Two months after it has been announced by Level Up! PH, Allods Online will be officially opened for Filipino gamers!

LU announced the start of their most anticipated game of the year. With award-winning graphics and gameplay, Allods Online, which was developed by Astrum Nival, can be considered one of the most sought after games in the gaming industry today. What makes it one of a kind is the wide variety of races and archetypes for more diverse gaming. 

Though the announced date for AO's OBT was yesterday, November 9, the AO Team announced an extended maintenance that will probably end today, to "make sure everything will run smoothly rather than launching the realms then encounter difficulties such as lag, disconnection, client crash".

After a busy first week of November, I'm finally back. 

An old friend called me last week and told me she needed a judge for a writing contest. Well, because I've always loved writing (especially sports writing), I agreed. It was a journalism contest and there were 7 categories: News writing, Feature writing, Editorial writing, Copyreading and Headline writing, Editorial Cartooning, Photojournalism, and Sports writing. All contests, except for photojournalism, cover both English and Filipino. 

It was a wonderful experience for me, having to trace down my writing roots (if there's such a thing). It's also inspiring to see high school students going at it in writing - a field that is slowly becoming distant to people nowadays. My co-judges, who are respected journalists in their chosen field, said writing isn't just a hobby, but an activity that connects people. Unfortunately, its value has slowly diminished because of the many advancements in technology. 

Well, those were just some things we talked about while waiting for the contest entries. After the event, I felt refreshed, as if I were young again. I also talked with my former school paper adviser who was also there. After the awarding ceremony, I went home.

There were other things that I attended to when I was away, but I guess that's another story.
