Me Grimlock Hate Push-ups!
Just graduated from Respiratory school and hope that God will open the door for getting an RT job. I decided to get the "Me Grimlock Hate Push-Ups T-shirt after seeing an TF fan wear it online. The pics above was on July 4, 2014. There are numerous versions of Grimlock "hate push-ups" tshirts, but I thought this was the coolest one. Not to mention, my sister thought it look cute. I love the shirt as I wear it almost every week. Shouldn't wear it out but you can't deny its a cool looking and funny t shirt. The kids and TF fans always get a good kick when they see me wear this shirt. Even my best friend thought it was awesome as well.
You can purchase this t-shirt for an limited time on Hottopic website or stores near you. God Bless you dudes and dudettes. Laters.

Beware Microsoft Indian call scams viruses or errors.
First off, please don't rub it in, but yes, I got scammed by these folks. Yes, I was stupid and admit it.
First off, I should had really consulted God on this matter, and I didn't and I have no one else to blame but me. But I am glad he helped me rectify the situation even if I lost quite a bit of money. The point of this post is to show and warn you to not do the same thing and to help save your hard earned money.
Priority: Once you hear these people with thick Indian accents calling you from Microsoft talking either about Viruses or errors ( this is what I got.) Hang up quick! Microsoft, through my experience never calls, and after this incident never will. These people are fakes.
If you were duped, be-careful here. Let's say you already paid the money which is where I am getting at, then you just lucked out on the money. But you can still save your computer. These people will have access to your comp because you gave it to them. You can see them doing stuff on your comp via remote pc. Before I get to the bad stuff, these folks are professionals! Sadly, they used their intelligence to do evil! Yes, I do forgive these folks and pray they find the lord some day. But I will never give them my business ever again nor will I trust any phone scheme ever again. Once again, how can I be so stupid! Anyways, they will give your confirmation codes through your email and stuff and it looks all legit. They will give you a website which you should look carefully, because it may not really have anything to do with what they are offering. They will use western names like Victor, Mark, and common names.... doesn't sound much Indian doesn't it?
I told them I had to go out for a moment. I come back hours later, and they barely did anything. I realized something was wrong. When they came back on, they were doing simple stuff that a blind lady can do. I did a research with my IPAD and put two and two together, and realized, this is a SCAM!
Yes, the monetary damage was done, but thank the Lord he still saved me in time to prevent my comp from losing info because I heard that the people who got scammed all the way lost their info, and these mis-guided souls would put viruses on there comps. Some got really nasty malware from what I heard and some couldn't even get past the login screen. I noticed that the guy who was controlling my comp was deleting my anti-virus software. I realized he was setting up the big finale!!! I quickly pulled the plug on my comp.
He was still trying to gain access to my comp after it rebooted. Though I learned the hard way, I said NO! My info is still intact and I changed my password just in case. Not only that, if you paid by card...CANCEL IT IMMEDIATELY! You see, I think the Lord wanted me to learn about this, because my faith has been dwindling (my fault) but now I see a real reason to need him more than ever. Guess what? If they were really caring, they would had called and said "why you unplug?" Not one call.......FAKE! Another way I knew the Lord protected me after my fall was that the guy could not finish his scanning on my computer for hours, when he talked to me he keeps saying he was dis-connected time after time. So thank the Lord he protected me from having my computer wiped out.
I knew something was wrong because I went out for "those" hours and I couldn't let go of the situation that I just gave a large sum of money away. I felt the lord was trying to teach me a lesson and that lesson was to trust in him and learn how to say NO to un-righteousness! You can't always say yes to everything.
I was foolish and careless and the damage had been done. I know many of you folks will not fall for it. Those who already paid.. you can still save your computer if you realize it though you can't get your money back because it was your negligence as it was mine.
Sure.... these people are laughing at me cuz they got my money. But if they die in their sins, can you take the money with you? If you are one of those that are cheating people and reading this, tell me:
"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Matt 16:26)
Yes, i am disappointed in myself as well as those who do this. But know this, I do forgive you folks but my God will have vengeance upon you if you do not repent. You have been warned!
Its a hard lesson learned. I learned it very well. Through my faith in the lord, I know I will earn my money back. However, try and not lose your soul. Peace brothers and sisters.
*up date 5/21/14* I just did a research online and many people got scammed by this evil scheme. There was s story with one guy who isn't trusting of phone soliciting, but even he fell for it. Thank God he was able to get back most of his money. Another lesson here is that keep God's armor on, and don't let your guard down for one sec.
Another thing is that I do not condone any of this. I am actually hoping they call me again some day so i can preach to them the Gospel. From that point on, they can continue to sin or drop their evil acts and turn themselves in. Either way, Justice will be served. If it comes from the Lord, you better hope your life wasn't lost in the process and you will be jailed for your criminal activities.
*update 5/22/14* Thank the Lord, I don't think I lost anything at all when I checked my statement. I was able to close the account in time before they did any damage. Hallelujah! I heard a lady in the past gave her bank account, and in front of her computer screen she saw her bank account being wired to an unknown source. She quickly called her bank to close the transfer. She too was able to stop it. This morning they called my dad up and said they were computer maintenance. Geez, these guys/girls will just hurt people just to get money. I hope they call again so I can say a couple things to them. Laters.
*update 7/22/14* Well, these folks keep calling. They called me a few days prior to writing this message and I told them a lie (forgive me God) that I had no computer. They hung up. They called me today in a very low frequency (some what eerie voice). I just quickly hung up. I was very tired so didn't feel like talking to them. Yeah, I have yet to preach to them, but I doubt they will listen. I ain't preaching niceties, its going to be more like, you guys/gals need forgiveness and you need to turn a new leaf that type of thing. Some people just can't take no for an answer like my friend said.
*August 2014* These guys don't let up. From what I hear, as long as you pick up the phone and say hi, the word "live bait" comes to mind. Sadly, I don't have caller ID on my phone so I can't pull the whole "If I don't recognize the number, then I'm not picking it up." One of the scammers called and I finally told them to seek God, and I was aware of their plans and what they were doing and then I hung up. The same people called me up few days later and I just hung them up because I was busy. The funny thing is that the latter said his name was Daniel Bryan who is a current WWE superstar.
*Sept 2014* I guess I should do this monthly. They are attempting to be more aggressive now. They call you up and then automatically say "You have a computer, right?" And then I just say: "Sorry dude, I'm not interested." *Click* *Sept 23, 2014* So They call my dad up. I tell them he's not home so "Sam" tries to sell his pitch to me. I abruptly interrupt him and say, I'll let my dad now, bye. *Click*

