Changes, And Then Some

I’ve changed my layout – again.  Yes.

I tend to do that pretty often, if you hadn’t noticed it by now.  :D

I know I haven’t been blogging that often lately… but that’s because I’ve kinda lost interest in blogging about my mundane life.

I’m still playing World of Warcraft, for those who haven’t been catching up with me.  I already have a max level character,  a Blood Elf holy-specced priestess.  Unfortunately, I’d get really stressed up while healing a party in instances, and I’d feel really guilty if someone in the party died at a boss or something.   Hence, to alleviate my stress, Reko convinced me to start a DPS (damage-per-second) character.  Knowing that I’d prefer to go for range attack than close-up encounters, he suggested a hunter, and I went for it.

I must say it was a nice change.  I’m no longer stressed about keeping everyone alive, and could just enjoy the game.  Of course I still suck when it comes to real combat against players (i.e. PVP action) since I’m lousy at macro and hotkeys, but I’m still enjoying myself in Alterac Valley (a 40 players vs 40 players battleground) even though I’m dying pretty often when it comes to one-vs-one.  XD  Thanks to an AV holiday last week, my exp shot up pretty fast and my hunter shot up to level 77 from level 71 in just three or four days.  I went from being Neutral with the Frostwolf faction to Exalted in the same period too.  (I’m talking about faction reputation here, for those who don’t understand what I’m saying.  XD)  It was quite a feat, really.  I’ve got tons of PVP / AV achievements at the same time too.

In short, I’m really starting to enjoy the game ever since I started a hunter.  :D

Yeah, I do miss healing, and the feeling of being “useful”, but like what Reko says, it’s just too stressful for me and instead of feeling useful, I’d start to feel “useless” and that’s not the point of playing a game.  While I do agree with that, sometimes I can’t help but wonder why I’m so stressed with healing in WoW.  I didn’t remember I was that stressed up when healing in Ragnarok Online >_>;  Maybe it’s because it’s a more complicated game system in WoW.  XD

Games aside… Work is still the same with me.  Not much of any changes, except for the fact that my company had terminated some people a few months back, which I think I had blogged about it briefly.  Let’s just hope my colleagues and I will be safe from the next wave.

Some troubles between my parents… but nothing new.  Just hope that things don’t get blown up.

Oh yeah, my nephew is getting cuter and cuter by the day.  :D  And no, I still can’t muster up enough courage to carry him.

Hmm, and I need a new modem soon.  Good thing my Singnet broadband contract has ended, and I can go re-contract with them and get a brand new modem.  Hur hur.  But I’m gonna wait till the Comex exhibition to see if there’s any drool-worthy deals.  =D

And I need a new CPU.  And monitor.  What I have now at my own place sucks.

OH YEAH.  My upcoming birthday present this year from Reko is… *drumrolls*… A STAR CRUISE TRIP.  =D  I’m so looking forward to it!  First of all, I’ve never been on a cruise.  This will be the first time for me!  And then secondly, it’s a welcome break~!  And of course, some private time with your dearest is always good. ^_^
