I'm baaaaaack.

2011-01-03T11:10:00.002+08:00

I'm back at work. I don't know where my 2 week Christmas vacation went. I had a busy month, starting with the Cataclysm release. Tuesday, got my copy and started questing on lock. Wednesday, played all day (gotta love how we didn't have work on Dec 8!), Thursday, played after work. Friday, ding 85! Saturday, decided to catch up on sleep. Haha! I usually hate questing but I enjoyed the

One of the features of World of Warcraft that I love the most is Dual Specialization (or what others call DUEL spec lawl). I love it so much that I sometimes wish I could have triple spec on my Warlock. YES, MY WARLOCK. I'd have 2 PvE specs (Affliction + something) and a PvP spec (most likely Afflic too) I've been an Affliction girl since level 62. Our current GM is a fellow lock and a

What I learned from Patch 4.0.1

2010-10-14T01:53:00.003+08:00

Just like the rest of the intarwebz, I was really excited about the patch. I woke up at 2:00 am hoping to take a peek but servers were still down by the time I left for work at 7:30 am. I've been reading up on the changes, watching YouTube videos, bookmarking my talent calculators and really looking forward to playing. Although I only started playing during Burning Crusade, I was used to patch

/facepalm

2010-09-28T14:22:00.003+08:00

Yeah, so that whole personal domain thing didn't work out. I only managed to keep it updated with a couple of posts, then I eventually got tired of it. So here I am, YET AGAIN, attempting to blog. I realized that as much as I love playing my Warlock, I also enjoy playing my other toons so having a class centered blog may not be such a good idea. I also tend to cover different angles of the

2009-03-11T08:34:00.004+08:00

Yep, I haven't updated in ages. Bad Warlock, bad! The thing is, I'm going through a lot of changes, both in game and in real life. First, so that whole class leader thing wasn't a fluke, I am now one of the Guild Officers which I don't mind, actually. I have to confess that I like it, I've always found joy in helping others so the title just makes it a little official, I guess. Two, I'm not

Arthas is in Manila, Philippines.

2008-11-12T11:21:00.009+08:00

Data Blitz, my trusty software supplier, confirmed yesterday (Nov 11) that they already have my Collector's Edition in store. I can pick it up on Nov 13 at around 10:00am, which is less than 24 hours from now. O___O I must say that I am quite impressed. Although my country, the Philippines, does not usually get love from international companies, it's amazing to know that we're not so left

New mount

2008-11-12T09:28:00.007+08:00

I've been wanting to get a Netherwing drake for the longest time. A friend of ours didn't want to get one with us since he says it's not as rare anymore. I wanted one not because it was "rare", I just thought it looked really cool. The Netherwing dailies were a good alternative to make gold. Being on a PvP server, Isle of Quel' Gankage was always a warzone. It's amazing how Mages and Rogues

Reunited and it feels so good.

2008-10-23T11:38:00.012+08:00

Not so good actually. I leveled my warlock as Demonology (mostly because I wanted the Felguard) but switched to Affliction at level 65 and have been that spec ever since. With the new patch, I decided to try out Demonology again. Between Demonology & Affliction, I say the latter suits my play style more. I have yet to try Destruction (mostly because I don't have the gear and the crit yet to

Still busy. /sigh

2008-08-15T11:26:00.002+08:00

Been busy at work, hence the lack of updates. Also, the guild I'm in had a lot of geared people leave (which I hear happens a lot) so they are trying gear the new 70s for raiding. And guess what? My Warlock is one of the characters they want to gear up. /clap While it's something I eventually want to get into, I'm scared that all this "schedule" will at some point drive me crazy. Usually, I

Another reason to level tailoring.

2008-08-12T11:48:00.003+08:00

I wanted take up Engineering before just so I could get the Rolfcopter. According to the transcript page found here, I don't have to feel so envious because Tailors will be able to make their own Magnificent Flying Magic Carpet. How cool is that? I made a couple of goals for myself last week. Updates are 1) I finally got my Merciless Gladiator Spellblade, 2) I got to level my Enchanting to

I get no love from Blizz

2008-08-07T09:28:00.004+08:00

I got an e-mail from Blizzard letting me know about their new Recruit A Friend promo. Apart from getting the bonus 1 month play time when the friend converts to a standard account and pays for their first month, you get to summon each other, earn more xp when questing and perhaps the coolest reward will be a Zhevra mount. I got this e-mail 4 days after 4 of my friends signed up for trial

