surely enjoy it.
• FLASH Games – these are surely the best to go for but if you love game pad such as logitech, its difficult (or should I say next to impossible) to get a FLASH game that works with a game pad.
• Allie Arena – open source action packed game, FREE. what more would you expect. Runs great even on a BUDGET PC.
• Think MARIO will cost you something, try Secret Maryo Chronicles; it’s free and you will be hooked.
• Fall Out (both versions) although version runs great.
• Need for Speed PRO STREET – online game play seems to be history; Just under 10 bucks this one is yours if you download from the EA store. Supports Game Pad such as logitech and game play is awesome. Just make sure to reduce some of the gra phic level.
• Volvo racing game – OMG, did they really make this for users ? It takes forever to load and since its free there are beautiful flash screen even when you decide you won’t want to play anymore; i.e. you hit the exit button. Anything FREE should be okay though, It runs good enough but you will go for another game sooner or later.
• Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 – works with game pad but you must reduce resolution and other graphic details to get it running smoothly. Try landing in places like LUKLA or other airports. Games like these require a lot of time, so unless you have an hour or so, what’s the fun being up in the sky for less than an hour ?
• Look for older version of games instead of new one. Reason ? They probably don’t demand much system requirement. Not all old games have only keyboard as the input, you might find games that support gamepad. Here are some, try older version of the games and check again the system requirement; Tomb raider legend, Halo, Simpsons, Metal Gear, Lego Star Wars, Grand Theft Auto 3, Prince of Persia, etc.
• FEAR (is FREE) – it’s a multiplayer online game and being FREE, I wouldn’t ask more. Try it if you like.
• Abuse – it’s not what the name really says. It’s a shooting game with a great game play.
• Gothic 2 – another great game that runs superbly on a budget pc.
• Halo – older versions run awesome.
• Grim Fandango – an Adventure game that has a nice game play, runs great on a budget PC too!

You can probably do your own research and find even more games. It makes sense to get a PC that has at least these to get any PC game to run the way they were meant to; to enjoy fully. If you are going to play a lot of games, never buy a budget laptop. Period.

Go get with…

• 4GB RAM
• Dual Core
• 1GB to whatever more you can handle Graphic Accelerator card. You could argue with me 256MB card or 5K card will be fine, but believe me– want realistic game play ? The higher you go, the better it is.
• Wide Screen monitor.
• any PC brand is your brand.
• Large Hard Disk Capacity

Price : Laptop anywhere from $1K to $2K, Desktop $1K perhaps.

Tips :

• Playing games without the game pad is like playing DOS games. Before you buy, see system requirements. If you don’t like the GAMEPAD, then, what games are you planning on playing ?
• Instead of getting a DVD or CD, buy online now called Electronic Download or Direct Download. I would see if they have any extended feature you can buy or is given for free such as download period. What if your laptop needs a system restore and you need to download the game again ? Don’t worry. These days, most of such store have their download manager; a tiny program you can which will help you download the program. Ensure to add/check how long you can download. Adding $5 to a game to ensure you can get it for another 5 years isn’t a bad deal. Most direct downloads don’t need CD. So the hassle of having to insert CD every time you play a different game would be thing of the past!

Ready to play games ?

List of TOP software manufacturers and links to their PC game site:

• Eastore.com – thank goodness, the PC is on the top here under platform.
• activision.com – lot of games from yet another popular game maker
• Ubisoft – I don’t know if I am right but when it comes to fighting or should I say Arcade games, Ubi has more games than others. Are they all born from the Prince of Persia game engine that’s hidden for years to come. Would the Internet community benefit if that game engine were to be shown ? LOL !!
• Sega.com – The sound of the name makes me feel like I was in a gaming zone sitting behind a real looking car. Remember those SEGA racing games you played back in 1992 or even in1986 ? I love their racing game as much as I love the Arcade once as well.
• Microsoft - for me the name is more of a PC software rather than games, but I was once hooked with the game Midtown madness. What is lacking on this, their store or should I say website (really?) makes me dizzy cause, look at the other game sites full of video and attraction. I guess Microsoft wants you to go else where to buy their game products. I’m surely loving the flight simulator and nothing more from this one.
• PatchProducts – When it comes to puzzle or Educational games, I think of this one. Check it out!
• ValveSoftware – click on the games on the site.  Among the latest popular games comes, here it comes… Left for Dead from the maker.
• RockStargames – who can forget this name ? even as I write today, GTA is still the most popular PC game; forget what user ratings mean. GTA3 ran pretty fast and even with good graphic on a budget PC. Loaded like as if it wasn’t game at all. Check the site now later for any other games, I sure will.
• Blizzard - who can’t play enough of the WARCRAFT ? You need or should I say YOU MUST. check out this site. There is a saying now, people have two gaming lives; the other on online. Where is your gaming life ?
• 3drealms – I played the NUKEM Manhanton project, 2D with awesome game play.  I guess it’s rated R for the dialogure more than the Violence ? Are you ready for FOREVER ? Check out the site!
• Eidos – The Eidosinteractive actually. It rocks for the shooting game TOM Raider; among the most selling PC games. Visit the site and meet LARA — the latest; ready for demo.
• Bungie – Hello world. Os, sorry, Halo Halo Halo world. I’m talking about the latest one. Halo 3. Call me crazy. I love the title when I visit Halo Everytime I visited the site Bungie.net the title changed. One time it said, if you are good your mama is classy lady. LOL !! go grab some Halos at Bungie.net
• Idsoftware - The doom lives here. One heck of a game that’s addictive enough to close this blog and start playing DOOM right now. Peace out!

