Apple Pie

Whenever I eat an apple pie Snow White always pops into my mind. Is this apple pie as good as the one she baked? Did those birds that helped baked the pie washed their feet. I’m weird this way.

Perfectly Scarred

  I remember being told that tattoos are ugly, permanent scars. My dad told me that we were born with beautiful skins yet people wound them and put ink on them to make the scars permanent. Unlike the regular scars that fade hrough time, tattoos are lasting and final. He kept on asking me why people do that to their beautiful selves. We pass by tattooed people and he said that they are stupid and scarred for life.

As I grew up I read about Sundance scars. I read about warriors wearing their battle scars proudly, a sign of their courage and strength. I saw Mel Gibson and Rene Russo admire each other’s scar in Lethal Weapon. Harry Potter had a cool lightning-shaped scar. These made me think, are scars ugly? Are tattoos ugly?

The show Miami Ink features people who want tattoos. Tattoos that represents and reminds them of a loved one, of a life-altering experience, of a lesson learned, of their joys and beliefs.

Tattoos are beautiful scars.

Episode 2: Giga 1 Pioneers Of Novus

   Sabi nga ni Christina Aguilera " Good things come for boys who wait!". Let's make that  "Good things come for boys and girls who wait" kasi Episode 2: Giga 1 Pioneers Of Novus na sa Omnicron!! Ihanda na ang PC sa pag-download ng Episode 2 Omnicron client dahil tapos na ang paghihintay natin!!!

There are 2 ways to get the Episode 2 Omnicron client, via here  or Torrent

Please follow these simple instruction before running the client
- Rename the RF.exe to RF_TestServer2.exe
- Do not use the RF_Testserver.exe to rename <strong>back</strong> to the RF.exe otherwise you will encounter an error. Use a separate folder for Omicron[1]

 Some Q&A:

1. Will there be a wipe.
- Yes. Unfortunately, CCR wants an open beta environment with fresh characters. We know we promised that there will be no wipe for Episode 2 Open Beta (and CCR agreed to this in the past) but due to time constraints, CCR is adamant about doing a wipe. It basically came down to a choice between taking developer time away from Episode 2 development for the main worlds and causing another delay, or launching Episode 2 in Omicron NOW and let players experience the patch USING FRESH CHARACTERS.

2. I heard that Episode 2 comes with its own version of an Item Mall, how will we buy credits for that?
- As Omicron is a test server, prone to bugs and wipes, it would be unfair to charge players for the item mall. We will however be giving out FREE ITEM MALL CREDITS for players to use while testing the new patch in Omicron.

3. Can I have my character in (Nexus/Altrax/Praxis) copied to Omicron for testing?
- We are currently looking into this possibility; we will be announcing this separately.

4. Will my ACCOUNT work for Episode 2: Omicron?
- Yes! No need to create another account for this. you can use your existing account to create a new character and start playing in Omicron as soon as you install the new Omicron client.

5. Since Omicron is a test server and you mentioned that this is Open Beta testing, does this mean that there will still be changes to the final version when the patch launches in the main worlds?
- Yes. Any issues that we may encounter during our Open Beta Testing will be reported back to CCR for fixing on the final version. Changes in drop, experience and PT rates may differ.

6. Now that Episode 2 is in Omicron, is it safe to assume that Episode 2’s launch in the main worlds’ coming soon as well?
- Yes, sooner than you think!

Ale (Nasa Langit Na Ba Ako) - chicha style

Isang araw tumatakbo ako sa Solus
Aking nakita, Brutal Ace saksakan ng laki

Inisip kong mabuti kung kaya ko sya
Hindi ko nakitang may dumating na Cora
Ako ay ni-Hiatus, may Cancellation at Vulne pa

Nung magkamalay ay nasa HQ na ako
Inasikaso ng buffer na pili ng nanay ko

Biglang-bigla na lang, ang chicha nandyan na
At para ‘kong nakita ng angel sa ganda
Kahit nagdedeliryo, itong nasabi ko sa kanya

Chicha, nasa Ether na ba ako
FOTpot, kayo po ba si San Pedro
Ok lang sa akin kung ako’y LD na
Basta't ikaw ang buffer kong kasama
Kaya chicha, nasa langit na ba ako

At pag ka level, niyaya ko syang mag PL.
Tinanggihan nya, eh kasi level 50 na daw sya.

