Christmas 2012 : Decorating Part 1
Finally :)
My Christmas decorating project is halfway done, the curtain headers and door decoration are done. Actually i haven't done so much but it took me 7 hours to do this much. I don't have garlands, but we have an old Christmas tree so i just used the elements to make them look like garlands.Its not easy to make it but this is all i have now, i just have to be creative. Well i thought not to put the tree up because i have no place for it.
Well, my motif hasn't changed. In fact i think its been the motif for the last 8 years.pink, lilac,peach with light gold.they look really classy but having it for too long just don't feel right to me now. i promised myself to box them well after Christmas i will surely invest on a new motif next year.With the home improvement in place, i think id just root for the traditional colors red gold and green. What more they are actually easier to collect and cheaper.
So, that's it for 2 small windows, 1 bigger window, and 2 doors. i tried to save flowers as much as i can because i still want to put a lantern, with the same motif, and a table tree just like last year, I'm also planning to arrange the remaining balls into a tree shape just like what i saw in Singapore but i don't know if i can because that means gluing it and i can't, because glue will ruin the balls.
Lets just see how the 2nd installment of the Christmas decoration project will go.
I'm feeling really festive right now, with the good news October left me. Thank God im so Blessed.
UPDATE: The second Installment only comprises of some minor lighting decorations outside the house. bought some cheap led christmas lights down town.

So, there it is, Eid'l Adha has been declared. But what is Eid'l Adha by the way?
Eid'l Adha is an Islamic festival to commemorate the willingness of
Ibrahim (also known as Abraham) to follow Allah's (God's) command to
sacrifice his son Ishmael. Muslims around the world observe this event.
It is often referred as a Muslim's Feast of Sacrifice.

SWORD ART ONLINE
My BF and I are very fond of this anime series Sword Art Online and unfortunately the Season I had just ended last week. The Good thing is, when we researched about this series, we found out that Sword Art Online is actually a Novel, which means.. There's a lot more coming! (Yay can't wait)
But before that, since i am excited to know whats next, I've downloaded the full copy of Sword Art Online Series and is now reading it. This is a great light novel i should say although the order of events is quite confusing. There are certain books or episodes that are just flash backs, Example, Book 2 is just a flash back because the events in Book 2 actually happened in between the beginning and ending of Book 1. Readers will really get confused if they did not read the all the books.
Credits to wikipedia for below :
Plot and Characters
In the year 2022, the Virtual reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (VRMMORPG), Sword Art Online
(SAO), is released. With the Nerve Gear, a virtual reality Helmet that
stimulates the user's five senses via their brain, players can
experience and control their in-game characters with their minds.
On November 6, 2022, all the players log in for the first time, and
subsequently discover that they are unable to log out. They are then
informed by Kayaba Akihiko, the creator of SAO, that if they wish to be
free and log out of the game, they must reach the 100th floor of the
game's tower and defeat the final boss. However, if their avatars die
in-game, their bodies will also die in the real world. The story follows
Kirito, a skilled player who is determined to beat the game. As the
game progresses, Kirito eventually befriends a female player called
Asuna who becomes his partner and lover. After the duo discover the
identity of Kayaba's avatar in SAO, they confront and defeat him,
freeing themselves and the other players from the game.
Upon returning to the real world, Kirito learns that Asuna and a
small group of SAO players are trapped in another VRMMORPG called
Alfheim Online (ALO). Their imprisonment in ALO was part of a plan
devised by Nobuyuki Sugō to subdue Asuna and marry her, in an attempt to
take over her family's company. With help from old friends he met in
SAO along with new allies, Kirito thwarts Nobuyuki's plans and finally
reunites with Asuna in the real world.
Soon after, Kirito plays another VRMMORPG called Gun Gale Online
(GGO) to investigate the mysterious connection between the game and
deaths occurring in the real world. He eventually discovers that the
culprits are former members of a murderous guild he has previously
encountered in SAO.
After solving the murders in GGO, Kirito is recruited to assist in
the development of a state-of-the-art game, UnderWorld (UW), which has
an interface that is far more realistic and complex than that of the
previous games he had played. In UW, the flow of time proceeds thousands
of times faster than in the real world. However, Kirito ends up falling
for a trap and wakes up inside the game, unable to log out and he
starts looking for a way back to reality.
Setting
The light novel series spans several virtual MMORPGs, not exclusively the titular world of Sword Art Online.
- Sword Art Online
- The first virtual game world, as well as the setting of the first arc of the story. The world takes the form of a giant floating castle called Aincrad, with 100 floors in it. Each floor has medieval-themed setting and a dungeon with a boss. The boss at the end of each floor has to be defeated before players can advance to the next higher floor. Like most RPGs, it implements a level based system.
- Alfheim Online
- The setting for the second arc of the story. It is a large world, divided into separate 'homelands' of each of its fairy races. All players have the ability to fly and have wings on their avatars. In the center is a very large tree called Yggdrasil, and the goal of the game is to reach the top. It implements a skill based system with players increasing their stats by developing both their combat and non-combat skills, in a fashion similar to the latest installments of the Elder Scrolls game series. Aincrad, the castle of the first game, is later accessible to ALO players as well.
- Gun Gale Online
- The setting for the third arc of the story. It is a virtual game world with a main focus on guns, although melee weapons like lightsabers and knives also exist.
- UnderWorld
- The setting for the fourth arc of the story. According to Kirito, it is graphically the most realistic of all VRMMOs to date. The flow of time in UW is much faster than the real world's (probably a prototype of the accelerated world). Even so, it seems that even Kirito was misled as to the actual rate of UW's time flow, so it is still unknown. However, in the "There is but one ultimate way" side story, the rate is said to be 10000 times faster than that of the real world.

