March 28, 2009, by driving with his wife from their home in Underhill, Vermont, Captain Phillips is ready to be the captain of Maersk Alabama, an unarmed container ship moving from Salalah Port, Oman, to Mombasa through Gulf of Aden which is a location known for the pirate activity off the coast of Somalia. In the middle of their journey, Captain Phillips can see through his binoculars that there are two skiffs look like approaching them. To find out if they are pirates who try to hunt their container or not, he orders his crew to change a little bit of their direction and the two skiffs are indeed following them.

Phillips deceives the skiffs by acting he is calling for help from air military causing one of the skiffs turns back. But in the next day, one of the skiffs, led by Abdulwali Muse, comes back to hijack the container with his three crews: Hufan, Bilal and Najee. The pirates are equipped with complete guns and start to shoot the container crews. Captain Phillips orders to spray them with high-speed water with their ship hose. It can hamper the pirate's plan but unfortunately it can not stop them. They install a ladder to the ship body and climb up, to take control the ship with the guns in their hands.

The Captain orders his crew to hide in the engine room while he tries to negotiate with Muse and his gang. He offers them $30.000 saved in the ship's save and they will consider nothing happens. The pirates ask more. They ask 1 million dollars from the ship crews' insurance. Muse tell that he is the captain and orders the Captain to bring him to the engine room, which he does not know is the place where the crews are hiding. The crews have turned off the engine so most of the parts of the ship are dark. One of the pirates get feet injured so badly in the engine room so Phillips offers to help to heal him. They go back to the control room and Muse is left behind in the engine room. The dark room is taken as a chance by Phillips' crew to attack Muse to ransom their captain and they will bring the pirates a lifeboat, too. 

Captain Phillips tells them where the lifeboat is but the pirates asks him to tell them how to use it. His crews have prohibited Phillips to follow what the pirates ask but Phillips is on his own way. He follows the pirates to enter the lifeboat and gives them the explanation in how to run the lifeboat. Unexpectedly, Muse stabs him and now he is their hostage; something he has emphasized to his crews not to happen.

***

Richard Phillips returned to Vermont on April 17, 2009 and was reunited with his family and on July 25, 2009, the captain went back to the sea. Whereas Abdulwali Muse, the only pirate survivor, was convicted of piracy as is currently serving 33 years at the Federal Correctional Complex, Terre Haute, Indiana.

The Real Captain Phillips and the crew of the Maersk Alabama

Had been declared as the first couple winner of 74th annual game by Capitol, Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark spreding love in the air of the whole 12 districts. President Snow saw that as a threat for the continuance of Panem regime since people started to realize there was still hope for them which the regime worried  would happen a revolution. Panem desired to rid Katniss of as she was the role model for the people to start hoping, but in a right way because now, she is the attention centre. Not to mention President Snow couldn't be lied that Katniss' and Peeta's love story in Hunger Games arena was only a scripted act.

Snow announced a special Hunger Games, the Third Quarter Quell, where all tributes would be selected from previous victors. From District 12, Katniss and Haymitc were chosen to be sent to the arena but Peeta volunteered himself to replace his place. This game was arranged to make people believe that Katniss, the source of hoping, was not someone they could believe in. She would kill her friends in the arena, too. And for Katniss, the game was arranged to desperate her and of course to kill her. And the first step to do so was by killing Cinna right in front of her eyes.

The remaining rival tributes had found where Katniss and the gang were and at that time Johanna attacked Katniss and slashed her hand but ensured her to keep lying without sounding. Johanna then run to distract their attention. Back to the place where they would run their plan to make trap by manipulating the cruel artificial weather, Katniss found the unconscious Beetee and Peeta was lost. When Finnick came, she almost shoot him but Finnick calmed her down, reminded her who the real enemy was. Katniss attached the remaining wire to an arrow and shoot it into the arena forcefield as the lightning hit, causing a power failure that took down the dome's forcefield as well as the Capitol's surveillance.

Katniss awakened in an aircraft to find Haymitch, Beetee, Finnick, and Plutarch Heavensbee, the head Gamemaker, who was revealed to be a rebel against Snow. He told her they were bound for District 13, headquarters of the new rebellion, and that half of the tributes were aware of the plan to escape with Katniss, as a symbol for the growing rebellion. They were unable to rescue Peeta and Johanna, who were taken by the Capitol. A distraught Katniss was sedated after attacking Haymitch. She later awakened and found Gale by her side, who reassured that her family was safe but also told her that District 12 was no longer exists.

The Hunger Games takes place in a nation known as Panem, established in North America after the destruction of the continent's civilization by an unknown apocalyptic event. The nation consists of the wealthy Capitol and twelve surrounding, poorer districts united under the Capitol's control. District 12, where the book begins, is located in the coal-rich region that was formerly known as Appalachia.

As punishment for a past rebellion against the Capitol, in which a 13th district was destroyed, one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district are selected by an annual lottery to participate in the Hunger Games, an event in which the participants (or "tributes") must fight to the death in an outdoor arena controlled by the Capitol, until only one individual remains. The story is narrated by 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a girl from District 12 who volunteers for the 74th annual Hunger Games in place of her younger sister, Primrose. The male tribute chosen from District 12 is Peeta Mellark, a former schoolmate of Katniss who once gave her bread from his family's bakery when her family was starving.

