this made me smile. XD

( i'm not in the picture, why?! T.T )

it's odd that now that i'm getting addicted to lineage2, i'm appreciating RO even more.

after being heavily engrossed in uber 3d graphics, i find it refreshing to go back to the cute and simple pseudo 3d set-up of RO.

and good lord, with RO, i can alt-tab with ease! lol.

still spending more time in L2, though. been playing RO for 4 years now, so yeah, i'm giving L2 its turn. XD

i kind of feel sorry for Method. they're going through what RC went through during its peak time: getting bashed because they are strong (granted, it's true) and they're surrounded by jologs who mock those stronger than them.

my sympathy and their similarity with RC stops there, however.

RC maintained their standards. the guild was not perfect, but it never resorted to foul tactics. 'bastusan na'? you just made yourselves look stupid, after all that high and mighty talk. you are positioning yourselves to deserve every bit of trashtalk you are receiving.

i'm very disappointed.

but to the templars: i'm proud of all of us. we never gave an inch 'just to win.'

talo sila!! talo rin tayo pero ok lang! rofl.



ALWAYS outnumbered. NEVER outfought.

in other news, the past few days i've been downloading video game mp3s, ebooks, and comic book scans like crazy. hooray for piracy!

and the most precious gem i've downloaded thus far: the complete 'lenore: the cute little dead girl' comics!



i first encountered 'lenore' during college. she just captured my heart with just one issue. XD now i have the whole series, yay~

#13 is due to come out july 2007.. hope to get a copy of that as soon as possible. XD

and i found its lj community, too, updated by roman dirge himself:

lenore_comics ♥

he doesn't update often now, though. ~__~

whenever i see this screenie, i do not think defeat. i do not think "oh shi--."

i think of glory.

i think of all we had gone through, to reach this stage wherein a single player can immobilize guilds of enemies.

granted, any other gypsy can possibly do that, after all, that's what the scream skill is for. granted, a few minutes after that screenie was taken, the enemies conquered the castle.

but looking at that screenshot, it truly depicted to me the odds that we are fighting against, and how proud i am to have reached that point wherein a 30-man guild can go against alliances, and die - yes die, but taking with us 3 or 5 of the enemy. that point wherein 30 men can go against 300, and still hang our claws onto a spot in the top 4.

always outnumbered. NEVER outfought.

on another note (and an odd one at that), Method reminds me of Rose Croix. XD with their "Method military law" and their "no trashtalking" rule - but wait, i think they made an exception to that. and never in my days with Rose Croix did we ever claim to be a small guild.

..oh, well then, there you go. the difference is massive, after all. :P

i've changed my layout again. i've finally figured out the S2 system. go me! ~_~

i used art by Luis Royo again. the girl in my default user pic has haunted me for quite some time now, and look: she has this little dragon beside her. maybe i'm just picturing kaida, because lord knows she's been the one on my mind recently.

regarding sponsored+ account, i was checking out the features and noticed that you could make your own mood themes. does this mean that i could use ragnarok online emoticons? that would be great.

here are samples:



i wonder if this is possible? also, will gravity sue me for using them? ._.

broadband internet is coming yay!!

pldt contacted us today and said ports were already available in our area. unfortunately, our application details of four effin' months ago were lost. always a catch. pif. we had to reapply, but if things go smoothly (and we hope to the good lord they do), we will be able to have dsl in two weeks' time. yay!

after siege in ragnarok online tonight, aru spotted orc hero, an MVP boss in the game. he asked me to try and take him down just one time. his knight and my priestess used to take on boss monsters when i was still able to play often.

it's a bit difficult to defeat a boss monster with a knight and priestess; the usual party is composed of a priestess and a wizard or hunter, who deal very high damage, or it takes a party of a minimum of three. i figured that now we've transcended to lord knight and high priestess, orc hero would be easy. well, he wasn't, apparently. the mob got nerfed. before, if you didn't kill the boss' mob, the boss wouldn't spawn any more. this time, orc hero kept summoning more mobs, so that i was taking damage from up to four sets of high orcs instead of the usual one set.

we were able to defeat orc hero soon enough. i was only able to take two screenshots during the fight because i was so busy keeping ourselves alive. ~_~ this was the best shot of the two. it's our first MVP as transcendents. ^^

as knight and priestess, we've defeated eddga, orc hero, moonlight flower, dracula, hatii, golden thief bug, phreeoni, incantation samurai, tao gunka, and amazingly, even lord of death. (good god that one took a lot of resurrections to defeat). we plan to take them on again as transcendents when we get the chance, just to renew our skills. ^^

i was able to survive that fight using dial-up with back-up slim white pots and praying to the heavens above that i don't lag or that kaida doesn't wake up at that time. XD since broadband internet is coming soon, kaida will be the only one left to determine when i can hunt again. XD

edit: i'll contact you soon about chippy and coke. lol.
