Waching daily Sep 29 2018

Ever since gaining the Framemeister,

I've been playing the Mega Drive on my TV a lot more

and it really gives it a super clear image with its integer scaling.

Adding scanlines and other retro looks,

nostalgia started to hit me pretty hard and I began to reminisce my childhood.

It was then when I remembered the good ol' days of the Master System.

I never owned one but an old friend of mine did as well as my cousin.

I recall hours and hours of playing Sonic and other titles on their consoles.

In fact, they're the reason why I got into the blue blur.

Feeling a bit emotional, I took a quick gander on eBay

to see how much the vintage machine was going for these days.

£30 plus isn't bad.

Or £50 for a modded version so it would run in 60Hz,

seeming as I'm in the PAL region.

I took the plunge and bought it, as well as other miscellaneous games separately for a decent price.

I obviously had to get as many Sonic games as I could for this console,

as long as they didn't cost an arm and a leg!

Ha, yeah, like I have that in my back pocket!

Within a few days of ordering, the games arrived first,

with a week later, the Master System.

Which came with Sonic 2....

Looks like I'll be doing a giveaway in the near future!

But I digress, I plugged it all in and after a lot of technical snaff,

I was recapturing my youth.

And "shock-horror",

I started with Sonic 1 and Sonic 2.

These were the two I have most recollection with, but was it at all as I remembered?

Was it worth the money I paid for?

Well seeming as I have the tools to record real hardware,

despite the jailbars, that's just part of the Master System's charm

irritatingly delivers, you're going to have to ignore that,

let's take a look together starting with Sonic 1 for the Master System, a mini review!

Seeming as this is just a small appraisal,

I'm not going to analyse the progressive lead up on how the game came to be,

but I do want to get one little thing off my chest.

Sonic 1 for the Master System did NOT see a release before its superior on the Mega Drive (or Genesis).

The 16-bit variant was first into the wild on the 23rd of June 1991,

with our 8-bit friend not appearing until the 25th of October in the same year.

And before you jump out and ask, the Game Gear handheld equivalent was even later in mid-December,

but we don't care about that with its screen crunch and uglier sprites

(gracious, they're awful).

However, we can all agree that this is Sonic's first main starting point

for this generation of consoles and 'they' did a great job.

They, as in the developers of this game, Ancient Corp.

You see, back in those days,

Sonic Team had their heads screwed on and knew they couldn't split their team to work on separate projects.

So, they got another company to work on the Master System port.

And there was me saying I wasn't going to examine the back story.

Let's crack on and actually talk about this magnificent game.

Yeah, it pales in comparison to the Mega Drive counterpart,

but the speed and excitement still exists within.

I mean, the very first act of the very first level,

you can break the boundary of the camera like nobody's business.

Quite often I went a tad too fast, even making the game skip a cut scene.

And woah, I'm diving into this retrospective too fast;

let's take a chill pill and start from the beginning.

The controls are pretty simple.

Have a wild guess what the D-Pad does.

And both 1 and 2 makes Sonic jump.

While running, tapping 'down' on the control pad will force Sonic into a roll

or while static, you can see what's below you

or even up above by holding the 'up' button instead.

Thus, in essence, the exact same controls as the 16-bit edition.

Not too complicated then with the dynamics being relatively easy to master.

It's just the inconsistent frame rate you have to fight against way too much

and that's when you may start to struggle because this game is full to the brim of sluggishness.

And avoiding obstacles and traps becomes harder than it actually should be.

Even without the game dragging, a new mechanic I could not get to grips with

is your incompetence to collect fallen rings or shall I say, ring.

I know with Sonic games it truly doesn't matter how many rings you currently hold

but every little helps when it came to recollecting your scattered rings

but in this lesser version, you're out of luck

and you have to find fresh rings elsewhere.

At least you get to keep your shield between zones so that's pretty awesome.

Sonic looks spectacular in this game.

He has the right amount of colour to him, he's at the perfect size,

and the hedgehog always stood out no matter what scenario he was in.

No criticism from me here.

As long as you're using an RGB Scart and not the horrible standard RF cable,

the colours to this game really do pop out; especially in Jungle Zone.

A lot of the stages look exquisite and with a fair amount of detail;

I'm quite impressed with the standard they came up with for an 8-bit classic.

There wasn't really any presentation that disappointed me,

bar the title screen when you boot up the game.

I mean really, they couldn't even add a background of some sort?

Talk about an awkward first impression.

Having said that, the emblem here is pretty decent looking with a great beholding palette.

I assume with all the colours that were involved here, a background image wasn't possible, so...

Okay, I retract my complaint.

There are 6 zones to this game each containing 3 acts; the latter being a boss encounter.

Starting each act, you're presented a map to demonstrate how far you've proceeded,

with the name of the level in a tidy little box.

It's a neat addition, although I wish there was more use for it.

Like, imagine pausing the game to re-display the map to see how far you've advanced within the act;

just like you could with Alex the Kidd.

I know, I know, each act being super short,

the map idea is a bit pointless but it would have been cool none-the-less.

I can live with the game freezing on the spot except for certain objects for some bizarre reason.

A lot of assets are borrowed from its bigger brother like the majority of the badniks,

the level name and art design.

Yet there is some originality to this platformer.

We have a good amount of exclusive levels,

some interesting yet annoying level gimmicks with the auto-scroller in Bridge Zone;

God forbid we go fast in a Sonic game!

And the screen boundary lock in Jungle Zone 2 which will be the death of me!

Another splendid trick reserved for the Master System port is the bonus prizes dished out

by the ending sign post.

I still haven't for the love of Jiminy Cricket figured out how this works

but all I know is that a certain ring requirement is needed for a particular gift.

And that 50 rings or more are needed to be sent to the bonus stage;

which is just Sonic bouncing around obtaining an extra life or continue

and also regretting every waking moment of entering the bleedin' place.

But do you know what the real kick in the teeth is?

If you manage to obtain 100 rings or more within the zone,

you're granted an extra life right there and then which is nice and all,

but you do not get sent to the bonus stage when passing the goal post.

You technically need between 50 and 99 rings for that honour.

Theoretically, if you collected 108 rings, the game will say you only have 8!

The bonus stage isn't really essential to anything anyway

therefore it's not a massive deal.

So, what, no Chaos emeralds then?

Oh, there are Chaos Emeralds!

Just like the original Sonic 1, 6 of them exist.

However instead of the means of special stages,

the stones are sprinkled around the island with one Emerald per zone.

You do not need any ring requirements or keys to pick them up;

just simply run into the colourful gem, and be on your merry way.

Some emeralds require a bit of exploring

whereas some of them are just in plain sight and it's impossible to miss.

Oh look, I'll be taking that!

Initially, finding all of these can be perplexing, but when you've done it once,

the game becomes really easy to 100% next time around and forever over.

And here's some good news, if you collect a chaos emerald and you die before finishing the act,

you don't lose the emerald.

No automatic refunding here!

Once it's yours, it's yours.

Still, there's no incentive to get all the emeralds really.

