anime name: Full Metal Alchemist
Main Characters:
- Edward Elric & Alphonse Elric
The story is about the Elric brothers, two alchemist who tried to ressurect their mother but they failed to do so.
There’s a so called rule in alchemy, the “Law of Conservation”, to gain something you need something of equal value.
Ed’s right arm and left foot was taken and Al’s body was taken too because of that law and failure. Now they are in search for the Philosopher’s Stone believing that they could retrieve their lost body. But in the end the brothers were separated because Ed wants to save his brother Al so he sacrificed his life to return Al back to the real world. Al was back but Ed was brought to the other side of the gate, He was brought to the world where alchemy is not used.
I think there will be a season 2 of this series (i hope so).

Jomar’s Point of View:
The law of conservation is somewhat true; to gain something you need something of equal value. You must give of equal value if you want something, in short it’s like a “trade” or “give and take”. Just like when you want something big, you must work hard for it to attain that. Or if something was lost or gone, a new one would come.
In the story, it is a bit sad for the part of the brothers because they were separated but the older brother’s love for his younger brother proved that any trials would come they are still one in heart. I also realize that not all trades are happy or fair because as what the anime was, the brothers were separated by that trade.
you must watch it.. It’s a 5star anime.
April 28, 1991 when my younger sister was born. She was the second of the three siblings and the only daughter in the family. It is her birthday today. I was just remembering her. She’s not here anymore with us, she’s with the almighty now in heaven. I pity her but at the same time i admired her. She had this disease when she was still a baby. Mom said that it was caused by our maid when she was still a baby. Ever since she cannot walk, speak or even talk. All she does was lying down in bed, eat, and sleep. As if she was still an innocent child. She died at march 13, 2004 at the age of 12.
When she’s still alive, i didn’t realize of having a younger sister. I know that i have a big sin to her that i really regret. But when she passed away, i realized that i long for a sister. I don’t care if younger or older sister as long as i have a sister. I just missed my lil sis. I have no one to talk to when it comes to gurl stuffs, not with my mom because she is so busy with work. I envy when i see brothers and sisters that are together, it reminds me of how i really long for a sister.
When i met or know some girl friends, i treat them special, I treat them with respect as what i give to my lil sis when she’s still alive.
P.S.
thanks ate Raissa (your one good ate for me.)
thanks Rachel (i’ll be a good older brother to you as what i am to my lil sister.)
People often categorize the #1 or the top as the BEST. Some people call their close and loyal friends as BESTFRIENDS. Some people categorize something or someone as BEST if no one could be compared or nothing beats it.
But why still others search for the BEST if they have already found the BEST?
Are they still not contented with the BEST they have?
Some people especially in friendship, even BESTFRIENDS still search for another BESTFRIENDS. Who is/are really their best friends anyway? Some are BESTFRIENDS but the other one shares his/her story to the other friend than the BESTFRIEND, leaving his/her BESTFRIEND just like a decoration friend. Are they really BEST of friend in that manner? What are the criteria of being a BESTFRIEND anyway?
Some people say that they have the BEST machines, gadgets, etc. But why still they buy many expensive things just to find the BEST? Maybe it’s because things are easily replaced because of our technology right now. But why label as BEST if still replace it?
Some married couples say that they found the BEST partner in life, but why many of the couples separate their lives? They have made a promise in the altar but in the end they still separate. They just lied to GOD if that’s the case.
Is the BEST really the BEST?

afternoon: (2pm)
- Me and my two friends started skating (skateboard) from NCCC (uyanguren) to Claveria, there we stop for about an hour to play around. The from Claveria to City Hall we skate, then we stop again beacuse my friend had a business there. After we moved on from City Hall to Matina Town Square (MTS) via bankerhoan bridge, there we stopped and rest a bit. Then we moved on again from MTS to Ecoland via Puna Subdivision, there we skate in a street we called “the long road” because the road is nice and good for skating and it is so long and wide. After from Ecoland, we go back to MTS via the “Long Road” again. From MTS, it was about 4pm, we rode a jeepney going to roxas. After arriving in Roxas, we stopped again and rest for a while, then we walked from Roxas to NCCC (uyanguren) to accompany our friend to his house. From my friends house in NCCC (uyanguren), i walked alone to Gaisano Mall to catch up with my DP friends. When i reached there, we waited for a while for the other members to arrive. When all arrived, we walked from Gaisano Mall to Jikong’s (Torres Street). Upon arriving there, we ordered a liquor named “zombie”. Even i had no dinner, i still drink. But after one pitcher of that liquor, i stopped and bid goodbye to them because i want to go home because i’m tired and hungry. From there, i walked to Acacia to buy a peanut butter bread because i don’t know why but i’m kind of feeling eating peanut butter bread. From Acacia i rode a jeepney to home. After arriving at the “Kanto” of our subdivision, i walked again to reach home. Upon arriving home, i looked for a food but found nothing but bread and milk again. so i ate and drink milk and bread again, and it was about 11pm.
it was so very tiring but a fun adventure for me.
weeeww!! nosebleed ko sa english!! *wipe*
The Philippine’s National Game.
