DISCLAIMER: I've spent many hours of gaming online, but I am far from being a reliable source in the said area. However, something has been happening to me recently and I just want to share the experience.
Last year, my bestfriend [though I don't know if he feels the same way towards me{GAAAYYY}] Raymart and I were really excited when we heard about DotA 2 [was it just last year?]. We went and made our accounts at Steam immediately, hoping that we'll get DotA 2 beta keys. Unfortunately, we didn't know that you needed to fill up a survey first. And we just knew about that survey part this year. Pathetic. But luckily, we got our beta keys anyway.
THE DAY[s] WE GOT OUR BETA KEYS
i played using his account.
met a friend also playing.
the friend had an extra key.
{btw, my bestfriend got it from our friend's big brother}
**now back to the story-telling**
With only about 100 hours of DotA 2 gameplay, I have already seen the beauty of its community.
1. Finding friends
the game creates an efficient environment where you cn easily interat with other plyers. and it kida forces you to find trusted players. i used the word 'forces' because in the matchmaking part of the game, you will have random teammates unless you are in a party. but even if you joined a party, you can't be certain if they are good players. that's the importance of finding friends. you'll be able to choose good players by adding them to your friend list and whenever they are online, you will be able to play with them. i know that many games use this system but the difference is that this is DotA. and DotA is all about trashtalking and bashing. but seeing this kind of system applied on DotA is nothing short of a miracle.
2. Chat
The chatting system is also easy and convenient. while in-game, you can chat with people not participating in the game. its fast and minimal. nothing fancy but complete and solid. it does not open multiple windows but instead consolidated in one and separated by tabs. also, you have the ability to chat without minimizing the game.
3. Commending
another great feature is the ability to commend another player for a great performance. aside from the number of wins, this can also serve as a good basis in choosing your teammates. sometimes, friends just commend eachother for the sake of increasing it and sometimes there are those that really received them through hard work. you will benefit regardless because if the former is true, then that means that person has many friends and if the latter is true, well, no need to say more.
4. Scores
you can choose to participate in a private or public match. if you are practicing and is not that confident, you should play in private mode first. also, this can be a good place to find skilled teammates to play with in the public mode. unlike private matches, public matches will be recorded as a win or a lose and one extra score; 'abandoned'. in DotA 1, quitters were a huge problem as it destroys the fun and competitiveness of the game. and it annoys the shit out of the players that did not quit. it destroys the efficieny. it leads to wasted time and wasted hard work. so DotA 2 added 'abandoned' so that the quitters will be filtered away from those that stick to the game till the very end. the quitters will also be in low priority when doing public mode.
wow... feels like i just made a senseless post.
thats it for now. kbye <.< Labels: #cw, #manic, #random, %english, text

Dahil minsan lang ako gumala, lumabas ako kahapon. Kasama ko ang ilang linggo ko na ring iniiwasang sina Gemoelle at Charlotte, first year hs friends. Kahit na isang taon lang kasi kami naging magkakaklase, ang close namin. :)
So, anyway, nag-MOA kami. Wala naman talaga kaming balak gawin, window shopping lang talaga dapat. Tho, syempre, kumain kami.
Sinundo ko si Gem sa 7/11 ng Pinagkaisahan, Cubao. Buti nalang naalala ko kung saan ang Pinagkaisahan dahil sa 7/11. Nilakad namin from there to Farmers' Market. At 11:30 AM. Nilakad namin. Isang oras late si Lot. Usapan 12, nasa Taft na. Ehdi, isang oras kaming paikot-ikot lang ni Gem sa Metro Point, na super liit, at mabaho.
All is well naman nung magkakasama na kami. Kwentuhan. Walang pinagbago, madaldal pa rin kami together. :) Ang saya ko na nakasama ko sila.
Nag-ikot din kami sa UST. First time namin pareho ni Gem doon, so, amazed na amazed naman kami. Haha. Ang cool ng buildings nila. @__@
Noong pauwi na kami, bilang gabi na at umuulan na, andami naming plano in-case maholdap kami. HAHAHA. Parang nung papuntang UST lang, galing MOA. Nagtatanungan kami kung sinong may mahabang kuko, kung anong gagawin if ever. So funny.
Aaat. Nakakainis. Isang planner na nga lang kailangan kong bilhin, wala pa sa dalawang National Bookstore na pinuntahan namin. :(
I-chika ko lang. Sobra mag-worry si Marcgell. 100 misscalls overnight. Limit na yung 100 na kayang bilangin ng phone ko. Grabe. Natulog lang kaya ako. Aat. Iniisip ko lang, di naman ako naka-silent kagabi. Kawawa siguro roommates ko.

If I was rich, I'd buy lots of shoes. I'd buy lots of clothes. I'd buy lots of other things to make me prettier / cooler. I'd dress up every single day. I won't be the lazy person that I am now. I'd wake up early to do my hair and make-up. I prolly won't party every night. I won't need to be around party people to feel that I'm cool... ish. Money can buy confidence.
If I was smart and wiser, I'd know what to major-in by now. I won't be blogging about this.
If I was a lesbian... Nothing much would prolly change.
If I was born on another time...
IDK why the hell I'm doing this post. No, wait. Actually, I do: I'm bored. I have a lot more "If I was" stuff in my mind, but I'm really not that *bright* RN. I'm short for words. Well, there's another "short" for me, aside from my legs. ANYWAY, random shit.
I THINK. If you guys read my posts diligently, you'll be a lot stupid-er now. I don't recommend you following my blog anymore. :|
AND SO, why the hell am I awake?
I so love my nails RN, but I'd also like to experiment. Oh, what to do?

