Decisions

2009-03-15T21:16:00.003+08:00

Everyday in your life you have to make decisions. Decisions like "Should I take the cab?, Where should I eat my lunch? Should I tell someone this? and so on". Every choice you make would have it's own consequences and effects in your life. In some point in our lives you'll encounter a "Damned if I do, Damned if I don't" situations and this where this quote comes into play. But how would you decide on this kind of decision?. Every time I encounter this kind of situation I always base my decision on which is good for the party concerned rather thinking which is good for me. So that's why it sucks being me (Hehe!).

Just lately, a February 25 decision is catching up on me. It was choice between a friend whom I promised to be with that day or starting early for a job. Knowing me I chose the friend rather thinking of myself.I really hate breaking a promise i made to someone because I know what it feels like. Just last Friday we were called for an emergency meeting informing us that our start day would be pushed to a much later date which is May. The team was given a choice of transferring to another account or just wait for May which is 2 months from now. As for me i was not given that option of transferring to another account because: 1) I was endorsed to many accounts already 2) In my case i have limited accounts to get into because of certain specifications and 3) I pulled out from a certain account which I could have passed (Based from what they say). So I have to wait for the May start date.As soon as I knew about this, a part of me is regretting that decision I made because I was so close to nailing an account which started March 9. But looking back the regret that I felt just fades way just knowing that I fulfilled a promise and helped a friend along the way. Just the thought of fulfilling a promise just makes me feel better and even more whenever I know that I helped someone.

"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision."
I know I did the right thing because I fulfilled promised I made and not thinking of myself.

June 23 07 DOG Alliance WOE Vid

2007-06-24T21:02:00.000+08:00

Let me introduce you to the DOGs of Tyr server. DOG alliance is formed by 3 major guilds from Odin, namely Demi-Gods, Order of The New Shield (ONS) and Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO). ONS (which is my guild) and GTO formed there alliance during the the Tao Gungka Siege Series which was unexpected by other guilds and even myself because GTO back then were one of our fiercest rivals. Demi-Gods came to the alliance 2-3 weeks before the server merge, thus the DOG alliance is formed. Nuff of the info, here's a short video of our siege last Saturday (June 23, 2007). Thanks to GaMe-oF-Accuracy for the video

NBA Finals

2007-06-04T20:23:00.000+08:00

It's been a long time since i updated my blog, busy with my 2 brothers' enrollment, RPC 07, and my review for my upcoming PEPT test which is on July 30 (Wish Me Luck).

Oh Yeah Cleveland Cavaliers just beat the Pistons for the franchise' first NBA Finals Appearance .As for my Chicago Bulls they were oust in 6 games during the second round of the playoffs, which is opposite from my fearless forecast. Let's move on to the NBA Finals. It's Tim Duncan's Spurs against Lebron James' Cavaliers, It's like a David and Goliath match up. Spurs has everything to win to the Larry O'Brien Trophy, while the underdog Cavaliers have the youth talent and King James to put up a fight against the Spurs. The key for the Spurs to win this series is to Contain Lebron James and let the Cavs play a halfcourt game, as for the Cavs they need to involve everyone in the offense, contain the Spurs' Big 3, and Run for easy buckets.
Spurs will win the series but Cavs can pull-off an upset in this series.

RWC/RPC 07 and Merge

2007-05-07T21:30:00.000+08:00

10 days before server merge and 17 days before agit lords counting begin. With Only a week to familiarize your new servermates, I can say that this year's RPC will be more exciting than last year. More Formidable guilds to face, A new Agit Lord Mechanics and RWC is added to spice up this year's competition amongst the guilds. Just like the NBA playoffs, this is the season where legends are born. With guilds aspiring to be named Philippine Ragnarok Champs, the competition just got even harder. Pressure has risen amongst the guilds of pRO to recruit new men to bring them to glory. Who will rise to the occasion and claim worthy to be called server sovereign?Who will raise the flag of the Philippines this RWC?Who will be worthy to be called the RPC champs?
Let the War of Emperium begin!!! To war my fellow ONS!!! To Victory!!!

Special thanks to Wauks for info about the merge and RPC/RWC07

Nba Playoffs: Bulls Vs Pistons

2007-05-05T18:59:00.000+08:00

It was an interesting first round for the playoffs this year. Warrior Upsetting the Mavs, Bulls Sweeping the Heats out of the Playoffs. Whats Next?!? Cavs winning the title... well that's not impossible. Here's my preview of the upcoming 2nd round match-up between the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit.

Bulls(no.5) VS Pistons(no1.)
Just like the Old times. Back then the bulls was lead by His Airness Micheal Jordan and Detriot was known as the Bad Boys. Fast forward to 2007, Bulls led by Ben Wallace and Kirk Hinrich are going up against Billups' Pistons in this Eastern Conference Playoffs 2nd round match-up. Well either way this team can win the championship with there defensive intensity. Sad to say one of them can only advance to the next round. Bulls have a 3-1 record against the bulls during the season. During those 3 wins Billups wasn't there. It will be the first time Big Ben would face his former team in the playoffs whom he won his first NBA ring. If the bulls wants to win this series they got to force the pistons backcourt into miscues and there young stars should continue with there scoring attack. For the pistons they got to put a bucket against the Bulls Defense
Fearless Forecast: Bulls winning the series in 6 games.

Game Switch

2007-05-02T22:41:00.000+08:00

I just came back from a basketball game here in our subdivision. During that game a recent conversation with my friend pop out of my mind. This friend of mine who used to be my server-mate in pRO(Philippine Ragnarok Online) is keep on telling me that i should switch to another game because ragnarok is already "Laos". Sure ragnarok is a 4 year old game. Yeah, there are other better looking games. And yes pRO is filled with AI. What the hell, i love the game and i vowed to myself that i would still play ro until the time LU! just shut down pRO. I've been playing it for 4 years already and my passion for the game is still there. I met nice friends thru the game. I have a great guild and guildmates. So why would i abandon the game? is it because it's already "laos". gimme a good reason to quit this game and ill quit alright?

Here's a pic of my avatars in RO from odin server soon to be Tyr

NBA Playoffs07 1st round Eastern Conference

2007-05-02T11:18:00.000+08:00

Since this is my first post and this blog is a personal blog of mine. I just felt the urge to write about one of my interest NBA. I've been a fan of the NBA since Micheal Jordan's first NBA ring. NBA playoffs the time of the year where great players become legends. This year's playoffs is thrilling to the fact that we saw unexpected performances from several teams being it's just the first round of the playoffs.

Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat
Chicago Bulls sweep the defending NBA champs the Miami Heat...last time it was done is way back 1957. With the defending champs out... it's safe to say that we will have new champs for this year.

Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magics
There's nothing special here. The Orlando Magics is a young and unexperienced team in the playoffs on the other hand pistons has a wealth of playoff experience to back there impressive line up.Pistons Sweep the Magics.

New Jersey Nets vs Toronto Raptors
Raptors had a great season which is kinda unexpected of them thus giving them the home court advantage against the Nets. Just like the Magics they have the youth and talent to make it to the playoffs but can they stop the trio of Jason Kidd, Richard Jefferson and Vince Carter? As of this writing the Nets leads the series 3-2. My Fearless Forecast: 4-2 with nets advancing to the 2nd round.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Washington Wizards
The Cavs swept the wizard out of the playoffs which is kinda expected from the Cavs lead by Lebron James.
Bravo King James and company!!

Eastern Conference all wrapped up.
On my next post: NBA Playoffs07 1st round Western Conference

I'll be out for now time to go back to rune-midgard nyahahaha
