Looking Back at 2009 (Part I)

It makes me feel lost. I think about the time I spent playing FFXI, and I think about the time that I spent on my music.

I've lost both.

Where do I go from here? I start school in January. I'm up for a manager position at Crocs. But where does this lead me to? Will this lead me to somewhere I want to be? Somewhere I have to be?

Will I be happy in the long run? Does this even matter?

I've been playing Dragonica to fill in the hole in my heart. I don't miss the events of FFXI anymore. I miss the gameplay a little bit (afk exp ftw). What I miss the most are my friends.

I do have more time now to concentrate on life. But what of it? I'm still pretty much stuck in the same place I have always been. Hopefully school will push me through a little bit. I'm not sure it will.

I'm in need of a life-changing event. I need a new direction.

Happy Holidays everyone.

Days Become Shorter...

Did I mention I hate Christmas? Oh ok. I HATE CHRISTMAS.

Actually, I just hate the holidays in general. The plastic smile of it all makes me sad.

FFXI... oh how I miss you.

Memories Fade...

...so help me make them clear!

I'm trying to figure out the names of a bunch of FFXI players. More specifically, those that I knew. If you can help me sort this out... please leave a comment. Or if you think I need to add names etc.

Sleep Is For The Weak!

I'm weak.

September 26th

Happy Birthday Kathryn!
Get better soon! I love you!

>_<;

Kathryn is in the hospital and it's pretty serious this time around. So if anyone is willing to take my work shifts this week, please let me know. And also, I won't be around for FFXI most likely.

Please keep her in your prayers.

A Step Torwards Perfection

Finally! I get a real break!

Ever since the release of Salvage, I've been through about eight groups. The first one broke because people left, the second through fifth were so-so, but I didn't get anything. The sixth was actually pretty awesome and I got a few pieces here and there, but eventually I was kicked out due to the fact that I couldn't get up that early in the morning. The seventh and eight, DeathPiles and Senkei, respectively, actually got me my first ever completed Salvage piece!

This was an incredible moment for myself as I know it took years to make this happen. But it was soured by Barlow who complained that it wasn't fair that he wasn't able to lot. And of course, Salazaar and Nightfall agreed with him. I was well within my rights to lot per rules of the group. Not to mention that the final piece I needed was a 100% drop rate. I don't get it, and I never will. I'm really sad that they left the group, but... it's just too bad.

But anyway! With this, I'm able to switch to Haubergeon while keeping my haste/6-hit setup. However, since I've now switched to meat (Yellow Curry Bun), I've noticed that my WS Accuracy has dropped tremendously. I might have some adjusting to do.

Besides this stupid stupid stupid stupid drama, nothing has really happened this past week. Hmm... well... Cairstiona and Gipi finished their relics. Mandau for mommy, and Spharai for my Tarutaru comrade! I also finished my MNK AF2 set.

We also killed Sarameya twice. Salazaar got the Oracle's Robe, someone got the Aurum Armet, and Xharric got the Sarameya Hide. I believe he's 2/3 on seals... I have to go ask and make sure.

Upcoming ZNM Schedule:
09/24 - Anantaboga
10/01 - Nosferatu
10/08 - Sarameya
10/15 - Experimental Lamia
10/22 - Verdelet
10/29 - Mahjlaef the Paintorn
11/05 - ??? (Lamiae T1/T2)
11/12 - Nuhn
11/19 - Tyger
11/26 - Holiday

To Do List:
1. Calculate ZNM bank split (I'm missing like... 50-100k in my calculations... I might just throw it in because it was my fault).
2. Calculate /pwnED/ bank summary for the past two months.
3. Catch up to my gil schedule. I'm behind about 2 mil due to laziness.
4. Sleep.

So little time left. The New Year approaches.

Quick note: For those who know my gil-making secret if you understood my hints, please keep it to yourself. Some people won't understand.

I'm Not Going To Even Bother...

(IRL)
- I bought a new PSP with Dissidia
- I played Dissidia for a week straight (which is when I stopped posting... hmm... lol)
- I lost interest in Dissidia because Shantotto wasn't powerful enough
- I lost at poker, repeatedly

And now I'm sleepy because I need to redo all my macros and all the settings and download all the crap I used to have...

Good freaking night.

Gamer Grub #1

Kim Chee Saimin with Vienna Sausage ★★☆☆☆

Befitting the stereotype, I cooked saimin noodles (similar to ramen) and added a little spiciness using kim chee. I also added some vienna sausage and kamaboko (fish cake) for a bit of sustenance. Simple and cheap!

