I had been pretty busy preparing the house for Randy's fourth visit . Both of us are too excited to see each other again after his last August visit.

This morning, Randy logged in late. His daughter told me on Skype Voice that he called and will be late an hour more since he will pass by to the store on his way home. When Randy arrived home, he told me that it took him couple of hours to do the equipment maintenance in front of a camera. His video footage will be used for teaching purposes.

This afternoon, while Randy and I were watching Medium via Skype webcam, I called Jun Mondejar of Equitable PCIBank after I received SMS from him. He informed me the feedback from ATM center that it might take us between 7 and 16 days tracking period to find out where my missing PhP10,000 went. Last Saturday, the said amount had been accidentally withdrawn from my Visa Electron Card after a failed transaction in Metrobank ATM in SM Supersale outlet. Inconveniences brought by this wired transaction error had been affected many depositors and clients this is why I prefer to pay cash than use my card to avoid double charges.

Meanwhile, Randy and I were both upset with the reactions posted by some players in the Blogshares Forum Gallery so I had thought to share this joke from Bilal Basit for a change:

"In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill.

Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber.

"I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces.

The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the brain yourselves..."

The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?"

The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a female brain."

The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked. A man unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask,

"Why is the male brain so much more?"

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they've actually been used." (End of Joke)

Well, many thanks to Bilal for this laugh.

Pursuant to Blogshares Rules, Section 6 - Community Behavior, Sub-Section A - Personal Messages, 3rd paragraph:

"If another player requests that you stop sending him/her personal messages for any reason, then you must do so or be in violation of the above harrasment clause. This does not include automated messages sent by the system for artefact actions."

I therefore reported this morning a violation against a BS nasty player, Amadeus, in the Blogshares forum. Between the months of June and July this year, this said player, along with PnP, posted nasty comments in this blog which forced me to close my blog's COMMENTS section.

Their nasty and defamatory comments caused me severe anxiety and I decided to file a complaint before it triggers again another anxiety that caused me so much sleepless nights, time, money, and inconveniences.

Pacette called up in the morning to tell me to get ready. I hurriedly logged online to inform Randy that I will do my X-Ray and have my blood sugar be tested.

When Pacette arrived, Pearl and I hurriedly went downstairs. We went to Quezon City General Hospital OPD. Papa assisted us and instructed Pacette to get me Out-Patient Information Sheet and Patient's Card.

When my name was called, I explained what has happened with me. The nurse took my BP (110/80) and pulse rate (80). Then, Papa showed me where I could have my blood sugar test. Normal blood sugar count is 100 but, mine was 111. They advised me to watch the food I will be eating since my father is diabetic.

I was then called by a young doctor, who gave me Serc (16 mg. tablet) prescription, to be taken 3 times a day for 5 days, for drowsiness. He also gave me X-Ray, CBC, and Ophtha requests. Papa then accompanied me to the X-Ray room and I had my Chest X-Ray taken, result will be released on Friday while Optha clinic was closed. I should be early tomorrow to be accomodated since they only accept 10 patients a day. Besides, fasting is necessary after 12 midnight tonight for my CBC test tomorrow morning.

As we arrived home, I was grasping my breathe. I had severe headache and been dizzy since I left the house. Randy was waiting for me online. I left all programs running so I can chat with him as soon as I arrived home. I told him how I was accomodated by the hospital staffs warmly unlike the ones from Capitol Medical Center.

He excitedly told me that since I left, until I came back, Blogshares site had been under maintenance and backed up the same time I arrived. I jokingly told him I didn't have a hand on it... At times like this, Randy and I realized that life will have no meaning if one of us won't be there around... we have waited all these years to find each other.

And, am hopeful, the result of chest x-ray on Friday will be negative for fluids in my lungs. Whether I lacked oxygen or not, the series of test will determine what's my possible illness... and, guess what? I snoore couple of times last night!

This blog had been an obsession of one (or two) hostile players in Blogshares posting nasty and offensive comments. Comments section had been turned off and on so my regular blog visitors may be able to access and leave comments and been set off while I was offline.

