Naruto, Deathnote, Bleach and now Soul Eater. These animes are easily downloaded from torrent and p2ps. But what if you wanted an anime you've watched when you were younger, and youve searched and searched the internet for download links? Chances are you wont find it or you've got a torrent file with 0 to 1 seeds.

Now, Legend of Condor Heroes is one of my most favorite animes. Its one that boasts that you dont need to spend much on creating a good anime. Its the story that carries all animes and everything you watch. Without the story, an anime is nothing. (Thats why FFX was and still is very addicting).

Where did i find my download?

Right here at animea.net, you'll find tons and tons of animes you never imagined you'd find in the internet.

Now before going through the download links, i suggest you install the megaupload toolbar. CLICK HERE Thats of course, unless youre a premium member of a file hosting site.

See, rapidshare limits your download every hour to 1. You'd have to wait a few or more (its actually MORE) minutes before you can download another file from them. Megaupload, meanwhile, gives 50 slots for a certain country that can download a file from them. But, if you've got the toolbar installed, you can download the next file immediately after your first download ends. Cool, huh?

Alright, enough of that. Enjoy your downloads.


Yeh yeh. I know you all know that line by now. But this is just what came to my mind when i heard about the latest news on the FHM Top 100 Sexiest Women voting. The public is given power to choose who they think deserves the award and instead votes for who they are idolizing. See, guys, just because you like someone, it doesnt make it right to vote for him/her in all things he/she wants to enter.

The country already has its share of mistakes here. I myself am a victim of this. I got wind that I was the first choice for a certain job position, but someone who knew someone got it instead. Presidential elections is a very big example for what Im trying to say here. We all probably know what elections we've had our share of mistakes.

Anyways,let me direct you to where the FHM Ranting is happenning.

I'll tell you what I think. Everyone commenting there realizes they have great power. Everyone throwing dirt on a network, magazine, candidate, instead of explaining why her candidate must be the winner, is not doing his/her responsibility.

The latest update on the tallies, by the way. Thanks to espiya.net for the info

It is very rare to find a movie where you just want to stay glued to your seat just to watch every second of it. In an action movie for example, you may want to go make yourself a sandwich during a few drama moments. You can do without the kissing and bed scenes in a romantic movie. And you can do without the singing in some of those disney movies.

Trust me, this movie will make you want to spend every second watching it from start to finish.



Everyone loves a good romantic movie especially if the comedy and drama part is not forced. This is where this movie excels. I dont want to spoil the story to you. I'd like you to enjoy it the way I did.

Go grab a copy of 200 pounds beauty (and make sure its got subtitles, alright?)

Take a Picture of Your Favorite Website

by Johny Cross | 12:48 PM in | comments (0)

Back in the year 2005, Friendster started opening its profiles to its members allowing them to modify the way their profiles look like via CSS and HTML coding. 3 years later, and everyone will take at least 2 to 3 hours per week just to do a little tinkering with his/her profile.

If you think your profile is cool enough and you want to show it to someone, or perhaps post a picture of it in your scrapbook, you could go the PRINT SCREEN PASTE way but that will only get you to less than half of the entire page.

Webshots is a free application that takes a picture of your profile - actually, it takes pictures of any webpage you want it to - and saves it automatically into a jpeg file in your computer. Pretty neat huh???

If there was one song that have been popularized by many different singers, its "And Im Telling You Im not Going by Jennifer Holiday". The song is one that does not wither. Its one song you'd probably want to sing when you're in the bathtub or taking a shower just to amaze yourself you can sing it. Here you go, videos of the different personalities that have a part of the song.

Resumes

by Johny Cross | 5:40 PM in | comments (0)

Im back here in Manila and this time, im trying my fortune on some work abroad. I have just been to an agency, and boy, that was some adventure.

One thing I can share about this here in this post is this:

College life is fun. But it is a very important period in your life. See, once you get off college, its time to start building your resumes. Coz, once youre through with college, what will you have in your resume? Think about it.

Now, for those who are well in life, they could go for some volunteer jobs and seminar trainings their parents can sponsor. But for those who want immediate employment, i think its better if you can fill up your resume from things that come your college years. Join a club, or be a student council officer, or display your talents. Its these little things that will tell your employer that you have commitment to your duties and that you arent passive but willing to develop yourself more and more.

So, its ok to have get some dates, have a night out with friends, do some wild things. But take some time to do something you can write on your resume, ok???

Need I say more? Kobe chokes.

by Johny Cross | 5:55 PM in | comments (0)

If you've read my prediction about the NBA playoffs, you'll see that i was right. If the lakers were to stop the celtics, they needed to stop Paul Pierce. They didnt and now they go to their 2nd straight Finals loss.

