ZX Phoenix Lady: zAYTie (Interview)

Character/s Name: zAYTie
Character Class: Heaven Sound Temple

Interview:

Where do you usually play? How many hours do you stay in-game? (average estimation of hours spend in-game)
I play ZX Online at our Home Sweet Home.
My estimated hours spending in-game is 12-15 hours for Serious Leveling including Quest Mode, Tambay Mode and Vend Mode. Additional 5-6 Hours when I go to sleep for Leeching Mode – Power leveling by the help of my Clanmates. XD

How long have you been playing ZXOnline?
I started to play ZXOnline since CBT last December 2008. I explored the game and I liked it… and so, up until now.. I’m still an active gamer of ZX.

How did you know about the game?
An advertisement from e-Games Official Website, Official Discussion Board, and gossips coming from my e-Gamer Friends.

Do you have a clan / guild / family in-game? What’s the name of your clan / guild / family?
Former member of XIII Clan (December 2008 – February 2009) and now, a member of LOTUS Clan (March 2009 – Present)
*parang resume lang eh noh?! Working experience* XD

Who are the players in-game that you look up to? (role models) and why?

This one is tough. I really admire those online gamers who don’t use 3rd party program; who manually play the game with all their heart and effort. I mean, we all know that the game itself has a man nature option or what you called as Talisman and it has a time limit depending on the level, but this one is excused. Just like some players used to set their automatic response as “I’m using man nature! AFK”, Nobody responds when you whisper them from time to time. Hell!!! They must be kidding me.. They have an unlimited Man Nature.  Woooahh! LOL!

However, these role models were the one who play fair yet they still reach the level cap without cheating even they see their fellow players using the said 3rd party program, they were not tempted nor tried to do it. And oh! She’s Desire. Her In-Game Name is Desire. Take note the word “SHE“. Yep! She’s a female online gamer. I met her when I was in XIII Clan and I used to know her more when we talked at Ventrilo.

She’s so amazing and she really knows everything in-game. Based on my experience, I used to act like a newbie on the guild chat. I frequently ask questions about the quest, crafting items, and random stuffs. I remember that I asked her to open my account just to finish the jumping quest wherein I really don’t know how to do it. Hahaha! She finished it just for one time and advised me to try to explore the game by myself. You’ll be very proud of yourself because you did it by your own exploration. Oh! her real name is Mariel. Yeah. I really missed her :( I bet you.. if you will know her.. You’ll just say, She ROCKS!!

There are also online gamer that I really knew who help in-game without asking for anything in return: They were BlckXIII and SimzXIII from XIII Clan. Suing(Clan Master) and DarkMike  from Lotus Clan (my present clan).

Do you have a partner in-game? What’s her / his character name?
Yes! He’s zOYTie, my real life boyfriend. His character is an Azure Cloud Temple – also known as Wizard-like class (I’m the one who created his character). Actually, It supposed to be a Ghost King Sect Temple because the typical character he most commonly create is a swordsman-like class. But sad to say, he’s not playing anymore because he’s too busy on his Job.

We’ve been together in any online games. Like for example, If Z1 played CABAL, Z2 will play CABAL too. It’s just like this “zOYTie and zAYTie together… forever” Bongga! XD
And most of the players whenever they see us together in-game, they were amazed of our in-game names and some thought that were an unidentical twins. XD

How did you meet?
I met him in a Television Commercial way back year 2004. We became good friends and tada! Our long friendship turned into lovers..

Do you have any inspirations to keep you playing?
e-Gamer Girls Club is my inspiration; Because of them, I wouldn’t be here continuing my responsibility as their President. I really love what I am doing and they all became a part of my life as well as the E-Games family.

What do you usually do in-game besides leveling?
Exploring the Map especially dungeons, boss hunting alone then call my clanmates whenever I found one (XD), chatting and sharing jokes with my guildmates and friends, dueling (bwahahahaha!), picture taking and capturing videos of my character.

