Girl Scorpios Review of Final Fantasy 12.

The breathtaking RPG that graced us many years realeases its 12th game of the FF series and possibly the last for ps2. Well I know its a bit late to post this but for those of you who has been a loyal follower of the series the game is based on FFX1 concept as far as some of the battle tecniques.

One of the many beautiful cities in FF12.

I recieved my game via pre-order and bought the special edition on Halloween. So far im about 15hrs of gameplay into it (no not in one day) just sporadically playing it as I go. Like many of the FF series a new story along with a new characters in a beautiful world both futuristic and old world at the same time. This time the story takes place after a war, and characters such as Vaan, Fran, Bash, and Ashe cross paths. Like any story and war everyone's lives are connected in one way or another and their lives are greatly effected and this is where their story begins. The whole game focuses on this world after a great war basically.

The fighting isnt the normal turn base many are use to in the FF series, you could control one character and the other characters you basically program the actions you want them to take depending on the situation. For example you have Fran heal on que when a characters health falls below 50% through gambits which allows you to program actions basically. I found myself programming almost in every different area im in depending on the mobs i encounter even in mid fight. Everyone can essentially learn to be a healer, fighter, crowd controller, debuffer, mage etc and there isnt any limitations down to even wearing the armor or weapons. One thing I like is that once you buy one spell or technique everyone can use it once they have enough points to activate it. Thats another thing its through this grid for all the spells, techniques, armor, weapon things. You would just have to see it to understand that lol.

So what do I think of it so far? Its great, and surprisingly easy for the most part. With one exception, because the battle isnt turn base and you can choose to fight wat you want, there are moments where if you fight one monster alot may aggro and that gets difficult that at times you might have to run away, so basically its like online which is interesting. My favorite part of it is the chains, the more you kill within a time the more exp you gain in chain killing and at times these chains will drop things from healing one person to even healing the whole party.

Well, so far things have slowed down finally. Ive been watching alot of movies lately and I think maybe get back into doing some art, maybe. And I noticed im starting to actually act more girly, you know like wear make up more, skirts more, look at girly shoes.....woah yeah weird to the friends who know how tomboyish iam. For now tho im gettin a bit addicted to Kingdom Hearts II you all should at least heard of it. Even put a video to the intro of it down here on video section. Its an ausome video, I chose to put the japanese version of it because it sounds cool the singer, Utada Hikaru, did the english version for it as well. For those of you unfamiliar with Kingdom Hearts II its about a young boy who is in this universe of some sort where Disney and Square Enix characters from Final Fantasy series live. Each world is a place we all recognize from the Disney or Game. Sora, the main character, is basically the key bearer and the 7 princesses (Alice, Belle, Aurora, Jasmine, Snow White, Cinderella, and Kairi) who held the keys within their hearts untouched by darkness as it says in the book. Villains seek to destroy world after world to kidnapp them.

Anyhow! soo lets see its July, I know I havent went down to see my family and I would like to soon...just I dont know been a bit distant lately in my own little world sort to speak. I miss them, but same time not yet ready to see them at times. Last I saw them was when I went down for my cousin's wedding. Anyhow DAMMIT I WANT PS3 SOON...im such a dork...im missing the San Diego Comic Con too !!! my bro usually there with his artwork and comic book stuff or watever so im sure Sean will be there with him too. I havent picked up Teen Titans lately tho since Sean has been doing those but for anyone curious as to wat the hell im talkin about go to this link: http://cheeks-74.deviantart.com/ I tell ya hes going to be famous soon -_-

Everything that had happen to me before....will stay with me for the rest of my life. Iam the type of person who fears of getting hurt. And feel at times that no matter where I go it finds me. Everytime i have to push myself forward and hope for the best. Finally after months of searching i recently got a job...something for me to do to keep busy. And staying busy is what keeps me grounded and from goin crazy from every day life mishaps.

There are times in your life u do things u think are right....and end up getting hurt or blamed anyways. You do what u can and hope for the best they say. How do you get up after all this...i guess try to have a little faith. And it helps to have someone too.