But why is it that people are more interested in other games especially in basketball. Why it is Sepak Takraw is not patronized by many Filipinos? Is it because it is not as exciting as basketball and volleyball or other sports or is it because the sport is not given that much attention?
Sepak Takraw consist of 6-9 members with (3) three players in every round. (3) Rounds of game play with the scores raise to (21) twenty-one. It is somewhat like soccer but the difference is that the ball must not land on the ground. The ball is smaller than the soccer ball and is made up of plastic or “rattan” and not rubber. There are three kinds of players in a field; the “Takong” or the center. It serves as the leader or play maker. It serves the ball if it is in their possession and it also receives the first ball. They are place in the center of the field; the second player is the “Setter”, they set the ball. They can also receive the first ball and sets the ball for the spiker to shoot. They also sets the ball for the center to kick; the third one is the “Spiker”, they serves as the attacker. As the setter sets the ball, the spiker is ready to shoot. And if the spiker is a hard kicker and the setter sets good then the attack would be fierce some and can be countered less.
There are also many techniques in attacking. One common attack would be the “pass”. You just give the ball to the opponent after receiving the first ball to avoid mistakes. The Other attack is the “Head”, using your head to attack. But sometimes it can be dangerous especially if the opponent use their feet in kicking the ball. The semi-powerful attack of this game is the “Bicycle”, the player jumps high then kick the ball almost lying down in the air with a powerful kick and the foot almost reaching or even reaching the head. And the most powerful attack of this game is the “Cartwheel”. Some professionals use this technique to give the best attacks. The player makes a high jump then makes a 360degrees kick or a complete turn bicycle. This attack is also the most dangerous attack of all because if you’re out of balance, it is possible that your head would land first or commit sprain or even break your bones. This attack needs determination and concentration.
Sepak Takraw is a game that could excite the audience but as for now especially in the Philippines, people are more fascinated with basketball and volleyball. Are we greatly influenced with those sports? I mean, it is not bad to be enthusiast with that sport but when it comes to Sepak Takraw, only few are interested. Maybe because it is being covered or not known that much. It is sad to say but when a sepak takraw game is playing, only few audiences would watch. We know that this game does not originate in the Philippines but this is our national game. Why not give it a chance to be acknowledged also as to be a great sport in the Philippines.
In this generation now there are many gadgets appearing every month, every week or even every day. And music is in every gadget that is made. There are plenty of ways to play your favorite music; disc man, mp3 & mp4 players and other portable devices. Others would go for the expensive ones but with high quality, while others just go with the cheaper ones but with low quality.
Nowadays music is part of fashion, with earphones hanging around their clothes, music player hooked on their belts and even big headphones put on. Others just buy them for fashion, they don’t care what the music is as long as it is part of their “in” or just being comfortable with music players on them.
Music players are now being helpful to many aspects just like in a band, they use it to record their composed songs, have it play back or listen to songs they want to play with their band. Some used it in bars, just plug the music player in a device connecting to a speaker and you’ll have a disco party in an instant. Some use it for their dance practices; they also play back the music they want to. Some just use it for past time hobby to entertain themselves.
Music players are so entertaining especially to the music lovers but also have side effects. Excessive use of earphones of the music players can damage our ears. Sometimes we tend to forget to take off the earphones in our ears when we listen to music while we go to sleep, it is also not good. Others use big earphones for louder volume, others use them while walking along the streets not knowing the danger they will face, and because of the loudness of the music they don’t hear if there is/are dangers coming. Some tends to be lazy because of always sticking up with their music players and tends to forget what they must do.
Music Players are just so entertaining but we must also limit our usage to avoid some unpleasing consequences.
Unveil a Vessel’s Mask
Questions of yourself
I know everybody experienced feeling that they have two personalities in themselves or thinks that they are somewhat reincarnated. I know it’s hard to explain but it’s like you’re traveling through life learning who you are in every day you live.
It’s hard when you’re building some image. For an instance, you want to be like this but some part of you tells you not. Or when you’re in a place and it seems that you have already gone there but it’s your first time. Or just like you have a lively image at school but silent image at home. We can address these problems to a psychologist but can we figure this out ourselves?
I know it’s kind of hard figuring yourself even though you know yourself a little but still there’s that intuition that you still don’t know yourself that much. You’re seeking for an answer and identity but can’t fulfill that question. There’s a feeling like there’s an angel and devil within you trying to control your actions. There is a feeling also that you are not being understood and you yourself also don’t understand yourself. It is like being drawing two or more pieces within you but you can’t put back all those pieces unless there’s a recognition or identity.
If we learn about ourselves in each day we travel through life, then when would we fully know ourselves? If we die can we conclude who we really are by judging on the days we’ve spent living? We can also say that we could find ourselves to others and we can also assess ourselves by hearing from what others think, sees and feel about you but is it enough to know the real you?
It’s hard, and only our creator knows.