Dinamdam kong masyado’ng sinabi nya
AB ay sinugod lakas nya pala
Ako ay nahulog, na level down ulet 10 percent

Nung magkamalay ay nandun na naman ako
Inasikaso ng Chandra na pili ng utol ko

Biglang-bigla na lang, ang miniM nandyan na
Tinanong ko muna sya kung level 50 na sya
Ang sabi nya 40, ang puso ko’y biglang natuwa
At nasabi kong

Mini, nasa Ether na ba ako
FOTpot, kayo po ba si San Pedro
Ok lang sa akin kung ako’y LD na
Basta't ikaw ang Myrmi kong kasama
Kaya Mini, nasa langit na ba ako 

My Typical Day

The house is awfully quiet without miniM and chichJr’s constant squabbles. miniM is still at Ether, she will be level 40 hopefully within the week and she’ll come home for a 2-week vacation to celebrate her graduation from Myrmidon to Berserker. chichaJr on the other hand is off to a 1-week Armor Crafting Seminar. I have the entire house to myself, bliss!

Today is a holiday, Jylejylani day, but I’d still have to report for work later. I woke up real early so I can savor the day’s birth by eating a big breakfast, sipping a hot cup of coffee while reading today’s Novus Daily Inquirer. According to the Novus Weather Report we will be having clear skies, this is going to be a good CW then. It’s so difficult to run when the road is all muddy and full of puddles.

After a hot bath I left the house to attend the 5:00 CW. Once I got to the RG point there was already a handful or Bellato waiting for the war to begin. Some are lazily smoking, some were practicing their sword moves and some were sleeping under the mango tree. I checked my watch, 2 minutes to go until war. Everybody stood next to the chip as our Councils and Archon gave out instructions. Tension was evident in each Bellato as we wait for the war cry. Battle start! Not a second lapsed and everyone unleashed their power. Some killed STCs, some buffed our comrades but the majority hit the chip without mercy. As the chip’s HP dipped to 35% the Corites started defending their chip. It seems like there was a bigger Accretian troop smashing CCC with such speed that simply means that Bellato was outnumbered. As the CCC chip declined to a dangerous percentage, our Councils decided to try and steal the war from under Accretian tin nose. All troops were commanded to group at s14 and were told to make the move toward ACC when the chip hit its last 10% life. We were not able to complete our mission, Accretia won the chip’s control. I went home splattered with mud and blood, oh well that’s life. I need to prepare now for work.

I was a bit late to clock-in for work, lag eh. I work as a Security Officer stationed at the Solus Eastern Gate Department for >DemonZ< Security Agency. I mainly check bags as they go in and out of Solus Settlement, hand out buffs for those in need, give monster directions to lost questors and monitor the raiding activities.

Nothing eventful happened today, unlike the massive Corite raid yesterday that led to a long list of lowbie deaths. Sure there were some Accretian and Corite raids but nothing that the Repelling Squad can’t put a lid on immediately. One memorable repel today was headed by the lowbie squad. Yes you heard me, a mob of lowbies were able to repel a high level Accretian. It was a fantastic sight, attack of the killer lowbies!!! Even if every hit they made dealt the Accreatian 100-200 damage, they never gave the raider the time of day. The fought, slashed, chopped, kicked, bit, slapped and pinched! They were not able to kill the Accretian but they sure did give the guy a tough time. The Repelling Squad finished the job. Our lowbies are getting fiercer and fiercer!

The day sped by real fast, my shift ended early because, as I said earlier, today is Jylejylani day. I arrived home tired but happy with my day’s work. I heated some leftovers from the fridge for my dinner, read 3 chapters of Harry Potter book 7 and went to bed early. 

OK Fine adik kung adik

 Paano mo malalaman kung adik ka na sa RF?

* Muntik ka na umorder ng Chilo Kebab sa Mr. Kebab (dapat Chelo)

* Empire Accretia minsan ang LSS mo

*Minsan naiisip mo “yabang nito kala mo naka Int +5/+6 Hora”

*Magnanakaw!! Hiatus!! Net Net! Tulong

*4 hours lang minsan tulog mo kasi may date pa kayo ng Pitboss

*Mukha nang Jyle ang mga munchkin ng Mister Donut

*Tuesdays na ang araw ng pahinga mo

*Nung nanood ka ng 300 kala mo nasa CW ka!!! Push push!!!