Transformers: Maketoys Giant Type-61 aka Devastator part III of III
![]() |
| Behold! Devastator! |

Earlier on, I reviewed the figures on their robot modes and alt modes. I was amazed by how they have multitude of gimmicks in weapon set-ups. I had the most trouble transforming Scrapper, who goes by the name Wheel Loader in this one. I had one of his legs popped off and had trouble putting it back on. Once I got it back on, I vowed to never transform him again.




When I finally got to Giant mode, it was downhill from there. Was a fairly easy set up and you could pull more gimmicks with his crane and guns to form one cool looking assault weapon. Not that I condone violence. Because of Generation 1' s inconsistency of how Giant (Devastator) was animated, Maketoys decided to come with two heads: One with the eyes and one with the visor. The latter probably being the preferred look by most fans. The cool aspect of the first head is that you get to move his jaw up or down giving him a battle cry type of look.

| Head one |
![]() | ||
| Head two. |
Overall: I think Giant is a good set-up for your generation Transformers figures. Maketoys produced a 2nd run about two months ago, so here is your chance to pick him up if you missed the first run. Unfortunately, he is very costly at $355+. I was able to pick him up a while ago when I still had a job. The figure and his components are versatile all around. TFC toys made a more taller, bulkier and greener version of Devastator named Hercules. However, he is $100-150 more. God bless dudes and dudettes. Until next time....

