Legend of the Condor Heroes 2008

Yes I am watching yet another version of this movie =P I am literally impressed that this version is so different from other version. With so many great releases before, they dare to modify the story and make their own interpretation.
I didn't manage to catch every single episode in Channel U since they are airing on weekend. So far I only watched up to episode 10 
very slow considering they have 50 episodes... And I have to be very patient since they might not come very soon he he he.
But for the first 10 episodes, I can say that I can't wait how the story will go... The story begins with Qiu Chuji's flashback about his meeting with Guo and Yang. They cut this part really short and suddenly both families were attacked by Duan Tiande. Guo and Yang seemed died, well we know that Guo died and Yang survived =P both wives' presence are unknown.
Priest Qiu then met with 7 Freaks of Jiangnan, had a fight, all collapsed. Duan Tiande appears again with Mrs. Guo and left. Priest Qiu and 7 Freaks of Jiangnan made a pact that they will find the ladies and sons. They will meet again 18 years later and both sons will have to fight against each other. One thing never changes, they are afraid of what pugilistic world might say about them... Even without internet and facebook, gossip spreads fast too that time ^.^
Again the story is cut short. Guo Jing grew up in Mongolia. Genius in archery (yes because he can stand on the horse and aim at 2 condors at one time, LOL), but very stupid in everything else. Until he met Priest Ma Yu and taught him internal skills. Then they need to go back to fulfill the agreement 18 years ago.
Guo Jing met smart Huang Rong. Here, it is very clear why they love each other. Not like the version on 2006 where Guo Jing told his teachers that it is natural thing between guy and girl, when asked why he likes Huang Rong *faint*. And just like that their adventure began...
The next thing which is so different is between Yang Tie Xin and Bao Xi Ruo. It took them few episodes to finally meet each other... and until episode 10, they have not reunited. I almost gave up in the middle of episode 10 when everything is very slow. Yang Tie Xin was influenced by Wanyan Hong Lie words and thought that he is useless, since he can only find his wife and son after 18 years. He was also convinced that both of them are happy with the wealth and position they now have. Even though they choose to be with him now, he doesn't know how to start the reunion.
While Bao Xi Ruo felt deeply guilty for helping Wanyan Hong Lie 18 years ago which is the source of all disasters. And also because she has been married to someone else. So she can't say anything and only know how to cry *faint again*. Luckily Auwyang Ke appears and as usual, being very cunning. He tried to convince Yang Kang to go back to the palace. This is interesting because it shows that Yang Kang is actually not evil. It is the way he has been brought up. And the situation around him was not condusive. His real parents didn't talk to each other after the reunion. Huang Rong keeps despising whatever he is doing. And nobody really knows how to support him at that time 
Another interesting part is between Yang Kang and Mu Nianci. It was so romantic seeing Yang Kang wash her feet. It shows that he likes her. One more interesting scenes are the scene where Huang Rong tricks Auwyang Ke. I simply like it and again, I can understand why Auwyang Ke is crazy about her.
Ok will continue after another 10 episodes (still long way to go =P) Can't wait for Huang Yaoshi, Hong Chi Kung, and Cioe Pe Tong.

Invitation to the Thirsty
1 "Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.
2 Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
3 Give ear and come to me;
hear me, that your soul may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David.
4 See, I have made him a witness to the peoples,
a leader and commander of the peoples.
5 Surely you will summon nations you know not,
and nations that do not know you will hasten to you,
because of the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor."
6 Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way
and the evil man his thoughts.
Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.
9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
12 You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree,
and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.
This will be for the LORD's renown,
for an everlasting sign,
which will not be destroyed."

blackberry phenomena
Posted by ver0n1c4 at 01:36 PM on May 27, 2009.
blackberry is super hot in Indonesia. the phone is super expensive. but the plan is super cheap. so those businessmen, they just bite the bullet and use it. the more people use it, the more people will buy, so they can use the messenger with each other and soon, good bye SMS =P
i can understand this because internet access is not that convenient in Indonesia. but then soon teenagers start to use them. and the moms too (!!!!).
for some reasons, i think it is silly to use blackberry if you are not working. if you need to check your email 24 hours, then it's fine. but if you just use it to chat, update facebook, and check personal email, then....... =P
well, actually i don't care if lots of people use blackberry. it just bothers me because of 2 kids i know decided to buy them. i can't imagine what they will buy as they grow up....
