When Mods-gone bad

I was finally able to get to play the game again and it was in Sakray.

I even got a Robe of Cast weee lucky me. Unfortunately I think I haven’t played the game toooooo long.

Much to my excitement I went to the Protera Blacksmith shop and paid the local Upgrader a visit.

So +1+2+3+4 I was clicking away soo non-chalantly I even ignored Hollegriems warning of the safe upgrade level.

Then BOOM…My very very new, very very priceless Robe of Cast was destroyed and removed from my equip.

Much to say I was devastated and didn’t think of playing for a while just for my mere stupidity and carelessness.

MakeOver

Today InStyle Magazine graced or office to give a special pamper session to us.

We had free make over, makeup, manicure, fashion consultation and my most favorite. Massage.

So there I was girl who just gained 10 pounds over the last 2 months with a hair with ZERO volume and body so I decided to do a full makeover.

Lets start with the hair. They put some tons of hairspray, some weird goo, shinning serum and other stuff. Plus curled my hair ends and teased it’s a little. Then this sweet looking stylist with weird colored hair you’ll only see in anime says

“ Wanna look more sexy? Your curls will de curl a little later. The style now is the slightly messy look, will make you look more seductive.”

LOOK WHAT?

Well whatever she did to me worked. Because 2 mins later I was standing infront of another hallway which was the massage station and there was his hunky guy beside me. Yes Cute CUUUUUTE. So I smiled a dorky smile ( I had a wee bit of self confidence injected somewhere with those hairspray)

Only to my horror I saw he had a name plate, meaning he was the masseuse (taga masahe)

I just signed up and had no escape, he put me down on the massage bed and worked his OHH GOD OH GOD don’t stop magic.

It was a quick massage but he was some sort of stress psychic. Without asking me fe found a very strained point on my shoulder blades that has been bothering me for months plus I have asthma so all that wheezing has taken a toll as well.

Later on, eating half a salad later from the nutrition salad hall I was called on by inSyle again for my full makeover which was a makeup booth sponsored by Maybeline .

Now Im not really a looker but people know me for my straight har, so I came out really all glamed up and really looking well.

One day of vanity, all over giddyness

Sadness and Tradegy

Saddened and Disturbed

I decided to post 2 blogs today that are not slightly related to Ragnaboards

1 In memorial of the tragedy in Virginia Tech and another about some good things.

Today in the news the long silence of the family child/brother who’s responsible for the Virginia Tech shooting, Seung-Hui Cho has finally found its voice.

They are very sorry for his actions as stated in the news, and imagine the struggles they will face against a very shocked world…the fear of hate crimes and discrimination yet they decided to stay their hold and give a modest and brief speech, something that they can only do.

After all, they did lose a family member themselves.

News link for that can be found at http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070421/ap_on_re_us/virginia_tech_shooting

Now this issue has finally reached the Ragnaboards. Its started with a curious forumers inquiry of the issue and later a small debate that maybe in the long run can cause major arguments, ensued.

Especially in this one Statement

I’m really not the type to nitpick on posters but after reading the blog he posted as well, I cant deny but feel shockingly nostalgic of my teaching days.

I had this grade 6 student. Typical pilyo kid, bully of sorts actually but he had a very fierce temper. I cant forget the time he picked up one of the library chairs to hit a female classmate who was slightly mute ( or chooses to be mute)

He hit me instead. There was rage in his eyes. He was only 13. He felt no remorse, declined to apologize even when infront of school officials.

Fast forward to college, I had a friend, we was very depressed one time in my dorm I remember him gripping a knife behind me. All I can remember was to stay calm.

In highschool I had a classmate who would cuss at anyone who would look at him

And in middle school a female classmate who strangled me. All reasoning left her mind.

Sometimes I would admit with all the horrors in life I saw and experience, I know that I will have a breaking point. The fact I am aware of it makes me have more will power to live my best as much as I could.

I read the “ rabbits” blog. I wanted to see the light that he was trying to blame the society that shunned supposedly Cho. However maybe because the lack of news reaching the Philippines and such. But his wording seemed to patronized his actions more than sympatize the victims.

I feel sorry for both, for him, Cho and the deaths of those 32 kids.

Their families who would never hear their children’s call or see them on their time off. Teachers who could have weaned more promising students who will never give that acknowledging lesson.

All we have now of them are memories.

Going Japanese with RA

I went out last night for happy hour after a longs day work…. And some minor board arguments on sig size yadda yadda.
It was then that we went to a much more modern Japanese restaurant called Ra

A Happy Hour on a Japanese restaurant that was marketing for youngster and yuppies, beating to jRok and latest dance and pop music.

