The following was posted by Giggle Cream in Ragnaboards.. RB mods, true to form, did necessary action to his post... That is why, im posting it here para mabasa ng iba pang RO players. Read on...

Disclaimer: The following article is just the fruit of the author’s corrupted and polluted mind and is further deteriorated by playing in *ahem* server. Anything related or similar to actual person or entity is just a product of coincidence and the author does not intend to insult or harm the actual person or entity. For God’s sake this is just fiction, don’t take it seriously.

Many have commented, complained, ranted, whined, etc. about the newest server of Pinoy RO, Valkyrie. But what does Valkyrie have to say? Let’s find out.

Master Diva: Ok, let’s start with the obvious, why the name Valkyrie?
Valkyrie: In Norse Mythology, Valkyries are minor female deities which serve Odin by choosing dead warriors and bringing them back to Valhalla.

MDiva: How is that connected to the server?
Valkyrie: Well, we used old scraps and programs, gave it a few nice introductions and call it a new server.

MDiva: What does Valkyrie have that other servers or MMORPGs doesn’t have?
Valkyrie: It gives a new definition to MMORPG.

MDiva: Can you please elaborate?
Valkyrie: In Valkyrie, MMORPG means Making the Most Out of a Ranting Player Game, plus we have this unique WoE feature that lets you kill your most hated guildmates, rampaging Guardians, and skills so *designed* its as challenging as climbing Mt. Everest to own a Guild Castle.

MDiva: Oh I see. In Valkyrie, you yourself sell items and equips to players, do deities need money?
Valkyrie: No, you and the other players need money the most.

MDiva: But what are you doing with the money that you get from players?
Valkyrie: I use the money to pay my *enter your own description* customer service agents and *again enter your own description* tech personnels.

MDiva: What is your stand about botting?
Valkyrie: As if I care about botting. Only the players are concerned with botting. Whether they use it or not, against it or not, I don’t care, as long as they buy their items from me.

MDiva: What about the prisoners that have bought their items from you? They even complain that even Erap gets a pardon.
Valkyrie: They sure can’t get a pardon from me. They should figure out a way to get out for themselves, like buying my Teleport to Somewhere Else Scroll.

MDiva: So that’s the reason why some jailed characters are on the loose.

Valkyrie: Because the prison is full of wasted potential, like ‘Mai~[DhonG]. He have what it takes to be one of the ranked BS. The guts, the items, the zeny, you name it, he have it. He even forged his way out of that paradise. Besides I’m sick and tired of seeing the long a$ lines of prisoners whenever I went there to visit. But to tell you honestly, that map is the most bot-free map in Valkyrie.

MDiva: How about dupes, deal hacks and other bugs? How will you and your infamous team of tech personnel handle these issues?
Valkyrie: We already have a patch that will fix those problems next server maintennance.

MDiva: Wow, that was fast! Can you tell me something about the updates?
Valkyrie: We have a site about these updates. Just click the link for kinks.

MDiva: Since Christmas is in the air, are you having a discounted items sale?
Valkyrie: What kind of question is that? Of all the cheap…

MDiva: Are you having a discounted items sale?
Valkyrie: Of course no! We’re already struggling for the salaries and 13th month pay of our employees here. If you don’t want to pay, go away and leave us in peace.

MDiva: Ahem, you are so beautiful, with your long, blonde hair, hot body, ahmm do you have a boyfriend?
Valkyrie: Nope.

MDiva: Do you want me as your boyfriend?
Valkyrie: Do you want a terrible kick in the gr0in? Your name sounds gay, admit it, are you gay?

MDiva: Hey lady, watch you mouth, I’m not gay. Although I look gay, I’m not one. Kurutin kita dyan eh. >_<

MDiva: Back to the interview, do you have any message for Valkyrie players?
Valkyrie: Thank you for supporting my server. I hope you enjoy playing in this Free-to-Play, pay to stay or go away server, just bear with the server maintennance every three hours.

