Sorry for the Hiatus, Again!

Gosh, it's been a while since I published anyway. As for the apartment friends thing, it's clear I'm not pushing with it due to a lot of complications. Also, my school vacation is extended, due to my new school opening in July. I got a lot of catching up to do. So yeah...

Sims 3 special: Building Lots in Empty Lots in Built Custom Made Worlds

I was checking the Internet lately for the Sims 3 for a new story idea. I won't spoil any surprises but, the story is that 4 different persons from an old doll line, a Canadian cartoon show that spoofs Survivor and other reality shows, a well-known Filipino piece of literature made by Jose Rizal (also a Thomasian though for four years in med school) and real history (#alternative_universe; well, one of them is dead, no joke!) are made into each other's roommates in a converted house turned apartment complex in a TS3 world & this story basically follows their lives and the people around.

Now I went on a custom world shopping online and found some worlds that could help out in the story line, but some of them were in need of store content, some needed some eps and stuff packs I know that I didn't need to get, some have custom content (I had some bad experience before in the Sims 2 in a vain attempt to do an Asylum Challenge & that CC's made the game harder than I thought it would be), while others were all of the above. But fear not, there are also worlds that wouldn't need that much stuff. I found some & one was Storybrook County (no, not that Storybrook from Once Upon a Time!) from My Sim Realty (another one was Anne Arbor, also from the same website). I was concerned about downloading some lots that may need some stuff from the things that I mentioned, but I did went to ask the person in charge in the website's official Facebook page and the conversation went like this:

Me: Hi. I would like to ask if it is okay that I can make my own lots on the blank lots in Storybrook County Version 3? I don't have any of the things that require store content or even Into the Fututre since I'm not interested in getting it so far?
Any advise will do.

My Sim Reality: 
Of course - do you mean build in the blank version?

Me: No, I mean the left-out blanks in any updated versions of Storybrook. Which may need certain eps and store stuff to make certain 'new' lots to work properly. I don't have Into the Future and some store stuff, because I'm just wondering if I can make my own lots in the blank lot.

My Sim Realty: Like within the built world you are wondering if you can build on the empty lots?

Me: 
Yes. That's what I'm asking about.

My Sim Realty: Oh of course!! You can change it anyway you see fit!!

Me: Okay thanks. I was actually thinking of making a story series in the Sims 3 that involves 4 strangers in an EA or custom world living in one space (e.g. apartment).


I didn't want to hurt this person's feelings should I download this world & some lots that can be compatible with what I have and then start changing the blank lots myself. But it turns out, she doesn't mind: she's fine with it if a person downloads a world then spruce it up a bit to what they see fit. In fact, there are some versions of this world that you can get if ever you don't have the enough stuff to get the latest version of it.

I hope this article will help you out in making the right decisions in getting the custom world/s you want to get, apparently, most of them are a lot better than some of the store worlds provided by EA, tee hee hee...

Sorry for the Hiatus!

Hey guys. No time no blogging.

The reason why I didn't blog for almost a month is that I had my finals last month and it was the most nerve-wrecking exams I had so far. But the efforts weren't futile, I passed with high grades (Computer is the lowest since I can't comprehend advance computer stuff, my grade for Philippine Literature in English was the same as the one I got for Philippine Literature in 1st year, both of the 2 latter subjects were handled by the same prof.) and still Dean's List potential which I wasn't planning on doing since 3 years ago.

Anyway, for the people have read my Scooby Doo and Power Rangers crossover story, I apologized for not updating it yet, but I'm on it. Someone had bugged me in a private message on FanFiction.Net on a lot of questions for the series. I might as well expand the the explanation why time stops whenever someone goes a time travel adventure, a la Narnia style. After finishing the story, I'm taking a break from the series before doing the sequel which sets in the winter snowboarding competition in New England USA, the time of release will probably depend on when school starts for me (ASEAN just ruined my birthday in advance with the economical integration by next year, and my school UST went crazy-prepared by setting school opening by July 14, just 7 days before my birthday, meaning I'll start school during what was supposed to the rainy season in my country).

In the meantime, just hang in there for more posts to come.

Watch Out! Cartoon Crushes May Indicate How Reality Dumb Pooh's Adventurers Can Be.

Having cartoon crushes is just as normal as having crushes on friends, athletes, celebrities or even, gulp!, politicians (one of my college professors admitted his mom named him after Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos 'cuz she has crush on him, yikes!). But if taken to an extreme, it's bad for one's social life and even chances to get a real-life boyfriend, girlfriend, lover, live-in partner or future spouse!

