![]() When we were tired of playing on the lawn, we used to play a game of "feed the fish" around the pound. I’m still to this day amazed that I had the joy and revelation of witnessing it myself.Īpart from the downstairs lawn, we also liked to go to visit the dam alongside the lawn to enjoy ourselves. But of course, she had not seen the amazing process with her own eyes, so after all, who could blame her? It was an unexpected and unbelievable event. Ouch! I felt very badly at the time that she had not believed me. Afterwards, I ran quickly into the house to my mother to tell her all about it but she was doubtful of the story. Such a sense of self-preservation in such a small creature with (presumably) so little to fight for. I was totally surprised however, I could not help gasping in admiration for the great intelligence of that beetle. It got out of the bottle and ran away, making a break for it. I still remember how I once caught a particularly clever beetle, which unexpectedly folded up the pieces of grass I sprinkled inside the bottle and used them as a sort of staircase, in order to climb up to the highest point. Meanwhile, we would puncture a few holes in the bottle with a needle and sprinkle in a few pieces of grass, and then everything was OK again for the grasshopper. When it would jump to the walls of the plastic bottle, we would put the bottle away and cover it with the lid. When we would spot one grasshopper, we would just wait a few short moments until it rested on the grass, and then we would quickly come up with the bottle, and would cage the unfortunate grasshopper in no time. Once we arrived at the lawn with it, we would just make a mess with some extremely tiny dry twigs on the lawn, and then the grasshoppers would jump out from everywhere. OfĮverything was wonderful as long as we could casually find an empty bottle in the house. Most of the time, we would pick up a beautiful flower, catch a butterfly, or secretly take away a melon seed that other people had put out on the lawn to dry, and then would begin to eat with our not-yet completely straight teeth. Of course, being children, we had to take our entertainment where we could get it, and the bugs and nature supplied a very rich source of entertainment for us. There’s no denying that the lawn was not only their paradise, but also our fairyland where we little children could sing and dance, play all day long and enjoy life to the fullest. There were always a large number of bugs on the lawn, such as grasshoppers, butterflies, dragonflies, beetles, ants, earthworms, and so on. We children would run about getting into trouble while our parents conversed with each other, enjoying one anothers’ company, enjoying the nature themselves, though perhaps not quite as hands on as we children did. We would have many social events on the lawn. We were one with the lawn, inseparable.Ĭelebration was always important. We were a fully integrated part of it, and it was a fully integrated part of us. I recall how we would gather out there, as a family, and enjoy the lovely weather how we children would run amok and play children’s games out there in the cradle of nature. This green lawn brought us infinite happiness as a family and as children. ![]() My deepest memory of childhood is the downstairs lawn, which was green all year round. We celebrate life, we celebrate nature, and we celebrate our close connection with both. The trees begin to bud, and in a short time, there are leaves, green and vivid, a happy reminder that the long winter is behind us and that we have happier, celebratory seasons before us and that we will not be facing the poor weather again for some time. Rapes (a kind of flower) bloom with golden flower and give off a heavy scent. When spring is coming, wheat begins to grow after a long winter, and its small and long leaves get greener, shaking with the wind. Looking at the tender green leaves of the trees through the window, I can't help thinking of my childhood. It stays lighter longer, a wonderful respite from the dull, dark, dreary days of winder. The weather is getting warmer and warmer, branches of trees begin sprouting new leaves, and all different kinds of birds fly merrily in the sky. ![]() Slowly but quietly, spring is coming towards us.

