<<14 hours later>> Added a new page for the fuck of it :  Recipe&Cooking. I'm hoping to make this site more interactive one day, but It'll involve me disregarding this template or master the use of inserting custom HTML code.

<<4 hours later>> Really now, to insert a custom background picture takes that much effort?!?! I have to go to that directory?? I was better off starting from scratch then..... Further more the damn template gets in the way.

<<2 Hour laters>> The site is coming along, I got 2 pages with text  , the templates that freewebs provide is a bit limited, as I remember i can do a lot more customizing by writing this whole thing in notepad. It'll take me a while to do it, so I'd rather put my thoughts in digital typing first and work out the details after ward. You wanna what's so hard about doing this??? Well other than the usual HTML code you use, you'd also need an ftp client to upload to the free web server and know which directories your getting your pictures and backgrounds from. I can even include some java stuff on the site to make it more interactive in some way, but that's afterwards

<<March 26th 2004>>Well, i got bored with my free time and decided I should invest my time in something useful for future reference, though using a site builder isn't very helpful, but I'll fix this later in life.  <<Site is currently under construction>>

Some stuff concerning my life events, present and current.

May 20th 2004

I got my Xbox modded!!! Yee HA, Thanx mystery man!! I can play emulaters from ps1 and down till the Nintendo.
In celebration , me , Piet and mystery man got a bit typsy . The feeling was a bit intense, I did  eat something, but to have a bit of fuzzy thinking from one beer, proves I needed food!!!. Thanx to mystery man again for his special ramen and chopsticks. It gave me some control over my body. Now to document the real interesting event. It seems it's going Miguel's way to go down and stay in SXM. They basicly don't wanna deal with school anymore, sick of Holland life and every other depressing matter you could think of ( debt). Why the big change you say? Well, David broke up with Jazzy, he's gotta pay off alot of bills and most of all "his" car wasn't in order. The police gave him 2 boete. One for an invalid license and one for his car not passing inspection. Basicly he got ripped off from the dealer that sold him that car. Changing his license is going to cost him euros and if worse comes to worse, he'll have to keep the car and sell it to somebody. Interesting turn of events. SIGH**** . I wish i could offer them some alternitaves, but really, there's nothing I can really do for them.

May 5th 2004

Changed Kaisy's pics, a lil misunderstanding on my part. In such short time I had to look for a substitute. As you've seen, you poeple won't mind the change. Her name is Maki Goto, ex-singer from the group Morning Musume and now producing her own single. I also got a hair cut and some other disturbing thing that happend in nieuwmarkt @ Amsterdam. I went to buy some ramen noodle @ this chinese shop. Uri was with me aswell. As soon as i get to the cashier. She gave me that look of hate as if I offened her in some way. Uri said she like threw the change @ me, but I didn't find it  more obvious that she disliked us when she suddenly just changed her attitude to some incredible smile.
I don't exactly know her gripe, but I have a few assumptions why:

1. I looked like a Bobbler ( I wore a faded out jeans, long long hair and a MTG T-shirt. Hair wasn't that presentable)
2. She disliked Uri ( Uri's a black guy and although I don't like thinking that poeple are racist, It's still a possibility)
3.Combo of both, this would mean all types of stereo typical reasons in itself : troublemakers, weed smokers, betrayers (to the chinese), gay and the list goes on.

It can't be long hair alone. There was a Chinese guy workign there that had hair long all the way to his chest. So it narrows itself down to those 2 possible "offense".  I feel bad for bringing Uri into such a shop, I feel even worse that she'd turn on her own chinese I guess. She was very kind when I was there with Chi Wah. I can't really blame her. My parents were the same way. The real world is so cruel and harsh. She'll also forget this incident withing a few months.
Life is Life i guess.

Hmm , I recently went to Rotterdam to chill out with some friends, not that i was giving much choice. Most of the things that happend there was that these people just forget to pick me up @ the station and left me to wander around town lost, looking for a beltegoed card. I was lacking alot of sleep. So when I finally reached my destination, I wasted my effort spent by just passing out 2 hours later on the chair, then on the floor. I think a phone dropped on my head as well, I got no recollection. Too sleepy to care at that moment. Some interesting things did happen during the through out and after the get together: Marlo's mixer tumbled till it don't work any more and Miguel & partner in crime disturbed my sleep as well. I still have no idea why I am supposed to go. Something that was supposed to keep me busy wasn't even there. Ofcourse that's the way the "fates" would have it for my own benefit. It's like that all the damn time. When i'm interested they'll set some obstacles or remove them for that matter so I don't get myself in a real heap of trouble , but i never get to know if trouble would be worth it. In other news, It's my moms b'day. I tried celebrating it with her through web cam and cutting cake on my side, but sxm interent ws down. So I gave her call and came up with a great idea. I'll just reord with the web cam, then compress the avi file.it came out great, just not the recording, cuz the web cam is just so cheap......Oh btw, I might be looking into flash to make the "live action anime/manga" that Bas calls it. If I'm in the mood :P  

