Maundy Thursday
OMG! 
This was the most jam packed night ever. The people swarmed to the beach even it was past midnight. There were people everywhere you looked and you need to excuse yourself from other party goers to reach the stalls.
Almost all the stall holders this summer were friends. But I like most is how Manong’s group serves their patrons. Beach style! They gonna give you a skim board as your table and a mat or a blanket to sit on 
. Plus their service and sales talk was good. Constantly chatting with guests (as most of them are friends) and offering us more beers or pulutan.
Anyway it was a night to remember. I want to see Nasugbu Beach this alive every summer night. Woot! Parteee! 
Good Friday
It was 8 am when I got home. I slept at the beach. Had a lot of drinks last night. Got back to the beach around 9 pm or so. The beach was not packed as last night. Not a lot to talk about except I had drinks with Gina, Toffee and then later, Yaye joined in. 
I didn’t won Toffee’s yes to join me and Tropang 2G summer pilgrimage to Puerto. It was 2 years in a row. /pif 
Black Saturday
Allan, Tuge, Marco, Lenard, and Bon were in Puerto. I want to come but I don’t want to be there, but not totally there. I mean I don’t want to be there not wholeheartedly. Get, what I mean.
Anyway, Instead Toffee, Paul, Susan, Elena and I went swimming at Golden Spring. We had dinner there and then later we hit the beach for some drinks.
Summer fling 
- Deja vu? 
Palm Sunday
Free beers 
and pulutan on our fave stall - Manong and Friends stall. They made money from their summer enterprise. Good for them. Also for u. LOLZ!
It was 6 am when we finished drinking. Kim, Tutong , Cyrus and I decided to sleep over at the stall since a lot of their valuables are still there.
Holy Week ‘08 is one Holy Week to beat. It ain’t like last year Holy Week but it ain’t that bad. Yes I missed Puerto with my friends but I too had fun here with some other friends. Also I made new friends - EJ, Jojo, Toto, Benmar , Tutong, Apey, Kim and a lot more. A lot of things happened. Had a lot of alcohol over the extent of Holy Week. Had a good time with summer fling. It will be sure one Holy Week to remember.

An OC Afternoon March 20, 2008
Posted by raja-voom in Weblogs.add a comment
It was like an The OC episode yesterday afternoon with Cy and Toffee. Hitting the beach, swimming, watching the sunset (and also people) while having some beers. It was the stuff people in The Orange County soap do. I just wish we had a yatch or a boat and it would be really like a scene from The OC. Hahaha!
Got to go. Gonna pick a friend for a bike ride.

Chapter 7:
Wei meets Fuxi and the Battle of Dreams
Wei started his journey southwards, he left Universal City a week ago
and was just about to pass the Silk Mountain when suddenly the place
was shrouded in thick mist. Visibility was zero and after hours of
trying to find a way out of this obstacle he finally gave up and sat
beside a log lying on the ground…or so he thought.
And now this is where our tale begin…
"What do i do now?" Wei sighed as he tries desperately to think of a way out of his dillema. "I suppose you could start by…getting off me!!" came a troubled voice underneath him. Wei almost had a heart attack as he jumps away from the talking log. "What the hell!?" Wei said while clutching his chest. "Are you blind man?! can’t you see I’m sleeping here!" as the figure from the mist started to stand. "Please don’t hurt me! i don’t taste that good Mr. Log" Wei said almost crying. "Mr.Log? He grabbed Wei and dragged him a little close "Do i look like a log?"
"That was a relief! I thought you were a demon or something!" Wei breathed easily "I didn’t see you because of this mist."
"Bah! People these days…*mutter*" Finally realizing that they were indeed surrounded by mist, the Man was scratching his head deep in thought. "This mist was not here when i slept, its not natural…i can feel magic in the air."
