Moving to Wordpress

As you can see, this blog kinda looks sabotaged now. That was due to the following reasons:
1.) Tried looking for new blogger template and stumbled upon the idea of moving to WordPress. I've read posts regarding wordpress and I'm going to try it.
2.)When I tried the template for blogger, It was difficult to get going as I had to check the css and all. That's not really the big deal.
3.)Wordpress have a lot more professional blog themes. Got tired of blogger.
4.)Wordpress have pages unlike blogger that I had to rely on categories. I've already imported my posts from here.
5.)I wanted to leave this blog nice before I move. But replacing back the widgets that were removed got me errors.

So please redirect here
I have yet to update all my other sites such as friendster, multiply, etc. My WordPress blog is currently under construction. Thank you.

Photoshop Avatars and My New Banner!!!

Just learned photoshop yesterday and made a few pictures I wanted to share. These avatars were requested by IJ Players that paid me IJ money and donation money. Note: IJ is a web browsed mafia game. Click here for more info about Injustice


My first photoshop artwork, I know it's crappy.


This was my second request and I got paid 350k IJ money for it. Adrammelech loved it.


Also got paid 350k for this.


Got paid $1.50 donation money


It was requested to be extra sexy @_@


And finally, my own profile picture I was able to upload when I used my donation money to buy my profile picture.

And lastly my new banner for my blog I just created and finished. It's a Tales of the Abyss themed banner. They're so cute /heart
It will be my banner for the mean time whil I try making a more self-expressing one.
Click here to view or simply look above this page.

To IJ players who wants profile pictures, you may message me in game: Haier
and send your requests over there. Please include specific or general ideas of how you want your avatar to be. Also, having me do your profile picture gives you the privilege to bother me always for adjustments or changes you may want to have with your avatar.

The official IJ Gallery can be found here.

Other Blog Updates:
Added Salleh to BlogRoll as I find his post very humorous and interesting.
This blog is now known as EonGeo Online
Also, I will be attempting on getting myself my own domain once I have promoted and gained more readers. As of now, It has increased tremendously since I first opened my blog to the public.

Thanks :p

Photoshop Newbie

After viewing some photoshop tutorials, I managed to come up with this. It's an avatar for a friend in IJ. It's my first and I guess it's not that bad. Now I've learned some photoshop I'll be doing avatars for fellow IJ at a price of 150k (negotiable) or donation money. The banner you might be still seeing now is a work I've done using Paint (windows 98) and have to admit that it's damn crappy not only because I used Windows98 but also that it was just some crops, copy and pasting no nothing. I will now be working on more pictures using photoshop to improve my skills and also to get the damn crappy banner to trash and get it replaced with something better.

I Was Right - New Year's Day

Before anything else...

I beg to differ, what a noob comment! Are you sure that they're the only band with a female singer and 2 guitarist kind of arrangement? And don't you think you're so immature to not see the difference between Paramore and New Year's Day? I am not being biased at all as I enjoy both their music. Just because you're such a big Paramore fan doesn't give you the right to say things like New Year's Day is crappy and trash. I don't think they're making themselves look like Paramore at all. They're making a name for themselves, they got their own style different from Paramore. And do you think Paramore will like how you think of other bands specially comparing it with them. I so pity you for being dim-witted and unobservant enough that you start talking shit when you know nothing at all.

Whew, finally got that out.

Anyway, enough of that. So it really took a while before I was able to find their official site as there were lots of other similar search like U2's New Year's Day, Rolling Stone and of course the holiday :p

I found their myspace page where I learned their official site.

I've known New Year's day for awhile now (around a month from my cousin Carol) but only had the time to actually feature them today. They're just new in the music world and had their first release last year November 28 and just had their second one last May 8.

I can't find their lyrics anywhere @_@

Anyway, you can visit their official myspace for more about them. Their myspace also have some cool behind-the-scenes videos!

Additional Comment:

Ash (New Year's Day vocalist) looks so much better without make-up. And she talks cute too.