Thursday April 22nd 2004

Wow! nearly a whole month before I actually tried to update. Oh well, makes telling things more worth your while, I guess. I'm currently doing anime reviews for the loosesocks webpage. It's mostly a webpage for sxm'ers with various hobbies from games, music anime ect ect. It's currently under construction and I got no idea what the link is. I think in the near future I'll scrap my anime review page. Piet bought a new game: Magic the gathering : Battle Grounds for the X-Box, because of MTG's long list of rules and abilities, they had to leave and modify some of them out to suit it's gameplay. What type of gameplay you say? It's fast paced like the new Final Fantasy X-2 game. Haven't played that as well? It's as fast as Smash Bros melee for the Nintendo Game Cube. I shouldn't need to tell you anymore if you haven't even played that. Fine maybe one more. Mario for the NES when he's in his super star mode. It's highley addictive with some really nice cutscene and it's own version of the MTG novels. You'll encounter familiar spell names and creatures, they look different in 3d though. Enough about that. This coming friday there's something happening @ Marlo's place in Rotterdam. I'm not really interested in going, but it seems i wasn't giving a choice . Oh did i mentioned I finished FFX-2? Wasn't anything special about the ending, 5 non linear endings are just deceiving. What they really meant was that you get parts of the ending. Just finishing the game gives you a normal ending, doing "side quest" might get you that final ending added that you missed out the first time. I can see myself playing this game 3 times. Lucky some of your stuff carry over to the new game plus mode. On other notes, me and piet started to check out some tickets for the journy home for the summer vacation with Air France. We coulda get it real cheap and any day we want if we had booked it January. Oh well, better luck next year. We are still going though. hmm, nothing left to waste your time. Other than news bout my evil twin known as E.L.F is hunting each and every one of you that visited this site. I've got more funny pics, but that's only if i decide to get off my lazy mentality and put it up. Till next time.

 Tuesday March 30th 2004

While i was busy capturing the flag in UT 2004, the guys of lore ( sunday, I'm writing this in the first few hours of tuesday) decided they were hungry. After continous nagging of trying to get me off the game I decided to go cook. Lazy bastards and Miguel suddenly got sick in the stomach Monday afternoon. 10 minutes before I got thrashed by the AI again. David just got off the phone with his woman . He commented that the kicthen was hissing/ leaking gas. Appearently a bitch neighbour of mines didn't turn off the stove after usage.I don't know who said gas was tasteless and doesn't have a smell, but WE all or just ME coulda went to high heaven. Me being the scatterbrain would actually light up the place and ask questions later. I'd say it was sheer luck that I avoided a situation like that all together.   
On other events, Me and Joe finanly duked it out in UT2004. That fucking ass can live long. I swear I shot him in the head with the lightning gun twice. Well I realized no matter how skilled I am, tactics, dexterity, evasion and knowledge of weapons are just 50-60% of winning a 1 vs 1 ,depending on the other guy's skill level ofcourse. So I revised my strategy again and made sure I was prepared in health and armor. As you might have guessed. My standings are 1 win 1 loss. The win game from the last game before Joe had to retire for the night, we coulda put in some more time into the game, but David was occupying my PC then  

Sunday March 28th 2004

I just recently got word from Miguel ( while i was so enthralled in the Final Fantasy X-2 world),that there would be some kinda party going on in Diemen ( my home) that day. There'll be dominoes , Halo, food , drinks and weed. The real kicker was it was decided b4 both of us even knew what was going on. I'll post results and maybe even some pics afterwards. Check back then.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Nothing great happend, Miguel cleaned his room, people came over. Then they went Amsterdam centraal for lack of ingredients for the food. Me and Joe busied ourselves with Unreal Tournement 2003 and 2004. We couldn't hit multiplayer right away or at all , since David's PC is a piece of crap that deserve's to be shot!!!! After that everybody enjoyed themselves with food, the Ultimate Dish: Diemen Dish. We play a few games of Halo and then switched to a boring spectacle of Piet playing Sonic Heroes. A reason for why the label said 3yrs + ; Stay away, don't even look at the game. I'd review and gripe about it, but it's like 5:15 am now. Not really the time i should be spending to add a review of games page at the moment.

Magic Tourney

This part of the paragraph is about current and past events about some parts of my life. I'd like to start off by bragging about the tournement I won on March 20th 2004 by Micheal. It's my very first win. After 6 years of playing and participating in "friend hosted" tourneys, I finally won. Woo Hoo!!!!! I beat Uri and Micheal with no sweet. Victory was possible with the some of the following cards and combo in mind " Electrostatic Bolt/Fist Anvil and Isochron Sceptor", "Loxodon Warhammer and any other Big Creature" ,"Tel-jilad Chosen"," Fractured Loyalty" and some destroy artifact/equipment spells were very handy. The main strategy of the deck was:

1.  Be as close as possible to 40-45 cards
2.  Small casting cost for creatures
3.  Some burn spells
4.  1-2 big creatures
5.  Some cards to give you leverage (ex: protection artifacts and rare cards) .
6. Dual colored deck and 1 spell for black ( I had to put it in half way into the game as i noticed i couldn't remove certain bothersome creatures)

My record was 14 wins - 6 losses , I would've loved to test my mettle against Edwin as well, but it seems pussy was more important. Oh well , 5 boosters from Darksteel is a nice prize for having to travel back home (7 euros and buying food 8 euros).

Final Fantasy X

After 220+ hours of gaming , stat maxing, sphere grid revising, ultimate weapon searching , item searching and cash accumilation. I was ready to face of the Dark Aeons. I got some ribbon ready charecters with some high damage dealing. The real challenge was Penance. With the ability to deal all your charecters for about 20k non-elemental damage with oblivion( both def and mag def is 255) , 33k of damage physical attack with any arm (def of 255) and Judgement 99,999 hp damage to all charecters regardless of any type of defence, I'd say you wouldn't stand a chance, but i can proudly say :" I did it". I coulda done it the easy way as well ( which i did but rather not save and do it the harder way). I paid Yojimbo 1,3 milion gil , he did Zanmoto and that was the end of Penance in round 1.
