FlyFF Couple Level 4

Our FlyFF Couple level is still at level 4. We've been busy with our offline lives, and haven't got the time to play FlyFF. So as of now, we're stuck at level 102 for many~ many weeks already. Look at the screenies below to see how much time it takes to level up a level 4 couple.

Take a look at the Couple System exp bar.. Note, that we were both online non-stop when these screenies were taken, and up to this very moment while I'm typing this article we're still online and still at level 4. You can do the calculations..

girl & kitty

just another background & texture attempt, full view pls..
i'm bored, just wanna do this kind of stuffs. they're still nameless..

MaRsHaLL with pet dragon

Another texture and background attempt.. featuring my baby MaRsHaLL and his pet dragon..

Haven't seen him for days now, and I really miss him so much already. I wasn't able to finish the drawing he's been asking for months ago coz I don't feel like doing it.. hehe! sorry nak.. And as promised, here it is - MaRsHaLL and pet dragon. He really loves the Baby Dragon (FlyFF looter pet) that we bought. And he's been keeping all kinds of Egg Pets in his FlyFF character. It shows how he loves to have some company around him, whether in-game or in real life. That's why he really loves staying in Carcar with my in-laws.

nameless

This is the first experiment I made on textures and backgrounds using Photoshop, and as always with the help of my dear mouse (got no wacom, just plain mouse!), and SAI for the lineart.

This girl is the result of me wanting an original character, and this kitty is her pet. I still haven't come up with their names yet.

She loves pirates, wearing t-shirts and short pants with an inspired prints from Trafalgar Law & Batholomew Kuma's pants (if you are a One Piece fanatic you surely know who these people are ). And this kitty (inspired by my FlyFF's looter pet - Catcage) is only made up of cotton and stuffed with rags, which she made herself. And it's alive!!

LOL. I even made up an introduction! I'm hoping I could improve this skill.. and I'm open for tips, coz I'm tired of discovering things on my own.. and I'm so damn lazy in doing backgrounds! hehe!

i miss my -raspberry`crush

I was browsing my files today when my eyes caught an old folder named "RAN Images". It contains RAN Online screenshots that I love. O, how I miss those old RAN Online days.. I wish that duplication bug never happened, I must still be playing RAN Online up to now. This is the best MMORPG I have played so far!

This screeny was taken last August 19, 2008 while I was vending just beside the locker (as usual). Wearing a Hoversuit, with my violet set. I used my bb's character (that Archer in the center) to take this close-up shot.

I really miss my -raspberry`crush..

sickish bbKUN

mah bb is sick (again).. I don't think we could visit our baby MaRsHaLL tomorrow in Carcar. I miss him so badly already..

Get well soon bb kuu.. I'll kill you if you won't!!

hey bb let's play! u're snoozing again this early, and it's only 11:23pm and it's Friday today. hihihihi!

it is written

Just finished watching Slumdog Millionaire, and damn, it really rocks! I thought it will be just another boring movie.. I have never seen its trailer and its commercials. I only heard news that it did won lots of awards from the 2009 Academy Awards. And that Jai Ho song, only heard it from the Pussy Cat Doll's commercial for their Doll Domination concert and from the CPDRC inmates' latest dance craze! So that's where the song originally came from! Ok, I admit, I am really that outdated! Good thing bb was that persistent.. he was able to make me sit with him and watch the movie.

The movie also reminded me of the movie Kung Fu Panda.. because of this :
"there's no such thing as coincidence"

it is written..

it is destiny!

From a forwarded txt message

Can you explain this to me?

We were at my in-laws yesterday to visit MaRsHaLL, and for my brother-in-law's 16th birthday today -- RK. We spent our evening there, we slept at the room where MaRsHaLL is occupying together with his uncle - Trio.

I was trying to sleep.. trying all the comfortable sleeping position.. but I kept on waking up.. With the electric fan on, swinging.. it was really a cold night.

