Robin Hood or Prince of Persia?
There are currently 2 great movies that we can watch this coming weekend: Robin Hood and Prince of Persia. The question is, which to watch? Both are definitely testosterone booster – filled with action and fight scenes. I’ve been reading good reviews of Robin Hood, as for Prince of Persia, there is not enough reviews yet online – but I am a fan of the Game since the old Prince of Persia game. So can any of you help me decide? Which of the two would be more appreciated by my son? This turning out to be a hard choice. So please help me out

I have been updating my other blog – Chromatic Note. It was supposed to be a music only blog but I decided to turn it into a sort of memory slide shows. I will be putting in there mostly my memory – or what’s left of it. A sort of a personal biography but mostly filled with stories. I know “most my memories have escaped me or confused themselves with dreams” – but I’ll try my best to keep it coherent and in chronological order. So if you’d like to get to know me – or rather more of a stranger’s past – then give it a try. Just look for the Rewind category.

Online Forums
One of my favorite ways to pass my valuable time is reading and responding to online forums. Mostly I join music and gaming related forums. But I post and read about anything under the sun. Forums can be a wealth of great information and can be a big waste of time – so I know that I have to be careful. The topics I read can range from simple guitar gear topics, to maxoderm, to silly videos and to even religious flame baits! In my many years of using online forums, I have seen almost everything which is why I am very careful when posting at forums, even more so than when I post on my blogs. Hehe.

Fairy Tail
Since we have to wait for a week per episode of Natruto, I tried out another anime, and the title is as you guessed – Fairy Tail. At first I thought it was boring and the premise of mages, guilds and job requests boards feel like it’s taken from an online RPG game, but the funny antics got to me. My son Z actually loves it as well. He is always waiting for something funny to happen which happens a lot in this anime. The story is about a mage guild called Fairy Tail and their fun and action filled adventures. With the amount of danger these guys face I’m sure they could use a life insurance! Anyway the 3rd episode is about to load up so I have to go and until the next blog post! Z is waiting…

Memories and Repairs
Lately my son and I have been travelling by ourselves to and from the house that we will be moving into. Since this is also the same house that I grew up with, I have been monitoring the progress of the repairs and repainting being done to our home. It has also become a good bonding moment for me and my son where we can talk and listen to music on the radio. The repairs are almost done, and the paint is also almost finished. In just a few days time, we will be ready to move in. Looking at some of our old furnitures reminded me of my first encounter with Acne, it was the first day of my grade 6 class then and I was shocked to find a huge pimple on my face! I wish they had information like exposed acne treatment reviews available back then to help out clueless teenagers, well, I made it through the day alive so still no complaints. My son Z will hopefully have less issues with acne, and we will make sure that we are there when he sees his first pimple to help him out. Moving into this house will definitely bring back memories, and hopefully it can help me in guiding my son properly.

Moving out work out
This will be the 3rd time that we will be moving out so I have a fairly good idea of what it entails – sweat and back breaking lifting of boxes, furniture and appliances! As the years go by, we incurr a few more furnitures and fixtures which become additional burden on moving out days. Maybe I should check out alli reviews or hit the Time Works excercise machine to prepare my self for the hard work to come in this coming weekend. Our apartment is already filled with boxes and I have instructed our helper to not fillup the boxes too much so it can be carried easily and so that the box won’t break. Come that day I pray that the Lord will give us the strength to carry the things out and the strength to carry on in our new home.

Moving far away
Since we currently live around 15 minutes of drive time away from work or (equivalent to 1 trike and 1 jeepney ride), my wife and son would from time to time go to my office and we would go out and eat or they would hang out with me at the ending hours of my shift. Yesterday we did just that, I helped my wife do some errands during my break and introduced my son to some of my co-workers. When I logged out, we even watched Shrek Forever After (I reviewed the movie here). Since we are moving, I realized that the next time this will happen, my wife and son will be travelling a longer distance. It will probably take a while before they can fetch me from work again. While looking at term life insurance quotes I wonder, is the property really worth the hassle and inconvenience? I hope – yes.

A Fatal Affair
For some reason, I love true crime shows. I don’t know what it is, but they pique my interest every time. Maybe it’s because watching stories about such bad people makes me feel better about myself, but that’s just a guess.
The other night I watched an old 48 Hours episode on the WE channel on direct tv. WE stands for Women’s Entertainment. I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a man that was watching women’s television. It’s not like I was watching The Golden Girls or a soap opera or anything. This show was based on a real murder investigation, and like most of them, it was creepy.
The bad guy’s name was Wayne Guidry. That name just sounds like it belongs to a bad guy. I don’t even feel comfortable writing his name and increasing his reputation, since that’s all he has left, but I felt it necessary to provide a name. The bottom line is that Wayne Guidry is a murderer and he’s paying for it with a life sentence without the possibility of parole. But you’re probably wondering how this murder happened.
Please forgive me for not remembering the victim’s name. I will call her Rose since she was a beautiful 29-year-old woman. The husband’s name was Tim. In most cases, when a murder takes place, you’re immediately going to suspect the husband or wife. This is something I have picked up on from watching all these true crime shows. This particular show was one of the few cases where it was different.
Since Tim and Rose were fighting so much, Rose took up the offer from a friend to go visit a local bar and have a few drinks. Wayne spotted her and immediately took action. They built a relationship and would soon take romantic drives into the deep woods. Tim, the husband, was unaware of this. He didn’t even suspect anything when Rose moved out. He figured the space would be good for her for awhile.
Wayne didn’t truly love Rose. He wanted what Tim had – a beautiful wife and money. One night, Wayne drove Rose out to their favorite spot. He got her out of the car, pulled a gun on her, and stated, “Marriage or death.” Rose did not give in to his odd and lethal proposal. Unfortunately, it was the final response she would ever give.
Rose’s mother didn’t get a call from her daughter the next day. She knew something was wrong. It took a long time, but with help from several parties, everything eventually came together. Wayne Guidry is now rotting away in a tiny cell somewhere in Louisiana. Good riddance!
