Dragon nest: Minotaur's nest first solo attempt



Two days ago, I attempted to solo Minotaur's Nest with my level 34 engineer. The dungeon was recommended for a party of 4 people that are at least level 24 so being 10 levels higher I thought I should give it a try. Together with my robot army Alfredo and the mecha ducks, I entered the nest without really knowing what's waiting for me inside... *panic*

At first, I could handle Minotaur's minions. Setting all my cannon attacks and shooting my ducks here and there but when Minotaur itself engaged us in a battle, I always found myself getting dragged around by him. >.< He was huge and enormous for my loli character that sometimes I could no longer see myself. lol. With around 4 to 5 deaths, I still managed to kill him and had all the loots for myself. I got lucky with that S-rank and the epic Cow Strike heraldry. =) My character was only geared up with a +7 Gaia set (with the suffixes and enhancements). I'll probably get myself epic gears upon becoming a Gear Master. :)

Bad Job Application Experience


I just want to share my experience with this BS II Company in Ortigas and it's "fraudulent" ways to get people to work for them. A month ago, I received a text message coming from a certain Ms. Ella who was telling me to come for an interview the next day. Supposedly, there were hiring people from all kinds of courses for their newly opened office at Ortigas Tektite Building. At that time, me and my best friends were having a sleep over here at my house so I asked my friends if they want to come with me next time. They agreed and so the three of us went to Phil. Stock Exchange Center Tektite bldg. and decided to check the job opportunity being offered. When we arrived there, a man around early 30's asked us if we were there for a job application. I said yes and he offered us to check out their office inside the Phil. Stock Exchange Center. I asked him what company he was talking about and it seems that it was the same company that we're actually looking for. The guy asked us if we were there for an appointment and I told him yes with Ms. Ella and he asked again if I had an appointment with Ms. Ella that certain day. When I told him "no" he told us that he'd be our contact person instead and that if we were asked by the company how we learned about them, we'd tell them that we're only walk-in applicants. Me and my friends made glances at each other and we're starting to think that something's kinda fishy. With caution, we went with our "contact person" and he guided us a couple of floors up the building (can't remember the exact floor). We were guided inside a room with only tables and chairs that is packed with applicants . Nothing more. There were no computers or other office equipments of some sort. We were immediately presented to their Senior Area Manager and he was the one who conducted the interview with all three of us. Actually, one of our friends was only there to accompany us but people from that company insisted that she too should participate in the interview, seminar as well as the exams. So okay we finished the initial interview, attended their afternoon seminar and took the exams. It turned out that there were fees to be paid for us to become hired by the company. Part of their requirements is for us to pay P500 which they called their "accreditation fee" and to avail at least one of their offered products which is around P2k+ I think. There was no job to begin with. They hire people to recruit other people and for those people to recruit more people. It's a pyramid marketing scam. They earn through those requirement fees that they collect from their applicants. The senior area manager even told us that he could pay for the 500 on our behalf and we could just pay it the next day but good thing we were smart enough not to be deceived by them. Finally, he told us that we are hired *insert evil sarcastic laugh here* and that we should come back the next day. We said we would. When we got home, we blocked their numbers and laughed how we almost made a fool of ourselves. :D  
  
It is BS II Company located in Phil. Stock Exchange Center, Tektite Bldg. in Ortigas. Now, I'm merely sharing my bad experience with this certain company. For all those job seekers, please always be cautious. Don't just barge in a company after they contact you. Make a research first about the company and decide whether the company is legit or worth your time/money.

Anime: Sword Art Online Ep. 12

This episode breaks my heart. How could they kill such an adorable and nice character. :'( When Yui first appeared in episode 11, I thought Kirito and Asuna would finally have their happy      family inside that damned virtual world. So much for keeping my hopes up. :/




Oh well, this probably goes to show that SAO isn't your typical yey-Kirito-Asuna-became-a-couple-we-should-celebrate kind of anime. Kirito should just give Asuna a real baby, kidding. :3