And before the time hits 6pm, I’m always in a hurry because the fishing event is soon to be on. (XD) It’s really fun, exciting and the event requires you to be “VERY VERY ALERT”. Sometimes I get pissed off saying: “Damn! I wanna PK you!! Arghh!!!” Hahahahaha! Clicking the rods is very frustrating especially when you know you’ve clicked it first then you see “ITEM BEING USED” on your chat box >_<

Does your friends or players in-game believe that you are a girl in-real-life? If not, why?
I’m not the typical gamer who brags my gender to other players just to believe them that I’m a real girl. Instead, my friends in-game that I really knew in-real life were the one who tells that –”she’s a real girl”. LOL.

On the otherhand, I don’t mind if they thought that I’m a guy or what. I don’t care.. I just enjoy myself playing the game. There’s no problem about that as long as you know yourself who you are and what you are.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a girl gamer?

Being a girl gamer is different from playing a female character. Gosh! This is a challenging experience. We all know that being a real life female gamer will end of most commonly called “Special Treatment” among all mankind. AW. Hahaha. Why? In reality, sometimes, we, girls are told that we can’t or shouldn’t play MMORPGs and other video games because it’s not our line, and so we are rare if we do.

Again, based on my experience, my internet at home is damn down and I rent a computer outside. While killing mob for my rare drop quest, somebody in-game used to kill steal the monster. Dang! As an excitement to burst my anger, I shouted at the shop saying: “Wag ka sawsaw!! Ampf ka! Ang hirap hirap ng quest ko!!!”. Guys who were in standing ovation waiting for their turn and some are just stand byers glanced at me and said: “Wow! Si ate naglalaro oh!”, “Ang galing.. Ate anong server mo?”, “Ate taas naman ng level mo!” which will set as a compliment being a girl controlling her character in-game and PKing. Sounds cool right?! eL-Ow-eL

Girls are very rare in terms of playing MMORPGs. Top list of advantages being a girl gamer is that:
1. Prone to have a free items offered by a guy.
2. Priority to join a party when doing quests.
3. Tons of greetings when got online (LOL)
4. Most Valuable Player (excused) XD
5. You own the microphone when it comes to guild chats. Ahahahaha!

For the disadvantage, hmmm.. I think:
1. Girls are very nervous and always in a hurry when it comes to PVP/Duel, PK and Clan Wars. (LOL)
2. Sometimes, girls are being discriminated by their capabilities.

What is your motto in life and gaming?
“There is only one success – to be able to spend your life in your own way.” by Christopher Morley

We are in an existentialism manner. Why? You do it in your own way and you do it what’s best for you. Everything is in your hands. We have our own perceptions in life and so it’s for the sake of our fulfillment. It requires us to take responsibility for our own actions and shape our own destinies.
Just like in-game, you create, customize and select what type or job your character is. It’s your identity…your choice… Again, you do it in your own way… You set your own goals like for example, if you want to reach the level cap, you have your own strategy on how are you going to level up fast.

Your message to your fellow girl gamers out there?
For my fellow girl gamers, I expect that you will not use your gender to earn free items offered by a guys. Nyahahahaha! Eeerr.. It’s not a proper way to feed your needs. Don’t be so stubborn and be natural with yourself. Don’t pretend to be someone else and stand up for your own.

I do believe that we can RESIST in every struggle or quests that comes in our journey in life. Again, There is only one success.. to be able to spend your life in your own way!

We all ROCK! Let us all revise the chuvaness sayings that we have less capabilities. Eeer.. Bonggacious tayo up to the highest level! Oha! Oha!

Anyways, Just wanna share during our meeting last friday: March is Women’s Month.. But here in e-Games, We always celebrate the Women’s Month. Aw. XD Where do you belong? GMA! Aw. San ka pa?! eh di sa e-Games na?! XD

Note: churi CM Mei Yan sa mga piangsasasasasagot ko.. Hahaha! Natutuliro ako at the same time naeexcite ako dahil parating na ang Domination III (LOL) ~ parang plurk lang ah naka ( ) pa yung LOL

Enemy at the Gates: Love is a Battlefield

Category: Movies
Genre: Action & Adventure

I watched this video last year ago at my bf’s house.. Hell Yeah! My Bheibee Jerome have a good taste when it comes to Movies.