An extra few seconds are taxed onto the ending cut scene

with the emeralds removes the darkness casted by the evil genius,

but that's about it.

Let's talk about that moustached villain for a moment, shall we?

…Wow, that was easy.

Surely, I'm going to breeze through this ga...

Ah, nuts.

Oh, come on!

What, really?!

The bosses bar the very first conflict can be quite challenging.

The main reason being is the absence of rings.

Make a small mistake and that will cost you a life.

It may take a few lives to figure out the pattern of these clashes but after that,

the bosses become easy to defeat,

except for the Jungle boss because the exploding rolling bombs seems to be totally random when they explode!

Blimey, Jungle Zone is probably the hardest level of the lot with its boss

and its huge-gapped platforms

and its rising screen of death.

It's just lucky that the stage looks sophisticated

and plays cheerful music to keep up my spirits.

The majority of the melodies are enjoyable to my ears

and I find myself actually going to have a quick listen to the soundtrack on YouTube

if I'm ever in the mood.

Sonic 1 for the Master System contains some interesting compositions

with Sky Base being my favourite.

To me, it sounds like it could have been an invincibility theme for Eggman;

especially as the zone itself contains no rings.

I have to say, for Sonic's first entrance to the third generation of video game consoles,

they did a remarkable job and had all their priorities in the right places.

With the visuals, the tunes and the controls all being near-spot-on,

I can forgive the little annoyances such as the slow-downs

and how the scattered ring scheme was implemented.

This game could have included more in terms of level design and features,

I mean, there's not even a single loop in this game,

but maybe that's what Sonic 2 was left to pick up?

We'll find out in my next mini review to arrive soon.

But I would most certainly recommend giving Sonic 1 for the Master System a go;

especially for any newcomers to the franchise of the SEGA mascot.

Extraterrestrial Message from Taygeta (Pleiades): Prime Directive (3) - Duration: 34:10.

Prime directive a set of rules of conduct between races in space

Who created it? Why?

What are the rules?

Does the law allow to approach us on earth? What exactly does it state?

Today we will talk about everything related to this primordial law to understand a little more about our stellar

Families and to get closer and closer to understanding our position in life and the universe

Hello sparrow, I'm so happy to be talking to you again

Thank you, I'm happy to be here with you also

Before I would like you to

Maybe first introduce yourself a little bit and just realized we don't know so much about who you are exactly

Everybody here has their own official roles and titles I

Don't really at the moment

You can call me a guide

behind the leader

Okay. Thank you very much. Now, let's talk about the prime directive

Where'd that come from? Who created it?

Prime directive was created as part of the primordial laws and rules

when the Federation was created some

850 to 900

Thousand years ago

Linear earth time. It's a set of rules to avoid or stop a stranger race from

Interfering and fatherly upon another civilization in the lesser estate of development be it

intentionally or by accident

What Federation what is it the Federation is a group or a cooperative

organization of now close to half a million races and

Civilizations. It was created as the result of the needs to cooperate and form an alliance

During the time of the great expansion when countless races including ours were being exterminated

By the Orion Council and its members

mostly reptilian in nature

Orion Council are there Italians? Yes back. Then Orion Council was completely negative

But but now almost 2 million years after it was created the original

Leaders of the Orion Council have evolved into kind positive beings that are our friends an aiding earth

Ascension and liberation I am talking about the supreme reptilians. We all fought draconian

So alpha-draconians are now positive. Yes

not all but most at least in this quadrant of the Milky Way note that

Draconians are one species and alpha-draconians are a different one. Okay, let's put that aside for now

Going back to Prime directive what set of rules have been established

The law of non-interference is one. What are others?

There are others but they are less important now like trading rules migration and stock travel corridors

Hello everyone.

At this point I would like to stress something very important.

The Prime Directive, as a lot of you Star Trek fans know,

appeared in that series.

But it is important to stress something very important here.

The Prime Directive is real.

And it is that which formed the concept of the Prime Directive in the series.

It was not the other way round. It wasn´t.

The Prime Directive exists, it is real,

and it is from where they got the idea for the series.

This is what Swaruu said about this subject.

Now it must be mentioned that the prime directive is already known on earth

But the Cabal has hidden it under the saga on Star Trek

Many very immersed researchers on earth already know it and that the prime directive is very real

The Lord is coming

for example

We from here know that the existence of a prime

Directive in Hollywood is meant to derail the disclosure of a real prime directive

It is important to stress that

The concepts presented by Hollywood comes from the reality and not the other way around

Gene Roddenberry the creator of Star Trek was in a retreat at the end of the 50s where he spoke with a

Pleiadian woman who gave him the base concepts for Star Trek

Later the same Leonarda Nimoy

Who is the actor in the series with the role of Spock?

admitted that some very strange people explained all this to him and told him that the series

Films were implemented to train and control the image of the Federation and of the ETS in the eyes of the public

the allied promoted it because it gives the public a fantasy but similar to the real Federation this

Under the premise that they hide everything in full view for esoteric

Metaphysical and karmic reasons is just how the cabal works

They must say everything to people and they do but they do it with mind control

So that people interpret everything differently, and this is not only about Star Trek

but at all levels of society

The Cabal must tell the people all their plans because that way the Karma

Negative karma is on the people and not on them

Okay, you said they must tell everything to people? Why do they have to do it who obligates them?

the metaphysical laws that they observe which are also related to the laws that other races observe and

That are directly related to the prime directive

But the Allies modify them and twist them for their own purposes

Who sets all this in motion?

metaphysical laws karmic laws, etc

it is very old and it's coming from the other side the spirit world and

It applies to both the real five D matrix and the three D matrix incarnation games

They are both tied to one another the physical laws like the prime directive and the metaphysical laws

The prime directive is based on

metaphysical laws

The agreements we all made from the other side

Agreements about how things should be on this side

I had the honour of being able to read this document,

Swaruu sent it to me translated,

and now I will share with you what this Prime Directive states.

Interesting, isn´t it?

It seems interesting to me.

After reading it, a lot of questions about different parts of this document have ocurred to me,

and now I will share these questions,

about certain sections of this Law,

and Swaruu´s answers.

The chat continues right now.

Have a big problem understanding the point in the directive about non interfering in our matters

When it is clear that the et races have been here before teaching

Sharing giving technology inspiring and some even manipulating our genetics

So how does it fit with the law?

Manipulating genetics happens all the time. So set that apart for now

Sharing technology and teaching is done with tricks to get around that directive

One of those tricks is this one as right now with you as I am giving this information

To someone that is not really of human origin and I am using technology that is native to the planet. I

And we must also admit that the prime directive has not always or not always is observed

So influence and direct contact has taken place

Example of this is Rachelle of Tamil face to face trying to talk sense into President Eisenhower

Okay. Now I have a question about another part of the document please it mentions as

the right of each sentient species to live in accordance with its natural and biological culture evolution is

considered sacred

However from my understanding and from what you told me our

Evolution here is not our normal cultural evolution

We have been imposed this particular rhythm of events. So to speak we have been trapped against our will and

natural evolution

Is that why also some of you feel it is okay for you?

