Fairy in the Bottle

Don’t talk to me…I’m very depressed right now. You know, Roldan and Zombie are missing. I guess they are now in fairy realm. I tell you something (whispering) that place isn’t very nice and magical like you always dreams about. I heard that Roldan is still searching for Zombie. Maybe they got separated when they entered the fairy realm.

So what I really wanted to do now is to make a few wishes. Hope they will come back real soon…Let’s start wishing. But first you will need to prepare something.



You will need: A4 papers (assorted colours), a see-through bottle, scissors, glue, glitter glue, wrapping paper, ribbon and embellishing objects (stickers/stamps *optional)




Make the wishes:

1. Cut the A4 papers into 1cm x 20cm.
2. Then fold the cut papers into origami stars.
3. Start decorating the bottle when you finished folding.
4. Cut some wrapping paper and glue it on top of the cover/cap.
5. Tight a ribbon around the cover/cap.
6. Put all the folded origami stars into the bottle.
7. Seal the bottle filled with your wishes.

Please don’t stop wishing people. Keep putting stars inside the jar as you do, who knows maybe your wishes will come true. I really wish to see Roldan and Zombie again right now…because I don’t want to be alone here in this place called Earth (I’m lost). Yeah, that’s me The Lost Faerie. ‘Till we meet again…

Michael Jackson tribute by Frosted Cigar

Hello guys! How’s it going on? For me, I’m still drifting at the sea looking for my friend Zombie. No luck yet, but I won’t give up.

I felt a great urge to write this post even though I really should be concentrating around for traces Zombie left for me. But as a dedicated fan of the world of entertainments, I realized that I had to pay my respect.



A shocking news, stirring and spreading on Thursday 25 June was about someone who earn the title King Of Pop, named Michael Jackson. Of course we have heard this name several times in our life, whether out of popularity or publicity. Looking back when I was kid, he was one of my favorite singer, entertaining my ears with the song ‘Black and White’, ‘You are not alone’, ‘Thriller’, ‘Beat it’ and a few songs that I may not remember. But still, he was a legacy that will ring loud and clear for the next decade.

And recently, on the age of 50, he made an attempt to relive the legend he created when he was young, setting a concert which was supposed to be on 13 July at the stage in London Famed 02 arena. He was prepared and his dance moves were polished, expecting a success by the hard efforts, but fate took an unexpected dive and all turned upside down. At the age of 50, Michael died after he was sent from rented home in the posh Los Angeles neighborhood of Holmby Hills under the care of UCLA medical center.

He was believed to suffer cardiac arrest that leads to his demise. It is a possible effect of heart attack or other heart problems.



Michael had been singing all his life, ever since he was a little boy. Jackson 5, formed by him and his 4 brothers had made an early impression for his talent with their hit songs, ‘I want you back’, ‘ABC’, ‘I’ll be there’. He was 4 during that time and was the lead singer in this group.

Now, who don’t know about backward gliding moonwalk, rhythmic squeal, and crotch grabbing robotic dance? I remember myself trying to imitate the dance when I was little, clamping my hat while doing the moonwalk. Well, Michael Jackson was the one who introduced it all, and it will always be an episodic memory of him.

No matter how hard you deny it, Michael was the biggest star in the world of pop despite his allegations of kid sexual assaults that we may heard of. His name was engraved in memory on the right side of Elvis Presley. He was the king of pop and will stay that way even though his soul won’t be singing again in the future.

For this, Frosted Cigar tipped the brim of its hat and bow to pay homage for a great loss to the world of entertainment.

Zombies mercenary… status, LOST

Bad news people! (Panting) Super freakin’ bad news for you all.

I’m not sure how to tell you about this. This is quite sentimental and hard for me to say and I really really hate to tell you any of it, but I had to. I had to inform the reader of Frosted Cigar, by hook or by crook. Or else you’ll never know what I’m up to and why.

The news, yes the news… (exhaled deeply)

You all had been acquaintance with Zombie Extraordinaire yes? Well, I’ve been trying to contact him for the past few days, but his phone was dead all the time. But I didn’t easily give up. I kept calling and calling him like a thousand times and his mailbox kept pushing and pushing me away with threats and daunting kind of lines… It goes, “Zombie is busy digging a grave, burning corpse and igniting apocalypse. Just leave your message after the braying laughter…” And it laughed for 3 minutes straight.

