Aya-sama’s new single is out ^^ the PV is out too.. I’m happy to see those killer legs back. Is it me or does she look like Ayumi Hamasaki with her new hairstyle? I’ve heard good and bad reactions about her look, hair specifically but I think it does look ok +_+;
Unnamed World is the theme song for the anime series Niju Menso no Musume. She also happens to be the voice actress for the anime’s lead character Mikamo Chizuko.

So the first chapter to Mabinogi’s mainstream storyline was released few weeks ago (G1). Basically it’s about Goddess Morrighan, the three Warriors that tried to save her and “The Embodiment of Destruction, Glas Gaibhleann”. Although the story focuses more on Tarlach’s perspective (one of the three warriors). The mainstream quests were a series of dungeons, flashbacks, errand running, and yeah.. more dungeons.

It took us 2 weeks to finish it, mainly because the later parts (Tir na Nog) were only accessible on a Saturday, and we only farmed the black orb the first weekend we went there (none of us played the KR version before). For a guide on the G1 quests go here. If only that page was already available when we were doing G1.. =.=;


This is the path that connects Tir na Nog and Errin. Me and Eilyse (Phil) had to stop and take some screenshots of it.. Melyn already ran off lol


Here’s a shot taken by Eilyse. When we first got there, the first thing I wanted to do is find Ferghus’ zombie and kill him over and over.. For those of you who plays, I’m sorry I couldn’t find Feghus T.T

Onigiri Guild - Mabinogi

A long over due entry due to the fact that I’ve been busy with school and Mabinogi, so something had to give lol. I apologize for the infrequent posts which will continue till who knows when ^^;

On to the topic.. We finally made the guild! we named it Onigiri (riceballs?)which was randomly selected out of a bunch of random names ^^; My first choice was really Zetsubou, the name of our short lived guild in Seal Online. In case anyone wants to join us, the stone is located at Sidhe Sneachta just near the zone, you won’t miss it if you follow the road, just be careful of the Coyotes! they spawn around the stone so they’ll surely agro you lol. Be sure to pm me or something before or after you join :p


(i just reformated yet again so i lost all my old screenshots and had to take this one alone T.T)

To be honest I didn’t know it was the holy week till people started greeting me happy easter ^^; How do you guys commemorate the holy week anyways? How is it celebrated in your region? In the US, I guess only easter is really celebrated.

As a Catholic child growing up, I remember occasionally visiting our relatives for the holy week. Holy Week in the Philippines is celebrated nationwide with a varying mixture of solemn Christian and pagan rituals. From Pilgrimages to what are considered to be holy places, to “Cenaculos” and “Pabasas” reenacting and reciting the the passion and death of Jesus Christ.

Our relatives always hold a “Pabasa” during the holy week. They open their house for people to gather (usually the whole neighborhood) to sing and read the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ in traditionally written verse 24-hours a day for 7 days (till easter sunday). From my experience, it’s mostly the old women who does the reading and singing. Outside the house you’d see the Men playing cards or mahjong gambling. Some people would only go there for the free 24-hour food. Since I was a kid I didn’t have to do anything but play with my cousins there lol. Ofcourse my mom would occasionally tell me to come in and listen.. which no kid would wanna do >.>

During the week, we are also not allowed to eat MEAT. So people are served with crackers and coffee for snack and some fish and veggie meal I can’t remember. One superstition they believed that I’ll never forget is don’t do anything “dangerous” on Black Saturday. Dangerous included taking a bath (you might slip in the bathroom). I asked the elders why and they told me that Jesus is dead on that day and the devil can harm us anytime.. Ofcourse, that would scare the shit out of any 8year old kid..

The other thing that scared the shit outta me back then were the people who reenact the passion and death of Jesus. I think they are called Flagellants. Yeah they go through everything.. half naked men, walking barefooted under a midday sun and flogging themselves bloody with ropes and broken pieces of glass attached with strings to bamboo sticks and lastly they are Crucified on a cross.. They do this as a means of atonement of their sins.. They must’ve done something really bad I guess O_O

When I was older I was able to do my own pilgrimages with friends and other relatives. I was able to see the The Black Nazarene which is A century-old black statue in Quiapo, sculptured in Mexico during the Galleon Trade era and is considered miraculous by devotees. We also did the Visita Iglesias thingy.. where we visited 14 different churches within Metro Manila representing the fourteen stations of the cross. In High School I was able to visit the huge white cross overlooking the City of Iloilo and Panay Church which has the largest bell in the Philippines.

oh and.. Belated Happy Easter to all~
