@_GOD ENEL_@


Who's your favorite anime character? I Like the anime character named "ENEL". Enel is an antagonist in the anime series "one piece". He is really strong!

Who is really ENEL? Enel (Often romanized as Ener or Eneru) is a villain from the fictional One Piece manga and anime series.His name could very well be a nod to ancient Mesopotamian Gods, such as En-lil. Some believe that his name is a pun on the word "energy" and therefore translate it as "Eneru" or "Ener", or "Enel", as it appears in the video games, mainly due to the fickleness of translating Katakana. Enel is also the name of the utility responsible for generation of electrical power in Italy (although this might not be intentional). In the English Dub, his name was translated as Eneru. Also, his powers and the drums attached to his back match those of the storm god of Japan, Rajiin, so the idea of this character might originate from this god. Additionally, one of his poses (reclining on his side) and his elongated earlobes are reminiscent of statues of Buddha. His golden staff and a floating thunder cloud he sometimes sits on could be nods to Sun wokung (Son Goku), the Monkey King/God from Journey to the West.
Oda confirmed that if Enel were actually a wanted pirate, he would have a bounty of no less than 500,000,000 Beli, which would be larger than any of the known bounties of the shichibukai.
In a recent Japanese Fan Poll, Enel is currently ranked the 22nd most popular character, making him the most popular One Piece "Major Villain"

What are his abilities and powers? Enel thinks of himself as an invincible god - quite literally. He believes that he is a divine and immortal being, with the authority to do, take or destroy whatever he pleases. As the result, he appears fearless, childish, and without a care in the world. His lifestyle is relaxed and hedonistic, and when not attending to his godly duties of smiting the natives of Skypeia, he spends his time sleeping or eating in his residence, being waited on hand and foot by beautiful women. This attitude carries over to his battles, where he's hardly serious and barely annoyed - instead he's relaxed, and enjoys himself by effortlessly absorbing attacks, and humiliating his opponents. In his fight against Kamakiri, he even went to sleep in the middle of the fight, in order to prove his immortality.
Enel holds no regard for other's lives except his own, and has no moral qualms about killing thousands- instead he sees it as his godly duty, and laughs as he sends Skypeia to its doom. He is in short completely insane, which was more or less undeniable when he sets off for the moon, which he believes to be the home of God (himself). Before Luffy showed up, his fruit power and mantra ability made his God complex completely legitimate. Once Luffy began gaining the upper hand in the battle he incapacitated him, in order to remove him as a threat, and reclaim his status as "invincible" - and from this point acts somewhat cowardly, trying his best to avoid another confrontation with Luffy. According to Oda, Enel's favourite fruit is apples. Going along with this, when Enel taunts in One Piece Grand Battle! Rush (The Japanese version of One Piece Grand Battle, and One PIece Grand Adventure, he eats an apple.
Enel appears to posses a vast knowledge of mechanics and technology, as well. He personally designed his flying ark, Maxim, and knows its inner workings inside and out; if any damage is done to the inside, he is able to repair it (assuming it's repairable). He was even able to design a stormcloud production system (known as Deathpiea), an electrical power system, and a Jet Dial failsafe for the ark, in the event that the main engines are damaged.
Many of One Piece's primary villains were given distinct laughs. Enel follows this tradition with a stressed "ya" at the beginning of his laugh (i.e. "Yaaa ha ha ha ha ha!"). This carries over to the English dub.

He gets his power from the Goro Goro no Mi (Rumble Rumble Fruit, "Goro" being a Japanese sound effect for thunder). It lets him use a variety of electric and lightning based attacks, which are nearly all named after thunder gods from various cultures. When amplified by his ship (the Maxim), they were shown to be able to easily destroy an island. It also gives him the ability to restart his heart after being killed. His current mini arc suggests he does not need to breathe, and can survive outside of the atmosphere (though the laws of space may not apply in the One Piece universe since the soldier he found isn't wearing a spacesuit and is still alive. However the soldier has recently been revealed to be a robot and that may explain him not needing to breathe).

That is my favorite character! He is really strong...... He is my idol!!!!

FUCK!!!


Is "FUCK" an offensive word? Many consider this word as offensive.. But what is really the meaning of fuck?