MDiva: Ouch! If there’s a maintennance I guess I’d play in Perfect Word, what do you think?
Valkyrie: Well Perfect Word is Free-to-Play so…

MDiva: Arrgghh! I changed my mind. Thank you very much.

Crowd: Woohoo!! IDOL!! Part Two!! Part Two!!
MDiva: Don’t worry maraming kasunod yan.

Crowd: Sana may kasunod. Pakibilisan po ung Part Two please.
MDiva: Don’t spam the forum with “Part Two Pls” posts, begging for it will only lengthen the delay.

Edit: Due to insistent public demand and positive reactions of Valkyrie players, the RBoars Mods have decided to ban my account and blocked my IP therefore I cannot post the updates. I hope you enjoy this ‘too good to be true’ interview. I will post the updates once the Mods learned the meaning of Fiction and allow me to post again. Right now I am enjoying my vacation somewhere else. Wait till you wish, until then this is Diva signing out.

Tagalog Translation: Maghintay kayo hangga’t gusto nyo, ito si Diva pumipirma sa labas.

‘Mai~[DhonG]: Oi Diva paninirang puri yang ginagawa mo, kakasuhan kita ng libel!
MDiva: Sorry po kung kayo lang ang nasa screenies ko, sana lang po talaga may masira pa ako sa puri mo.

Nakupo Obvious: Lahat na lang ginagawan nyo ng katatawanan! Mas mukhang bot advocacy tong post mo. HYPOCRITE ka Diva! Kung mang-iinsulto ka lang sa pagpapatawa mo kilitiin mo na lang ako!
MDiva: Sorry na po ate or kuya Nakupo, san po ba kiliti mo? (lokang to, wag daw ako mang-insulto pero sya mismo tinawag akong hypocrite, sabagay…)

@ RagnaBoars Site:
RBoar Moderator Coernitz: Diva, I’m sorry but you have violated the rules of Ragnaboars.
MDiva: What did I violate?
Coernitz: As I have said before, no more I quit threads.
MDiva: Where in that interview did I mention that I am quitting? Besides may kanya-kanya namang isip mga tao sa RBoars ah! Teka tama ba ako?

NearBelly Saklay: Your post incites flaming, insults fellow RBoarers, Pinoy RO personnels and even other LUG! games.
MDiva: Geesh I’m just a fictional character created by some wacko, dirty-minded kid whose greatest frustration in life is not being able to level-up his acolyte in Valkyrie. Being a Moderator, I highly expect that you know fiction and just by mere looking at the title you should know that what I posted was fiction.

RBMods: We will suspend your account, block your IP and delete your posts.
MDiva: Wala man lang bang warning? Ban agad? Di nyo man lang ako ililipat sa Fan Art and Fiction Section nyo?

RBMods: Another thing, we will not let you participate on our cosplay competition anymore.
MDiva:Why naman like that? Coernitz close naman tayo di ba? Irereport ko tong pangyayaring to kay Girl Master Bhage.

Coernitz: That’s MP Coernitz. What you performed last LUG!Line was so corny we almost froze to death.
MDiva: That’s why we entitled it Frost Jokers Cookers. (What are the Mods’ problem with titles) Besides, Graveh Nah Iti is the one responsible for inserting such jokes in the client so don’t pin blame!

RBMods:
Our decision is final, history will not know that you even existed. Every parchment that you have written shall be burned and anyone who spreads your works, or merely mentions your name shall be punished. Wala kang respeto! Isa kang Insurrecto!
MDiva: Ipinahahayag ko lang sa pamamagitan ng kathang-isip na ito ang aking mga hinaing sampu ng aking mga kababayan na naglalaro dito. Kailangan ng iba sa kanila ng edukasyon ,ng kaalaman sa mga nangyayari, sa mga sistema at patakaran, ang kailangan namin ay reporma! Kailan pa kayo kikilos? Kapag puno na ang taong bayan sa bugbog, sipa, saksak at tama ng baril?