Let me give you an example: there is a Canadian guy who happens to be a YouTuber named Reese Ambler. He may look like a normal person and have interests like everyone. But hold on to your horses! He has a problem: he has an extreme crush on Abigail 'Numbah 5' Lincoln from Codename: Kids Next Door! Goodness, I thought she got digs on Numbah 2 though and was said to have married him to start with. Plus, he's even a part of the most horrible thing known to multi-fandom crossovers: Pooh's Adventures! Gosh, they are filled with characters from random media not helping in the story of one film/show/etc., just watching and reacting.

This indicates how horrible Reese reacts to the world. Even to people more level-headed than he is, regardless to age, nationality, gender, sexuality, etc. Poor Reese acts like a 5 year old wanting attention. Yes, I can be this at times, but not on an extreme level! He even posted some BMSD footage on YouTube. Around between last year and this year, he dumped Numbah 5 for Family Guy's Meg Griffin, also another victim of extreme cartoon crushing. For a while, KND fans were relieved. Then he dumped Meg for Numbah Five again, making her an indirect victim of women's and children's rights violation. Child Marriage of a cartoon/film/TV show/book/etc. character to a real-life person sounds horrible, right? What? Don't you believe me? Here's some proof! He even blocks people from his YouTube accounts, accusing them for 'bad words' and bad mouthing as well for the accusations of him being a cartoon pedophile, where in reality, they're right about his current mental, social, emotional and psychological states. He's just like Justin Bebier (who I hate a lot more personally), only in the 'Net!

It also appears that Numbah 5 is not the only victim of this phenomena. Someone named Trainboy even has this thing for Phenias and Ferb's Isabella Garcia-Sharpiro! This phenomena is what Pooh's Adventurers haters called Waifus. Japanese slang word, isn't it?

In fact, this phenomena makes me so worried that I started to block him in Tumblr, YouTube, and even Google+. I even made visits to Heck No Pooh's Adventures and Hell No, Reese Ambler for more information on Pooh's Adventures and Reese's life so far.

This is what I posted in the Hell No, Reese Ambler Ask/Complain portion and the response of the moderator on Tumblr (mariposalass is my Tumblr Username, plus FFNet, & The Sims 3 Website username and this blog's name):

Reese needs to get a life. He should grow up soon or later & get a real-life girlfriend, not marrying a young cartoon girl like poor Numbah 5 or all hell is loose. Oh, God, save us from this fiend & his cronies from destroying all that is good of multi-fandom crossovers... I had to block his two channels as a preventive measure so he won't block me. The Justin Beiber of Pooh's Adventures.
Yes. Even I ship myself with some cartoons and even some real people, but I know damn well we will never get together in real life and that I am still a virgin.

Trust me, this phenomena has to stop. If you know someone who has this strange thing for fictional characters and acts like a misbehaved child, help them as soon as possible, or you'll get a hissy Reese Ambler in your household. If you're like him, please, fictional characters are for our entertainment, not for our sexual pleasures! This Waifu phenomena can be a sign that you can't adapt well to reality. I'm hoping no one will suffer the same fate & future as Reese.

Update: School Edition

Sorry about the long break. School occupied a big chuck of my attention lately, which included a pilgrimage to Manaog, Pagasinan. But I'll try to write up something for a while. 

Lately also, I got a lot of stuff going as a Literature student in UST. There's no classes this Tuesday, this Wednesday has a round table discussion, faculty retreat from Thrusday to Friday, Literature Week next week as well as my school trip to Ilocos province Friday to Monday (it's really an overnight trip but we'll have two days on the bus since Ilocos is in the northern part of the Philippines, doing tasks in catering for the Seniors' Thesis Defense a week after, which has cancelled one Saturday class on Feb 15, plus doing some academic requirements for my soon-to-be thesis which has to do with World War 2-torn Philippine (specifically, Manila) through children's eyes. And there's the college week for my college soon, celebrating the 50th anniversary of merging of the current Facutly of Arts and Letters on February too. Phew!

Yes, life can be hard for college student. But then, that's college life!

My Reaction to the SecretSauce Ads Popping Up in My Browser

Recently, I found these strange ad pop-ups from something called SecretSauce. These claim some sites I would go to aren't to be trusted (which is false, seriously, I have no idea why!). I often get around 1-3 pop-ups every time I go online. Who would want that in the Internet? This isn't intended to be a rant, but I just want to point out what I don't like about this strange thing that is driving me insane. I don't really trust these set of pop-ups, they're like junk e-mails...

My reaction: Really annoyed to the bone, no kidding!
