So I received a couple of packages today and got all these wonderful things for FREE! XD
First up was from Procter& Gamble(P&G) they sent me Dreambaby growing safely (2 Sliding locks & 2 safety catches) also a letter which also contains very important informations about their safety program and other things to keep in mind when it comes to safety like:
- Keep cleaning products & other chemicals safely away from the reach of children.For added reassurance, use a latch to lock cabinets & drawers.
-Keep area's Poison Control center number near the phone.
-Put Plastic covers on electric outlets.
-Have a well stocked first aid kit.Should include
-activated charcoal,adhesive tape,antiseptic ointment,adhesive bandages,blanket,cold pack,disposable gloves,gauze pads,roller gauze,hand cleaner,plastic bag,scissors,tweezers,flashlight,batteries,triangular bandages.
-Install Carbon monoxide alarms on every level of your home.
Just a quick run down the basics ^^,
I think this is great especially when you got little ones and the image below is just to show you what it's like(sorry I know it's small but if you can read it whoa!)
At the back are instructions how to easily install these locks.
Very Helpful!

My Review: 2.5 stars out of 5 stars
I have no idea what this was about until I've read the description and it looks interesting so I requested a copy and got approved then got an ebook via Netgalley (Thanks guys). I haven't read Vol. 1 but that didn't stop me from reading vol. 2.And I think this is one of those graphic novels that you don't necessarily have to read the first one so you could understand the second one.I did not have any difficulty grasping the story or the character(s).
The story and characters are very realistic,human,had some short comings but it was very fast paced,some intense actions here and there.There's little character development.Lots of room for improvement.
It was a quick read, quite interesting but not enough to get me hooked and be obsess with it.I found the colors boring sometimes too dark,the contrast,schemes & backgrounds could have been better vibrant so it could define the boldness of every scenario (perhaps they're trying to go with a classic vibe) though I must say that the jump scene was pretty impressive but too movie cliche all that running could have been prevented if the other character isn't that careless which got me so irritated the story in circles with no leads ugh so frustrating but without that sort of dilemma we don't have a story to begin with so that's that.In the end it was sorta revealed in a cliff hanger and still under investigation who screwed up.The Bonus rocks but sucks big time truly a hassle that ruined the moment with Dex disappointed face.The D.E.A & Police could have handled it with more class and yes I agree with Dex "Respect".I like how Greg Rucka have this portion wherein he tried to fill in explain his favorite books,side of the story,very enlightening & informative ,what is stumptown & whereabouts that made me want to read more and discover what's next perhaps maybe read vol. 1 or vol 3 just so I could find the root of it all and see it all unfold.This is the first piece of work I've read by Greg Rucka so I'm not familiar with his style it was alright so-so like he said on part five he write bad mysteries solving the puzzle isn't the story the journey is.
So yeah...I haven't done this before.At first I was thinking I would dye my hair in every color possible then go bald but if I'm only gonna do one thing going bald would be quite drastic (I think) I mean hair is very important to everyone especially to girls (or is it just me? ;))) I hope you can support me in this endeavor ^_^ click my picture and it will redirect you to the official page to vote for me or click here ^_~

I went to the site the day after it has been terminated (May 1,2013) and reborn.It was one of those sites I truly trust for they don't resize your pictures even after a couple of years.Although it was used majority by business folks I do admit and now it is.It looks more like amazon or ebay now with lots of trust worthy partners for easy payment & shipping perhaps.
So what is multiply?
for me way back in the day it was kind of a social media [(time period: friendster was booming) just like facebook]
you can:
-create albums
-upload pictures 20 at a time (which is quite a bummer esp. if you have lots to share)
-post videos
-blog
-create your own tag
-tag people
-make your own business (sell merch and other stuff)
-customize everything (from header,background,font size,color you name it) (kinda like tumblr but no not really haha)
It was really nice.I know I need to work on my description but I don't have any picture of that old site nor layout to show you just this old logo I found.
Ugh didn't quite help..well all my pictures and stuff are long gone but I think I might have them stored in a cd somewhere.The interwebs these days.Part of the evolution process I guess.Ok time to resume to whatever it is I'm doing.Just a bit of commemoration .
I remember way back in the day when Friendster isn't a game site I was curious what's the fuss about this new site called Facebook. Majority of my friends encouraged me to sign up but I declined many times but I changed my mind one day before lining up in the quadrangle in my school for the morning shift.A very good friend of mine since freshman year told me about this wonderful game Pet Society I was greatly enthralled with his stories along with other folks that joined and shared their experiences so after school I immediately signed up and it was really fun.I discovered a lot of things,customized everything,visited my pals frequently as if it's one of the basic see you after school activity.It became a part of my life.It was really awesome!
Then comes Sims Social I waited a very long time for it to be released.Even though there's quite a lot of lags the first time I still persist and pushed through heck this is like one of my favorite gameplay in playstation and now it's on facebook AMAZING! I'm so excited and glad a lot of my friends played and enjoyed the same thing.
And now after so many years I know it's been a while one of my best friend in the entire world told me that they will abolish it.I was devastated! so I went to check out a couple of forums and I really hope it's just a cruel joke like hey it's april don't take it seriously.
I'll miss everything about it.Thank you Playfish and EA GAMES [(challenge everything) but looks like you lose this time].I hope and pray you'll have a great comeback and perhaps release pet society on Playstation or XBOX.

