So there I was, ready to party in a club with a couple hundred college girls from an exclusive school. I got my best threads on, game face all set to go, confidence level on a 9/10, and a great view of the place.
Long story short, I was excited to go on and party. But soon after my urge to mingle, I learn that my sister needs to go home early. I called my parents to ask if I can stay after they've left, they declined despite my somewhat convincing argument. So I resigned and obeyed. We headed home together.
Upon arriving home, a couple of my friends were drinking in front of their place. They called out to me and so decided to go over there to greet them.
Upon greeting them, they asked me how I was so I told them that I was pretty ticked off that my party was cut short even before it started. They invited me to drink with them which I declined (respectfully of course). They asked me about my drinking habits and I confessed that I still drink occasionally but I make it a point that I don't get drunk.
This question led them to ask about my commitments with other things such as obedience to parents, relationships, and girls. I was able to share with them my conviction. Then they asked about the end of the world. I was also able to share with them the biblical truths about this event. It felt like they were very interested. They listened and asked for about an hour.
God humbled me this way. He gave me a circumstance where I could either respond very negatively or somewhat positively. I did the latter and He allowed me to share a little of Himself to a couple of friends.
Praise God. To Him be all the Glory.

Splatterhouse - Mini Review
I've started playing this game a couple of weeks ago despite reviews on it that said it was pretty bad. I find it a little amusing. Your character gets possessed by an evil spirit, gets auto-buffed, and rips apart demons and other creatures.
It's a basic platformer. You need a little bit of skill to get through the levels. The combos are quite entertaining to perform. And the splatter... YES! THE SPLATTER! Guts spilled everywhere. Limbs being used as weapons. The "hero" gets drenched in blood. What's not to like?
This game deserves a little more than just a double take. If you're not going to buy it, at least borrow it from your friend.

myself + Kinect Your Shape - Umagang Kay Ganda = Still Good!
Last night as I was preparing for the presentation, I mentioned the deal to my family. They were troubled about why UKG couldn't provide any compensation for either gas or rental of the Kinect. Something that I thought was already weird but I still agreed earlier to do the show without.
As they told me about the experience of a friend who works in that certain network, it turns out that it's really a bit shady when it comes to financial things. I won't discuss details yet as I don't know the story personally yet, but when I do, I'll just add the details here.
It was very disappointing for me that the segment producer cancelled the part just because I asked for compensation for the service that I would provide and the resources that I would consume. One would think guests will have at the very least, a minimum of respect and value as parts of their show. Last time I guested, I even got charged for parking. (lol)
Anyway, to cut the long story short, the kinect segment on UKG did not push through but I'm still quite at peace with myself since I obeyed my parents (Ephesians 6:1). And if it didn't push through, God didn't want it to push through. Since it's God's will, I submit.
I got in touch with the competition of UKG and hopefully we'll arrange something better. I'll be fully prepping for it once a gig pops up.
Again, to God be all the glory!