PowerBooks, The Jesus Papers

Ok, so I guess Fully Booked wasn't the only one who had bargains. PowerBooks Robinsons had some up as well. Though not as much selection compared to FullyBooked Rockwell as the PowerBooks at Robinson's wasn't that big anyway.

Well anyway, I only got one book from the sale as I've been running around looking for something to give a particular someone who will be celebrating her 17th birthday tomorrow! Woot!

The Jesus Papers by Michael Baigent is something about his finds and research with regards to Jesus' death and resurrection.

• What if everything we have been told about the origins of Christianity a lie?
• What if a small group had always known the truth and had kept it hidden until now?
• What if there is incontrovertible proof the Jesus Christ survived the crucifixion?

Very catchy don't you think? I'm no religious person, and honestly I do have doubts regarding God. What I'm really sure about though is that Religions are always complicated. There are people who use religion for their own sake and to satisfy their insatiable desire for money and power.

I don't have enough knowledge to be asserting more. Everyone has different beliefs and religions they follow. Which one of those Gods are truly real? I don't have a clue.

For me, I'll just do what I think is right. That's the best option I have.

Organizing Categories and Tags

I have organized the categories to lessen confusion for the readers and for me as well as it always takes time to reorganize the tags.

We now have the following categories organized in a more general manner.

• blog-updates - everything that concerns blog changes
• books
  
• food
• gaming - all game features go here
• general - generally where posts concerning more about the world, people etc.
• music - all music related post shall go here, I will have a new category called EonGeo Music once I have my very own music uploaded.
• must-read-before-anything-else - new to eon-geo.blogspot.com? visit this before anything else.
• my old band - posts and updates regarding my old band
• occasions-and-events - such as Christmas, birthdays etc.
• personal - everything that's about me will go here, it was very difficult back when it was branched out to different categories.
• random - random stuff for fun.
• wishlist - what stuff do i want? it's here.
• ymca youth club - everything ymca related and youth club stuff shall go here.

What to expect next:

• movies
• featured blogs
• myblog reviews
• happenings (for big time events like concerts such as RO fest etc.)
• tech and gadgets

Also, I placed a big mozilla firefox button at the bottom of the page to express my gratitude for firefox's excellent performance.

Misery Business - Paramore New Video!

The new video just came out recently and was launched by FueledByRamen.

Pretty mean video if I do say so myself. Watch it and you'll know what I mean.

Anyway, Hayley's hair have turned orange and her blonde hair's back. Cool style - but I really liked how it was all red before.

I'm in the business of misery,
Let's take it from the top.
She's got a body like an hourglass that's ticking like a clock.
It's a matter of time before we all run out,
When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth.

I waited eight long months,
She finally set him free.
I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me.
Two weeks and we had caught on fire,
She's got it out for me,
But I wear the biggest smile.

[Chorus:]
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But, I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now.
But god does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him right now.
And if you could then you know you would.
Cause god it just feels so,
It just feels so good.

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change.
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change.
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged.
I'm sorry honey, but I'm passing up, now look this way.
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you.
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who,
They want and what they want it's easy if you do it right.
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

[Chorus]

It just feels so.
It just feels so good.

I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving.

Whoa, I never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now.

[Chorus]

The song's a revenge! The video says it all actually. It's about a flirt who's so much of a loser now when she's lost her grip over the boy she's playing with and and the other girl wins over. The part I loved best in the video was when Hayley and gang came out and revealed how much of a fake the flirt really was.

Paramore's new album is coming out on June 12th, It's so sad that their 1st was not made available here. I really hope that paramore will come out on sale in the Philippines by then. Their popularity here is really leaking out.

Fully Booked Super Cheap Books

I don't know how long Fully Booked is having this but they're really getting rid of old stocks and they got lots of good books over. Of course I couldn't miss the chance.

Maybe I'll write a book review sometime soon :p

Anyway, I had like 15+ books at first then my brother showed up and was asked by mom to sort the books out (so she can be sure that I am going to read the books I'm buying).
There were other interesting books like some Money Book that my brother told me that I was too young to read. Then there was the Language of God that was about a scientist proving God's existence which I'm really curious about. Then other more interesting books I thought of leaving behind because I was already buying 6.