So I wanted to show to you what we ordered
Appetizer: Tempura Coconut Shrimp
Happy Hour meal: Dragon Shrimp Lobster Roll
Small entre: Spicy pineapple Wonton
Dessert: Cinnamon Tempura

I loved the Cinnamon Tempura, it was part cheesecake part Ice cream, part Tiramisu, part dulce de leche cake and light sweet cinnamon cherry chocolate drizzle

New kRO items, and Ragnaboards WFT moment

I found an interesting thread a couple of days back in Ragnaboards about the new cards in kRO that hopefully soon will be implemented in pRO. Below are just some of the cards you’ll see

The link sent me to this Interesting kRO update site

The fact they are adding multiple quests and items should be enough reason to know even though RO2 is coming, RO1 will not die yet despite the released Gravity news of 11 Episodes.

And GM T if you ever get to read this, I got a front view of your Dead king as well

What I love about this site is the fact the will also be introducing present day items to the game like an Nokia cellphone, a Nitendo Wii and some delectable sweets.

Waukeen mentioned before in an earlier blog of his about the pRO Halo Halo.

On other news

If Waukeen and Gm Tristan has LUG WTF moment

I have a Ragnaboards WTF Moment myself

My Boss Goenitz is a legend in both pRO and Ragnaboards as the sharp tongue no-nonsense and yet elusive Moderator of RB

Yet for some resaosn he has ignited the curiosity of some poor unfortunate souls to label him as a girl

And stated in this thread. “ May Chixi din bang Mod”

Much to his horror he has had now stalkers, lover and uhhh ballad singers calling him their wife…and other unmentionables.

Goenitz was gone on some offline errand for some time so when I finally showed him the thread, he nearly spitted coke at his monitor.

Poor Goe-kun, he was traumatized by the fact not only is he labled as some girly girl but the fact he has some…uhh admirers, disturbs him to death. Much of course to the amusement of mods like NWS and Chiyo

Gate of the World Sound Track

I have been a fan of most of Ragnarok Online’s artwork since they were made by great Korean artist like SR. Youkan and UFORANGE.
With RO2: Gate of the World now in BETA state it will be a matter of time that Ragnarok Online 2 will be coming into Philippine gaming territory

What I love more than the stunning artwork concept of the game and the more interactive anime like emoticons/ reactions is the music itself

Yokko Kanno the highly recognized producer/composer of major anime soundtracks and OST and collaborations with other greats such as ORIGA has been well known for her projects like

Ghost In the Shell
Cowboy Bebop
Wolfs Rain
And other Video games like Napple Tale

She is now in cooperation with Gravity making about 90+ songs for the BGM and soundtrack for Ragnarok Online 2: Gate of the World
Noticeable on the element of her music is the strong reference to Celtic instrumentals and melodic chants that are highly popular as well in her previous works.

The Official RO2 Website can give you a glimpse of the BGMS
My favorite being Din Don Dan Dan Fo and Koukai FO.
There is no official CD yet for both the game and the OST since they are still in development but for those who would like to listen in to additional scores of the soundtrack heres a good site with streaming music

A Queen for the King

GM Tristan and I had a nice conversation today in YM. Mostly of me informing him of his imminent death in kRO. After scouring the boards and trying the hell to translate the kRO website for more info
We were able to get a clean English translation of how he will die and will be resurrected

You can Check GM Tristans Blog for more details about the “ Death of King Tristan”

I told him candidly
“ You should get a queen.”
GM Tristan so far has been one of most notable pRO Game Characters who as a king is still a Bachelor with no heir to the Throne.

“ June is coming up anyway it would be good if you can make it into an event”
I was watching The Bachelor last night about 25 women ogling for this hunky Navy Lieutenant/ Doctor when I suggested, why not make the search for the next queen of Midgard. Then with RPC coming soon he can announce who his new wife to be is and even display her on stage on the Finals

One rule though, dapat walang Chixi
Of course….the reason he needs a queen is Pro-Creation
We discussed on possible prizes, an extravagant online wedding, ingame items and yeah model come RPC time.
Given if this would be implemented in due time or if it will be even approved
I told Trisitan, if he decided to have a girl for a daughter or a girl and a boy he can have them marry off next year, perfect for next years event.
Then at least he would not leave Midgard without some Tristarian Legacy

Keeping my fingers crossed for this event

Glorific Blades of Glory

Blades of Glory

After days of anticipation and some ill fated interventions I was finally able to watch the Rumored
“ Oscar Worthy “ Comedy by of Will Ferrel and John Heder.
And every side splitting, macho/gay pun of it was worth it.



I have now new respect for the move the “ Iron Lotus”.
The movie was very clean. There were barely bad words in the script but the pun jokes and uhhhhh crotch holding movies in men and man pair skating made the movie worthwhile.
John heder is a Mormon and he isn’t into films that has a lot of profanity in it.
I cant say more I might spoil the film for those who haven’t watched it yet. But watch it WATCH it