Preparation time: N/A
Time to cook: Less than 10 minutes

Shrimp-Flavored Saimin Package: $0.50
Bottle of Kim Chee (6-8 servings): $2.40
Can of Vienna Sausage: $0.90
Block of Kamaboko (5-7 servings) $1.75

Dish Total: ~$2.15

Notes:
While cooking the noodles, add the kim chee a bit before you add the soup base so it has time to cook and spread the flavor. Also add the kamaboko a little early so it can soften up a little.

Usukane Sune-Ate 1/3

Short post.

Sunday I woke up right before Dynamis, which means I missed Limbus again. They did Omega but no body drop. And because I was late for Dynamis, and I also didn't sign up apparently, I got to come on SAM. Maybe I should do that more often... XD It would only cost me half my <3 Bank gil. Yep. Not worth it. Today was short and satisfying. Feel free to interpret that however you want. I logged into the shout/chat area of Aht Urhgan Whitegate and, for some random reason, I was compelled to involve myself. In the end...

I dunno.

Then it was time for pink pearl Salvage. We did Ramparts today. Gate Winow, or -----"clow" as I misread ("c" from Chigoe" next to the "l" in Barlow = "d"), decided not to show up. Next floor however...

Skirmish Pephredo spawned a miracle four times! The Sune-ate dropped the first two times, for Barlow and myself, respectively. It was pwnsome! People at the cafe were staring at me because I was verbally excited by the constant action. I need to control myself a little bit more. *^_^*

Off to Walmart and Don Quiote for food and supplies. I should be online later tonight to farm gil/zeni, depending on what Sanraku wants.

Up And Down

Where to begin...

Last Wednesday I helped Rrynn get her two of her final spells as a BLU. At the same time, I got to finally explore Beaucedine Glacier [S] and Xarcabard [S]. It was pretty fun! If painful = fun, then it was lots of fun!

These guys are super grumpy. AoE/Conal moves that take multiple or all shadows. Not to mention they hit freaking hard, can terrorize you, and strip you naked. Yes, they're perverts like Yagudos.

Again very grumpy. They weren't as bad as the Ruszors, but they link like crazy. It's sight link, but they can link from over 25' away. Evil evil thingys. They can also terrorize.

I got lucky this week. Sanraku wanted Wamouras, and so I got him Wamouras. 99 zeni each! So I got a total of... 120 pictures (60 each character)... that's around 5k zeni each... Then I went and killed Brass Borer 4x solo. Not so difficult, just boring. This is after the BLU hunting, so I was pretty damn tired. I got a quick nap and moved onto ZNMs.

Oh so very true.

Margulis decided to kill me. Well, he was charmed, so I don't blame him. But the other BLMs took vengence into their own hands. Good job guys!

After four Dahaks, we went to Dynamis-Qufim.

Grats! It only took you a couple years. ;)

During the run, PUP Cape dropped and Vegetto won. He just recently leveled it. Toth, who has been fighting for it for a while, and was the first PUP pretty much on Fairy server, lost the lot. He also lost his control and vocalized what he considered was... how do I put this into words... unfair?... it was for him not to have priority whilst using pretty vulgar language. Not only was this insulting to Vegetto (who didn't care anyway), he disrespected the entire Linkshell by exclaiming how he wasn't protected. Well Toth, too bad for you. We have rules that you accepted upon applying for membership and we followed through. I'm really sorry buddy, but I hope you have better luck in the future. I'll miss your long AFKs on Sundays most definitely.

Onto real life!

Today I found out I got a raise at work. A very nice 15%! I also got a bonus check! But I lost my bonus check at poker. Not too shabby.

Anyway, it's almost 5:30AM and I have work in 7 hours. So I should get some nap time. Bai!

Karma Payback

This is from Monday, I forgot to post it. We failed to pop NM at the higher floor. But we got to play as frogs!

So anyway, that bad day turned around and I had damn good luck. All my lots were 900+ in Dynamis-Beaucedine for a while and people were starting to think I stole Homero's lot bot (joke).

(picture turned out better than I expected)

Inventory +10! Wewt!

The Etoile Tights gives me a full amount of 21% haste in TP gear. Thank goodness for inert DNC accuracy!

Mia being random. <_<;

Tonight I played poker at my friend's house. I actually won! I won't put an actual amount, but let's just say I'm about even in my winnings and losses now. So good for me!