For example to talk to us directly like we are doing now

Because it could be viewed as a kind of interference otherwise, no

You are correct. And that's also one of the most important legal

justifications for our forces to be here to

Helping to correct the problem. The problem is that things are not as simple as they may seem or look

because at one level people are being manipulated by an intellectually superior race in

Inverted commas, that is toying with earth people

but at another deeper level souls are

Incriminating there precisely to have that experience as a test to find their way home. Despite the manipulation

To remember who they are

To beat the manipulators at their own game, etc

yes, I

Understand there are a number of souls here coming for so many different reasons and in some cases

They want to experience the squeezed experience

Also it ties in with what we were talking about earlier on a deep metaphysical level. It's the consciousness own creation

To what degree are things in life including matrix?

Imposed and to what degree are they self imposed?

And even the experience of being imposed could be self imposed. It's very complex

Yes, very complex. I believe that it was imposed at first

But then the star seat came in and are now altering the matrix from the inside

So that part is self-imposed

Especially because some star seats go in there to undermine and change the system from the inside

But others only go in for the personal experience

So don't expect those to wake up anytime soon, by the way, and as they love the experience

Yes. This point is quite hard to understand,

and later make correct decisions, I am speaking for them.

Because from one perspective....

the Matrix is imposed, it is something forced, we are being manipulated to believe certain things,

so in this sense, the Matrix is imposed.

We are under the control of this artificial Matrix.

And by the way, we are going to talk about this very, very soon.

About Matrix 3D and the Reptilian Matrix inside 3D.

So from one side it is something imposed, but from another side, from the level of greater consciousness,

from the still more elevated level, where the creating consciousness manifests all the reality,

and we will talk about it too, a lot of things to talk about,

from that level we can say that everything that we are living is because of our own will.

It could be that the consciousness self-programmed certain experiences,

including the experiences that seem negative and imposed by other beings.

That is why they, being in 5D, with their vision of all this more expanded,

of all the metaphysical laws that are behind the whole reality,

from there they can see that it is not always so easy to decide when, for example, they can interfere and when not.

For us here it all seems black and white, negative, positive. We are divided very much in this dualistic manner.

But from there they have a greater vision and perspective of all.

And even the experiences that seem to us as being imposed and negative,

are desired experiences for them and for a lot of races.

So it is very, very difficult for them to make the decisions about to which degree they can interfere and help,

and at which point they would be interfering with the decision of the more elevated consciousness that wants to generate that experience.

So it needs to be recognized that they are in a difficult situation,

they are always judged, but yes, we need to have a little bit of understanding for the situation.

The Matrix game is a game, but on the other level there is another game. There are games within games.

Our Matrix is inside another Matrix. They admit it too. Swaruu told me that 5D is another layer of the Matrix.

Although it is closer to the Source, it is still a form of the Matrix,

and we will talk about it too.

So the situation is very complex.

And we need to understand why they don´t always seem to interfere in the way we would desire them to from our level of the game.

And now we continue with more. Because there is still more.

Okay, so how come sometimes these rules of non-interference have been broken

The prime directive for us and other races is a set of rules. That guides us is a

philosophy and not an unbreakable law

It is flexible and you can skip the given law and their full responsibility of those who make the contact

We see the prime directive only as a guideline a philosophy not a dogma. It can be broken

Under what circumstances can it be broken?

When the result will bring a greater good for all

But the assessing if it should be broken or not is a very delicate subject

Remember that at what level others it is justified to intervene in favor of the people who are suffering clearly

but at a deeper

Metaphysical level if we intervene. We will be going against the more expanded desires of the same people. I

See have you broken it before with regards to our race you as target and play aliens

We've broken it too many times to even count and have you been judged for that by whoever is in charge of the law

The organism in charge of overseeing this law is the Federation at its headquarters

Same way the Orion Council is also doing the same at the zero level from their headquarters

They abide by the same law or their own

That's right it's observed by both sides

Okay, the document also states it is not permitted to make contact with or interfere with lesser race

Unless they are threatened by an outside source

Now we have the outside threat the reptiles, right?

That's correct

So why can't we be interfered with even more? I mean in a more direct way?

Helping to erase the matrix more directly down here. Just asking

We do interfere and a lot and every day even now here with you this is some sort of interference

Also, there are ships out there actively patrolling your skies the problem here

Is that the people don't see them and even a while in strength here? We cannot solve it all

However, the matrix is coming down very fast

Things must be done step by step for a reason cause biologically speaking

it's crashing down at an outrageous speed but I

Understand that from below things may look different and slow

Things must come to pass first. You may be ready for an ascension even overdue, but others aren't

Yes, I do feel that a lot of events happen behind our back like prohibiting the mass murders in

2012 from taking place and

World war 3 like half a dozen times since then

We do interfere with the massacres too as much as we can and all over the place

Many events almost took place and others their degree wasn't mitigated

We've shot missiles down from the sky countless times. They never reached their targets

What were the missiles targeting?

Different targets populated areas to start worse

The most recent one was stopping a missile in flight

Heading toward Hawaii just last month. It was supposed to start a war with North Korea

Who was it sent by?

By a u.s. Submarine under the reptilian cabal control

but the fact is that we cannot make the bulk of the humans on earth think we do at all or

We will be seen as saviors again

This fight must be won by the people of the earth and there are esoteric problems here at play as well

because there are collectives or groups of people who incarnate together and

Exit together and it is their game to experience something seen as negative

So we cannot interfere many times

The problem is understanding and assessing when we can and when we must not

Interfere it is never an easy task sometimes

Yes, it's quite clear. But others it's a big debate and many times

We do have a timing pressure against us. So we do have to take split-second decisions

Mainly the fighter crews have to like you decide to destroy the missile or not

Okay, and thank you then for all you do

I

guess it's just that most people here are not aware of it all and they go through a lot of suffering on different levels and

They would like to see you're more open involvement. There is a lot of cruelty here and pain

Most of the people suffering there are not real they are a program to instigate an emotional response

upon the real people

Wow, that's a strong statement. I so want to go into the subject of non real people sometime soon

real people do suffer

But they go in there with a script and that is controlled by them before going in there and it states clear limits to suffering

Each one designed there are scripts carefully and for personal reasons

and it's fixed unless you decide to go out of automatic life modes as most are in and

Take control over everything you want to experience. They're

jumping script to manual mode

Why would they want to experience something cruel and horrific? Why would any soul want to experience that?

Because from the other side you do see things differently and it also depends on the point of view of the races incarnated it

May be horrible experience for you or for us from our point of view

But just a wanted experience from the point of view of others. It's hard to accept but it's the truth

some Souls do come in with a plan of this sort and

Actually, we are against these plans because it helps to perpetuate the problem and a lot they also damaged others in the way

But this is above us and our jurisdiction but pain is paying though no matter what perspective you are looking from, isn't it?