More learnings about being 70

2008-08-04T09:47:00.005+08:00

I want to finish crafting my Shadow's Embrace set so that I can have decent dps (and confidence) to join Guild runs to Karazhan. I'm currently sitting at about 713 bonus damage (buffed but without Superior Wizard Oil yet) so I need to push it a bit more. I also have 71 spell hit (and maxed out Suppression) so I will definitely have to get new gear to mix stats around. Some people in the guild

WoW pick up lines

2008-07-31T12:08:00.003+08:00

I don't really read the WoW threads too much but I saw this one and decided to share. A guy announces that he will give his Wrath of the Lich King beta key to the person who comes up with the best WoW related pick up line. Some of the posts are so cringe-worthy and bad, they're actually good. Boyfriend, knowing your sense of humor, I think you'll get a hoot out of this thread. Haha. Thread is

First times

2008-07-30T10:12:00.001+08:00

I'm alive! So I finally have my first 70, my Blood Elf Warlock. I dinged while questing in Netherstorm, somewhere in Wizard's Row. I remember a conversation my boyfriend and I had when we started playing. I remember him asking me, "What happens when you reach 70? What else is there to do?" I think I replied, "There's so many things to do. You do attunement quests, you raid, you do dailies and

So...

2008-07-10T02:40:00.000+08:00

Been really busy but just wanted to say....DING! My first 70! Huzzah! Will definitely update soon. Now, off to finish work, and MAYBE farm motes and do dailies in between. Squeee! <3

New design

2008-06-30T12:36:00.001+08:00

I've been tinkering with the blog layout for a couple of days now. I have probably gone through 4 complete redesigns since. While there are still some items I want to tinker with, I'm glad to say that this current design is closest to what I had in mind and wanted to achieve.I'm also testing this Blogger posting widget. Will see how it works. Updates soon, I promise!For now, off to reward myself

Back from the dead.

2008-06-13T11:48:00.000+08:00

The thing about having a blog that no one reads, nobody really cares if you don't have any new posts. Yes, it's quite sad but such is life. T_T Anyway, apart from being really lazy, there is a reason why I have been away from my computer. A bunch of friends and I went to the beach. It's beautiful, I tell you. If I had to sum up the trip in a few words, I would say sun, beer and laughter. Good

Hi, I'm Trina and I'm an altoholic.

2008-04-25T14:01:00.000+08:00

This comic strip is full of win. I have a couple of alts as well, one or two for every class, so I can relate. Gaaah. >.O

Phat Lewt and PvP

2008-04-25T03:48:00.000+08:00

I tried to farm runecloth in Western Plaguelands last night. I figured, it was a good way to spend my time since I was able to a) get runecloth to level my tailoring (and make some money) b) collect some items for Argent Dawn quests (and so I don't have to compete for drops with boyfriend) and c) get a few xp and catch up since I'm behind by about 20k xp. I was doing okay for the first few

Pro gamers to carry the Olympic torch

2008-04-22T10:40:00.000+08:00

O' rly? Well, according to this article, pro Warcraft III gamers XiaoFeng "Sky" Li and Jaeho "Moon" Jang, will join 8 other professional gamers of Team Razer to carry the Olympic Torch in China. As a gamer myself, I find this interesting. While I strongly believe that professional gaming takes a lot of skill, dedication, practice and training, I wouldn't consider it in the level of Olympic

Yeah, sure. Good luck with that then. /mock

Fun run

2008-04-15T05:35:00.000+08:00

Guildies accompanied boyfriend and I through Blackrock Depths last weekend. We tried to collect most of the quests on Saturday and got up early on Sunday to log on and meet them, as it was Saturday evening their time. Boyfriend and I are now at level 56 so the "run throughs" are getting harder and more challenging, even if we have 1 level 70 with us. At the moment, we're quite lucky that real

Vendor Camping

2008-04-08T13:03:00.000+08:00

Darkmoon Faire is in Mulgore this week so you can expect lots of vendor camping to happen. My boyfriend actually makes the booth his inn and logs out there. I haven't really camped the Darkmoon vendors before, or any vendor for that matter, until last night. I finally got my Tailoring past 260 and wanted to get the pattern to make the runecloth bag. I travel to Winterspring hoping to get it and

Hi, my name is Trina and I'm addicted to WoW.

