magic: l'assemblée

nakahiram ako ng magic cards kahapon. ang tagal ko nang hindi nakakalaro. ang huli kong nalaro ay yung ice age. mahal kasi. kaya di ko napagpatuloy. ça faisait dix ans depuis j'ai joué ce jeu. je souviens que j'ai joué vert (magie de la vie et de la nature) et blanc (magie de l'égalité, de l'ordre, et de la lumière). le même type de deck (vert et blanc) que je faisait pouvoir emprunter d'un ami.

naglalaro kami ni K tuwing gabi. ok yung green. i like the idea of sporalings every 3 turns. the deck has several creatures which produce sporalings.

j'ai voulu partager ce lien qui j'ai trouvé dans l'internet .. http://junanteola.multiply.com/music/item/162/DJ_Robin_Mendoza_Future_Wave. great music! it's called future wave but for me, it is new wave.

j'ai reçu une lettre de mon premier professeur à cebu. il travaille maintenant pour les nations-unis. mais je ne suis pas certains ce qu'il fait la-bas. voici ma réponse ...

bonjour m. genly! je vous souviens. vous êtes le prêtre qui a parlé d'autres langues. nous avons pris le cours près de fuente. oui oui. je souviens bien. comment allez vous?? qu'est-ce que vous faites aux nations-unis? vous êtes en europe? comme vous pouvez voir, je continue à étudier la langue. le français m'interesse encore. j'ai voulu vous dire que j'apprecie ton cours. ce temps, je pense de prendre des cours à l'alliance française de manille. qu'est-ce que vous pensez? je vis à makati (les philippines) maintenant. je sais que mon français est pauvre encore mais je persiste toujours. ^_^ pardonnez-moi si j'ai fait beaucoup de fautes. a plus, max

guillaume dauphin

c'est guillaume dauphin. un clerc éladrin de coréllon. there is something odd about playing the cleric being the atheist/freethinker in real life. i try to get into the mind of a believer. how would someone react to life and death or for quotidien living situations? always delusional. dangerous no doubt.

it has been a long time since i last painted. i can only paint when i am in a certain mood. it is not something that i can summon anytime i wanted to. i imagine sometimes what if i pursued painting as way of earning a living.

guillaume is an eladrin. it is one of the stock races in the fourth edition of dungeons and dragons. to me. i feel that the introduction of eladrins has taken away something from elves. it is a fine line between both races. and it is even written in the player's handbook. people mistake eladrins for elves. the book suggests how eladrins are the more pure fée than the other. what is the point of having both when they offer quite the same traits?

il est parti golarien - le monde légendaire de la fée et au monde des humains/nains/elfes, particulairement dans la ville de sandpoint. il est parti parce que sa famille était tous athée et ils pensent qu'il soit bizarre. il est très réligieux et il devient même un prêtre de corellon.

dans le jeu donjons et dragons, nous écrivons et créons des histoires. voice un exemple ci-dessous ..

at the mention of the hunt, guy reminisces of the good old days back in golarien. the legendary homeworld of the feys. guy loved the forests and the streams that run through and along it. it was genuine appreciation of all of corellon's creations. it was beneath it all a bedrock of magic.

as much as guy had wanted to stay live and die in golerien however. it was impossible. his family who are adepts of the arcane had become arrogant of their power. and they continue to insult him, which in their terms, rather unconventional ways. he was a religous and devoted man. this has caused him his relations especially after announcing his calling to become a priest. his family was doing in their influence to prevent him from doing so.

he had no other recourse but to leave despite golarien's strictest forbiddance of any fey from leaving the feywild at this time.

back to the present.

"how about you father dauphin, what say you to the hunt?" the nobleman asked.

"i could use some fresh air indeed" guy added to the conversation which had taken a turn, a wine glass or twelve ago, into recounting each greatest hunt. in which guy had nothing to contribute except his disagreement to harming such beautiful creatures. forest deers.

guy was not planning on actively participating in harming any creature at all save those which are outside corellon's protection. but of course he was not keen on being vocal about it.

"i dont belong anywhere" guy was reminded by this after thought. guy took another glass of wine feeling depressed all of a sudden.

this is another rendition of guillaume dauphin. it is multimedia. watercolor, pencil and ink. it is not my best work. but it is still pleasant to look at either way. im trying to revive watercolor painting. i stopped for a long time. i have been busy. here i show the stages of its development. i use pencil to outline. i thought it looked good in pencil. i applied some watercolor. i am colorblind so you must forgive me if the colors do not mix. then finally i used photoshop to sharpen and drag his slouching stance back. so now he appears proud and dignified.

journée mondiale de la jeunesse

i fetched my cousins from the airport and then to what they call the twin churches (st. anthony and st. loreto) near malacanang palace. it couldn't be more catholic than that. i do not understand why there would be two churches right beside each other except that maybe it is like having two fastfood outlets like a mcdonalds beside a jolibee in a corner. people just can't get enough of junkfood.

my cousins and a couple of others are delegates to the world youth day 2008 in sydney. it brings back memories of college. i too joined the world youth day back in 1996 when it was held in manila. the school which was catholic was open for volunteers. i volunteered to watch over some deaf people. no miracles that day as they came and left deaf.

it is more appropriate to call it catholic youth day as it is in reality a catholic promotional event. but what concerns me more is the forever lost justice for the thousands of youths who have been molested by priests. we need to remind ourselves exactly how much the church values the youth. i am referring to the official and shameful church policy to pay off prosecutions and re-assignment to unsuspecting parishes of pervert priests so that the church remains scandal free. that is how much the church values the youth. n'oublie jamais mes amis.