So I was kind of worried about him. Lately he was so into this apocalypse thing and sometimes he even sketched a picture of the crumbling world while he sleeps. People in blazing brassiere and torn boxers running side by side away from explosions and meteorites. I’m concerned. So yesterday, I knocked on his door to check. But nobody was there… I caught a glimpse of a very strange pentacle on one side of his wall through the gaps. My concerns looming, so I broke the door and get in. (Sorry about this Zombie, wherever you are). And what I saw is remarkable and evil at the same time. He was on to something… and he was gone!

But stay calm! I’m going to save him from whatever retching business he got, or whoever that had kidnapped him. I’m really confused here and I can’t think of a place to start searching. But Zombie did a random drawing on a piece of paper laying down on the floor. There’re wavy lines here and there, circles and more lousy circles, and something looked like Christmas tree. I think it’s Pacific Ocean. And that’s where I’m going to start.

Can you check him out here while I'm away? Thanks people. You've been a great help...

I won’t be long people… I'll get back as soon as I can and I promise you more entertainment news when I got back. Please keep reading Frosted Cigar… and I love you guys!

Sail Ho!!!!!!

Robert Pattinson’s bodyguard - “Twilight fans!! Ye be warned!”

After being a powerful vampire in twilight, Robert Pattinson thought that he could stop a Manhattan taxi with bare hands, but instead got ran flat by it like a wet bread. Heh heh. I really shouldn’t joke like that. I hope twilight fans didn’t passed out. Come on! It’s a joke! Your Edward Cullen is still alive and kicking, and still leaping around Hollywood in an unimaginable speed.

However, part of the joke is true though. He was indeed got hit by a taxi after filming a scene for his new movie “Remember Me” in front of a bookstore in Manhattan. Don’t die yet, just hear me out okay? And let this story be a good example for all the twilighters around the globe.

Okay now, where were we? Right. When he was filming the scene, a group of hysterical teenage fans gathered outside the bookstore and waited by his trailer for him to come out. I’m sure they have no harmful intentions for the twilight star, but let’s face it. If you’re a hot and have a paleface like a vampire, people will be hysterical whenever they got the chance to be near you. Papparazi and fanatics will follow your breadcrumb trails like zombies and never let you live your life as you like. So you run!

However, when he was running across the street, a taxi driver (probably a twilight hater) hit him on the road. Poor Robert huh? But rest assured. There was no harm done except for some light injuries and cold pounding heartbeats that made him paler than ever. And according for RadarOnline.com who claimed to witness the accident, one of his bodyguards yelled at the girls who suffered a far more serious injury than Robert Pattinson. A disease and I believed that disease is called “I killed Robert Pattinson” disease. Highly dangerous! It could lead to suicide!

The bodyguard yelled, “You see what you did! You almost killed him!”

So dear twilighters, please don’t be so obsessed and let Robert live his free life. Don’t chase him, because you might kill him, and there would be no sequel for twilight anymore. And Hollywood would lose its hottest properties who just got voted as the world’s most handsome man by online readers of Vanity Fair. Now, you wouldn’t want that to happen, won’t you?

Happy Father's Day!! Please take my humble gift...

Hello again guys! How are y’all doing? Everything’s alright? I surely hope so… As for all the fathers who were reading this blog, Happy Father’s Day to you all! Remember to be a nice daddy so that your little Santa will send gifts to you.

You know, I was having my dinner at a stall yesterday, and there was this guy wearing a cool shirt. You see, it was not the design that attracted my attention; it was the words printed on it. It’s totally cool! It reads… “Eat well, Stay fit, Die anyway.” Nice huh? It’s funny, but true anyway.

Okay now… back to the topic of this post. As for today, in honor of Father’s day, I would like to share a story with all of you. It’s something I wrote some time ago. Well, I like to write stories about relationships, and as for this story, it’s a story about the relationships of a father and a son. Read it, who knows you might love it. Heh heh! And don’t forget to leave a comment. Anything’s fine with me… So, here goes…

Title: Dreamer

“It’s my life!! Mine!!” My heart sizzled in anger as I glared towards the arrogant old man in front of me.