2008-03-31T12:10:00.000+08:00

You know you're addicted to World of Warcraft when during the meeting with the boss, she mentions the government announcing Monday, April 7, as a non-working holiday and you automatically think, "ZOMG, I can stay up late on Sunday night to play WoW." /blink

Server downtime

2008-03-28T11:49:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, a couple of servers went down. It was supposed to be just a rolling restart and wasn't supposed to take long but for some reason, it did. I was tired of waiting and wanted to play so I thought of creating a new character on a new server. I've always been curious to see what a new server is like, specifically the economy is a relatively low populated realm. I checked the realm

Patch Day!

2008-03-26T14:01:00.000+08:00

Yep, Patch 2.4 is out today. While my lowbie toon still has a loooong way to go before being able to see Magister's Terrace (which is amusingly being abbreviated to MrT. Lawl), I've always liked reading about patch notes and seeing what I can look forward to. Boyfriend and I were saying that we wanted to get attuned to enter Black Temple and Mount Hyjal before 2.4 goes live but that is obviously

Mission accomplished.

2008-03-16T19:20:00.001+08:00

I reached level 50 last night so I got my Felguard. Woot! Everyone, meet Jhuuroon. /wave These random minion names are just funny. My imp is called Bizgup, my Voidwalker is Thokthak (we call him TT for short), my Succubus is named Dartai, my Felhound is Czaanam and my Felguard is Jhuuroon. My friend's imp-slash-mana battery is called Kuppad, which I find funny because in Tagalog (one of

Random Stuff

2008-03-14T10:42:00.000+08:00

It's Friday. I dinged last night while questing in Feralas and am now level 49. I tried to grind last night to try and get to level 50 but it was already 2:00 am and I had to get up for work in a few hours. So naturally, I came in late today. But man, one more point away from my Felguard! So near yet so far, just like the weekend! On a more positive note though, I met my goal to have 200g by the

Twinking Thoughts

2008-03-12T11:07:00.000+08:00

The other night, instead of questing, I wanted to do Warsong Gulch. For sometime, I have been stuck using my Crystalline Cuffs (yes, the shame!) because I couldn't find another pair of cuffs that gave spell damage, no matter how little. I felt like I was compensating anyway by adding the +7 stamina, but yes, I know that its replacement is loooong overdue. I was about 10 marks short from getting

New area: Sunwell

2008-02-12T14:05:00.000+08:00

The WoW community is currently buzzing with news about patch 2.4 While it has been reported that it is currently near impossible to transfer characters to the PTR at the moment, some enterprising people created new characters and decided to swim all the way to Sunwell. Priests were used to get to the island by healing themselves to avoid dying from fatigue. It's crazy but sure sounds like fun!

How I spent my Saturday...

2008-02-11T11:18:00.000+08:00

Level 70 guild friends offered to run us through Zul'Farrak. Finally collected stacks and stacks of Mageweave cloth to level my tailoring, as I am currently stuck at 225. I just need to grind in Stranglethorn Vale or Hinterlands and pray to the gaming gods that I farm Wildvine and Heart of the Wild to craft my Dreamweave Circlet and Dreamweave Gloves. There's also the Auction House but at this

Happy Lunar New Year everyone!

It will be a very busy week.

2008-02-04T13:04:00.000+08:00

Apart from the regular day job, I am doing a couple of side jobs to earn extra money. I edit and design the monthly newsletter at church and this month, I was also commissioned to design a flyer for this new event venue. I have a deadline in 2 weeks for another side job, a pre-school Montessori yearbook that I'm supposed to design and layout. Because work has been piling up, it's been harder

Save the drama for ya momma.

2008-02-03T15:02:00.000+08:00

Seriously. We were trying to power level to 40 so that we can finally get our mounts. To do this, we decided to form a pick up group. I've done PuGs before but usually, we would get a leather wearer so that between my lock and his Pally, we don't have to worry about sharing items with others. Last night, we joined a group that wanted to run SM Graveyard, Lib and Armory. It was actually

I found myself creating an alt on Bronzebeard hoping to be able to sign up with all girl guild Daughters of the Horde. Why? Well, I want to experience what it would be like playing in an all girl guild. Granted that most of them might be continents away and would make it hard to find a group during my time, I feel like trying just the same. You see, I currently play on a PVP server. I
