The latest issue of HodgePodge Magazine is out and in this issue there is a section titled “Avatars Who Care”. I blogged about it last November, 2007 and I kinda read it the wrong way too. LOL!

A brief info of what “Avatars Who Care” is, it’s about recognizing those avatars who had contributed to some extent in various fields like business, fashion, arts, etc. It’s supposed to be published in the December issue of HodgePodge but it was moved to January. Anyway, I was at my place when I noticed that the vendor Isadora sent through the Filipino group wasn’t working. Checking past group notices, I found out that she sent a working replacement so, I took that and replaced the non-working vendor. Of course, I took a copy and besides it’s FREE! By the way, you read a Second Life magazine by wearing it. It will attach as a HUD and you browse the pages by clicking on it. [...continue reading HodgePodge Mag’s Avatars Who Care]

Just a few hours ago, I was shocked to find this blog defaced by some people. I immediately informed BlueHost about it and they immediately restored my entire account to a previous backup. Yes, the restoration process made me lose a few post in some of my blogs but I guess that was the best way to correct what has been done to the blog.

BlueHost advised me to update my scripts and change my passwords which I did after the restoration. The restoration took only a few minutes. [...continue reading Ouch! Kabalyero.com Defaced!]

A new group notice regarding the event was sent today by Fooballer Balut. I was a little bit surprised about the announcement because it used the term Filipino Christmas Sim. Surprised and amazed. Wow! An entire sim?! Well, it’s not really an entire sim. My bad! LOL!

So, I dropped by to take a look at the place and there were two avatars there, Fooballer Balut and Maxene Lane. They were busy decorating the place. A lot of things were added since the last time I was there like there are now tables, chairs, food decorations (I call them decorations because you can’t actually eat them, LOL), benches and some other decorative stuff. Oh, there is also a Christmas Tree and I think that they’re also waiting for a lechon from someone which will be placed on the center portion of the buffet table.

I was asked if I want to contribute anything but unfortunately I don’t have anything to contribute that would fit the theme of the event. Oh yeah, I forgot. I did contribute something, the Philippine Flag. I just hope they use it. LOL!

I wasn’t very chatty when I was there because I was to busy tweaking my Windlight settings for my snapshots. LOL!

The event will be on December 18, 2007 at around 8:00pm SLT (Second Life Time). Hopefully, you might even meet some members of the Filipino Second Life Elite like Chino Yalin, Shai Delacroix, Cynara Cortes, Steve Hansen, mikaela Yifu and others (Honestly, I don’t know many of them. I just read some of their names from group chat and other places. LOL).

I will drop by to take paparazzi snaphots of these Filipino Second Life Celebrities and sell them to Second Life magazines like HodgePodge. LOL! *joke*

The Filipino Second Life Community will have a Christmas Celebration in-world, Pinoy style! The preparation is being spearheaded by Isadora Fiddlesticks, publisher of HodgePodge Magazine.

A huge kubo (hut) lined with parols (lanterns) was already setup at Momill. A dance floor, dance ball, DJ station and some lighting and particle effects were also placed.

The event will be on December 18, 2007 at 8:00 pm SLT (Second Life Time). Preparation and decoration of the place is still ongoing. If you would like to participate or contribute or be involved with the preparation and decoration then please send an instant message to Isadora Fiddlesticks.

Before, I thought that I would never buy a new skin but I was wrong. Today, I found myself shopping for a new skin and using Second Life’s new search tool I went from one store to another. My budget for a new skin was only 2,000L$ and I told myself that I would not spend anything more than that. I found some shops that sell skins for only 500L$ and another for 700L$. I even saw some that were selling at 250L$ to 350L$ but I didn’t buy from them because many of them looked copied.

While I was searching for more skin shops, Isadora Fiddlesticks of HodgePodge Magazine ecstatically blurted out in the Filipino group chat how beautiful the skins in Minnu were. I immediately searched for Minnu, found it and teleported there. I found her looking at some female skins and she even tried one. I then left her and went to the Male section of the shop. There weren’t too many selections but at first glance I know that these were the skins I was looking for.

I selected the shaved tan skin style, paid the vendor, got the skin and wore it afterwards.

The skin cost 1,500L$ and I think it’s worth every linden dollars because the skin looked really good on my avatar.

Now my avatar has some material value. The elites of Second Life will now stop treating my avatar like a newbie and treat it more seriously. Who knows they might even accept me into their social circles! LOL!

If you remember, I made a post about my quick visit to HodgePodge’s new business office and that I used photos instead of a video. Today, I finally had the time to process the video I took of my quick visit of HodgePodge’s new business office at Neptune.
