Event Duration: October 27- November 17, 2010
Final Product: Perisca [1]

Make sure you have the following items so you can continue with the quest without any delay:


Big Fan of Magic:
- blue gemstone x1
- wind stone (bought at the secret room where the ninja job change takes place in Amatsu) x1
- fan of cat monster/ folding fan of cat ghost (Civil Servant/ Mao Guai drop at Louyang Dungeon) x1


Huge Spray of Flowers: 
-spray of flowers x25 
-thin stem x5 (Parasite drop at umbala field 03)


Process:
1. Go to Payon with your ingredients for Big Fan of Magic. Talk to Capt. Feles (cat NPC) at Pay_arche.gat 65.142 near Payon cave. Give him blue gemstone x1, wind stone, and fan of cat monster x1 to make the Big Fan of Magic.


2. Once done with the Big Fan of Magic, you may sit and wait for the cherry blossom tree beside Capt. Feles to glow (make sure your effects are turned on so you'll see it glowing) and when it does it will drop spray of flowers along the area. Be as nimble as you can before they disappear. There are also cherry blossom trees around Prontera (near the fountain and the stat reset NPC) and they give more branches than the ones in Payon.
note: it sometimes takes 10-20 mins. before the trees glow again @_@


3. Once you have collected 25 pieces of spray of flowers, talk to him again and tell him that you want to bind them, and he will give you Huge Spray of flowers for every 5 pcs. of spray of flowers + 1 pc. of thin stem. You'll need 5 Huge Spray of Flowers in order for you to create a Perisca. Don't worry about the gift wrapper, the Girl with a sigh NPC in Lutie will be the one giving you that.


4. Go to Lutie if you have 5 pcs. of spray of flowers. Talk to Girl with a sigh at xmas 172 133 and she will ask you what spring is like. Show her the huge spray of flowers x5 and she will give you gift wrapper. Talk to her again so she can create your Perisca. And there you have it! /no1

Finally! Our college have allowed us to leave before 12pm! I thought they were going to do it again just like before :|

It was at around 10:30 am when DepEd and CHED released an announcement of suspension of classes for all levels. The news broke out to my Facebook neighborhood at almost 11am. But our college released us at around past 11. On my way home I had a hard time walking because of the strong winds that kept blowing my umbrella.

It sucks because we made an effort to go to school despite the winds and rain (and flood in some areas like the ones in my classmate's) and then they will only announce once the students have already left their homes. I must say it's one heck of a pain in the ass not just for us students but for the parents as well. Well of course you wasted money for transportation and for nothing.

I pity those people who went to school today and got wet. I hope this won't happen again :|

The media is late again. DepEd says they won't be announcing if there are classes or none in a site I saw earlier. The new media on the other hand is useful, it was via internet I learned immediately of the suspension of classes.

I hope this won't happen again. @_@

"Once a member will always be a member"

I know some of my guildmates are dismayed by the fact that our beloved guild, which is turning 2 this November 5 will be disbanding.

I stumbled across this manga called "Cat Street" while browsing my list of blogs that I follow.. and this one came from my classmate Kara. 


Cat Street started off with the story of Keito Aoyama, a child superstar who then suddenly disappeared from the limelight due to an incident with the show she was on. For seven years she locked herself from the world, moping about what happened... until she met this mysterious man who showed her and told her to go to the school called El Liston, a free school in their community. From there she met an old classmate Taiyou and then later on Rei, Momiji and Kouichi who became her friends. And through them she finds herself breaking free from the wall she created between her and the world. 


The plot was really good because its really unique and it was really a page turner-- that I was able to finish it within a day (started at around 2pm and finished at 9pm) XD. And oh, did I mention they have a live action series/ jdorama? Well I was really surprised but then it makes me wanna watch the whole thing right after this midterms week. I've really learned a lot from it and I think its message would be much like the one sent out by Skip Beat! (Hint: it has something to do with forgiving oneself and starting all over again... )-- okay I just gave you not a hint anymore lol!


Anyway, here are some stuffs from the manga which I really liked XD

As of now I am still waiting for my BAMBOO tablet from my aunt and cuz from US and I'm dying to have it now. Really I do. I can't wait to remake my blog and fully live its blog title which is "daily doodles". 


Anyways, the climate is getting unstable every year due to global warming... And I could really feel the impact everyday as I go home from school. The scorching heat of the sun never fails to give me my daily dose of headaches. I don't know-- but I couldn't stand it anymore and that's why I'm asking for another Earth Hour this year. @_@


Here's the poster of last year's Earth Hour. Its theme is Vote the Earth which kinda relates to last year's election in States wherein Obama pulls it off at the last minute creating a new memorable moment in the history of United States. But since its about the Earth-- the ones who made this event possible thought of something that coincides with the election and where EVERYONE gets to VOTE. And yes a lot of people did. Over hundreds of millions people in 400 cities in 88 countries switched off their lights for an hour and voted for Earth. Isn't that amazing? 


But hey! good news, this 8.30pm, Saturday 27th March 2010, will be another Earth Hour! So lets help Mother Nature and Vote Earth again this year!

I was searching for an ad about a multimedia company for my DESKPUB plate when I came across this cute ad over Youtube. Its that simple but it really says what the company's all about. Well I hope that does give me an idea for a multimedia company name and logo.

