This game was created by ONE person in a span of FIVE years.

Engaging story, smooth controls, and catchy music!

Obviously this guy was generous because it was originally on freeware, but since then it's best version is on the Wii.

Go buy it for 1200 wii points.

It's really worth it.

Go Read It!

It's REALLY REALLY GOOD!

Don't skip issues, read it from the beginning.

There really isn't any better way to describe the warm feeling of family.

Everyone was so supportive and loving. Granted my previous year was pretty bad. This totally makes up for it.

All my favorite cousins were there and we played video-games, and bingo, and sang songs.

There were TONS of gifts. Nothing really expensive, just chocolates and practical stuff.

We do this thing called "White Elephant" where don't buy gifts specifically for anyone. But we buy practical things everyone could use.

We ate SO SO MUCH. Everyone brought something tasty. Now in Hawaii it's sorta schmorgesborg of anything. So you can eat Lasagna with Sushi if you want.

I made grilled garlic shrimp....

and haulpia coconut pudding for my family.

*I cheated and used a premix but it's essentially the same thing as making it from scratch. Now I don't mean I crack open a coconut, I just buy one can of coconut milk.

Everyone enjoyed it.

For such a sucky year, this was a real turn about of happiness. But I wasn't too bummed about how the year has gone. It's just that I wasn't necessarily happiest I could be.

*The Slippers outside my door. Only half the photo fits the 20 something people that came.

_____

I'd like to thank all the people who supported me on Newgrounds and offered your comforting words, encouragement, and recognition. You know who you are ;3

I...FUCKING LOVE THIS SHOW!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

About a year ago, my father...who was a cancer research doctor. Fell ill to cancer and died at the estimate time of 6 months with chemotherapy. His illness took a great toll on my life and happiness, as I cared for him for his remaining days....

*I mean....dude, I really can't imagine going through anything tougher in my life. He didn't make it easier, he obviously wasn't taking the reality well. Allot of emotional trauma etc.

He specifically died of Pancreatitis - a cancer relating to the pancreas that plays a major role in our dietary health.

It wasn't unforeseen however. I knew my father's eating habits. Large quantities of red meats, heavy cheeses, butter, excess caffeine and alcohol. My father rarely ate fruits and veggies on a regular basis. I constantly told him off about it, but he never really had any self-control.

There is a saying..."If we have any control in our lives, then we should strive for longevity and humanity to the extent that we have." I forgot who said that but it was someone important.

Anyhoo, a few cultures, and maybe a few doctors know now the truth behind curing our cancer. That's right....I said "CURING" your Cancer. It's a long shot, but hey, nothing ventured nothing gained right?

Cultures that do not eat processed foods are less likely to have dental problems or cancers even without dental care or doctors.

It's all about diet & lifestyle.

But hey, we are people of culture and food! We enjoy what we eat! And I encourage that too. But if it comes to the point of excess, then you should consider eating something more and something less.

You must stick to your culture. My culture of healthy diet is Okinawa diet, since I am half Okinawan. I'm like crazy dude, I drink Bittermelon smoothies occasionally. But I still enjoy local manufactured sweets, but most of them use natural sugars so it's better than other companies.

But rather than getting too complicated and researching diets and stuff.

Just keep it simple.

1. MORE FRUITS AND VEGGIES EVERY DAY!
2. GREATLY REDUCE PROCESSED FOODS & DRINKS
* ie: burgers + sodas
3. REDUCE ANIMAL FAT
*specifically red meat, chicken is okay if prepared properly, fish is okay if mercury levels are low enough.
4. EXERCISE & SLEEP WELL
5. KEEP A SAFE, CLEAN, AND COMFORTABLE LIFESTYLE
*Avoid stress and seek healthy environments.
....
....
....
6. Laugh, Love, and Play.
*Be with friends...be with family.....or simply just seek happiness within yourself.

You need to do your own research of what you consider to be healthy.
How you feel will greatly measure the amount of health & wellbeing you possess.
Don't be discouraged if there is a right way or a wrong way.
The fact is your trying to live better.
Your gonna die anyway, so at least live a little, but also understand you have a responsibility to yourself and others if you have.
It's what you build and what you give that really matters.
If you pray to God.... pray to God. But think about your prayers.

-------

I'm not confident about any real methods of health.

But.......I would recommend a few good books and cultures to research.

Look up....

"Dr. Gerson"
*Questionable Doctor, but interesting to learn about.

"Okinawan Diet"
*Which basically consists of fruits and veggies.

"Blueberries, Bittermelon, Almonds"
*Three superfoods I enjoy to eat often.

"The Beautiful Truth Documentary"
*It's rather mind boggling what they talk about.

"Super Size Me Documentary"
*Fast food is never good for you. It's main purpose is profit.

"Blendtech Blenders"
*Best Investment for drinking whole fruits and veggies without sacrificing any valuable fiber unlike juicers.

-------

A year has passed and I feel better about my situation. I am quite happy now. Not because of God, not because the trails and tribulations are over...but because I've survived and learned from the experience.