The word fuck has different meanings.. Fuck is an English word which, as a verb, literally means to engage in sexual intercourse. The word is generally considered offensive.
It is unclear whether the word has always been considered vulgar, and if not, when it first started to be considered vulgar. Some evidence indicates that in some English-speaking locales it was considered acceptable as late as the 17th century meaning "to strike" or "to penetrate."Other evidence indicates that it may have become vulgar as early as the 16th centiry in England, although neither set of evidence is inherently contradictory to the other, since many words have multiple connotations. The word became increasingly offensive over time because of its usage to describe (often in an extremely angry, hostile or belligerent manner) negative or unpleasant circumstances or people in an intentionally offensive way, such as in the term "motherfucker," one of its more common usages.


Fuck is used not only as a verb (transitive and intransitive), but also as a noun and interjection.The etymology of the word is uncertain.


One reason that the word fuck is so hard to trace etymologically is that it was used far more extensively in common speech than in easily traceable written forms.
There are several urban-legend false etymologies postulating an acronymic origin for the word. None of these acronyms was ever heard before the 1960s, according to the authoritative lexicographical work, The F-Word, and thus are backronyms. In any event, the word fuck has been in use far too long for some of these supposed origins to be possible.
One such legend holds that the word fuck came from Irish law. If a couple were caught committing adultery, they would be punished "For Unlawful Carnal knowledge In the Nude", with "FUCKIN" written on the stocks above them to denote the crime.
Other explanations for fuck as an acronym for adultery offer alternative wordings, such as "Fornication Under Carnal/Cardinal Knowledge," or "Fornication Under [the] Control/Consent/Command of the King." Variations on this theme include, "Fornication Under the Christian King", "False Use of Carnal Knowledge", "Felinious Use of Carnal Knowledge", "Felonious Unlawful Carnal Knowledge", "Full-On Unlawful Carnal Knowledge", "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge", and "Found Under Carnal Knowledge"; and the closely related variant, "Forced Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" — a label supposedly applied to the crime of rape.

In some reports, there are tombstones around English cemeteries that had the word engraved in uppercase lettters. These referred to those who were put to death for crimes against the state and the church. These reports have yet to be corroborated since no such tombstone has been identified. Another story is that it was written in the log book as FUCK when people in the military or navy who had homosexual intercourse were being punished.


In Afrikaans, the slang word fok has been adopted as an Afrikaans equivalent of fuck (and fokkof as "fuck off"), due to the influence of English media and language in South Africa. It is sometimes written vok as in Dutch (where it means breed) but the pronunciation is identical. In the past it was sometimes used to indicate sexual intercourse, but this is not longer the case. In Afrikaans the strong expletive for sexual intercourse has always been and remains naai. Coincidentally, the Afrikaans word neuk, which resembles neuken, a Dutch equivalent of fuck, is used in the context of to strike .


The Shanghainese verb and adjective 发格 fage is derived from the English "fuck" and is used in the exasperated context of things or people "fucking up" or "being difficult." Although fage is often used pejoratively, the term has lost its sexual connotations. In Cantonese, the slang word diu is used in a similar way as the English word "fuck." Similar terms in Mandarin are cào gàn, and gǎo, the latter used more commonly in Taiwan


In French, the word for seal (the animal) is phoque; the word for foresail is foc. Their pronunciation in French resembles that of the word fuck in English. In France French, phoque or foc sounds like the British pronunciation of fuck while in Quebec French, it sounds like the North American pronunciation, due to areal influences (although this actually is coincidental, and has no relation to the English word). As well, the English term has been adopted as the adjective fucké, a slang term commonly used in Quebec French to describe something that is broken or off-kilter, or someone who is not in their right mind. It is not considered particularly offensive.
The Quebec French word tabernacle, meaning the church tabernacle, is often used in the same way as fuck in English, except in sexual-related usage. It is only used as interjection, noun or adverb. Other Quebecois-French swear words (which are pretty much all of clergical origin) such as Christ or Calice are much more versatile.
Note that in Quebec French, English swearwords such as "shit" and "fuck" are considered to be much less vulgar than if used in the same context for an English speaking person.


