What Flavour Are You? Cor blimey, I taste like Tea.Cor blimey, I taste like Tea.


I am a subtle flavour, quiet and polite, gentle, almost ambient. My presence in crowds will often go unnoticed. Best not to spill me on your clothes though, I can leave a nasty stain. What Flavour Are You?

Real Life:

We (friends doing/semi-doing ATKINS)decided to have a small BBQ party last Saturday. Since the BBQ season is already over we are the only one there except for those people biking, fishing and kayaking!

Every 10 minutes a train will pass overhead and scared Nathan(turning 1 on October!). I should have taken a picture :) It's really amusing seeing him tightly squeeze his body to the person holding with that terror stricken look. (I should burn in hell but i'm not alone even his parents were laughing). Anyways, we had fun just eating, lying on our backs, laughing under the bridge...

I missed last year's TGS so i'll make sure i make it to this one. This year's will be on the 25th-26th this month!

Excited what Sony, Square and other major exhibitors will show us this year. I'm especially looking forward to Final Fantasy XII, FFVII:AC, and the rumored PStwo (a smaller version of present PS2).

I will post pics from the Game Show later.

If you loved TAR, and you loved having them in the Philippines, it would be a nice gesture to mail them and tell them so, and maybe suggest that they could come back.

There are three easy steps in the Karma Kalabaw Kampaign.

1. Buy a kalabaw postcard from any National Book Store branch near you.

2. Write a message. Maybe "Mabuhay, Amazing Race! Please come back!"

3. Snail-mail to any of the following addresses:

CBS Television Network
51 West 52nd Street
New York, NY 10019

The Amazing Race
World Race Productions
4120 Del Rey Avenue
Marina Del Rey, CA 90292

And now for the nasty bit. I thought of an optional vindication campaign in honor of our friend, The Amazing Kalabaw, and his scene-stealing work versus Colin Guinn on last Wednesday's Amazing Race. Again, three easy steps:

1. Buy a kalabaw postcard from any National Book Store branch near you.

2. Write a message. I heartily recommend "My ox ain't broken, bitch!"

3. Snail-mail to any of the following addresses:

Colin Guinn,
Contestant, The Amazing Race 5
CBS Television Network
51 West 52nd Street
New York, NY 10019

Colin Guinn,
Contestant, The Amazing Race 5
The Amazing Race
World Race Productions
4120 Del Rey Avenue

please copy-paste the KKK particulars on your LJs, and tell your Pinoy friends to do the same? Their friends and friends' friends can do the copy-paste thing din if they're planning on linking up. The faster the dissemination, the better.

/I was owned by the Sea Bonze

The other day i did a Sahagin's Stash quest. Since its a long walk back to Norg i decided to die in the hands of the Sea Bonze guarding the stash...(Once you died in FFXI you have the option to immediately go to your Home Point or wait for 60mins for someone to Raise you... they call this way of travelling "Death Warp")


I patiently waited as the Monster lurks near the stash... Posted by Hello


decided to just go near it...and wait for it to aggro.... Posted by Hello


ouch that hurts! Posted by Hello


God i'm bleeding.... Posted by Hello


tried to escape...maybe this is not a good idea after all... Posted by Hello

/Chain of Promathia release today!

i decided to stop the /*** title.. im afraid i might run out of words


Game Life:

Yey the newest expansion of FFXI comes out today! I'll probably get it on the 18th though. Anyway here's the update details...



Promathia(PC Version) cover... Posted by Hello

Sep. 14, 2004 (JST*) Update Details
*Japan Standard Time

[Event-Related]

A "Chains of Promathia" page has been added to the mission menu.

A new quest to increase the size of a player's gobbiebag has been implemented. A player must have completed the "Gobbiebag IV" quest in order for the new quest to be triggered.

Several new key items can now be purchased with guild points. Using these key items allows players to synthesize a plethora of new, never-before- seen products.
The key item obtainable at the Fishermen's Guild improves an angler's chances of catching certain prey.