For awhile now, I spent alot of my time trying not to think of what had happen the past year... just when i was feeling better and little happier with myself something always happens then...i hope more good happens soon.

I'am a person who cant sleep if something is wrong, iam a person who even at the slightest moment of feeling that i did anything wrong my conscience would haunt me, axiety would overcome me and i end up crying because i have no controll of a situation. Ive begun to give up at times my patience has grown thin more and more...

Lately i laugh a bit, smile a bit, my heart doesnt feel heavy...i have those ups and downs but i look forward for more days to feel contempt again...

Well..Ive been keeping myself busy -_- oh and addicted to the show 24. Evil stuff...>.< other then that idk, living day by day. Its a good show for anyone who likes suspense, drama, and action. I dont know if im able to withstand that type of pressure they go through. Altho at times i work well under pressure and it shows how time consuming it all is. If I were to work in a place like that time would fly by..still the idea of working for a cause is great. Its why i will be persueing nursing.

Down below is a new video I put by sweetbox called "For the Lonely" such a sad song...yes im a sap for stuff like that...T_T

From Loving You: by Mandy Moore -- this here is a great song. For everyone who has felt heartbroken out there.

On another note been taking one day at a time, back to a point where im forgetting things staring just blank out into space. Okay so yes i know for all my friends out there i do that alot, contemplating and or just thinkin is a bad habit when i just do it. =/ Playing games at times remind me of things i dont want to remember from previous games and eh even i cant always get away into the world of pushing buttons. On that note looking to play this cool lookin game if it comes out in beta before release. www.playrohan.com

There is also a movie out called "The Lake House" surprisingly enough I never knew about it till i saw the ad somewhere on the internet. >.< Its with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves surprisingly. The storyline is intersting it says something about people meeting by letter but its two years apart on the same day. http://thelakehousemovie.warnerbros.com/?campaign=thelakehouse;amp&advertising=msn

The story of my life, past and present...

by gen

I sit here silently, as the clock continues to tick. Time passing slowly and all together wasting. I think about things I dont want to think about, whether big or small. I think how much I know and have no defined clear thought of it at all. It is but a feeling only. Feelings I want to repress, to protect myself and my sense of pride. I want something to happen, instead I continue to wait, waiting patiently as the clock ticks and timepasses me by...so I sit here melodically playing slow jams to ease my pain but in the back of my head its only making it worst, then I get to a point where I want to turn off all the lights and break down and cry...

"If Only" by gen

If only I were given a chance to live like the "Butterfly Affect" would I still...

Give up the moments I had, to be where Iam now.

Give up the very thing I love most. The sorrows, the pain, the experiences that made me who Iam now.

To sacrifice my being. Would I, if only. Give up the past to make things right?

They say things happen for a reason, no one mention the rough roads that would be taken. Would I dare look back?

What if you were given that chance...

The 5 of US!!!!!
Current mood: nostalgic

hey ya'll just in case u didn't kno the 5 of us are Christy, Val, Gen, Rachel and me and i love my girls so in homage of them i am posting our song cause gen didn't even know it cause we are bad friends lol so here are the lyrics and each part that we have

Rachel: Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bunk alone with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's til the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
I can't resist the day
No, I can't resist the day

GENNY!!! screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke
I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
And she's so pretty, and she's so sure
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
The summer's all in bloom
The summer is ending soon

It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses

Val: Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love and we all got hurt
I sneak into his car's black leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat
Boy, we're going way too fast
It's all too sweet to last

Christy: It's alright
And I put myself in his hands
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses
Love, or something ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades in white houses

My first time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think
He's my first mistake

Mike: Maybe you were all faster than me
We gave each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I've been
So I go, and I will not be back here again
I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses
I lie, put my injuries all in the dust
In my heart is the five of us
In white houses

And you, maybe you'll remember me
What I gave is yours to keep
In white houses
In white houses
In white houses

Love you guys u are always ther for me and we are always there for

each other *MUAH lol

This was taken from a friend's website, just been missing them lately...