| Verdict: Thumbs Up! |

This is the end (2013) and the Christian perspective.
So I decided to finally watch This is the end which features Seth Rogan, James Franco, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson and Danny McBride etc...
I understand this is an Hollywood film, but I am merely writing this section just to hopefully reach out to people who want a sense on what is really in the scriptures as opposed to the movie.
I'm still learning to walk with the Lord so I shall do my best in interpreting end time scriptures. First off, what drove me to write this was towards the end of the film, 3 of the main characters are raptured after the rapture occurred. The 3 get raptured because they did "good deeds." But to generalize it, they sacrificed themselves for one another. Don't get me wrong, it is a very noble concept, but I have to be blunt and say that good deeds do not get you into Heaven. The film already had us fooled when Jay loosely reads the bible (revelations) at one point saying that "good people were brought up into heaven." Well, help me on this someone, but I couldn't seem to really find that passage in the book. A Christian website actually said that he mixed and mashed a bunch of verses together. Regardless, our Lord Jesus Christ already told us that:
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." ( John 14:6, KJV)
"Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3, KJV)
The characters at one point did mention the Father, son, and Holy ghost as "Neapolitan ice cream." Okay I guess that is someway to put it for people who don't know about the Holy Trinity, but at the end, they did not accept Christ as their savior. They relied on good works and somehow got raptured. It's a false message once again, or possibly a new age doctrine, to tell people do good and you can get to heaven. First things first, you must be born in Christ again. After the "Neapolitan" argument. Jesus is never brought up again until a mock segment with exorcism of a demon which totally mocks Christ overall. The funny thing is that demons existed in this movie, but by the end of the film, they just totally negated God or Jesus. People want to believe in the devil, but not God I guess. How awkward.
The book of Ephesians state that:
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9, KJV)
Good works come from the Father himself:
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10, KJV)
That is why we give glory to God. Once again:
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;" (Titus 3:12)
"And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. "(Romans 11:6)
You see the bible does mention good works but that is only doing it in faith to God.
To make matters worse (spoilers)
when the three get raptured, they enter heaven and continue to smoke weed and live in Sin. The funny thing is that Christians heard about his film and told the director to put a Heaven scene. The director agreed only to blaspheme heaven. Remember that our righteous acts were like filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). Through Christ we are redeemed and our works is faith based. Good works alone can not get you into heaven unless you are born again. James Franco's character questioned Jay at that point saying "aren't we all good people?" It is a Hollywood deception to have you believe that all you have to be is good and do good to get heaven. No, Jesus is the way the truth and the life. Even after accepting Jesus, he said:
"For whosover shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother." ( Matthew 12:50)
"Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 7:21)
"For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. "(Matthew 16:25)
The last passage here would had helped the movie out had they chose to lose their life for Christ. But the real fact was that the 3 did not know Christ, so they would not had been raptured at all in reality. Remember that even the thief who died on the cross with Jesus accepted him as the one (messiah) who would die for our sins. He was probably the most luckiest guy in history.
I will leave it here. You can choose to accept Christ or not, but just remember that good works will not get you into heaven no matter how noble it is. Works without faith is pretty much dead. You can believe the lies by today's media or follow God. The choice is yours. I'm only glad that I saw this film so that my fellow brothers and sisters may not need to. I wish I hadn't but at least I got to see the lies Hollywood was brewing. Remember, Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
King James Version (KJV)
9 And
he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is
made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in
my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
I am strong through the Lord.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
I am strong through the Lord.

Jesus Christ the same past, present, and future

Vengeance is not mines
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. (Romans 12:19, KJV)
This is something I have to live with everyday. Yes, I had now ex-friends that hurt me by not forgiving me because of past conflicts especially one ex-friend that slandered me and my best friend for no apparent reason. He called forgiveness evil and called us satanists because, well, I dunno. That's how bizarre the situation has become. Most people told me to stop talking to "this man" because they feel he is insane. Had an old friend which is also a ex-friend of "this man" just told me to ignore him. All in all, "this man" has done nothing to rectify the situation. When "this man" is confronted he often tells people that he is just disagreeing with me, but then goes on with his angry rants behind each and everyone of our backs. Do I forgive this man? Yes, indeed! God commanded us to show love but not to become stepping stones! I've gave him one too many cheeks , and now, I will leave this in God's hands. Until this man can drop his pride and repent of his past, I am to stay away from him. Also, remember that forgiveness doesn't mean you have to trust the person who hurts you over and over again. If you don't agree, then that's fine. I don't see why anyone who would disagree has to get upset long term over someone's beliefs or opinion. Again, I will leave this matter to God to handle.
" Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Isaiah 5:20, KJV)
" Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake." (Matthew 5:11, KJV).
""Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings." (Isaiah 51:7, KJV)
"Proverbs 26:4-5
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes."
Sometimes nothing can be done. Some people just want to argue, always must be right or have to be heard. I used to be like that but I realized after coming to God that God was in control. Remember, if the person doesn't hear you and doesn't receive you, shake the dust off your feet and move on. God will have other people come into your life.

