Hiya you DotA addicts! Are there any out there? I guess most of the people I know who are DotA addicts are not blogging… But heck, I would just like to repost this post from a blogger like me who is a DotA addict like me -rj. (Okay maybe I’m not an addict now, but I was an addict once, and I still do play once in a while. ^_^;) English translations are made by yours truly. ^_^

***This post is partly in Filipino (Taglish)***

For Those who are playing and addicted to dotA (mdyo corny) :

I have been thinking a lot about the changes that happened to me in the course of my so-called life. I did admit in my other post that I haven’t been quite satisfied with these changes that happened to me during the past few years. As I was reading through Reader’s Digest site, I came across a segment called RD.com – Make Your Mark. In here, I found out that creating change is a far more better than receiving the change (and sometimes not liking it). So what do I mean by “creating change”?

Creating change is similar to making a difference. To further understand more what I’m talking about, let me explain it to you through summarizing a story that I have just read from Reader’s Digest…

It is a true story about parents Chad and Michelle Bush. They had a fun-loving, active little girl named Reilly C. Bush who taught her parents that life is “stupendous” – the girl’s favorite word. She gave out brand new gifts to children who she thinks needed the gift more than she did, and to think that she is only 5 years old. When their little daughter Reilly passed away due to cardiac arrest, after three weeks, the parents decided to commit themselves to the community that helped them during their tragic loss. They also founded The Reilly C. Bush Memorial Foundation that teaches children to help other children.

They had raised a lot of money since the foundation was set up, and where do they use the money? You guessed it! Helping children. They even have their own signature package called “The Stupendous Package”, which is given to long-term hospital stay little girls. The package include Reilly’s favorite doll – American Girl Doll, a blanket, bracelet, and a book that shows the importance of sharing with other people.

The foundation has a lot of projects right now all aiming to help children. But if you try to remember, it all started because of a little girl’s love of helping other people. Thanks to her loving parents, a great CHANGE has been done and a big DIFFERENCE was made on others’ lives.

Personally, this was my favorite story of all. Maybe because I got too attached to that little girl’s “stupendous” life.

By the way, before I forget, Reader’s Digest Make Your Mark segment has a weekly challenge for all of us. It’s in the link. Look for the weekly challenge and I challenge you to either step, stretch, or leap your way to a better world! This week’s challenge is about ” End Hatred — Engage the nations of the globe and enrich your own life.” I did the step challenge. Wonder which restaurant should I go to? You should take a challenge too!

Oh and don’t forget to visit Reader’s Digest Homepage for more inspiring articles, jokes, and cartoons.

While I was bloghopping, I saw one interesting blogthings quiz about your “Power Color”. This is what I got…

Your Power Color Is Teal

At Your Highest: You feel accomplished and optimistic about the future. At Your Lowest: You feel in a slump and lack creativity. In Love: You tend to be many people’s ideal partner. How You’re Attractive: You make people feel confident and accepted. Your Eternal Question: hat Impression Am I Giving?”

This ain’t my favorite color of all, but I think teal is a good color. ^_^ How about you? What’s your power color?

Oh my gosh! One of my favorite animes is going to have a movie! I can’t believe that it has been so long since I watched animes on TV or DVD’s due to busy schedule. But good news to all Bleach fans out there, of course that includes me, the creator of the ever so popular manga and animated series Bleach, Tite Kubo announced that at 7:30PM of the 11th and 12th of June, Bleach the Movie: Memories of Nobody will be shown on selected North American theaters. There will also be an exclusive footage and behind-the-scenes look on the people behind the characters and an interview with the director himself!

Want to know how to get tickets in advance? Just click on the link and there you will find the theaters where the movie will be shown. If you see a theater that is just around your corner, I suggest you grab one now because the seats are LIMITED! The link will also tell you a little bit about the movie.

Hmmm… I have been talking about mangas lately… and come to think of it, I wonder if I was a manga character, what will my name be? …I got it! It will be… MAMORI MAYOKE which means “protection amulet”. Cool eh? I will be the leading character’s protection, I will give him the needed guidance and safeguard him from the evil. And of course, I will be his love interest as well. *wink* How about you? What will your manga name be?

I just recently got myself the first season of Sex and the City and it was so addicting that I watched the whole season in one sitting! It may be considered as an adult series, but come to think of it, you can actually learn a lot by watching the series.

I found myself relating to one of the issues that Laney (one of the minor characters in SATC) was encountering on one of the series. It was the change of your persona whenever you get married. Ever wondered when you were still single, you always start your sentence with an “I”, (“I” love this food, “I” love the movie, “I” hate this and that), but when you get married, that “I” turns to “We”? It’s as if you can’t just leave your partner alone. It’s as if you get literally attached to each other, even though sometimes you have to sacrifice things just to compensate the “we”.

I know that marriage is a big turn in life, a big change of events, a big sacrifice of yourself. A person tends to sway away from his / her usual self and sacrifice his/her usual lifestyle because he/she is married. It boggled Carey – the leading actress in SATC and who is a newspaper column writer – as she thought if it really does change someone’s identity when you become married.

As it gave Carey the confusion, I was also thinking about my “change”. It got me thinking… And somehow, it made me realize that I did gradually change my self-being ever since I got married. As I think about my past, I just wasn’t the old me anymore. I’m not even close to the old me. I miss just being able to go out with my bestfriends and have a game of DotA. Although I can play with them over the internet, it just feels different now. I can’t play like I used to. It’s as if, someone is watching over me while I play in front of my laptop. It’s not as if I’m doing something wrong, but I just don’t like the feeling that I’m being watched at while I’m playing. It kinda bothers me. Another major change that kinda ticks me off is that the fact that I’m married with a kid and my batchmates aren’t. It just goes to show that I’m just too young for this. I never got to enjoy life. I never even got the chance to enjoy my life after college! It’s just unfair. Really unfair.

While my friends are able to do almost anything they want, I can’t, because I’m a mom now. I have responsibilities to take care of. I can’t use my money for what I want, because I’m a mom now. I have to be as thrifty as I could. I have to plan for the future of my baby, her necessities, her check-ups, her school, her college. Yes, I am planning her schooling as soon as now. I don’t want to be begging for money from my parents AGAIN for her tuition fees. I swear, never again shall I ask for money from my parents for my family. It just destroys my well-protected pride ever since I was a kid. Although as of now, I don’t have any face to show my parents anymore, especially to my dad. I can’t even look straight at him now. The fact that we owe him a lot of money ever since we got married makes me want to just stop living my usual life and just think on ways on how to make money.

Okay, I know that I should grow up. I should face reality. I should not complain at all. But, you just don’t know how strict my parents were when I was still studying. I never experienced the usual highschool and college life that most have experienced (having fun, outing with friends, dancing in a bar, etc.) It was always study, study and more study. Playing games online with my friends was the only fun I had. I really want to at least experience those. But I just can’t now. All because I’m a mom now…

Are these changes permanent? Will I forever stay at home? Will I ever get the chance to live the “college graduate life”?
