the above pic brings wonderful videogame playing memories back in pinas. sigh (blame it on mengs, he started the ice candy flashback).

called 'legend of mana' this was the second rpg game me and my sis played (the first being 'chocobo dungeons 2', which we technically still havent finished). what really stood out on this game was the character you now see above - Pearl.

dear gosh. she's about the worst character you could EVER be paired up with. my character was preparing to fight this boss, and i was egging my sister to go attack it as well (FYI, she controlled Pearl). so up she goes to the boss and when she pressed a button on her controller, Pearl immediately began.... to drop to her knees and cower!

OMG.

laughter ensued - thea kept pressing the button and Pearl would duck, and i was laughing AND trying to fight to keep both of our characters alive. both of us almost had tears running down our cheeks.

which brings to mind another laugh-out-loud memory -- our rendevouz with the LIVER sisig. you can read that in my sis's blog

quote from rony's blog

"So risk. Risk being vulnerable. Risk falling in love first. Risk saying yes even if you are terrified the other person will turn away. Risk being you when your fears tell you to be anything but. Risk putting boundaries in place and saying no. Risk being worth someone's effort. Risk asking for love. Risk anything that stands between you and your ability to be the loving presence you are when fear is running the show. Love may be rusty, but don't let that stop you. It's like riding a bike. Accept the risk. Get on and start pedaling. It will all come back- it always does." Rhonda Britten

hmmmm...