The first two episodes made me cry T_T and got me hooked! lots of backstories,so adorable,small sweet actions that's indeed heartwarming oh dear...Seo Hwa she's the character I love to hate with a passion! she's being irrational most of the time and full of herself but I can sometimes understand and try to emphatize with her.. So far my favorite is Wol Ryung he's so sweet and only wanted the happiness also to be with Seo Hwa as a human ,great guy,nice personality and strong kick ass character love (Seo Hwa) is his weakness...Now a new legend begins..these two youngsters Dam Yeo-wool [(left)Bae Suzy] master of martial arts & achery & Choi Kang-chi [(right)Lee Seung-gi] Seo hwa & Wol Ryung's son.

Story:
The Imperial Coin cast that used to mint coins was stolen.Department Six and the Divine Constabulary(secret investigatory department sanctioned by the royal prince) is working on the case.Even though the cast was recovered.Zhuge Zhengwo[(Right picture)guy in the middle with a beard] the leader of the Divine Constabulary told his group the stolen cast case is not yet over.
Meet the Characters:
Zhuge Zhengwo (Anthony Wong), Leader of the Divine Constabulary,He also got amazing & lethal martial art skills.There are some parts of the story in which he might know something else much more than what it's intended than others.He's a really great guy that holds the group together, tries to unite & hire the best of the best.
Yayu, [(Emotionless)Crystal Liu Yi Fei,] she's a cripple mind reader also known for hidden secret weapons.She might not have a lot of dialogues but whenever she spoke oh man! definitely full of wisdom & meaning! she spoke of the truth of course and because of her powers she knows & use animals such as birds as a spy.Definitely a humble kickass female character her fight scenes are awesome! Especially near the end it was EPIC! her martial art skills is quite flawless inspite of her condition. I'll ship her & Leng Lingqi XD
Leng Lingqi (Deng Chao),suspended from his constable due to breach of duty,secretly works for Lord Liu.Leng was then hired and works under the Divine Constabulary.He has a lot of character conflicts,developments and tried to hide some of his wolf like instincts. He like Yayu but can't say it but he knows she knows it due to her powers.
Yaohua (Jiang Yiyan), Leader of a warrior girl group assigned to the fourth constable.She secretly works for Lord An Shigeng & love Leng Lingqi.Her trust and loyalty is somewhat unstable in some instances but was revealed in the end.
Lord An Shigeng (Wu Xiubo), the bastard that has a lot of hidden agendas (I don't wanna state it here for it will spoil a lot of stuff for you). I hate this guy which makes him a really good antagonist.
There's definitely lots of amazing characters in this story!
Cui Lueshang [(Left)Ronald Cheng],a professional debt collector,he knows the underground market well & loves his wine he said he stayed at the Divine Constabulary & continue to work there because of it plus other perks.
Tie Youxia [(Right)Collin Chou],
one of the great martial artist.I also call him Iron man/man with an Iron fist haha! look at his cool tattoos :O
Now that you finally know some tid bits about the characters and the story let me tell you my overall reaction and movie experience...OMG! it was amazingly awesome! (you might saw it coming though haha) well it was somewhat traditionally executed but I love it the very beginning,the opening scenes with the chinese flute like music background and the bird flying around it was smooth and what I'm totally expecting for a chinese film.
The fight scenes are gorgeous! I have no idea what this whole movie is about til I watched it and I love every second of it.There's high and low points between characters,lots of hidden plots and agendas being covered and uncovered.Quite a classic & a mood changer for me.One of the best chinese films I ever saw! They say it was based on a book,classic novel I'm definitely looking forward to read it.
