I experienced SUDS (Sudden Unexpected Death Syndrome) and survived this morning a few minute's before 7:00am. In Tagalog, SUDS is called bangungot. It was weird. It started out with this weird dream. I was at some indoor swimming pool and just jumped of the diving board when I heard some weird narration. The voice was some guy saying, "You know what happens when you dive all the way to the bottom of the pool, the Shadow Man gets you." In my dream I laughed as I got to the bottom because I know nothing like that exists, but as I looked around under the water, I saw a human like figure made up of what looked like black smoke. After that, it disappeared and out of nowhere, something started to hold me down under the water. I had this weird feeling all over me like a really strong wind was holding me down. I woke up and I couldn't move. I still felt like there was wind holding me down even though I was awake. I could look around with my eyes, but I just couldn't move. I was getting really scared when my arm popped up. The weird feeling all over my body disappeared, but my body was trembling. I remembered how my friends described his encounter with SUDS and this seemed like it, so I searched Google for the word "bangungot", and it came up under Wikipedia. After reading the description, there was no doubt that what I had encountered was SUDS.

If you want to see what I found out about SUDS on Wikipedia, here's the link:

Well, have a nice day...

I made these out of boredom...

... a game called "Mabinogi". It's pretty much your typical MMORPG (or Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game [which means an online game that a lot of people play at the same time which allows interaction between players] for those who don't know the meaning) wherin you create a character and go about you business.

In this game, you pretty much live your fantasy life. You can go explore, get a part time job, hang out with people you meet online, and play music!

This one is pretty innovative as it also allows you to compose music in-game by the use of instruments, such as the ukelele, and score sheets. The way you make music is by using MML (Music Markup Language [a language used by the comuter to generate sounds]) to make up songs. It teaches you how to make it, although very difficult if you don't know much about music and notes. A lot of people made great compsitions. Mostly songs from animes and RPGs (such as Final Fantasy).

It's pretty good and I can't wait for the final release of Mabinogi.

It's a 2d fighting engine that you can use to pretty much create your own game. I've actually been playing this game a lot and customizing it. I'm even developing my own character. Spriting is just a pain though. It's a fun game, and you guys should try it if you're into games like Marvel Vs. Capcom and such!!!

I haven't been gaming in a while. The only games I've been playing are Guitar Hero II and Battle Realms. I have Guild Wars, but I just don't feel it anymore. Am I losing a part of me that I've held on to for so long? Am I no longer a "GAMEFREAK"?

Well, anyways, I watched a great movie today. It was call "El Orfanato" or "The Orphanage" in English, it was subtitled. It's a story about a woman who buys the orphanage she was raised in with a plan to open up a home for special children.

On the day of the welcome party, her son goes missing, and she is forced to go through the history of the orphanage to find her son.

I didn't expect much from this movie at first, but it pulled me in. The story was great and it has great "jump our your seat" moments. It took me by surprise.

Well, don't know what else to say, peace out, See ya'll!!!

A lot of things have happened since then. Hehe, and it's Christmas morning now. I can't sleep, but it doesn't really matter. I got two "real" lightsabers for Christmas! Hehe, of course they're fake, but it's amazing what "The GIMP" can do! Here's some pics!

I also wanna wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