The following changes have been made to Ballista:
-A variety of new items can be dug up using the /quarry command.
-When the special rule, "The potency of Sleep will be decreased" is applied in Ballista match, players will gradually build up a resistance to Sleep if the spell is continuously cast on them. This resistance will wear off with time if the spell is not cast on them.
-If the Chains of Promathia expansion pack is installed, exclusive Conflict BGM will play during all matches.

A new activity known as "clamming" is now available on the coast of a certain area.

Two new regions--the Tavnazian Archipelago and Movalpolos--have been added. Also, a number of new areas have been added to existing regions.

Me: What is blog?
Friend: Web log.
Me: *still confused*
Friend: Web log. Blog
Me: Sh*t, sh*t.... Weblog! Blog... i was thinking then it should be Wlog if it's a web log...stupid me....
-------------------


ok my friend cut this from wikipedia... (i can do get it myself but opted not to...tamad talaga)

"A weblog, or simply a blog, is a web application which contains periodic, reverse chronologically ordered posts on a common webpage. Such a web site would typically be accessible to any Internet user. Part of the reason "blog" was coined and commonly accepted into use is the fact that in saying "blog", confusion with server log is avoided."

"What if there's only one person for everyone? ....but mine already died....or not born yet..."

Real Life
I feel really good today but dont know why. Maybe its John Mayer... i was listening to him this morning. I tried listening to Nickelback, Sum 41, Linkin park, Ashlee Simpsons(?) before while commuting but this is the first time i feel very light. Light and lazy lol... I can feel a whole day of netsurfing coming...i hope not...(Note to self: listen to something else tomorrow...)

Game Life
I finally made it back to Bastok and finished the ninja quest. Was planning to level up and mine at the same time but this guy borrowed my field tunic! I still decided to level though. This kunai(a special ninja katana) i got kicks ass. The way your character hold it and the way it slashes those pest bees and worms makes me want to do it real life. (just kidding) I found some mining points while levelling. Mining points are places where you can mine for ores. Just take out your pickaxe and mine away. Youll either get tin ores, silver ores, iron ores and if your lucky a darksteel ore :) if not lucky get nothing and break your pickaxe. There's this annoying guy who keeps on mining the points i found! I said "Damn it! Isnt that rude? are we allowed to do that?" but no response. I tried "Sore ha shitsurei ja nai no?" but still no response. I was really pissed off i finally said "P@ta ka! P*ta*na mo!" no response but im happy. Anyways i ended up levelling up to lvl 3, Ill try to lvl more tonight.

Real Life:
This is my first blog. That makes me a blog-virgin. /blush

It's already 5:52PM Japan time. I was supposed to go home 5:30 but Macel talked me into doing my own blog. I told her i already have my own -> http://diary.jp.aol.com/rrxqqbyxvy/5.html. She just said "ganda. naiintindihan ko sya. puro hapon e!" I told her "See I have one I just didn't know you call it a blog..." (Note: research about blog tomorrow :))

It's my 16th day doing atkins. Though i cant see any difference physically, the weighing scale can't lie. I'm 6 1/2 kilos lighter!! First time in my life i lost weight while trying to. (I did during freshman days but i didn't do anything. I just can't eat the food i prepared for myself... that's back then im a better cook now).

Enough for today. I still need to fix another low-carbo meal, hmmmm probably buttered shrimp. I cooked fried fish with tomatoes and herbs last night it was really great (sarciado lang na walang itlog at may herb hehe). Hoping tonight's dinner come out nice...

Game Life:
Tonight i will try to get the Hojo:Ichi scroll. Im not sure where in the jungle i can get it but i will /shout the hell out of me until someone escort me j/k. Im still a poor level 32 WAR and level 30 RNG so the jungle is not a friendly place for me. After that I will probably go back to my home kingdom Bastok and finish the ninja Quest. Ill try to post pictures tomorrow...

Real Life:
I got a copy TAR 10th episode last night so I'll probably watch it first. I heard they are heading the Philippines next ep. Wish they enjoy it there unlike their adventures in India and Africa.