*Kabisado ng daliri mo kung saan ang QWE sa keyboard

*Ang PC mo sa bahay walang Microsoft Office pero may RF

Heto na heto na heto na waaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!

A few words of caution though:

- We should wait for LUG's announcement as to when we should apply the patch to Omnicron else the launcher will not function. So patience is virtue!
- CDs will be available once the Episode 2: Giga 1 patch is applied to the commercial servers.

The patch can be downloaded from here

Ang Alamat ng Jyle

Nagtataka ka ba bakit ang ibang Jyle walang Mapa na drops?

Noong unang panahon halat ng Jyle may mapa. Armory  213, Armory 117, Haram Stockade, Numerous at iba pa. Ang pag likha ng mapa and likas sa mga Jyle, ang talentong ito ay ipinasa mula sa kanilang mga kanuno-nunuan. Talagang magaling lumikha ang mga Jyle ng mapa, kaya’t di nakapagtataka na maraming Accretian, Bellato at Corite na naghahangad mapasa-kamay ang mga mapang ito.

Isang araw may isang Jyle na nagngangalang Jylejylani ang nagpasimuno ng isang rebelyon. Nilipon nya ang lahat ng sambayanang Jyle para sa isang rebolusyong kontra sa Map grabbing (Map quests).

“Tama na, sobra na, palitan na! Pagod na ako sa mga karahasang dinadanas natin sa mga kamay ng mga questors. Katumbas ba ng buhay natin ang mga mapa na ito?” mungkahit ni Jylejylani.

“Hindi!! Hindi! Tigilan ang pang-aapi!!!” sigaw ng sambayanan.

“Halika mga kapatid kong Jyle, pagpupunitin natin ang ating mga mapa! Maging malaya tayo sa mga Questors na yan! Wag tayo magpatalo sa mga panget na Questors!” madamdaming pahayag ni Jylejylani.

“Mabuhay ang kalayaan ng mga Jyle!!!” Sigaw ng lahat habang pinupunit nila lahat ang kanilang mga mapa.

Umuwing masaya ang mga naghimagsik na Jyle. Lingid sa kaalaman ni Jylejylani, merong mga iilan na naiwan sa kanilang mga tahanan. Hindi sila naka dalo sa paghihimagsik dahil sa himbing ng tulog nila, graveyard shift kasi sila kaya tulog kapag umaga.

Simula noon may mga Jyle na walang mapa, ito ang mga dumalo sa pagtitipon ni Jylejylani. Hindi na nila naipasa ang kaalaman ng paglikha ng mapa kasi ang instructions ay nasa likod ng mga pinunit na mapa. Ang mga Jyle na nakatulugan ang rebulusyon na lamang ang nagdadala ng mapa.

miniM’s Letter

Hi Ate chicha,

Good day! How are you? Who won the latest CW? Any news on the upcoming EP2?

I’ve missed you so much. It is so lonely here in Ether, so lonely and chilly. I do meet friendly people every now and then but it is nowhere near the warmth of home.

I’m level 37 now, I can finally wear the 37 Intense set that you’ve worked so hard for. The Seige Mail is thicker which makes a nice shield from the chilly Ether wind. Have I told you it’s always snowing here? There is always that 3-inch snow outside the driveway that I have to shovel every morning. I so miss the HQ sunshine!

I met chichJr before I boarded the Cartella Flight. I saw her sitting on her stool, a big basket full of bullets and arrows resting on her lap. She was selling them I believe. She really went ahead and became a crafter!

I remember when she was only level 12, she was this proverbial looter! Picking garbage here and there while mumbling to herself how a great crafter she’d become one day. Can you remember the shirts and pants she made us? There were always something wrong with those clothes! Either the pants were too tight, a shirt will be missing a sleeve, or the helmet’s too small. Her sewing has always been a family joke. But look at her now, selling her bullets to our army. I bought a couple of rounds myself and the craftsmanship is real good! I’m impressed!

By the way, in this letter is a document for chichaJR make sure that she gets it. It shows which bootie will break into which after she Hammers them. It will help her a lot with her ammo crafting.