Ein sighed. ![]() "Well they are not going to win!" Shirobom was going to make sure of that. "They must be here to race too." Pretty Bomber replied. "Hey what are they doing here!?" Kurobom pointed to their enemies. Suddenly Bagular and a Hige Hige Bandit walked up the stables, they were looking for a Tirra to ride. "So do we get to test ride our Louies and Tirras?" Shirobom asked. "So both animal groups have a secret animal that is not to be introduced until we reach the final race track?" Shirobom was confused. Mach Bomber also handed everyone the Tirra list as well, the other animal was a secret too. "I know right? I just want to know about it soo much!" Kurobom complained as well. "They said that the animal is a secret until the final race." Mach Bomber replied. It's picture is just a shadowed figure." Shirobom noticed the missing Louie. "Ah, so the brown one over there is HyperLouie, the blue one is Hopping Louie, the yellow one is Soaring Louie, the pink one is Tri Louie, and the green one is just called Green Louie. "Yes, the list of names are right here, right along with their pictures." Mach Bomber handed the stable paper to him. "So do these Louies have names?" Shirobom asked. Pretty Bomber picked Hopping Louie, the blue Louie walked over to them. "Hey you two, I got the yellow Louie!" Mach Bomber and Soaring Louie walked up to them. "I'm going with the purple Tirra!" Kurobom brought her over. "Chiiiiiiiiiirp!" Green Louie smiled and chirped in response. ![]() "Can I be your partner?" Shirobom asked him. "Chiiiiirp!" Green Louie squealed at the bomber. "Right." Shirobom nodded and petted the green Louie some more. "Yes, but we must pick one for each race." Kurobom remembered the rules. "There are so many Louies and Tirras to choose from." Shirobom noticed. It looked at Mach Bomber and let out a loud Louie chirp. "Hey, you don't mind if I ride you?" Mach Bomber was asking a yellow Louie who was too busy grooming himself with his tongue. They are a part of Mazone." Shirobom was petting the green Louie. "Hey! Did they just capture Louies and train them to race?" Kurobom asked while looking at Hopping Louie. One stable was Tirras and the other was the familiar animal: Louies. Shirobom noticed the stables and ran over to them. Pretty Bomber and Mach Bomber were checking out the stables were the new animals were. "Alright, let's check out our new rides." Kurobom rushed off, Shirobom was behind him. "Good, you two have entered just in time, you took the last two spots." The bomber smiled. "So you two are entering the race?" A bomber at the counter asked, he was wearing a tuxedo with a bow. "Hey! Come on! We have to register!" Kurobom quickly called Shirobom over to the counter. ![]() New tracks were introduced while they were there. Shirobom and Kurobom noticed that the place was changed since the 1st annual fantasy race. "We hope you had a good trip." The driver smiled and waved at the bombers walking off the bus. Finally, the bus was pulling into the station, the gate was open as the bus quickly went inside, the driver stopped the bus and opened the doors to let everyone out. Shirobom and Kurobom fell asleep on the bus after a while, it was a long trip to the Bomber station where the bus would go inside and unload the racers. Mach Bomber was sitting next to Pretty Bomber, they started chatting about the race. Soon the bus came and the two bombers hopped in they were looking at the sights in space, other bombers were riding the bus too. "Right!" They both said in unison and nodded. Shirobom and Kurobom got out of the ship and waited for the space bus to pick them up. I will park and go into the staff entrance." Ein was driving the ship to the space bus parking lot. "Puh! Sure!" Kurobom just looked the other way. "Well are you two ready for the 11th fantasy race?" Ein asked. The other was a black bomber, he was really into winning the up coming event of the year. ![]() "Ah, there they are!" The professor smiled. He looked out of the window and saw the two bombers coming up to his ship. A white bomber was walking outside with his friend, they were trying to go the ship that a professor was waiting in.

This is a developer preference and cannot be reversed, as stated in the Extinction Core FAQ on the Steam Workshop. Similar to some of the higher-tier creatures, Primordials are unable to harvest bodies and resources, instantly decaying the attempted harvest without fruitful bounty. Therefore, they are considered the top-tier creature that you can own and use for battle. They are made by killing a Deity, unlocking a tribute, making a primordial matrix, and then crafting the tribute with all the required items. Primordial Creatures are not like the other Extinction Core creatures that you tame as wild. Bosses, Dieties, Omegas, Scions, Primordials, and Easter Egg Spawn Codes.

Similarly, Zen sees the show as an opportunity to discuss issues in a more in-depth manner and with their new format, they will still be able to do just that and offer even more for their viewers and listeners. This is where I am able to talk to people and probe deeper about the news,” he said. “It’s my outlet or my venue for hard news interviews which I am not able to do in my other programs. Their jam-packed workweek, however, does not stop them from looking forward to doing “Magandang Morning” on Saturday and Sunday. On top of their weekend program, Zen continues to do field reporting for ABS-CBN News and sometimes anchors for “TV Patrol” while Julius has “Mission Possible” and “Bandila” on ABS-CBN and “Lingkod Kapamilya” with Bernadette Sembrano and an earlier edition of “Bandila” on DZMM. I am proud of how far she’s gone in her career and she deserves it because she is an intelligent and articulate journalist who always comes to work prepared,” he explained. We know how to take turns in asking questions or in expressing our thoughts. We are like sparring and dancing when discussing issues. “We complement each other because Zen is also a journalist. Julius also has good words for Zen, his third co-anchor in the show after his wife Tin-Tin Bersola-Babao and Nina Corpuz-Rodriguez. I still look up to him now but he has also become a friend so the tense feeling that comes with being in the same program with a journalist of his caliber is already gone.” ![]() He was surprisingly a very warm person and probably the least intimidating person even though he was already a well-known journalist. “I