Sometimes these thoughts do bother me, but I rather leave this in the lord's hands instead of taking action on my own. Jesus told us to forgive one another and I shall do that. The Lord is in control! The Lord has a plan as always and he has shown the light to another friend of mines recently. Thank you Jesus! What an awesome God we have!
This is something I have to live with everyday. Yes, I had now ex-friends that hurt me by not forgiving me because of past conflicts especially one ex-friend that slandered me and my best friend for no apparent reason. He called forgiveness evil and called us satanists because, well, I dunno. That's how bizarre the situation has become. Most people told me to stop talking to "this man" because they feel he is insane. Had an old friend which is also a ex-friend of "this man" just told me to ignore him. All in all, "this man" has done nothing to rectify the situation. When "this man" is confronted he often tells people that he is just disagreeing with me, but then goes on with his angry rants behind each and everyone of our backs. Do I forgive this man? Yes, indeed! God commanded us to show love but not to become stepping stones! I've gave him one too many cheeks , and now, I will leave this in God's hands. Until this man can drop his pride and repent of his past, I am to stay away from him. Also, remember that forgiveness doesn't mean you have to trust the person who hurts you over and over again. If you don't agree, then that's fine. I don't see why anyone who would disagree has to get upset long term over someone's beliefs or opinion. Again, I will leave this matter to God to handle.

Transformers: Maketoys Giant Series 61 aka Devastator Part II of III
Finished the shoot for the robot modes of the "not" constructicons.
Transform! The "not" constructicons in deluxe size robot mode. Their robot modes look definitely more detailed and refined to their alt modes. That's not saying much. To me Scrapper looks the oddest of the bunch. I didn't recall him having this large chest piece in the G1 series. It certainly doesn't help him here. Hook's head is green for unknown reasons. Long Haul is wide!!!! He is disproportionate in width in comparison to his buddies. He makes some very interesting poses though. In Robot mode, I felt they captured Mixmaster the best. No real opinion here, I just like the look of his grey hood though it was green in the G1 series, so maybe they got his colors mixed up with Hook's head. Scavenger seems to have more of a mouth rather than mouth plate. The bots can utilize and mix and match a variety of weapons. So that is a plus +1 in my book. Next up, the gestalt Giant! Click on the link to see more pics of the "not" constructicons in action.

Transformers: Maketoys Giant Series 61 aka Devastator Part I of III
Well, Maketoys is producing a 2nd run for Giant aka Devastator, so I decided to open mines up (First run). So far the link below will open up the Constructicons in Vehicle mode. I will do part 2 in their Robot mode, then part 3 featuring Giant aka Devastator and final words.
For the vehicles, the plastic feels okay. If you look at the pics, there isn't really anything I feel special about their alt modes. To me it does feel a little cheap. If I had to choose. Long Haul (Wheeloader in this one) looks and plays the best. Though Hooks (Mobile crane -61) crane has a nice feel to it. I can assure you that if you do get this box set, I highly doubt you will keep them in alt mode. My full shoot is in my picassa page link located below the pic. The vehicles modes, imo, are average at best.
For more pics, go to my Picassa page: Enjoy folks!

Transformers: Takara's TG-23 Metroplex arrives! (Non-review)
Finally reviewed: Click on the link

https://iamterenceho.blogspot.com/2018/05/toy-review-takara-generations-metroplex.html
2 months ago, I ordered Takara's TG-23 Metroplex, approximately 1 month after the U.S. release. I bought it roughly for $150 on www.HobbylinkJapan.com, whereas the US version estimated average cost was about $115. I am aware of the U.S. Costco version running at $80, but Hawaii is not carrying it so that sucks and is another story for now. HobbyLinkJapan allows you to hold the item for 2 months allowing you to stockpile more figures within 2 months to save on shipping. 2 months was up and Metroplex (Metroflex in G1 Japan), was shipped to my house. Here are the pics:
So you can see that it is 1/4 the bed size.
