Conquering Again

-

I don't know but I feel like going back to the old online game I was once hooked up with. When my mom introduced Conquer Online to me, I was not quite ecstatic about it at first. But when I started playing the game and trying to learn the concept, I was addicted to it right then and there. I showed it to my wife and she too got hooked up with it. Now, even my 4 year old son has a character of its own.

It's a role playing game where you get to choose what kind of character you would want to be. For my first character, I chose an archer and named him Carpenter which is the english translation of the Filipino hero Panday. When I changed into a new server (Sunshine), I chose a Taoist. A taoist is like a sorcerer or a magician. The character is adept in the skills of magic. Archers are of course good in bows and arrows. There are two more characters: trojan and warrior. Both are good with the sword and hand to hand combats.

I have met new friends through this game and CO has become an online community. I have also learned that many Pinoys also play this game. In fact I have a friend from Baguio and Iligan and even in Australia who are also pinoys hooked up to this game. Through out the game, you need to level up your character so he can gain new skills and use new and upgraded weapons or armors. The more enemies you kill, the more experience points you gain and therefore the faster you level up. The higher the level you have, the stronger your character becomes.

You can play the game freestyle, or you can follow the missions they usually have for characters. At the end of each mission you earn rewards. What is nice about this game is you can team up with some one with a much higher level then fight monsters together and share the experience points. This way you get to level up faster. And those who help others level up earn virtue points. You can "marry" other characters and fight together and share the exp points. Of course, you can also kill or pk other characters as well. This earns you pk points and the higher pk points you have the more chance you get marked and be killed by other high level characters. For your protection, it is wise to join guilds so that in case somebody pks you, you can ask help from guildmates who are nearby. My homebase is usually at Phoenix Castle at the kylin caves.

I have missed my online friends and the times we spent hunting together and just chatting online while doing some levelling up. In fact, one of my online friends did come to visit me and my wife here in Bacolod. She was from Iligan and now she's in Canada. I haven't played online for almost a year and now I am still a low level ( lvl 86) while some of my old friends are already more than lvl 100. I do hope I can catch up with them.

Now, let's start conquering!

Visita Iglesia: Tracing The Pilgrim's StepsIn Europe Part Two

Town-hopping from one historic place to another in Europe has given me the opportunity to appreciate not only the local colors but at the same time the wonderful architecture of the place, especially its churches and cathedrals. More than just the structural beauty, the story behind every building is equally astounding. 1. Messina, Sicily, Italy - I happened to walk around town all by myself and I found my way to the Doumo of Messina. This historic Cathedral boasts its very tall bell tower which every noon time sounds the alarm with a spectacular show of moving statues adorning the bell tower and the church. Inside the church are huge statues of Christ's apostles. The park right outside the Cathedral is beautiful as well, with locals gathering to talk with friends or find some private moment with a book and a cappuccino in a nearby restaurant. 2. St. Peter's Basilica - I found myself truly blessed when I had the opportunity to visit Rome and stand at St. Peter'...

When Dining Inside A Museum: Romulo Cafe

-

Last night, the Zuellig Family Foundation held its annual Christmas Party at the Romulo Cafe in Makati. It was my first time to step inside Romulo Cafe but it was not as intimidating as some high class restos are. It is definitely a highly recommended place to dine or hang out with family and friends, whether you are talking about the most trivial things in life or closing a business deal. Romulo Cafe is named after the famous Filipino diplomat, Carlos P. Romulo. History class would teach us that Romulo was the first President of the United Nations General Assembly. It is owned by the granddaughter of the diplomat and the idea was not only to share good food but also good lessons in history. Upon entering the restaurant, one would not miss the many framed pictures highlighting the many moments in the life of Carlos Romulo. The second floor appears to be almost like a museum. The maze like pattern of the wall paper creates a contemporary atmosphere but the comfortable sofas and pil...

The Weekend in Tallinn

I have just come back from Helsinki where we spent 2 days for the practical part of our Global health course. I am now blogging from Tampere, tired and with a sore back. During the weekend, we have been carrying our backpacks and running around Tallinn, the beautiful capital of Estonia. It was my second European country to visit and I loved the place. It was beautiful and the old medieval buildings almost brought me to another dimension. For one, the trip going to Tallinn from Helsinki was already exciting. It was my first boat ride across the Baltic Sea, aboard Viking Express. The ship was huge and inside the ship was a grocery, dozens of food shops and bars, a dance floor, even a couple of playrooms for the kids. It was almost surreal. When we docked at Tallinn, it was a long walk to our Hotel where we immediately left our bags and headed outside to the Old Town where a lot of tourists were also finding their way in the labyrinthine cobblestone streets of the historic city. Of course...