“And I’m your father!!” His voice boomed, louder than mine. My mother stood in between, confused on which side she should be standing. I don’t blame her and I couldn’t care less of on whom side she would be. For the moment, only the stupid mad entity before me that matter.

The argument began at the point when I said that I wanted to quit my job to follow my dream to be a writer. Well, you could say that I was an idiot who walked away from the path of life to chase an indefinite dream and I wouldn’t say that you’re wrong. However, the choice is mine and none of others’ judgment could change my mind.

I flicked my eyes to my mother before turning away towards the doorway. I managed to halt my steps right at the doorsteps and glanced towards my parents for one last time before I ventured into a stretching colorless and impeding land outside. My heart cried, but it didn’t reach my throat for them to hear. Bearing sadness inside my chest, I went away. And there were no hugs and kisses made for my goodbye, just a pair of disapproving eyes.

A week passed since I waded on my path of dream. None of my stories was published yet, but I never give up. Until one day, I received an unexpected phone call from my mother. My heart was thudding fast as she told me that my father collapsed at work and now being admitted into a hospital. Without further hesitation, I went to the hospital immediately.

Upon arriving at the hospital, I just sat at the alleyway bench, observing every people passing by, feeling too afraid to be face to face with my father again. I knew I was the last person he expected to see. Or maybe, I didn’t know what to say to him anymore, but I know that my heart was dying to see him.

Then I saw a familiar face among the crowd in front of me. A loving face that forgives every wrongdoing and sins done and not one single day goes by without I dream of that face. She halted as she saw me and quickly strode to my side.

“Why didn’t you come in?” She asked as she sat. I just averted my eyes, trying to figure out the answer that question, knowing well that I don’t have one. She let out a subtle sigh and fixed her eyes away from my side.

“Let me tell you a story of a man I knew, very similar to you…” I frowned and turned to her.

“The one who pulled magic in everything he wrote…the one who never give up his dream.” She smiled and looked at me.

“But on one fateful day, he quitted. Do you know why?”
I shrugged.
“All because his lovely little son was born. Foods must be kept on the table, so he gave up…”

A weird sensation of pain struck my chest, melting my heart with regretful sorrow I wished I shed long time ago.

“I guess, an apple doesn’t fall far from its tree…” And she patted my lap tenderly before getting up and went away.

The next day I braved myself and went inside. And on the bed he laid, barely conscious under all the sufferings. My mother quickly got up on her feet and gave me a reassuring smile before she left us alone in that creepy room. For a moment, only the beeping sound of the unknown medical equipment filled the air between us.

“Hi dad…how do you feel today?” I managed to squeeze the words out of my lips. He didn’t even react and I wasn’t sure if he heard me or not.

I strolled closer towards his bed.
“Yesterday, mom told me a story of a guy…but it didn’t end well. The guy didn’t get what he wanted because of certain reason he didn’t wish others to know.” The air still froze in silence and nothingness.

“It wasn’t supposed to be that way. So, if it’s even possible, I would like to pick up where he left off in pursue for the happy ending…”

I bit my lips, not knowing what else I should say to him. I guess that was it. So I turned away and closed my eyes hard before I felt a feeble poke on my back. I twisted my head towards the old man’s eyes and saw the tears streaming down his wrinkling cheek. And his voice trembled between tears, struggling hard like a string of sprawling letters, but his words shine on, brighter than the sun at day and the stars at night.

“Go my son…make me proud…”

A year later my story was published, thanks to my agents. My father didn’t live long enough to see that day coming true, hence the first copy was placed on his concrete cemetery. Everything turned out alright since and I hope somewhere, someplace nice, my father is proud and smiled down upon the path of dreams I dedicated for him.

THE END

We all live in Zombie Submarine, Hey!

Hey there people. It seems that while I was away, I had caught some nasty bug and it drives me insane. My throat felt dry, eyes watery and worse, my nose felt like it is on fire (God, I hope I’m not turning into a Zombie). However, I am not here to b*tch about it. Actually, I am here for a book review.

So, let us get straight at it. I am going to be as brief as possible and restrain myself from spoiling the stories.

Chances are, you never heard about this book before or this author for that matter, and because of that, I would like to bring Walter Greatshell’s Xombies to the spotlight. Does this book works? Before I move on any further let us have a look at the premise for the story.