Sending you all my love,

miniM

P.S. Tell chichaJr to craft me some level 41 armor set. I will need them soon, I might be level 38 at the end of the day.

chichaJr crafterlicious

chichaJr is now level 21. I was able to reach this level in a matter of hours. How? I followed my quests! There were times when I’ve already leveled up and I was still not finished with my quest for that given level. When I reached level 19 I was done with my Grumble Quest I went to the Grumble Hook (Ace) at Outpost. That Grumble Hook (Ace) gave me such a great XP boost I leveled to 21 in no time at all! I know the Ace’s damage was a bit higher than the average monster but the XP was sweet! Mental note to self, attack Ace monsters once it turns red.

Maybe another factor why I was able to level up easily were the bullets I crafted and used. I crafted arrows and bullets that dealt elemental damage (Fire/Venom/Ice). I bought the bullet crafting kit when I was about level 15 and crafted along the way. I did not go to the weapon NPC but I used the booties that I looted and crafted my bullets and arrows along the way. I saved time and Dallant. I also noticed that I am dealing a bit more damage when I use elemental bullets compared to the regular ones. I tried to vend my crafted elemental bullets and arrows but no one bought them even if they were reasonably priced. Either it is not well known that arrows with elemental additives can deal more damage or the GEVM are just too popular that they over shadow those other bullets and arrows. I’ll try to create a chart of the crafting materials needed to make a particular bullet on my next posts. 

Magna Carta ver 6

Magna Carta ver 6 took effect this July 17, 2007. It is well and wise that we read the Magna Carta not only to know which acts are not allowed but to also protect ourselves from exploitation.

The Magna Carta is created for our playing safety, to protect ourselves from abuse, to protect others from any possible abuse that we can inflict, and to establish and even playing ground for all members.

If you think you’ve been harassed online, check out the Magna Carta. You might be surprised with the steps you can actually take to make sure it does not happen again.

Let us make RF a better game. I’ve created a sibebar that has links to important sites that an RF player should be familiar with.

CUS Manila!!!!

  The Gateway Internet café was so packed with CUS participants! Raffle prizes were given out, Mamu was at her finest entertaining and commanding the event. The LCD monitors were mesmerizing! We had issues with the server lagging at the start but when the others were asked to log out of the test server everything went smoothly.

There were a lot to do to pass the time as we waited for our team’s match. There were fast food chains around the area, a mall nearby, side walk vendors that has an array of things to sell (I was able to buy 3 pairs of clips, a pair or earrings and a fan), not to mention the café’s 2nd floor that was open to the public’s use.

Too bad I was not able to bring my camera, I had to lend it to my friend who went to Singapore. Jettie’s stunned face as Symour keeled over from a single shot would have been picture perfect!

chichaJr’s Birthday

   I decided to create a new character, a Specialist. A crafter will come in handy for miniM's bullet and armor needs. It's getting harder and harder to find higher level armor sets especially a level 41 set. This is my 1st attempt to take on a role of a specialist and I can’t wait to get all crafty and vendy!

chichaJr (not the IGN) will mainly use long ranged weapons and armors, she will have enough Force and Close Range PTs to use staffs and swords. I can’t wait to craft and vend my ammos. Do you know that specialists are somewhat known for their booty collection? They collect nearly all the loots they get because they need those booties to craft armors, weapons and ammunitions. Next time you sell your Blidends and Loise Mikas to an NPC (rangers pay attention), better think twice. You might need those booties for our friendly neighborhood ammo-making crafters.

Ok, I am all set to collect those Flymns but ss I stepped out of HQ I stopped or a moment and wondered why I felt like something is wrong. Did I forget anything? Whoa wait a minute, I have no “kill Young Flymn” Quest!!! I don’t have a single quest at all! So I guess being a Specialist really is different. I killed a couple of Young Flymns and once I have my level 4 armor set I was off to kill some Stinkbugs and Heavy Wings.

Some great things about a lowbie character:

1)    You don’t have to worry about where you’ll get the money to buy your next armor set and weapon. You just go to the nearest Armor and Weapon NPC and you’ll get the set you’ll need. If you don’t have that much Dallant to spare, complete your Quest you’ll be rewarded with Dallant, XP, weapon and armor. And of course from mobs, you’ll get all sorts of intense weapons by looting.

2)    I adore quests. Killing a number of certain monsters takes my mind off the XP. And the rewards make is all worth my while.