Necessary actions like IP Deny and blocking had been made but this said player, known as PnP, was mean enough to use anonymouse in order to cloak his IP and be able to leave three offensive comments to different entries. I find this man emotionally sick and urge my pious readers to please help me pray for him and may he will be back to normal state.

Meanwhile, I was invited by my JJLHS school mates and we met at Oyster Boy at Greenhills Shopping Center at around 7 pm. Pearl and Paul Denise accompanied me but they stayed in another table. They even won PhP 1400 from an electronic Bingo machine in a nearby shop after they had their dinner.

One of my high school mates had a promotion and we're happy to celebrate the achievements he recently received. Sharing past and new experiences made time flies so quickly that if not because of my children's presence, I wouldn't noticed it was almost midnight.

Also, Randy and I failed to recite the rosary but we had been exchanging chikka messages that I was still with my school mates having dinner.

We all had fun even though five among invited didn't show up due to family commitments.

Oooopppsssss! Sorry to Judge Malou for forgetting to record your QTV interview.

Rich Taylor told me about BlogShares Chances now LIVE and running:

Welcome to BlogShares Chances!

You might get shares in an old blog, ideas in a rare industry, an artefact you need, cash or chip jackpots, Pixels, Raffle tickets, or even a day, week, month, or year of B$ Premium!

Green Messages are prizes you win. Red Messages mean you didn't win a prize.

TAKE A CHANCE

10 chips per play.

Before logging out to bed, I had 606388 chips remaining and 1064 cheap blogs in my portfolio!

Meanwhile, Junjun received a call again from Lily c/o Level Up, and she confirmed that my son definitely won a free trip to South Korea. They are waiting for the visa transmittal. We're happy for my son!

Friday, July 07, 2006

I called up my counsel when I received a text message from her. She informed me that she received an invitation from my EX's counsel to clarify something.

Also, she asked me whether I want to hear what the other counsel wants to say but, we had thought it could probably be a trap and maybe someone would take video from afar and will use it against us.

With my permission, I agreed that she can meet the respondent's lawyer tomorrow to hear what the EX wants to say. I forgot to ask whether she will charge me for that coffee meeting.

Meanwhile, in BlogShares game, my founded {NSI} corporation declares ARTEFACTS HOLIDAY due to recent attacks received from different hostile players, until further notice.

{NSI} members can RETALIATE and may use all their artefacts without restrictions prior to BlogShares Rules Sub-Section C - Artefact Usage.

Just because we're playing neatly, others find an opportunity to harass our held shares in top blogs and test our patience. I play to relax my mind, not to find enemies. Some players out there were having fun hurting other players' investment and harassing them away from playing the game. I couldn't imagine a gaming community wherein only top richest players are somewhat monopolizing to play the top blogs.

Strategies? No, I called it greed. Artefacts holiday is appropriate for agrieved members of {NSI}.

When Randy started playing in Blogshares Shares Market two months ago, I was encouraged to do the same. Of all areas in BlogShares other than the Forum, I avoided trading shares of top blogs ever since I had an argument with Randy on March 1st, 2004. That's more than two years ago... he hostile takeover shares I held in Persian blog and caused me so much loses. I accused him of dirty game play and in return, he gifted me some cheap shares from different blogs to cover up my loses. That's how we met. We became friends then until we turned best of friends!

The »-(¯*NEAT Strategies, Inc*¯)-», the fantasy corporation I founded on the 29th of May 2006 had been the target of controversies. When James T. , an Int'l Strategist of my {NSI} Corporation, mistakenly hostile take over a blog caused by slump artefact by others, I got couple of messages from a top richest player. When Randy saved the shares of flickr currently held by DJ SWA by hostile takeover, my portfolio had been attacked causing me loses in billions of B$ investments. I warned the said player but in return, I got the last (no first, second, nor third) warning through a PM by an admin without passing a due process. Then, here comes Amadeus and Sara Bear both questioning me for the individual strategy of Streetdogg, another Int'l Strategist of {NSI} corporation I founded.

