Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Some Mental Notes
ok, here are some things i learned (the hard way to be exact) this week, and it wasnt pretty...
1.) Never audition for something that your totally not prepared for
im sure we all experienced that one time when we try out for something (even though we were totally unprepared) and then we end up making a fool (if that's the right word) of ourselves. well apparently, after experiencing these things over and over again, i still didnt learn my lesson (what is it with human nature and the tendency to repeat our mistakes over and over again... did i mention over and over again?) ok ok ok, i really didnt intend on joining the auditions for the bandstorm competion. the inner joh was telling me that lack of practice or no practice at all wont get you anywhere. but my curiousity got the best of me, i wanted to check things out and in the end, i ended up playing with melvin's group. they werent the guys i was planning to play with, but since lorden didnt show up i had no choice but to do the drums for their group. and to make a short story even shorter, we messed up. obviously none of us came prepared. well lesson learned, next time come prepared no matter what, be it in an audition or for a camping trip (or something like that).
2.)Sudoku is addictive
yep, it all started from an old scrap of newspaper that i found inside our history classroom. i was fortunate enough to pick a puzzle with a smaller degree of difficulty so i was able to answer it in no time and at the same time, appreciate its complexity. not only does it help prevent brain deterioration, but it also serves as a good past time. its pretty much common nowadays so im sure you wont be able to miss it, you can find it right beside your favorite crossword puzzle on your favorite newspaper (i think..). it requires analysis and it is quite easy and fun to learn.
3.) Half-Life is still addictive
whoever said that this old game was dead. no matter what new games come out of the market nowadays there are still some classics out there that can nver be forgotten. (im talking about the multiplayer and not single player game) once in a while, there's no other game that can really bring out one's violent behaviour as much as half-life can. the shoot-anything-that-moves plot of the game (with some added blood, guts and body parts whenever you blow up someone) can be easily understood by any triggerhappy gamer.
