I want to know the future

I want to know what will happen next, since kGE is out and sanpomiti is there but I really have no idea what's next. I am tracking the patterns. I want to understand, so that I can predict and make a plan. Most of the updates are so far in the future that it's useless. I think I need to research more on the secret of the 5 elements or whatever it's called. All I know is it's a secret.

I want another family

I want to pilot another family. Veterans, Because if I start from scratch, I can't deploy them to the Bahamas Underground Ancient Shelter immediately. The Ancient Shelter pass is really good. You can level up fast there, plus you can get items like Le Blancs, Vampiric Edges and other level 100 weapons.

Ideal setting would be a player who stopped playing and then I'll just be the pilot, just like rachmaninof.

Things to consider:
1. My brother is using the other computer, so can only use it when it's vacant.
2. Ownership is the owner's. I'm afraid the pilot will love the account. I'm already getting fond of rachmaninof... but it's not mine.
3. exebolt is $200. with two constellation fire bracelets inside. Who wants to unlock it?
4. Next family would be level 52. So, maybe will take a couple of days for them to reach vet, and then buy 3 veteran scrolls.
5. I'm getting addicted again. Exit strategy is turnover when the owner comes back. But when will he be back? I'm more GE now than real life, must revert to real life and then enjoying video games on the side.

Math

I want to know the formula for getting the ATK.

Long term

So, I am not fit for raids, nor are my characters fit for PVP. PVE, yes, all I need is a Hrin Buff. The ten hour one is wonderful!!!

Hrin buff plus mystic ampule or scout buffs, concentration and then the angel, I don't know what I'm going to do later without the angel buff, it's so good!

Lineup now is Musk, Musk, Scout. I need the scout for resu, as well as I can't have three outragers. Bullets go out fast with just two.

Another Lonely Soul

Invites

I have 3 google voice invites and 8 google wave invites. I guess wave flopped...used to be so hard to get wave invites

Wordwood

There's a nice website for looking at recipes. It's http://wordwood.merseine.us

I need to catch up on how to get crystal grade 26 and so on. I suppose it's in Zeia.
I assume elite 84 gives crystal grade 26

I still can't tell what it means by level difference yellow, red... I assume when you're fighting a monster that's plus or minus 5 from your level, then yo gain 15-% exp.

Master

I'm thinking of buying a master character but I don't want to support botters, because if I buy from them, they will be encouraged to bot some more.

December 25 in a few hours...

need to find an effective way of spacebaring.

What will happen if I feed the Scout some pet food

What will happen if I fed the Scout some pet food ^_^

Will he be like Pilfurr and Broomy, Pigling and Sith, Rudolph

these are few of my favorite things

Zoom!

Whoa, Musk zoomed! Really love Outrage, and the double exp, and the angel buff. I just press spacebar and they're leveling faster than expected. It's so fun!

Personal: My life is meaningless now. Studied nursing, took the exam, got a US RN license, but the problem is immigration. Had a vacation in the United States of America, would love to stay there, but I could not adjust my status. And I don't want to be an undocumented immigrant. Only way to solve this is to find true love. Like a fairytale, it is like fiction. So, I must survive. Signed up as an agent. I really want to be a secret agent, but I ended up as a sales agent lol ^_^ I am selling condos.

A reminder of my good times, to lift up my spirits during a dim phase:

Next project is to make a Pattaya slideshow.

Machinima is taking a backseat because I want to zoom to master!!

Like a superstar, I want to plug my sponsors lol
The Grand Towers located near La Salle Taft (Vito Cruz), perfect for students, I think it's a great investment, if you want to buy a unit/just want to know more about it, let me know ^_^ my cellphone is 09153751746, my name is Paul

Textm8tes sure if it's fun ^_^

I'm looking for a condo near La Salle

New York was really nice, would love to go back when it's summer and I can see the Statue of Liberty without fog. A symbol of freedom!

Plus, New York! My goodness, surprisingly big, such at the cutting edge of society, something changed, I don't like my change but it is true, it's frightening me, it's making me at peace, it's putting me out of whack, it's making me conclude I'm an evolutionary dead end. No solution in sight. How can I solve it, there is no solution. Solution that I thought of, just kill but I don't want to. It could work, but then, it's like chemo. Would I grow back after all of myself are dead?

Also applied for an architectural job. Must face my fear and just take the exam! I believe any exam, I can pass. Such positive, boastful attitude, I will pass!! ^_^
So then, will be Architect Paul, RN. So incongruent!

