My Desktop

This is my desktop theme at the moment. I've made an animated gif of Twilight star Robert Pattinson and used it as my wallpaper. As usual, I still use my personal Visual Basic Desktop clock which I saved to my start-up programs. However, I haven't been able to finish its alarm feature up to now due to my lack of time. The desktop icons and taskbar were made using Tune-Up Utilities. The bootscreen and log on screen stayed the same, though. I'm not yet in the mood to edit another set in Photoshop. Although, I've been thinking of making a "Twilight theme" (boot screen, log on screen, screensaver & same wallpaper). Maybe some other time. Just can't get enough of Twilight, haven't I? hahaha..

Ciao!

Happy Holidays to all

Breaking dawn by Stephenie Meyer

Book Title: Breaking dawn
Author: Stephenie Meyer
Series: Twilight series
Genre: Young adult, Romance


SUMMARY:

Breaking Dawn is split into three separate "books", or parts. The first part details Bella's marriage and honeymoon with Edward, which they spend on a private island off the coast of Brazil. Edward grants Bella's wish and makes love to her. Soon after, Bella sees a box of unused tampons and realizes that she is pregnant. After contacting Carlisle, who confirms her belief, she and Edward plan to return home. Edward, concerned for her well being, urges her to get an abortion. However, Bella wants to keep the child and decides to contact Rosalie for support, knowing that Rosalie has always wanted children.

The second part of the novel is written from Jacob Black's point of view, and lasts throughout Bella's pregnancy and childbirth. The pack of werewolves, not knowing what danger the unborn child may pose, make plans to destroy it, even though they must kill Bella to do so. Jacob vehemently disagrees with this decision and revolts, leaving the pack to form his own with Seth and Leah Clearwater. Bella soon gives birth, approximately a month after becoming pregnant. The baby breaks many of her bones, and Bella loses massive amounts of blood. In order to save her life, Edward changes her into a vampire. Jacob, who was present for the birth, immediately "imprints" — an involuntary response in which a werewolf finds his soul mate — on Bella's newborn daughter, Renesmee.

The third section of Breaking Dawn shifts back to Bella's perspective, finding her changed into a vampire and enjoying her new life and abilities. However, the vampire Irina misidentifies Renesmee as an "immortal child", a child who has been turned into a vampire. The creation and protection of "immortal children" was previously outlawed by the Volturi. After Irina presents her allegation to the Volturi, they plan to destroy Renesmee and the Cullens. In an attempt to save her, the Cullens gather vampires from around the world to stand as witnesses and prove to the Volturi that Renesmee is not an immortal child. Upon confronting the gathered Cullen allies and witnesses, the Volturi discover that they have been misinformed and immediately execute Irina for her mistake. However, they remain undecided on whether Renesmee should be viewed as a threat to the secret existence of vampires. At that time, Alice and Jasper, who had left prior to the confrontation, return with Nahuel, a 150-year-old vampire-human crossbreed like Renesmee. He demonstrates that the crossbreeds pose no threat and the Volturi leave, knowing that they no longer have just reason to destroy Renesmee. Bella, Edward and Renesmee return to their home, free to live their lives in peace.

Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

Book Title: Eclipse
Author: Stephenie Meyer
Series: Twilight series
Genre: Young adult, Romance

SUMMARY:

The story begins with the revelation that Seattle is being plagued by a string of unsolved murders, which Edward suspects are being caused by a newborn vampire that is unable to control its thirst. Edward and Bella fill out college applications, while Bella explains to Edward her desire to see Jacob, her werewolf friend, again. Meanwhile, Alice Cullen has a vision that Victoria, a vampire who is hunting Bella, is back in town. Although Edward fears for her safety, Bella insists that Jacob and the rest of the werewolf pack would never harm her, and he eventually allows her to visit Jacob once in a while.

A few days later, Bella expresses her desire to have Edward make love to her before turning her into a vampire. Edward initially refuses, explaining to Bella that he could very easily kill her. Eventually, upon realizing how much it means to Bella, he agrees to try in the future as long as they are married first. Despite having an aversion to marriage, Bella realizes that spending eternity with Edward is more important to her than anything else and accepts his proposal.

Bella and the Cullens realize that the murders in Seattle are being committed by Victoria and an "army" of newborn vampires. The Cullen family joins forces with the werewolf pack in order to combat this threat. As everyone else prepares for battle, Edward and Bella camp up in the mountains, where they are later joined by Jacob and Seth Clearwater, a young member of the werewolf pack, to wait out the fight.

