Challenging SUDOKU

Finally... i can play SUDOKU now!!! One of my students in my Eikaiwa class, Nishijima san shared and teached my class today on how to play it and i found it so interesting.
Sudoku is a fun logic-based number placement puzzle. Using logical reasoning depends on player level, player will decide how to place numbers into Sudoku grid. It requires the player to fill in the 9x9 square grid with the numbers one to nine. The numbers should be arranged in such a way that each row, column and mini-grid contains one of each number. There is only one correct answer for each puzzle and no guessing is necessary. A single error in a Sudoku throws the whole game out.
Rules are easy to learn. Although Sudoku grids use numbers, we don't need mathematical skills to solve the puzzles. The more puzzle we, the better we become.
Sudoku was originated in Swiss, first published in America known as "Number Square" and popularized here in Japan and given the name Sudoku meaning single number.

First SUDOKU I challenged (right sheet) from Nakajima san... perfect! ;-)

This game is sooo interesting... perfect when we travel.... while we are waiting and bored ... and on rainy days maybe... lol
It is not only helps pass the time but also keeps our mind sharp coz it stimulates our brain cells.
This game is good for all ages. There are some levels ... the easy, average, hard and the evil level.
Well, I'm just learning now... still on easy level but i am beginning to love this game coz it's sooo fun and challenging... and yes, i think i need this kind of game coz like our bodies ... our brain needs excercise too ... especially not to mention that i am not getting younger anymore ... haiz!!! :D))

Life is short

“This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often.

If you don’t like something, change it.

If you don’t like your job, quit.

If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV.

If you are looking for the love of your life, stop;

they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love.

Stop over analyzing, life is simple. All emotions are beautiful.

When you eat, appreciate every last bite.

Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences.

Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them.

Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself.

Some opportunities only come once; seize them.

Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them,

so go out and start creating.

Live your dream, and wear your passion.

Life is short.”

Fight for it ...

"if you love something let it go, if it comes back to you its yours,
if it doesn't, it never was..."
i could relate to this... ummm but why would we let it go when it meant to be ...
... we must fight for it... never give up ;-)

Have a great year everyone... happy year 2012 !!!