Am I crazy because:
a. I call Kira-sama as Kira-sama, and not Yagami Light
b. I want to be good at DotA
c. I listen to the Beatles when I'm nervous
d. I watch one MV for an hour when I get lonely (lately, t'was DoraDora)
e. I paint my nails violet, wear violet underwear, and use a violet shirt during Do or Die Exams
f. I have a crazy blog
Encircle just one. Or two if you're good looking.

I really want to write. I want to be good enough that my readers would rather agree or disagree, but never confused. I want to be good enough that people will believe it when I write about the tunnel from China to America. I want to be good enough that the number of words wouldn't matter, it'd still make sense. I want to be good enough that my sentences have variety. I want to be good enough that kids will want to read. I want to be good enough that the blind would demand translations. I want to be good enough to make sense.
By the way, what does raw emotions mean? Are there cooked emotions? Steamed? Grilled? What does raw emotions taste like? Does it taste like wine? Is it grainy like an apple or a pear? Smell like tomatoes, or does it smell like honey?

I realized something while I'm going on with my life... Well, I mean... I always listen to songs when I'm with my laptop. it's either open a playlist on YT, or just use my own playlist. And just now, I realized I'm mentally sorting songs for certain moments of my life.
"Ooh~ date song."
"Walking? Swag mode: on."
"After exams, after exams..."
"DANCE~! I wanna da da da da dance!"
"Striptease~"
I have, like, playlists in my head to play as background music in RL.
I bet it's normal and people everywhere unconsciously do it, too.

I actually have a list of songs I'd like to play in my wedding, and for my future striptease class. I'm going to start a list for my funeral. Kbye. Forrealz. Labels: #update, %english, `me

I think 80% of my total posts are made when I'm down and gray. And as you can see, this is a post about me, not The Beatles.
I grew up listening to The Beatles. My Dad is a fanboy, we tease him about it. Haha. Anyway, as I was saying I grew up knowing it ain't easy, I know how hard it could be. The way things are going, they're gonna crucify me. So, help! I need someone. Yesterday, all my troubles seems so far away, now, it looks like they're here to stay. Help me if you can, I'm feeling down. And I do appreciate you being around. I want to hold your hand. I'll let you be my man, and I'll let you hold my hand. And when I touch you I feel happy inside.
Anyway, there will be an answer. Let it be. They say, don't carry the world on your shoulders. Well, you now. It's a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder. Take a sad song and make it better. :) Nothing you can see that isn't shown. There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.

Public Display of Apology-? WHAAAHAHAAAT?
You can skip this, unless you're Marcgell. HAHA.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry for always bullying you. I've gone too far with too many jokes. I'm sorry for hurting you. I know you're sensitive and I'm being a jerk. (Wow. Looks like I'm the guy in the relationship. HAHA. Okay. See? :| I did that again. I'm hopeless.) I'm sorry for humiliating you more than a couple of times, even online. :/ I'm sorry for not supporting you 140% every single time. I'm sorry for threatening to leave you, more than too much. Thank you for sticking with me, drunk or sober, sick or really sick, and, pretty or not-so-pretty times. I'm sorry I can't say the same. I'm srsly a bad girlfriend. :|
I'm sorry you weren't able to see the Avengers last Tuesday. I know, it's my fault. And, RN, I can't even remember why I did that. I'm srsly one bad case of papansin. I'm sorry.
Our being friends for so long before seems to affect our relationship now. I was always mean to you, always bullying you. Nothing seems to change.
I really do love you. The things I do may not show such, but my feelings towards you are beyond fairytales. I love you so much. I'll behave now. :/ I don't want to make you feel bad any longer.Labels: #cw, %english, `ehem

DISCLAIMER: I've spent many hours of gaming online, but I am far from being a reliable source in the said area. However, something has been happening to me recently and I just want to share the experience.
Last year, my bestfriend [though I don't know if he feels the same way towards me{GAAAYYY}] Raymart and I were really excited when we heard about DotA 2 [was it just last year?]. We went and made our accounts at Steam immediately, hoping that we'll get DotA 2 beta keys. Unfortunately, we didn't know that you needed to fill up a survey first. And we just knew about that survey part this year. Pathetic. But luckily, we got our beta keys anyway.
THE DAY[s] WE GOT OUR BETA KEYS

another great feature is the ability to commend another player for a great performance. aside from the number of wins, this can also serve as a good basis in choosing your teammates. sometimes, friends just commend eachother for the sake of increasing it and sometimes there are those that really received them through hard work. you will benefit regardless because if the former is true, then that means that person has many friends and if the latter is true, well, no need to say more.
4. Scores
you can choose to participate in a private or public match. if you are practicing and is not that confident, you should play in private mode first. also, this can be a good place to find skilled teammates to play with in the public mode. unlike private matches, public matches will be recorded as a win or a lose and one extra score; 'abandoned'. in DotA 1, quitters were a huge problem as it destroys the fun and competitiveness of the game. and it annoys the shit out of the players that did not quit. it destroys the efficieny. it leads to wasted time and wasted hard work. so DotA 2 added 'abandoned' so that the quitters will be filtered away from those that stick to the game till the very end. the quitters will also be in low priority when doing public mode.

The cat loves to purr, and meow, and hiss. She's a very noisy cat, obviously. Kitty loves to sleep, next to her love for food. Food she loves include pizza, pasta, crepes, pancakes, cakes, milktea,burgers, etc. She loves being worshipped. Bow down to me!!! She loves cuddles, unless we're not close, eew don't touch me freak.
This kitty is in-love with a non-reacting bunny. He's always acting cool, and fails at it. He is crazy and loves computers.
This is still pretty much under construction; hence the emptiness.
Adopted Trees.