3)    Loots! As a Specialist level 1-30 are the best levels to gather your crafting materials. You’ll find the most basic of materials during these times and those basic materials are essential to train your crafting PTs. So loot, loot and loot some more!

4)    Level 1-20 are PK free. You can run, hop and skip all day long at HQ and Outpost while still leveling without having to constantly check your back for any Accretian or Corite who might want to kick your cute little defenseless butt.

Empire Accretia by is Razorback is #1!!

Woot woot!! Because we, the voters, the texters, the beautiful- handsome-drop- dead-gorgeous- hottest players (ay sumobra ata) made our voices heard and texted like crazy, Empire Accretia hit #1 last July 12 on rock station NU107's Stairway to Heaven 7 countdown . Let’s get the party started!

As a token of the RF team and Razorback’s appreciation, we will get to enjoy 3x PT and 3x drops from July 17 (after maintenance) until July 24. Ohhhhh yeah!!

To download the song click on ->Empire Accretia You will need an RF account to download.
 

4x Drop rate, 3x PT and 3x Mine

4x Drop rate, 3x PT and 3x Mine – what more is there to ask? Oh yeah x2 XP, too bad the Empire Accretia song did not top the charts. The XP boost would have been the enticing cherry on the ice cream.

Even without the XP boost I am still happy , miniM’s slightly disappointing PT state has improved a lot! From a level 25 shield pt, she can now lift a level 37 shield, soon she will be parading her level 41 shield you just wait and see. Her near non-existent range pt is now at a level where she can let off deadly bullets with her gatling gun. She is also 2 PTs away from unlocking her elite skill. I know, I know PL girl.

I have never seen these much people farming like mad at Lures Lot, Jack’s Lot and White hole. And we all know that if there are farmers, there are rowdy players ready to fence off their grounds by killing the other farmer. Looting level is at a frenzy equal only to that of PK-ing level.

Even boss hunters are sprouting left and right! You’ll find players who have long hibernated running like crazy to the boss spawn area. Novus is bursting with life, this is so fun!

I am yet to see more players attend chipwar though. I usually attend the 1pm war and sadly only a handful attends that particular war. Maybe they prefer the 9pm CW, I hope that all the players I see pt leveling and farming will also attend the CW.

Mga 1st

1st bag – Unang bag na nabili ko, nabili ko sa pabalik balik ko from killing flymns, young flymns and wings. Isang bag lang kasi meron sa start ng game eh wala akong mahingian ng pera, so yun… ilang beses ko napuno yung bag ko at ilang beses din ako bumalik balik sa NPC para maka loot ulet. Siguro wala pang 5k Dalant ang naloloot ko sa 1 bag ko nun. Api! Naloot ko na mob ko, na lootan ko na rin ang ibang players, pero sige lang until makabili ng bag sa NPC. After nun mas mabilis nang mag ipon.

1st kill – Unang kill ko is a Young Flymn (malamang). Pero on this case di ako nag cast ng spell. Napatay ko yung Young Flymn sa kahahataw ko ng staff sa kanya. Di ko pa alam na gagamitin ko yung reavers na binigay sa akin hehehe

1st look sa MAU – yung shop na pingalalaruan ko noon walang scroll ang mouse, so isipin mo na lang kung gaano ako nagka duling duling noon. Habang bumibili ako ng pots sa Potions NPC, syet biglang yumanig ang paligid ko at may maingay na stomping sound (naka earphones ako nun so medyo nakakagulat), pag ikot ko ng mouse Ohmygaligashohwow higante! Di ko pa alam na MAU ang tawag sa kanila that time.

1st guild – CARNAGE, ka shop ko kasi sila Amag, Kas, Kaye, Ace at kung sino sino pang unang members ng CARNAGE kaya na extra ako dun. Si MightyPututy pa ang kasabayan kong makipag habulan sa Grumble Hook sa may Outpost. Ito ang guild na binubuntutan ko ang members sa BH. Sweep kung sweep.

1st Brath Killing – for Bellato Nexus. Kasama ako sa party noon. CARNAGE pa ako, together with TOPFLITE, MightyPututy, xAzrayeLx, 66, 99, Mart0n, etc (Sorry sa nakalimutan ko). Di ko alam ang drops pero ang saya.