sortir du placard

de sofia1297. I'm interested to know whether any of you are still in the closet as atheists, or are you known in your family, friends and community as such? And if so, what was their reaction when you have revealed your non-belief, assuming that most of them haven't lost their religion (yet)?

ma réponse. with my parents they accused me of being possessed by the devil. but when i became financially indepedent and started contributing to the family coffers. they have to accept my decision. i was willing to risk loosing them forever had they insisted on making me do things that i didnt want to do. llike go to church. that is one critical point. why is there coercion. religion should be the decision of the person. and what the church and people are doing is forcing chidlren. starting early so they dont have the capacity to think for themselves. and just accept until they become brainwashed. fortunately for us. we have broken the chains of slavery.

my father who reads the bible is the most difficult to deal with. he believes the lies told by theists about evolution and science. he listens to those evangelicals on tv. i cant help but pity him for his ignorance. he is the type of christian who thinks the tsunami victims deserved what happened to them, homosexuals are an abomination, women are subjects of men in a marriage. and all sorts of archaic beliefs perpetuated by religion. they continue to pray every meals. i continue to point out things when they ask me for money. like if they truly believe in their gods and about how their god provides. they would have no need to ask me for money. my mother is more receptive to what i have to say about freethinking and science. she understands. but she remains to her ways. i leave her be. as i expect them with me. to leave me be.

with my friends, i started out asking questions about their gods and the christian bible until i admitted it. there was acceptance right away. esp for close friends. we got tired of long arguments.

with the rest. people in general leave me be.

2 fêtes

cela matin, nous avons assisté la fête de ma tante patricia (patsy pour fair court). elle vient d'avoir 62 ans et c'était son anniversaire. elle est une cousine de ma mère. il y avait 14 plats. sinigang na baboy, dinuguan, laing, pansit bihon, lasagna, lumpiang shanghai, inihaw na isda, vegetable salad, etc .. en fait, tous se plaignaient que la table n'est assez grande pour contenir l'entier 14 plats. tante patsy est comique. c'est pourquoi j'ai voulu toujours pour faire la visiter.


la photo suivante. une très rare photo. c'est ma mère et ses cousines de son oncle domingo. c'est tante patsie, tante sylvie, et tante rita. il y avait un question de qui était la plus belle parmi les cousins. ma mère nous a dit que c'était sans question tante sylvie. mais tante patsie n'étais pas en accorde. héhéhé ..

dans l'après midi. nous sommes allés au shakey's pour célebrer l'anniversaire de mon petit frère. il vient d'avoir 21 ans sur juillet 1. soupire. ses amis du lycée et de la université, sa copine et ses amis sont venu. yung isang bahagi ng party ay magsasalita lahat kami tungkol kay ronnie. takot na takot ako kasi baka maiyak ako sa harap ng tao. kaya ang nasabi ko na lang ay .. "ronnie .. happy birthday!". malgré de tous, nous nous aimons. je peux voir ça .. j'aime ma famille. soupire.

une époque sombre

ito yung laro na nilalaro namin. mga barkada ko nung college. ako character ko ay si guillaume (guy, pour faire court). dungeons and dragons ang tawag sa game na ito. nakahiligan ko kamakailan na maglaro bilang isang pari. isa palang pari si guy. sa simbahan ni corellon.

quand j'ai lu cet article dans le journal (lemonde), je ne peux pas m'aider de penser que ce sont les plus sombres de notre histoire. sinon, c'est commence.

la charia pourrait jouer un role dans le système judiciaire en grande-bretagne. Le chef de la magistrature d'Angleterre et du Pays de Galles, Lord Nicholas Addison Phillips of Worth Matravers, a estimé, jeudi 3 juillet, que la charia, la loi islamique, pouvait jouer un rôle au sein du système judiciaire britannique. "Il n'y a pas de raisons pour lesquelles les principes de la charia, ou de tout autre code religieux, ne pourraient pas être le fondement d'une médiation ou d'autres formes alternatives de résolution des conflits", a déclaré le Lord Chief Justice dans un discours prononcé au centre islamique de l'est londonien. Mais en cas d'"échec à se conformer aux termes agréés" par une médiation ayant tenu compte de la charia, "les sanctions seront issues des lois d'Angleterre et du Pays de Galles", a-t-il souligné.

i am dismayed whenever i read about advanced countries like britain fall prey to religion. i do not understand it. why do we give it power over us. history and current events are pretty clear what happens when religion takes over the state. theocracy over democracy. now sharia law is being debated? it is insane. it is evident that we are seeing one of the outcomes of immigration. a culture shift.

i can imagine loosing all the freedoms that we enjoy today. freedom of speech. freedom of thought. i can imagine under the sharia law of people being mistreated for being women, for being gays, for being of another religion, or for being without religion. and it is a lot worse in reality in places where it is the in place.

il a 21 ans

juillet 1 .. mon petit frère est devenu 21 ans. imagine ça. un jour, il était juste un bébé et maintenant il est un homme. maintenant, il est plus grand que moi. et puis ma mère m'a dit que c'est possible que il va se marier quand il a 25 ans. ^_^ je souviens quand j'avais 21 ans aussi. j'ai finit mes études. j'ai trouvé un boulot parce que un professeur nous a recommandé. j'étais jeune et stupid. maintenant, je ne suis pas assez jeune mais je suis encore stupid. héhé je regrette le temps quand j'ai véçu à l'étranger. le temps passé loin de ma famille. le temps perdu quand il grandissait. soupire.

mais la vie continue. voici des photos aléatoire que j'ai pris en utilisant mon portable. la première photo était pris pendant le départ de rob (doubai). la photo suivante est la voiture de ma soeur qui était lui donné par sa compagnie. et finalement, c'est médric.
