Arzakem's Biotopia

I was surprised yesterday by my cousin's new pond entity - a common river eel. He took the eel from a river about 22 km from us. Actually he wasn't the one who caught this. He only paid some kids on the area to catch something for him. He was surprised when they came back with the eel. If he hadn't paid for it the eel would surely find its way cooked and eaten by these kids as this is a usual catch for them. Talks of larger eels stimulated our interest into going back to the place again. Let's just see if there's something bigger waiting for us there. Eels can live on ponds as long as there is water movement and rocky crevices where it can hide in solace. I've had fire eels in my aquarium 2 years ago and it's fun to watch them pop their heads out to look for food. My cousin supplied apple snails to feed it. I doubt it takes that but normal fish pellets could be better alternative. This eel is about 18 inches long. A Big-headed slimy pet.

Got this from unexplained-mysteries.com and it made me laugh.

Last night was irritating - imagine a road traffic to hold you for about an hour. And there's that strong rain that soaked me up while I crossed the streets. Moreso, I never had any jacket with me because I thought there won't be any rain since it was about 30 degrees Celsius yesterday morning. When I arrived home, I forgot to bring the DVD I was supposed to watch. "There goes another boring day...", I thought while slowly losing reality in 40 winks. Morning arrives and I woke up in one of the best morns I've ever had. Birds chirp, roosters cock, and those turkeys cackle from our neighbor. Immediately I grabbed my phone and took some shots...click... Here comes the sun, do-do-dodo, here comes the sun... I sure hoped that coconut trunk could have grown leaves. These carps are having coffee while that clam is waiting for cookie crumbs to fall over. I thought these clams won't survive but they did. It's a nice addition to my species-rich pond. This Albino Osc...

My post would be worth giving tribute to a woman who has inevitably brought forth racial equality in the most powerful of nations. A woman of great courage and fair judgment, she will be missed and honored by the world as one of history's most important persons. I only hope that what she died promoting would forever be in our minds and that we may never get back to what we were before. I would always consider racism as deeds of barbaric and uncivilized nature. People like Mrs.Parks make us think better and go on living peacefully and beyond wars.

Life has been cruel to me - all I can afford taking pictures is a Motorola e398 and it's not a digital cam. Huh, but that wouldn't stop me from taking pics with everything. And should I tell you that my cat is also named Moto? That's a revelation - I'm promoting Motorola mobiles and cool-named Cats. Great week it was... here are proofs: This is Moto. And he's looking at me (of course dumbo!) I should call this "The Mysteries of Creation" (???????) Raining Friday. I believe this road leads to nowhere but getting wet! What could be ruining a beautiful natural shot? A view at the pier after island hopping Moto on a watchful eye over my tropical fish pond And this is my Flowerhorn fish. Not named yet. Maybe I'll call him Rola. I'm no professional photographer and I still wear glasses so don't ever judge my picture takes. Send me a digital camera if you won't stop complaining. :)

The Star Wars saga is over and the book is closed. Somehow, it brings me to some realizations that Lucas' mindpot had been cooked and served to us in terms of character unknowingly. Do not fear! Yes indeed to the padawans of the multitude, Yoda whispers in the wind, "do not fear, fear begets anger, and anger begets aggression". Actually, it's a reference to all religious that classify themselves as "God-fearing". Will fear bring anger? That might be of no sense but if you fly for a bird's-eye view of the current sociological climate, it would seem that anger springs from too much of being "in fear". Afraid of losing power, a politician resort to ordering the massacre of his people; afraid of losing business monopoly, a conglomerate would absorb the few small-scale striving workers; afraid of being sent to a hellish place, a pastor would lead his followers to his personal infallible theories; afraid of losing everything, a man would willingly s...

When I've watched FF: Spirits Within years ago, I was a little desperate - this ain't the Final Fantasy movie in my mind. But seeing FFVII: Advent Children is a masterpiece and this might be the one final fantasy we've been waiting for! The movie itself captures my nostalgic moments of playing it in the good ol' PSX reminiscing my casual irks defeating Final Weapon. It was like being into the world off FF7 again - seeing familiar faces, places, summons, and even ubiquituous moogles. When Kadaj, the lead antagonist character, summoned Bahamut and seemingly would want to summon another, I admit I had wished it was Leviathan. Anyway, the excellent piece is movie-long and wouldn't leave you longing for more. But I still wished there were more and it was longer, like a 3-CD set game. For a list of familiar appearances, I have listed it below. And if you're someone who grew up playing the game and living up to defeat and finish Sephiroth off, here's your final f...