1st elem – Nasali ako sa BH nila Cerberus at xAzrayeLx noon, Chilo Pit Boss. Syempre kanila ang loots ang lalakas nila eh ako hamak na low level lang nun. Then biglang nag deal sa akin si Cerberus, sabi nya akin na lang daw yun bibigay nya. Ako naman “wow nice ring, kakaibang kulay, light blue at kumikinang pa!” Nag thank you naman ako bago bumuntot sa next boss na ki-kill. Saka ko na lang nalaman na Elemental na  pala un. 15 atk/15 def.

1st step sa Ether – Nagtatago pa kmi sa saya ni xAzrayelx nun. Di pa kasi namin kaya yung mob. Ang lalakas kasi ng Caliana noon at di pa gaano maayos ang armor ko. Jyle ang una kong pinagpapapatay para magkaroon ng map for my quests. Ang lamig pala sa Ether, nakakasilaw din ang snow, pero panalo sa loots at xp.

1st lvl 47 girl Archmage (Bellato Nexus) – First ako na magsuot ng blue-black level 47 girl Mage armor. Ang dami nag p-pm sa akin at that time. Tinatanong if anong level ko na at if level 50 na ba daw ako. Hahaha kakaiba din kasi ang level 47 girl mage na armor, ibang iba sa boy version. Ang ganda! Nung nag level ako halos lahat ng online na member ng Curse guild nag punta sa HQ para makita ung damit ko. Sabi nga nila, 1st time nila makakita ng level 47 girl Mage (see may nasingit pang 1st nila)

… to be continued

The Gift

It has been nearly a week since we started out on this journey, miniM is now level 29 and she has really grown. She is nearly at tall as I, she is getting stronger and better with her sword skills. She is still too impulsive though, running of to catch games and fight monsters without checking the monster’s weakness. There was a time when she dashed off to fight a Crawler Cast without checking if all her armors were in place, suddenly her left shoe came off – she forgot to tie her laces properly. Serves her right, she accidentally stepped on this broken glass, she was not able to fight well days after that. I kept on telling her, a good warrior checks but a great warrior re-checks.

While miniM trains harder to reach level 30 and graduates to Myrmidon, I am facing a little dilemma of my own. I need a lucrative deal to earn enough money to buy an intense level 37 set for miniM. I know that the good Race Manager will provide miniM with an Intense Lance once she’s a Myrmidon so that is one problem off my chest. I need to find a good event, something that will give me some fast cash. I can’t get a part-time job as that will keep me from accompanying miniM on her training, Anacaade is now her training grounds and she needs me now more than ever.

As miniM battles her way into level 30 at Anacaade Settlement an idea sprang into my mind, Boss Hunting. It’s a dangerous activity, I will be battling with the strongest of our race for the priced loots, I can be killed by another race if I am not too careful, but it’s a risk I am willing to take. miniM is growing so fast and at the rate she is going she will be level 37 sooner than expected.

I told miniM that I have a task to go, that she has to take care of herself for a day or two and wait for my return. I found myself amongst the crowd heading towards Thunder Cliff, were the known Blood King Pincer spawns every 4 hours. I kept my ears peeled for news on when the BKP will show itself. I learned from a cantankerous old lady that spawn time is within 90 minutes. Nice, I can grab a quick bite to eat then go straight to Thunder Cliff. As I neared the known spawning area, I can’t help but be intimidated by the competition. There are a bunch of frighteningly strong level 50s, warriors, rangers, riders, enough to make me want to go back home. I have to stand my ground, the success of miniM’s training may very well be on my hands right now. A minute to go before BKP springs to life, I unleashed my Edian's Soul and Sage Force, took a deep breath and waited.

Spawn! Wwaaaa FF FF!!! Fortunately the BKP spawned near me, I might have even been the first to strike it. FF FF! After nearly a minute the Blood King Pincer perished, like a phoenix, to fight again another day…este after 4 hours. I ran towards the loots and will wonders never cease, I had first claim on the loots. I now have some few gems and talics to sell and an elemental tomb listlet(10def/5avoid). This is such a fabulous day! I won’t definitely sell the elem since miniM will surely use it, the few gems and talics won’t cover enough to buy a level 47 intense set, I guess I’ll have to go hunt a few more bosses!

miniM was surprised to see me later that evening, she did not expect me to be back this soon. I told her of the great win I had that led me to the gift I have for her. Her very first elem. I told her it was not perfect and we will try to get her stronger ones. She said the ring was perfect enough since it came from me. I hugged my little sister, I dread the day she has to go on her own for Ether.