I am afraid not

It's pain while in 3d. It's an experience from another side a wanted experience

Pain and horrible experience is only a subjective point of view. We agree on

Yes, but you do feel it. The experience is real

Yes, the experience is real because you are real

okay, and the last question or comment regarding the prime directive it also mentions non interfering with a

lesser evolving race

But when the 3d was placed and we will explain that in next chapters. We were not a lesser

We were the descendants of deliriums

So we are not the lesser race the 3d was placed

Artificially so we are not in the natural evolving society. Therefore your so-called interference is justified

right, and that's also why we do interfere because you are an artificially lesser race placed there by

others

Yet from a higher point of view

It is also by choice because from the higher realms everyone agreed on experiencing what they go through right now

They are ultimately no victims here. It is a mind bender

It is and I am beginning to understand more and more the complexity of the situation

Thank you. We will take a pause right now. Thank you so much. Thanks to you and we will talk again soon

These are the most important points of this chapter.

The Prime Directive is real. And it is not taken from Star Trek in any way.

It is totally the opposite. The Prime Directive is a reality.

Second, the interferences are taking place. Becuase people are always saying: they are not helping, what are they doing, etc.

They are doing a lot of things of which we have no idea. They don´t need our credit.

They don´t ask to be recognized for their work at this moment. They are doing this behind our backs.

And in our daily lives, we are not aware of it.

Another important point: the Law is not strict which cannot be broken in certain cases.

It is flexible. It is a guide and philosophy to follow, and it is not a rigid type of law.

Well I hope you liked this video.

In the following videos we will talk more about the Matrix 3D, and Matrix- the Reptilian Hack,

I will explain all about it, and very important, very important,

something everone is asking, how to get out of, and how to reprogram the Matrix.

This is going to be a big subject too. Perhaps I will divide it in various chapters.

Because we need to talk about each step in detail.

But it will be an important subject. Matrix and how to reprogram it.

And to finish, I want to say.. please if you have not done it yet,

subscribe to the channel of my friend Robert from Despejando Enigmas (in Spanish),

because he is in contact with the same Taygetans, and he gives a lot of information in his channel,

the same type of information that I give, both of us in our own style,

but please, subscribe, and this way you can follow both threads at the same time. The information from both channels.

Well I think that is it.

Thank you Swaruu, I need to thank her a lot because she has a lot of patience with me,

I bombard her with a lot of questions,

sometimes I don´t understand things and need to go around it 100 times,

but she has a lot of patience with me, and she is a wonderful being,

with great consciousness and knowledge, but she is also very human, I must say.

She has emotions, she gets tired,

she has questions about things too, the same as me, about the universe,

we chat a lot about the reality, how it works, the purpose behind it,

they over there also ask questions about life, although they know more about it and understand it better,

they are closer to the Source, but they are the extension of ourselves and of our metaphysical questions.

So it is something very interesting to be able to talk to the ET this way about the universe,

where it is going and what it is all about.

And share and interchange the ideas.

So thank you again Swaruu. Thank you very much.

And to all. We move forward together. See you in the next one!

I want to give thanks to Swaruu, Asket, Aneeka, and all the Taygetean team

For dedicating their lives to liberate the human race on earth from the oppressors

Special thanks to MaiAni.

L.E.J en live dans ACOUSTIC | TV5MONDE - Duration: 26:35.

We're discovering LEJ's second album.

- Lucie, Juliette, Élisa. - Hello.

So, second album.

We first heard of you with an album featuring covers only.

It was called En attendant l'album...

- Yes. - Now the second's here.

Was it easy to move on to original songs?

It was a process, actually,

because between En attendant l'album...

and this album, we did a big tour of about 200 dates,

and we kept reworking our songs.

The instrumentals and the production were improving.

So we quickly started to have fun

with what we had on stage,

and to do things here and there.

So it was a process.

Emotionally-wise, though, it was complicated.

Yes. It's quite a big step.

You rearranged a lot of songs.

It wasn't just covers.

We're talking about full reinterpretations.

You really got to the core of the composition reactor.

You rearranged many hits,

songs that were impressive in terms of composition.

Was it useful for your writing?

Totally.

We developed our own style.

We saw how far we could go with the covers,

how to use our voices, what people liked...

It was very instructive to do covers.

Absolutely.

You were well trained. You have known each other for a long time...

Since childhood?

Yes, since kindergarten.

Was it easy to find the right approach for this album?

- Yes. - Because we're three?

Because you're three,

and also because people can know each other well,

and yet have different tastes.

These are original songs.

Precisely,

what's interesting is that we have common roots -

classical training and urban music.

That's our background.

And then we have different, yet complementary influences.

That's what shapes our style.

Thanks to the covers and through the covers

we developed all that...

Sorry. I don't think we really knew where the album was going.

In terms of writing, I would say we only saw the tone of the album

at the end.

That's when it all fit together.

We thought, "OK. This is our identity. We found it".

I mean, for now, even though it's going to change.

But it happened at the end.

We didn't really know. We were doing many things.

There are so many influences. The songs do not resemble each other.

Some songs are more produced, others are more acoustic...

In the end, we just figured,

"This album, well, it's gray". You see what I mean.

And we never wondered what kind of music we were going to make.

We didn't worry about whether the other two would like it.

Really, never.

We don't always agree.

That's the reason why we're so close -

we debate things.

Regarding the music, though, there were no big disagreements,

or thumbs down. It was all very natural.

I feel the common core is the rhythm and polyphony.

That's the backbone.

And the cello.

Polyphony and cello, yes.

We are classically trained, which means we're knowledgeable

in harmony and music theory.

Singing together was instinctive. Even before the band was formed,

the three of us would sing in harmony.

So it was natural.

The cello was a totally different matter

because we had seen little to no bands

with the cello as a base,

except for Vincent Ségal.

But, again, they are very rare.

So our concern was how to integrate the cello, keep the tone

and have fun at the same time

- with the guitar effects, for instance -

while creating our own style.

The album's called Poupées russes.

On your first album, there were three songs in French.

It was mostly songs in English.

This time, it's a French album.

We appreciate it. We're on TV5 Monde,

a French-speaking channel.

You didn't want to do a few songs in English?

It could've been easier.

We considered it. We've covered many songs in English,

which is more musical

and less percussive than French.

And, in the end,

when we were composing the album,

it just didn't happen.

We didn't force ourselves. I think we would like to do it,

but it just hasn't happened yet.

You composed and you were assisted in writing

by Ozarm.

What was the work like?

He's also our manager, so...

- He knows you well. - Yes.

He wasn't a manager. It's a friendship story, like ours.

How did it turn out?

It was...

He is a very fine writer. We love him.

He used to be a slammer.

We textually admire him.

The way he writes... It was clear that we'd be working with him.

And then the subjects... We talked a lot about the subjects.

The topics that the three of us discussed

generated ideas.

The time you've spent together...

But then we truly worked as a team of four.

We'd send him lines.

It was definitely teamwork.

There's a nice comment in the booklet.

A whole page's dedicated to him.

