"I promise her that I'd be with her...
and help her take the consequences of making her own choices.
Now more than ever, I have to be with her.
I can't break that promise now. I won't.
Promises should be kept no matter what the cost."

Yahoo! Headline: Video game causes DIVORCE
See how World of Warcraft, the most popular video game in the world, led to divorce.

Note:Original Article



Wedding Woes:


The Dark Side of Warcraft Popular online PC game is causing marital discord.

Although best-selling online role-playing game World of Warcraft boasts over ten million subscribers, it's also leaving in its wake an increasing list of casualties.

Even though she's never played the game, 28 year-old Jocelyn is one of the fallen. A well-spoken California resident, she divorced her husband of six years after he developed a crippling addiction to the smash online RPG.

"He would get home from work at 6:00, start playing at 6:30, and he'd play until three a.m. Weekends were worse -- it was from morning straight through until the middle of the night," she told Yahoo! Games in an interview. "It took away all of our time that we spent together. I ceased to exist in his life."

Jocelyn had been friends with her ex-husband Peter since the age of 13, but it took only nine months for her marriage to collapse.

"I bought the game for him for Christmas 2004, when it first came out. By May we had our first serious discussion about where our marriage was going, and by September I had moved out," she said.

Jocelyn recalled one particular incident that was typical of Peter's habits. "I had set aside 30 minutes for us to watch a television show together, and he couldn't. He was stuck on a raid, and completely failed to understand why I was upset," she said.

Peter's domestic duties also suffered. He stopped paying bills, she says, and refused to do his share of the housework.

Jocelyn doesn't hesitate to cite Warcraft as the main reason for her divorce and remains emotional about its impact on her marriage. "I'm real, and you're giving me up for a fantasy land. You're destroying your life, your six-year marriage, and you're giving it up for something that isn't even real."

Despite their differences, the couple remains friends, and although Peter still plays World of Warcraft, Jocelyn says he made an effort to cut down after their split.

A gamer herself, Jocelyn briefly worked for World of Warcraft developer Blizzard Entertainment, although not on the title that proved so damaging to her relationship. "I recognized that this was a game that would never end, and that's why I chose not to play it," she said.

"They build it in such a way that you have to keep putting more and more time into it to maintain your status. I remember thinking when I was married that it was downright exploitative to people who couldn't control themselves in that way. It's set up like a drug."

Asked if she would consider marrying another Warcraft player, Jocelyn laughed. "That's actually one of my primary criteria now -- I don't want to marry someone who is a gamer."

Chinese New Hair
Bakit ka nagpagupit?

Chinese New Year.

May lahi kang Chinese?

Wala.

Mahilig lang ako sa Tikoy. =)




Ilang tao na nga ba nagtanong sa akin niyan? Halos lahat ata plus side questions. Karamihan pa guys. Sa ngayon ika- 4 na araw na ng tikoy days,. as in araw araw may nakahain na tikoy sa lamesa namin. Nakakatuwa dahil paborito ko nga ang tikoy. Wala sigurong tatalo sa akin sa paramihan ng makakaing tikoy sa bahay. HAHA. Ang nakakatuwa, wala man lang ni isa sa mga boxes ng tikoy na yun ang binili. Lahat bigay at regalo kay mami. Sarap ng buhay. Sarap talaga ng tikoy! Lalo na yung green, pero ayos din yun white! mas matamis yung brown!hehe Bakit kaya walang purple na tikoy ngayon?!?!

Gusto ko lang sabihin na da BEST pa rin yung tikoy ng mga PINOY~ yung kulay brown na di na niluluto,. awch Gusto ko talaga nun TT__TT

OKAAAAAY

Ang totoong topic ay ang bagong gupit nga.


BAkit ako nagpagupit? Kasi nga Chinese New Year, ang kulit. Di ako Chinese ha? =) Matagal ko na plano yun kaya di totoo na nag-away kami ng bf ko o kung sino man.


Nakakatuwang isipin at alam kong totoo naman na, isa sa mga pamantayan ng mga kalalakihan para sa isang babae ay dapat o sana'y mahaba ang kanilang buhok.

Sino nga ba ang hindi mabibighani sa isang babae na maayos at may malambot na buhok diba? Hindi na nakapagtataka kung bakit kabi-kabila na lamang ang commercial at bagong produktong lumalabas para lamang sa magandang buhok.

Nandiyan ang sangkaterbang Conditioner, Shampoo with Conditioner, Leave on, Hair Treatments, Rebond, Relax, Hair Straightening, Hair Spa, Hot Oil, VCO (Virgin Coconut Oil?!).

(Hindi ko alam kung bakit naimbento pa yang VCO na yan. Grabe pag nakakaamoy ako niyan sumasama ang pakiramdam ko. Translation: Deretso sa banyo)


AT,.. wag din natin kalimutan ang mga magagandang modelo na kung hindi nagpipinta, isang modelong artista, action star, agent, o ang pinaka epektibo sa lahat,... Ang mga dilag na kumakanta na sumasayaw pa! (Alalahanin ang Ja-Boom Twins, Sandara Park?, at mga babaeng nakalimutan ko na ang pangalan) ay wag kalimutan si Kris Aquino = idol yan,. hehehehe

Kitams~ sino nga ba ang di mabibighani diba? Hindi na nakakapagtaka na ang daming mga kababaihan ngayon ang dumederetso sa salon at gumagastos ng malaki para lamang sa shining shimmering splendid hair. Yiheee!