And tonight, after selling Flicker shares and passed it on to Randy through a PP artefact, we found out that the yinengjing shares I passed on to Randy had been badly slumped and PRD by DJ SWA before RST. Too late to find out that Randy PRD Blog di Beppe Grillo which shares were held by DJ SWA. What's unfair there? The shares of Comics: Somethingpositive blog I held had been PRD 7 times by DJ SWA!

I had heated discussion with Randy. This is the second time that he did something without telling me first and what's surprising, I had been attacked by several players due to the individual actions of my corporate members. Why me? Maybe because I am still currently at rank 8th in the BlogShares Composite Leaderboard!

Anyway, here is my July 01, 2006 portfolio:

I am playing to release some stress. I find it so unfair when some players played nasty and caused misunderstandings between me and Randy... then, there had been quiet times between us, and, so I blogged...

Monday, June 19, 2006

DJ SWA, the current richest player in Blogshares, had been a bone in the neck to most players in Blogshares. Several times he made hostile attacks against our investments and this evening, he was not contented running away with Randy's 4000 shares in Flicker and Sina, he also attacked 4000 shares I held in Political Animal and Michelle Malkin causing me lots of B$ loses.

I consider this harassment and I had thought to send him this warning.

From {NSI} Laila*
To The Undertaker aka DJ Swa
Date 10:59 18 Jun 2006

Stop attacking our investments. It's a shame you're the top richest player and you wouldn't give less richer players a chance to make some profit.

You're such a lazy player (not) to watch the blog until someone sells. You always attacked whenever you wanted at your own convenient time.

Please consider this a warning.

Laila*

And I got this message from DJ SWA:

RE: Hostile Attacks
From The Undertaker aka DJ Swa
To {NSI} Laila*
Date 11:11 18 Jun 2006

After this message from you:

I type this only once!!!

Never PM me again or I report you to the BSEC!

regards,

The lazy player

Some people were nasty enough to have his cake and eat it too. What am I going to do now, stop playing BlogShares just like what others did?

Randy had been enduring a tooth problem since he was here in Manila. He even had dental treatment before he left to San Diego.

Finally, a stubborn tooth had been pulled today but, the medication he's taking made him a bit nervous and impatient. I had been hearing his moaning from pain because they didn't just pulled it, his dentist cut his gum to get all pieces of his molar tooth pulled out then made some stitches. He's on a soft diet to fill something in before taking his medication.

In the middle of his condition, I wanted to make him busy to keep his mind off from the pain but, something has happened while we're watching top blogs in Blogshares. We're in group chat with my {NSI} supporters guiding them how to make a neat buy when someone sold shares to the market. Both Randy and I spoiled the plan and that upset both of us before he logged out to sleep.

When he logged in back tonight, everything was okay except that he didn't sleep well. He sold his blogs under BB, SS, and DH folders and I bought the shares every 20 minutes until I bought all the 4000 shares for each blog. When he went to work, I had spent the rest of the evening reporting inactive blogs to earn some sigma points.

Randy told me he might have a sick leave for the day and will submit only some papers that his graduating class needed but, I think he teach his class even he's suffering from severe pain. Besides, the prescribed Vicodin caused him inconvenience of going to toilet more often.

I wish they already solved your tooth problem, Randy...

Doing my morning routines with Randy had been easier and running smoothly since PLDT DSL has been restored. Passing on blogs' shares ownerships with my »-(¯`v* NEAT Strategies *v´¯)-» corporate members had been fun. It's nice to make profits without cheating and harming other's investments.

With Randy around, there's never a dull moment but, he had to go to bed at past 1:00 in the morning (San Diego time) since the kids and I were getting ready for the 5:00 o'clock afternoon mass.

At Lady of Hope Parish, we hurriedly took our seats because the mass had started. We're not lucky to sit in one row and I can barely see Rev. Fr. Alfredo A. Pascual Jr., who said the mass. Before our priest start his Homily, he greeted us all a Happy Birthday. He said that today was the Feast of the Pentecost and celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit. The Feast of Holy Pentecost is celebrated each year on the fiftieth day after the Great and Holy Feast of Pascha (Easter) and ten days after the Feast of the Ascension of Christ*. It was conincidence that Junjun and I wore red and so was the priest. The First Reading was Acts 2:1-11 and Second Reading was1 Cor 12:3b-7, 12-13.