Bake and Churn's Mango Madness Melted
Last Friday was my mom's birthday and i finally redeem my Bake and Churn ice cream cake from Megamall, my last voucher from the 3 pieces i bought a few months ago.
This is a good deal, you get a 400php voucher for 200php only applicable to limited flavor of dome cakes. A few months back i blogged about my Bake and Churn experience HERE. And last month i tried a new flavor and blogged about my experience also HERE..
So the lessons i learned from the two purchases are the following
Much to my dismay this is how my cake looked like when i opened the box.

So the lessons i learned from the two purchases are the following
- dont buy the cake if you cant have it frozen when you eat it, because it is extremely sweet specially if it already looks overly sweet and you eat it nearly melting.You may research the ingredients from website, for bake and churn, their website is nice to have all the ingredients enumerated for each cake.
- if you dont have a car dont commute with an ice cream cake. Generally to travel with anything too bulky and delicate is a pain, what more if you are racing with the time and comcern about the heat?Ice cream cakes dont taste good when its melted, or when it is even nearly melting.
Much to my dismay this is how my cake looked like when i opened the box.

As you see in the picture, one side of the cake has already fallen, the ice cream outside melted already, its not even 3 hours, and to think they promised that the cake wont melt upto 4 hours. But it maybe a case by case basis.
My first experience with Bake and Churn was the Rocky Road. The side of the rocky Road is fence by chocolate chips, when you buy from the shops a whole cake, it has some acetate keeping the fences intact, therefore, it may possibly last longer compared to other cakes without that acetate.
I may not have evidence that shows that its already past 8 at night but there is also no reason for me to slander. THIS IS A REVIEW. This will help buyers to decide what to buy in the future.
And if you ask me about the taste, i don't find it too sweet like the Black Forest, but it is also not as nice as the Rocky Road, But it is Bake and Churn, It's delicious as ever.

ONLY YOU Fringe Season Finale
I cant believe Fringe is showing its last season. (sigh)
I dont really like what happened in Season 4 it seems like so many puzzles with missing pieces mixed up altogether. At first there's some unexplainable part of Science, there's alter universe, then there's overlapping of Universes and now its 2036 in Fringe and the world does seem wasted. The supreme ruler is an observer, a being unknown of origin but has existed even before time.
Okay, so the Season starts with the reunion of the main characters, Olivia, Peter, Walter, Astrid and Henrietta. Well Etta or Henrietta was introduced in the last episodes of Season 4. Apparently, she was Peter and Olivia's daughter.. I am really confused now so i am downloading the Season 4 again and when time permits i will even watch everything all over again from Season 1. Fringe has always been a Fun puzzle to Solve so i am anticipating more in the next episodes, i do hope my boyfriend start liking it so he will download for me hahaha.
Well, even if i never liked the turn of events with Fringe, it still amazes me how great this show was made, from the sounds to the effects. And yes, my favorite is still Walter Bishop for I am very much in love with his wit.
This Video is from youtube. This song haunted me for weeks I was looking for it for days until now, finally i found it..I think the mix is just perfect.
Walter was looking for music. With music, he can think better.