Now, most people are really happy (and there's something evil with that happiness) about Kobe and his team losing. This may be alright but - we have to be objective and impartial about this - Kobe is a great player. Sure, he's got attitude problems but all in all, you pick a guy in the NBA that you want to put in a 1 vs 5 situation, trust me, youll be picking this guy.

Now, enough of that already. Let's go to the Celtics' side.

During last year's off season, I was very excited to know who won the Garnett lottery. I was hoping it would be the Mavs, but I opened NBA.com and wow, there it was, Garnett was going to Boston, and the turnaround began.

Garnett's presence and playing skills gave the Celtics the best record this season, but believe it or not, the key role went to Paul Pierce the day the playoffs began.

Game 7 of their first and second rounders prove this. Pierce gave them hope the time they were feeling low.

This is the very essence of Basketball now. A Paint cluttered with big men trying to stop a smaller guy from scoring. That's all there is to it. It doesn't matter if you've got a good outside shooter (Sorry, Allen). It doesn't matter if you've got the best big man (Sorry KG). What Matters is if your shooting guard can attack the basket and create.

This 6 game series was filled with lots of those moments from Pierce and just a few from Kobe. If you take Garnett and Allen out, the games would still have been close. But if Pierce was out, it would have been doomsday celtics. See, Pierce (and Kobe) has this ability to push even if others are down. They are almost unstoppable. The only person that can actually stop them are their own selves.

Now, Pierce doesnt know it but he believes he is unstoppable because Garnett and Allen were there. This is where Kobe failed. He looked at his teammates as if they were second raters to the other team. I was waiting for him to go God Mode. He didn't. In the end, it wasnt the Celtics that stopped Kobe, it was himself.

Erotica sucks....

I bought FHM Annual Collectors Magazine while I was at Manila. If you notice the cover, it says Ladies Confession Special. Well, sorry to say this but whoever bought the damn thing would be half disappointed.

The whole point to the Ladies Confession Title is that its about girls telling stories of their naughty doings. That, and a few photos and sketches of what guys like to drool on.

I ripped the plastic covering and opened the first page of my newly owned magazine and there I saw names of, guess what, Writers..and when I say writers, I meant professional ones. Let me make it clear that I'm not against arts and literature. I have my share of them at home and also love to collect them (I'll probably post about the 20 copies of the little mythology book someday). But FHM is FHM...sigh

So there I was, I turned to some pages. Sure I liked the photos, but Im not after that either. Whats the purpose of a reading material if you dont read it? Then I read some of the stories. I confirmed it in less than an hour. This isnt Confessions, its literary fantasy, with more emphasis on literary than fantasy.

Oh well, it is a collector's item. But...what a disappointment.

Some Crazy Guys in Cubao

by Johny Cross | 10:05 PM in | comments (0)

I was riding a taxi when we passed by Cubao, and then I saw this



Forgive me for the blurry image but it was all my Nokia6230i can do. There are 4 lunatics hanging outside the jeepney. What the picture doesnt show you is how the jeepney kept swerving from left to right. I knew that it was the driver's intention to scare those crazy guys. See, look here...



There are a lot of empty spaces inside the jeepney for these monkeys to sit on, but they choose to enjoy a brush with death. Hopefully, the government can look into this problem.

Just Arrived From StressVille

by Johny Cross | 7:27 PM in | comments (0)

I just got back from my trip to Manila, and boy, was that ever a very stressful week. For the 4 days I was there, I had to go everyday to at least 3 different places. Recto, Gilmore, Cubao, Ortigas, Pasig, and many others. It exhausted my wallet, and my energy.

The one thing thats really frustrating is that every cafe I go to, they either don't have the applications I need, or that they are running a cafe software that limits the applications you can use, depending upon the service you require. I wanted to play my favorite online game, but they block the internet browsers if you do that. Then if i do surf the net, the games would be gone. Grrrrrr!!! That really, really sucks.

I will share a few experiences on my next post, but right now, I prefer hitting the sack. Matutulog na ako!!! Sweet Dreams to ME!!!

And a Happy Fathers Day to every father out there.

Aaarrrgggghhh!!!!

by Johny Cross | 5:23 PM in | comments (0)

I know i missed a post that was due for yesterday, but i've got an excuse. I had to leave for Manila, again. Haha. Perhaps I could attend that New Online Game Launching Event at Glorietta. Anyway, I was riding a train on my way to Gilmore when the sky suddenly grew dark, and then, KRRRRRRRRKKKKZT!!!! Right in front of me, I saw this very bright lightning strike the ground. It stayed there for about 5 to 6 seconds. Thats enough time for me to reach for my cellphone and take a shot but alas, my battery's empty. Thats what I get for forgetting to bring my charger. Might as well buy a cheap one while I'm here somewhere at SM Sta. Mesa waiting for the rain to subside.

