After a long day in SMX Convention filled with all Pinoys supporting their country, of course, and also enjoying the said Ran Global Tournament.

I was there to help out again, in merchandise, selling all kinds of Ran GT souvenirs, and also since I'm also studying photography these days, I borrowed a DSLR from my former colleague and friend, and also became a photographer awhile ago. I helped out also one of my friends back in my 'WeAreAnime' days, Ana, with her first-time field photography for Mangaholix.

I was also the information center of all e-Games staff, where to find them, etc. XD~

At first, we all thought heaven and hell have decided to twist the fate of Ran Philippines Team. The first 2 matches were lost, but suddenly gained so much by winning 3 consecutive matches! Thus, enabling them to go into semi-finals up to championship.

Let's skip a few parts where everyone was watching, screaming themselves hoarse, and cheering for the team by shouting Laban Pinas!

The championships is best of 5, wherein they tied on the 4th battle, where everyone was already cheering so loudly on the final match - in which Team Philippines won, and for my fave moments, was they took out 2 of the opponents' characters at once: Double PK!

Congrats again! All the hardwork was worth it after that~ ^.^

The GE PH Attendance sheet went beyond than what we've expected, and for this, we are truly grateful!

I saw lots of girl gamers in our booth that day - so I made lots of shameless plugs for them to come on the 2nd Girl Gamer Gathering.

The tournament was crowded with avid GE players as well - 8 teams of 2 passed on the registration cutoff time. And a nice round of teasing and handshaking for every round definitely made my day as well. It's as if I feel like home, I don't know why. ^^

A lot of players bought their boxes and Bellem cards that day. Thanks to the ones who purchased! Hope you guys enjoy your Emilia the Sage and Item of the Month.

Congratulations to the winners of Clash of the Pioneers:

Till next event! ^_~

The v2.6 is a bit crazy, you may want to check it out here: Featured Articles

Hopefully, time flies fast for July 3 to come!

Anyway, here's the aftermath of the Globe Summer Gimik Games last June 15 in Ayala Mall Cebu - the home of the GE Pinoy Champions (Zouk Raid Party, PH Commercial Launch).

As usual, they spoke in Bisaya - sweet language though, I love the soft accent. ^^

I did the usual presentation for GE - and yes with my usual homemade GE video by moi~ XD


And congratulations to the winners of the Clash of the Pioneers!

Cheers to the Cebu community! It was my first time there, and I totally had a blast! Sorry for turning down the dinner offer from my players - I have to man the booth. I hope you guys understand, but it was a great reunion nevertheless. Good to see Arc (one of the Best Feature Match PH team representative for Zouk Raid Party SG & Champions in PH Commercial Launch), Death, and Knight (Both Champions for PH Commercial Launch) again~ ^_^

This event was actually manned by me only - so I was late in every server that I visited, my apologies. ^^

Happy Independence Day to all Pinoys! Lagi po tayong mag-iingat sa lahat ng ginagawa natin - mapa-in-game, school or work. ^_~

Cagayan de Oro - City of Golden Friendship

When we were about to land on CDO, I've noticed that there were lots of mountains just like in Baguio - and it was cool to see that we've landed on top of a mountain where the CDO airport lies.


The Limketkai Mall was like a version of Greenhills, Greenbelt, and Glorietta all-in-one. The Atrium, in which we held the 5th leg of the Globe Summer Gimik Games event, was so huge! Plus, we fell in-love with the waterfall backdrop~ ^^


Our activities were pretty much the same, plus of course a GE presentation with my own amateur video XD~ And I've also judge the Audition dance battle again, plus managing to get pictures of the events like some crazy paparazzi.

Reunion of the GE PH team? Yup, Amelia™ and Hush of Cervantes that represented Cagayan de Oro during the Zouk Raid Party, and also the Liberty match during commercial launch at Esplanade. We had photo-op at the Globe booth and I'm thankful for the gift of yummy pastels again~ I feel so loved! XP~


The Clash of the Pioneers ended early, and so we invited lots of new players to join the freeplay. Lots of peeps from Carracci and Vivaldi were present during the event.


And they made me sing with the battle of the band champions as entertainment, I don't even know if I did well, but everyone was waving during my singing. LOLz~ This was the most unforgettable experience in CDO - and yes, hopefully this would be my last encore. XD~


Congratulations of the ff. winners of Clash of the Pioneers:
1st Place
Dagz & Jobhil of Vivaldi

2nd Place
Amelia™ & Hush of Cervantes

3rd Place
Consolar & Mackenzy of Vivaldi


Community snapshots~


I was also surprised to see that most of the marshalls were also GE players. Kudos to your hardwork guys! ^_^

Next stop: Cebu~!

*Please be informed that our Cebu visit has been moved to June 15, 2008. (same venue)

Davaoness for the 2nd Time! XD~

It was funny, the waitress at Banoks, our lovely Manang at the pasalubong shop still know us well; the ones during the first trip though.

Back to the Globe Summer Gimik Games event, since this was the 2nd visit, I've decided to change the mechanics and promos.

We had refer-a-new settler, freeplay with free 500 GPoints for them to experience more in GE, and lots of activities. Plus, we had the Clash of the Pioneers - only this time, it's 2vs2 PVP. Our booth had the same huge Bahia Island tarp in which most of the gentlemen would really love to take pictures at, plus my marshalls and game facilitator, and Adelina the Pirate on my printouts (to promote her offline game XP). We had lots of support from our new settlers! I hope they'll continue to play GE.


Plus our Strike-a-Pose Newspaper Dance never cease to amaze me. Since I rarely see guys hug or carry each other this way~ ^^v

The prize was the Granado Espada 4-CD soundtrack and postcards~

Congratulations to the following:

Back to the grind~ Our next stop on May 31: Cagayan de Oro!

The back-to-back event in Davao & Iloilo was a blast! In partnership with Globe, e-Games had began its mall tours lately nationwide. The venue was packed with lots of avid gamers, mall goers, and of course, the computers equipped with your favorite online games!

Gaisano Davao Pics
The GE Booth~

I dressed up my table with lotsa announcements and posters. The big Bahia Island tarp has a very pretty touch too~ (especially with our male gamers XD).


The marshalls, Carl & Caloy, and my game facilitator, Tristan, was very good in teaching the new players. I also provided them trial cards for free GPoints (only used for new accounts) so that they can enjoy the game better.


It was super fun! Lots participated for the Clash of the Pioneers. The veterans in Cervantes dominated the event, and also community from Carracci and Vivaldi participated and joined as well.
