My Blog Revamped!

After going through a number of layout change and months of stagnation, I decided to reboot this blog. There's not much to see here as of the moment as I only take the time to edit stuff during my free time.

Sad to say I had to trash my supposedly new blog because blogger has more free features. What I have to pay at wordpress I can get for free at blogger. And I hope it stays that way! Haha.

Some of the features aren't working yet and `will update in time. ;)

Brownies!

My birthday gift to one of my best buds, ging Lhove..
Had nothing to post so I just uploaded this. Haha!
Been really busy with work lately that I don't get to do my hobby - drawing. I have this sketch that I had with me for years and I still haven't finished it yet. I always plan to complete it every Sunday but I only find myself sleeping all day. :D

Ciao~

Where is ZX Lotus Now?

One month has passed since ZX Online PH was shut down. Weeks before that, many of us were already thinking what game to transfer to. When ZX closing was announced, our master Chris told us to try out the new game about to be released by PWI. Initially, several clanmates downloaded the game client and tried it out. But I was among the ones who stayed with ZX til the last minute. I was not ready yet to try a new game. It would seem like having an instant new boyfriend after you just broke up with your ex. ;p

Anyways, I downloaded Heroes of Three Kingdoms after a few days. I tried it out and at the beginning found it boring because there was no talisman feature! So I went back to playing ZX even though I was the only person online in our clan. When there was no choice left, I went back to HOTK.

Luckily, my former clanmates were eager to teach me every step of the way namely master Chris, Richard, Lenin, Johnver, Jule, Mots and Aldrin. I began to love the game. There were lotus too who were there but did not last and moved to Jade Dynasty instead. Very few were left but we were joined by new recruits coming from different parts of the world - mostly Pinoys too.

I know that the original members of ZX Online Lotus Clan were divided between HOTK and JD. But the people I come to know more are in HOTK. And I hope some of those in JD would transfer too BUT that may just be wishful thinking. There are some things in HOTK that seem too hard for someone who got used to the friendlier features in ZX.

With my ForeplaY family, all of them returned to RF Online - my real life buddies that is. I can never really miss them as I see them almost everyday in our tambayan cafe. XD But the name "Foreplay" has been carried on to HOTK with Aldrin as the head. ;)

We may not be together, but you will always be in my heart. ♥

Goodbye ZX.. and Lotus..

Merely eight hours ago I was happily doing Battleground with some of my clanmates until a world chat hit me hard in the face. It said that ZX was closing down in five days. Naturally, my reaction would be "just another rumor". But the player confidently said to read the forums for the official announcement. I quickly visited the forums both frightened and worried about what I was going to see there.

When I saw the latest post to be coming from a CM, I felt a quick stab in the heart. I read the thread over and over again to absorb if what I was seeing was real. "We are closing ZX Online within 5 days".. This took me a few minutes to fully understand those words.. I know this was going to happen, but its sudden announcement was what I could not believe.

Closing ZX. At the sight of these very words, I felt close to tears. It wasn't because of the money, time and effort I spent in game. Neither what I was going to leave behind. But WHO.

My gaming experience in ZX Online will never be comparable to the other games I played for one huge reason, The Lotus Clan.

A lot of people in our clan became my friends for more than a year. There are some whom I've known since we were lowbies in the game. But there are clanmates too who were new but I was able to mingle with them for some time. Sadly, we may not be able to find a game that will have us all in the clan play together.


I'll miss the game, but I'll miss the players even more.

Thank you Lotus for everything. Words are not enough to express how much I grieve for its loss...

I will be making some videos about ZX and Lotus..

Guys' Rulebook

I recently joined a group in Facebook named as OFFICIAL GUY'S RULEBOOK - [Women...take note please] and I found it to be somewhat funny and at the same time very true. All the time we might complain that we can't understand men. This may help you better understand them and prevent fights in the future.. (I suppose!) :P

It's about time us guys got together to make a stance...Finally, the guys' side of the story. We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. Women...These are our rules!..ADHERE TO THEM!!

[Please note...these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!]

1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. "Yes" and "No" are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it woman!!!

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor baby.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it WILL be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...honest baby.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as footy, cars, or the female nipple.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape......”Round” IS a shape!!

1. Thank you for reading this. (Yes hunny, I know...I have to sleep on the couch tonight)

...But did you know men really don't actually mind that? It's like camping.

Dudes/Dudettes...Invite as many women out there to join this group to potentially save a lot of relationships! It’s all about understanding us blokes....

Spread the word......

True aren't they? :P