All previous dramas in my life now seem like child's tantrums. And I am more mature and knowledgeable than I have ever been before.

Merry Christmas and I hope you learn from my experience.

Okay enough emotional shit. Let's PARTY!
Merry Christmas!

That means....

You buy Awesome Videogames!

You count your blessings and pray. Seriously Sab, can't you make another one for Christmas? Or rather, you should print a few post cards to sell for charity.

Mayhaps you go Ice-skating? This really was touching to see.

Youth is to be cherished and welcomed for the coming new year. Behold! the King is born!

You can give, even if there is nothing left to give. Like seriously, this is one emotional flash.

You cherish your fellow animals. I really wanted to contribute man. But I found out too late. But I love you love your dogs.

It's a time to be nice....and a bit naughty! NSFW - but it's so funny!. Whoever thought of that "God" scene obviously was inspired from those old Christmas films. it's nice.

Try to get together with family and friends. Even if there is some tension between people who may not be your friends, it's a good opportunity to allow some emotional walls to be chipped away.

Hope your Christmas is a blast!

Okay, I cannot stress this enough.

DON'T DO METH!

If you know anyone who is doing meth or you yourself have done it or are doing it? STOP NOW!

You will never benefit from this drug, and if it's something you cannot control, seek help NOW!

If you enjoy fighting wave after wave of hardcore bosses, then Infinity Blade is a very fun App game.

Granted the only thing that really changes is the difficulty level per generation. If you already know how each boss fights, dodging is fairly easy. But it can get monotonous so you may actually zone out while playing.

However it features a TON of upgrade armor and weapons to make your own warrior shine!

Updates for multiplayer and other features will be up soon so why not grab a version for your smart phone.

*Update: I beat the God King with the third generation of warrior. He's fairly hard and it'll only get harder afterwards. It's basically an arcade game. You can play the same thing over again with harder bosses. It's actually lots of fun now!

The Holidays are a time to gorge on heavy foods. But you should try to get a chance to eat some good things in the meantime. Here's a list of healthy veggies.

Bittermelon aka Goya : This is one HELLA bitter veggie. Now all fruits and veggies are beneficial in fiber and vitamins. But if you can acquire a taste for Bittermelon...there's a chance you will skip getting cancer or diabetes in this lifetime.

*Learn more from "FriedasProduce" on youtube.

Garlic : Sure, you may know that garlic is good for you. In fact, you've probably already known that it has anti-bacterial and antibiotic properties. You must know that it will help you get over a flu quicker. You do right?

*Learn more from "AskDrMao" on youtube.

Sweet Potatoes : Dude...trust me. It ain't as bad as you think to eat sweet potatoes. As long as you avoid the extra sugar and butter you are eating one of the best taters in the world! Rich in antioxidants that are good for your skin and rich in fiber.

.

*Here's a special ripped off the food-network.

Blueberries : Okay, there's argument I get from people that Acai is better for you. BULLSHIT! Any dark colored fruit and veggie is good for you. Acai is just a marketing and you're paying for the import and export. Acai is good for people in South America, Acai grows well in warmer weather. But here in North America, blueberries grow better because of it's cooler weather. DARK COLOR is important, it doesn't matter where it comes from. But save yourself some money and buy what is availiable in your district. And for many of us living in the USA, it's blueberries!

Eat well and eat healthy! Healthy can also be very delicious!

This season is a time for not only giving of gifts, but giving of colds and flues.

So take extra good care of your health and eat LOT'S of chicken soup.

There's not much science behind it, but somehow chicken soup boosts your immune system.

(Especially if it's homemade from scratch.)

Now, I know what your thinking....Homemade soup is difficult.

Well...yes, and no. It's not that difficult but it does take some time.

To start off...you'll need an "already cooked"... "whole roasted chicken." You can easily attain one already cooked from places like "Costco" or "Sam's Club" or even at your local super market.

Basically you'll want to strip the chicken of all it's meat and skin, and boil the bones and some of the skin in a pot of water ~ fill to the "near" top. Not too much otherwise the boil will spill over.

Boil for a good 2 hours on high heat and strain the broth from the bones. 2 hours is usaually a good enough time to get all the flavor out of chicken bones. But and extra hour couldn't hurt. You basically want to see the chicken fat separating from the skin and the bones turning white. That's the indication that the broth is made. You may need to add more water as the water is reduced a bit as the hour goes by.

With your nice clean broth, you simply add the following veggies diced.

1. Turnips
2. Carrots
3. Onions
4. Potatoes *raw with skin (try Yukon Gold)

Be sure to season and taste the broth after the veggies added some flavor. Some salt, pepper, oregano, and a "pinch" of dried chipotle grounds to add some spice.

If necessary, you should add one or two cubes of chicken bouillon. It has some cornstarch in it so it will thicken the broth nicely.

Finally, throw in some minced cooked chicken and left over skin skin and cook for another 10 minutes.

It's ready to eat!

*For extra flavor and nutrition, I like to throw in some fresh baby spinach just at the last minute of serving to guest.