It’s so many to list and I thought I give you everything; sort out the needles from the hay stack.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_game_manufacturers

For me, these manufacturers are just like humans having their own unique characters like the big and short nose, big eyes or small ones. Short or tall. No matter which game you buy, if your PC ain’t meeting the requirement, you ain’t gonna have fun.

What is life ?

It’s a pretty touch question to answer even if you are a human being. Believe me.

First, let’s define the term then carry on.

“Life (cf. biota) is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have self-sustaining biological processes (“alive,” “living”), from those which do not^[1][2] —either because” read more from the WIKI

So for a life to be life, it must have biological process. By that anyone would understand that a life would have to be living; eating; breathing; and what-not and everything.

For me, life is nothing but an experience you are given by the LORD. Yes, experience the first touch of fire — when you are a kid, stand in front of a class room beside a teacher and looked down on the floor, for you forgot to do your homework, as you grew older, you made mistakes on the way. Hey, nobody is perfect. Perhaps, even your marriage had trouble, did it got washed away and now the only things you have are nothing but hopes ?

I asked a friend of mine. What’s life ? He says, It’s beautiful. It’s wonderful.

Yeah, right. But then he added more,

It’s the people that make your life miserable. Life given to you is beautiful. It’s how you take it from there on.

I thought it was pretty interesting so I decided to right down a note to myself, yes, it’s on a piece of paper on my bag and the title of the notebook says:

Write 3 things that you are thankful for the day.

For today,

• I thank you for visiting this blog and how nice you found it. Thank you again.

• I thank the lord for giving me a day to live and experience. Boy it was busy at work. Busier than usual. A bit of tooooo much experience really.

• I thank for some angry customers, for they must have their own reasons of waiting to be served. I thank for their willingness to eat in-spite of waiting for an hour. Yes, eating, fresh food, cooked right-in-front of their nose; — Japanese Hibachi table that is.

Now, coming back to the point, what’s life ?

We are pretty sure that everyone will have different answers.

A long time ago, a question popped up and a female friend said, life is a bunches of bs tied together then you die.

I think she was depressed and her answer is write or wrong is for her to decide, for it’s her life. Perhpas my question is stupid.

I think life is beautiful, and if your life is not beautiful — perhaps, other people are making it not right. Should I put it like they are making your life miserable and you don’t have the time or want to notice it.  Watch out! Life is beautiful, but others make it worse. But what if the life is beautiful and others were the reasons for it.

I’ve got a job for you for tomorrow or next day or right now. What the F ?

Say hello to three  new people you meet today.

Smile and take control of your life.

Don’t let people be the reason for not making your life beautiful. When I say people, count every single one of them — including your family members.

Are there people who are making your life not beautiful ? Count them! Know them! Do something about it. Avoid if possible, or become friends, or find ways to divert those to your advantage.

Well, it’s bed time now.

See you soon.

A friend of mine has requested a pretty interesting topic which I might post soon. It’s about Hibachi, the Japanese Cooking In-front thing. I’m not going to write much but if you love to eat or want to be a chef, you are going to love this post, perhaps in multi-part.

I would love it, if you could add/bookmark or subscribe to this blog. Topics will surely vary but I won’t divert the main theme; “LIFE is an EXPERIENCE ? “.

No matter where you live, or what else you are doing, your life is life so long you are happy. There goes another definition or twist.

Is happiness enough for life or should I say, will it follow upon uncountable hurdles which you must experience second by second ?

See ya