Wei was looking at the man with mild curiosity. Judging by the way he look, he seems to be a doctor of a sort. "Hey Mister, do you know how we can get out of this Mist?" Wei asked the strange man. "Don’t call me Mister, Just call me Fuxi. And your quite Late Wei! i was waiting for you for 2 days!" Fuxi said irritatedly. "How did you know my name?!"
Wei gasped. [Uhhh...i slipped] "Questions! Questions! i have no time
for your questions! are you coming with me or not?!" Fuxi said while
trying to change the topic. "I’m going with you…i have no choice right?" Wei said still disturbed by this stranger he just met. "Well then follow me!" He grabbed hold of Wei’s hand and started walking.
Chi
You sat idly on a throne while watching them in his mirror. "Fools, you
won’t get out of that Mist. Wander for all eternity!" he laughed whole
heartedly.
While the two are traveling around in circles, the realm of Pangu is busy at the moment.
To the North, the Nation of Celestial once again attacked the Keeper’s on the Plains of Victory. The nations of Carnage attacked Beast City, Carefree Path was attacked by Eternal, Infinity on Desert Sea, Arcam on Dragon Slope, Aruans on fire Village, Hokuten on Highwind, Aesteru™ on King-Yu Tripod, Pirates on Nanping Hill, and Exodus on Sky Cliff.
The
battles were intense and wearisome, The Celestials managed to capture
Victory Plains, Carnage almost took Beast City away from the keepers,
Fire Village was taken by Aruans. They manage to defend their other
lands from Aesteru™, Pirates, Infinity, Eternal, Arcam, Exodus and
Hokuten. This week’s battle has probably taken its toll against the
Keeper’s of the Light. They attacked the nation of Salawayun on
Black Mountain and were successful in taking back this land. Tired and
weary from their battles, Their Keeper’s and Chambers, are now planning
their next course of action. The Holy Week is upon the land, but it
seems that Bloodshed will not be stopped by this Season…it would not
be stopped.
The Nation of Lotus attacked the City of Men, They almost captured it as well. But still the "Boys" won in the end.
On the other side, their lands were attacked by the nation of EinherJar on their Water-Side Village and Spartans
on SkyLake. They defended their lands againts the Spartans. However,
EinherJar was able to capture their Water-side Village. The winds are
blowing strongly from the North…what will this nation do?
The "Boys" was also attacked by the nations of Hades on Desolate Mountain. Lycanz♠ on Doom City, PUNIETTA on GreenWave Woods, Torment on Hades Land, Trojans on SnowSlide and ShadowRun
on Square Village. They focused their defenses on the City of Men, and
thus Torments was able to capture Hades Land, and Hades occupied
Desolate Mountain. This band of warriors now shout their warcries and
prepare their counter-attack. Whether to the North, the East or the
South It will surely be a bloody battle indeed. For now they call out
their troops and prepare once more for war.
To the South, the nation of the White Tiger attacked Phoenix
on Dreamport. They managed to capture the prized city of the South from
its former owner. The Battle was long, but the nation of Maharot
still won the round. Forced out of Dreamport, the Phoenix flew towards
Peach Castle to recover her strength. She did attack Foggy Jungle but
failed, still weak from their clash against the White Tiger she failed
to reclaim Foggy Jungle. The nation of Maharot rejoiced for they had
worked hard to get this far. Now they must be on constant guard for
their prize will be constantly challenged from them.
Majesty
attacked Souless swamp, The Magi and his warriors was able to capture
Souless swamp from Maharot. Without a doubt they will attack Dreamport.
Will they succeed or will the new owner of this City keep it? Only the
City of Dreams know who will hold its secrets.
Fuxi and Wei was running around in circles the whole time and were quite exhausted. "I tell you this is no ordinary Mist! Now what must we do? i have to go South!" Wei said out of frustration. "Don’t yell!" being
hot tempered as well Fuxi is also thinking of a way on how they could
get out of this Mist, which he is sure conjured by someone with great
power.
