Get Together After Christmas Party

Monday, December 28th, 2009

Last night, Mayumi hosted and deejayed a simple Get Together After Christmas Party at my place in Second Life, 3 Stars and a Sun. Mayumi and kula told me about the party and asked if they can hold it at 3 Stars and Sun. I said yes, of course. ^_^ The party was for everyone to get together once again and also to meet new and old friends in Second Life.

The party started without me because I was building a bigger version of my shop and it also ended without me because I fell asleep after eating dinner. Ha ha ha! (more…)

Not My Lucky Day :(

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Wow! After this blog was defaced by some people you’d think everything will be fine afterwards, right? NOOOOO!!! Today, I received an e-mail from Linden Labs informing me that my Rom Ireton account was suspended for disturbing the peace at LiaisonLand.

“The violation in question occurred on January 30, 2008 in the region of LiaisonLand.”

Second Life and Game! Magazine

Monday, January 14th, 2008

Last month I was contacted by Ms. Diane Reyes of Game! Magazine but prior to that I was asked by Ms. Eva Gubat, Editorial Manager of Game! Magazine, by e-mail if I would like to be a member of their writing pool. I said to myself, if they think my writing is good enough for their magazine then why not so I told her yes.

As I’ve said, Ms. Diane, who is an Editorial Assistant, contacted me and asked if I’m willing to take on a writing assignment and guess what, the topic was Second Life. I accepted the assignment and she gave me a week to write the story. It was my first time writing for a nationally syndicated magazine and it’s scaring the crap out of me. (more…)

Update To My Little Philippines

Monday, December 10th, 2007

Last week, my very helpful landlord sent all my objects back to me. No, he was not evicting me but instead he was helping me with some problems on the land where my place is located. The problem was, while working on My Little Philippines, I tried to rez some grass by dragging it on the ground. The grass didn’t rez so I tried again and every time it didn’t rez I will try again and again. What I didn’t notice was that even though the grass didn’t rez it still used a prim bringing my prim number closer to the limit. This was clearly a bug and after trying everything we can my landlord suggested to clear the parcel of all my objects by returning them to me and then just rebuild or put everything back. At first I didn’t want to do it but because there was no other way I agreed to it.

All my objects were returned to me which cleared the land of all the objects including the bugged grass objects. I then started to put everything back. Putting the objects back wasn’t that difficult because when I got them they were already grouped so I just drag it back out of my inventory and, while everything was still selected, positioned it to its original place.

I also took the opportunity to update My Little Philippines by placing it inside my building and transforming it as the third level of the place.

I also moved some of the objects around and changed the Bahay Kubo. I’m almost out of prim but I still want to put some more objects in. I’ve also added a very simple Mini Monument of Rizal and on it is a “Proud To Be A Pinoy” Badge giver. If you touch it, you will be given a badge with the Philippine flag and the words “Proud To Be A Pinoy” on it.

I wanted to add some more objects like rocks, small plants and even animals to add more texture to the place but because of my prim limit I can’t. Anyway, I’m happy with the place and have set the landing point there.

It may not be the most amazing place or location in Second Life but it is my home and I love it!

My Little Philippines

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

If you have been to my place in-world, 3 Stars and a Sun, at Scaramanga then I’m sure you have seen my little garden inspired by my country’s culture, the Philippines. I’m proud to be a Filipino, I’m proud of my culture, heritage and history. Not even poverty nor death will make me leave my country. My allegiance is only to one flag and my loyalty is only to one country, my home, the Philippines.

Anyway, my place, 3 Stars and a Sun, used to have 3 levels or floors and the third floor was a mini-garden inspired and dedicated to my country. That was before, now you won’t see it but it’s not gone. I just moved it. Moved it way, way up and since not too many people goes there anyway, I turned it into a personal space.

But today, I set my landing spot there. Anyone who teleports to 3 Stars and a Sun will land there. The place is not really big because I have a very little space to build in. It’s 2o meters wide and it’s 500 meters above ground.

And just like before, I went for a countryside look with bahay kubos ((nipa huts)), folk dancers and palm trees. There is also a big picture viewer that shows some beautiful places in my country.

I even have a superhero patrolling the sky (not always though) and you’ll be greeted by one of the Philippines’ greatest comic book superheroine, Darna! LOL!

With limited space and prims, my ability to put more objects in is very limited but I’ll try to squeeze in some more prims and we’ll see.