RBMods: FUEGO!!

Love at first sight

Kita ko lang sa blog ni Kaliwanagan, post ko din dito hehehe =)

Love at First Sight
Wislawa Szymborska


Both are convinced
that a sudden surge of emotion bound them together.
Beautiful is such a certainty,
but uncertainty is more beautiful.

Because they didn't know each other earlier, they suppose that
nothing was happening between them.
What of the streets, stairways and corridors
where they could have passed each other long ago?

I'd like to ask them
whether they remember-- perhaps in a revolving door
ever being face to face?
an "excuse me" in a crowd
or a voice "wrong number" in the receiver.
But I know their answer:
no, they don't remember.

They'd be greatly astonished
to learn that for a long time
chance had been playing with them.

Not yet wholly ready
to transform into fate for them
it approached them, then backed off,
stood in their way
and, suppressing a giggle,
jumped to the side. There were signs, signals:
but what of it if they were illegible.
Perhaps three years ago,
or last Tuesday
did a certain leaflet fly
from shoulder to shoulder?
There was something lost and picked up.
Who knows but what it was a ball
in the bushes of childhood.

There were doorknobs and bells
on which earlier
touch piled on touch.
Bags beside each other in the luggage room.
Perhaps they had the same dream on a certain night,
suddenly erased after waking.

Every beginning
is but a continuation,
and the book of events
is never more than half open.

-translated by Walter Whipple

Sorry if I wasnt able to post for the past couple of days, been busy with some stuff. When everything's all ironed out, I'll post it here. =)

I've been messing around with my old emails then I found this

Surviving the call center

“O sleep! O gentle sleep! Nature’s soft nurse, how have I frighted thee, That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down.” — William Shakespeare (1564-1616), British dramatist, poet. Henry IV, Part 2 (1600) act 3, sc.1

By Dr. Jose Pujalte Jr.

DO you work in a call center? This is for you.

First, the good news. You’ve probably been hired not just for your faux North American accent, facility of speech or patience. More than those qualities, you’re working there because you’re young and physically resilient.

Second, the bad news. If you’ve been getting graveyard shifts for the longest time and if you haven’t called in sick, you will. The body can take only so much abuse. And you’re no Superman (or Wonder Woman) who can’t be bothered with the common cold, a sore throat or even the flu. In fact, if you are getting these often enough and you see everyone around you with the same sickness, you might even think it’s normal. It’s not.

Now one of the main causes of chronic sickness is deranged sleep. This means several things: You may be suffering from lack of sleep, interrupted sleep, delayed sleep, inability to sleep, and restless sleep. The immune system of the body takes a hit in sleep disorders. With impaired body defenses, getting sick is just a matter of time.

Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder. The body has an "internal clock" that regulates a 24-hour cycle of biological processes – from changes in body temperature, to the release of hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, to digestion, to growth and healing of tissues and organs. "Circadian" is from the Latin "around the day," and disrupting the circadian rhythm leads to a malfunction of the internal body clock. This means, among other things, messing with the normal pattern of wanting to sleep when it is already dark.

Results of Less Sleep. According to the US National Sleep Foundation, adults need about 7 to 9 hours of sleep every day. But for sleep to be restorative, it must also follow the internal body clock that signals sleeping at night and being awake in the daytime. This is one reason that some call center workers who are up all night still have difficulty sleeping in the day. Now the sleep-deprived think and move more slowly, have problems remembering things, make more mistakes in doing chores, and are prone to irritability, anxiety, impatience, and depression. Call center workers on night shift suffer stomach problems like indigestion and heartburn, menstrual irregularities, colds, flu, and weight gain compared to day workers. In the long term, it is more likely for shift workers to get heart disease and hypertension.

Safety for the Sleep-Deprived. Drowsiness in the daytime (after the night shift) is common. This will certainly have an impact on activities that require alertness. In going home, it’s better not to drive. Instead, take public transportation or join a carpool. But if you must drive, drive defensively. If you are too fatigued, and if the call center has sleeping quarters, take a nap before going home.