In Xombies, we meet Louis “Lulu” Pangloss while she was tagging along with her mother in order to look for her father, which she had never known before. She actually felt bad for the man as her mother was going to give him a hard time.

Written in first person point of view, we were told that she suffered from Chromosomal Primary Amenorrhea. The rare medical condition suspended her menstrual cycle, giving her an appearance of a much younger age than she really was. Lulu hated how her mom used her to gain sympathy from debt collectors. However, she did not realize that her rare medical condition was what saved her from a mysterious plague called “Agent X”.

The outbreak of so-called Agent X, were unknown of its origin and the public were heedless of the upcoming disaster. It worked by turning all the female population into blue creatures that seemed to bend toward violence and lost all rational thoughts. Due to the nature of the virus attacking menstrual-age female, the term Xombies was used. These Xombies in turn attack the male population converting them into second generation via “kiss of death”.

When the whole were shocked and stirred by the news, Lulu and her mother were oblivious of it. It was not until her mother decided to get some supplies that she realized that the world had been turned upside down by the calamity. For all Lulu and her mother knew, humanity might had already been wiped out. From there the story picked off. Lulu searched for her father and found the man while she was in the midst of running for her life.

Mr. Cowper (Lulu’s father) was an ex Naval operator who possessed thick New England accent. Lulu then followed him upon surviving her mother’s attack after being converted into one of the ‘blue meanies’. Both of newly reunited father and daughter then trapped in heart-pounding actions of escaping and cutting through hordes of the Xombies in order to get to safety in a military installment.

Once there were in a military installment, more conflicts arose because of Lulu’s presence. Everybody seemed to hate her just because for being a girl. While they were busy debating and tossing remarks, the Xombies attacked the installment. All of the survivors were in great danger from being overrun. Mr. Cowper led a coup against the leader of the base and hijacked the only way out from there – a nuclear class submarine.

With the help of his long time friends in then navy, Mr. Cowper raced against time to guide as much survivors (especially Lulu) as he could to the sub. During the run for their lives, Lulu met several boys who then, later became her acquaintances. Lulu still had to face the same harsh treatment she had been getting at the base. Things get even more complicated as the survivor began to experience “cabin fever” due to enclosure in tight space of the sub for a very long time. Lulu tried to gain the trust from the other survivors and in the same time finding out what was really going on in the sub. One by one the mystery of the plague unfolded as Lulu began her own investigation of the matter. There were more to the plague than the survivors actually thought.

Will they make it? Will they find the last safe place on earth? Is there any hope for humankind to rebuild what was lost? Find out in Xombies as we follow Lulu and the rest of the survivors onboard USS No-Name, carrying what seems to be relics of our civilization and finding a safe haven.

Okay, that is as far as I can go without giving away too much. So does this book worth a read? Should you pick it up? If it helps, here is what I think about this book.

1. Very well written. Walter Greatshell knew what he was doing. The writing is solid. I am impressed by the sophisticated prose style and evocative descriptions, which is a joy to read. His vision of the world after the outbreak is scary. The detail of the sub is really in depth that you feel Walter must have been on one himself.

2. A fresh take on zombie apocalypse genre. The voyage on the nuclear sub indeed add depth toward the story itself rather than focusing solely on zombie actions or simply resorting to run and gun in order to impress the reader.

3. The character is very well developed. Lulu Pangloss is an enjoyable read. Her narrations had a non orthodox edge to it as she was not drawn from any stereotypical girlish character. She had her own unique voice not to mention hilarious too. There are many characters to like in this book and some you will really care for.

4. This is not really a zombie book. As I said before, this book is so much more. It plays more with human interactions, the interplay between the survivors, and emotions. As we know from loads of zombie literatures in the market, this is the core of a zombie story and Greatshell pull it off beautifully.

5. The only minus side that I find is that the book divided into extremes. What I mean is that it has highs and lows. When it is riding high, it is a very good book - fast, full of interesting ideas, good writing and clever twists. But, when it is low, it gets very low and then we are stuck with pages of info dumps that might throw off some readers.

There are many things to say about this book. If I have to sum it up, I would say that this book is a strange stew of genres (the apocalyptic virus tale, the macho submarine thriller, the zombie horror novel, the teen alienation novel, the Sci-Fi Big Statement novel, etc.) being mold together into a satire, then totally takes off in a different direction all together. Does it work? For me it works superbly well. I had a blast with Lulu and the rest of survivors.