Oh btw, I've just noticed, "thinking out of the box" is kinda common amongst all designers. Its just that I keep on hearing that catchphrase from my professors in college.

Are you bored wearing the same old clothes every week? Do you want to mix and match em and look good but don't have a clue if it would look good? Then why not try this site on for a size and you could even try mix and matching clothes you've seen or clothes you've never tried on before.


Check out Looklet.com and you might just love it! Designers and non-designers are heading to it to mix and match and create new looks for this season and for the seasons to come! 

You'd totally go gaga over a hundred choices of clothes and 17 models to choose from (backgrounds as well). Its definitely personalized! 


Here are some of my sample designs/ looks I've made during my stay there:






I'm pretty glad they've fixed the glitches when creating a look. Back then when the site was still new, I couldn't remove or make the clothes I clicked on to be worn over the new clothes I've chosen.


Head on and start customizing your own look!

I've recently discovered a tutorial site with a help of a friend that caters to the needs of those people who wanna learn Photoshop badly. Yes. From the basic editing of a photo to making a website through Photoshop-- its really guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing and start playing around with your Photoshop once again!


"Tutorials007 provides your free and easy all kind of tutorials and articles. Feel free to use our adobe photoshop, adobe flash, asp, php, css and other free tutorials for your learning purposes."


They started out way back on December 23rd, 2007 and a lot of people head on to their site to learn more about these stuffs, which I really find educating. As for me, I do love self-studying aside from educating myself by going on college... and this would be really a great help for an art and design student like me because I get additional knowledge from this site. :D Definitely a thumbs up for me.

Here are some inspirational works I found while browsing through their site. Some I have seen posted in one of our computer labs at school.






So why not head on to their site now and learn new stuffs? XD enjoy!

Hell yeah, everything concerned with my ex ended already, yesterday night. And now, let's make those creative juices flowing coz we're starting up this short animation for pRO (my chosen project) in my 2DAnim1 class in DLS-CSB.


Meet Heather Damon (she's supposedly the sister of Cecil Damon-- I just made it up lol. I wanna continue the story though). And yup, just like her elderly sister, she's a priestess in training and aims to meet her sister in BIO labs someday-- face to face.


And so, here's my Character Design and Body Turn.:


Character Design:

And yup, this month, I'll be starting to work on my first set of tutorials (as requested by my cousins and colleagues :D). Next stop! Chibi Tutorials. So please do visit my Deviantart page for more updates ;)

Honestly I'm no pvp person.. but a friend told me that there would be an upcoming 'friendly' match this siege on Saturday between my guild and theirs... I got worked up and suddenly went practicing in the pvp even if I'm just a level 74 (trapper type) sniper.


I haven't been leveling up these days.. I was broke due to finals and other stuffs I'm busy at. Other things I now prioritize than playing Ragnarok Online. I needed to catch up on my drawing and coloring skills as well. But then.. sometimes.. I feel left out in the game... even during RO talks in guild eb's. I read stuff but not all. I know stuff but not everything about RO. Sometimes I feel useless in the game. Sometimes, I just use the thought "at least you get to help your guild during WOEs by setting up traps" to keep me in the game. But for me.. how am I supposed to.. last if I kept feeling this way?


This isn't my first time. It happened a lot of times.. and sometimes I end up going inactive or almost on the verge of quitting if it weren't only for my friends... especially our guild master who coaxes me.


And sometimes I forget his advices.. those advices that gave me hopes back then. 


Why am I feeling this way.

Tight schedules, christmas parties here and there, choir practices, never ending projects and plates and my irrational side... they all keep me from posting worthy-to-read stuff here. I don't know. Recently.. I've been writing some blog posts here.. but I never had the guts to publish them. Maybe a part of me wants to stop letting everyone I feel about the things happening to me anymore.. maybe... just maybe..

Anyways.. December was really nice. Especially in my school. The positive and warm feeling I'm getting right now helps me a lot on my course... especially on my subjects. I am pretty much inspired to do a lot of artworks right now. Its like inspirations are overflowing everywhere XD. I do hope in the next days I'll be able to channel this out in the right way. :)

Networking sites got flooded with word of congratulations for Philippines' Manny Pacquiao as early as 1:45 PM. Livestream video on internet helped a lot in letting everyone updated in the match even though there are livestream shows in local cinemas in Philippines as early as 9 AM of November 15, 2009.Pound for Pound boxers, Pacquiao (in red shorts) and Cotto (in white shorts) faced off at MGM Grand and made a history. The match ends at around 12th round when the referee stops the fight with 2:05 remaining, making Manny the winner of the bout.

My recent weekend was probably the best ever ones I had in my entire life. Last November 7 and 8, gamers from all over the Philippines gathered at the World Trade Center at Buendia to be part of LU Live '09.

As early as noon of November 6, LU fans were already lined up outside the gates of WTC to take part in the Early Bird Promo. Well I was fascinated and I was really amazed at the patience of these people just for that. XD Talk about LU fandom.

Of course LU Live '09 wouldn't be complete with games, events and LU City... and this year, my guild, Revamped Blasphemy was lucky enough to be part of it.