He didn't know about it.

We get the feeling he's the fourth member of the band.

You mention the moments of doubt.

He was there

to give you a little boost when the blues hit.

- He's our pillar. - Yes.

There's a sentence in the booklet

that is very true and very meaningful.

It's...

You wrote it, Ju.

We're like sails - if we rip apart, we sew each other back together.

We've years of practice. But if he breaks,

we'll have nothing to hold on to.

We sail around him...

He is the anchor.

He's 10 years older than us,

he's been in the business for a long time.

We trust him.

We share the same perspective on things.

He's someone we can trust unquestioningly.

In this industry, it's important to have trusted guides.

How did you like the studio sessions?

Was it like... Oh.

Yeah, well...

The stage is more our thing because we're together.

It's livelier

and our music becomes meaningful.

We didn't record together during the studio sessions,

so the magic of playing together was somehow lost.

Lucie's making faces...

I love the studio, the atmosphere... It's super cool.

We love the studio.

However, she's right...

We're not together.

Also, it brings out our very strict, academic side.

As soon as it's a little off key, or not perfect enough...

Does that come from your conservatory years?

Yeah, and it becomes aseptic.

The emotions are somehow left aside.

Whereas when we're live, we don't look at each other.

We let go completely.

There's life to it.

Maybe someday... That's the way I think, at any rate.

I don't like the studio either. It fixes music permanently.

Instinct is lost in favor of reason.

I may be rational, but it's too much in the studio.

Élisa is a studio tyrant.

I get hot flashes, I sweat,

she goes, "Too low, too high, let's do it again".

It's tough.

Total hell...

I'm the mobster. I stare at them

and go, "That one's in".

So no more studio for a couple of years.

- Wrong. - We're working on another album.

OK. That's great. Right now you're on tour.

You'll be at Salle Pleyel on October 26, in Paris.

LEJ's album is called Poupées Russes.

محمد صلاح.. الفاشل Mo Salah.. The Loser (ENGLISH SUBTITLED) #يوميات_طالب_إعلام - Duration: 5:46.

Some questions can be easily answered

Those which are based on scientific facts

Rules.. Basics and so on.

But some of the abstracts concepts like failure and success.. how can they be defined? What's failure by the way?

The Intro describes the obstacles we have faced in making this show.

let's talk about a person whose life has no failure at all.

He was born in a very good Circumstances.. in a wealthy family.. with a lovely mom and dad.. he went to the best school.. very well educated.

Non on his friends annoys him.. his teachers discovered his talent when he was just 5.

they found he is very talented in football.. they focused on that.. he was accepted in a football club as he is very skillful

After few months.. a bigger club watched him playing.. and they decided to adopt him.. then after that he started playing in Barcelona and he won all the championships with the team.

Then.. he retired.. this is the whole story.. and he was asked to give a TED speech about his story.. what do you think he is going to say?

but let us assume that he was born in a very poor house.. the elder brother for 7.. educated in a very simple public school.. he was a football lover.

Many days he walked with torn shoes and many days he played barefooted

other days he went to schools with a torn t-shirt.. he had no money to buy a new one.. despite all of these.. he was happy by football

He went to many clubs.. he was refused.. he searched for any positioned person to help him.. but he didn't find.. his parents didn't know any of that.

Until one day he was discovered by an agent and he helped him to join a club in Cairo the capital after he was playing in a small village.

he used to talk the road every day from the village to Cairo in long hours to play in this club.

he was injured many times.. and he asked himself why i am doing all of that?

and he said many times "I'll give up" but he decided to complete and finally he has achieved his goals.

and he stood in the same place telling people about his own story.

let me tell you a short note before completing

this is not a life coaching episode and not a motivational speaking style.

we are just trying to analyse the concept of failure in our life

by analyzing some of situations we face every day but we don't pay attention to.

it's very clear that people will choose to listen to the second story.

and each one of us will choose to be the person in the second story if we removed the pain from it.

The second story which says i have passed all these obstacles and now i am here telling you my story.. then people cheers.

that's all because of failure

so, we can conclude that failure is something important

but why?

it's important as it's your license to pass from a stage to another.

a certificate that says i have passed all these missions and now i am here telling you what happened there.

failure in your life is like the silkworm surrounded by a cocoon to become a butterfly

and as you are afraid of any pain to harm it you decide to unwrap the cocoon

So it comes out dead.. it was in need to failure.. failure was supposed to make it.

and here let me tell you a very short story to sum up and tell you why we have decided to make this episode.

a short time ago.. i have passed by many hard situations that would have destroyed me.. and in these times you find people to support you even if with a very small word.

a friend called me one day and told me something that stuck into my mind.

we both love MO SALAH.. and we always watch his old interviews to discover his progress.

He said to me "Don't you think Mo Salah was ever a loser person before being such a super star?"

"Didn't he thought about himself as The Loser person that will never achieve any thing?"

"If Mo Salah hasn't stood after every time he fell, we wouldn't have known a person called Mo Salah"

Talented and excellent people are a lot in every field, but those we know and talk about are the people that have completed their way.. they haven't fallen"

Those who decided after each hard time to complete as they know that these hard times will make their history and every time they fall in is a more minute in their TED Speech.

many things can be hardly defined as failure

but if we want to put a fixed definition for it, it will be the moment when you fall in you decide not to try again.

Failure is not more than a decision.. any thing else is just obstacles in your way.

part of the rules of the game that you must me aware of before taking one step forward.

Insane WORLDS Plays From EVERY Year - League of Legends - Worlds 2018 - Duration: 12:04.

Insane Worlds Moments From Every Year - League of Legends

We are just days away from Worlds 2018 - the ultimate League of Legends tournament where

teams from all over the world batter each other for the right to say hey - we're the

best at League of Legends - you're not - we are - go away - for about a year.

This is the 8th world championship.

Ive got a lot to say about it but luckily, the tournament last for the better part of

a month so Ive got plenty of time to talk about it.

In this video though, I want to go back and look at the most insane moments from every

year so far …. INSANE, INSANE, OHHH MY GOOD, AHHHHH, WHAT WAS THAT, WHAT WHAS THAAAAAT

… yeah, that kind of insane.

I mean, its just an easy word to put in a video title isnt it really, insane.

Season 1 Worlds took place in 2011 at Dreamhack in Sweden - compared to Worlds these days

- it was a quiet affair.

Some people even argue that it doesn't even really count as a worlds tournament because

there were only 8 teams playing - 6 of them were from North America and Europe.

To be honest, having no Korean teams playing was probably the only way that two European

teams could get to the finals.

Against All Authority faced off against Fnatic - looking at the game these days, it resembles

more of solo q match than a championship final.

Still, my favourite moment was from that final - during game 2, Against All Authority were

scrambling to finish off Fnatic and bring the match to 1 game all in the best of 3.

Things looked good but then things looked even better when Yellowstar pulled of this

iconic Ashe ult from across the match to catch out the enemy Janna and secure his team

the game.

Beautiful stuff - that was 7 years ago now - I cant quite believe that.

