Real life: China's execution takes away 3 Filipino lives

Seroiusly, my mind was blown off when I heard about that news.

Three Filipinos were executed a while ago in China because of committing drug smuggling. The last thing I heard about it, the punishment was supposed to go on on a earlier date but was postponed due to some issues. Appeal letters were given by the Philippine government, but the Chinese still decided that the execution must go on as planned, because drug trafficking is a serious offense and the punishment must be given, whether one likes it or not.

During that time, families of the punished ones were in great turmoil, having to deal with the pain of losing a love one.  Seriously, I even saw a grandmother crying for hours, feeling so emotionally worn out. But still, I believe they had no choice but to accept the truth.


But while lethal injections were used for punishing criminals in China, here in the Philippines, punished crooks were instead given life sentence if found guilty, because we're in a Christian country and taking lives is really a no-no.


Truly, the issue of drugs just keeps on getting worse, with new products found to contain forbidden ingredients, illegal transporting, etc. Let the punishment serve you as a reminder to those who dare to try using illegal drugs, especially those with risk of endangering a person's life.


As for the souls taken away, may they rest in peace.

Depression mode... again

Something really bad happened to me, and I really don't want to talk about it right now...

Because of that, I don't feel like I'll draw or write stories anymore, for that bad experience really destroyed the imaginative part of me. So there, I'll be back to my normal, uninspired self, and I don't care if I'll suffer from both artist's and writer's block, just to make my mom happy... T_T

I'll be in indefinite hiatus and leave behind the artistic side of me, and I'm sorry if anyone would not be happy about my decision. I hope there will be solace, so that I might be back to being imaginative and artistic...


Sorry about my ranting. Thank you and good night...

RMT retailers, now L2 load sellers?? + finding solace

A while ago, I read the topic in the L2 forums that OffGamers will be included in the list of load sellers for both Malaysian & Singaporean players. At first, I thought it would be a relief for them, since there was an announcement that the old load cards can still be used until Sept. 30. It was because the AMDG-Cubetech partnership is about to be expired. But then, I was shocked because during my chat with Alcarcalimo, he said that OffGamers was considered to be one of the Real-Money Traders (RMTs) ever existed. He even stated that they would sell adena just for a small fee (in dollars, that is). Due to these reasons, he was now pissed, and I was even vexed by these same reasons. Believe me, we're both proud because of the clarification that AMDG will not support RMT sellers, but now, we're crestfallen because the opposite has finally happened.

Aside from that issue plaguing the community right now, we both conversed about almost everything. I stated about the last post here (Look at the last post below.) and the reason behind it, that I had mood swings. He told me that he also had it once before when he was my age, and he was even attuned to atheism. My reason for mood swings was due to despondency of salvation, that I feared that I would not receive atonement due to my transgressions. Good thing he was helpful enough to guide me to cope up with it. It's really a long story, though.

I was even touched by one of the quotes that he stated to lift my spirit towards not losing hope. Here's the quote:

"You can be surrounded by darkness yet you see the light. Go towards it and don't let darkness swallow you whole."

It means that instead of being disconsolate towards problems, seize to moment to correct it. Never miss the chance, and look at the clouds & see the stars, for it would never come back to you.

Overall, I can bravely say that solace will be with me in every pain & bliss, and he, as a good comrade, is one of the reasons why I found it.

That's all for now... ^^