I love everything high tech, and it seems the firm is high tech. Hoping to get in.

Really torn between should I just stay here or go back.

end rambling

I'm back and happy to be playing

I'm now piloting rachmaninof family. I don't know when the owner will be back, so I'm assuming control. Rachmaninof is a composer.

The flash game above, it was hosted in geocities, but since Geocities closed, I saved it somewhere but I couldn't find it lol ^_^ Maybe I'll make a new one...

Excited to afk 3 musks later when the 100% exp boost is up.

Will be making machinima but not yet, first have to remove all manners of itunes, quicktime and junk that my siblings installed. Needs to make PC run smoother. I like Apple though, it does the job. Currently liking Bad Romance. Hope it's still popular when I get the time to make it.
Direction right now is sexy...follow up to vacation machinima was ^%$ so made it unreleased. (for the director's cut dvd lol I am having delusions)
(secretly plotting to one-up divinicus blog, i love that blog, so sexy, so must go super sexy hehehe)

I also viewed ashardalon blog often... so props for that.

Also, my voice. It's lower! Happy that adolescence is catching up on me, but now, I can't make the female ele voice anymore lol

Who cares anyways, no one's reading this.

so many things I want to do but so little time, I all I want is to play.

This game is so addicting...

Vacation

Long overdue machinima. To be continued tomorrow or whenever it's done ^_^

I refuse to believe Ge is making my internet go away. I'll install it and just make a video, and I don't care if it's going to be sucky or random, I'll just make one and then make another until I get my groove back and make good videos.

"China Outlaws Virtual Money for Trading" sorta

A bunch of news articles recently:
ZDNetAsia
The Malaysian Insider
Virtual World News

And what analysts thought of it:
SeekingAlpha

Well, I have questions.
What happens to gold farmers for US WoW, will they be affected? They are playing in a US hosted game. I think they won't be able to sell gold anymore.

For violators, what are the penalties? Will it punish the kids or the company?

Maybe gamers will just go to games hosted outside China...
All those free to play gamers who play for long hours to sell the gold they picked up will no longer be able to sell their gold for real cash. What will they do? Will they still continue to play their game? And what about the game companies? They want players to play in their free to play games so that they will exchange their gold for game value cards from rich players.

What game out there doesn't have gambling-like gameplay? And what about all those games in development? Will they change the game mechanics so that it will follow the new law?

Well...gambling. Analogy in tradeable card games: Opening a booster pack gets you random cards. And sometimes you can get a rare card, which you can sell for a lot of cash. It is somehow similar to gambling.

This new law doesn't really affect games outside China. But since game makers make one game and then distribute it to different countries, maybe they will make a China version of their MMO. But then, a treasure chest is part of the fantasy! Maybe they can make everything "cannot be traded, discarded or sold". It unimaginable that you can't trade with anyone, but is that really the case?

It seems farfetched that virtual currency will affect the actual economy, but China just put forth this regulation. Maybe it doesn't affect the economy now but will do so in the future, that's why they stopped it.

The loophole may be the definition that tools and weapon are not currency. So maybe, players can trade in bullets or elemental jewels, perhaps.

The gold farmers might be unemployed. That's surely going to affect the economy. Also, China is going to lose that stream of money coming in from gold buyers. I don't know. From a right or wrong standpoint, it's the right thing to do, but from a money-making perspective, it's not the way to go. Maybe there's another way to make a ton of money that's legitimate.

Or mayeb I misinterpreted this whole thing, because China banning their own gold farmers seem too good to be true.

I think what they want is you can't pay for real food or clothes using QQ coins.

Only positives

Only positives. No more negatives.

Positive thoughts:

I got my license number.

There's a search for a new game.

Sith and the chick pet remind me of silly comics ^_^



comics

Prost

The third card is out ^_^
It's Prost. Short for Prostitute

I see an E and a giant A

I didn't see the A at first.

So far, here are the letters
RA
EN
AE

My guess is Arsene.
Correct or wrong?

Llyod!

Giovanni

I migrated to Giovanni. My new family name is PaulV. My old account, exebolt, is suspended because I did the stupidest thing.

It's painful to think about it. I did it because of the lure of the money. What I suggest is make the constellation weapon prize a non-tradeable item like a pioneering weapon.

I just think of it like I'm in a reality TV show and I just got evicted ^_^

And so, I'm on to a fresh start. I don't know if I am still allowed to play.