Oh Vassili Zaitsev (i <3 Jude Law.)… This legendary man rocks… I love his story.. I wish he’s alive until now. lol. He’s a great sniper in the history.. At first, he grew up in the foothills of the Ural Mountains. I remember he was just around age 5 or 8 when his grandfather taught him to hunt in the taiga, the nearby Siberian forest.

Sooner and later, when Vassili became a man, he remembered what his grandfather had taught him:

“The man of the forest is without fear.”

He also joined the Red Army. He’s just an ordinary soldier with no rank… but then, at the dangerous battlefield, his incredible ability has been discovered by Danilov, a ranked man. His assigned Job is perfectly matched to him. They became friends and promote him in rank.

He had a famous saying:

“Await the right moment for one, and only one, well-aimed shot.”

But why does the title had a description saying “Love is a Battlefield”?
Though he is famous because of his talent which the army led to upright success, he is not literate – No Read. No Write. Vasily met a beautiful woman named Tania at Stalingrad.

————————-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enemy_at_the_Gates
Vassili and Danilov’s attraction to Tania, which causes underlying tension between the two men amidst the chaotic atmosphere, especially when Tania finally chooses Vassili as her lover. This personal conflict comes to a head when Tania is presumed to be dead after being struck down by shrapnel.

As Vassili and Danilov hunt for König to avenge Sacha, Danilov laments his jealousy for Vassili and his disenchantment with the communist cause as a result. Danilov then exposes himself in a final act of friendship; allowing König to shoot him, revealing the major’s position. König goes to inspect the body, assuming it is Vassili, but is quickly shot by Vassili.

Two months later, it is revealed that Stalingrad is liberated and Zaitsev finds Tania in a field hospital, safely evacuated and recovering.
————————-

Oh my!! I bet you watch the video….

So here’s another movie review came from the internet:
*forgot the link source*

Enemy at the Gates is a story about the deadliest battle of World War II. For more than 5 months the people of Stalingrad were in desperate trouble. On August 23, 1942 the German Luftwaffe had pulverized the Soviet city with bombs dropped from a thousand planes. Relying on their normal blitzkrieg strategy, Hitler and his generals thought Stalingrad would quickly surrender. It didn’t.

For the people of Stalingrad, it was more than an issue of “Enemy at the Gates.” The enemy had moved in. But out of the Stalingrad rubble, a hero emerged to fight the enemy one at a time. Vasily Zaitsev, a Russian sniper, achieved 40 “kills” within 10 days. Legend has it that Vasily, accompanied by his friend Koulikov, fought a duel with Major Konig, a German sniper. Historians differ on whether the duel was real or a product of Soviet propaganda. What IS indisputable: Vasily Zaitsev was a sniper of legendary proportions.

Boom Shake Move Shake Drop

I was able to take a video of my little cousin dancing Boom Shake Move Shake Drop.

Actually, there was a problem in my a4tech software, coz every time I capture a video and play it, it always stuck in a fast forward motion though I already set the options in normal (recommended).. still… it stuck in fast forward..

So what I did is the screen capturer using SnagIT software… The video is kinda blurry coz I just capture it only on the mirror screen but not the actual video itself.. lol.

Luxury – Money Surplus

Just plurking awhile ago, this one caught my attention. What if you never once run out of spending money? Would you buy a worth $2,000 just for a signature bag? LOL. Ok, just read this article:

Why does this kind of people exist? This one should take a radar poll plunging her lungs. What if she donate the money in a charity? Help people instead of fucking Luxury…

Featured Blog? Ugh. Wow?

I had been in my boyfriend’s house just to spend our Sunday together.. and now that I got home, I sat on my computer desk and checked my mail and messenger: sort of E-GamerGirls Offline message and other crazy GMs from friends… Blahblah.. etc.

Ok. While I was surfing at the internet, I searched E-gamergirls at Yahoo Search Engine when the result doesn’t exactly matched.

So.. Here it is:

I don’t really trust myself because all blog entries have a barbaric English grammar. Hahahaha!!! I just type whatever that comes on my mind without using backspace and just hit enter. lol. This is how I write my entries: When I feel sad, depressed, inspired which is all depends on the situation. I know that I’m not a good writer ‘cos of grammatical errors but I know I have an excellent idea.. Suddenly, I just can’t freely express it. That’s the bad thing.

