Tigers Eye for the Year of the Tiger

2010-02-18T05:15:00.000-08:00

Last Sunday February 14, 2010, we all celebrate two of the most important celebration for the month of February. The Chinese New Year welcoming the Year of the Golden Tiger (February 14, 2010 to February 2, 2011) and the second most important celebration is Valentines Day.

So as I was passing by my local Chinese Store, I ask for a fashionable item that will help me bring luck and prosperity in this year. Specifically on the career side

Since I was born on the year of the WOOD Rat according to the Chinese calendar, I needed to know what faith has installed for me this year. Since you know, Tiger is a BIG CAT or belongs to the Cat family and cats do like to chase mice. So I am guessing this year is going to be a very busy and challenging year.

They Recommended the TIGERS eye…

So I did some digging on the internet to check the metaphysical properties of this stone are;

Protection, clear thinking, personal empowerment, integrity, willpower, practicality, balance, will, courage

If you need to make some changes in your life, this is the stone for you.

Promotes balance and strength to get through difficult phases of life; relieves doubt and bestows decision making with vision and clarity. Helps one to be practical

They said that this is the lucky stone for this year, I was a bit skeptical at first.

But it did look good with my shirt that day, so what the heck might as well try it.

They cleansed the crystal before giving it to me.

So Tart and i decided to grab some coffee before going home.

I was already anticipating the worst since it was a Saturday afternoon (A day before the Valentines) and we are in SM CITY CEBU. Starbucks will be jammed pack for sure.

Tart ordered for me since I know he likes to smoke his Marlboro lights while drinking his coffee (Who doesn't right?)

so the moment I went outside to check if there was any table available, a couple just stood up. So I immediately went to the table and sat down. GOOD LUCK ALREADY? I am starting to love this new Tigers eye bracelet of mine.

Dante’s Inferno

2010-02-12T07:28:00.000-08:00

Another Third person action adventure game is about to hit the stand probably within this month.

Dante’s Inferno was just recently released by Electronic Arts and Visceral Games

Being a big boy in the city, one must also learn to ride with the tides, specifically the Tech world.
While I was waiting for DIABLO 3 to hit the market, another third person game caught my fancy.

The game is base on the literary works of Dante Alighieri the Divine Comedy (probably one of the most influential books of all time)

Much like the book, you will be playing Dante, the protagonist of this game and your mission is to find Beatrice (His Beloved) and attempts to free her soul from the Devil (Lucifer).

Dante’s primary weapon is a Death Scythe (which he took from death himself after he killed him) and a Holy cross. This is still the typical third person action were Combination of Magic and Sword/Scythe skill is essential in the fight. The use of magic would still depend on your MANA level.

Dante has two skill category, HOLY and Unholy skill tree; the more enemies you kill means more Souls you get (Soul exchange is the game’s currency). You can exchange these souls for a skill either one of the skill tree.

Same as what is written in the book, Dante will travel the 9 circles of Hell in order to find his beloved Beatrice.

The First Circle of Hell - Limbo

Condemned Host: Pontius Pilate

Condemned Souls: Orpheus, Electra

Confirmed Boss: King Minos

The Second Circle of Hell - Lust

Condemned Host: Francesca da Polenta

Condemned Souls: Paolo Malatesta, Semiramis

Confirmed Bosses: Cleopatra and Mark Antony

The Third Circle of Hell - Gluttony

Condemned Host: Ciacco

Condemned Souls: Clodia

Confirmed Boss: Cerberus

The Fourth Circle of Hell - Greed

Condemned Host: Gessius Florus

Condemned Souls: Fulvia, Tarpeia

Confirmed Boss: Alighiero (Dante's Father)

The Fifth Circle of Hell - Anger

Condemned Host: Filippo Argenti

Condemned Souls: Boudica, Hecuba

Confirmed Boss: Phlegyas

The Sixth Circle of Hell - Heresy

Condemned Host: Farinata Uberti

Condemned Souls: Frederick II, Cavalcante de' Cavalcanti

The Seventh Circle of Hell - Violence

Condemned Host: Pietro della Vigna

Condemned Souls: Atilla, Brunetto Latini, Guido Guerra

Confirmed Boss: Francesco Portinari (Beatrice's Brother)

The Eighth Circle of Hell - Fraud

Condemned Host: Thais

Condemned Souls: Tiresias, Myrrha

The Ninth Circle of Hell - Treachery

Condemned Host: Fra Alberigo

Condemned Souls: Mordred, Count Ugolino

Confirmed Boss: Lucifer

I would strongly recommend that you visit the official site of the Game in order to have a visual on the different circles of hell.