Anyway, if you are a zombie story lover who does not mind a new take on the genre, or maybe you are just trying to find something new to read, try out Xombies by Walter Greatshell.

This is an alternate cover for Xombies, retitled and ready in prints somewhere during September. This is not a sequel.

Entitled as Xombies: Apocalypticon, this is a sequel to Xombies. The book has been finalised and will be hitting the shelves soon. Since I've been following Walter's work for a while, before this artwork released at his site, he originally named the second book as Xombierama which to me, sounds more exciting.

One of my favorite passage,

This is from a scene with Lulu and her mom just as soon she got home for Lulu.
Lulu's mom (after a hysterical fit);

"'Beware any agressive, unusual, or dishevelled-looking people' they said,". She giggled hysterically. "That's us, isn't it?"

This is Zombie signing out.

DIY card for your dad - A Father's Day Special

Hello all! Due to my obsession to art, I would say that Roldan did a very artful job to create this blog. Except for, of course, the youtube rollout in the left that keeps tuning on to the ShaneDawsonTV channel. He is not very...art to me. Well, if he is, I would call it disasterous art, or wicked art, or bizarreness...

Okay okay enough! (Both hand rose.)
That’s not why I posted this, though I felt pity for Zombie and Roldan who’re a big fan of Shane Dawson and literally didn’t grant me an administrator privilege for this blog, just in case that I might change the channel to lady fashion, make ups...hmm...

So remember when Roldan write something about Father’s Day history and origin? He did ask us to make the best of the day and do something for the day. So here’s a suggestion. How about... a card? I know, typical huh? But don’t forget, something simple was easier to remember. Dexter (in Dexter TV series) drew a simple crayon card for his blood donator to show his gratitude. That person turned out to be his biological dad and guess what? His dad kept the card until the time he died.

So what do you think? Well, if you insist on “buying” cards, I can’t do nothing about that. But if you want to do something a bit more sentimental, I can show how to make a simple and meaningful card for your dad... So here goes...

You will need:

A4 papers (assorted colours), scissors, glue, glitter glue and embellishing objects (stickers/stamps *optional)

Making the card:

1. Take a piece of paper and fold it into two.
2. Draw a pattern/design (anything that related to fatherhood or something that will bring sentimental value) on another piece of paper.
3. Start cutting your designs.
4. Now you can start arranging and glueing the patterns according to your preferences.
5. Lastly, I’ve made a simple wavy line along the edge using red pen and I followed the line with glitter glue.
6. Voila!

New Moon scoop : Robert Pattinson "remember" when Kristen Stewart "runaway"

Just when we all thought they're just acting their love, you know, faking their kisses, hugging for the sake of movie scene, squeezing fake tears, and later what do you know, they fall in love for real. Sounds familiar? Freida Pinto and Dev Patel, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, bla bla bla. Rumors whirred and whirred, passing our oblivious ears yes?

Well, how about this...

Twilight hot and sensational hero, Robert Pattinson, was rumored to fall in love with Kristen Stewart who is however, heart belongs to Michael Angarano, also a Hollywood actor. Kristen and him had been dating for past few months and despite the rumors between her and Pattinson, he remained steady.

And not to forget dear readers, these are just rumors. Truth aren't yet to be revealed so I won't write much about it. But out of curiosity, I really really want to know what do twilight fans think about these rumors? It's just, I'm wondering if the rumors are true, would you vote for Kristen to leave Angarano and go for Pattinson or you're just going to keep Pattinson for yourself?

As for those of you who had not seen the new moon trailer yet, you can enjoy it down here...

"Golden Boot tasted like Paris Hilton..." - Christiano Ronaldo

Oh my God, believe it or not, after the ridiculously huge transfer of this Portugal soccer star to Real Madrid, Christiano Ronaldo was caught dating with Paris Hilton on video. What a sensation!! Can't wait to hear what the world had to say about this…



Will they keep dating each other again after this? Will they go public? Or will they keep their relationship a secret? We just don’t know yet… All we can do is wait for it, and see…

By the way, here's a few photo of him you might want to see...

"Hmm... Paris..."

"Even though the gods are crazy, Even though the stars are blind..."
Ronaldo sang a song after receiving his awards.

