Argghh!! Samhain! Samhein! What ever it is, Samhain or Samhein… I’m too late!! Arrgghhh!! Happy Halloween everybody! Today is October 30, tomorrow is halloween and Samhain or Samhein is “The Man” of Halloween!

Who is Samhain/Samhein?

Samhain (Scots Gaelic: Samhuinn) literally means “summer’s end.”.. Of course, the end of Spring is Autumn… and since we are here in Canada, we experience first hand that after spring is autum and now winter is coming.. It’s samhain’s Halloween!

In the country year, Samhain marked the first day of winter, when the herders led the cattle and sheep down from their summer hillside pastures to the shelter of stable and byre. The hay that would feed them during the winter must be stored in sturdy thatched ricks, tied down securely against storms.

Supernatural Halloween Samhein Special

Tonight’s episode of Supernatural is the one responsible for introducing me to Samhain or to the word Samhein. Apparently, he si the demon (samhein) that is synomymous to Halloween. Sam was able to send him back to hell, but i know Samhein is still there.

Other Information About Samhein/Samhain

I read it that Samhain is an Irish word that has somthing to do with harvsting.. Samhain (in English pronounced /ˈsaʊn/, /ˈsaʊɪn/ or /ˈsawɪn/,[1] from Irish samhain /ˈsˠaunʲ/, Scottish samhuinn /ˈsavɯɲ/, Old Irish samain /savanʲ/) (old English, Samhein) is a festival on the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, with aspects of a Festival of the Dead. It is popularly regarded as ‘The Celtic New Year’.

Samhain/Samhein derives from the name of a month in the ancient Celtic calendar, in particular the first three nights of this month, with the festival marking the end of the summer season and the end of the harvest. The Gaelic festival became associated with the Catholic All Souls’ Day, and appears to have influenced the secular customs now connected with Halloween. Samhain is also the name of a festival in various currents of Neopaganism inspired by Gaelic tradition.

Whatever Samhein or Samhain is, that is one cool word in today’s season.. season of halloween..So to all, Happy Samhein slash Happy Samhein day!!

Last night was the third episode of the new NBC TV series - My Own Worst Enemy - starring Christian Slater…

Like I said on my previous post, this series is like a modern Dr. jeckly/Mr. Hyde thing.

Christian Slater plas both Edward and Henry… on the same body but completely different person. Edward is the secret agent, action man who words for JANUS and Henry is the family man who works for AJ SUN… Hmm.. reminds me of “Da Vinci’s Code”… Anagram?

Anyway, back to MY Own Worst Enemy show… here’s some info about last nights show: .. SPOILERS!

Why should poeple should die? I’m not talking about all People here or the whole human race.. I’m talking about all those people who misspelled the word people for POEPLE!!

I say, come on and let’s kill them poeple! hehehe, just kidding… I’m trying to make another point here. We, as human beings are not perfect. There are more than a number of poeple who really got tricked or confused or whatever whenever they type in “People” in their keyboard and wound up with “Poeple” instead.

I already point this out to my Proove Poeople are Dumb and I’m going to show it here again:

Just look that that graph! “Poeple” is the blue line and Marian Rivera is the Red line. See how many poeple mispell the word? Tons! This graph of poeple btw is Google’s very won Trends service. I put in “Poeple” and “marian rivera” (famous local actress) and compared their trends.

So, this is some sort of a public service to all the poeple out there.. please, it’s PEOPLE.

Needbang? Who are you? are you a soldier who needs bang? Are you a movie star who has a big lead in a needbang movie?

Whatever you need, you are searching for needbang aren’t you? Well, let me tell you where it it..

Needbang is here!

Need bang is a video sharing site that is for mature poeple only. Why is that you may ask? Well, because needbang is a collection of vidio. Yeah, you’re right videos.

Go and try searching vidio or needbang on googel and you will find what you are looking for.l

Kaixin! Pretty girls, friendly girls, gorgeous women, good looking boys and hunk guys, or simply just someone to talk and be friends with. If you’re looking for one or all the above, I’m sure you’re a member of the social network website, facebook, myspace, Friendster and others…. If you’re Chinese, KAIXIN!

Kaixin is the Chinese Facebook. Yep, that true. Kaixin is the equivalent of the world famous social networking site, Facebook. You basically can do anything with Kaixin just like in Facebook. You first need to make an account, customize you kaixin profile and start adding up friends and acquintances.

Just like any other social network, you can alsom make money using that social media website.

Unfortunately, Kaixin is exclusively for Chinese only. Why? Here’s why. Try checking the Kaixin website and you’ll see why. It’s in Chinese characters! Yeah too bad. Looks like Kaixin is not for everyone.

Chinese poeple dominates the population of the world, no wonder Kaixin could be a hit!

There’s a new TV Series being shown here in Canada, or I guess in the North America region. The new TV show from NBC (right after Heroes) on the Global Channel is My Own Worst Enemy.

The pilot episode aired last week, October 13, 2008. You don’t believe me? Go check WikiPedia… Tonight is “My Own Worst Enemy’s” second episode. Sadly, I didn’t able to finished watching the first episode, I feel asleep. (The show’s not boring though, I was just tired from work)

About “My OWn Worst Enemy”

One man, two completely different character.. Henry and Edward… That’s what My Own Worst Enemy is all about.

It was reported that the pilot episode is free on itunes, imdb and others but not on utube? huh! Doesn’t matter, there’s always codek and bitorrent right?

My Own Worst Enemy explores the duality of a man who is literally pitted against himself, a la Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Edward Hyde. And it raises the question: who can you trust when you can’t trust yourself? The series is produced by Universal Media Studios. Jason Smilovic is the executive producer; David Semel is the director and executive producer.

Henry Spivey/Edward Albright (played by Christian Slater) - Henry is a middle-class efficiency expert living a humdrum life in the suburbs with a wife, two kids, and a dog. Edward is an operative who speaks 13 languages, runs a four-minute mile, and is trained to kill. Henry and Edward are polar opposites who share only one thing in common—the same body. When the carefully constructed wall between them breaks down, Henry and Edward are thrust into unfamiliar territory where each man is dangerously out of his element. The first names match those of the two dueling spirits that shared a body in Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. In that story, kindly Dr. Henry Jekyll’s alter ego is the violent, lecherous Mr. Edward Hyde.