In Latin, the verb facere translates both as "to make" and "to do". The stem fac– is commonly pronounced as /fak/, and so facit ("he/she/it does") would be pronounced /fakit/. The singular imperative fac (meaning "Make!" or "Do!") is also pronounced /fak/.
The Latin word for "to fuck" is futuere.


In Swedish, the morpheme fack is pronounced almost identically to the English fuck, and means a box or compartment, for example a letterbox for internal mail. As a prefix, the morpheme fack refers to something pertaining to a certain trade or profession, for example in the words facklitteratur (literature pertaining to a certain profession) and fackförening (trade union, colloquially referred to as facket).
Fuck can also be used in colloquial Swedish as an English loan word, with basically the same meanings as in English.


We still have to use this word carefully or else........

Reaction(love is a fallacy)

I had plenty reactions regarding what happened in the story and then characters especially on the narrator. "Love is a fallacy" according to Max Schulman. Love is really a fallacy for me. Love is something that is believed to be truth but sometimes is erroneous. Many of us don’t know that there are times when love, which we think to be truth, is erroneous just like what happened in Max Schulman’s “Love is a Fallacy”.I liked the last pert of the story because the girl, who is Polly, really learned and put in mind what the narrator taught her and she was able to use those information in answering the narrator's questions. Her answers were exactly the same as what the narrator taught her. The narrator really made a mistake. He shouldn’t make the deal with Petey.

The narrator is also very fool and he did not think Logic, the science of thinking and its fallacies will be used by Polly in preventing him to be his wife

Love, sometimes, could be considered as a fallacy depending on a situation a person maybe situated in. For example, if you only loved a girl or a guy because of his or her wealth, even though she is not as pretty as Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba or he is not as handsome as Brad Pitt or Leonardo de Caprio, then love in that situation is proven as a fallacy. Why? It is because you do not love that exact person but his or her wealth, jewelry and other luxurious things. You can also tell that love is a fallacy if you are just forced to love that person. Maybe out of pity because that person loves you so much and he or she is willing to die for you, or maybe because that person threatened you that he or she would commit suicide if you can not accept him or her. See what love can do?

The story was very funny but I realized that it was funny when I ended up the story with a cool question. Why would Polly Espy choose Petey Bellows who is a faddist rather than the man/narattor who is very intelligent, keen and better than Petey. Maybe also because of Love. Maybe, Polly realized that he loves Petey because of who he is. Not like the man who only thinks of himself rather than considering the feeling of his friend.
I was very well informed by the different fallacies. Those made me very curious on studying Law. The man/narrator was indeed an intelligent one. He was just eighteen but he already knew about these things. Things to be used in reasoning out during court trials.I do think LOVE really is a fallacy. Love is the root of all the problems yet love is the solution. Love is really a part of the problem. Divorced parents got married because they LOVED each other, it brought them together. They break up because the husband LOVED another woman. But then, the man realized something, the man still LOVED his wife.

I learned many things in the story. We should never be boastful. We should put our feet on the ground. We should not judge other people. We do not know their abilities. Maybe, they never show it to other people. And last, we should not take things for granted. They maybe useless now but they are going to be very useful in the future.

summary(Love is a fallacy)