Once again.. Ciao.

Money… Money…. Money….

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” - 1st Timothy 6:10

When you think about your life, does money related issues count? When you go outside: meet odd people, talk to your friends, relatives or even your loved ones, do their lives were getting troubled by money, or roughly money related? What do you never have at all sufficiently and are always worried about? -It’s the fucking “Money”. In line with this matter, we are allured by the realm of monstrous prosperity.

In fact, many filipino ladies risk their lives just to have money and survive from the hometown where they existed and endured poverty. In what term? “Sluts” – I know it’s an offensive term because they were the one who charges for engaging in sexual activities.

I don’t want to be mean or what, but my boyfriend’s father has lots of woman. Fuck! This is a long story, however, I’m not going to tell it.. Just the main issue.. lol. Ok. Here’s the twist. His father’s woman (Girl A) has a sister (Girl B), then, that girl B became also his father wifey. Now, they are not really sister by blood, they just used to it and act so that they can block my boyfriend’s father since he’s a multimillonaire. @_@ WTF! This fucking story is very confusing… To sum up this issue.. Money.

Bum street addicts ends up behind bars because of errants. Sordid politics that corrupts taxes. Ruined familes because of financial problems. Those rich hatchets pays Justice just to strip peace. Traitors who were tempted by assets. It’s endless.

And so.. Money would always exist as our impish problem — EVER.

Sex is Zero: Movie Review


Category: Movies
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Hmm. This movie is kinda old coz it was released last year 2002. I just watched this crazy, bitchy, funny, seductive and dramatic film way back March 2007..

At the first place, when you heard about the title of the movie with a word “SEX”, you’ll think about x-Rated scenes. Yes, it has an explicit content but then, just a short set. lol.

The video is available at Crunchyroll but then, it was removed by the owner and and he redirected it into a movie pay site coz there are lots of people watching the said video.. (Money) lol.Anyways, I forgot the redirected link.. but don’t worry! You can now watch it at YouTube. However, it was divided into10 parts, 10 minutes each.

So, I got the Link:
Part (1/10): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUKMSwu905A
Part (2/10): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJp01We9DXo
Part (3/10): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Chq7_PN0vC0
Part (4/10): Missing
Part (5/10): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhvHo75Y3Vg
Part (6/10): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dypjWdIr2g
Part (7/10): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2z9VItqhp4
Part (8/10): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk1-aBZBops
Part (9/10): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_gjwI-jSzk
Part (10/10): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scC5Eqm6tzg

The funniest part is that the Racumin and Sperm Cell sandwich was eaten by the jinxy protagonist. Whenever his classmates were stumbling somebody, he is always the victim itself. How was that?

And the saddest part, for the sake of his love.. He is the one who took the responisbility of the lazy guy who made the girl pregnant.

A movie review by Carl Lyon, a Senior Staff Writer

Contrary to what John Hughes or Adam Herz might have you think, love is not easy. You can’t futz around for 75-odd minutes only to redeem yourself in act three with a desperate act of hangdog nobility to win the girl and graduate high school just as the end credits roll. No frigging way. Love is earned in blood, tears, pain, and sacrifice. It can be soft and gentle, but sometimes it truly, deeply sucks.

Which brings me to Je-Gyun Yun’s Sex is Zero, which shows that last sentiment better than anything else. In one truly surreal scene in the film Eun-shik (played by Chang Jung Lim, who sports a droopy eyed mope that would make John Cusack jealous) cares for his beloved Eun-hyo (Ji-Won Ha) who has just had an abortion. He cooks her soup, he washes her face and hands with a hot cloth, and he entertains her with martial arts demonstrations…no, seriously. Proving to her the strength of his resolve and his body by strict martial arts training, Eun-shik splinters planks over his head, smothers himself in plastic wrap, and shatters bottles to the strains of “If” by Bread. You know, “If a picture’s worth a thousand words/Then why can’t I paint you?” That’s right, the song that they probably played at your parents’ wedding (if you’re my age, that is) is essentially the main “love theme” for a Korean teen sex comedy. Weird.

