Navigation Summary

my life and my passion

It ironic that my life, most often than not, consists of my work and my passion. However, there are still parts of my life that I would like to share. To have words to describe my life would be insufficient, therefore, I have included pictures (or at least I plan to put some).

Living

For those who follow The Queer Eye for the Straight Guy series, you might notice that most of the interior design that Thom Felicia used is somewhat Modern-Retro. That is my kind of living that I love to have for my home. This link here will give you some idea what Modern-Retro is all about.

	And wham, physical contact!		A visual proof of her success. :-)

	She even have the bird perched on her hand. (And a bite on her wrist, too)		I was tempted to give the bird a try. (I was scared of that bird. I don't want to end up like my sister)

	A visual proof of my success. :-) Notice that my 3-year-old nephew is taunting the bird.

I love playing electronic games. They keep my mind off my hectic life. I prefer RPG but often persuaded to try some arcade, strategy, shoot 'em up and simulation by my friends. Some of them stick, some of them end up in the trash. These are some of the titles that I actually enjoy playing.

EverQuest Lores

The obsession starts when I played EverQuest. Like almost all RPG Games, EverQuest offers a lot of stories, or lores, explaining and 'why things are they way they are'. I obtained some of them from EverQuest Official Site (see Electronic Games section) and players submission (please refer Credits section). Lores obtained from the official site is considered as official lores and lores obtain from players are considered as in-game lores. I do not, however collect in-game lores that have anything to do with recipes.

I love to read them. Not only are they are as good as Lords of the Ring Book by Tolkien (well, to me at least they are), they are also captiving since they capture the tribulations of human persona around a world with the ability to conduct magic. To tell the truth, not only I collect them, I even compiled them into a book- white turned into brownish paper, leather bound.

My next project will be to extract the text files from Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II game.
