FFVII: Advent Children (Warning - Spoilers Ahead!)

Cloud overseeing Zak's BladeCloud & Aerith
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 fantasy to see that you never buried him deeper than one foot in the ground. The story happens almost about 2 years since the playstation game.

One thing - no chocobos were seen in the game.

Kadaj and his boysCloud in battle aura
And here are the 8 battle scenes (that's right - EIGHT) I've counted. These battles would make the Matrix look like an old Chinese DragonballZ movie.

1. Cloud vs Kadaj's boys outside Midgar
2. Tifa vs Loj inside the ruined church
3. Cloud & Vincent vs Kadaj and his boys at the Forgotten Capital
4. Rude & Reno vs. Kadaj's boys at the Midgar Plaza
5. Cloud and his allies vs Bahamut at Midgar
6. Cloud vs Kadaj's boys off a motorcycle fight
7. Cloud vs Kadaj
8 Cloud vs Sephiroth (yeah!!!!)

To all FFVII fans, never ever miss this movie/DVD. It's a helluva dream come true.

A Fish Farm Trip

Just about 10 kilometers from our place is a fish farm that has been breeding tropical fish for aquarists and fish fans for a long time already. I had the chance to visit it as I was searching for newer species for my ponds. It was a wonderful trip and I was longing for more foot energy though because I haven't visited everything as it was just plain enormous. It was also incidental since I saw the largest Pleco in the farm. It was about 30 inches and it just costs 50 PP or about one dollar. I wanted a Pleco for my pond but not a monster like this. Anyway, I bought the shorter one though it still costs the same. Romaing around, I saw all types of Cichlid. Cichlids are actually not only very beautiful fishes but they are perhaps easy to breed and are not very demanding fishes. There were peacocks (Oscars), Angelfish, Auratus, Pindani, Ice Blue, Yellow Labs, and Zebras. There were also live-bearers like swordtails, guppies, mollies, and platys. There were also bettas and they're ...

New Flash Clock design

Ok, here goes another simple flash clock that can be in your blog like mine. For a good example of this clock, see my current clock on the right. Currently, I'm still working on my flash templates for blogs. It's just a very busy month for me and I can't seem to find more time for such. I'm not a complicated Flash coder so sorry if you find my clock bland. Anyway, it looks simple and fit for me. :P For the codes, please see my previous post. Type 2 Red and Type 2 Blue Here are my links: Type 2 Red: http://my.opera.com/arzakem/homes/files/2red.swf Type 2 Blue: http://my.opera.com/arzakem/homes/files/2blue.swf Please download my flash files and upload it on your own server because at any time I might be removing it when I ran out of space.