In the morning, Jacob overhears Edward and Bella discussing their engagement and becomes very upset. He threatens to join the fight and get himself killed because Bella doesn't love him. To stop him, Bella kisses Jacob and realizes that she loves him, too. After Victoria and her army are successfully destroyed, Bella explains to Jacob that while she loves him, her love for Edward is greater and she cannot live without him. Jacob, angry at Bella's decision to become a vampire, runs away in his wolf form to escape the pain he feels.

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

Book Title: New Moon
Author: Stephenie Meyer
Series: Twilight series
Genre: Young adult, Romance

SUMMARY:

Protagonist Isabella "Bella" Swan is thrown an eighteenth birthday party by Alice and Edward Cullen, the vampire she loves, and the rest of their vampire family. While unwrapping a gift, she receives a paper cut. Edward's brother Jasper, although attempting a non-human diet, is overwhelmed by the scent of blood and tries to attack Bella. In an attempt to keep her safe from the world of vampires, Edward tells Bella that he and the rest of his family are leaving the town of Forks, Washington because he doesn't want her anymore. Bella becomes severely depressed and seeks comfort with Jacob Black, an old family friend who eases her pain over losing Edward.

Bella and Jacob begin spending a lot of time together, and Bella soon discovers that the rush of adrenaline present when she places herself in dangerous situations stimulates hallucinations of Edward's voice. Bella begins seeking out dangerous behavior, such as riding a motorcycle, to trigger the illusions. Meanwhile, Jacob finds out that he is a werewolf, and eventually reveals this secret to Bella. The werewolves begin to protect Bella from the pursuit of the vampire Victoria, who seeks revenge for the death of her mate, James, who was killed by the Cullens in Twilight. After Bella attempts cliff-diving, she gets caught in a riptide and is rescued by Jacob.

At the same time, Alice Cullen, Edward's vampire sister who has visions of the future, has a vision of Bella jumping off the cliff. Presuming Bella is dead, Alice rushes to Forks to check on Charlie Swan, Bella's father, while Edward calls Bella's home. Jacob answers and informs Edward that Charlie is at a funeral, referring to that of a man in town who had died of a heart attack, but Edward draws the conclusion that he means Bella's funeral. Desperate after Bella's supposed death, Edward flies to Italy to see the Volturi, peace-keeping vampires who would be able to kill Edward, granting him leave of a world without Bella.

Bella and Alice rush to Italy to stop Edward, and save him before it is too late. Before they leave Italy, the Volturi tell them that Bella, a human who knows of the existence of vampires, must either be killed or changed into a vampire herself. After they return to Forks, Edward explains to Bella that he only left in order to protect her, and she forgives him. The book ends with the Cullens voting in favor of Bella being changed into a vampire, much to Edward's dismay.

Twilight Book by Stephenie Meyer

Book Title: Twilight
Author: Stephenie Meyer
Series: Twilight series
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Romance

SUMMARY:

Isabella "Bella" Swan moves from sunny Phoenix, Arizona to rainy Forks, Washington to live with her father, Charlie. She chooses to do this so that her mother, Renée, can travel with her new husband, Phil Dwyer, who is a minor league baseball player. Bella attracts much attention at her new school and is quickly befriended by several students. Much to her dismay, several boys in the school compete for shy Bella's attention.

When Bella sits next to Edward Cullen in class on her first day of school, Edward seems utterly repulsed by her. After tricking a family friend, Jacob Black, into telling her local tribal legends, Bella concludes that Edward and his family are vampires who drink the blood of animals, not humans. Edward reveals that he initially avoided Bella because the scent of her blood was so desirable to him. Over time, Edward and Bella fall in love.

Their relationship is thrown into chaos when another vampire coven sweeps into Forks and James, a tracker vampire, decides that he wants to hunt Bella for sport. The Cullens plan to distract the tracker by splitting up Bella and Edward, and Bella is sent to hide in a hotel in Phoenix. Bella then gets a phone call from James in which he says that he has her mother, and that Bella must give herself up to save her. She does so and James attacks her, but Edward, along with the rest of the Cullen family, rescues Bella before James can kill her. Once they realize that James has bitten Bella's hand, Edward sucks the venom out of her system before it can spread and change her into a vampire. Upon returning to Forks, Bella and Edward attend their prom and Bella expresses her desire to become a vampire, which Edward refuses to let happen.