After the mass, the kids, Tintin, and I went straight to SM North Bowling Center. I was planning to play to get rid of my headache but I decided to watch our belongings because there were many people playing as well. This time, Pearl and Tintin teamed up against Junjun and Paul Denise. As usual, Pearl's team won but, I didn't award them any prize for the strikes they made. I got headache that I let them play one round and I told them to follow me at Pancake House.

Pearl didn't like the food in Pancake House but, I insisted that Junjun should try also what Tintin used to order when we're eating out. Kids made their orders but were surprised that I asked for Clubhouse Sandwich, Potato Salad, and Beef Sabrina for myself. While waiting for the food to be served, Pearl noticed that majority of customers eating there were wearing red too. I just smiled and commented that they were probably celebrating their birthdays. And, with that statement, they greeted me a Happy Birthday in advanced. When the food was served, Tintin's Pork Vienna order wasn't included. After ten minutes, it was served but all of us were already full.

Although the kids were not satisfied with the kind of food they served, we all had fun. When we're going out of the building, Pearl asked me why I didn't liked to play Bowling. I told her I forgot to trim my long nails...

Hatred is a sin but what can I do? There is nothing annoying than paying a PLDT DSL Subscription Plan myDSL XCEL with a promise of 2 mbps bandwidth speed upgrade and I didn't get it, and worse, since my account had been upgraded last 19th of this month, my agony with my DSL broadband internet started. Who will believe that my bandwidth speed was only 4 kbps most of the time, just enough to connect me to Yahoo chat? I cannot retrieve my mails nor browse pages without using PLDT VIBE dialup internet. PLDT DSL has been a nightmare to all its affected subscribers!

Meanwhile, due to bad internet connection, I was unable to collect my Neopets freebies and Neobank interests. Also, I failed to buy ideas in Blogshares and carry out my usual trading in the shares market. Hopelessly staring at the monitor screen hoping DSL bandwidth speed will restore its normal speed I paid for, I created »-(¯`v* NEAT Strategies *v´¯)-», a Blogshares corporation I founded to recruit BS players who wish to team up with good players who want nothing but a neat gaming strategies without hurting other players. Loading pages had been a painful task but, I managed to add it to the corporations founded by other BS players.

Am waiting for Randy to come online, and he will be upset again since we cannot use SKYPE to voice chat with each other. I missed watching Deal or No Deal this afternoon because PLDT DSL is a Deteriorated Subscriber Line.

Sunday, May 21, 2006

Early in the morning, the technician from PLDT arrived and I explained well to him how my agony started and showed him the DSL packet received and sent, he realized that the problem wasn't on my side but from their Data Center. He said they are going to call me once they brought back their regular DSL internet.

When the kids were up, I had an accident when I was preparing breakfast for Mama and the kids. The harsh brown potatoes, hot dog, cheese omelette and ham were almost done when I accidentally burned myself. Due to shock, I threw the ham back to the pan and hot oil scattered around the burner caught fire until it reached to the pan. I calmly turned off the burner and washed my left arm with cold water. It hurts and I told Randy about it as I went back to our chat.

Randy was not happy about what's going on with my internet. Our chat dropped each time someone called my kids. I had to reconnect the PLDT VIBE again and again just to run the programs Randy and I were using. He's upset we couldn't watch our favorite TV shows together and I couldn't buy all the shares from him. He logged out early to give way for me to get ready.

Before the kids and I left for the Sunday mass, I created BLOGSHARES MISSION #871 - SHARES MARKET SABOTEURS. I will give 100 chips per entry for every one player's artefacts' transaction history they will submit and Randy will give ONE (1) BLOGSHARES PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP to the top submitter... click here to join!

Then, we left to Our Lady of Hope Parish, to hear the 5:00 pm mass. The kids and I were fortunate to be seated in the last row near the church's entrance. Today is the 6th Sunday of Easter and the Guest Priest from Malaysia said the mass. The First Reading was Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48, the Second Reading was 1 Jn 4:7-10 and the Gospel, Jn 15:9-17, Jesus said to his disciples: "As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love..."