Empire Accretia

The tide of war is upon us
They march the battlefields of Novus
On theire heels a bloody trail thus follows
Behold! Empire Accretia.

Beware, you meat! Your flesh is weak!
Empire Accretia

From the clone pods to the albariums
Diminishing the worth of self
They teach them not to feel
The lessons are taught in steel.

Beware, you meat! Your flesh is weak!
Empire Accretia

In the pursuit of physical perfection
Flesh and steel in one unholy union
Technology is the new, chosen religion

A Flymn’s Life

There was once a Flymn named Jokou
Who lived just outside of HQ
He ran and hopped without a care
He feeds on apples, berries and pears

One day he saw a kid
Looking lost and timid
She was looking for something
Maybe he can help the poor thing

As he approached the lost child
She suddenly looked at him, thrilled.
With a flash of light, Jokou died
Off went chicha, her quest she complied

The Quest

So it’s set. I am now officially a baby sitter.

We ate a hearty breakfast, 3k cereals for me and 2k peanut butter and jelly for miniM. Our bags were full of pots, clothes, weapons and spare mid-gems. Pocketing the Dalants that we managed to save, we set off to hunt down 20 Crawler Bunch(s) - miniM’s quest.

I told miniM that she should follow her quests, those are the optimum type of game that she needs to hunt. They give the right amount of XP and the right amount to PT to make her strong. Plus those quests items can be exchanged into weapons, armors and Dalants; such necessities needed for her training. We don’t have that much Dalant, we will need more funds for her training and those quests will come in handy.

Once we are just outside of Outpost miniM chased those Crawler Bunch with her spear with gusto. She did not even notice as I sat under a nearby tree, she was so into dicing and slicing those Crawler Bunches. I can see the sweat dripping from her face, I’m so proud of her then maybe we can make a success out of this training after all. I took a small map from my bag and started to draft where we should be heading next.

I must have lost track of time when I noticed miniM is gone! I started to look for her with panic starting to build in my chest. She can’t have died, those were just Crawler Bunches and the last time I saw her she was handling those Crawlers just fine!

I talked to a nearby storekeeper but she said she hasn’t seen a little girl with miniM’s description. Where could she be! 30 minutes after I finally found her chasing after a Grumble, the little imp. I scolder her for the scare she gave me. She said she’s sorry, she is now at level 19, she was so into  her quest that she forgot all about me. I noticed her hesitation before she showed me her cuts and bruises, it was from the Grumble she said. The Crawler Bunche was fine but the Grumble was a bit tougher, harder to kill and they hit back painfully. I told her that it’s normal for a bigger animal to be stronger and fiercely strike back, she’ll get tougher I assured her.

After I washed and bandaged her cuts, I said a silent prayer for miniM as she chased after another Grumble to kill. Poor Grumble, he won't know what hit him. 

A Warrior’s Beginning

A week ago, after a long and backbreaking Chip War I found myself thinking how inviting a long hot shower will be. I had bruises everywhere imaginable, man those Accretians can really whack their spears at you mercilessly. I am nearing our home when I noticed miniM, my sister, sitting at our doorstep, waiting.

Apparently she was waiting for me, she did not give me a chance to ask how her day went when she started her speech (jeez it was long, my sister’s very talkative). She told me how she wants to go and fight the war with me. How she wants to see for herself how tall and massive Accretians are, and how magnificent a Hacate can be. She has never been outside of HQ, the furthest I know that she’s been to were the outskirts of Outpost. She’s only level 18 you see, a baby. She said she’s tired of chasing those Flyms away from our garden and she’s bored.. too bored.. collecting Ply Blidends aren’t that fun anymore.

“OK fine!”, I said. She’s made her point. But a level 18 warrior can’t go into war yet. I shudder to imagine how a full blown chain rocket will do to her. I told her she needs to train and the training is not a laughing matter. If she is up to it, we will start her training early the next day.

She said she is more than ready and she can’t wait to try on her new level 19 Light Enamel set… toink!

Happy Birthday Ivy!!!