The narrator of the story is very bright and was only eighteen. He has a room mate, named Petey. He is a faddist.One afternoon, the narrator found Petey lying on his bed with an expression of such distress on his face. The narrator told Petey not to move because he will call a doctor. But then, Petey mumbled the word raccoon. The narrator asked Petey what he is trying to say . Petey said that he needs a raccoon coat. The narrator asked Petey why he wants a raccoon coat . The said that raccoon coat are not beautiful. But then Petey replied that he will do anything just to have a raccoon coat.
Then, the name Polly came into the mind of the narrator. . The narrator likes this girl named Polly. Polly is Petey's girlfriend. Polly is a girl who is beautiful and very gracious. But Polly is not intelligent.But the narrator puts into his mind that he can teach Polly about the things that Polly doesn’t know. The narrator asked Petey if he and Polly are in a relationship.But Polly said that they are not in a relationship. They only meet sometimes. Then, the narrator got a bag,placed some things in it and told Petey that he will go home.When he came back to the dormitory, the narrator brought a raccoon coat for Petey. Petey was delighted when he saw the coat and asked directly the narrator what could be the payment in exchange for the coat . Then the narrator told Petey that he will have the coat if he can have Petey’s girl, Polly. Petey doesn’t agree with him. But not long after, Petey could not stop his self, he really likes the coat. And so, he agreed with the narrator and they made a deal.Then, the narrator immediately asked Polly for a date out. First, he took Polly to eat dinner. After eating, Polly said, “Gee, that was a delish dinner,". Then he took her to a movie. "Gee, that was a marvy movie," she said as they left the theater. And then he took her home. "Gee, I had a sensaysh time," she said as she bade the narrator goodnight.He felt bad and decided to give Polly back to Petey but then he decided to try and teach Polly. He wants to teach Polly how to think.
In their next date, he took Polly to the Knoll and Talk. "Oo, terrif," said Polly after hearing that they’re going over to the Knoll and Talk. Polly asked what they will talk about and then he said that they will talk about logic."Logic," he said, clearing his throat, "is the science of thinking. Before we can think correctly, we must first learn to recognize the common fallacies of logic. These we will take up tonight."He taught Polly about fallacies and cited some examples but at first, Polly was confused and did not understand but in the last kind of fallacy, she was able to think and answer correctly. This fallacy was about “Poisoning the Well”.After that night, the narrator decided to ask Polly’s decision to go steady with him. But in every thing he said, Polly was able to answer him a fallacy that he taught her and he was really impressed. But Polly said that she will not go steady with him. She told him that she will go steady with Petey. Then the narrator compares his self to Petey. He said that he is brilliant and Petey is not but Polly told him that he is poisoning the well. The narrator then asked why she chooses Petey and she said that "He's got a racoon coat."

Songs to Remember

One of my hobbies is listening music. I really love R&B songs and love songs. Those kind of songs are really nice. Before I sleep, I usually listen to mellow love songs. Listening to mellow music before sleeping makes your sleep very tight. It soothes my feeling.

What are my favorite songs? My favorite love songs include Till The End OF The Road by Boyz II Men, All Cried Out by Allure and 112,Never Gonna Let You Go by Faith Evans, Till You Do Me Right by After 7, Crazy Over You by 112, and many more. But I find this song very important to me. It reminds me of a very special friend. The title of the song is BABY BOY and is performed by Big Brovaz. It goes like this:


From the day that I saw youI knew that we would pursue
Cause the chemistry we felt that day Felt so real, and so true
Looking back on a year we spent together
How it’s been, whatwe went through
Although we’ve had ourlittle ups and downs
We’ve still pulled through
Baby girl you’re myworld my everything
I wanna lace you withdiamonds and every ring
Give you everything youdream and fantasize
Cause you can tell methat you love meLooking in my eyes
You keep it real with me,
I keep it real with you
You keep on loving me,I
’ll keep on loving youKeep doing what you do,
I feel your whole auraAnd I can’t wait to hook upagain tomorrow baby - what
chorus:
My love for you will never end
You’ll always be a part of me
As long as time keepson passing by
You’ll always be my baby boy.
Everytime I look at you,I can’t believeI’ve found a love so true
(and)I took my time to putmy trust in you
I must admit it was so hard to do
And every minute that Ispend with you
You make me believe Ihave nothing to loose and
Deep down I always knew
that you would be mine
Do you believe in destiny
Because I got a funny feelingthis was meant to be
Without you I’d be lost,I need you next to me
Preferably in the house fullof luxuries and little kids
From day one I was sprung,knew you was gonna be one
Cause my heart spoke for thevery first time in a long while
And every time you smile,
I can see us walking up the aisle with youcarrying my child C’mon
chorus:
My love for you will never end
You;ll always be a part of me
As long as time keepson passing by
You’ll always be my baby boy
If you were to go, I don’t know
You’re the only one whosweeps me off my feet
Makes my soul go weak
The only one who makesmy heart wanna beat and I
,I could never live without you
You know that what I feelhas to be true
Cause you’re my, my sweet love
Ever since the first time,that I looked into your eyesI knew that you weregonna be mine
Feeling you from the inside,when you’re not by my side
You’re the only girl that’s on my mind
I never knew a love like this, a love so strong
A vision so picture perfect it could never be wrong
Along the way, you’re gonnasee you belong with Jay
I might have to marry you one day baby eh..
(chorus / Outro)