In my heart, I was happy seeing my children attending Sunday mass with me. And, I wished that Randy's with us praying the Our Father. As the mass ended, we went straight to SM Bowling Center but, the kids decided to eat our dinner at Super Bowl of China where we had Fried Crispy Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Sliced Beef with Broccoli, Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet, Birthday Noodles, and 3 orders of Super Bowl Fried Rice. They served their dishes so yummy that we emptied all plates. We're too full to play Bowling so we cancelled it off our schedule. All we wanted was to go home and rest.

At home, the DSL internet upsets me again. I had to use PLDT VIBE dialup internet to chat with Randy before he left to work. There were some entries submitted in my mission but, I couldn't verify them yet because I had very, very, very poor internet speed.

Tuesday, May 16, 2006

I found an exciting way to buy shares of top blogs when I turned ON alerts of top 150 blogs to watch. Each time someone sells or buys, I received an alert of the transaction and I can buy the shares by pressuring the public or restructure the shares (which I will pay three times of its value).

Both Randy and I had fun exchanging blog's shares ownerships after the 6 hour period is over. The game is so addicting we barely noticed the time.

As soon as he logged out and I became busy in the kitchen, I received a subpoena for Case III's Collusion Investigation on May 22 at 2:40 pm. I have a hearing to attend tomorrow and I hope I will finish these cases the earliest time possible.

Saturday, May 13, 2006

While RWO and I wish to see more players playing unlimited transactions by giving away more Blogshares premium memberships from time to time, I was disappointed recently seeing this gaming community has taken over by rude members who mean not to play this game but, to drive away other players from playing. They won't drop you a line, they will just buzzed up industries to increase PE or slump it to drop share's price. The action wasn't made by two players, more were involved. They won't let you gain any profits, in fact, they will drop prices to make you lose your investments.

Many thanks to those who spent their artefacts to buzz industries that caused my shares' PEs went up as much as 2k and made me impossible to sell my holdings. I was just wondering how many among these gang players have multiple accounts and how many players have stayed away from playing because of this group.

To DJ SWA whose account is currently suspended, I fully understand why you have been rude lately with those mean players... there's nothing like that in 2004 since I started playing in Blogshares. I want to play to relax from pressures which the three cases brought me, and yet, there were many unfriendly people out there.

Anyway, Randy and I watched some of San Diego's local TV shows instead.

Thursday, May 11, 2006

As usual, we played in Blogshares but when Andika HTO the 4000 shares I held in IlBlog di Beppe Grillo, I stopped playing and watched Deal or No Deal and Dateline NBC's To Catch a Predator instead with Randy. Chris Hansen noted in his live blog that:

"It is without a doubt the most elaborate undercover house we’re ever had. 13 hidden cameras record every move our visitors (sex predators) make, from the moment they drive down the street, until they come face to face with me (Hansen) and then, later are arrested by Ft. Myers police after leaving the house."

Wish the local TV network here in the country will do the same coverage to safeguard online teens from being victimized by perverts.

Tuesday, May 09, 2006

I was upset last night because I had lost a lot when SubWolf did make one minor change to the general SQL query structure while I was buying some shares in over 500 blogs under Randy Sell folder. Because of what happened, I stayed away from buying shares and dedicated my time instead reviewing and reindexing blogs.

Monday, May 08, 2006

Randy and I were busy in the morning voting dead blogs to remove them off our portfolios when I received an urgent message from our counsel. My Affidavit should be signed at 3 pm today.

While waiting, I reindexed some blogs. Both Randy and I had fun buying ideas produced by industries after blogs were reindexed. The only thing we watched on TV (via Yahoo webcam and Skype) was Deal or No Deal. I was lazy to leave but, no one will do the signing in my behalf, as I have to do it myself.

Pearl accompanied me when I signed my Affidavit this afternoon. I was told it will be submitted prior to the scheduled Case I PRE-TRIAL Conference on Wednesday. Then, we did some grocery shopping first before going home. The boys were not around and we're forced to carry the goods upstairs. I still have a little knee sore and avoid lifting heavy things as much as possible to avoid further pains.