TWILIGHT movie review

This movie received lots of positive reviews (mostly from the fans of Twilight novel) and negative reviews (from the non-readers of the book).
I categorized myself in the non-readers part but for me, I'll probably give this movie a 4 out of 5 stars.
For those who haven't read the novel, I perfectly understand their point of view. For them, it's a slow moving, bland film. They expected it to have lots of action packed thrilling, blood sucking scenes, considering it has vampires in it. But hey, this is not "Underworld" nor "Blade" kind of vampire movie. I could say this is a pretty “stock” teen romance movie. Since I haven't seen a romance movie for a long time & since the story is not the typical human-to-human relationship, I really liked and enjoyed watching it.
After a little researching about the novel, I'm eager to buy the whole Twilight saga novel now. If ever Twilight saga's second novel, New Moon & third novel, Eclipse will be out in the movies..I think, these would have more action scenes than Twilight because the Cullens together with werewolves packs will fight Victoria (the lover of James. Remember the 3 vampires from another coven in Twilight movie?) and her army of new-born vampires.

Some of my siggy artworks

1. The first on the list is my Fiesta Online siggy. The image is my fighter class character, FoxyAngel.

2. The second is our wushu organization's online business card siggy. Please visit our site too. ^^

3. The third is my Lineage 2 siggy. I don't play it anymore because it's kinda expensive. A PTP game. (pay to play)

Astronomical Smiley

Last Monday night (December 1, 2008), while back riding in a motorcycle, I suddenly looked up at the sky and was surprised to see a large smiley. At first, I thought the two eye-like figure were stars then the smiling lips figure was the moon. It was my first time to see such an astronomical shape that made me pull out my cellphone and took my best shot. It was a very comical view.

When we arrived at Rey's house, we saw it in the news too. I thought I was the only one who noticed the smiley. It was then I realized that the two eye-like figure were the two planets, Jupiter and Venus. Seems so close with each other from an earthling's eye view. hahaha. According to a certain website, these planets will be seen close with each other again on May 2013. Truly amazing, isn't it?

My Internet Speed test

Check your internet connection speed with . Your download/upload speed will be checked according to your location. I tried testing mine several times now. So far, not so good. jeje. I'm not satisfied with the speed. My ISP, by the way, is SmartBro. I would have switched to PLDT My Dsl if only my mom would approved. I planned on getting the Landline+DSL package but my mom don't like the PLDT landline service. You see, we were once a PLDT landline subscriber but we have it disconnected after a year or so. More often than not, our bill have long distance calls that are not ours.

Anyway, I'll post here my speedtest every now and then, just for a record.

VB6 Desktop Clock sidebar in WinXP

I like the Windows Vista clock sidebar interface but since I'm using Windows XP, I decided to create an imitation of it in Visual Basic. Though it doesn't look exactly alike, I just wanted a clock in my sidebar, that's all. This program is not yet finish though, the alarm feature that I've added is not yet finalized. As you can see in the screenie, the desktop clock sidebar i've made have the ff features: analog & digital clock, computer usage elapsed time (this feature tells you how long your pc is on) & alarm (not yet enabled).

I'll share my program and post the download link as soon as I've finished the alarm feature.

Oh btw, I've placed this program in startup so that everytime I login to windows, the desktop clock sidebar program will be visible in my desktop automatically.

Ciao!

FLV converter and other video converters

A friend of mine is currently addicted to youtube. She wanted to download all her favorite videos and burn it into a dvd copy. She'd asked me how, so here it is:

Step 1: You must be using a Firefox ver 2.0 browser. Don't upgrade it to Firefox 3 because the RealPlayer plugin doesn't work well with it.

Step 2: Download Firefox 2 add-on- "Real Player Browser Record Plugin 1.0"

Step 3: Go to youtube and find your favorite flv video. Above the video, when you move your mouse on it, a Real Player's "Download this video" will appear. Click it to download the flv video. Or you can right click the video, choose "Download this video to RealPlayer".

Step 4: Download WinAvi flv converter. I'll post the WinAvi download site.

Step 5: Run WinAvi flv converter. You can convert it to: MP4, IPOD, IPHONE, PSP, WMV, Microsoft Zune, AVI, 3GP format.

Finished!

There are other types of WinAvi converters, I personally used all of them. The WinAvi video converter is the first one I've used for a long time now. I used it to convert Naruto rmvb videos from narutocentral before. Wala pang shippuuden at that time huh. hehe.

So here it is:

For the serial key, Google is your best friend...~wink wink

Fruits Basket anime

FRUITS BASKET

This is one of my favorite anime. Although I'm disappointed because its anime didn't finished until the second season of the manga. So, I had to read the Fruits Basket manga online. Watching it is more entertaining than reading it, don't ya think?

The first time I saw this anime was at a cable channel. Not sure though if it's on Animax or Hero channel. I searched its manga online then read it from the beginning 'till the last part of season 2. Not satisfied in manga only, I bought the anime version at a mall last year. Up to now, I watched my Fruits Basket dvd once in a while. I don't grew tired of it.