It's nice to try out new characters. I'm never going back to a fighter. He can't afk. And it's a good thing I met Gracex. I had the idea from him to use his favorite rifle user. Grace is so good. I've been playing for 5 days now and she's level 75. I used all my quest EXP cards on her, and she's boosting my lowbies triumphantly.

I want to make new videos, but I don't have any ideas!! It's like open category all over again.

I wish their mouths can move. Or maybe they can have helmets so that they can talk and their mouths are hidden. And I wish they can do more movements. Maybe an Andre book 11 ^_^

I don't know for how long I can play. My schedule might change soon.

And so, I'm playing all day long and enjoying the game while I still can.

Everyday, increase my spanish vocabulary: labios rojos is red lips, rojo puesta del sol is red sunset. I don't know when to put an s to words, and when not to.
And then, rojo pezones: red nipples ^_^omg

I want to Increase my Spanish Vocabulary

I want to learn more spanish words. It's always cool to learn a new language ^_^

What I learned so far:
El Tejado Verde - The green roof
Los Toldos - awnings, according to language tools
Pradera de Ceniza - ash meadow, prairie, grassland. Pradera is grassland. So, Ceniza must be ash.
Deprimida - depressed. That place really looks depressing.

And now, a sentence.
La Elementalist tiene grandes seños ^_^ The Elementalist has great breasts ^_^

China Ge to Try 2 New Versions

from : jlmpacific epoch

"The9 (Nasdaq:NCTY) released the free international version of its 3D MMORPG Granado Espada (GE) in a new server farm on June 8. The original game's value-added services and virtual tool mall are not present in the free international version.

GE expects to release a new version, "Dashi Chuanshuo" (roughly, "legend of the master," with new virtual tools and systems in June. "Dashi Chuanshuo" will not be released in the free international server farm."

It's a short article. I don't really understand exactly what it means. There's going to be 2 GE games? I suppose they used the servers from the recently closed WoW.

Hmm, maybe I will try the free international GE, since the article said it was opened last June 8. But the international one isn't the new version, the Legend of the Master... And did I read that right, the virtual tool mall is NOT present... Cash shop is the Virtual Mall, right? And it's not present? Maybe they have ABS there.

And then, I read this from gecommunity

There will be a tourney on June 13 and 14 at the Megatrade Hall 1 and 2.

I really hate this A(H1N1). I know, if ever I get sick, it will be mild and I might not even die, but this flu is making me want to just stay indoors and avoid crowds.

And then, Yahoo Purple.
Greenbelt 3, Lobby 8th June - 10th June (Monday - Wednesday)
Glorietta 3 , Lower Level Lobby 11th June -15th June (Thursday - Monday)
TriNoma, Level 4 16th June - 18th June (Tuesday - Thursday)

Hmm, here I go again, clicking in the China GE website with no idea of what the words mean.
I think this is the international one: http://ge.the9.com/

It has english words such as register, download and activate. The words are still Chinese, not international. I wish I know how to read Chinese.

Umm I don't know how to type chinese characters in the captcha...
So, I suppose it's international for those who can understand it.

Trendspotting:

Microsoft Natal

Plug for Microsoft:

Well, Microsoft just introduced Natal, and since Microsoft also makes Windows, maybe they can make a Natal for PC's, and then repackage online games as fantasy exercise games due to the grind.

Maybe Nintendo will finally cut the Wii's price. Holding Natal's verdict until there is an actual game out.

And then, Dara's palm tree hair ^_^
Coconut!
I am a fan of Dara. In or Out, so sexy.

The9 must really be upset with Blizzard.

Ooh I just realized, since the Natal is a camera, maybe Microsoft is watching.

Compensation

Well, they stopped selling prepaid cards early, and will soon be announcing what they are going to give, because the cards will be useless soon.

And the wording was, use the cards as soon as possible if there are any left.

And then, red tape. Paperwork needs to be done, and it may take 2-3 months before NetEase starts WoW. 2-3 months of lost money.

Clause

So there was a clause added, saying they can delete all accounts for no reason.

I wonder if players' accounts will still be continued when NetEase commences WoW, or will they start from scatch?

I have a feeling all accounts will be gone.

And what is World of Fight? Warhammer?

World of Warcraft China

World of Warcraft will not be under The9 in June 2009.

So, an analyst implied that they might be stuck with 10,000 servers. I wonder what they will do with those servers.