March 19 Home Coming

I apologize for the late updates, I've been quite busy couple of days ago in preparation for my homecoming. And yes, I've arrived back in Manila just this morning. But had the whole day on schedule. 9 A.M right after arrival I had to go straight to YMCA for the youth club meeting and attended RO Fest in the afternoon. I'm really kind of tired now writing this late. Now that I'm back and have more time now, expect more stuffs to come. Thanks :p

Injustice - Choose Your Destiny Part 1

Tired of the usual mmorpgs you play? Looking for something new and exciting and absolutely free?! I was and was so desperate to find something that I got on google and yahoo typing in the keywords: free mmorpgs. Then I stumbled upon a game directory of which i turned every page clicking on interesting game names. All of them were either too dull or were just free trials then they ask you to pay. Then I came across Injustice - basically a mafia game ..with a twist.

Injustice have been running for already 4 years now. I've had a little chit-chat with the creator of the game, Mr. Morbid and he was kind enough to answer my questions regarding IJ's history and foundation before he went off.

Mafia.Org - the original mafia game was what got Mr. Morbid into making his own. The game was fun and all but lacked the depth and intensity that IJ has to offer. It took a lot of time before IJ was finally established (take note that Morbid never had any experience with programming before and he had to learn it) and opened to the public. Though the real headache Mr. Morbid had were the hackers that were giving everyone $5 and ruining the game. But he managed to drive them away with the help of friends.

What's so special about this game anyway? Heck there lots of other mafia games out there! Tell me why IJ is the best!

The big difference is that IJ let's you choose between going legit or gangster. Unlike other mafia games where everyone only has one way to go - gangster. In the world of IJ, interdependence between gangsters and legits is is a must - which I will discuss later on.

Game Basics

The first time you logged in and played maybe sort of boring. As you don't really know anything about the game yet. Honestly, that was how it was for me.. At first, you don't know where you should go or what you should be doing. But I tell you that it's really more on exploration and having someone show you around. IJ players are really friendly, so if you're new go check the bar first and have a look for a while. If you're really kind of lost or something go on IRC and talk to someone. Having someone show you around is really helpful as they already have quite an experience to tell you more.

Careers

The 2 major categories among which players are sorted into are legit and gangster. Remember that interdependence between these two immensely affects gaming. For example: a gangster who does an aggravated crime say Armed Robbery successfully gets dirty cash and will need a banker to launder the money for them. Another example would be a gangster with illegal drugs on him traveling to another city to sell them off will need an army official to turn blind eyes for them to travel without getting jailed or bribing a mortician to deliver them via dead bodies. In short, gangster can not exist without legit people.

Getting into any legit career requires studying and training while getting into the gangster world only require you to do bad earns and aggravated crimes. You can also transfer from one career to another. Ex: from a bank official you can quit your career and do assistant mortician earns that will turn you into an Asst. Mort which you will be notified of via promotion page which appears when you've done enough earns and you refresh the page.

Legit Careers
-every career in the IJ World has different ranks you can get promoted to. Ex: From being a volunteer fire fighter -> Fire Fighter -> to the top rank Fire Chief.
There are a total of 8 legit careers:

• Fire Fighter - fight fires and save local building & apartments
  
• Army - get bribed to turn blind eye, defuse bombs, see what weapons a player is holding
  
• Banking - launder money, be in charge of loans
  
• Funeral Service - smuggle drugs, perform autopsies
  
• Health Service - perform operations of battered or gbh'd players
  
• Law Service - defend
  
• Police - branched out to different divisions and considered to be the most exciting legit career, you solve cases and lock up criminals
  
• Mayor - run for mayor! legalize gambling and set taxes
  

Gangster World
-Being a gangster let's you make the most money, be boss or don of your own crew or even become godfather the supreme over crews all over the IJ World.

Ranks (arranged from lowest to most powerful)

• Dealer
  
• Piciotto
• Sgarrista
• Earner
• Enforcer
• Boss
  
• Don
• Godfather
  

Earns
-first things first. When you're a noob, the only thing you can do for now is earn every 3 minutes (which you will still do so even after getting in a career as it gets you the money + the experience that toughens up your character. Your character experience is not visible though but really adds up to the excitement of the game) while you train every 20 minutes for a career as well.



