Naruto 516 Spoiler

This is from inaruto.net

516: Gaara’s Speech (Gaara’s pic in the front page)

Konoha’s Byakugan intercepts the huge army. (An) Edo-tensei corpse came out from Madara’s hideout. (???)
Anko: Return to the main squad and report this, quickly! I’ll stay here and investigate the hideout further.
Byakugan guy: It’s too dangerous for you alone!
Anko: Shaddap and just go!

Edo-tensei corpse apparently having conversation
Haku: Zabuza-san…
Zabuza: Yeah, I know. This is not the netherworld.
Haku: I have full consciousness… But my body is moving on its own…
(Probably a Kumogakure nin): This is Edo-Tensei (how famous does this supposedly forbidden jutsu get!?) Seems like we are summoned by someone, which means we’ll have to fight soon.
Zabuza: Being used even in death… I hate this guy.

Switches to Madara and Kabuto
Kabuto told someone (not made clear) to launch surprise attack from air. Sasori and Deidara would provide traps and bombs respectively.
A Kiri-nin (can’t read the name’s Kanji… Chuukichi?) and Ne (Root?) from Konoha would provide detection and support.
Konoha’s Ne wondered what was happening. The Kiri-nin tried to threaten Akatsuki but got subdued when Kabuto formed some seal.
Sasori: To be used by this brat… Akatsuki sure has fallen. What’s more, the only survivors are Zetsu and my substitute Tobi?
Deidara: As someone who died while bragging eternity as an art, you shouldn’t say conceited things like that, Danna. un.
Sasori: Want me to kill you!?
Deidara: We’re both dead, Danna. un.
Madara: Is it really OK with this?
Kabuto: It’s quite tough to control so many Edo-corpses at once. But I’ll only control them for the movement phase. In battle, I’ll kill their personality and make them fighting dolls. You don’t need to worry… …Although, sometimes leaving their personality intact would strike a blow to the enemy’s psychology…

Dan and Asuma having a conversation
Asuma: Aren’t you Dan?
Dan: Yeah, and we’re both dead. Seems like we are bound by a jutsu that resurrects us to the living world.
Neji’s dad: What’s going on?
Asuma: I have a bad feeling about this…

Kabuto: Won’t you bring the white-black Zetsu?
Madara: Zetsu will look after Sasuke. Besides, you might kidnap him in the middle of the war.
Kabuto: Hmph.
Madara: The hundred thousand Zetsu will move from underground. The sheer amount would stand out too much otherwise.
Kabuto: Then let’s go too, shall we? First…

Byakugan guy fled. Anko remained. Anko hid among bushes, but was spotted.
Kabuto: Sen’ei Tajashu! (Hidden snake-arms jutsu)
Anko: Ditto
Deidara and Sasori were airborne on Dei’s bird. They were with the Chuukichi guy and Ne of Konoha.
Chuukichi: It’s there…
Deidara: So it’s just like what Kabuto said. Three rats at two o’clock’s direction.

Byakugan guy realized the oddity.
Byakugan guy: Both of you, run! I will delay them here!

Back at the Shinobi alliance’s
Some Nins talked about Gaara and whether he was capable of leading the squads.
Some Nins started bickering with each other, fighting about whose dad was killed by whom. In the middle of the commotion, Gaara’s sand subdued them.

(Gaara gave an inspirational speech-no-jutsu. My translation won’t do it any justice, so just wait for the manga.)

Kakashi noticed that everyone’s face lit up.

Naruto managed to stack up the blocks without them crumbling down. Bee talked about the last training.

Raikage: We’ll win this Fourth Great Ninja World War.
Tsuchikage: But of course!
Tsunade: Yeah!

“Fighting for the benefit of one’s country and one’s village has continued from the First to the Third World War. Shinobis hurt and hated each other. This hatred lusted for power, and amidst this, I was born. I too, used to live among this hatred and power; I was a Jinchuuriki.
(everybody looked at Gaara)
“And I hated this world with passion. I wanted to destroy it, much like what Akatsuki is trying to do now. But a Konoha Shinobi stopped me.
(flashback to Naruto vs. Gaara and their handshake moment)
“He cried for me, his enemy… and he called the hurt me his friend. He saved me. We were enemies to each other, and yet we were both Jinchuurikis. There is no enemy among people who understand the same suffering.
“And now, here, there is no enemy among us, because we are fellow people who were made suffer by Akatsuki. There is no Suna, Iwa, Konoha, Kiri, or Kumo. What’s here… is only Shinobi!
“If even after this, you can’t forgive Suna (referring to the Shinobi earlier who bitched about his father being killed by Suna), then after this war has ended, you can take my head!
(said Shinobi was nonplussed)
“This friend who saved me is now being targeted by the foe. If he gets caught, then it’s all over for this world. I want to protect my friend… And I want to protect the world!
“I am too young to do that alone. Which is why, I need everyone to lend his power!”

