Goodbye valhalla hello DreamerRO

Its been a while since I've blogged something here.

Its eating me. This quitting thing.

I've been planning this for weeks already and I just needed a sign. And it came yesterday. Kim invited me to DreamerRO. Start anew there along with my college barkada (friends). We all are players of pRO before, only now it doesn't work with us-- the "spending" part.

You see I'm enrolled at one of the prestigious art schools in the country... scholar to be precise. But with what I'm facing now, its a big ordeal. Its been months since this problem is bugging me. We're in the brink of losing our financial status. My family is trying their best to keep me here til I graduate. We wouldn't want to lose everything I've worked hard with when I was small.

So many ordeals, all happened during my junior years in high school and college days. This was the serious one.

My former guildmates didn't understand it when I've said "There's no more reason for me to stay here".

I'd take this chance to explain myself. Lucky if one of them finds this and uses this to understand me.

Actually there is still a 'reason' only I don't wanna take it up. Friends. My friends are the main reason why I played pRO. But now, what? I'm on a new guild, still on the alliance but not on theirs anymore. Reason? Issues broke us up. Separated me from them. Me trying to clear out my friend's name. I sided with him. Ended up getting ganged up on. Then started a new life in a new guild.

We managed to patch things up, but things weren't the same anymore for us. I was still friends with 'some' of them, but not all anymore. I've become a stranger. I cannot trust all of them anymore, especially that one who endangered my life when he invited me to this shoot thing. I've trusted him. But maybe because of that issue of me against him and an old friend triggered this, his revenge on me, leaving me out on the open, with holduppers and snatchers around me. Him nowhere to be on sight.

I can still sit and hang in their usual hangout in Prontera, but once they're all there, I'm ignored. Useless really. I feel like I'm just a ghost. Old member to them. Nothing important in particular. Because I'm weak. Poor. A weak sniper.

In my new guild I can do stuff but when it comes to hanging out, I'm left out either. They can do what ever they want. Coz they're 99 and rich. I don't. I don't have the luxury to continue leveling my character to 99. I'm always left out during mod exps and Endless Tower raids. They hang out but usually AFK. And I'm all alone. Lucky if there are visitors, but most of the time none. I've got nothing to do at all anymore. I'm bound with this spending thing to do what I like doing when I'm all alone. Adventure. Exploring the world I love. But because of school and my course, I couldn't spend now for pRO. I couldn't even access the Kafra storage system anymore coz I've spent almost everything just to get to lvl 95. I can't forever depend on my guildmates.

They themselves said it. "You guys are always dependent on us. Why can't you spend and level up on your own". That's true. But I never did depend on them ALWAYS. I did only once, when I was in 2nd job. Few points away from getting a blue aura. But not always. I do level on my own. I have no problem with that. So I'm not taking any bets of having people help me.

Everything's pointless TO ME. And nobody understood that. So I've taken the offer.

I feel bad for Nire. I've loved my character a lot. My guild and server as well. But in this case, I finally say goodbye to her and to this guy who has been my inspiration ever since I started a new life in his guild.

I feel bad, like I've betrayed everyone, but I've decided already. I owe the people in my previous guild. RB. For the fun memories, that will always be remembered. EBs I can't go on anymore. Boss Hunts. For leveling up my character til 99. But that is all

In my case, I exchange Nire for 1B, Sleipnir and a set of boss cards. Traitor? Feel free to say so. Accuse me. But this will be my final decision.

Ragnarok Prontera Theme + Voice


Ragnarok Prontera Theme + Voice

Tagalog version:

Tara Na! (Let’s Go!) - Tagalized Ragnarok Online Prontera Theme
Lyrics by Roland Galicio

Narito ako sa mundo ng Ragnarok
Luma’t bagong kaibigan ang nakita ko
Narito ang mga ala-ala ko
Masasayang samahan

Ilang taon ang lumipas sa mundong ito
Marami na ang nagbago mula nang huminto ako
Lumipat man at maglaro sa ibang lugar
Ikaw parin ang hanap ko

REFRAIN:
Tara na at libutin natin ang lugar
Lugar na ating nagisnan
Kung saan tayo ay nagsama
At tayo ay magsaya

CHORUS:
Halina’t bumalik at maglaro tayo ng Ragnarok
Buhayin natin ang mga pangarap
Tuwing naririnig ko ang tugtog naalala ko
Masayang pagsasama

INSTRUMENTAL

REPEAT REFRAIN

REPEAT CHORUS

Ragnarok Prontera Theme English Version (credits to translated this)

I am here in the world of Ragnarok
Old and new friends, I have seen
In this place I left
memories of happy bondings

Many years have passed in this place
Lots of new changes since I stopped
Although I left and played in other places
I still long for you

REFRAIN:
Let’s go and explore the place
The place we know so well
Where we spent time together
And celebrate

CHORUS:
Let us go back and play Ragnarok
Let us revive the dreams
Every time I hear the music I remember
Happy times when we are together

INSTRUMENTAL

REPEAT REFRAIN

REPEAT CHORUS

Metro Comic Con CSB Edition


Just this wednesday, a seminar was held at our school. It presented different comic artists from the Philippines, be it in the international scene or in the local scene.

The said seminar was held at DLS-CSB's Green Room, at the School of Design and Arts Building. Most of the artists who came are from Marvel & Sketchpadmanila. :) Even the artist who made the Kikomachine (Manix Abrera) was present too. :D

It was really a huge thing for me so I decided to bring along my friend Elvin Neal with me so we could have our portfolios checked and criticized (plus bonus tour at my school XD).

Apparently, he was the 'only' guest there aside from the speakers themselves. LOL. Anyways, the speakers talked about how did they start in their field, from drawing ants and observing the people around them to making it in the comic scene. They also denied that the comic industry here in the Philippines have died ages ago. "It didn't die at all, its just the managing that made it weak. But overall, the comic industry of the Philippines have been thriving, up until now", says Heubert Khan Michael.

They also taught us how to make our portfolios in Marvel Way. :) Spearheaded by Heubert Khan Michael.

Here are the photos from the talk^^ enjoy!

Ragnarok ep. 12: Lighthalzen


Let me share you about my most favorite stories in Ragnarok. The story behind the Lighthalzen city and the Bio labs. Perhaps, it is the most wicked thing I've ever heard of in Ragnarok, using people as test subjects for their own good.

This is one of the main reasons why I am still playing Ragnarok Online. :) Not just a player but an adventurer and researcher. I love finding stuff and stories about the places in this game. ^_^

The following information are taken from Ragnarok PH

Lighthalzen


Five hundred years ago, Zenit Zerter Lighthal, one of the leading scientists at the time, founded the Lighthal Laboratory. The research facility is set on a remote valley in the Schwartzwald Republic . Later on, when the Rekenber Corporation gained ownership of the facility, they bought all the nearby villages and began construction of the great city known today as Lighthalzen.

The city-state of Lighthalzen is divided into two districts, the residential district on the south side of the city and the commercial district on the north side. The residential district's main attraction is the world-renowned Rekenber Hotel, located in the center of the district. The commercial district contains an airship landing strip, the Lighthalzen Bank, various trading posts, and the Alchemist Guild House. More importantly, it houses the Rekenber Corporation Headquarters.

The Rekenber Corporation is the biggest corporation in the Schwartzwald Republic . It is undeniably the driving force behind Lighthalzen, having great influence and responsibility over the city. The Corporation has spearheaded numerous researches and technological breakthroughs for years. These include the development of the Strahlenstein steam engine, which is being used for numerous tasks all throughout Schwartzwald, and the Airship, which has become a major form of interregional transportation in Midgard. But one of their most famous and controversial work is their research on the secrets of life, which resulted in the developme
nt of the Guardians � Midgard's first artificial life forms - said to be much stronger than any human being.

FIELD MAPS

The city of Lighthalzen is nestled in between canyons and mountain ranges, and the terrain around it is rough and rocky. Despite of this, the Rekenber Corporation still invested large sums of money to build and establish the city. The investment paid off, since now Lighthalzen is regarded as the commercial center of the Schwartzwald Republic.

LIGHTHALZEN DUNGEON

Underneath Lighthalzen is the Somatology Laboratory, where most of the Rekenber Corporation's Life Experimentation tests are conducted. The first level is the main research facility, where most of the mainstream researches are done. It has state of the art equipment and also houses accommodations for its resident scientists. The second level is a highly restricted area, where only a few are granted access. This area is dedicated to the more clandestine experiments involving the secrets of life. Here one can find the prison cells where test subjects are confined. The last level serves as a disposal site for the laboratory's hazardous waste materials. However, remains of human bodies from the Life Experimentation tests are also thrown in here. It is rumored that the vengeful spirits of these people haunt the place.

JUPEROS DUNGEON

Underneath El Mes Plateau lie the ruins of the city of Juperos , an ancient but highly advanced civilization. Juperos is well protected by automated guards and security devices to prevent unauthorized entry to prohibited areas. Although many of Juno's scholars have their own speculations on the cause of the fall of such a technologically advanced race, no one is really sure what went wrong. One of the most popular theories is that Vesper Newton, a mad scientist conducting experiments with the famed Heart of Ymir has something to do with it.