How to Sleep Better. At home, make sleep a priority. Many adjustments can be done around the fact of night shift work. For example, make the bedroom as dark as possible to simulate night time. Minimize noise by asking house mates to turn down TV and radio volume. It helps to take a warm bath and lowering room temperature. To hasten sleep, do not make the brain work by solving crossword puzzles, reading a spy novel, or answering e-mail. For some, blocking out sensory stimulation means using earplugs and wearing an eye mask or shade. It makes sense to avoid caffeine, cola drinks, and other stimulants. Alcohol disturbs the sleeping cycle and you may wake up more tired than rested. A light snack before sleep helps in relaxation, too. Finally, exercise near bedtime will raise the body temperature and delay rest even more.

Chronic sleep loss or sleep disruption will make you age faster than you can say "dried prune." Even if you are young, take steps to protect your health before the body breaks down. Don’t ignore deepening fatigue – yawning, frequent blinking because of dry eyes or red eyes, slower movement, daytime drowsiness– all signs of a perilous "low batt" life.

Don’t be a casualty of global interaction.

Dear Blog,

I’m sorry I won’t be able to update you today. There’s an influx of calls coming in and I don’t have that much of a luxury to write about something. I’ll do my best to post something later.

The Road Not Taken

Monday shift at work, and I have nothing to do because it’s Labor Day in the U.S. so, I kind of advertised for some people to give me some topics that I can write about. Here’s one.

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

- Thanks to Ana for bringing up such a wonderful piece of art

I’ve first read this poem when I was still in college, in one of my English subjects. I didn’t know where I saved a copy of the reaction paper I made for this poem. But nonetheless, this was one of the most inspiring poems that I’ve read so far. Now, unto the poem itself.

The poem talks about a journey. It could be a journey towards a goal, a journey through life or a journey towards something of importance. As I read the poem, it comes to a point wherein along the way, in order to reach a certain goal, you find yourself stuck along a forked road. This is Robert’s way of symbolizing choices that you will need to make in order to achieve that goal. In the next line, Robert made several descriptions about that particular “path” that we can take. One path, wherein he said had “Better claim” could be a path which is easier, the other path could mean that it’s harder.

Nonetheless, what Robert wants to point out here is the importance of independence and personal freedom. That we should live every decision that we make in life. The poem points out that when we make these decisions, there will be no turning back.

Frost never said in this poem that the less traveled road is the most correct way but what he’s after is a traveler’s thoughts about the decisions that he made during the journey and the way that traveler ponders if that decision was correct.

I hope you had fun reading the poem as much as I did. =)

One of the most unforgettable experience I had with my online gaming career (asides from ~sHiELa1~ of course lol) was taking part on events like RPC 2004-2006, multiple EBs with Leng and her Ninja guild, fighting along side Cross guild, and meeting lots of people, di ko na kayo iisa isahin, sa sobrang dami nyo eh baka abutin ng gazillion pages tong blog post na to hehehe.

Miss you all guys! Hope Makita ko kayo this coming RPC. =)

This is dedicated to all my friends. Love you all.. =) /kis

Response to Noontime show scandal

Good day everyone, This’ll be my first ever blog post. So ya’ll can expect a lot more blog post from me. I’ll keep you updated with all the topics that I'm interested in and events that happened to my life and maybe along the way, we’ll learn a lesson or two. So please, come with me in this journey.

Now first up…

Wowowiee Vs Eat Bulaga

1^st up, I’m pretty amused with the drama that these two celebrities (Willie and Joey) had produced.

Don’t mistake me guys, I’m not the type of person who watches noontime shows on a daily basis (mostly I’m asleep at that hour or I’m busy playing online games), you’ll most likely find me in my bed watching Discovery Channel during that time because that slot coincides with mythbusters, which I find very interesting.

