Dear Jesus,
Divine Physician and Healer of the sick,
we turn to you in this time of illness.
O dearest comforter of the troubled,
alleviate our worry and sorrow with your gentle love,
and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden.
Dear God,
we place our worries in your hands.
We place our sick under your care and humbly ask that you restore your servant to health again.
Above all, grant us the grace to acknowledge your will
and know that whatever you do,
you do for the love of us.
Amen.
Hoy abno…..
Get well soon….
Prayer from me.

Ok… Rise and shine… Summer’s out (since last month)… once again I’m stuck here at my house (believe me, if I had the money, I wouldn’t be here; “ang init, putcha!”) doing my daily routine; cook rice, eat, surf the net, download, play computer games, take a bath, dress up, watch anime, listen to my mp3s, eat… blah3x…
Ok… blog time! (Yeah it’s worth doing this than sitting here doing nothing) Let’s see… what to write… what to write… what to type… URGHH!!!***
*** - while thinking about what to write, I’m just killing my time playing some emulator games (mostly old school games) which I downloaded a long time ago…
~*POOF!*~
That’s it! Why not write about the Family Computer?!?
Hehehe

A few more rewind… I think I was 7 years old when my mom bought my first console, the Family Computer
========================================================================================================================================================================================
I just remembered, when I was a little kid (particularly when I was a gradeschooler) I used to be a big junkie in video games. I mean, even when I was that little, I was addicted to computer games. (Well I think it was quite normal; considering my age during that time) Yes, I wasn’t to type of guy who was into fashion, music and other stuff that time. (But hey, “di naman ako ganung kagrabe… meron din naman akong crush at niligawan nung grade I ako noh”) I can still remember the times I spent most of my “Baon” on games. It may sound a little bit cheesy ~ “ dati nanlibre pa ko sa mga tropa ko noong bata ako kina Kuya Al (computer arcade place) nung birthday ko” and imagine, for 5 STRAIGHT hours!!! Hehehe
How could I forget the days when my best friend (Dino) and I were often scolded by our families… “lagi pa nila ako sinusundo sa bahay nila dino (during unexpected moments) kc lagi kong tinatakas ung adaptor ng FC namin!”… Then everytime I get a failing mark on school, they always blaming me for spending more time playing the FC than studying.
Yep, FC days is very memorable to me… during that time I made some friends, and enemies as well.

FYI, the Famicom was, if you haven’t figured out yet, the Japanese version of the NES, originally introduced in July of 1983. Nearly 1200 games were released for the Famicom. This was a record, but the Super Nintendo broke it with over 1400 games, and the Playstation has even beaten that record. That is a lot of games, by the way. It’s a little depressing when you think about it; I’ll never be able to play all of these!
During its first year, many criticized the system as unreliable, prone to programming errors and rampant freezing. Following a product recall and a reissue with a new motherboard, the Famicom’s popularity soared, becoming the best-selling game console in
Japan by the end of 1984. Encouraged by their successes, Nintendo soon turned their attentions to the North American markets.

Here are my some cartridges that I owned (and played) during those times….

The question is: how hard is this stuff to find nowadays? Not especially hard - as always, a lot depends on what game you want, how much time you want to spend searching, and whether you get lucky or not. In some malls and video game shops, you may able to find some stocks of family computer, and most stock at least a few FC carts.
Of course, it’s easy to tell people to go and buy FC carts. But today’s technology has been improving more and more, and so as the graphics of all the games that are released recently, making it impossible for the FC to compete in the gaming world today
In the end, the choice is still yours to make

My Anime Otaku: Sumimasen… Nihongo o hanashimasu ka? (Excuse me… Do you speak Japanese?)
May 6th, 2006 by themarksyndromeproject
Ko- ko- konichiwa!!
Welcome to the first issue of “My anime Otaku”, the section that features News, Updates, and Reviews some of my (and your) favorite anime. Please take time to read these, especially if you’re a beginner to videos, anime and trading.
First of all, some definition of terms:
Anime (AH-nee-may or AN-nee-may)
n. -Short for "animation". Refers to "Japanese Animation", a genre/medium that has its roots in the 1960’s when the Japanese began making television versions of their version of comics (manga). Unlike the "cartoon", America and other culture’s counterpart to anime, much of the Japanese animation shown is one of deeper, sometimes more mature themes, including developed storylines, linear plots, and aspects of violence, sex, drama, and comedy (not unlike live-action films in the States). There are different kinds of anime and each kind embraces a different age group or group of people. In
Japan , the medium is as much respected as the "live-action" genre of movies.
ex. - "Did you watch that new Evangelion? It’s the epitome of what anime is.
Otaku (oh-TAH-kuu)
n. - From the Japanese, literally meaning "house". In
Japan , the term refers to someone with a heavy, and sometimes near-religious interest in something. In the Japanese culture it also carries a derogatory meaning, in the context of being someone with no real social or personal life outside of the object of their obsession (much like the term "fanboy" or "nerd" in Western culture). However, outside of
Japan , the term may or may not carry a derogatory meaning depending on the person being referred to. Many anime fans in Western cultures proudly (and sometimes mistakenly) call themselves otaku, preferring to use the term to describe themselves as a "hard core", or knowledgeable, anime fan.
ex. - That Mama Ass is definitely an otaku.
Fansub (FAN-suhb)
n. - Anime in the original Japanese, subtitled into the native language of the translators for distribution in the anime community outside of
Japan . Much more common than it’s lesser known cousin, the fandub, these fan-translated works are usually done at a medium amount of equipment, expense, and effort. Usually such fans work in groups to increase efficiency and reduce individual cost. As a result, many anime series or episodes of a series which have not been picked up for release by a domestic company outside of
Japan can be seen before they are "officially" released or licensed (if they are ever released) in non-Japanese countries. Cost is usually minimal to purchase anime done in this manner, and it is not usual for the fan translators to ask that fans not resell their tapes so that they can continue with their work.
ex. - I just ordered The Prince of Tennis fansub today.
== End of Definition ==
(In my upcoming articles in this section, I will give you more definitions, ok? Don’t rush)
In my 1st issue I’m gonna tackle about “my anime collection”.
========================================================================================================================================================================================
I started collecting animes since March of last year (2005). At first I wanted to collect and watch anime because I was feeling so depressed. My First anime copy was Naruto (128 episode during that time), which was originally owned by my friend (Px).
Now, I currently have 25 anime in my collection (OAV’s and movies are not yet included in the count). I am planning to make other copies of my collection for sale and trade.
Pricing (subject due to change in the future):
Cds: 30 PhPesos each
Dvds: 70 PhPesos each
Trading Rules:
∙ The number of episodes must be equal in the trade, just to be fair
∙ I like it when traders fill up the cd to its capacity but not to the point of overburning.
∙ Please use silver platinum coated cds and let me know if you want me to use branded cds too.
∙ If this is the 1st time you’re going to trade with me, I must receive the package first, unless I requested for the trade.
∙ If you do not have references, you have to send first or trade with other notable noted traders with good trader comments.
Here is the complete list of my anime collection so far:
