Addicted to DEKARON Online GAME

Ronald and I have been playing Dekaron for 4 years now. First server we played was EG Dekaron. We played there for almost a year. The name of our Heroes were sophiaIzzz (Incar Magician), Devilgrave (Azure Knight) and jloscrib (Aloken). Our first Max hero is sophiaIzzz and was a member of a guild called YounGunzInc. Most of the players are pinoy but we were particularly close to a group of overseas pinoy workers in Saudi Arabia. I'm a bit proud being on that guild as you can feel the friendship among players and there was never a dull moment, even if one get killed on battles. 


But, something happened. A GM sent sophiaIzz to prison and said that I was using TELE - HACK, that's when I started hating the game. He posted a video with sophiaIzz using a Tele hack. I was heart broken and disappointed as we never tried using any hacking software just to level up. 


They posted the video on YouTube and so I poured my heart out on how i feel about our character being sent to prison and then got banned. I posted a lot of comments, but they deleted it, so I downloaded the said video and posted it myself. We sent a personal message to the head Game Master and told him about my character, they reviewed it and eventually  freed our character. Thank God!

But, it's not the same anymore, me and my husband lost interest. And eventually stopped playing.


After 2 years, me and Ronald got married and got our own place. One night, I was alone at home with nothing to do and got tired of watching sitcoms, I started searching for Dekaron servers and found DEKARON NEMESIS. I downloaded the game and opened a new account, I then named my favorite hero as SophiaIzzz. She is max now with 2 Birth Rights and Max Rebirths. She is now a member of a guild called RED. I started loving the game again and Ronald got addicted.


We started voting online to get Coins, which are free, so we can buy stuffs for our hero. We then started donating, our first donation was $50, in return we got 28k tickets. We were able to buy max weapons and armor, plus rings and gems. SophiaIzzz became a monster, low level characters started calling her mumu or simply Miss Sophia.


It is fun and exciting, it's a level up and a PVP game. It's through the game where I feel strong and that I can be myself around anyone. Because, they never get to see the physical me. I get to joke around and laugh with other characters. I get to be strong and defend my guild members and even other friends from other guilds. I get to KILL unwanted characters and never feel bad about it. I get to be a winner and not a loser.  It boost my confidence a bit.


It's through the game that me and Ronald get along so much. His hero's name is Devilgrave and he is a Knight. I often call him my Knight in shining armor. Haha, parang fairy tale. My friends on the game knows I'm married and that I'm 27. I have friends who are 14, 17, 18 and some are older than me, ages 30 and 35. 

Here's SophiaIzzz while leveling with IDMBoy..

The 2nd of Fireworks Hunting

Sinulog 2012 was amazing! Although I was only able to get to the streets around 6:00 PM. Almost everyone are already drunk and the contestants are all sweaty. We decided to wait for Ayala's firework display.

We bunked near the Pioneer bldg in Ayala and waited for 8:00PM schedule fireworks display. A bit excited. We got a new tripod and we are looking forward to getting great shots of the fireworks display.

With nothing to do for two hours, we fondled a few settings on the camera and shot a few pics..

So many people waiting for the fireworks!

And then the fireworks started! I got really paranoid as we were directly below the fireworks! Instead of firework hunting, I started to hold Ron's hand and let him do the hunting! Haha.. With the ooohhhss and aaahhhs you hear from the back ground, I hear shrieks, squeals and howls. Hehe, seems like I am not the only one feeling concerned while seeing a few strands of fireworks fall a few meters behind us with fire on them! Yeah! Freaky, huh?!!.

But Ron just laughed at me started shooting, reassuring me at the same time that all is well. Hehe, he never fails to amuse me. Glad to have him beside me with such a romantic time seeing bright colors above.

Here's a few scraps. Hope you enjoy the  fireworks!

this one I like a hundred times!

so colorful!

so many fireworks that came up at one time!!

the sky is full of 'em!

wishing for a wide angle lens, eh?!

notice how big the fireworks are?! That's means we are truly

just below it..

can't help but feel paranoid again.. hahaha!

Happy New Year!

This is the first time that I spent New Year with friends. Been spending it with my family for 25 years! It's about time that I experience New Year away. It was fun as our friend Dorothy is celebrating her birthday (January 1). So it's not just a New Year Noche Buena, but a birthday celebration as well.

Dorothy's house has a rooftop, where we setup the party, I was excited knowing we'll be on a rooftop as I would like to shoot some fireworks. This is my first time to shoot one. I am a bit excited and was glad that I was able to borrow a friend's tripod (mine died a month ago). Thanks AL! You're the best!

It was not easy hunting for a firework display when they just come out of nowhere. Shooting fireworks on New Years Eve needed a lot of focus, dedication and patience. Once you have a focus on a certain firework, another one pops up from behind. And they just pop and pop and pop which left me dumbfounded by the lights and sound and a bit frustrated as I need to adjust the tripod and set a few settings on the camera!  PLUS everyone was shouting HAPPY NEW YEAR! It was one HELL of a PHOTO SHOOT for me.. Haha! FUN but frustrating indeed!

I hope you'll enjoy the pictures. It was one hell of a BANG for me as this celebration was a first of everything!
xoxo

Love Birds in Dumaguete

Hi bloggies! Once again, we visited the City of gentle people - Dumaguete! But this time, we were with friends. We just toured around the City, restaurants, shops and places that are popularly visited by locals and tourists.

It's nice to take a stroll down the Rizal Boulevard at dawn or late afternoon. Or just merely watching people jog, street children laughing and playing around. Tricycles and motorcycles rule the City streets. What I love about it is if a person try to cross the street, a true blue Dumagueteño on a vehicle would stop and let you pass.

Amazin how small things impact your thinking and see everything else on a new perspective. I love seeing women on skirts and heels drive a motorcycle. While going to Bais City, I even saw an old lola, probably around 50-55 years of age drove by on a Honda XRM. Haysstt.. Wish ko lang I will be able to find courage to drive one.


Anyways, Janno and Eden are the love birds I was talking about. I heard they are planning for a wedding (EDEN, is this true?). So we got them to pose for us. ("Di bale na magarasan si Suzuki Thunder, basta okay si camera LOL") It was fun as the two love to pose for the camera.


Janno and Eden, this one's for you lovebirds!

fun + photography

Got invited to a despedida party last Month at Agus Hotel and Spa in Lapu-lapu City. Fun + the bar + picture picture. I specially love the pictures taken by Ron and some of my friends. I call it sexy ladies. Our first try at portrait photography.

The last 2 pictures were taken at Mantayupan Falls last August. It was fun but we need more practice. Ron is taking lessons for free from his photo club at work. We'll post more when we have other friends to pose for us..

Enjoy! Thanks to Jejen, Notepad, Junelyn and Choi. This one is for you guys! Cheers!

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”

“Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.”

“Photography is truth.”

“Photography to me is catching a moment which is passing, and which is true.”

“When you find yourself beginning to feel a bond between yourself and the people you photograph, when you laugh and cry with their laughter and tears, you will know you are on the right track.”

“I wish more people felt that photography is an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting.”