Katniss and Peeta are taken to the Capitol, where their drunken mentor, Haymitch Abernathy, victor of the 50th Hunger Games, instructs them to watch and determine the strengths and weaknesses of the other tributes. "Stylists" are employed to make each tribute look his or her best; Katniss's stylist, Cinna, is the only person at the Capitol with whom she feels a degree of understanding. The tributes are publicly displayed to the Capitol audience in an interview with television host Caesar Flickerman, and have to attempt to appeal to the television audience in order to obtain "sponsors". During this time, Peeta reveals on-air his longtime unrequited love for Katniss. Katniss believes this to be a ploy to gain sponsors, who can be critical to survival because of their ability to send gifts such as food, medicine, and tools to favored tributes during the Games.

While nearly half the tributes are killed in the first day of the Games, Katniss relies on her well-practiced hunting and survival skills to remain unharmed and concealed from the other tributes. A few days into the Games, Katniss develops an alliance with Rue, a 12-year-old girl from the agricultural District 11 who reminds Katniss of her own sister. In the meantime, Peeta appears to have joined forces with the tributes from the richer districts. However, when he has the opportunity to kill Katniss, he instead saves her from the others. Katniss's alliance with Rue is brought to an abrupt end when Rue is killed by another tribute, whom Katniss then kills in self-defence with an arrow. Katniss sings to Rue until she dies, and spreads flowers over her body as a sign of respect for Rue and disgust towards the Capitol.

Apparently because of Katniss and Peeta's image in the minds of the audience as "star-crossed lovers", a rule change is announced midway through the Games, allowing two tributes from the same district to win the Hunger Games as a couple. Upon hearing this, Katniss begins searching for Peeta. She eventually finds him, wounded and in hiding. As she nurses him back to health, she acts the part of a young girl falling in love to gain more favor with the audience and, consequently, gifts from her sponsors. When the couple remains as the last two surviving tributes, the Gamemakers reverse the rule change in an attempt to force them into a dramatic finale, in which one must kill the other to win. Katniss, knowing that the Gamemakers would rather have two victors than none, retrieves highly poisonous berries known as "nightlock" from her pouch and offers some to Peeta. Realizing that Katniss and Peeta intend to commit suicide, the Gamemakers announce that both will be the victors of the 74th Hunger Games.

Although she survives the ordeal in the arena and is treated to a hero's welcome in the Capitol, Katniss is warned by Haymitch that she has now become a political target after defying her society's authoritarian leaders so publicly. Afterwards, Peeta is heartbroken when he learns that Katniss's actions in the arena were part of a calculated ploy to earn sympathy from the audience. However, Katniss is unsure of her own feelings and realizes that she is dreading the moment when she and Peeta will go their separate ways.

Quoted from KucingKita, drh. Neno WS explained that At least there are several versions of a cat with a human age comparison, namely:

I think I 'prefer to believe' the possibility given by the second statement. Because in the number one, Bul is too young to  give birth and in the last statement, she is too old to do so. I can't believe she has had a kitty now. As for me she will be forever a kitty. When I saw her belly got bigger and bigger, I worried and thought "are you really pregnant, Bul? A kitty like you? Pregnant?" 

About the kitty's daddy, by the way. I think he is the one Bul hates the most. A cat Bul always growls to every time he tries to come near her even it's not something he wanted to do; he just wanted to pass by. Bul would scratch his face or if he was not that lucky, his butt would be bitten. Lol. It is what people call malu-malu kucing -,-"..

Finally I can finish this game. Seriously it is the most STRESSFUL hidden object game I’ve ever played. My blood pressure got higher when playing the first two acts of the game. Lol. So dark and the firefly-hint buttons are rarely found. Almost never, I mean. Too many procedures and puzzles. I read some reviews by some Campfire Legend trilogy players and they looked like being disappointed by its end, but I didn’t. It ended not as great as I expected but at least it had a CLEAR ending.
It had the creepiest atmosphere among the whole three episodes which scared me so badly to play it in the night, alone in my bedroom. But the noisy from my mommy and younger cousin really pissed me off because this game required HIGH concentration, so I decided to move into my room and close the door. Play in there.. alone. Oh, the graphic was indeed.. not the worst, this episode DID need the creepy scenes everywhere. I just think Last Act had ugliest graphic compared with the beautiful scenes The Hookman had and the cute appearance The Babysitter offered. No matter what, they are creepy!!

In The Hookman, the game had story about an experiment to bring death to life by Dr. Hookman which he wished to make it success to his children. He kept his children’s spirits deep in a cemetery but the experiment was failed. People around their living know what he had done so he needed to move into other place. That was Stillwater Mansion where he continued his experiment in its secret underground room. Then in The Babysitter, a family with their twin daughters, Maggie and Libby, moved into that mansion and the parents hired Lisa to babysit their twin daughters for one night.
Maggie who had bad act, purposely pushed her twin sister fell from stairs while they were playing to death. Dr. Hookman used his experiment to the dead girl whom he considered as the replacement of his children. The experiment product was a serum which should be injected continuously to the participant which actually was not perfect yet. Lisa who wanted to help Libby at the first place precisely had being the next victim of experiment participant. Since that night, people never saw her again.

In Last Act, Reggie, Lisa’s sister who is the friend of the girls who surrounded the campfire to listen to their campfire tales in every beginning of the game, got small accident on her way to join her friends when she and her friend wanted to evade their car in order to not hit a girl crossing the road. There, they visited Stillwater Mansion and found Lisa’s diary about the tortures she got while being the mansion’s prisoner.
The diary then being the clues for Reggie to stop the chained-torture for an experiment to bring death to life which had killed so many girls. Her searching to find the way to save her friends who actually had been being kidnapped and locked up in that mansion and surely to help herself to be able to go out of the mansion led her to the answer who was someone should be responsible for the whole things, and it was other than Dr. Hookman.
