Up!

I think the whole concept of this UP movie is pretty good. At least well.. the "hero" is not one of those half naked macho young guys or ..something else somehow. Hopefully this will remind some people that old people are just like any of us in bodies that just don't work the same way anymore.

Here's a funny little article on it.

5 more days to Karma Kula's 3rd chapter! :)

Harvesting the Ohas

Such a belated update! Karma Kula chapter 3, "Harvesting the Ohas" is out! I love it. It's so different from what I expected. Pretty creepy actually.

Awesome stuff. I can't believe Rena Owens is it in!

I'm back home again. I've been traveling a lot so I haven't been online that much.

Beautiful night

The electricity is finally back on. I've been out for the past 11 hours or so. I'm glad to be back home and to be able to sit down in front of my computer. It's a relief.

I sent out a package today, went all over the city, had to walk all over the place. It was pretty hot... I was real tempted to stop over at some stores and just get myself some really cold soda. But anyway, it was good enough. I taught baking all afternoon, it was fun. Tomorrow afternoon I'll probably go over and teach them again.

Well, that's it for now folks. If you like action, adventure, and martial arts kinda stuff, be sure to watch Karma Kula Mystic Warrior's 1st release.

I was thrilled to see the new Karma Kula Mystic Warrior trailers! Absolutely awesome stuff. :) I can't wait till the show really begins.

So much for all that huh!

Beijing’s Bird’s Nest to anchor shopping complex
BEIJING (AP)—The area around Beijing’s massive Bird’s Nest stadium will be turned into a shopping and entertainment complex in three to five years, a state news agency said Friday.

Officially known as Beijing National Stadium, the showpiece of the Beijing Olympics has fallen into disuse since the end of the games. Paint is already peeling in some areas, and the only visitors these days are tourists who pay about $7 to walk on the stadium floor and browse a pricey souvenir shop.

Plans call for the $450 million stadium to anchor a complex of shops and entertainment outlets in three to five years, Xinhua News Agency reported, citing operator Citic Group. The company will continue to develop tourism as a major draw for the Bird’s Nest, while seeking sports and entertainment events.

The only confirmed event at the 91,000-seat stadium this year is Puccini’s opera “Turandot,” set for Aug. 8—the one-year anniversary of the Olympics’ opening ceremony. The stadium has no permanent tenant after Beijing’s top soccer club, Guo’an, backed out of a deal to play there.

Details about the development plans were not available. A person who answered the phone at Citic Group on Friday said offices were closed for the Chinese New Year holiday.

A symbol of China’s rising power and confidence, the stadium, whose nickname described its lattice of exterior steel beams, may never recoup its hefty construction cost, particularly amid a global economic slump. Maintenance of the structure alone costs about $8.8 million annually, making it difficult to turn a profit, Xinhua said.

I've got a headache from dehydration. We played some really intense tennis games today. I was beat 8-1 the first game, then my team mate won 8-0, then we played doubles 8-4. We won! We won! We'll be playing in another competition soon. I don't know I'll make it. I hope so.

Of losing weight and sleep

I've been so damn tired these past few days.

I read this article about lack of sleep and weight loss. It's all the things you eat for gosh sakes. It's easy to understand for the most part.

We have this guest- a scholar- here with us now who's been telling us different stories of the world and etc and today he told us the story of Buddha, aka Siddhartha.

I find this picture of him to be a very nice one to describe his leaving everything behind:


Siddhartha grew up in a palace where he was completely shielded from any misery and suffering that is so prevalent in our world today. The compound in which he lived was a very vast one, and it was only when he was already a young man with a child of his own that he saw the wall that was keeping him within that "fake world" that his parents created for him in hopes of keeping him from becoming what a priest has predicted he would be before his birth- a great sage. His father figured if he didn't see the suffering of the world he wouldn't look for the solution to the suffering. Of course that didn't stop him.

He was great friends with his chariot driver and one day when he saw the wall, he asked his chariot driver to take him outside that wall. His chariot driver refused of course, but upon Siddhartha's nagging him- he finally gave in, and said, "All right all right- tomorrow night, we'll go." They sneaked out of a small hole in the wall ... and that's where Siddhartha's "awakening" to the miseries of the world came about.

We'll zip right through the little details and... here, so this picture- is probably just when he was about to leave everything. The night after he went out and saw all the miseries, he had his chariot driver his beautiful white horse who he had grown up with bring him deep into the forests. He took of all his jewelry and beautiful clothes and exchanged it with his chariot driver's clothes. He cut off his beautiful long black hair and told his chariot driver to leave. His horse was standing there, head hanging, tears streaming down his face. The chariot driver said, "No, no, I can't leave you. You are my Lord, You are my life. How can I leave You here?" But Siddhartha was firm, "No, you must go. I must find the solution to the miseries of life." Even his horse didn't want to go, and so Siddhartha went and whispered some words into the horse' ear, so then both the horse and the chariot driver had to go. :'(

Anyway... I loved it.