Funny Sunday…

It’s Sunday… And you know what’s nice about Sunday? Well for starters, it’s a holiday. More time to rest and less time to work. More to waking up late and less of morning bell alarms, don’t you think? So today ladies and gentlemen, I would like to share jokes that I find funny on mags and newspapers. They’re jokes about school, so, here goes…

MORON…
“If there are any morons in the classroom, will they please stand up,” snarled the sarcastic teacher.

After a long silence, one student rose to his feet.

“Now then boy, why do you consider yourself a moron?” enquired the teacher with a sneer.

“Well, actually I don’t,” said the student. “But I hate to see you standing up there all by yourself.”

PUNISHED
A little girl came home from school and said to her mother. “Mommy, today in school I was punished for something I didn’t do.”

The mother exclaimed. “But that’s terrible dear! I’m going to have a talk with your teacher about this…by the way, what was it that you didn’t do?”

The little girl replied. “My homework.”

Father's Day 101

What’s up guys? It’s me again after 3 days without any post in this blog. I know… 3 days.. No big deal huh? Well, to be honest, I’ve been itching to write something in the past few days but haven’t been able to do anything about it. What can I say, works were piling up on my desk and my fingers were occupied with many other things, so, sorry guys. I promise I’ll put a schedule up for this blog.

Anyway, as you all can see, I did a few things on the blog layout. Well, if you all were new here, you’re lucky to see the new shiny layout I made especially for the readers of Frosted Cigar. Things will shape up around here, and I’ll try my best for this blog to be a better place for you all.

You all like youtube? I like youtube…and here I placed a youtube ShaneDawsonTV channel for you to enjoy. Take a look, he’s funny and he’s cool. You all going to love him, really really much!

Okay enough about that. So today I’m going to tell you something about Father’s Day. I’m pretty sure I don’t have to tell you specifically what’s the reason of the occasion, do I? Unless you’re an alien, I think you had celebrated Father’s Day before to appreciate your father hard work raising you. But not most of us knew about the origin and history of father’s day, don’t we? Little that we knew that someone before had fought for 56 years for the day to be official. Now that, my readers, is something worth knowing.

Mother’s day was already celebrated long before Father’s day was even introduced. It was proposed by a person named Sonora Smart Dodd, out of personal idea while she was listening to a Mother's Day sermon at the Central Methodist Episcopal Church. She fought for it with many organizations and churches behind her back. But the more she fought, the more the honorable day ran the risk of disappearing. Back then, father’s day was a laughing matter, while mother’s day was celebrated with excitement.

However, in 1924, the idea was accepted by US President Calvin Coolidge, and many efforts are gathered to legitimize the day. Finally in 1966, the proclamation was issued and father’s day became official.

So, do something to appreciate your dad this year. Someone fought so much for the day and it would be nice for us to make the best of it.

By the way, Zombie (I cannot believe I even called him that) had post something on the blog. You're going to hear from him from time to time. He's a likable person, in spite of his name i would say. So thanks Zombie (I still cannot believe I even called him that).

Rated Z for Zombie-licious

What’s up people!...or in a more appropriate manner of speaking, how are you doing, fellow reader.

How’s your day?

Zombie here, and you’re going to see a lot of me from time to time. I decided to drop by and say hi to all of you. Yes you guys, the one who are reading this. I’ll be mainly posting book reviews and few stuff about authors that is, if you don’t know about them already

Since Roldan would probably chop me to pieces if I put up some senseless post, so in response to his post about Xbox’s Natal, yeah it is somewhat intriguing. I know Microsoft yet to have a release date and all but, I’m pumped up already. Imagine the possibilities. No, I don’t mean playing an improved Wii Fit-ish game. Though it is Microsoft answer to Wii…let’s not go there, I leave those arguments to the fan boys.

What I am getting at here is the potential of Natal. I’m seriously intrigued of its capabilities, you know, imagined that playing Left 4 Dead-esque game on those things. It’ll be awesome, you can finally punch the zombies, kick them or do all those things to your fellow survivors for being such an a-hole (I’ve taken more hits from teammate rather than from zombies, idiots). Maybe this time we can talk trash to the zombies every time we’re being overrun.

