The Clow Cards ~ Part VII

Finally, here's the last four Clow cards. I kind of like posting about these subjects. It's quite fun. Oh well, might as well just finish this and move on.

It seems like in this deck, here assemble the most powerful cards: the Dark and the Light. Also, the Earthy, which is an element card, is powerful as well.

My favorite card from here would be all, since they are all powerful in a certain way. The Dark can cause the "affected area to be surround in darkness," while the Light does the opposite. The Twins allows me to duplicate objects, which is not a bad idea at all. This help to saves some money and resources that needs to be use to create that object, since the Twins have the power to duplicate objects without using the real materials. The Earthy looks so beautiful and elegant, and really "earthy". Since, I'm supporting "Green", of course I would not hate the Earthy.

The Clow Cards ~ Part VI

Release: Clow cards. The ones that I like are the Voice, Cloud, and Dream. I like the Voice because it can sings in a very beautiful voice and melody. I think the Cloud's has a cute design, plus it will be fun making clouds. The reason to why I choose the Dream, even through I have never have learn any major points about it, but since it's called "Dream", it should be able to create dreams. I would like to dream of lots of sweet dreams, which makes the sleeping time go by faster. I'm the type of person who doesn't like to sleep, but will have a soundly sleep if I'm having a sweet dream.

Puma City

Here's a store that was built from shipping containers. I think this is really cool and environmental friendly. Its not a bad idea at all, instead its very creative in the design and the usage of materials.

Daily Update

Today, I went on YouTube, and found a short clip of the Great Debaters. That clip was taken from the part where Willy College is debating against Harvard, and it's James Farmer Jr. turn to speak. I really like his speech, and I think that it's so heart moving, and inspiring.

Here's the script of what he said. I think it is very persuasive and quite good.
Why Nonviolent Civil Disobedience?
"In Texas, they lynch Negros.
My teammates and I saw a man strung by his neck and set on fire.
We drove through a lynch mob, press our faces against the floorboard.
I look at my teammates.
I saw the fear in their eyes.
And worse, the shame.
What was this Negros crime that he should be hung without trail in a dark forests fill with fog. Was he a thief? Was he a killer? Or just a negro.
Was he a sharecropper? A preacher.
Were his children waking up for him?
And who are we just lied there and do nothing.
No matter what he did, the mob was the criminal, but the law did nothing. J
ust left us wondering.
Why?
My opponents said, 'nothing that erodes the rules of law be moral.'
But there is no rule of law in the Jim Crow south not when Negros are denied housing turning away from schools, hospitals, and not when we were lynch.
St. Augustine said, 'An unjust law is no law at all', which means I have a right even a duty to resist with violence, or civil disobedience.
You should pray I choose the latter."

The Clow Cards ~ Part V

Here's are some more Clow cards. One of the Clow cards that I like is the Create. With the Create, I can write anything that I want to see and it will comes true. I can write about a dragon, and then the Create card will create out what I have wrote out, making it real. I think it would be so cool if it is true. I like the Firey, since it's one of the elemental card, which is stronger than any other cards. Also, the child who represent the Firey is cool especially with the fiery wings.

Green Homes

Today, I have found some interesting things: they are Green homes and offices built from shipping containers. Yes, you didn't read it wrong, it is "Shipping Containers" and they are all so awesome (the designs are interesting), and very environmental friendly, since it reuse materials that we already have instead of cutting down trees, or mining for metals for new resources. These kinds of homes are popular in Europe, and New York.
One of the design that I'm impressed by was...
the illycaffe Push Button House
The illycaffe Push Button House is a compact metal container with a fully furnished cafe, functional kitchen, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, living room and even a library.

Cove Park
This does not look like the average shipping box that we see, does it?


Here's another one that I think is interesting and pretty cool looking. This home is quite interesting. The interior of the house looks so modern and beautiful just like a regular house that's built from the normal resources. It's unbelievable that such a pretty and stylish house was built from shipping boxes. What's your opinion?

The Clow Cards ~ Part IV

Here are some more Clow cards. My favorite Clow cards from here are the Mirror, and the Dash. I like the Mirror because with the Mirror help, I can create a doppelganger of myself. I can go to school one day, and then the next day will be my doppelganger turn. I will be able to have more time to relax and be "stress free" from school. I like the Dash because it allows me to run faster, which is something that I don't dislike. I would like to be able to run faster, however, I need to state that I'm still fast in walking. For running, I have no clue, since I hate sport. But, it won't hurt to be able to run fast, right?
