You won’t had have believed me if I said it.

Hey guys, sorry for the long wait. Work and CABAL pretty much makes a blogger inactive.

Well, yesterday I finally got the EXTREMELY HARD TO GET NINTENDO WII!! Turns out that Costco had THREE in stock in the Etobicoke and Queensway store. So if you live in that area and don’t have a Wii, GET THEM NOW BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DOES!!

Proof of teh wii

If I had the original Receipt, I would had taken that too, but unfortunately I don’t have it on me.

I’m now a lv 88 Force Shielder in Transcender Sword and Completer Magic. Not long till dual Transcender. However I’ve been slacking because i’ve started watching Tsubasa – Reservoir Chronicle and the guild is slowly becoming inactive. Currently at Episode 10 and I’m already liking it.

And the final pic. The CompTIA A+ certification Certificate

Passed A+ 220-602 IT Technician (A+ exams complete) and…

Yey, now to wait for the Certification to arrive (4-6 weeks time)

Plus, this came today.

Which has..

Yey, the Mabinogi OST that was shipped a week ago!

Contents.

Do you think I should put the ripped MP3s on my Filefront?

CABAL NA:

I’m now lv 57 Expert Sword Master Magic. Still mass skill grinding my ass off. Not playing for two weeks = So not bored.

I got a G5 Mouse :D

Today I finally got rid of my final crappy computer periphreal, my old Microsoft optical mouse which I used for nearly three years and replaced it a G5 Laser gaming mouse. The mouse only cost me $35.50 CAD before taxes and $40.12 CAD after. I believe this was a steal price because I see many others at nearly double the price. Oh I also got a cell phone, but too lazy to take pictures of that. Its just a Sony Ericcson w810i anyways.

Heres a few pics

I’m still playing CABAL, even though I work on weekdays and I have only several hours of wake up time before I go to sleep.

Oh and heres the answers for the last entry

and today, with daylight.


Note: The attached houses are not even two decades old. Those houses were built when an old warehouse was torn down, way way way back in 1994.

Yet another day at work.

Another busy day at work. We had plenty of IT requests today and I solved some of the employee’s problems, and teaching them some tips that they never even heard yet.

The supervisor really likes me and he thinks that I will be definitely staying after the internship and be a permanent employee of the company, until I get more than enough experience.

I will do my A+ certification exams on March 8th for 220-601, and March 15th for 220-602.

Now PICTURE time!!!
Spot the differences

Can you spot the differences?

Playtime cut to Weekends and evenings now

Starting Monday, I will be working at my new full time job as a Computer Help Desk Support at some major Marketing company.
I am very excited that I got hired for this position because this is a first stepping stone into my future career as a Computer Technician.

About Mabinogi
Mabinogi NA is fun but it lacks a ton of content probably because its only Closed Beta. At Open Beta I wonder what they will have.

Plus I got my character in jCABAL to Dual Completer. However, it will be harder to get it to dual trans due to my dramatically decreased playtime.
CABAL NA is slated to come into Open Beta today too.

I am almost finished studying my A+ Certification book too so I will take the exam soon. If I pass, i’ll make a post on it.
But for now, take care of yourself everyone. You will need to work full time someday too!

A+ Certification study status

I’m up to Chapter 8 now which talks about Power Supplies. I’m going to try finishing the chapter today and read the next few chapters tomorrow. I’m planning to do the practice tests once I finish reading the entire book then restudy the parts that I have a little difficulty on.

Heres pictures of the actual book using my digital camera

And the book opened with my objectives papers to the left and right.

A+ Certification requires you to take two tests. The first test is mandatory and its called Essentials exam 220-601. The other exam, you can can pick from 220-602 (IT Technician), 220-603 (Remote Support Technician), or 220-604(Depot Technician). Since most people take the primary path of 220-602 (IT Technician) I did so as well.

Maple

Tomorrow, I will be on Maple all day. However most of the time AFK studying from my A+ Certification book. I will only be active when a Skelegon PT smega pops up.
Saturday however, I’m going to try and take a 1 day break from studying and train a lot.

Bonus pic:

Taken from the same position, but at night time. It sure is dark, and you can only see 1/2 the CN tower due to cloud cover.

Time to focus on life.

From here on in, I will only be on certain hours of the day. I will still reset my elf vend everyday but you might see a delay in giving the money to you.

The reason why is that I bought my A+ Certification book today which I will focus nearly 90% of my time on. A+ Certification is extremely important if I want to ever get a decent computer job. I know theres other certifications out there but most computer jobs need A+ certification.

Before I bought this book, I did a practice exam online and got a passing mark, but it was a barely pass, so I quickly figured that I would need to buy the book for sure.

I’ve only read three of the chapters so far (I’m reading up and studying on microprocessors now) and this is probably the first time I have never been bored studying, probably because i’m so into computers and its giving me lots of knowledge. The book even contains a CD that contains practice tests and some recommended software that the book author recommends!

I will still come on to play a bit during my 2x exp period, but I cannot guarantee me reaching 160 now because real life > MapleStory in all ways.

For the people also into computers and want to get A+ Certification, I am studying from this book: A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Sixth Edition. Most of the reviews of this book came out positive and they passed the A+ exam with “flying colours”. Hopefully it will be the same for me.

Sunny! Lv 155きた~ Jakum/Pap on the same day :D

I felt like taking another picture outside of my house so I took this. Its sunny, but the temperature is at a looow -7 degrees celcius.

Maple

Great day today. Only took me 2 minutes to get the VPN I wanted. First off I went to Head Ninjas since there was no smegas for Skelegon. I gained a bit of experience and a few drops. However no ilbis =(.

Way later on, a Smega for Skelegon finally came up. The person that was shouting was the same person that I had yesterday for Skelegon. I trained like hell there and got up to 83.11%. He had to leave so I left too. With no more Skelegon parties, I went fishing sitting next to Remi, who was AFK.

When I was out of Lure, I was bored waiting for a Skelegon party. Thinking that levelling was a bit hopeless today, I went back to Head Ninjas and surprisingly found an empty map. I gained a bit more experence then FINALLY a Skelegon PT Smega came up so I pm’d the shouter and I was accepted. I went all out and later…

Ding 155! Added three to Holy Shield. I went on until 8pm then prepared for Jakum.