Note: I can't wait for the release of the manga!!! waahh...

The War Begins...

Okay I have read the latest chapter of Naruto manga I'm so excited for the update!!! The war begins!


By the way... I suddenly realize that there are lots of puzzles in Kishimoto's Naruto

Here are some of them:

1. Who's the sixth body that Kabuto summon that makes Madara uneasy?
2. What did Karin do to Sasuke before?
3. Who is Itachi's lover?

Hope to find the answers for them soon!

"Loveless" Poem from Final Fantasy VII

See all information at: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/LOVELESS

Hey folks, I found this wonderful poem called "Loveless" from the PSP Game 'Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7' while browsing the net. Hope you like it!

Prologue (Poem)
When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting


Act I (Poem)
Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take to the sky
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.


Act II (Poem)
There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds

Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh


Act III (Poem)
My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow

My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return


Act IV (Poem)
My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess

My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber

Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely


Act V (Poem)
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice

Requiem (Latin)

Note: This is the literal Latin translation of my English poem "Requiem." The translation is from the Google translator.

Requiem
per KVDR

Rapto, quod remanserat compositionem dissolvit;
Creatus erat primum capere cor alicuius.
Sed sunt adnotationes cantabat deae instrumenti
Blanda sententia successit tormentum


Audiens serenissimi quis facit sanguinare.
It's acuta quasi gladius-ora, quae morte aequum deduceret;
Capi esse in mensura, sugentem notes mentem:
Hymnus mortis est art.


Dolor ut sonat continue plays
Nominibus, ut infinita inquinandi stultitiam
Mors venientem tam furens o!
Heu Requiem natae; messor suus's modos.

Movie Review: The Uninvited (2009)

The 2009 movie "The Uninvited" for you might not be that good, my mom even told me that the movie is dull at first, but for me I find the movie really good! Why? Because I failed to predict the movie. That's my hobby actually, imagining how a movie will end, and most of the time I'm correct. But in this movie, my prediction skills become failed! If you haven't watch this movie yet, well I want to tell you that this has a very exciting twist at the end!

Sypnosis:
After Anna Rydell's (Emily Browning) confinement in a mental institution after the death of her mother, she went back home to her beloved sister Alex (Arielle Kebbel). There she found out that her father is about to marry her mother's former care taker Rachel (Elizabeth Banks). The moment Anna returns, she found some uninvited guest at their home which suggested that her mother's death isn't just a mere accident. Later she learned that Rachel, planned all this to have Steven (David Strathairn) all for herself. *Spoiler* (But is Rachel really the antagonist of the story, or is she yet another victim?)

Mindflex: The Game of the Future

Wow I happen to see this very cool game called "Mindflex" created by Mattel, Inc. This game utilizes telekinesis which allows you to play it by using your mind. Cool!

By using the advanced Mindflex technology (mainly EEG Tech), it's wireless headset reads the brainwave activity in your brain. To play this game, all you need is to concentrate and let the ball rises on a cushion of air! This technology, allows you to exercise your mind, specially your concentration. I was thrilled to learn about this really cool stuff and decided to buy one if I have extra cash. Common this technology will make my friends run wild (evil laugh)!

The game have the following components: Mindflex comes with the following components:
1 Game Console , 1 Headset , 4 Balls, 3 Ring Towers, 5 Rings, 2 Maze Cages,2 Wall Panels,
4 Shelf Panels, 1 Funnel (3 pieces), 1 Cannon (3 pieces), 1 Teeter-Totter, and1 Propeller Wheel.

So this is the ultimate question, "how much does Mindflex cost?" In amazon.com its worth $58.97 & with a FREE shipping with Super Saver Shipping for Shipping items to a single U.S. address. However, for people like me, who is not US citizen, no free shipping for us. In the Philippines, shipping cost + Php3000 Per Box For Metro Manila Delivery or + Php3200 to Php4000 Per Box For Provincial Deliver.

These is the reason why it is better to wait for the product to be available in your country. But there are also advantages in online shopping because items in USA are cheaper because of the weak dollar value and strong competition.

The Secret of Mint: Why does it felt cold?