Anyway, I might be online tomorrow but there's a poker tournament I'm invited to. So... I don't know. Depends on my friend if she's going or not. And also whether I have permission. ^_^

Good night!

When Will I Ever Learn?

NEVER say, "It can't get any worse." It can. God has a sense of humor.

From AMK to Zeni

First of all...

DISCLAIMER WARNING: This post contains images and information pertaining to the new FFXI Expansion "A Moogle Kupo d'Etat," also known as AMK. This posting contains spoilers. Please be advised.

That being said, this post is going to be pretty long as it covers a bunch of stuff. So let's dive in!

I figure I'd start with the sexy Nightfall. This was during Dynamis-Valkurm and she was supposedly talking about needles from Cactaurs... yea. ^^

Randomness...

I got this from the ??? Sash from Red vs. Blue Assault. No one wanted it, so yay for me! This is arguably the best piece for WHM if you want to max out your -Enmity. Good piece once my WHM hits 75. I get to sell my Penitent's Rope! :D

We fought this bastard two weeks ago for some seals. Awful awful bastard that I want to stab. Luckily for this run we had support from Senkei. It was a good thing. I sort of doubt we would have been able to beat him without the help. Basically, this guy has a combination of charm, Astral Flow, and multiple AoE attacks. Just an overall badass. I'm sad we have to keep fighting him. We need seals from this guy for Sarameya.

Along with AMK, this past update also introduced the new Union system to Campaign. Basically, after getting your Allied Tags, you register for a random union. At the end of a campaign battle, depending on how well your union fought, you receive spoils from the battle. It's pretty random, but some items are worth a bunch, and of course the highly sought out Dynamis currency also drop. The more members in a union, the greater the number of drops at the end of the fight because your union is more likely to kill more beastmen. However, the more players, the more competition. So it's a tossup.

With the update, you can now augment pretty much anything. This is one of the new crafted items and the possibility of augments. There are a whole bunch of screenshots on KI and BG forums of some possible awesome augments. This is a screenshot of a random galka passing by. I might try for this one day. I think Demenic is trying to get a group together for it.

Like I said earlier in the disclaimer, if you do not wish to see spoilers, do not read on.

Overall, this expansion was pretty decent. The quests are not as irritating as ACP, and the final BCNM wasn't so aggravating. The best part was the fact that I did not have to climb Delkfutt's Tower. Just thinking about that portion of ACP makes me want to punch this screen. They also did a great job on the cutscenes. Maybe it was just the fact that it was mooglicious, but the details were executed very well.

Storyline: 6.5/10
Cutscenes: 8/10
Music: N/A (sound was off lol)
Value (Reward): 9/10
No Delkfutt's Climb: +5

Overall: 28.5/30

Here are some screenshots of my journey...

This was the protagonist of the storyline. Cute little fella.

Poor little guy got stuck in the treasure chest!

Ok maybe it's because I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat when it comes to some of these images... BUT DAMN! I was so freaked out watching this cutscene. I mean, it doesn't look too scary as still pictures, but while it was animated I was getting chills. The eyes were pretty freaky and I had flashbacks of Evangelion. What freaked me out the most were the bloody handprints. Can anyone say Elfen Lied? Maybe I just watch too much creepy, religious, and symbolic anime.

I found this NM wandering around while doing one of the quests for AMK. I remember Azulmagia trying to camp this guy for drops or something... idk. XD

Hello Kitty?

The antagonist of the storyline, the boss moogle was... well... the boss! I didn't take pictures of the last BCNM fight (because I was doing my best not to screw up), but basically this guy goes crazy and gains huge powers. Keyword: huge.

And is it just me or does the second picture look like the resurrection of Jesus? I wonder if it's a sin to compare God to a video game...

Also the boss takes triple damage. Nice little e-peen going here!

Trojan Taru~~~!

The reward of my endeavors. This is a big "FUCK YOU" to Maat's Cap, Wyvern Helm +1, and Shura Zunari Kabuto +1. It is possible to get a full STR+6, but according to the SAM Union on KI, WS+2% is > STR+2. What makes this awesome is the WSACC+15. That's freaking amazing to be combined with a STR piece.

There are only two things that can be arguably better than this: Wyvern Helm +1 with STR+3 augment, or Gnadbhod's Helm. Both of which are a bitch to obtain, or, in the Wyvern's case, pretty much impossible.