Just remember that as you play the game more options pop out and opens doors to more of the gaming features.

Cool Features of IJ:

What's really cool in IJ is that not only you can choose between going legit or gangster but each career has it's very own features. Everyone in IJ is different which really is more realistic. Plus how realistic politics can be and how role playing is taken to the next level.

Boneless Daing na Bangus

For those who are unfamiliar with what Bangus is, it's a local name for the milk fish in the Philippines. For today, I've decided to feature what I've been eating lately and to share how much it boosts up my appetite. Lately, I haven't been eating at home due to I'm a picky eater and the usual food they (notice that it's they because I'm just staying at my grandmother's (dad side) place for summer break) prepare just isn't for me - which usually is bony fish , vegetable and occasional meat every weekend. So I end up eating at food stalls near my music school for lunch (or should I say brunch?)

As I've said, I'm really picky. I don't eat vegetables (but I'm trying ok?? just hate how crunch and yucky it tastes), and I still remember how I don't eat anything at all when I was around very young. I even remembered how I tried chicken first and thought that maybe it's not good then came to like it.

And so, ages ago I don't eat fish as well. I remembered how my mom persuaded me to. It was good, but became a trauma for me when fish bone got to my throat.

Enough of the history for now... It will sure take up everything if I go on telling you the rest of my fish-eating life.

Ok, going back, I never realized that what I was eating was called daing (which I'm not sure of what it means as well). It is boneless so I never have to worry about getting choked again.

Here is a recipe I got from the net.

Ingredients
1	kg	Bangus (Milkfish) cleaned
1/4	cup	Coconut vinegar
2		Serrano peppers
1/2	tsps	Salt
1/2	tsps	Ground pepper
2	cloves	Crushed garlic
1/3	cup	Peanut oil

Preparation
Cut your fish lengthwise along the back, taking great care in not breaking the skin. The place the fish skin side down in a a wide and shallow container. Add vinegar, peppers, garlic, salt and ground pepper, and let marinate in your refrigerator for 24 hours, turning the fish over after the initial 12. To prepare, drain, and fry with oil in a large skillet for 5 or 6 minutes, or until the fish reaches a golden brown color. Serve over steamed rice.
Servings:	4

Daing Na Bangus had been a Filipino favorite ever since. I'm not sure how other people have this fish, but there are dozens of other recipes for Philippines' national fish.

What I really like about it (with the exception of it being boneless) is the tasty flavor from the marinate and how the belly fat melts in your mouth. It also has the appealing golden brown color that really makes me drool over it.

Swans - Unkle Bob

Swans -Unkle Bob
requested by: Reginne
By my side,
You'll never be.
By my side,
You'll never be.
Cos I'm fake at the seams,
I'm lost in my dreams.
I want you to know,
That I can't let you go.
And you're never coming home again,
And you're never coming home again.
By my side,
You'll never be.
By my side,
You'll never be.
I wanted to tell you I'd changed.
I wanted to tell you that things would be different this time.
But I see you, you see me,
Differently.
I see you, you see me,
Differently.
You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again (repeat)

I'm not familiar with Unkle Bob, in fact it's the first time I've heard of him and his song. Anyway, it's a short song just 2 minutes and a half. Well, I think it's a nice song. So unusual from what I listen to most of the time.

Interpretation: This is probably for someone who the singer knows that will never be with him. At first he was blinded by all the fame he's getting or feeling undecided between his girl or his career. Maybe he was too busy with his career that he's not giving enough time for that someone and came a time when he was asked to decide and thought that he couldn't let go of both his career and girlfriend. "And you're never coming home again" - means like the girl's given up on him for being indecisive.

"But I see you, you see me,
Differently.
I see you, you see me,
Differently."

And later on, he decides to change. But too bad it was too late by then and the girl has a new guy now.

"You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again" Well at least she told him that he loved him, but can't anymore.

*note that these are only my ideas - so comment up if you got another idea*