Well, Netease will soon have WoW, but then, they are planning to buy new servers. If The9 planned to recoup the expenses they incurred from the servers in 4 years, maybe Netease will also plan 4 years to get back their money. But then, Blizzard gets a bigger royalty from Netease. Getting back their money might take a longer time.

Well, WoW is old. It's been around for quite some time now. But it doesn't necessarily mean that it will wane in popularity.

I read an article before that said if The9 doesn't release Wrath of the Lich King, then they might go bankrupt. Well, they just lost the whole game.

Mabe they are plannning a new game. Of course they have to come up with something that will be WoW's competition.

Vouchers

I have codes that I won't be using. Hopefully someone will read this and get them...maximize resources..

Thank you To Granado Espada IAHGames

During a seminar

Poolside at the Royal Cliff Beach Hotel

Hard Rock

Pattaya Beach Road. Shaun and I would walk to this road to ride a toctoc. At night, this road is full of people.

The welcoming party. It was dinner.

This was where the exhibits were.

Pattaya Beach

A supermarket

Our TV! I love watching TV

Baggage claim

I thought it was sweet. It was made of what I think is a root crop that was mashed and then it was coated with candle wax to give it its shape. Cute food.

Pattaya InternationalMusic Festival! Rock bands!

Going home...departure area



Thank you to Granado Espada IAHGames and to Linksys.

I had a lot of fun in Pattaya!

I would like to encourage all to join the Trip to Singapore Raffle. It's a trip for two ^_^

So I talked with PurunetonG, but it turns out he's only 12 years old. So I told him to kindly tell his friends, he said they were Astrozombie, Crayonz, Vohn Trappe and luteroPO, who was 19-20 years old.

And then I chatted with SMITHandWESSON. I met him in Island of Fire way back last year, and he still remembers me. He said he has a family, and then he said afk brb.

Anyway, will encourage more people.

It's like the lotto. You'll never win if you don't buy one.

My Pattaya trip with fellow winner, Shaun, was wonderful. I bet the Trip to Singapore will be fantastic too ^_^

I am in Pattaya!

I am in Pattaya!
My day started at 6 am, and then at 7, we left for the airport. I had no problems there. I just breezed though immigration and all the checkpoints. Inside the plan, they served us a meal and I watched the movie, Twilight. A few hours later, I heard the pilot say, we’re starting our descent. So I peered through the window and I saw Thailand!
Suvarnabhumi airport is a nice, big airport. It’s made of glass and concrete and the roof was fascinating. I immediately looked for waiting area 4, because that’s where the shuttle meeting place was. I should be there at 3pm, and I didn’t want to miss the shuttle. For some reason, I thought I would wait for Shaun. But later on, I found out his flight was during the evening. So anyway, in the shuttle, here were other delegates of AdFest. I met Mr. and Mrs. Zatorski who work for a company called Tango. They work for Tango. And we had a chat about advertising. He said they were from Poland, and they were looking for talent. So I exchanged contact info with them. He said he wanted to see my ads ^_^ I also said I and to see his ads. He said it may b inn the DDB.com.pl archives. If I find them, I'll share them here. In the shuttle, there was also an Indian couple from Singapore. They said they were making a video about Adfest ^_^
The shuttle stopped at the Hard Rock Hotel around 4pm. As soon as I got in the room, I rested. And then I went to where I am now, typing this blog ^_^ I explored Pattaya, and I saw a lot of shops. There were restaurants, a supermarket, and an internet café!

At night, Shaun arrived. We introduced each other and talked about tomorrow, the AdFest convention ^_^

Here are the pictures.
Hard Rock Hotel

It was a bit cloudy the day I arrived. The staff were courteous and they were about the same age as I am, so I felt at ease.

The Hotel Room. MJ's ginormous face

The airport. They pronounce it like swanapoon

Nice, looong excalators in the airport

Me in Manila with my IAHGames boarding pass lol

I just took this pic a few minutes ago

Prepping for Pattaya

Recap: I won a trip to Thailand! I joined a contest in Granado Espada, which is an online game.

Hi everyone, I just read Gracex's blog and now I'm making mine ^_^

First of all, thank you to Hrin, Granado Espada IAHGames, Linksys, IMCGames, Hanbitsoft, E-Games CM Aethrin and all the sponsors ^_^

My family is exebolt in Rembrandt (exe from the filename and bolt from firebolt, Harry Potter's broom). Recently, I've been joining Undertaker raids since I became an All Stars recruit. And I've also have been AFK in the Bahama Marshlands frequently. So if you see me there, and you are from the formidable E M I N E N C E faction, please don't kill me lol hehehe I know it's PK so I understand. It's all part of the game.