Chi You watches with amusement at the bickering of the two. "You will never get out of that Mist alive…Silly Goddess, putting her hopes on a pitiful mortal and a Godling" he sneered. "South! South! South! all we have to do is go South! Now i know how to get out of this fog!" Fuxi said with confidence. "How? We don’t know where South is!" Wei asked not hoping to get an answer. "You don’t, but i do! It was so simple! and i didn’t think of it right away!" Fuxi laughed as he took something out of his bag.
It was a Golden Compass.
"That compass only points north." said Wei, his hope diminished. "Not at all, this is a special compass that points only southwards." said Fuxi with a smile. He touched the symbol carved on the Compass and a golden line shoot out from it and into the Mist. "Shall we get going then? or do you want to stay here?" he teased Wei. "Are you joking?! Lets get the Hell out of here!" shouted Wei. And the two of them hurriedly moved towards south.
Unknown to them Chi You was yelling and cursing them from his castle in the Sky.
"One of these days! I swear! You and your Godlings! I will make you pay!!" Chi You cursed all through the night.
"We
must learn to view change as a natural phenomenon - to anticipate it
and to plan for it. The future is ours to channel in the direction we
want to go… we must continually ask ourselves, "What will happen
if…?" or better still, "How can we make it happen?"

Review: Hands down to StoryMan for this chapter. Although there is much of a difference on how he told stories of what transpired during TWs. There’s not much ooohmmpp on how he tell them now. But as he say he’s taking a different attack on how he pen his stories from now to avoid being redundant.
It’s really been a tough week for us HOLs. And I must say, I need a break from TWs this holy week. Gonna hit the beach!
Talitis and McFloat and HOL’s biggest set back March 17, 2008
Posted by raja-voom in Food and Drink, Friends, Games, Perfect World, Spontaneous Trips.add a comment
I’m just a sucker for food. We drove (Toffee Cy and moi) half an hour just to grab the tastiest talitis in Balayan. 
Also I was bewitched by McDo’s ad for their new McFloats I ordered all three varieties of them. Hahaha! Anyway it’s not just for the food entirely, it’s also served as stroll for us. It’s been ages since the last we had an spontaneous trip like this.
Perfect world speaking, we had the biggest setback in the history of HOL, (as far as i remember) we’ve lost two lands. 
The outcome was mainly because of trying to save both lands at the same time. It wouldn’t happen if we did give full defense on Celestial and let Aruans took one of our lands. And also, if and only if the attendance last night was not that few and punctuality was observed. We can really defend those two lands and giving them a good fight if not there were not a lot of late and absences last night. Well, what done is done. I hope this served a lesson for my fellow clansmen and not take it as hard blow on their pride on our clan. Keep your heads up high men, we are still the number one clan to beat in Dragon server. No one else comes close.
And to let pass the setback, I went over to Lloyd’s place with Cy for some drinks. It was really not some as we had 2 liters and a long neck of a local brandy. And to think there were only six of us there. Cy, Lloyd, Jayson (Lloyd’s beau) John (Froi’s friend), Froilan and Moi. This morning I had no recollection of how we’d finished the alcohol. Hahaha! Cy just told me that I slept and didn’t finished what remained of the last bottle.
Well, ta~tah for now. Gotta meet Cy and 2p.
Videoke Night @ I.B. March 13, 2008
Posted by raja-voom in Food and Drink, Friends, Spontaneous Trips.add a comment
It’s been a very long time since I had the company of Teddy and Joc. Last night they were out hanging at the parlor as Toffee and I passed by. And since we two were going out for some drinks, we invited them to come and luckily they didn’t said no.
As usual, when Teddy is around there’s no better place than our watering hole in front of I.B. What great about the place aside from beers is 3+1 is that you can get a return token if you get 100 score from the videoke. Well, it doesn’t mean much to me but to Teddy, Joc and Toffee it does. (And also some of my friends who I been there with.) It serves as a challenge for them on who’ll bring the most return tokens. There is no menu for pulutan there, just plain peanuts and chips a sari-sari store sells, cause it is also a sari-sari store. LOLZ! But you can buy noodles, canned goods and have them cook for a minimal additional payment. Anyway I can’t think of anything to say more but to sum it up, I LOVE THE PLACE! You can get a gang of six or more drunk for just a couple of hundred.