Anyway, I had an afternoon nap as soon as we arrived home. I had sleepless nights lately maybe because I was feeling bad about the previous lousy men in my life and also I worry a lot what stupidity EX will do on the scheduled PRE-TRIAL on May 10.

Sunday, May 07, 2006

I missed the early morning mass. I stayed up late clearing my Blogshares portfolio and exchanging blogs with Randy.

To keep blogs' shares down, I had to buy whatever Randy sells and after 6 hours, I can sell them back to him. But due to time differences and availability. we can do it only during weekend. On weekdays, we should be both online because he's working and does not have time to do the trading in the morning on his side.

Anyway, Mama and I attended the special 5:00 o'clock mass in a nearby Chapel. The theme was the Cross: The Way to Follow Jesus. The chapel was not as crowded as in morning mass. Maybe not too many people know that there's a special afternoon mass held today. FR. Raul Buen, a Filipino priest, said the mass. There's procession after the mass but, I had to do some grocery shopping with the kids. They closed the street and we walked a little bit to get a cab. The carousel carrying the statue of Mama Mary was approaching the church accompanied by a band while playing their musical instruments. I didn't see what happened next because we got a cab and left.

In Cyberzone, I paid Smart bill, and then went to Abenson to follow Junjun and Tintin. I was already inside the store when my right sandal's buckle gave up. It was embarassing to sit down with a broken sandal's strap. Junjun and Tintin had difficulty choosing the sandals that will fit me. Pearl forgot her cellphone and cannot find me so she went home instead. After 45 minutes of waiting, Junjun got me a new pair of brown sandals but I cancelled the shopping. I didn't like brown sandals and it was a bit smaller for me.

On our way home, the procession passed us. Near the building where we live, some Barangay tanod didn't allow us to enter the area they blocked for the Feast celebration. I got off from the cab and blah blah blah to them. They let us pass while the rest of the cars rerouted. My alibi? I had sore feet from my new sandals and I couldn't walk any further...

We had a better view of the feast celebration from the balcony. They fired up series of firecrackers. I didn't watch the rest of the program because Randy is already online...

HAPPY FEAST DAY!

Saturday, May 06, 2006

Now that Randy is actively trading stocks in Blogshares again, I was motivated to do the clearing of blogs off my folder. Unfortunately, I just couldn't sell shares I held without reindexing those blogs which I purchased way back in 2004! Most of them were dead blogs.

We're too damn busy to watch TV shows other than Deal or No Deal. Both Randy and I gained some sigma points when we reported dead or spam blogs. He then ranks 21st while I am the top 3 player in Blogshares' Overall Composite Score. We're not the top wealthiest players now and I still do not understand how they do the scoring other than they noted that players are ranked in each category, and awarded points based on the formula: points = 101 - $rank.

Thursday, May 04, 2006

As usual, I had oatmeal for breakfast and Randy had Lasagna after we recited the rosary.

We did some Neopets and Blogshares update until we run Yahoo webcam. We watched House's Euphoria, part 2, Dr. Foreman faces death and they put him in a coma to ease the pain. Dr. House discovered contaminated water outside patient's home (who earlier died of unknown disease) as the source of the infection. It wasn't clear what happened with Foreman as he's still paralyzed when the episode ended. Well, we watched Criminal Minds and Law and Order, too, before watching NBC's late night evening news.

When Randy logged out, I received a text message from Atty. R. Case II Hearing Schedule is on May 22nd at 2:40 pm for Collusion Investigation.

In the evening as I was watching the GMA 7's 24 Oras evening news, I heard that three separate fires damaged properties in Metro Manila today. That reminds me about my discussion with Randy before he went to bed, we were discussing about Mina (a.k.a. Shelly), a well-loved index manager in BlogShares. In her blog, a friend noted that, "In the early morning hours of Sunday, April 30th, a massive fire broke out in the family home. Her sons were not in the home, as they were visiting their father. Shelly was home alone, asleep at the time."

