...not working well. First, it would not detect the WiFi here in the office. Then, it would lag and hang. Imagine, even if mag-shut down na ako... may gana pa siya mag-hang. Ang saya-saya. I'm super worried. Magastos magpaayos. Huhu... And all my work depends on that laptop. Kahit ganun yun, mahal ko yun. Importante yun sa akin. I heart it. Huhu... I wanna cry pero what the hell... palabas na ang Harry Potter!!! My theory is... it conked out because I worked on it for more than 8 hours straight yesterday. Proud pa naman ako kasi it didn't "hang" yesterday, not even once. Not even if I was multi-tasking the entire time. RAWRRRRRR! Right now, I'm using my cousin's laptop. :(

Davao Gamers Blog
Yes. I know... I'm addicted and there's no point in denying in. Hi! I'm Ria and I'm a DoTA Addict! So what do I do when I'm addicted to something??? I make a blog about it. LOL! Introducing... Ria At Play! Chachaaan! My goal is actually to make it a community blog for local gamers. But since no one has expressed interest in joining me, it's just going to be me for now. So bear with me while I obssess about DoTA, tournaments, heroes, items, line ups, teams, match-ups and other related things and events. If you're a gamer based in Davao City and you wish to join me in this endeavor, contact me. ;)
Nang-Aano ka Eh!!!
Sa susunod, magbasa ka ng mabuti. Wag mag-react kung di dapat mag-react. Wag maging defensive kung di ka naman tinitira. Wag manghahamon ng di mo kilala ang hinahamon mo. Wag magmayabang kung di mo naman alam na mas may ipagmamayabang ang kinakalaban mo. MAGPAPAPUNET KA?
Is Professional Gaming Possible in Davao City?
The Davao Cyber Expo 2007: Davao Cyber Games DoTA Championships (DCE-DCG) held last July 4, 5, and 6, 2007 at the NCCC Mall of Davao City was indeed a big success but marred by much problems and controversy. Organizers Kitsi Avila, Lester Avila and TJ (?) of E2 Events conceptualized the event to raise the level of gaming in the city to a professional one. Although the event may be considered as a success, it still begs the answer to the question that started it all: "Is professional gaming possible in Davao City?" I do not claim to be a veteran gamer, but I believe I can provide more than my two cents worth to this issue. Dictionary.com lists the following definitions of a professional: following an occupation as a means of livelihood or for gain following as a business an occupation ordinarily engaged in as a pastime a person who earns a living in a sport or other occupation frequently engaged in by amateurs While it is laudable that the organizers provided a DoTA Constitution for the players, I question why it was authored by a player who was actively participating in the tournament, and affiliated with more than…

My Davao Cyber Expo 2007: Davao Cyber Games Experience
Lessons I learned: Never ever form a team of players who do not have a "home base" and do not play with each other regularly. Practice makes perfect. Getting angry doesn't solve anything. Kung bawal, bawal... no qualifiers. Kung bawal trashtalking, bawal... no ifs, no buts. Rules are rules. Wag gumawa ng rules tapos di susundin or babaguhin. Delicadeza... alamin mo kung ano yun. Time is gold. Biases should be set aside, NO MATTER WHAT!