Now, unto the issue…

(Source: YouTube)

In this video, it shows that Willie mistakenly pulled out “0” in the box that he said contained the 2 million jackpot, later on he pulled out “2” from the same box.

Here’s Willie’s Statement…

(Source: YouTube)

(Source: YouTube)

Here’s Joey’s reply…

(Source: YouTube)

In this video, Joey attacks a “celebrity” (Its obvious who he is pertaining to). Nuff said.

My Opinion to this issue:

The first time that I watched Willie’s mistake in pulling out the slide, to be honest, it made my eyebrows twitch. But I finished the video first then also watched Joey’s reply.

Lemme comment first on Joey regarding this issue.

Ever since I was a kid, Eat Bulaga was still on Ch 2. I remember watching the tandem of Tito, Vic and Joey as stars of this long running variety show. I did watch Eat Bulaga when I was still a kid, but when the time that they transferred to GMA 7 to give way to APO hiking society show, I’ve lost track of what happened to the show. The only news I hear from them is from my mother who comments on how Joey’s side remarks always pertains to shows that compete with his show on that timeslot ie. APO, MTB, Wowowee.

As I watched Joey’s reply, I, somewhat became a little bit irritated on the way he continuously repeat details like “napanood ko to sa internet, sa dyaryo, sa radio, sa komentarista”, “ayon sa video sa youtube”, “ayon sa mga napakikinggan nyo sa internet”. Gawd, everybody knows what happened already. You don’t have to tell the story again (I’ve watched Willie’s video and your reply, and some details that Joey told his audience are crap). By continuously repeating details, he is successful in blurring some of the details of what truly happened, he is successful in adding insult to the injury of Willie and his staff, and lastly, he makes himself look good with all this comments that he made about the show and the host (which up until now, he doesn’t have the balls to name).

“Ang bata pag nadapa, tinatanong natin kung bakit”. Really now? If you really cared about the kid, you’ll pick him right up and brush the dirt of his pants. Imagine you’re a parent then your child fell to the ground, are you gonna just stare at your kid, and then ask him why he fell down? Or are you gonna pick him up, treat his injuries then move on? If I were your kid, I’d complain why I had you as a father. A father who only cared about himself, his ratings and not his family (showbiz and the artist).

“Explain before you complain”. Well, the explanation to what happened there was pretty logical (I’ll come to this later) if you’re the type of person who doesn’t think bad of other people. Especially coming from Joey who spent like 12 years of his life in noontime show processes.

Now unto what I thought REALLY HAPPENED to the show…

First, let us put ourselves in the shoes of the manager of the show, the props people, and the management.

The Wilyonaryo show consist of 12 boxes, 4 of which contains the prizes (2 million, 1 million, 500K, House and lot) technically giving the contestant 1 out of 3 chances to get a prize (33.33% of winning). If you are the staff or props person of the show, you would be thinking everyday on which colored boxes you would put the prizes right? And also you would be thinking of the most economical of doing it instead of having to repaint the boxes everyday with the number “2”, right?

The most efficient way of dealing with a contest like this is, make 12 boxes with different colors, then make 12 slides containing “0”, then make 4 slides marking the possible prizes. The benefit of this? You only have 4 slides to shuffle, you’ll just place the prize slide over the existing “0” slide. Its fast, it’s efficient and its economical. I think what happened to that event was Willie just made a mistake on pulling out that slide.

Of course a lot of you will say that I’m biased blah blah all that crap. To tell you, I’m not. I won’t reap any benefits writing this. If there will be any benefit that I’m gonna get in writing this, I want that benefit to be that all my readers opened up their minds by getting all the details first on an issue then producing constructive and intelligent comments and taking necessary actions so that bad things won’t happen again.

My bottom line to this issue is this. As far as I know, there are only two noontime shows who gets majority of the viewers during that time slot. Couldn’t you just share those viewers? Why do you keep on dragging each other down? You think you’ll gain respect doing that? You think you’ll up your ratings, yourself and your dignity by mutilating your opponents? Well, think again.