Yey, it’s 13!

I called B the other night, just my usual call. Asking him how’s he’s doing and all the chit chats. I always thought things were going perfect between us. But a couple of minutes ago, I received a text message from him. There’s nothing troubling in it. Nothing grand or tragic. He’s just informing me that my sweet gestures have accidentally put him in a bad situation with someone. >.< Arrgh, I feel bad. Tch. Gtg, need to find some loading station so I can call him. BB!

Chapter 6:
Farewell to a friend and the Journey South
Zhuanxu
along with Wei headed north. Their final destination was the Universal
City, The city which was rumored to be created by Pangu himself.
This is where i will start my tale…
After a week’s journey from the plains of Victory, Zhuanxu and Wei finally arrived at Universal City.
"At last! Were Here!" breathed Wei after a long hike up the mountain. "It would had been a lot faster if i travelled alone" Zhuanxu said silently. "Well then! what are we going to do first?" Wei asked Zhuanxu which is busy in looking at the displays at the stalls around them. "How about…you go that way and i go this way?" Zhuanxu said while inspecting a crude dagger. "Very well then, I’ll meet you at the Elder at lunch" Wei said and was gone.
"So…the Empress has sent a scout. Aren’t you an obedient one?" Chi You said dryly behind Zhuanxu. "And how about you? looking for sweets to rot your teeth?" Zhuanxu snapped at him. "How arrogant of you! Do you know who you are talking to?" Chi You spat at him. "I don’t suppose that the God of War is here for vacation?" Zhuanxu said icyly. "Hmmp! Impudent Godling! Your Goddess wont recognize you after im done with you!".
Chi You raised his hands and time stopped (at least for the mortals).
A Golden Serpent appeared beside Chi You, He held it in his hands and it became a golden sword.
"Nobody mocks the God of War!" Chi You charged at Zhuanxu with blood shot eyes.
"Wrath of the Blue Dragon!" shouted Zhuanxu. A giant water dragon charged towards Chi You.
"Childs
Play!" Chi you replied and he slashed the Dragon in half. The force of
the clash was so powerful that the buildings were destroyed and the
people around them were decimated. Their time has stopped but their
reality did not. "Fighting him in this city is very dangerous, i need to lure him away! Goddess please forgive me!" he prayed silently.
"Your not getting away from me that easy!"
Chi you said while hurling firebolts at him. Zhuanxu was about to dodge
when he saw Wei in front of him and was in the path of the Fireball. "Ice Armor!" he
said through gritted teeth as he braced himself to protect Wei. The
fireball connected and sent him flying a few meters away from where he
stood.
"Interesting, a Godling protected a mortal? Tsk! " Chi You said, his foot placed at Zhuanxu’s chest.
Zhuanxu’s left arm was severed from his body and was bathed in blue mist.
"This
is the end…any last words?" Chi you asked Zhuanxu. "Yeah, you looked
like an A$$ from afar, but up close… you really are an A$$ plus your
breath stinks. So that makes you an A$$hole" Zhuanxu said with a forced
smile. "Ha…Ha…Ha…" Chi you laughed sarcastically "Now DIE!!!" and he raised his sword for the kill.
Zhuanxu
closed his eyes and waited for the strike, but it didn’t come. When a
few seconds passed and nothing happened, he slowly opened his eyes and
what he saw shocked him.
Wei was holding the tip of the sword with two fingers, a golden Aura surrounding him and he seems to be in a trance like state.
"How dare you!" Wei said and the voice was unmistakingly feminine.
"Em….Emp…Empress?!?!" Chi You blurted out in surprise. "How dare you!" Wei repeated.
