Granado Girl: The Futel Family in Granado Espada SEA

UPDATE: Please refer to this site :)  for more updates about freelance writing in the Philippines AND about Essays.PH Sorry, people. It isn't the femme fatale Raven Futel writing now. I'm writing as Kristine. :) As most of you know, I was in Poland for the past year as an English teacher. (I guess most of my Grando Espada friends know that since I threw a goodbye party for them before I left ;p) When I came back from Europe, I was in a complete reverse culture shock . (read: crying every day) And I knew that one thing that could make me at least move on with my PH life is to get a job. So I tried passing my resume to various companies and job websites. I'm a 2008 graduate of AB Communication Arts in UST, and I did get job offers; both in snail mail and email. However, it isn't in my mindset to work as a call center agent/marketing trainee/medical representative or whatever and however you want to call it. And then I thought and thought. I scoured for freela...

So, I guess we won't be playing too much in Granado Espada. I personally think we're getting old, too, although Gavin begs to disagree. (Yeah, still the hunk that he is.) The friends that we made in Bach aren't there anymore *sob* and there are too many imba players, and I know we can get killed by just a spacebar. We don't know yet if we are fully retired or we'll just be going in GE from time to time. Of course, as we lay back and enjoy our endless vacation outside of Granado Espada, we are also helping our little sister in Dragonica. Yup, yup. Her name is Krysiunia...but OK. Call her Krysia for short. It's a Polish name. I guess Mom is now Polish by heart (OK, my sisters and brothers are laughing, hahaha) But anyway, Krysia is an archer. And currently the baby of the family. (Yes, I know. It isn't Viki anymore who's our baby...but still cute as ever.) So there. Krysia has blue hair...yup, that's her on the picture above. We were earlier doing he...

After hibernating for 8 months, the Futel family is back. Yes, we are back. Or at least we think we are back. Although there are a lot of things that are new in our world in Granado Espada, particularly that now we are in Bach, our faction is still standing. With one colony. It may seem that our old friends have already quitted - but we're still so touched as we were walking around the City of Auch on Sunday evening when Guailan messaged us. Seems like they do remember us, still. After Mom broaded to wish everybody good luck for the upcoming colony wars, she then PMd her friends, such as badbadtz, LightRaid, Ixal, KungHumirit, Ictus, BodyOfDesire. It was so nice to be back in GE, even for a moment. We're still thinking if we'd really come back. Why? 1.) We're only a family of 4 Experts - the rest are level 100s to Veterans. 2.) Other families are going to Master @___@ 3.) We can get killed with spacebar. 4.) Our equipment isn't strong anymore. So yeah, we are still ...

Dzien dobry from Poland! Raven here, typing, as always. Mom's busy cleaning our room here in Poland since we live alone now . Anyways, I type because I am so happy to share to you guys the newest addition to our family. But before that, a little story first. Mommy Tin was trying to download the GE Patch for the past week before Thursday in the hostel ~ but to no avail . Yes, we had a 1mbps connection, according to Speedtest.net, but somehow it's still slow. Probably the firewall is blocking the downloads. Both the automatic patch and the manual patch and the full client - nie ma. We don't have it. We cannot download it. So yeah, we were frustrated. Big time. Anywho, a friend offered to download it for us. Woot. But Mom took her hard drive in the office and tried to patch through the laptop there - and it worked. Who knows? Haha. So then we tried to log in and it works! Yay! Zapraszamy, GE version 2.9! :D So, so there. Then last night, mom's friend came and gave her hi...

Hey hey! Dzien dobry~ as what the Polish people say :) I think I need to write something as I haven't blogged anything yet here in my GE blog since I stepped in Poland. The temperature was a great drop from the usual 20++ in the Philippines to a shocking 8 degrees celsius in Poland. You could just imagine my happiness when I stepped down the plane wearing wedge sandals and my coat + jacket ~ with my breath smoking. You do know what I mean. Anyways, I am 2 hours away from Warsaw. Currently living in the 4th floor of Academicka 5, Radom, Poland. (read it as akademitska) hahahaha. OH well. I must say I have really good AIESEC friends and also non-AIESEC friends :D Yup. Living independently and working as an English teacher :P I am 2 weeks in Poland as I write this now~ I wish time would fly really fast. We are making the time fly so fast :) +++ Oh here's a GE related story. I met so many great people in GE. New friends have found places in my life and will never be erased anymor...

Which was supposed to be three actually. HAHAH. Oh well. We, the Futels of Vivaldi, are happy that we got one colony :D Behold the Ferruccio Junction~ colony of the Aggressor™ So what if there were 4 to 5 factions against us? :P At last! CWs in Vivaldi are NO LONGER boring :D weeeeheeee~ Keep up the good work, guys! And please please please cool your heads. HERE are some tips for you guys: LISTEN TO YOUR SUPERIORS. LISTEN TO YOUR SQUAD LEADERS. KEEP THE FACTION CHAT CLEAN. DO NOT MAKE UNNECESSARY MOVES. IF THE PLANS BACKFIRE, DO NOT BREAK DOWN AND START CURSING EVERYONE! MAKE ...
