Missin' DET of AruaRose

There was no doubt for real that gaming had been a great part of my life. There are times that i find myself going back and quitting after a few days. I felt i had outgrown being and living online. Recently i had been in this huge confusion whether to go back or visit and let this longing simply pass. I miss RoseOnline and everything about my AruaRose life.


I started playing Roseonline many years back, those times i was still in the Philippines and the games ruling RPG was Ragnarok. My boyfriend (exbf now) played this game and i joined him. Later on i was the one who 'd grown more addicted to it that i play even in wee hours of the night after my shift or even before i take calls. (I was working in a call centre)

I left Aruarose about 2 years now but i felt still attached to the game somehow. I made friends in there and long time buddies which i have known even back in Prose (Sirius) was playing in Arua too. Two years back my decision to leave the game was mainly to fulfill the changes i have promised myself because Aruarose was taking too much of my life.

I was HIRAIA.

DET. Dont Even Trip was my last clan in Aruarose before i left the game. I also have my own clan which i keep for my own characters and farmers. Chic and SweetHeart.
DET was the strongest clan i have ever joined in AruaRose.

I was not really around here : But Jeiram managed to login my cleric because of this photoshoot..


DETs are camwhores.



Tired in ECF farming CP and warring.


Leet Line up .. DET sit proud. See people trying to annoy. How jealous. lol During these times, only a few are leet ingame. Only a few can wear Arch Wings. Eat your heart out. We had the best gears in DET.


So we got bored after farming CP and warring we ended up here in the Beach doin' some random summoning. We actually did summoned a BK, but we were hoping for a Kera.

There was some time DET got into Union wars. It was fun we login at the same time even if we are located in different time zones. Even the busy ones can do the war thingy twice a day. As a clan we would normally root for one union or two of the same sides. But being that popular (wow) attracts people, often where we go people follows, its more than sure win to get DET on your sides after all we got the best fighters, and ofcourse, the best healers ~_^


Fast Levelling. One way to level a noob fast is going to the beach. Summon galore for level but this eats Zulies big time. But you can be lucky. BK in beach drops uniques thats where i got a few expensive ones.

My raider. I am proud of my raider Amaziah. He brings me billions in a week. I well know how to use him, his built, his skills, his timings. My raider without a single Int is my moneymaker among my chars.




my chars before i quitted. the first one is not me, thats lalaines cleric.
elisha is a scout who stayed at 208 for universal boss farming.
Hector is the sub cleric. Amaziah my raider. Hiraia my DET cleric.

My signature in DET created by Bionix




:( I dont play anymore butsometimes i really miss the game. The addiction. But at times i feel thankful.. I almost lost my life online and i made it out. I was lucky.
Gaming is not bad. Just get yourself a nice set of priorities and stick to it. Set the gaming a few steps from the last. You will be fine. Enjoy. :)

I highly recommend AruaRose. I have tried other games. There's no one closer to it.

PLAY ARUAROSE . Long Live Don't Even Trip !

Cassandra Clare : Mortal Instruments Writer


Cassandra Clare is the pseudonym of the bestselling author of the young adult quartet The Mortal Instruments.
Cassandra Clare was born to American parents in Tehran. She lived in France, England and Switzerland before she was ten

years old. From her high school years on, she lived in Los Angeles and New York, where she worked at various

entertainment magazines and tabloids. She started working on her novel City of Bones in 2004, inspired by the urban

landscape of Manhattan. The Mortal Instruments have been optioned for film by Unique Features.

Prior to the publishing of City of Bones, Clare was known for writing fan fiction under the similar pseudonym Cassandra Claire. Her main works were The Draco Trilogy and The Very Secret Diaries (The Lord of the Rings). Claire was considered a Big Name Fan and was covered in several newspaper articles about fan fiction, but has since been accused of plagiarism from within the fan fiction community.

Clare took part of her pseudonym from The Beautiful Cassandra, on which she had based an epic novel during high school.

She is friends with another Harry Potter Big Name Fan Sarah Rees Brennan, who also writes in the young-adult genre.