felt excited and nervous to work with him at first. Zen, meanwhile, continues to relish the opportunity to work with a broadcast veteran like Julius, who helped her learn the ropes as a radio newbie when she joined the program in 2015. I am happy that the show is evolving as we continue to explore more ways to improve the program and make it more interesting for our listeners and viewers.” “It brings joy to me to know we have developed a loyal following through the years. Original anchor Julius shared his excitement as the program undergoes a transformation on its 15 th year. ![]() The program will still feature a rundown of the hot topics in the country, interviews with newsmakers, flash reports from DZMM Radyo Patrol, and in-depth discussions on current issues that the show has been known for since its inception in 2003. Julius and Zen will also feature the other side or the lighter side of people in the news in “Dahan Dahan Lang.” In “Kayod-Kayod,” they will give us a glimpse of the lives of Filipinos who work while everybody else are having their day-off, like policemen, nurses, and vendors. In “Ano’ng Meron,” Julius and Zen will share places that families can go to or activities they can try to bond and relax over the weekend. It will still be news driven with interviews and commentary on the week’s biggest issues and will be introducing new segments to provide their loyal listeners and viewers useful tips and information that they can use in their day-to-day life. Simulcast on DZMM Radyo Patrol 630, the program is hosted by broadcast journalists Julius Babao and Zen Hernandez. I’ve been a fan of the weekend show “Magandang Morning with Julius and Zen” and I’m glad to know it’s about to get a boost with new segments on DZMM TeleRadyo, which is available in ABS-CBN TV Plus and cable TV. ![]() Just because Thor is never actually encountered in God of War, doesn't mean his influence isn't felt all over the game. The Thor character has risen to prominence thanks to Chris Hemsworth's portrayal in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the anticipation for his role in Ragnarök is palpable. ![]() Kind of like Anthony Hopkins winning the Academy Award for Best Actor in less than half an hour of screen time in The Silence of the Lambs, Thor's appearance in God of War is so good he doesn't even need to have a line of dialogue. The entire encounter is played off as Atreus' dream, but is clearly implied to be a prophetic vision. His face isn't even shown - just his hand, hip, and hammer like in the above image. He contributes to the Norse saga's scale in the opposite way that Mimir elucidates - by introducing a sort of ancient and unknowable power to Midgard.Įssentially making a cameo appearance in the 2018 game and again in the God of War Ragnarök trailer, Thor is still one of the more memorable side characters in the game. Jörmungandr's physical presence is clearly domineering, but his mystique similarly enraptures, seeing as Kratos (and likewise the player) can't even understand him. His presence is reminiscent of some of the more breathtaking set pieces from the original God of War games, such as Kratos climbing on Gaia as she scales Mount Olympus. Although Jörmungandr is instrumental in the overarching story and plot of God of War, there's a feeling that he will play an even more important role in Ragnarök. This time paradox introduces one of the more compelling and foreshadowing mysteries that goes unsolved in God of War. ![]() Jörmungandr's role in God of War introduces a time loop paradox, since said conflict with Thor is prophesied to occur during Ragnarök, where Thor hits the World Serpent so hard it splinters Yggdrasil, the World Tree, and sends the Serpent back in time. According to Mimir, the only one who can communicate with the Giant, Jörmungandr appeared suddenly in the Lake of Nine after a legendary conflict with Thor. The massive World Serpent is the last Giant left in Midgard (following the death of Kratos' second wife), and is so large that he encircles the entire realm. Though Jörmungandr is a side character, he also doubles as one of God of War's most striking set-pieces. Her story is already exceptionally tragic, and will likely be a major emotional cornerstone in Ragnarök. Freya's heavy involvement in God of War deepens its examination of family, and helps contribute to the personal narrative the game is celebrated for. Freya already goes through significant character development in the 2018 game, transitioning from someone sympathetic to what Kratos is trying to achieve in raising Atreus, to the bird-woman in God of War Ragnarök attacking Kratos and seeking revenge for the death of her son. The estranged nature of Freya and Baldur's relationship is an eventuality that Kratos fears for himself and Atreus. With Baldur prophesied to die an unnecessary death, Freya cast a spell to save him from all harm, inadvertently robbing him of all physical sensations. Kratos desperately wants to protect Atreus from the violent pitfalls of being a god, and Freya exemplifies the most drastic outcome of such worries. ![]() Throughout the entirety of the game, Kratos grapples with his son's godhood, and likely sees a potential future for himself when examining Freya's relationship with her own son, Baldur. Regardless of their input, each left a considerable mark on the deeply personal and familial tale told in 2018's God of War, and collectively add to the anticipation for its dearly awaited sequel.įreya's character arc in God of War is so impactful because of its proximity to that of Kratos. Some of God of War's best side characters played major roles, while others remained on the fringes of the narrative. Whether it was by design or simply a coincidence in writing, Kratos managed to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. God of War's best side characters are uniformly those expected to reappear in Ragnarök. Related: All God of War Games Playable on PS5 In 2022 (& When) With the onset of Rangarök, an event prophesied to bring about the death of the Norse gods, that may not actually be a possibility. Many will probably die at the hands of Kratos and Atreus, but seeing as the aging god of war is trying to turn a new leaf, there may be a happier ending in store for some in comparison to that of Zeus and company. Every character is expected to have their respective arc wrapped up in GoW Ragnarök, which concludes the series' Norse story. |