Here's the anime synopsis:

In the eighteen months since her mother died, Tohru Honda has faced many challenges. With the discovery of the Sohma curse, Tohru has gained a new family to help fill the void. Even with this newfound family, Tohru continues to face challenges as she encounters more members of the zodiac. The true challenge lies ahead as Tohru must face head on the secret that Kyo has carried with him all his life. Now Tohru must face the ultimate truth that will decide both her and Kyo's fate.

**If you want to read its manga version. Here's the link:

Shaolinquan Nike shoes for Wushu sport

SHAOLINQUAN the new Nike shoes designed for Wushu Sports in their Olympic edition of Nike shoes. Because of the wushu slap kick move, they used a premium kangaroo leather to enhanced it's popping sound. Personally, I thought it looks so modern & cool, an innovative design against the good ol' Feiyue wushu shoes we used to know. Bad news is.......it's only available for mens only??!!!!! When I tried the "buy" link, it says..."Nike Shaolinquan Men's Wushu Shoe". Why for Men only?????!!! That was SO UNFAIR!!!! Grrrrrr!!!! They don't even have the original red color. I would have asked my "ninang" to buy it for me then I'll repay it when she come home. Oh, that's so disappointing. T__T

Added an E-RADIO for this blog!

Check out my JukeBox! Got a new e-radio there. Though, currently just tune in Monster Radio RX 93.1 station, I'll try to find a way to add a few more radio stations.

Credits to http://www.eradioportal.com for hosting internet live radio. Great way to listen to your favorite radio station.

Till next time. I'm still busy for the midterm exam.

Undiscovered Websites Part 1

The following are some of the undiscovered websites. Personally, I haven't visited some of them but it would be interesting to surf newly discovered sites. (credits: www.pcmag.com)

I. Info, Search, Reference:

www.blipper.com☺blipper is the easiest way to discuss, discover, and organize media with your friends.

www.criminalsearches.com

Criminal Searches provides the scary-but-useful data on how many criminals live in your neighborhood.

www.damninteresting.com

They focus on any interesting facts or ideas..hmm..that's interesting XD

www.expotv.com
From the name itself, they have videos of their reviews and opinions on the latest products or gadgets.

www.howtocleanstuff.net
Again, you can already imagine what this site for. They have videos on how-to-clean any items you can imagine.

www.viewzi.com

Viewzi aggregates search results from Google, Yahoo!, YouTube, and more, and lets you pick how you want them presented. Do you want just the text from the Web pages? Just the photos? Video previews (shown here)? Searching with Viewzi is fun and, depending on your search term, can actually be more convenient than a simple Google search.

RP wushu team bagged gold, silver & bronze2

Too bad, wushu is just a demonstration sport in the previously Beijing Olympics 2008. We could
have at least 1 gold in our medal standings. Actually, wushu would have been listed in the official sports of the Olympics this 2008, if only other countries approved. They want it to be in the official list but on the next Olympics. Why? Because of 2 reasons:

1. They are not ready yet. The olympic forms of wushu are way too hard. Lots of acrobatics, speed and accurate timing.
2. Olympics 2008 were held in China, right? According to history, wushu are known to have been originated in China since Buddha's time. And Wushu is part of school's curriculum in some schools in China. (Jet Li is an alumni in one of those schools)..so what do you expect?

Note: Wushu is not a new martial arts. It was mistakingly called "Kungfu". Wu-shu, when translated, is martial-arts. It's the origin of all martial arts. (FYI to those who's unfamiliar with it. Maybe I'll create another post for the wushu topic some other time).

ANYWAY, the reason why I post this blog is to congratulate the ff:

• Willy Wang - Gold in Men's Nanquan Wushu Taolu event.
• Mary Jane Estimar - Silver in the 52-kg class of the women’s Wushu Sanshou.
• Benjie Rivera - Bronze in the men’s 60kg Wushu Sanshou.
• Marian Mariano - Bronze in the women’s 56kg Wushu Sanshou.

If only Arvin Ting, a world wushu champion, joined the RP team there then he could have also bagged gold in Wushu Taolu Northern styles.

Below is an interview of GMA7 on Willy Wang:

Got new skin!

Weee!! Finally!! After hours of editing the template...I finished my sakura layout!...although, I wanted to credit the original author of the template..jeje.

The original template was a Kiba-Akamaru team background. Since I like Sakura, I've changed the image using Adobe Photoshop. Then using my basic knowledge in html, i edit here....edit there...until I've satisfied with the outcome.

I've added mp3 player from playlist. A photo album from picazo. And a chat box from cbox.

Although, I haven't been able to complete the albums since I have other work to do...jeje. But I planned on adding an online games pix..with my screenies. Hmm..that's all for now
