The 2nd Annual ARTWORK T-shirt Design Competition

I passed by the mall and saw the posters for The 2nd Annual ARTWORK T-shirt Design Competition. I was looking for an e-mail address or website to pass the design but learned that I have to go inside and ask about it so i did.

(I was first pretending to look at the T-shirts) and later I went straight to the counter to ask. She told me that I have to buy the detergent box-looking box with the shirt inside for P80. After thinking for some seconds, i asked my mother to give me P30 because I only have P50 in my pocket. So I bought the box and wrote my name on the notebook.

I got home and opened the box and read the guidelines written on it. The shirt is not white, it is somewhat very light brown or dirty white or beige(?) and for me, that's really nice. I searched for the contest in the web and there's little info about it. But i'm really excited for it. Hahaha. : ) lol.

Now , i have to make a design for two months or so. Deadline is on September 15, 2008. I have to pass it to the same Artwork branch where I bought the box.

Prizes are: (as i remembered, because the box is not by my side right now)

1st: trip to Macau + 25,000 pocket money
2nd: P15, 000
3rd: P 7,000
consolation prizes (7): P 3,000

Also, the contest is opened for the artists 13-25 years old. Yes, go to Artwork now! :P

Naruto 408: Fukasaku's Proposal

408 started with team Falcon heading to the land of Thunder to chase the Eight-tailed beast. Sasuke's team didn't have much problem in seeking the container of the tailed beast because Sasuke's brand new Sharingan eye came in handy. The man they were questioning even though he was ready to die just to protect the container of the beast, didn't stand the powerful eye that can hypnotize. So he told the truth.

While in Naruto's side, Fukasaku (the toad master) invited Naruto to train in the Sage Arts so it would probably be next issue's story. Naruto will be trained by Fukasaku, just like Jiraiya, and I know eventually, he will surpass Jiraiya. They better hurry because Pain's heading to Konoha already.

Nothing too much for 408, something unusual would be the Falcon team wearing the Akatsuki coats. And yes, they did. So they are officially Akatsuki now. I wonder if they have nail polish too, and what specific color. And do you think they have these individual rings too? And who does the nail polish jobs or is this some kind of jutsu for instant nail colors?

I must sleep now, I can't really think well if I am not getting enough sleep. Good night. :)

Nescafe CLickCLique

Have you seen the latest commercial of Nescafe? There was a normal human boy entering college. He entered the cafeteria or food court and he felt a little out of place. The people consumers in the food court are actually aliens. Hmm, I'm not really a fan of aliens, that's why It is a really weird commercial for me. Anyway, it's their idea. I actually understood that commercial when this happened:

I passed by the Level Up site and saw this cute ad from Nescafe.

Running from June 10 - August 10, 2008 is the Nescafe 3in1 ClickClique Promo. Associated with Friendster, here you should make your own alien character and have as many friends as possible in able to win an Apple Macbook Air. For the secondary prize, the 100 friends of the winner will win 1G limited edition NESCAFÉ 3in1 alien USB flash drives.

ADD MY ALIEN! ...Please ----->

Name: Engr. Alien
Only 2 friends for now. Top alien has 1700+ friends. whew. I know it's kind of late for me to win that Macbook now. But i really want a light-weight laptop, that i can bring anywhere...with all those features. I should have known about that promo earlier! I should have passed by the LU site more often. Well, if it's not for me then it's ok. :)

Cabal Servers Problem

Cabal PH has 5 servers as of now: Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn and there are 32 channels in each server. But i'm still wondering why the servers are still jam packed that it is always very hard to enter the game.

I was wondering about the right time to enter. Maybe in weekdays from 1 to 5 PM wherein, the student gamers are having classes but still, servers are full. Not AM, because I can't start my day with games. I' thought of 5-6PM wherein students go home, gamers have a break and eat probably, rest their eyes, etc. I've tried it once and I entered the game instantly.

IF each server has 32 channels that can accommodate 100 players each, that would be 16000 players playing at the same time and that's why it's called massively multiplayer orpg.

Possible Causes:

X New Game – Hey, a quite popular mmorpg is finally in the PH, every gamer's excited to try it.

X Advertisement – Maybe the television advertisement enticed too much players. That advertisement looked yummy.

X Bots – Some players can't resist to use bots. There is a word verification after the login page for bots but i think they still exist in the servers.

I believe e-games is doing something about this in the background. But many players just can't be patient especially if they are Premium users or in the internet cafes. I hope e-games can add another server.

Cabal, finally.

I finally get to play this new game. My downloading in rapidshare changed from a file a day to several files a day so i was able to download the cabal files faster. I unzipped the 1st part and installed. I had a problem with Gameguard and downloading the latest patch provided by the e-games blog solved the problem.

I started playing, i made a random character in Saturn server just to roam around and test the game. My character is a FA. I decided to have an archer because I want a long-range attacker and my dream is to be a buffer also. That was a dream from Flyff where my future RM was stucked at level 12, because of the Smartbro - LU problem. It was not very interesting for me at first (up to this moment). I'm still a newbie here, and these are my observations:

excuse my newbieness.

x In distributing points, you have to decide first because it won't ask for a confirmation, once you add a point it's final.
x Some monsters drop many many money.
x It's hard to get in, especially at night, servers are packed.
x People dance here. lol.

It's really hard to get in. I can probably do some other things.

Why I can't play Flyff PH

I'm still a newbie in flyff (but not very much) and i REALLY enjoyed the game. I had to start over my mage because of the stats distribution problem. So i did and i was making sure the stats are correct. I planned everything. I researched hard about the future second job. I decided not to duel for a clean name. I started selling. I made 5 selling accounts for 5 selling characters. 1 for each job and 1 for quest items. I was earning a lot of Penya with the quest items. but...

One day, i entered Bubble server and I read a message: "Cannot connect to the game please check the network." And it is up to three + months now. So sad. I even called SmartBro, but still can't solve the problem. I just missed the game, my friends, i really missed the feeling of someone buying you stuff. Hehe, and a lot of Penyas.

And i know there are a lot of Smartbro subscribers experiencing this. huhu, Poor us. Why us?!

Update: LU finally had something to say about this. Just check this and do the things that it says. I really don't have the time and will(right now) to do those step by steps. I'll do them someday and I'll update you. If you have the same problem and was helped by LU, please tell me.

Penya - money in Flyff

Naruto 404 - Akatsuki and Falcon

Ok. Naruto 404 reminds me of a page error. Ok, Naruto 404 is better. After eating flashbacks in the last two chapters of Naruto, it's good to see the new chapter showing a real continuation to the story.

First, the continuation of Akatsuki story. Kisame knew that Tobi is Madara, and he even called him Mizukage. Sasuke's team (Falcon) is now teaming up with Akatsuki. Of course, Sasuke's goal is to destroy Konoha by killing the elders and Akatsuki's goal is to get the nine-tailed beast for world domination.

Second, Naruto's, Finally, he knew about his mentor's death and of course he was shocked.

... So, i didn't expect that Sasuke will go with Akatsuki. But i don't know if they will really be a part of Akatsuki. It would be interesting to see them in coats with red clouds, the rings and nail art. But...i don't think so. So, after all, Madara's plan is to use Sasuke. He (Sasuke) is a lot powerful now, He's like the Uchiha's + Orochimaru + Itachi now. But i believe he still have a soft heart. And with all these Akatsuki + Falcon plannings, i think some characters will be dead in the next chapters. I hope it wouldn't have to be Kakashi or Tsunade. lol. And i want to see the others in action like Tenten, Neji and Lee again.