Lets move on to Season 2 worlds.

This was a really hard one to choose from - there were actually so many good moments

in this tournament - the inclusion of China and Korea started a downward trend for European

teams who have been generally outclassed by them ever since.

The North America and Europe rivalry was only strengthened though by this iconic slug fest

between SK Gaming and CLG during the Group Stage.

After 34 minutes of relative deadlock between the two teams, CLGs Doublelift made a rush

for SK's base.

At first, SK tried to answer by pushing into CLG's base.

Someone had to call the other team's bluff - and the ending was as clutch as you'd

expect.

The season 3 world championships are usually remembered for one thing - the birth of Faker

as the unkillable demon king and SKT starting their dynasty as the best team in the world.

They crushed Royal Club 3-0 in the finals which forget just how good Royal Club were.

Heres a reminder though from their Quarterfinal match against fellow Chinese team OMG.

Vayne was in meta - Uzi is insane - it was only a matter of time before he made another

team look silly, just like this.

The positioning and skill he displayed throughout the whole tournament cemented Uzi as one of

the best AD Carries in the world - a title he hasnt given up in the 5 years since this

tournament.

Will 2018 be his year?

I think so.

I think RNG is going to win Worlds this year with Uzi.

You can mark my words.

This is going to look really bad if they don't actually do that …

Nooooow if you're asking me - one of the most hype parts of Season 4 worlds was the

song they released for it - Warriors by Imagine Dragons … THAT BUIIILT THIIIIS TOOOOOOWN.

Ahem.

When it came to the tournament though, this was the year of Samsung.

Back before having sister teams was banned, Samsung had two teams that both made it to

worlds - Samsung Blue and Samsung White.

They were both big contenders and as expected, they made it out of groups.

Samsung White beat TSM 3-1 and Samsung Blue did the same to Cloud 9 - that game though

featured one of the most crazy endings ever.

Cloud 9 were losing 2-1 in the series, they had just killed not 1, not 2, but 3 members

of Samsung Blue who wouldnt respawn for another 34 seconds.

With super minions destroying their own base, they decided to try and end the game - what

happened next is burned into the memory of Cloud 9 fans around the world.

That hurts to watch, but as TSM fan, it doesn't hurt too much.

Season 5 saw SKT lift the trophy once again - becoming the 1st team to ever win more than

1 worlds title.

For many European fans though, they remember this years tournament as the year Europe showed

they could compete.

Both Fnc and Origen got to the semi finals before losing to the Korean powerhouses of

SKT and KOO Tigers.

Before that though, Origen knocked out Flash Wolves 3-1.

In the first game, they got off to a shaky start, finding themself over 4 thousand gold

down at the 30 minute mark.

Then, they saw a window to try and take baron.

Would they secure it?

Would they win the team fight afterwards?

Soaz silenced them all with the swing of a Darius axe …

amazing play there and also I just wanna shout out Soaz for holding the joint title of 5

worlds appearances.

Theres only 3 other active players who can say that - Sneaky, Doublelift and Clearlove

- theres also Dyrus and Yellowstar too.

Lets see if sOaz will pop off this year too …

Season 6 worlds is famous for perhaps the greatest upset of all time when Albus Nox,

a wild card team expected to be smashed, made it out of groups at the expensive of CLG and

G2 esports - nobody saw that coming.

It also provided the closest final in worlds history with SKT eding out Samsung Galaxy

3 games to 2 and giving them their 3rd worlds title.

Along the way, fans saw the game taken to a whole new level with too many crazy plays

to pick from - which makes my job in this video kind of hard.

In the end, Im going to go with this semi final game between SKT and Rox Tigers.

The second game saw Rox Tigers trying to level the series.

They had been ahead in gold but SKT were putting up a valiant defense.

Pray and Kuro went to finish them off, natrually, SKT began recalling.

When Pray spotted Duke on the other side of the map though, he fired off his ultimate

- the

arrow stunned Duke as he tried to recall, buying Pray valuable time to finish off the

game in a very clutch ending.

Season 7 … the most recent worlds to date - unless you're watching this video in a

few months … it was the first time China held the event and many speculated this would

give a home advantage to the Chinese teams.

It also introduced the play in stage - 12 teams secured their spots in the standard

groups but a further 12 had to battle it out for the last 4 spots.

C9 had to do this and event went all the way to the quarter finals before losing to Chinas

WE.

Misfits, in their worlds debut, put up a great fight against SKT in the quarter finals - even

going 2-1 up against them before losting 3-2 - it was a sign of things to come though for

the 3 time world champions who struggled to beat RNG in the semis before being smashe

3-0 by Samsung Galaxy in the finals - their 2nd worlds title as an organisation.

The headlines were of the end of SKTs reign, it seems they were right based on SKT not

qualifying for Worlds in 2018 - however, the team did provide by favourite play of the

whole tournament.

In the group stage, they faced off against EDG - they had won the first game but the

second was going badly for them.

At 29 minutes in, they were down a whopping 10 thousand gold.

Most League players would argue that the game is pretty much over by that point, especially

at pro level - and then SKT pulled off an insane wombo combo.

EDG melted at the hands of the perfect Rakan, Twitch, J4 and Orianna combo.

I still think its one of the best plays of all time - not just because of the skill but

just because of how far behind they were.

INSPIRATIONAL.

And that brings us to 2018 - if youre watching this on the day of upload then Worlds Season

8 starts on October 1st.

I was already excited, then I worked on this video and Im just about wetting myself.

Who will surprise us?

Who will crash and burn?

And ultimately, who will win this year?

Maybe that will be my next video … make sure you're subscribed for that - leave

a like if you liked this - my name is Danny Burke and this is esports1, the one for esports.

Credit Card Companies Agree To Pay Over $6 Billion In Decade Old Lawsuit - Duration: 3:57.

Visa, MasterCard, and a number of US banks have agreed to pay an unprecedented 6.2 billion

dollars to settle a long-running lawsuit brought by merchants over the fees they pay when they

accept payment a card.

This sounds like a big number, Mollye.

Yes.

But, you know, the truth is, it's not, because, how much did the companies make?

They're paying out 6.2 billion dollars for fraud.

That's what we're talking about.

Correct.

They kept it a secret.

It's fraud.

First of all, explain the case briefly.

And tell us how much they made doing this.

Sure.

What's interesting to me is that this lawsuit was filed a decade ago, over a decade ago,

in fact, 2005.

So they've been going at this for some time.

The National Retail Federation is heavily involved now, but they were not involved in

the initial lawsuit, which was brought on by thousands of retailers who were saying,

"Hey, you're jacking up our costs with these swipe fees," which is basically the cost of

doing business for a bank card.

They said, "We can't keep passing these costs onto our customers.

It's 2%-4%.

They're not gonna buy as much when they're in our stores.

We can't give them other options.

You're prohibiting us by your policies from giving these customers other options on how

to pay for their items.

And this is basically cutting into our bottom line, because it's hurting our business."