Back on track, though, Eun-shik’s consistent selfless sacrifice for Eun-hyo is often painful to watch, especially during Sex is Zero’s more dramatic bits. During these more serious parts, some traces of slight humor are sprinkled in to soften the blow. In one exceptionally uncomfortable scene, whereas Eun-shik has to pretend to be the father of Eun-hyo’s unwanted child so she can get an abortion, he is grilled by the stone-faced doctor who tells him about the dangers of unprotected sex, while the strawberry jam he put in his hair (don’t ask) attracts a swarm of hungry flies. Trust me, these scenes need some motes of humor, as I can’t remember the time I’ve seen drama this powerful and harrowing. Many of the scenes during the third act had me on the verge of tears (or in a few cases, truly blubbering like an idiot) with just how bleak they were.

However, had this movie kept this tone throughout, I’d probably have hung myself afterwards. Fortunately, and quite oddly, the previous hour of the movie is pure sex-charged silliness. Even as Eun-shik desperately pursues Eun-hyo, only to lose her to campus dreamboat Sang-Ok, his fellow martial artists are trying themselves to get into the Danskins of Eun-hyo’s beautiful aerobics classmates. Their attempts at wooing these girls lead to accidental anal sex, rubber faced pop singer impersonations, vomit soaked make out sessions (in which the actress involved genuinely pukes up water and ramen), and so on. It’s humor of the most American, basest variety, which throws you off when you’re not expecting it, especially when the Koreans do it so much better than all the films America’s churned out in this genre. Jokes are taken to weird extremes, which work well for the movie: it’s not enough that one of Eun-shik’s roommates jerks off into a skillet to prove to a friend that semen is only a few steps removed from egg whites, they have to fry it up and put it on a sandwich with some rat poison in order to kill some vermin in their dorm. Of course, Eun-shik has to ask about the sandwich (to which his roommate hilariously replies, “My child’s in there.”), eat it, and be sent to the hospital for stomach pumping. The cherry on this sundae of gross-out silliness? His beloved Eun-hyo discusses his “suicide attempt” with her friends, who reveal that he had semen pumped out of his belly. The hospital visits become a running joke for poor Eun-shik, usually accompanied by ridiculous x-rays of his genitals and threats of amputation.

But despite this overbearing silliness in the first two thirds, followed by the almost unbearably somber tone of the third act, Sex is Zero is wholly satisfying for the fact that its characters grow throughout the film and we genuinely like them. Even though he is put through an emotional shit-storm, Eun-shik stands by Eun-hyo, who over the course of the film realizes what true love really is. She doesn’t discover it through that aforementioned climactic act of nobility: there are no boomboxes held aloft, or trombone-flute duets here, just the genuine, persistent love of a good man. It’s really quite touching in that it’s completely over-the-top (Eun-shik’s martial arts demo for Eun-hyo had my heart rolling over in my chest) yet strangely believable in how passionate he is.

Speaking of passionate, Panik House has proven themselves to be passionate about the presentation of their films…yeah, it’s a lame segue, but stick with me here! Picture quality for the non-anamorphic print is rock-solid, with deep blacks and bold colors, and no noticeable damage or grain. Audio is in the original Korean, with clear dialogue and crisp music. Now let’s talk extras, because that’s where Panik House is really setting themselves apart from the pack. For one, they offer two commentaries: one in English with Mike McPadden and Mr. Skin of Howard Stern fame, and one en espanol with Jesus “El Pelos” Olvera. Basically, they are one of the first American companies I’ve encountered that offer just as much content for the Spanish-speaking customer as they do for the English speakers. Every trailer, bio, documentary, and featurette feature Spanish subtitles as well as English…very impressive! Even the glossy essay booklet penned by the aforementioned Mike McPadden that’s tucked in the front cover can be flipped for a Spanish version. Hell, they even give us a sticker! Yay!

For those of you with a John Hughes-shaped hole in your heart (that wasn’t filled with hate after steaming piles like Curly Sue), you would do good to pick up Sex is Zero. It manages to out-do even Hughes at his own game by showing us what love is as opposed to telling us. It’s hilarious, powerful, silly, and bittersweet all at the same time. Be prepared for an emotional roller coaster the likes of which you haven’t felt since puberty!