Have you ever wondered why the chewing gum or any other peppermint products felt cold inside our mouth when we drink water, when in reality, it should be burning hot? This are sensations with same underlying biochemical causes.

Different pieces of stimulus from the environment produce diverse electrical patterns inside the brain. Example, heat causes the same electrical pattern in our brains each time, which activates our body that we need to move away from the hot surface. Cool temperatures generate a different pattern. If a person takes in gum confusion was created inside the brain that this piece of gum with peppermint on it is “cold.”

To produce electrical impulses our body allows the electrically charged atoms to enter a cell by opening a channel in the cell membrane, changing the electrical charge within the cell with all sorts of interesting and complicated consequences. Capsaicin, the hot molecule, in chili peppers modify an 'ion channel' on TRP-V1 that is activated by high temperatures, causing an electrical change within the cells. Menthol in mints interacts with the same molecule (the TRP-M8 ion channel) on nerve cells that signals cool temperatures. The same pattern will be formed when the channels are opened, regardless of whether temperature change or taste causes it to open, and thus our brains are tricked into perceiving the inappropriate sensation.

Our human body have different marvels indeed! Several glitches also happens within which is really cool to know!

What a DAY???!!!!

Ok... we had a patient in our Birthing Home which we haven't able to help then I can't set my schedule in kgb just like my fellow agent, Bautista.... WAAH!!!!!! What a roller coaster day! D***! I don't know why such things are happening... GRRRRR........

Math Attack the Cool Mathematical Game!

I have found a cool mathematical game (here). Try it! It is great!!! hehe

While working as a Special Agent in KGB, I have learned different cool stuffs. I even encountered a cool book which I would like to read! It is "The Magicians" by Lev Grossman. The story is intriguing. Here is the synopsis of the story:

Quentin Coldwater is brilliant but miserable. He's a senior in high school, and a certifiable genius, but he's still secretly obsessed with a series of fantasy novels he read as a kid, about the adventures of five children in a magical land called Fillory. Compared to that, anything in his real life just seems gray and colorless.

Everything changes when Quentin finds himself unexpectedly admitted to a very secret, very exclusive college of magic in upstate New York, where he receives a thorough and rigorous education in the practice of modern sorcery. He also discovers all the other things people learn in college: friendship, love, sex, booze, and boredom. But something is still missing. Magic doesn't bring Quentin the happiness and adventure he thought it would.

Then, after graduation, he and his friends make a stunning discovery: Fillory is real.

Cool!!! :)

Earth's Expiration Date?

After reading my friend's article about sinkholes (here) I began thinking... Will the expiration date of the earth be on 2012?

In Ecclesiastes 1: 4, God tell us that "Generations come and generations go, but the Earth remains forever." And also in the scripture Genesis 18: 16-33, God promised Abraham that He will not put an end in the place where there are people who still believes in Him.

So maybe all we need to do is still have faith on Him. Believe! Because if we won't, we might not see the earth expire by 2012... Maybe it'll be sooner than that!

World's Top Billionaires - Year 2010

Currently Forbes.Com announced a list of world's top Billionaires for 2010. Here is a short introduction given by Matthew Miller and Luisa Kroll in Forbes.Com
Carlos Slim Helu takes No. 1 spot on Forbes World's Billionaires list as a record 164 10-figure titans return to the ranking amid the global economic recovery.
For the third time in three years, the world has a new richest man.
Riding surging prices of his various telecom holdings, including giant mobile outfit America Movil ( AMX - news - people ), Mexican tycoon Carlo Slim Helu has beaten out Americans Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to become the wealthiest person on earth and nab the top spot on the 2010 Forbes list of the World's Billionaires.
Slim's fortune has swelled to an estimated $53.5 billion, up $18.5 billion in 12 months. Shares of America Movil, of which Slim owns a $23 billion stake, were up 35% in a year.
That massive hoard of scratch puts him ahead of Microsoft (MSFT) cofounder Bill Gates, who had held the title of world's richest 14 of the past 15 years.
Gates, now worth $53 billion, is ranked second in the world. He is up $13 billion from a year ago as shares of Microsoft rose 50% in 12 months. Gates' holdings in his personal investment vehicle Cascade (CAE) also soared with the rest of the markets.
This year the World's Billionaires have an average net worth of $3.5 billion, up $500 million in 12 months. The world has 1,011 10-figure titans, up from 793 a year ago but still shy of the record 1,125 in 2008. Of those billionaires on last year's list, only 12% saw their fortunes decline.
