Unleash Our Inner Hero!

Heads up gamers! I'm excited about this new card game that is going to be released 77 days, 6 hours, 55 minutes and 31 seconds from the time I'm writing this post. I'm an avid card gamer too for those who do not know. My hobbies include fantasy card games and I've spent quite a few bucks for my deck even when I was still in college. I'm going to dish out a few too when this gets released, the plot seems realistic and great. I'm hoping that the game itself would equal what was indicated in the story line because I personally would even want this in a movie which I'm sure could even get a huge following like the comic book heroes.

The trading cards are not that bad because the art work is quite phenomenal. I think I've heard some of the illustrator's names like Emmanuel who is pretty well known in deviant art. I'm sure he's got lots of his graphic work immortalized in the collectible card game not to mention the great interpretation of monsters, enhancements, magic and mechanical robots. The cyborg like make up of the prime characters show eerie personalities too and if the story continues as good as the one on their site, terminator 3 may have a run for it's money. The other trading card artists are also great in their work, it just fits the whole package.

I hope some of you would be able to wait that long. I'm planning to also join their community which also quite similar to the on line gaming site I manage now. I fervently hope this could change the one I'm playing today because they will also soon release more characters. This was just not done that regularly so I tend to get bored with the tactics I play to win from other addicts in my neighborhood. If they switch to this one 77 days from now, guess who's starting a deck first! Ha-ha!

1,310 New Philippine Lawyers Passed 2008 Bar Exams

It's only 1,310 that passed from the 6,364 that tried their best in the 2008 Bar examinations last September 7, 14, 21 and 28 for 2008 which was held in De La Salle University Taft Avenue, Manila.

Justice Dante Tinga, Chair of the 2008 Committee on Bar Examinations also said that the number only pertains to about 20.58% examinees. This is still a low passing rate even if they already lowered the passing percentage but they feel that the exam was really also harder in this set.

The bar topnotcher is Atty. Judy A. Lardizabal of San Sebastian College Law School that got 85.70%. Her parents are sure to be proud of her.

Aside from Lardizabal, included in the top 10 list are:

Change We Need in SOHO Businesses

Times are hard and even the greatest 20 countries are scuffling to merge today in London for a summit to resolve the world financial crisis. The G20 with months worth of agreements from coast to coast worked together to formulate not just a stimulus package worth trillions of dollars but a safety net of huge changes in the system of capitalism in the world market. The Asian currencies have all rallied and brought huge gains against the dollar which makes positive impact on their cause because this is what they have been all wishing to do.

The result of quarters that have been in negative growth even for these well to do countries is so hard since thousands lost their jobs. There are some parts of the EU countries that had to cut down on their wages up until 10 percent so as to at least keep their businesses afloat. The Philippines however is doing an awesome job because it has even posted slow growth when everybody else was posting negative GDP percentages together with only 1 other country in the region. This is good news for us but I hope the government would be able to sustain this, otherwise we would be in the same boat as with the stricken countries.

The President has been suggesting to stimulate the market with job opportunities and she is also spearheading government initiatives. The role also of entrepreneurs has been harnessed for home and small office businesses. This not only generates jobs but also empowers the person to have their own businesses at their own home. I like the ones also recommended in http://www.PaidIdea.com that explains how on line businesses thrive through these tough times. These are all legitimate and home based so it is quite easy for any Internet savvy individual. Logistics for it are also cost effective since you are being pushed to be your own boss. I will embark on this lucrative line of businesses and see how I would fare in a couple of years. Wish me luck!