I know I wasn't asleep yet, I was just closing my eyes.. and I'm so damn sleepy.. and I'm trying to sleep. When suddenly I felt this sudden coldness, so cold (like ice) that I could feel it through my bones. I don't feel it throughout my whole body though, but only on a certain spot - the upper portion of my body, from chest to head and on to my arms. I know it wasn't the air from the fan, because I could differentiate their coldness, and I still can feel the air from the fan swinging to and fro my body.. and it was completely different. I wanted to open my eyes to see what was going on, but I cannot. I wanted to move but I just can't. It felt like something was covering me. It scared me, tried to calm myself.. checked on my breathing, I was scared I might forget to breath, but I was still breathing normally. I know I am. Then in my mind I started praying.. and still calming myself. I did not try to move again or exert any force. When suddenly I felt the same coldness on my feet. Same thing, it was only on a certain spot - in my feet, and not on my legs. But still I continued praying.. for some reasons I felt so angry with what's happening.. I started cursing in my mind.. I wanted to make an F signal with my hand, but still I can't move. I wanted to ask help from bb who was sleeping right below my feet, he was caressing my feet every now and then before that sudden coldness came. But this time, he must have fallen asleep really well, that he wasn't rubbing them anymore. I wanted to kick his hand, but I just can't move my legs.. I then gave-up, but still I just continued on praying.. after some time I then felt free.. the coldness is no longer there.

Incidents like these had always happened to me before when I was still pregnant.. that I could no longer move, I wanted to open my eyes but I can't.. but with the absence of the said coldness and I was asleep on those times. I don't know, but these things happened to me before, during afternoon naps, and I was always alone during those times. I was so scared I might not wake up again that I don't wanna sleep anymore, but I just can't help to stop myself from falling asleep. But after we transferred to our new home (hawsy), it stopped occurring.

I ain't making up this story, I'm just hoping to get an answer.

My Yoyo Jester

Finally, after days of grinding.. my acrobat is now a yoyo jester. As promised I was able to get the special gifts from the Coral Beach Rush event. The +3 level armor (Restron Set with Def+48, STR+10, Hit Rate+15% bonuses); the random Guardian Weapon box (I got a Guardian Axe - pretty useless! it ended up on my vendor's inventory) and also received the 10 pcs Amplication ES.

I did not use the Restron Set, coz it's just another trash. What I am using is the Hyper Set, a level 45 armor with Def+55, Bow Attack Power+10, Yoyo Attack Power+11, FP Consumption-20%, MP Consumption-20%, Additional Damage of Critical Hits+40% bonuses. Though you really need to be effing rich coz you'll be needing this armor 'til level 90 because of its 40% ADoCH, which all YJ's really need. You have to upgrade it and pierce it to the maximum level you could probably get or else you'll be dead! Or you can simply buy it from other players which surely does cost a lot. I said up to level 90 because of the Restra/Rasra Set a level 90 armor with Def+49, Crit Rate+15%, Additional Damage of Critical Hits+40% bonuses, it is the next set you'll be needing.

Overall, I did enjoy playing my YJ, it's critical hits mostly. But I don't like kissing some other RM's (Ring Masters) butt just to get me level up! It's a very buff/support/RM dependent character. I don't wanna play dual or 2 computers at the same time either. Usually I play it with my bb using my other RM character or sometimes his BP (Bill Poster) to support me. Unlike with my BP, I could always play it without the hassle of getting a supporter around.

I really don't think I could get it to level 90 for its next armor set. With the little time I have, and with the little interest left, and with it's very annoying knock-backs, it will then end up like my other characters - a storage.

Now, I'm going straight and focus with my bbCHAN.. hopefully.

Sorry nak..

Today, is my son's first day as a grade schooler. As much as I wanna be there to assist him.. to see him.. I cannot. There are so many things I needed to carry through at the office.. I was so eager to finish them all that I was able to do it half the time. But I still can't make it there today.. deliverables, reports, paper works, requests.. grr!

I'm glad I was able to talk to him during lunch break, knowing that he is doing well and happy with his new school, his new teacher and classmates.. and he was so excited to get back after their lunch break.

It really aches my heart hearing him that he wanted us to be there to see him.. But I promised we will be there this Friday (June 5th) - my leave. We will be there til the 6th for my brother-in-law's birthday - RK.

God knows how much I miss him.. though we have seen each other last weekend.. There are so many things that reminded me of him, so I keep on missing him.:(