We posted earlier a candle in Sage's Mission: Mina where I made a mistake posting my BS profile under that mission. Gladly, Island Dave was online and he removed immediately my profile off the mission page. It was embarassing though but, I had too many windows and tabs open that time and I got distracted which form I pasted my profile. Anyway, I hope Shelley will overcome the difficulties and trials she's having lately... may God bless us all!

So far, am happy that the three cases I filed last February will have it's respective hearings scheduled this month.

Today is the Ides of March and I'd like to take this opportunity to inform the regular readers of this blog that my online game buddy and best friend, Randy, is my man and soul mate too!

Randy and I met each other on March 1st 2004 in an unusual dispute over stocks in BlogShares Fantasy Stock Market. This kind-hearted man impressed me with his gaming strategies until we played as a team not only in BlogShares but, also in Neopets! We've done many things together as a team like being the top 5 BlogShares Richest players in 2005, held successful eBay auctions, supported Save-A-Child charity, made some million neopoints from Neopets' World Challenge games, NeoStocks, Neoquests, Plushie Tycoon and Black Pawkeet slots. Lately, when his wife filed a divorce in August 2005, he slowed down from playing our favorite games and even was hospitalized last year from overdose. That time, I was preparing myself to work abroad and renewed my passport. When his wife decided to spend the Christmas somewhere else, we decided to meet in person to celebrate 2005 Christmas before I leave the country for work! And that's how we turned as lovers and prefer to go further as soul mates now that he's a free man from his previous marriage. He didn't like me to work abroad and he wanted instead to correct the mess in my life from previous relationships. While it's amazing that married women in the USA profited from their divorces by getting half of their men's networth, the women in my country normally get nothing but misery and burden of supporting kids. Anyway, Randy is my best friend and hopefully, the best man in my life, too!

And since we met in BlogShares, we held a mission to express our appreciation to BlogShares Community and we want this to be a very remarkable day in BlogShares history by awarding these BS Mission #788's prizes to:

• Peach
• Joe White
• Joe Elam

Thank you for your BS Mission #788 participation and looking forward to future missions Randy and I will offer. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any suggestions.

Congratulations to the winners! And, more power to Island Dave for supporting this mission!

Today I had a brief History Quiz on Beware The Ides Of March! The answers are here but, you won't see them if you don't look very closely...

1. Today is commonly known as the the Ides of March. Who first warned us about this day? Answer: William Shakespeare
2. What important event used to take place in the U.S. on March 15th? Answer: Income Tax Deadline
3. Traditionally, residents of Hinckley, Ohio always know when it's March 15th because these birds return: Answer: Buzzards
4. In 44 B.C., this Roman emperor had an attempt made on his life: Answer: Julius Caesar
5. In 1945, "Billboard" began listing the #1 album on its charts. What artist got the first top ranking? Answer: Nat King Cole
6. In 1937, the first of these was established, in Chicago. Answer: Blood bank

From dictionary.com newsletter: Word of the Day for Wednesday March 15, 2006: Ides \YDZ\, plural noun: In the ancient Roman calendar the fifteenth day of March, May, July, and October, and the thirteenth day of the other months. Ides comes from Latin idus, probably from an Etruscan word meaning "division" of a month.

Wow! I hit B$ 1 Trillion networth after BlogShares Fantasy Stock Market had a Black Friday incident in November 2005: From the hard earned B$ 2.499 Quadrillion networth, it was devalued at B$ 249 billion!

Thursday, March 02, 2006

We understood that many among BlogShares players want to join our BS contest but, didn't know well what to do. Randy explained it on his blog and you can visit archived BlogShares category in my blog, too, to get more idea.

Randy and I used to be on the top 5 Richest BS players before the November 2005 devaluation of all players holdings. Your entry should contain previous game play we made (since two years ago) as well as how we ranked, the addiction we dedicated to the game, the auctions that benefitted me, and the cooperative game strategies that made me one of the BS Elites, based on Mars' recommendation!

May the above tips guide you through. Good luck!!!

Randy and I attended the BlogShares Math Summit to be updated on what's going on with the said online game we had been addicted to play for about two years now!