Inaamin ko din naman na nabighani din ako sa ganun. (Aha) SA katunayan ay, simula ng malapit na akong magtapos sa high school ay, nagpahaba na ako ng buhok. Isipin niyo na lang na, buong buhay ko, simula elementary at halos buong highschool ay maiksi ang buhok ko, pinakamahaba na ang shoulder length. Hindi rin naman nagtatagal ang ganun dahil iba talaga ang image ko eh. (HAHAHA) Di bagay ang mahaba~ ehem.

Tatlong taon ang nakalipas...


Oo, tatlong taon na din nga pala ang nakalipas, at sa di malamang dahilan ay, humba ang buhok ko, umabot pa ata yun lampas ng rib cage?! hahaha (baka OA lang ako) Di ko lang napansin dahil, wala talaga akong panahon mag-ayos. Ni hindi nga yata ako natuto magpuyod man lamang ng maayos eh? Dahil sa lagi akong late pumasok sa school, wala na kong panahon para magsuklay at patuyuin ang buhok ko pagpasok. Napakanormal na ng linyang,..

"Mahangin ba sa loob (pede rin sa labas)"


Katulad na rin ng sinabi ko kanina, matagal ko na ngang balak magpagupit. Yung maayos na gupit ah? Yung maayos para sakin? Kasi naman, Sa di malamang dahilan ay ayaw akong pagupitan ng nanay ko ng maiksi. Puro trim. Samantalang dati, gustong gusto niya ang panlalaki kong gupit. Siguro nakita niya dalaga na ako? kahit di pa?! lolz

Balik tayo sa main issue


Nagpagupit ako. (oo na nga eh?) At ako lang mag-isa pumunta sa salon. Gusto ko kasing subukan sa Bench Fix. Kahit pa sinabihan na ako na panget daw doon (HOY KYLE) kasi isa lang ang style nila. EMO!

"Trim ba? Layer ulit natin?"

"Ahh eh gusto ko sana maiksi."

"Oh?"

HAyun,. parang nagdalawang isip pa siya eh.

Ok naman yata kinalabasan? hehehe Totoo din yung sinabi niya na madami daw magugulat.

MAs maganda na pakiramdam ko. Mas magaan sa pakiramdam pag maiksi hair,. heheheh


Kinabukasan~ ay ang araw na nakakagulat.

Na-realize ko na ang dami ko pa lang naging kaklase? AS in sobra~ Yun gtipong hihiyaw pa yung iba at isisigaw ang pangalan ko. awch

2 ang klase ng reaksyon nila:

1. Bumata ka. Ang cute mo. Ang ganda mo. Bagay sayo. Kamukha mo si Andy Go. "You look 3 years younger, not 5, 3 only,.hehe " -Ms. Lantin =

Mga reaksyon ng mga babae.

2. Titingin, Biglang lalayo ng tingin, tapos ibabalik ang tingin, tititigan ka, 10 seconds na ang nakalipas, magbabago ang mukha, after 15 seconds, ngingiti, 20 seconds, tatawa.

Mga reaksyon ng mga lalaki.

Pare-pareho sila.

ito ang ilan sa mga linya nila,..


"Nagmukha kang mature" - kuya David

"Nagmukha ka nang tao." -

"Yuck, emo ka na,.hahaha." - Kyle

"Di bagay sayo." - Jared

"Lyra, ikaw ba yan?" - Yves

"Bagong klasmeyt!" - AC62 na guys


at kahit papano may nagustuhan naman yata?

sa corridor papadaan,...

"You look good!" - kuya Christian


ehem... yan ang evidence na mas prefer talaga nila ang long hair na babae,.hahahahaha

Pero sa lahat, ang pinakagusto kong reaksyon ay,..



Kinalabit ko sa likod,.. tapos

Napatingin, tumungo, parang nag-isip pa. Tapos tumalikod ulit sa akin. TApos ayaw tumingin. Tapos pinigilan ang tawa. Tapos natatawa na mahina lang. Pinipigilan talaga.


Nasa simbahan kasi kami eh?


Ahahahah~ yan ang gusto kong reaksyon,. totoo lang~ ^___^

Tinawanan ako amp?! hahaha


"Bagay naman sayo eh, pero mas bagay yung mahaba."


~ ayos na ko sa sagot na yun ^__^


Nga pala,. sabi nila,...kamukha ko na daw si Andy ( Sa Coffee Prince) pero siguro nga? kung pumayat lang ako? hahaha

Pero mas kamukha ko daw si 'L' ng Death Note? awooo di sadya yan ah? lol

ito ang picture ko~ my lovable hair















May similarity ba?


WALA NAMAN EH~~


BAsta ang alam ko,..


Gwapo na ko....