I'm going on a trip to Pattaya! It's on the 18th! At 10:30 am! I must not forget hehehe

I have prepared a lot of things but I still need to make sure that I am really prepared.

Initially, I bought new clothes, new socks, sandals, boardshorts and a T-shirt. And then I asked my Dad to get my passport from the safe so that I won't ask for it at the last minute.

I printed out the emails. It contains the e-ticket, the printout for the shuttle and the one for Hard Rock. I will make photocopies for my family so that they know what's going to happen. They want to go to Thailand too, but they decided not to hehehe I'll be in Thailand with fellow GE friends.

I bought a new phone. It's a basic one, and I will set it to roaming. Thailand has GSM 900/1800. My phone will work there, I hope. I've also given my phone number (+639073192002) to my whole family because it's a new number. I just lost my phone, so that's kinda sad. I miss my Moto SLVR. Tremendously!

I'm afraid to be lost in a foreign place :-)

What else did I prepare?

I dusted off my luggage. And then I did some walking and chin ups. We might go swimming at the beach in Pattaya. But I'm not really fond of the sun! Maybe if I will go swimming, it's during the morning when the sun isn't so hot.

And I will also bring a set of formal clothes. These are slacks, leather shoes, black socks, a belt, a long-sleeved shirt and a tie. I don't know if we need to wear formal clothes during the AdFest. CM Aethrin advised me to bring them. I'm worried the shirt will be wrinkled.

I will also bring a camera and rechargeable batteries plus the charger. Ooh, must not forget the charger for the phone too.

I'll put them all in the bag. I want to pack light. I'll just bring 5 sets of clothes since the trip is for 5 days.

Plus my pocket money. I'll bring extra just in case there's an emergency. And the terminal fee too. I don't know how much the fee is in Suvarnabhumi airport.

I need to know basic Thai too. I don't know how to say hello or how to greet in Thai.

Computer. Well, I don't have a laptop. That's going to be a problem.

Thinking of what to get for the Granado Espada delegates. Maybe I'll bring food and a little trinket.

Online friend Markdavid gave me tips about Thailand. I think he has been to Thailand. Thanks, Mark. Oh my gosh, you won again!? A new phone! Incredible ^_^ (This guy always wins something, from MTV goodies to a Nintendo DSi to movie theater advance screening tickets to cellphones!)

I want to give shout outs to my in-game friends rachmaninof, xRiskbreakerx, Bonita, All Stars Yogen, ReiZeiTei, MonkeyInc, and everyone in my new faction, All Stars.

To MarcyDarcy, I wanted to text take care going back home to California. I lost my phone, and I lost your number too.

Hi to Jetzen, Josh ^_^ Please watch my video hehehe: link that leads to Granado Espada's webpage featuring me and Gracex

I read this, thanks to Fiksdotter family for the feature.

And this, from Ge-Trianna. Thanks for featuring my Boyfriend Girlfriend machinima.

Patronus and DeSanggria, thanks for the interviews.

Le Conquistador UT raid, thanks.

Fellow constellation weapon winner, MizunoSan, thanks for the ST squad.

All constellation weapons and Elite Le Noir and Adelina's Booty Search winners, congrats.

lol I just made an acceptance speech, I've always wanted to do that ^_^

Something exciting and similar: Granado Espada has another all-expense paid trip promotion. This time, it's a trip to Singapore! Read more.

Internet problems

I am frequently disconnecting. Can't play.
Disconecting just at moments when entering a Boss's lair, or before a boss apears, or right after I am talking with someone, or if I just made a trade involving a big ticket item.

I cannot play.