I am still hopeful the BlogShares Game Commissioners will do some coding that will make Blogshares be an interesting online game again. After the November 7 2005 market crash, two years of game play had been devalued from 2.499 Quadrillion down to 249 billion networth. What I did recently in the game was collecting artefacts only and reading forum messages.

Anyway, this is the transcript of our mIRC summit. Enjoy!

Saturday, November 26, 2005

As I woke up this morning, shocking BlogShares News made me fully awake!

All players' holdings and cash balances were devalued by 1/10,000 ratio in an attempt to balance the market. See inluential BS players' comments!

My networth yesterday was B$ 2.49 Quadrillion and it went down to B$ 249 Billion after BlogShares Game crashes! I had over B$ 200 Billion Networth on the first two months of playing the said fantasy stock market. Barely two years of my efforts playing BlogShares had been reset overnight. However, new players will be given more opportunity to catch up with old time players because stocks and ideas prices are more affordable now than it was 20 hours ago!

I survived last year's crash and BLOGSHARES remain my favorite game in spite of it's major crash!

A Forum Admin believes 18000 chips was a borderline extortion against my initiative when I upgraded player 27964's account to BLOGSHARES PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP and paid US$15.00 through PnP's Paypal account. I advised 27964 to pay 18000 chips to PnP (after 30 days) which is currently valued at B$450B at B$25M per chip exchange rate and has eBay auction value of less than US$3.00. To my surprise, 27964 refused to accept to 'work off 18000 chips' and many find an opportunity to make things worse instead of educating the newbie that it was the usual on-going rate to help a newbie have a premium account.

The worst, I was humiliated once again in the IRC. I want nothing from player 27964. If he wants to pay 18000 chips to PnP or not, we could have given the membership for free but, not to such an ungrateful soul. Anyway, many thanks to Jay, the BlogShares owner, for extending my premium account until 11 March 2007 and to Just James in protecting my interest.

I was just wondering why do some people cannot appreciate the spirit of kindness and generosity?

The month of November was a very remarkable experience since I started playing BlogShares Fantasy Stock Market on 31 Dec 2003. Most of us were actually surprised with the generosity of Alvino for bidding a total of US$802.56 and winning B$ 15 Trillion in the recently held eBay auction on November 22nd.

Meanwhile, many thanks to my BS Forum critics. I considered their criticism a challenge to play more aggressively. So, here is my November Portfolio:

We barely finish the second week of November but some BlogShares players are now speculating and asking who will be the number one richest player by the end of this month. Will it be Mars or Laila* (that's me)???

The forum message thread started yesterday by Fireblazt under Playground, entitled "number 1 next month"... Raymond thinks it will be Mars, which was supported by Tom's assessment.

As far as I know, Mars will be able to keep the top 1 position. Who wants to guess?

Temporarily removed upon receiving James' comments...

October wasn't a good month when it comes to communication with fellow BS players. It made me feel real bad when few players abused industry voting rights either with the use of a bot or indiscrimately made blind voting to collect karma and chips. Although I formally made my complaint, it appeared I was just a laughing stock for democratically airing my observation. And because I feel there's discrimination in the forum, I avoided the forum and dedicated instead most of my time trading. It helps, though, because I am now at rank 2. MLT, who was at rank 2 last month, was too kind to offer me 20T from his holdings since he's not playing like he used to but, I told him to keep his B$ until he will find time again to play like before...

So here is the summary of my portfolio for the month of October 2004:

Through Macky's (top 1 richest player) recommendations, I was added on the 23rd of October to the noteworthy personalities on BlogShares' Who's Who, being third player on BS Elite list. And, by the way, congratulations to my dear buddy, Randy a.k.a RWO, for being at top 4 on Richest 100 Players List.

Alan Dean of Math Team provided interesting graphs of top players' TRADING patterns prior to BSEC Case 42 Deliberation involving Stan Dandyliver.

Whether or not Stan Dandyliver is guilty of the charges relating to Abuse of system in contravention of [BSEC Rule XIV] Scripts and Bots, I was happy to see my transaction history in a graph. And, the way I analyze the graphs, looks like I traded ideas faster than Raymond, who posted in the forum: "One every three seconds eh? I could maybe give you some pointers on how to speed that up?"