Here is another song I love so much. Every time I hear this song, I remember my mother. The title of the song is “A song for Mama” by Boyz II men. And here is the lyrics:


You taught me everything,
And everything you've given me,
I'll always keep it inside.
You're the driving force in my life, yeah.
There isn't anything or anyone that I can be,
And it just wouldn't feel right,
If I didn't have you by my side.
You were there for me to love and care for me,When skies were grey.
Whenever I was down,You were always there to comfort me.
And no one else can be what you have been to me,You'll always be,
You will always be the girl in my life for all times.
CHORUS:
Mama, Mama you know I love you,(Oh, you know I love you),
Mama, Mama you're the queen of my heart.
Your love is like tears from the stars.
Mama, I just want you to know,
Lovin' you is like food to my soul.
You're always down for me,
Have always been around for me,Even when I was bad.
You showed me right from my wrong,(Yes you did).
And you took up for me,When everyone was downin' me,You always did understand,
You gave me strength to go on.
There was so many times,
Looking back when I was so afraid.
And then you come to me and say to me,I can face anything
.And no one else can do,What you have done for me.
You'll always be,
You will always be the girl in my life.
Mama, Mama you know I love you,(Oh, you know I love you),
Mama, Mama you're the queen of my heart.
Your love is like tears from the stars.
Mama, I just want you to know,
Lovin' you is like food to my soul

Never gonna go a day without you.
Fills me up just thinking about you.
I'll never go a day without my Mama.
REPEAT CHORUS.


And those are the songs that I like most. It reminds me of very special persons.
Those are the songs I treasure most.

_STIGMATA_

Have you watch the movie “Passion of Christ” The movie Passion of Christ really shows how Jesus Christ suffered in a brutal way just to save us. In the movie, did you see the wounds? Have you ever wonder how painful those wounds are? Every time I see those wounds, I remember the word STIGMATA.

Have you encountered the word Stigmata? When you hear such word, what comes into your brain? Some may think that stigmata is a part of plant but definitely it’s not. Maybe they are referring to the stigma. Stigma and stigmata are not the same.


What is a stigmata?Stigmata are bodily marks, sores, or sensations of pain in locations corresponding to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus. The term originates from the line at the end of Saint Paul’s's Letter of the Galatians where he says, "I bear on my body the marks of Jesus", with "marks" in the Latin Vulgate rendered as "stigmata". An individual bearing stigmata is referred to as a stigmatic.The causes of stigmata are the subject of considerable debate. Some contend that they are miraculous, while others argue they are hoaxes or can be explained medically.Stigmata are primarily associated with the Roman Catholic faith. Many reported stigmatics are members of Catholic religious orders. The majority of reported stigmatics are female


Reported cases of stigmata take various forms. Many show some or all of the five Holy Wounds that were, according to the Bible, inflicted on Jesus during his crucifixion: wounds in the hands and feet, from nails, and in the side, from a lance. Some stigmatics display wounds to the forehead similar to those caused by the crown of thorns. Other reported forms include tears of blood or sweating blood, wounds to the back as from scourging, or wounds to the shoulder as from bearing the cross.


Some believe that the condition can be explained by 'frontier science' such as with the unexplained phenomena of the mind exerting physical effects on the bodyThere have been claims that non-religious people under deep hypnosis, when told that they had a crown of thorns on their heads cutting into their flesh (in the manner similar to Christ), have had bleeding welts appear on their foreheads even when nothing had come into contact with the skin. Thus if this is true, the effects have been inflicted by the mind onto the body. Other accounts of this strong mind-body connection have been observed and documented in experiments such as the case in which heart disease patients were administered a placebo pill, but told that it was a new 'super-medicine', and their conditions noticeably improved. It is thought by some that the deep trance-like state which deeply religious people claim to go into mimics this type of hypnosis, and the extremely strong and vivid impressions of the wounds and suffering are somehow transmitted from the mind to the bodyThis also fits with the fact that stigmata was first observed at around the time when graphic detail of the crucifixion started to appear in Christian art, making the
wounds and suffering easier to comprehend and imagine in the minds of observers of the art.