I could have also gotten a full accuracy helm with Acc+10/Atk+5, WSAcc+15/STR+4. This would be awesome for THF, MNK, or any other multi-hitting weapon skills. But I enjoy SAM more than any other melee job, so I went with what I have.

Anyway, it's been a long day, and a long post. Good night!

Happy Birfday to me!

Much love to my girlfriend Kya (right) for the lovely iPhone 3GS. I no longer have to buy a video camera to cover our nightly romps.

Poker games. Not the dirty stuff. You pervert.

That stuff stays off camera.

This is my nephew and one of my best friend's daughter. It would be so cool if they ended up as friends in the future. Not like I'm trying to hook them up or anything. XD

The camera quality is decent. I had to photoshop and smooth out these two pics. But it's way better than my blackberry camera, and much easier than buying a new camera. I might have to find a flash app though.

I took this entire week off for my birthday. On Sunday, Kya's family decided to party and make some BBQ. Lots of fun! Kya likes the Loaded Corona Light w/Lime. ^^

On Monday, the girls took me out to The Counter, arguably the best burger restaurant on the island. People will argue for Burgers on the Edge... but I doubt they'll step up to it. I have to go and try for myself. Kya gave me the iPhone, and Nikki got me a new memory stick and Patapon 2 for my PSP. Beck bought me a cover for my iPhone.

After The Counter, we watched Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It was... ok. Great considering the story and what they had to condense.

After that we went to Max's Restaurant in Waipahu. It's a traditional Filipino restaurant that is famous for its chicken. Personally, I don't like going there because I'm not a big fan of Filipino food. My mom caught the drift and ordered decent food that wasn't completely traditional. Good call mom! My friends had fun!

On Friday I get to have Poker. I can't wait. :D

The new AMK (A Moogle Kupo d'Etat) expansion is out! It came out last week, but I gave it a week for information on missions to come out. I learned from ACP that going off on half-baked rumors and strategies makes it stressful experience. So I decided to wait this time. So far, the story seems interesting. It's very cute, and at the same time, very very creepy. I'll post pictures later.

This is probably the best birthday I've ever had excluding my 18th birthday/grad party. That was awesome in a different way. But this tops everything else by a long shot.

Off to farm Zeni.

Swatting Flies, Faulty Token, Frog Hopping, and Loving That Bush!

As you can tell from the title, it's been a busy week.

I forgot to post this, but a two weeks back before ZNMs, Marg went after a Voyager Sallet. We got lots of rings and bandanas, but unfortunately, not helms.

That same day I did Salvage with Senkei for the second time.

Poor Harp. I bet he didn't think I was serious.

Lots of charmed fun obviously. This is one of the many times we were charmed and kited. We look adorable, but such a time waster. I really wish drop rates were higher.

On Sunday, I tried to log in. My passwords did not work. I freaked out and thought I was hacked again. Customer service was out for the weekend, so no help there. I tried to log into the SE Token website. I found that I couldn't. At this moment I came to the conclusion that there was probably something wrong with my security token.

On Monday, I contacted customer service (took about 4 hours waiting on web chat) and my deduction was correct. They disabled my one-time password and I was able to log in again. I have to mail my token in to get a new one. At least it's free.

Today we went to Dynamis-Qufim. Nothing exciting. We got a bunch of good regular AF that people red-dotted for, so can't complain. On the accessory side, we only got RNG.

After this, we did Divine Might.

From that list of names, about 13-14 of them were people who actually signed up for the event. The rest were kind-hearted and just came out to help on a whim, including Chrisstreb to whom I am totally grateful. Of that 13-14, about 6 or 7 actually needed the quest. The rest signed up to help.

It went pretty smooth. We took the four tank/kite strategy and took out the AAs one by one.

No words can express how I feel about this AA. Actually, a few words come to mind, "bitch" and "hax" being at the top of the list. I was in charge of Marg, who was in charge of EV. It was such a pain in the ass. EV has a directional cone Shield Bash which does damage and stuns which irritated the hell out of me. Marg eventually died when the alliance focused on EV, and she wiped a good portion of the alliance. But we eventually took her down.

And here is the summary:

My SAM gets a well-deserved one-up.

All in all, a good couple busy days.

Pimpin Ain't Easy

Cosplay for next Kawaii Kon?

Crazy Weekend

Well, not totally bad. It has been crazy since Thursday. It's kinda like this...