Hypes have been surrounding this particular revolution of gaming by fans and haters. Some love it, some don’t but I like to quote a rather disturbing comment concerning Natal scanning function. It involves creating avatars. One user said,

"I can’t wait coz I wanna scan myself naked."

Xbox Live users will see a lot of interesting avatars soon.

Anyway, although Natal is a techno wonder but I doubt its application will be featured in such games. At least not anywhere near its release. But hey, we’ll never know until it hit the shelves, for all we know I am probably wrong. Maybe this is the starting point for the much-awaited advancement in entertainment that probably would lead to humanity doomsday in the hand (or in this case – the screen) of machine.

Since I’m still in Zombie mood, check out the vid for Dead Rising 2 if you haven’t already (link at the end of the post). It’s wicked awesome. The only disappointment for me is that Frank will have only a guest appearance and probably not as a playable character. I missed Frank but I guess Chuck kick some undead ass too.

With the capabilities of spawning 7,000 zombies on the screen, (the first only have max capacities of 800) and ready to be taken down with the most creative way, Dead Rising 2 is going to be big. No, not big but Zombie-licious. I mean, where else can you see Zombie showgirls?

Well then, keep that console warm for Chuck Greene’s arrival on PC, Xbox360 and PS3.

On a side note, I’d like to see that on Natal, don’t you?

Unfortunately, there’s not much for me to say here about this techno mumbo jumbo. The video above would say it all. However, if you wish to read further about this amazing invention, I suggest you follow the links below. I’m sure they could provide you with more detailed information about Natal. In fact, the first link would bring you to a blog by Johnny Chung Lee, one of the researchers in the Applied Sciences group at Microsoft who actually took part in this incredible invention.

Book summary: The Stand by Stephen King

This is one of my favorite book of many, which grasped me away with the terror and horror of evil dwelled among humanity portrayed by the writing of a wonderful author. It’s a story of a horrendous post-apocalyptic which wiped all the living stood on the ground of earth, back in June 1985 because of a spreading superflu or so-called ‘Captain Trip’. Filled with carcasses unburied, the earth was like another mere graveyard of wars where foes and friends fell down, breathless.

Among the chaos of death of thousand, a faceless clairvoyant wandered the ground, riding on the course to apocalypse. And so it was, every thing that began must be finished somehow by somebody. And this devil claimed the title for himself. He shall be the one who burned the earth and watch it dies till the very end while eating popcorn and snacks (I made that up, LOL!).

Now this is where it got really interesting…

A powerful devil however, holds no control or no such power to envision destiny. The superflu didn’t wiped existence of humanity entirely; in fact thousands had survived it with a strange immunity. But, their survival had leaved a mark on them every night, for the moment they closed their eyes to rest, the dream emerged. Same dream every night, two types, one is bright, and the other is sinister. And the people who dreamt began to choose side from it, and the brave shall follow the route to Nebraska and the ruptured fearful souls shall follow the lead to Las Vegas, where the devil dwelled.

True, the existence of this people meant that human could start all over again, creating society and orders under a flag, but that doesn’t seemed the right thing to do. Both sides would have to confront each other on war someday, and when that day comes, it would seem like an unopposed victory for the devil. However, mankind forgot of an unseen protector which had always watched over us days and nights, thick and thin. Heaven. And they who believed, marched across Nevada to seek the devil who wished to destroy it all, and make their way for the final stand.

J. K. Rowling

For those of you who haven't read this book, the long awaited movie for the masterpiece collections of J. K. Rowling are yet to be revealed this July. Anticipation rose as the fans of HP realized how good the book are, exactly what they would expect from the author, J. K. Rowling, but questions surfaced on whether or not David Yates, answers to their expectations? Most of us probably have seen The Order of Phoenix (2007) and personally all I could say about that is not bad. However, it falls on the ground where the written book couldn't even see too far down, in different league.

I am a big fan of HP myself and read all of it wonderful series. Even when I finished reading "The Deathly Hallows", amazingly I was hungry for more of it! However, I found this site (http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2009/mar/13/fans-unhappy-with-sixth-harry-potter-film) where fans were furious after a test screening of the film, and I began to wonder. Why oh why the most amazing story in the whole wide world could end up with revolts and complaints?