Chi You was backing away from Wei and was panicking. "I was only joking, im just here to greet your…servant, but he challenged me!!". "Leave this place! now!!" the Empress commanded. "This is not the last time we will meet! you just go lucky!" Chi you shouted at Zhuanxu and was gone.
Wei
approached Zhuanxu holding his severed hand. "Don’t get carried away
next time, your no match for him" and the arm connected with his body
as if nothing happened. "Thank you Goddess" Zhuanxu replied. "There is much to do here.",
Wei raised his hands and the buildings that were destroyed were
repaired. The torn out bodies of people re-attached themselves to their
owners and was mended right away.
When everything was finished, Wei looked at Zhuanxu still possessed by the Goddess of the Earth and said. "Stay here at the Universal City and keep watch for me. I will come for you when the time is right."
Zhuanxu nodded as Wei collapsed beside him, the Empress gone.
While the battle between Chi You and Zhuanxu was underway, battles all around the realm started.
The
Northen kings attacked the Keepers at the Lily Prairie. They were also
attacked by the nations of Carnage, Lianmeng, Salawayun and Lotus.
Carnage attacking Beast City, Lianmeng attacked White Mountain,
Salawayun attacked King-Yu tripod, Lotus attacked Sky Lake. They
defended their lands against the the nation of Celestial, Their battle
for Beast City was fierce but they defended it well. Lotus was able to
capture Skylake, Lianmeng too was able to capture White Mountain. They
defended King Yu againts Salawayun. These battles were both won and
lost, The keepers are always fighting to defend their lands and to
reclaim those that they have lost. It seems that the battles are inevitable and will not stop for quite some time. Truly the Keeper’s
will be put to the test.
The Nation of Lotus was also attacked
by the Keeper’s, it was still a mystery why this two nations are now
fighting each other. Everyone thought that they are comrades but it
seems that they were wrong. The Keeper’s were able to reclaim Silk
Mountain from them. Their fight against the nation of Autobots at Trade
Wind town was defended well. They certainly need more energons to win,
but it seems that Autobots is now back on business and ready to
"Transform" and wage war. The realm if certain that they will once
again enter the battlefield. The nation of Lotus now stands and is
waiting for the day that they will rise above all. But it seems that it
will be a long way to go.
Burial Grounds is now occupied by the
Nation of Heritage. They who was once the former owner of this land was
able to get it from the nation of Invictus. Which is now wearing a new
flag known to some as "EinherJar" which means "the proud warriors that
died in battle." This promising clan will soon be waging war, only they
know where. For now Heritage will keep the Burial Grounds, and Bury
those that will try to take it away from them.
The nation of the "Boys" are attacked by the nations of Spartans, Ingenuity, Hades,Dynasty™ and ALLIANCE.
Hades
attacked Doom City, ALLIANCE attacked Hades land, Dynasty™ attacked
Snowslide, Spartans attacked Square Village, Ingenuity attacked Wood
Mountain. They defended this lands well and still holds the City of Men
under their protection. Truly this Boys know how to rumble.
Surprisingly they attacked the Northern kings at Ice Bound Land. The Kings won this battle and defended their land.
What the future holds for this Boys, not even the Gods knows.
The
nation of Salawayun was attacked by the Nation of Majesty. The Magi
failed to capture Black Mountain. Now surrounded by three nations, it
seems that they have been given other options. Will they fight the
Keeper’s? the Magi? or their new neighbor the nation of LianMeng? Only
they know…and hold their future.
The White Tiger has made its
move from the Foggy Jungle and headed towards the Soulless swamp. Their
Battles with the Phoenix is getting fiercer. They captured Soulless
swamp and is now headed for Dreamport. Another clash will happen and
all eyes are now looking on whom of this two will be victorious. This
battle will be one of the main highlights in the next days to come.
Everyone can feel it, The battle of Dreams is at hand.
Wei
started to stir. Feeling exhausted but not remembering the reason
behind it, he was surprised to see Zhuanxu sitting beside him.