Wednesday: Slept late and overslept. I got to work about 3 hours late. Went home and stayed up all night because my friend was over. Cleaning. <_<; Don't ask.

4 hours of sleep

Thursday: I got about 4 hours of sleep and went to ZNMs. Electricity went out so I made a mad dash to Starbucks. After searching for an hour, I finally found a seat. I got to Dynamis about 40 min late. Good run with low numbers. Did Salvage. Logged off. (This was the last time I was on my character) I tried to sleep as early as I could, which was about 2AM.

4 hours of sleep

Friday: Woke up early for work. It was a pretty decent day. After work went to Walmart then went to my mom's house. I forgot my keys so I went to Starbucks to chill. I also visited a friend. My co-worker, for some reason, ended up near me. She lives near work, but she caught the wrong bus and ended up in another district of the island. Luckily it was my town. I picked her up and brought her home. The hooker count tonight on her street was seven. Drove all the way back to my mom's house and tried to get a nap, but my nephew kept me up.

30 minutes of sleep

Saturday. Woke up at 1:45 AM. Got my stuff together (for some reason, I forgot my shorts at my mom's house. I don't know how it happened) and drove to Ala Moana Beach Park. We double-parked in front of the bus stop at the center of Ala Moana Shopping Center and Ala Moana Beach Park. I got out of my brother's car which I was in and got into my uncle's car as he and my cousin went to go search for a camp spot. Eventually the police came by and told us to move. We parked on the other side of the mall in front of Nordstrum's cafe. At 3:45 AM, we started our cars and put ourselves into traffic. The parking gates to the beach park opened at 4:00 AM. We got in at 4:10. We immediately found decent parking. 4:25, the gates are closed. Parking lot was full.

We started setting up camp. My uncle brough his tent which had a canopy extension. My brother-in-law brought two tents. After setting up, me, my brother, and my cousin went to the mall at Ala Moana. I brought my laptop so my brother could go on facebook. He's an addict. After that, we went to McDonald's for breakfast and went back to camp. I took a nap.

2 hours of sleep

I woke up and went to work. I was wearing jeans. Luckily, my manager was cool about it and said it was ok. It was the longest day of work in my life. It was a very VERY busy day in the mall. It being 4th of July and everything. But our kiosk had very little customers. I was already tired out, but I did my best. I had the energy Vitamin Water before I set up camp. I had a power size Coldbuster with a energy boost Jamba Juice for lunch. Then I had a 5-hour Energy Drink at like 4:00PM. By the time it hit 7PM, I was completely drained. But it's ok! My girlfriend and friends came to pick me up and we walked across the street to camp. The rest of my family was there, and we had a nice BBQ dinner.

Fireworks. They were beautiful.

Got home and went to sleep.

10 hours of sleep

Feeling very refreshed, I tried to log on to FFXI. Incorrect Password. I tried again. And again. Then I tried Kya's account. Same thing. Then I tried Nynja's account and I got in. There was something wrong here... I went to ffxiah and scanned my character. All of my items were still equipped. I don't think RMT would leave a Hagun alone, so I don't think my account was compromised. Then I tried to log into the security token website. One-time password is incorrect. MEH! The one thing that's supposed to protect my account is preventing me from getting in. Wow. Well... These are the possible things that could be happening:

1) I got hacked and my password was changed, but they couldn't get in because of my security token. The token is doing its job. However, I wasn't able to log into the security token website? Hmm.

2) I didn't get hack and my token screwed up somehow and is giving me the wrong numbers. Most likely reason.

3) I'm being super super crazy and I'm retyping my passwords incorrectly. Highly unlikely after 10 hours of sleep.

So ya... I'm stuck today. But my internet is too slow for me to play WolfTeam. I think I'm just going to nap all day and try to regain those lost hours.

Kyarutaru has an orgasm! Must see here!

Grats Kyaru on being the most pimp WHM I have ever seen!

My internet crapped out torwards the end of Dynamis, so I couldn't attend the relic ritual of completion. Check out her blog for screenshots.

The new expansion is coming out, complete with 3 new helms! The bonuses are... how do I say this... FUCKING AMAZING!!! It's possible to get a mind-numbing +25 accuracy on one slot for weapon skills! Granted it doesn't help my GTK that much (except for Tachi: Rana, and maybe Tachi: Gekko), I can't help but wonder what I will choose. I have to think about it.

Azure Key attempt #21. Rainbow Obi. INT+4, CHR+2, HMP+1. NPC sold. =(