So this has been going back and forth for some time with some attempts towards a settlement,

the Supreme Court got involved at one point.

Why did the Supreme Court get involved?

First of all, the settlement was thrown out to begin with, by a federal judge, the initial

settlement.

Tell me about that.

Yes.

Basically they did come to a settlement.

At one point, that was gonna be about 5.7 billion.

But 8000 retailers had dropped out by that point, so it almost took the heart out of

the case, and the Supreme Court said, "Let's table this."

Then the National Retail Federation got involved.

They appealed it.

That's how it got tabled, basically.

They appealed it, then the Supreme Court upheld that appeal, which allowed the case to move

forward and basically be heard again.

So this is a result of that case being heard again, although the National Retail Federation

still isn't extremely happy with it, because this is, like you said, just a small amount

compared to the 250 billion in swipe fees that they made over the time period that this

lawsuit was filed.

So this 7.25 billion is just a drop in the bucket.

They've made no effort to address the policies that resulted in this enormous amount of collections.

In other words, it's continuing.

Exactly.

It's continuing.

In other words-

Quit your complaining.

Yeah, exactly.

We got 250 billion.

This is the cost of doing business.

Correct.

In other words, if you can make 250 billion dollars, will you pay out six billion dollars

every 20 years?

Basically, that's kind of the analysis.

You got it.

Is it a good business decision?

And so, here we've got something to where they paid out 6.2 billion dollars.

But they are still ripping people off on the swipe.

How does the swipe work?

Exactly.

Basically, like you said, it's the cost of doing business.

It's the transaction fee when a bank customer says, "Hey, I wanna use my card."

That cost is passed onto the retailer.

So it's a transaction fee that the retailer passes onto the customer for the convenience

of using that card.

And because so many people use those cards, retailers know that they can't necessarily

quit using them all together.

So they feel like they're prohibited in the options that they can give customers.

They want them to spend more money in their store.

They feel like these rising swipe fees keep those customers from spending more money with

them.

So as a result, these banks are making just billions and billions of dollars on these

fees.

And then, they're keeping it for themselves and passing it on as rewards, if you will,

to customers and various other incentive programs within the banks.

But it's basically like, "Hey, we know it's easy to use these cards.

We don't want you to feel like ... " we're basically a cashless society to a great extent

now, so they know that they have these retailers over a barrel.

Mollye, thank you for joining me.

I don't predict this is ever gonna get any better, because banks and corporations right

now control the politics of American democracy almost in every-

We need a trade pact.

We need to get back to trading.

Exactly.

We Forced A Tourist And A Local To Go To Times Square: Tourist Vs. Local - Duration: 11:01.

- Hi I'm Dave and I'm from New York.

Today I'm meeting a total stranger,

and for some reason we're going to Times Square.

- I am Samuel Swanson.

I am from a little small dot called Pine Level, Alabama.

This is my first time in New York City.

Ooh, there goes a Chipotle, (screams) yes.

♪ In New York ♪

- I'm terrified.

- [Narrator] This is a show where we take two strangers,

a local from the big city.

- I've lived in New York for about 10 years.

- [Narrator] And an out of towner.

- Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.

- [Narrator] They go to one of the most infamous spots

in New York City; Times Square.

Dave absolutely hates Times Square.

- I hate Times Square.

- [Narrator] But Samuel could not be more excited.

(screams)

The goal is for Dave to withstand a trip to Times Square,

and find one thing he doesn't hate about it.

This is Tourist vs Local.

- I've lived in New York for about 10 years.

- Where I'm from there's no Starbucks.

There's no Burger King.

There's no bodega, you guys call it.

Everyone is in a trailer, so we really don't see brick.

If you do have brick, it's because your bougie or your rich.

In Times Square, I am really excited to see characters.

- Elmo's there trying to steal money from you.

It's awful, it's awful.

- I'm gonna be able to go to Broadway shows.

- I got news for you.

It costs like $120 to see a Broadway show,

and that's for the shittiest one.

You think you're gonna see Hamilton?

Yeah, good luck.

It costs $2,000 to see Hamilton.

- Shopping, maybe going out in the street.

Maybe get some cool, dope, awesome jobs

versus working at a McDonald's or at the county.

Some of the awesome things I'm hoping to see here,

maybe even Alicia keys.

I would love to see Beyonce.

I don't know if she's here or not or Kelly Roland.

(bell rings)

- It's loud, it's expensive, it smells bad.

- Discounted items, you could have a Gucci bag

for like 20 bucks.

I'm a caught me one cause you never know honey;

stun it till you make it, great food.

- I mean, there's probably some hot dogs

that are like three decades old you could get there.

- I'm ready to see crazy hairstyles

and crazy stuff.

(upbeat instrumental music)

Hey, I think we are here.

(upbeat instrumental music)

- Samuel, bring it in.

- What's up buddy?

- How you doing, welcome.

- Doing good.

- Come on in.

It's five flights up.

- Okay, there's an elevator right?

- [Dave] Nope.

- I'm already feeling it bro.

- We got two more.

- [Samuel] Technically, isn't it three?

- [Dave] We can do it.

- [Samuel] Talk about calf workout.

- Yeah, I got calves of steel.

We're gonna go down this little tunnel.

(sighs)

(beeps)

("Scared of Heights" by Jersey Demic)

- Are there any places you like going in Times Square?

- The best part about Times Square

is when you finally leave Times Square,

and you're free again.

("Adolescence" by Mel Croucher)

One of the most amazing parts of today,

is that I got a chance to see something

that's totally different.

People, food all over the place, pigeons, a Starbucks.

I got a chance to hang out with this guy

which was amazing.

So after hanging out with me today bud,

is there anything in Times Square

you have a different view on that you don't hate as much?

- It wasn't the worst thing that I've ever done,

and I had more fun than I thought I was gonna have.

Thanks to you I feel like it wouldn't have been

as fun if you weren't there.

You got a beautiful voice.

The voice of an angelic voice.

- It was a surreal moment.

I feel like he was Jay-Z, I was Alicia.

- I thought that too.

- We were just going in.

- The thing with Times Square

is I feel it's only as good as the company you keep.

- Yes.

A Dozen Pair of Shoes

Story by Luis Gatmaitan

Illustrations by Beth Parrocha-Doctolero

(MUSIC)

My father was a shoemaker.

Shoes made by him were really famous in our town.

A lot of people would come to us to have their shoes made.

From what we heard, my father's shoes were so much better than the shoes made in Marikina.

They were durable, the workmanship was really excellent, and their designs, truly creative!

"Where on earth do you get your ideas for those styles?

They're sooo pretty!"

"Looks like the muse of shoes and soles comes and visits you . . ."

"You must have magic in your hands!"

With all these praises, my Tatay would only half smile.

He was a quiet man.

He rarely ever spoke.

I grew up amidst all the many shoes my father made.

My friends and classmates often wished they were in my shoes.

They said I was lucky to have a shoemaker for a father.

Why, I always had a new pair for every occasion school opening, Christmas, my birthday,

or when I was awarded class honors in school!