My Grandfather : My Saint

Exactly 2 years ago this day was not a very happy day for me and my family. Our beloved grandfather died and left us after many years of fruitful living. My sister and I calls our grandafther 'Tatay', in Filipino its a term like Papa or Dad. We get to imitate the older people when we are younger and so following my mother, we called him Tatay.

You see, Tatay was not exactly the very cuddly cheerful granfather you could find. Infact he is very moody and very stubborn. He was the first man i knew who smoke cigarettes because he always ask me to buy one for him when i was younger. I would normally ran his errands, because when he was living and younger i always find him fierce when he shouts. But that do not stop me from being the spoilt kid to him. My parents would say that when i was a toddler, he was very fond of me, there was even a history when i bit him in his leg, but he remained to be nice and loving, anyway i was the first grandchild. That could be the reason.

People said i got my brains from him because i have always known my grandfather to be smart and intelligent. He reads a lot. He likes sports. And he is good with crafts. I am the same. He was not the perfect father , but i know his life was far worth lived than anyone else because he raised my mother.

Since Tatay died i feel rested at the thought that there is someone with me wherever i am. True that i missed those rare times i visited him when he was still alive. I also regret never giving him ample attention when he was still living. But i know tatay would understand. Even when i came back home with a broken heart and Tatay did not ask any questions, i know he understood.

Tatay is gone now, but he will live in my heart forever. I talk to him everyday i feel alone. I know he is here guiding me and giving me luck, showing me the right decisions i must do.

InkDeath by Cornelia Funke

InkSpell by Cornelia Funke

Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

Cornelia Funke, the Lady of Inkworld


Cornelia Funke is by many counts one of the most talented writers of children’s literature currently. Though she hasn’t yet approached the popularity of J.K. Rowling, several of her works are considered nearly on par with the Harry Potter series, and sometimes she has been referred to as the German answer to J.K. Rowling. Gifted at writing and illustrating books in the fantasy genre, Funke became even better known to American audiences in 2008 with the release of the film, Inkheart based on one of her most popular series.

Cornelia Funke was born in 10 December 1958 in West Germany and after graduating college, took up a career in social work. After briefly working as an illustrator, she began to create her own works, with her two series of books called Ghosthunters and Wild Chicks. While these books were popular in her native country, it was her 1996 novel Dragon Rider which drew her international notice when several years later.

Dragon Rider was followed by the successful work The Thief Lord. Both novels spent time on the New York Times Bestseller list. Subsequent novels included the three volume Inkheart series, Inkheart, Inkspell and Inkdeath. More recent works include Igraine the Brave.

Fan’s of the works of Cornelia Funke enjoy visiting her website, where her own biography is less full on details than inspiration. She states one reason for writing books was that she wanted to write works she would have fun illustrating. She also notes a lifelong interest in education and confesses an addiction to both books and films.

Funke’s work can definitely be considered a boon to children’s literature, and she has received numerous acknowledgments and awards for her books. These include a 2004 award for Inkspell as a Book Sense Children’s Literature Award, and the Rosawitha Prize, the oldest and one of the most esteemed German literature awards. The Rosawitha Prize is awarded exclusively to exceptional female authors.

Many of the stories of Cornelia Funke feature very intelligent children with a great love of reading. Some have traced her style, which feels somewhat different from traditional American and UK children’s literature to the German gothic tradition. She also often places children in situations where they must frequently care for themselves and possess extraordinary know-how and wit.

Though Cornelia Funke grew up in Germany, she, her two children and her husband Rolf relocated to the US in 2005. Sadly Rolf passed away in 2006. On her website, Funke describes their Los Angeles household, which she shares with a female turtle named Hercules and a “crazy” dog named Luna. English speakers may be interested in pronouncing her name correctly. It should be said “Foon-ka” instead of pronounced like the English word “funk.”

I am an Oilbularya

I did not get into oiling because of the hype. I was interested after hearing from close friends how oiling has helped them, I thought ...
