♥~An Odyssey On A Virtual Diary~♥

    Weee!!! I just got two Tarantula spiderlings, it’s said to be an Orphnaecus Specie. It’s my first time to take care of spiders, so yeah, I am really excited and thrilled about it. Just to think these big, hairy, crawling 8-legged creatures are horrible, but no.. they are so adorable.
    My new pets are sooooo small, they just had their first molt, and it takes time for them to grow. I think petting tarantulas would also be a test of patience. xD And what I really like about this hobby is it requires only a low maintenance. Perfect for a busy or lazy person. ^_^

    Anyway, I’m looking forward on seeing them grow up, big and hairy, crawling on the top of my palm. wOot! that would be so exciting! And perhaps in the future, I’ll be looking for more species. Chilean Rose  maybe ^^, I’ll stick with the easy to handle Ts first. ^^
    Well, seeing quite a number of terrariums inside my room would be great! ^_^ And this hobby is quite addictive. xD

    Yesterday, i have already planned ahead on what should be done today. i actually made up a list on my mind the tasks that i’m supposed to do today. I have to do this, and do that.. hahai.. i’m not surprised though, i haven’t done anything on the list because a lot of random thought just popped up and i went to do things spontaneously and unplanned. Although i haven’t met my goal on completing the things that i should be doing, at least my spontaneity made me somehow productive. ^_^

yah that’s right, i have a new puppy.. and it’s sooo cute.. Rando gave it to me early this afternoon. oh boy i was really surprised. =) thank you thank you thank you!!! i’m not gonna lose her this time.
i’m still thinkin of what shall i name her.. hmm..

–> this is her, sleeping soundly inside my lil sister’s shoebox

she’s so sweet and really cute.

    I have just finished watching Deathnote 1 and Deathnote - The Last Name. I
love this movie because it’s mind boggling, it has a good plot with
awesome twist and turns, it’s unpredictable and i just can’t get enough
of it.

    The movie is a highly complicated murder
mystery and it has the most intricate plot i’ve ever seen on a movie(although the anime series is more complex). I find the amount of logic and thought
put into the characters’ plans and motives stunning and really awesome.
It’s really mind boggling and very unpredictable because it’s hard
to follow exactly what everyone’s motivations are, but the movie goes
deep enough
to actually explore every one of these views, and that becomes
very rewarding as the story continues. My mind works as i was watching
the movie from the beginning until the end, the movie doesn’t just show a story but it prompts me to think logically and rationally, and let myself be in the situation - that’s why i got hooked with the movie and the anime series. Truly, the pen is even mightier than a gun. hehehe
    If you love problem-solving mysteries, you’ll definitely love this movie; it is worth the 225-minute(more or less) sit-on-the-couch-staring-at-the-tube-without-blinking on a one lazy afternoon. hehe

    I’m currently watching the anime series and waiting for the incoming episodes. And I’m looking forward for the 3rd movie, i heard there will be one coming next year(2008) *darn it takes ages* i dont know exactly whether it will be L’s or Yagami Light’s story.

I know there are more than millions of people globally who play Warcraft 3:Frozen Throne, Defense of the Ancient map or commonly known as DotA. Ranging from ages 12-30 years old (MY average estimate),only people who lives inside a box or behind IT trend doesn’t know or even heard about this game.

I was lurking around the forums when i came across this thread that talks about "the truth behind dota". for those of you who haven’t yet heard or read this one, i’ll post the link for you  click here 
please take time to read so that you’ll have an idea what am i talking about.

As i have read the article, it made me think twice. However, there are some given facts that clashes the writer’s point, the game and my opinion.
take for example this statement taken from the article:
——————————————
Defense of the Ancient(DoTA)
who is ancient?
answer: God, but satans disguises himself and deceives us, saying that He is the Ancient one.
Why?
Ans: who would you think you will defend on this game? whose defense is this?
——————————————

Who ever said that "ancient" is God? Mr. Webster, the internet, and anybody who is literate enough to answer what is ancient wouldn’t tell that ancient=God.
If the game would explain itself, the ancient it’s talking about is the "TREE OF LIFE" which should be protected, that’s why it’s called Defense of the Ancient.

——————————————
the obvious aims: -to kill your enemy
- to destroy the tree of life for sentinel
- to destroy the frozen throne for scourge
- and TO BE BEYOND GODLIKE in this game.
the real aims:
- worshipping satan through consciously enjoying the game.
Why?
- because this game is extremely a deception from satan and you are actually enjoying it.
——————————————

It’s a strategy game, and the aim is NOT to kill the enemy. The aim is to protect/defend the ‘tree of life’ or ‘the frozen throne’ of which side you are on and this cliche comes in: offense is the best defense.  and besides, where in the world would you find a real-time strategy computer game that doesn’t kill the ENEMY?

And about being "beyond GODLIKE", let me define godlike. godlike means being or having the nature of a god; Mr. Google defines godlike as being appropriate to or befitting a god. Meaning, it doesn’t really imply that it points to our(christians) Supreme Being. This game was based on fictional stories with fictional world, heroes, villains, gods and goddesses, etc.. Most probably, "beyond godlike" points to this game’s own god/goddess. By the way, if it says "beyond BUDDHALIKE", would it ever make a difference? (i meant no offense)

And I’ve never encountered OMG (Oh My God…which can also mean omigosh) or Bullsh*t being stated in the game.

Although some facts given would make you stop and think. These facts that were mentioned might be true, IF and only if you give meaning to it. It’s a video game and it’ll stay a video game if and only if you would think of it only as a video game. My point is let us not create a tsunami from a drop of water.

BUT i’d like to stress out that I’m not opposing the writer of that article, because I firmly believe that this game can be satanic if this game has already driven you AWAY from your life and your FAITH. If you let this game take most of your time, influence you, corrupt your mind, change and control you, then you should be alarmed.

Yes, it’s true that satan is playing around,he could be using your work/carreer, your vices, the media, even your friends, and all worldly materials to lure you away from your faith; and he could be using this game, but that is IF YOU ALLOW him to play with you.

I guess it’s alright to play this game as long as you don’t let it take and ruin your life, drive you away from your faith,by taking most of your time playing it. Take some time to breathe. Remember DotA isn’t the only thing in this planet. =)