Granado Espada Prizes

I'm featured in a web article! Head on over to the article in Granado Espada

I recently went to the E-Games office to claim my prize. The E-Games office is located at the 4^th Floor of the Podium in the RCBC Tower. It’s a nice building. I met CM Aethrin, DeSanggria and Sonny Carlos, the GE Product Manager. And they congratulated me for winning the Fantazztic Ads Awards. I received a T-Shirt, a small pen connected to a retractable rope, and Granado Espada Red Packets. I gladly accepted them. And then, CM Aethrin suddenly attached a small sticker on the plastic bag of the T-Shirt. It was code for a Christatus! I was delighted. DeSanggria interviewed me, and I tried my best to honestly answer the questions. I’m not used to being interviewed, and with the spotlight on me, I just answered the best way I can. I can remember some of the questions, but I have to rephrase them in my own words. Some of the questions were: who among the other contestants did you think was your competition? So I answered the previous winners. The Reclusion team, DeSanggria added. I said that they have a reputation already of making great videos, so it’s like there is pressure on their part. What I meant was, it’s like defending their title. Going back to the question, who I thought was my competition, I also answered Tokoyoshi, because he is already an established video maker. Another question was, which among the ads aside from mine did I think was great. I said there were too many, and pinpointing on just one was difficult. After much thought, I agreed when DeSanggria mentioned Tokoyoshi’s Blood Donation ad with Catherine saying “Are you Pregnant?” That was funny. Then I was also asked, among my ads, which is my favorite, aside from those which won. I said, the Play Like a Monster. At the interview, what I wanted to convey was that it wasn’t finished, because it’s hard to capture the monsters in Fraps. And I would have liked to have featured more of the unique monsters in Granado Espada. I said there are some funny monsters in GE, like the Pink Lips in Bahamas, or the gorilla with a dandelion on his face. I thought those monsters have a comedic touch to them, but they’re also monsters that can kill my characters. And then there was also a conversation about how I made a lot of videos, and how did I get the ideas to make the ads. I thought, I made a lot of videos because it’s my chance to learn how to use the programs, and at the same time, maybe get something. And I didn’t know much when I first started making videos. So it’s like I’m practicing making videos. I would proceed with one ad, and then finish it, and then move on to the next. What I wanted to say was, it’s like art. You can practice drawing, and then you draw some more, and eventually you’ll get better at drawing. I also said I just make the ads for fun, and then when I was having a hard time explaining, CM Aethrin added that it’s the passion. That’s the right word to describe it, the passion. If I may explain it further here, my purpose was to have fun making the ads. So I didn’t worry if maybe what I did was too unconventional or too weird. I just wanted to have fun. As for the ideas, I didn’t come up with the ideas instantly. Sometimes, I would leave ads unfinished, and then a few days later, I would suddenly get an idea of how to finish it. Another question was if I would do more ads or videos, will it still be advertisments. I said something similar to: if it’s fun, I’ll do it. I said it may not be advertisements anymore, but it’s going to be using GE as a way of saying thank you. I didn’t want to limit myself to just doing ads. Although, come to think of it, making ads are easier because they are shorter. And by the looks of things, making ads are definitely fun J

And then we proceeded to the photo shoot. It was simple. They asked me to bring beach wear, and I did. It was silly and fun to do, so I did it. They gave me a boarding pass, and on it, it said Pattaya, Thailand. That’s when I finally realized, I am really going there. It seemed unreal before that. I knew I was going, but the realization really sinked in when they gave me the envelope containing the documents for the trip. I was given the e-ticket, and the instructions for the transportation from the airport to Pattaya. I also recieved the document that I need to show at the Adfest. I’m really going to Thailand ^_^

Claude

Everyone seems to have a Claude.

So I'm levelling one too. Left him at 71 35%, now he's 52%.
Expert Ele is boosting him. Just the two of them. I wish Claude will level up faster.

Maintenance today. Later, so many things that I could do. I could go to AT to train the Scout. Or to FT for Claude.

4 Socket Tranquilizers failed yesterday.

I have a small face. Shiny forehead.

Anyway, what to do...master first or family level first?

I wish I can win the lotto.

Sorry

I want to say sorry to Mahoney, Yogen and Bonita. What I wrote was wrong. I know I have hurt all of your feelings, and I regret writing what I said.

Problems

Made someone furious, made someone very upset.

Adfest Academy, must bring 3 works, I didn't save them on discs. They're all on YouTube. I don't know if they have Wi-Fi there in the venue, and if they have laptops there that I can use to show 3 ads.

Got a text the other day. It's about Domination III. So I went to the domination website and found the new things. Also, there's an event on March 13 at Lawrence Arcade.

Adfest Academy

I got an email. It said I was eligible to sign up for the Adfest Academy. It's a chance to show your three works to the gurus of advertising. So I signed up, because it's first come, first serve for the first 60. I hope I get in.

I'll show Bee, Show and Upgrade maybe

This experience will really be fun ^_^ The idea of going there is beginning to sink in. Just today, I bought sandals. And getting fit for the beach. Oh my goodness ^_^

But I'm like an outsider. I have no advertising background. I'm just a viewer of all the ads I see on the internet, on TV and so on.