My Tatay even made me extra pairs of shoes from left-over leather and fabric.

"I wish I were you, Karina.

You always have new shoes.

Me? I get hand-me-downs from my ate.

I only wear the shoes that don't fit her anymore," complained one of my classmates.

I was in the second grade when my mother became pregnant again.

We'd waited so long to have another baby in the family.

My lola said that their prayers for me to have a kid brother or sister had been answered.

"Oh, pretty soon I will have someone to share my shoes with.

But that's okay, I know my father will always do enough shoes for both of us."

When the baby was still in my mother's tummy, I heard my mother and my father talking.

"I just had my check-up.

My doctor said our baby is going to be a girl!"

"That's great!

If she's a girl, we'll have her take up ballet lessons.

I'd really like to have a ballet dancer in the family!

From now on, I am going to start learning how to make ballet shoes," Tatay said.

But not all of my father's dreams could come true.

When we saw my baby sister for the first time, we were all so shocked.

She had no feet!

It was as though her two feet had been cut off!

The rumors began to spread.

Because my sister was sort of deformed, people were saying a lot of nasty things.

Some said maybe my mother tried to get rid of her that's why her body parts were incomplete.

Or my mother might have taken some harmful pills and those pills melted my sister's feet.

Or the shoe spirits cursed my father because he raised the prices for his shoes.

Or maybe my mother had an unusual liking for a doll while pregnant.

"Nanay, why doesn't Susie have feet?"

"I had this infection, anak . . I caught German measles while your sister was growing in my tummy.

And well . . . the effect was that . . ." my mother narrated sadly.

My sister will never be a ballet dancer then.

Tatay will be very disappointed.

I had this thought every day, every time I'd see Susie without her feet.

That's why I decided to persuade Nanay to enroll me in a ballet school even if I didn't really like ballet.

But . . . "Ma'am, why don't you have Karina take up piano instead, or maybe painting,

or enroll her in a banduria class?" my ballet teacher suggested to my mother.

I really felt very let down.

Not for myself but for my Tatay and Susie,

and for all the elusive dreams that could never come true.

I felt and saw how my father and mother loved Susie.

They were always ready to keep her from harm.

Once while we were on a picnic at the park, there was this guy who saw Susie.

Pointing at Susie, he said, "Hey, look!

That kid will make a good freak show at the carnival!"

My father turned red.

He clenched his fist.

That was the first time I ever saw his eyebrows meet.

He almost hit the guy.

"What's your problem?"

A good thing my mother stopped him just in time.

While in bed one night, I heard Tatay talking to Susie.

"Anak, feet or no feet, your Nanay and I love you very much.

You are special in the eyes of God.

What's important to us is that you grow up to be a good person, believing in yourself."

He kissed her warmly.

Father never stopped making shoes for me.

But I could tell that each time he measured my feet, his eyes drifted towards my sister's crib.

"Too bad, bunso, you have never known how it feels like

to wear the beautiful shoes our Tatay makes . " I whispered to her.

Susie and I were really close as we grew up.

It never mattered to me that she had no feet.

That never stopped us from playing together.

We found a lot of games that didn't need the use of feet, anyway.

She always beat me in 'sungka', jackstone, scrabble and 'pitik-bulag'.

I took it upon myself to be her defender from all teasers.

Her wheelchair pusher.

Her 'ate' assistant!

That was when I realized my sister and I were alike in so many ways.

We were both better with our hands than with our feet.

l was good in painting.

And she is good in writing stories.

And oh, our Tatay was also good with his hands!

Susie once woke me up to tell me about her dream:

About a most unusual pair of shoes that looked so good on her feet.

She has feet in her dream?

I wondered to myself.

"Believe me, Ate, I dreamed of a beautiful pair of shoes.

It's made of yellow patent leather adorned with a sunflower up front!"

That was when she was about to celebrate her birthday.

What I noticed was, whenever --her birthday was drawing near, she would always dream of shoes.

"Ate, I dreamed of another pair of shoes.

It's made of red velvet with a big side buckle!"

She also told me about the open-toed blue shoes with her own toes peeping through.

The white shoes with tiny heels and red bow.

The denim shoes embroidered with the moon and stars.

The sandals that looked like a fishnet.

The purple shoes with a round crystal attached near the toe.

It never ceased to amaze me at how she could remember even the tiniest detail of the shoes in her dreams

the flowers, ribbons, buttons, sequins, beads, or buckles.

And she thought of these shoes like they were her very own.

"Ate, when I grow up, I am going to write a story about all the shoes in my dreams.

And you'll draw them for me, okay?"

After a few years, my father retired from making shoes,

except for the orders from his loyal customers he simply couldn't refuse.

When he celebrated his birthday, my gift to him was one of my paintings

a pair of heavily veined hands making shoes.

Susie gave him a small music box with a ballerina.

"You made your father very happy," Nanay said.

Shortly after that, Tatay became sickly.

Susie was twelve when finally he left us all for good.

One day, I happened to wander to the "bodega",

looking for old shoes that I could donate to the orphanage.

While searching, I found a box that looked as though it hadn't been touched for sometime.

Opening it, I found several small shoe boxes neatly piled on top of each other!

Who owns these shoes?

Are they undelivered orders? I asked myself.

But when I looked closely at all the shoes, I was startled.

They were my father's best creations in wonderful designs.

And they came in different sizes.

There was a pair of baby shoes.

Baptismal shoes.

Leisure shoes.

School shoes.

Church shoes.

Party shoes.

I was even more startled when I read the dedication written on a small tag.

For my dearest Susie, On her first birthday

I peered inside the boxes one at a time.

Every single pair of shoes was for Susie.

My father had been making shoes for Susie all this time!

For Susie, joy of my life, As she celebrates her seventh birthday

Year after year, my father never missed making a pair of shoes for Susie on her birthday.

One dozen shoes all in all!

Specially for my dearest bunso, On the occasion of her twelfth birthday.

I burst out crying when I saw the shoes.

I hadn't realized till then how deep Tatay's love was.

I brought the twelve pairs of shoes to my mother and Susie.

"I-I had no idea that your father had been making shoes for you, Susie," tears formed in my mother's eyes.

"He kept it a secret from me .

"A-Ate, these are the shoes I dreamed about . . ."

Susie couldn't believe her eyes as she caressed each shoe.

"Oh?!" Suddenly, I remembered all the shoes that Susie had described to me in the past.

Yellow patent leather shoes with sunflower up front.

Red velvet shoes with a big side buckle.

Blue open-toed shoes with her own toes peeping through.

White shoes with tiny heels and a red bow.

Denim shoes embroidered with the moon and stars.

Sandals that looked like a fish net.

Purple shoes with a round crystal near the toe.

In my mind I thought, did my father's love cross over,

reaching out to Susie's dreams so she could wear the shoes he made for her?

I am not sure.

What I'm sure about is that, life isn't perfect.

Just look at the way my sister was created.

But there are perfect moments.

Like the moments when my father created the most beautiful shoes....

....for Susie.