Aaaaaaaaarrrghhh!!!

The sky kinda went angry late this afternoon and the sound of thunder was so loud you thought a black out is inevitable. Thank goodness, it didnt happen. See, its times like these you may want to have a cup of coffee while enjoying that cool sensation brought about by vapors in the wind.

And speaking of coffee, you may want to try some of these....

NBA Finals My prediction

by Johny Cross | 8:32 PM in | comments (0)

It is now just a few hours before the greatest rivalry in basketball history will yet again meet on the grandest battlefield. Perhaps after this series (and season) is over, we will come to a realization. This is no longer the game decided by whoever has the big men. The NBA today has come to a battle of shooting guards. It has become that battle that the NBA drafts we had for the past few years, has very little to offer when it comes to the number 2 position.

See, long ago, it was the battle of big men. Bill Russel was the player to symbolize the big man of NBA. When your big man is good, you'd win your championship. Then came Abdul Jabbar, with his unstoppable hook shot.

Come, the age of the 90s and Michael Jordan started to prove that if you cant stop the 2, then youre in bid trouble. He's got 6 rings to prove that. Early 2000 and Kobe did that, 3 times.

The Spurs and Pistons did come in, but see, during this time, no shooting guards were good enough to stop them. In fact, the very essence of their style of play was to stop the shooting guard from scoring. Do that and you win, Fail and you lose.

Now, its Kobe's time in the spotlight. He has endured the best style that is capable of stopping a 2. This time, if he has to win, then that wont be the style he needs to deal with, but his very own. Im talking about Paul Pierce, the Celtic's number 2. Whoever stops the other will win for his team a championship, i guarantee that. Whoever plays better will win it.

Foreign Movie of the Day

by Johny Cross | 7:18 PM in | comments (0)

Since Pinoy Movies have finally started to gain notice in international competitions, the last one being "Serbis" at the Cannes Festival, I'm thinking the Pinoys should further their horizons when it comes to movie entertainment. Sure, we want to watch Spielberg's star wars, or the next Transformers movie, as well as the very-missed Sex and the City movie, but guess what? The Americans and the Englishmen arent the only great movie makers out there. We've proven that. In fact, thats what we were shouting in those newspapers and tv shows, right? Its that Pinoys are great movie makers too.

Well, youre wrong. The message was actually what i already said. That the americans and the englishmen arent the only great filmmakers out there. There are thousands of them, coming from different nationalities. Pinoys Too!!!

Speaking of a great foreign movie, here's a treat. Korean. Since we love to watch Filipino-dubbed korean tv shows, we might as well watch their movies right? Right?



This is a clip from the movie Sex is Zero, one of the highest grossing box office movie in Korea. I suggest you get a copy, coz its worth your time watching, trust me.



When i first watched the movie, it was without subtitles. And I could understand most of their actions. Haha!!! You will too, im sure. But just in case, go get one with subtitles.

Just to warn you, the movie has 3 bed scenes, 2 of them with frontal exposures.

Here's something that I want to share. You know how almost everyone has a cellphone, especially in our country. The convincing power of "piso per text" is just so strong that even those considered to be poor already owns a cellphone, most of them with built in cameras.

This is an article from yahoo personals and I thought you may want to read it.

For those of you who use text messaging as a form of communication with someone you're dating, whether you have a BlackBerry or an Apple iPhone, text messaging is the most abused and misinterpreted form of communication out there.
There are some things for which text messaging is great. It's great for confirming things ("See you tonight at 7:00 at Joe's Restaurant.") It's great as a good night kiss ("Did you get home safely?"). It's great to reconfirm things ("What time are we meeting on Sunday? Let me know.") It's great for when you want to lob in a quick message to someone when they can't talk on the phone ("Can't wait to see you tonight.")
Texting is all about short conversations, and can be useful and fun in the dating context. Texting used in certain other ways, however, gets ugly within the dating context -- and can really get you into trouble. Some of these uses should be avoided because they can cause unintended misunderstandings, while others are simply bad manners or outright rude!
So, here are seven of the biggest misuses of texting that you should avoid in the dating context:
1. Save the Jokes. One drawback of texting (as with any written form of communication) is that it is sometimes difficult to convey the tone of what you write. Words are often misinterpreted. You can text somebody something that you think is a joke, and they don't read it that way. This will get you into trouble, because they may never call you back and give you the opportunity to straighten out the misunderstanding. So if you want to tell someone you're dating a joke, it's best to save it and tell it to them in person.