"Are you alright?" Zhuanxu’s eyes show concern. "Im alright, i just feel exhausted thats all. The thing is i can’t remember what i did for me to feel this way." "What time is it?" he asked Zhuanxu. "its already Evening." he replied. "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!" It was early morning the last time i remembered. "Your still dreaming aren’t you? are you sure you’re awake?" Zhuanxu knows that its no use to tell him what happened. "Hungry?" Zhuanxu asked. "Starving 
"
Wei replied. Zhuanxu handed him some meat and a bowl of soup. Wei was
surprised at this sudden change of behavior from Zhuanxu. "I think im still dreaming, your being too nice.". "Just eat and rest" Zhuanxu said with a smile. "But i just woke up!" Wei argued. "Suit yourself" Zhuanxu replied. [i]"I had a strange dream" he said which caught Zhuanxu by surprise. "A beautiful woman is telling me to go South, im not really sure the details…but it seems that i really need to go there.". "Then you should, Im sorry but i can’t go with you." Zhuanxu replied "Thats ok…she said that you are going to do something important here". Wei said more to himself "Well I’ll just be finishing may tasks here and im going south". he added.
"Safe trip, and Godspeed." Zhuanxu extended his hand.
"Thank you my friend" Wei said. "Your welcome" Zhuanxu replied.
And with that Wei closed his eyes and was off to a dreamless sleep.
The rule of no realm is mine. But all worthy things that are in
peril as the world now stands, those are my care. And for my part, I
shall not wholly fail in my task if anything that passes through this
night can still grow fairer or bear fruit and flower again in days to
come. For I too am a steward. Did you not know?"

Review: Another fascinating storytelling skills is all I can say. I’m still have a hangover from last week’s TWs. @_@
TW Break, Prime rib, Yaye and Old Folks’ stares March 10, 2008
Posted by raja-voom in Games, Men, Perfect World, Thoughts.add a comment
I took a break from my TW schedule last night and let my cousin play my character and fill in my shoe. It was really exhausting TW week. Friday was a three hour defense from Celestial. And that whole three hour was also a practice for us HOL to strengthen our defense skills. We didn’t do any offense as our superiors want to hone our skills to defend and intercept the catapult bearers. It was really tiring but well worth it as we applied what we’ve learned during our battle against Carnage last Saturday. The city was really under siege the time I arrived at the battlefield. Luckily we honed our defense skills and it was put to good use. Tch, we can easily defend our two lands but we were forced to give our all to defend the City of Beast and let Lotus took one of our lands because a lot of my fellow clansmen were late. Last night while we successfully defended two of our lands, were forced to let go of one our land. It was a three clan gang bang. >.< It’s okay to lose one land rather than lose two while trying to defend three lands. It’s the most logical thing to do.
Enough of TW, let me talk about irl happenings. Last night after I picked up a close friend we had dinner at a local bistro. I had the chance to try one of their special steaks - prime rib. I must say It was a pricey dinner but I got what I paid for. It was so good. I was full but I insisted that we stayed and chat for a while while I finish the steak. I know gluttony is a sin but I can’t simply say no to a tasty fare. Hahaha!
After dinner we hang out at Cyrus’ place. It was a good way to let my digestive juices do their thing. I was so full, I had to unbutton my shorts and recline cause I had a difficulty in sitting straight. I thought I’m gonna puke. Hahaha!
After a friend split up, he had work to worry, I strolled with Cyrus and bump into Yaye. We went then to a local karaoke bar and had a few drinks. We talk a lot about the past and his problem with his girl. Tch, it was nice to reminisce the past.
On our way home we bump into some friends and decided to have a few beers more at their place. It was 6 in the morning when we finished drinking. The place was part of several houses sharing one gate. The old folks were all awoke and at the gate. They had a puzzled look maybe wondering where we came from as we past by them. It was soooo embarrassing to leave the place in a hurry. I felt like my back burned from their stares. Hahaha! It was freaking embarrassing that I have to go now. I’m still embarrassed from what happened. Hahaha!