Nag dinner kmi ng mga gelprends, sila Yayen, Teret, Apple, Drei at Aubs. Birthday celebration ni Ivy yun at syempre namumutakti ang flash ng camera buong gabi, what can you expect? 3 ba naman magdala ng digital camera at parang wala nang bukas kung mag kuhanan ng picture. Si Drei nakakatawa, ang sakit na daw ng pisngi nya sa kangiti. Hahaha konting sama mo pa sa mga lakad, Drei, masasanay din ang cheeks mo!

Grabe parang last supper ang dating, may sisig, pinakbet, sizzling gambas, garlic mushroom at chicken (si Yayen di pa tapos pala makipag peace sa manok). Gulong na lang pauwi. Di na nga ako naka attend ng QSP teambuilding (sorry na.. tao lang.. may limitasyon ang tyan!). Umuwi lang ako after dinner, sarap talaga kumain. HAPPY BIRTHDAY IVY!!! MUAH!

1pm CW

Hays talo today, di ko makikita si pareng HSK. Miss ko na ang kwentuhan namin sa core habang nag mimina ako at sya nag s-swat ng mga Cora at Accretia. Sayang talo kmi sa CW, lakas ng Accretia kanina at ang dami nila.

Tapos inaway pa ako ni WaveX, lagi nya akong debuff  wwwwaaa adedo chicha =(

Syempre ff ko rin ng debuff…. pag binato ka ng debuff… batuhin mo rin ng debuff na may kasamang  composed potion at Fine staff… muntik ko na ngang maibato sapatos ko pero wag na.. wala akong extra hihihi.

Ang dami talaga nila… na rerepel kmi sa N20 at napapabalik sa BCC. Ganun talaga ang buhay sa Solus na ibabaw, minsan panalo minsan talo.

Bawi na lang sa 9pm CW, meme muna para lumakas, sabayan pa ng Growee para CB ulet!!!

4 miniway

Minsan ganun talaga ang buhay.

Minsan gusto mo nang ikaw na lang mag maneho ng kotse, umupo na lang sya sa tabi mo at ikaw na bahala na makaabot kayo sa patutunguhan.

Kasi parang ang tagal nyang naka preno, bumubusina na mga truck sa likod nyo ang bagal pa rin nyang mag paandar ng kotse. May karatula ba ng A1 sa kotse nya?

Green na ata ang traffic light, bat di pa rin kayo umaandar? May gas naman ang tanke. May charge ang battery. May babaeng MMDA bang nagpatigil sa inyo? Or naka preno pa rin sya? O baka pareho, may MMDA na may preno pa, san naman kayo makakarating nyan!?

Minsan baka nga maisip mo pa na kung ikaw nga ang magmaneho, bilisan mo pagpatakbo ng kotse baka naman matakot sya, bumaba at mag hanap ng taxi or jeep.

Minsan maiisip mo rin  na sana di ka na lang naki sakay sa kotse nya. May jeep naman. May bus. May MRT. May tricycle sa kanto. Bat sya pa. Bat sa kotse pa nyang ang bagal.

Minsan ganun eh, wala na akong masasabi pa kundi:

Enjoy mo na lang ang byahe. Magpatugtog ka ng radyo, sabayan mo and PCD sa pagkanta at malay mo sabayan ka rin nya kumanta.

Stopover kayo sa Petron, magkape ka muna at kumain ng siopao. Alukin mo sya, baka gutom na rin sya.

Kwentuhan mo sya, magpa kwento ka rin.

Picturan mo ang scenery, picturan mo sya.

Makarating man kyo sa patutunguhan nyo or hindi, umabot man kayo sa destinasyon nyo o mapalihis ng daan at sa ibang lugar pampadpad, ang importante ay nag enjoy ka sa byaheng kasama sya. 

Bad Hair Month… Months?

I had my hair cut this morning and it was disastrous! I even brought this magazine with a picture of a lady I wanted the hairstylist to copy yet my hair did not look anything like the girl in the mag!

He (hairstylist) had a mind of his own apparently, that scissor crazy madman.

I don’t look totally awful with my new hair do, some even said it looks nice (until they see the style I wanted done on my hair, then they’ll do a retake and just stare  ggrrr!!).

Maybe I can wear a hat till my hair grows longer, or pull it up in a ponytail.