2. Texting is Not Intended to Cancel a Date. If you don't want to see somebody again, you need to call them and cancel the plans. Texting is the chicken way to blow someone off, whether you ever intended to see them again or not. Texting is not an excuse to be rude. Be a grown-up and pick up the phone.

3. Don't Ask Someone Out via Text Message. Women especially can't stand when a guy asks them out via text messaging. Every woman I've spoken to thinks that when a guy asks them out via text message, that he really is not that interested in them. They all wish a guy would just pick up the phone. Guys, if you're interested then be a man and just pick up the phone! Granted, some women will say yes to a text date, but they will always prefer if you call them.

4. Avoid the 'Morning After' Text. If you had a great date with someone the night before, don't text the person the minute you get up the next morning. Wait a few hours. Let the post-date recap settle down on both sides. Give someone a little time to think about you. There's no harm in waiting a few hours, especially after a first date. You don't want to look over-anxious.

5. Keep the Texting to a Minimum. Once you've texted back and forth a few times, and unless one of you is in a Turkish prison being tortured by a not-so-friendly cell mate, you need to pick up the phone and have a real conversation. You will not discover whether you share a true connection with someone by conversing with them via text message. Also, as two adults, you need to have an actual voice-to-voice conversation. So go ahead and exchange a few texts, but then get yourself on the phone!

6. You May Not Get an Answer. Just because you texted someone, doesn't mean they're going to respond. This is another issue with using text messaging as your main communication method -- especially in the dating context. You're texting back and forth with someone, then you send something to them and they don't respond. They may have gotten on the phone. They may have fallen asleep. They may have gone into a meeting. Because texting is so impersonal, though, you don't know what happened to them.

7. You Are Left Wondering. Let's say you texted someone on a Tuesday, they responded to your text, you texted them again and... now it's Friday and they still haven't texted back. What does someone do in that situation? They may not be keeping a text count like you are. They may have forgotten to text you back because they got on a long phone call or got caught up in some work, and your text may have gotten lost. Let me ask you a question? Do you answer every email that comes in... or does one sometimes get buried and go unanswered? If you haven't heard from someone in a few days, pick up the phone and call them. You never know what they're response is going to be. Most of the time you're going to be pleasantly surprised, but all of the time you're going to get your answer. That's what dating is all about... getting answers. Plus, you won't drive yourself and your friends crazy wondering.
There's a lot of misinterpretation that can happen via text messaging. Understanding all of the seven reasons above will help you navigate the fun side of texting in dating, while helping you avoid the bad side of texting in dating.
Texting is a great way have a little verbal flirting to stay connected in someone's life. It's not a replacement for a phone conversation. So if you're hoarding your cell phone minutes, I suggest you contact your provider and get some more minutes. Start having conversations again instead of hiding behind text messaging!

June Bride

by Johny Cross | 7:27 PM in | comments (0)

Ever wonder why women loves to have their weddings in June? Well, here is the reason. The term June Bride was actually made famous by a movie with the same title.

Here's the synopsis from wikipedia





Foreign correspondent Carey Jackson returns to New York City when his newspaper's Vienna office is closed and is offered a job on a women's magazine called Home Life. He accepts the position only because it will put him in daily contact with editor Linda Gilman, whom he once loved. Linda is averse to the idea because of his leaving her three years earlier, but agrees she'll hire him if he'll keep their relationship on a strictly professional level.

The two head for the Brinker home in Crestville, Indiana to prepare a feature story about eldest daughter Jeanne's wedding to Bud Mitchell for the June issue. Linda wants Carey to write a simple story about the young couple, but he insists on looking for an angle, which presents itself in the form of Jeanne's younger sister Barbara, who confesses she always has been in love with Bud, the brother of Jeanne's former beau Jim, who was dumped by Jeanne when he joined the Army. At first Carey proposes they ask an officer he knows to order Jim home for the wedding, but thinks better of it, knowing he'll lose his job if the wedding plans are disrupted. Barbara, however, secretly telephones Carey's friend and arranges a leave for Jim.

Complications ensue when Jim arrives home and Carey tries to get rid of him while Linda, unaware of the reality of the situation, intervenes and makes him stay. Jim and Jeanne elope, Linda fires Carey, Carey feigns interest in Barbara to make Bud jealous, and the scheme succeeds, with Bud proposing to Barbara. Despite losing his job, Carey writes his story, Linda realizes he always knew the truth about the couples, and the two reconcile.