So here I'm going to say a few words about the story. Rest assured, there would be no spoilers in this article, and even if there is, it wouldn't make much difference because they have changed the ending of the story anyway! And i couldn't believe that J. K. Rowling actually agreed with that. Curious...curious...

Well if you follow the link to the website above, you'll hear about complaints of being too much romance in the upcoming movie. Also,some key memories that are crucial for Harry's final confrontation with Lord Voldemort were gone, leaving swivelling dusts of confusions. And finally, as I mentioned before, the ending were...modified. All this was revealed by one of the HP fans who attended the test screening.

This is not what I had expected. No...not at all what I expect. So...EXPECTO PATRONUM!!!!!!!!

Sorry about that...
So here, I wished to discuss about what the story is about, and what should and what shouldn't be omitted inside the movie.

No doubt, in the sixth book, loves filled the air. There were many romance scenes, but it doesn't mean that it's a dominent part for the story, isn't it? It's a story about Lord Voldemort's past, about Snape, about the fallen by the rise of something else, it's a fantasy fiction for God sake! In a book, it's fine to spice up the story with romance and all of the other stuffs, but don't procasinate the scene when you only have a limited 2 hours for the movie.

And about the memories that were erased during the movie, I cannot say anything about it because I can't figure out which part. That leaves the modification of the ending which is outragous because the ending for the book was superb!! And surprising...

So, I guess all that's left for us to do is sit back and hope that the movie won't be as bad as they said huh? Thanks for reading...

Movie: Sequel for Pirates of caribbean movie?

PIRATES OF CARIBBEAN 4:
The Fountain of Youth

“This is the day that you shall always remember, the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!”

This has got to be the best film I’ve seen back in 2003! To be honest, I’ve already fell in love with the story on the first five minutes when Jack (portrayed by Johnny Depp) was scanning the horizon of the sea, seeing Port Royal in distance on the center mass of his scrappy boat. Funny old Jack!!!LOL!!

Well, I would announce here proudly that I’ve seen the third movie (At world’s end) five times already, including the premiere and amazingly, never once get tired of it. It’s the same for the first two films, but I’ve lost count anyway. Well, let’s just say that I’ve watched it too many times already until the blood running on my veins stirred up with every line of conversations and events in POW. Yup…I know what you think. This guy is losing it huh? Hehe…nevermind though…I would never be ashamed to admit that I’m a sick fanatic of POC…the one who’s hungry for more adventure by Jack!

So, imagine how I felt when there’re rumors about pirate of Caribbean 4!!

I was like jumping in excitement and impatience of the sequel even though there’s no solid prove of it just yet, and the rumors spreading around were just an unconfirmed news. Well, not until Sept 2008 when Johnny signed for the contract for the movie, which is expected to be released on 2012.

Then I started digging around for the scoop of the incoming movie.

So, rumor has it that Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightley will not be aboard as William Turner and Elizabeth Swann to sail along the adventure, which I think will have a huge impact on the film. It wasn’t really sure yet until Kiera confirmed it on the press, saying that she had already done with pirating. That’s a bummer indeed!! She’s the pirate king for God sake!!

As for Orlando Bloom, there’s none unraveling truth whether or not he joined the cast or not, so rest assured. To be frank, I hate that William Turner because he was an uptight and volatile character. But in the end of the third movie, it blown my mine to see both him and Jack running the wind, hoisting their sail side by side crushing Lord Cutler Beckett’s ship to smithereens. So in the end, I never want this character to go away, and I really really hope that Orlando Bloom will return as the captain of The Flying Dutchman. Well, after all, The Dutchman couldn’t sail without a captain, aye?

Also, there are floating rumors about the comedian Russell Brand to be joining the crew as Jack’s brother. Well, that was surprising! Or should I say stunned, because I’m not sure I would want to see Jack’s brother in the movie. Barbossa and his monkey (a.k.a Jack) and his apple is fine, but Jack’s brother? Maybe I’m thinking too far along, and probably it won’t be such a bad idea to bring the character up. After all, the talented Jerry Bruckheimer will be guiding the Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio on the script-writing process, which very unlikely will lead to disappointment.

So, enough digging and enough rambling shall we? What say you that we just keep our weather eyes on the horizon, waiting for the black sails to roam the free ocean once more, singing yo ho again, not as a conqueror, not as king, but as a mere free men of the sea, savvy?