I don't know what comment they will say in the Adfest Academy. What if they say it's mediocre or I've seen this before.

Must get rid of inferiority complex.

Over in GE land, been AFK today. Found out why my computer is disconnecting after a while. It's a power saving feature of Vista. What the heck. So all this time, my AT pass and selling in Auch was wasted because the hard disk shuts down and the LAN card is switched off. Observing now if it will still disconnect.

As for the Palermo Bracelets, well, I have to wait until vet chips are affordable. If ever they will become affordable. Maybe it will, but not soon I guess. Been advised by the faction to chip them myself.

All I can say is, the Constellation weapons are a blessing and a curse at the same time.

As for family level, I think I'll just buy experts. Saves time and electricity. But then, that's big spending. Estimating 18 Experts will bring me to Family Level 30? But then, if I train them myself, I just need to bring them to 100.

As for my NCLEX exam, well, I have to study.

I want to juggle playing, studying and preparing for the trip. Can I do it? I don't know. If I focus on one, then maybe that will succeed, but if I do three things at the same time, maybe all will fail. Must hone skills in multitasking.

Maintenance today

It's maintenance.

Will be gone from 18 -22 March.

Today is the 8th?

Reading about the economy is depressing. I wish times were like back then when companies were rich and then there were no problems.

Estimated time of world economy revival: next year? who knows...

I hate camping, I wish camping was fun. I wish there was something to do that's worthwhile while waiting for the boss.

Things to do:
1. Greenhills with Maricel on the 15?
2. Follow up on BLS training
3. Reread book. I wish I can flip and read instead of playing. Addicted again.

I joined All Stars

I joined All Stars. They asked me first.

Since joining, I gained 1 x Sword Breaker and 1 x 100 Chip. And I have given 1 lightning orb and 10 fire orbs to the faction.

Things to do:
1, Chip Palermo's Fire. Problematic. Buy vet chips or get rhodolite. This prize is going to make me poor.
2. Pump up family level. Takes a considerable amount of time.
3. Expert the Fighter. He's almost there. 10% is a blink of an eye, but why is it taking forever. 92%...8% more. 7% ...
4. Expert the Scout. He's nowhere near expert.

Decided on keeping the scout only because of Riff. Was considering another Ele.

5. Master the art of AFK. I need to just press the spacebar and walk away. I keep on coming back to see how they are doing.

Leveling up is an impediment to making vids. And I need to study.

Things to prepare for Pattaya:
1. Airport fee - Php700. Plus airport fee of Suvarnabhumi.
2. Get a briefing on Thailand. I have a delusion of grandeur that I'm a secret agent being sent on a mission.

Things to do to get rich:
1. Sell stuff - witch hat, bear costumes, ocp, rings, 92 equips, rotd keys
2. Be on the lookout for deals

Thoughts so that I don't forget:
1. finish the dance. problem: how to make them move
2. speakerphone, I don't know...still like the song though
3. waterslide

I would like to thank CM Aethrin and his coworkers. I visited their office recently.

My Expert

Started December 2007. Two years later, my first expert. The Elementalist. She is now ready to accept two fire constellation bracelets.

Second runner up is the fighter. I really don't like playing with the fighter. He's just weak and moves around so much that if I afk, soon, the trio would disband. But he's what I have, so I have to make the most of it. The fighter is level 109.

The third one is the scout: 102. Blame it on getting distracted with playing with M'Boma, Kurt, Angie, Catherine and the Musketeer.

Yellow Pencil

A yellow pencil is used in school.

It's also the name of a D&AD award

"The D&AD Awards offer the creative community the opportunity to be judged by its harshest critics – its peers...Winners receive the highest honour possible – a Yellow or Black Pencils"

So that's where it came from. I thought it was a funny name ^_^

Looking for experts in Gio...or maybe I should stick to Rembrandt.... Imperial Army is gone

Philotas recognized me in Gio...

FAA

I will just post facts. I won't post anything like oh this ad doesn't deserve to win because of this and that. Just facts.

The ads are more than 30 seconds.

Viki appears too young to give blood.

Now, the reason why I withheld my criticisms was because I felt it's impolite to critique on other people's works. Who would want to say bad things on something that someone did with their full power and talent? It's unethical to say nasty comments.

I left that judging to the judge.

But I've changed now. I am giving feedback now.

I don't want to turn into a nasty person making nasty comments.

Well I didn't win any awards

Well I didn't win any awards, so I guess my ads aren't good. I was going for innovation, with the volcano and the planet vid, because I didn't want to copy anything or be ordinary, but I guess that's not what the judges were looking for.

