Son's force

Topic: Book

8-9 months from now, the 11th and last book of the Sword of Truth series will be out. How will the story end? How will Richard Rahl defeat Emperor Jagang? I just can't wait for it.

Confessor
Coming Fall 2007

For all of my readers, here is a preview of what is to come.

Descending into darkness, about to be overwhelmed by evil, those people still free are powerless to stop the coming dawn of a savage new world, while Richard faces the guilt of knowing that he must let it happen. Alone, he must bear the weight of a sin he dare not confess to the one person he loves…and has lost.

Join Richard and Kahlan in the concluding novel of one of the most remarkable and memorable journeys ever written. It started with one rule, and will end with the rule of all rules, the rule unwritten, the rule unspoken since the dawn of history.

When next the sun rises, the world will be forever changed.

P.S. The title should have been "On Frocess" but it sounds gay.

Dig Near...

Topic: IRC Channel

Because I'm bored *and she's not replying to my text messages*, I searched the net for e-boo(ks). But since most of them are copyrighted, the best way to get them is through bit-torrent. Too bad, p2p file sharing programs are not allowed in our dorm internet. So, I resorted to IRC. I looked for a channel in the Rizon network which serves e-boo(k) downloading. And look at what I found, a gold deposit of e-boo(ks). If you have been looking for a certain book in bookstores and in the internet for years, this is a good place to try to search that book.

Just go to #bookz at irc.rizon.net. However, I won't teach you how to download stuff from IRC. You have to discover them yourself!

er... grub

Topic: Food

Just recently, I've found a new addiction to eating Wendy's Big Bacon Mushroom Melt Hamburger. I just can't seem to stop craving for it. At least, I still have some control over this addiction. I limit myself to eating at least one per week since it's too freaking expensive! Grrrr!

I'm an otter!

Here's my result:
Otter
Genera and species: Amblonyx Cinerea
Collective Term: A prank of otters

Description

Otters are petite, engaging creatures overflowing with positive energy. Intelligent and bright, they are also popular and eminently lovable and displaying the highly developed social skills that typify the small carnivores. So, otters mix easily with a wide range of animal personalities.

Lazy? Let's just say easily distracted. For life has so many diversions for the otter, that whether it's playing a computer game, reading a book, or doing a crossword puzzle, it's impossible to predict how it will fill it's day. But when an otter gets focused on a problem, it's keen intelligence rises to the challenge and it will not give up until the nut is cracked. Otters feel entitled to the good things in life and a general sense of well being gives them the confidence to not have to save for the future. A lover who wants to impress an otter should know that otters love to eat out and have a predictable penchant for sushi.

Although intelligent and witty, otters have a tendency to suffer from self-doubt, and fear of failure can prevent them from living up to their true potential. Still, they are a great problem solvers, with the ability to spend endless hours on abstract or practical challenges. As workers, they are dedicated and capable and always eager for a chance to prove themselves. Their determination makes them valuable employees and although they often feel that their contributions are undervalued, they would rather accept lower pay than risk confrontations in their workplace. Although they are fine motivators, they avoid taking leadership roles, performing better in group situations with their social skills coming in handy when counseling coworkers through their problems. Their dexterous hands are useful in a wide range of careers, and they're ideally suited for work in engineering, advertising, and design.

As lovers, otters are tenacious and have remarkably vital libidos. Unafraid of expressing their needs, they have little tolerance for selfish people and are attracted those creative enough to fulfill their sexual appetites. Among the aquatic animals, the lusty dolphin provides endless fun while the terrestrial fox proves to be a challenging and sexy companion. In a relationship, the otter will willingly stray into dangerous waters, betting that its instincts will see it though. But, for the most part it prefers the familiar shallows of a predictable association with the semi-aquatic beaver or sea lion.

There is no question that the otter is going to have children. Lots of them. And this otherwise carefree individual will surprise you with its strict and disciplined approach to child raising.

Otters are certainly not shy. Their highly advanced communication skills explain why friends flock to it for advice and why ex-lovers find it so hard to let it go. But sometimes it seems that relating to an otter is a one-way street; for otters hate criticism. It's not that they don't believe there's room for improvement -- it's just that they tend to confuse criticism with rejection. Friends must step lightly lest they wound the otter's self-image, for this is the surest way to dissuade the otter from further communication.

Girlfriend [sigh]

Topic: Website

The age-old question of single and available males who never had a girlfriend in their life.
"Why I don't have a girlfriend?"

Here's someone who had tried to answer this question scientifically.

Have fun!