Speaking of copying, two people just made dancing videos for Linksys.

More commercials for exposure

I enjoy making commercials. Making one is sometimes hard and sometimes easy. Once I come up with an idea, I start to work on it. There are times when I get stumped and can't move forward in the storyline. That's when I take a break. I go outside and just do nothing, and eventually, I'll be able to think of the solution to the script.

I constantly refresh the forum quicklink and see if there are any new threads. Sometimes, I get my idea from the forum.

It's raining now, so I have to wait for it to stop before I can record my voice. The rain would be heard in the background if I didn't wait for it to stop. Maybe I can incorporate that background noise as part of the ad. I don't know, maybe it would work.

My right hand hurts right from all the clicking that I've done. It needs to get some rest.















What I have learned so far: back to basics, get more rest

Things to do: finish more of book. Halfway already. Must commit time to it. Need to adapt on how to easily recall stuff.

Bee

I am tired.

Listing for exposure

Things that I need to adapt to: there will always be noise. I don't have a soundbooth.
Lessen reading forum and devote more to production. And studying. And sleeping. And cleaning.

In other news, adsense is 40.

Giovanni or Rembrandt

Giovanni - well, it's fun because everything is cheap.

Rembrandt - I already have near experts.

Maybe I'll stick with Rembrandt.

Fighter maximum:
+7 Elite Le Noir 3 DR
what weapon? Maybe a sword, for equites.
What sword? One that needs a Dragon Heart.
Plus, get a phantom guard 2DR for flexibility. I can equip the shield and unequip it as the need arises.

Elementalist:
+7 Elite Le Noir 3 DR again --- oh well
What bracelet?
A Black Bishop?

High level weapons, I'm not even familiar with them.

Problem: what to choose for a third character?

I want to strengthen vertically instead of horizontally. What I mean is focus my strength on 3 main characters, instead of training many characters and then getting equips for them and ending up with just mediocre weapons.

What I already have: vet musk, vet scout, vet kurt, 100 karja, vet mboma, vet cath, vet angie... feels like I wasted so much resource instead of just focusing on the main team. well, I did focus on them and ended up wasting a lot of chips...

I might be leveling up the musk. Or, look at what I already have.

I already have armors for scout, wizard and a bone frame.

Problem: the Wizard, I kinda don't like the girl wizard, and the same goes with the male...

Solution: Trade +6 to another +6

Oh well... Maybe I should just take a break again. I really have to. Need to study.

March 2, if pass, then I can GE as much as I want, if fail, oh no. Must study so as not to fail.

Plus, IELTS.

Prove It

Notes:
Neighbor's dog is too noisy. Must time voice capture when it's not barking.
Limited voice range.

Missing Premium Buff

I am here at the iHooked Recto branch.

There is no premium buff.

Wasted: fare going here and back home, time and money.

My membership has expired. It has been 1 year...

Also, wanted to vet Giovanni characters. I guess they won't be vet soon. Alternatives, I must find.

Same goes to Rembrandt trio. They are so close to becoming experts.

Attendant said there were many who asked about it. She said the main office hasn't updated them about it yet.

List of Internet cafes with supposed Premium Buff: link

More info: link

So that won't have to search for these pages again.

There is no more Club GE week in the Machinima Fantastic Ads Awards.

Before leaving, was able to show to the manager the IAH website about the Club GE and that their branch is one of the participating branches of Club GE. She gave what seemed to me as a genuine response to look into it.

Donate Blood

Getting Claire in Giovanni

So I was stuck at Claire's quest in Giovanni server. I don't have an elemental jewel. But then, it struck me, I think I know how to get one, but it involves G-Points.

The other day, in Rembrandt, I opened Claude's Crates and was able to get an elemental jewel from one of the crates.

In other news, Giovanni seems to be more exciting because they are raiding all the bosses there. I want to participate in that. But first, I have to be vet. Currently at level 73... It's so hard to level up.

And, was able to answer January 3 and 4, 2009 Red Dot Design Museum, without the typo, in Rembrandt. Of all the crucial moments, I made a typo in Giovanni.

Also made an advertisement for the Blood Donation event. Youtube

I've donated blood before though... once is enough perhaps.

2009, it's a New Year.

Over at Rembrandt, I have near experts.

So, a dilemma. I think I will be playing wherever it is enjoyable to play in.

There's an iHooked Las Piñas.
