DOTA Weekend: MF vs. FT

September 23, 2006. Naka-sick leave si cb at pututoy. Si blitz naman ay nasa New York, umatend ng InterOp. Kaya si radars and kumompleto sa lineup namin.

Ang Master Feeders (MF) ay may 2-1 win-loss card. Talo kase kame ng Housemates.GEN pero bumawi naman kame versus Konoha Leavers at Master Betas nung isang lingo. Ang Flaming Throne (FT) naman ay wala pang panalo. Tinapos ng Housemates ang laban nila with Flaming Throne last week in 26 minutes (mahangin talaga ang Housemates :-D j.k.).

Panalo sa toss-coin ang Flaming Throne kaya sila ang pipili kung Sentinels or Scourge ang gagamitin nila. Nung una sabi nila mag Sentinel daw sila pero nung may AV na nag-comment na "Ano (comment directed to MF Team) Scourge na naman kayo???” nagbago ang isip ng Flaming Throne kaya Scourge na lang daw sila.

Lineup ng Master Feeder:
elmo = Treant
adicto = Silencer
3nigm4 = Jakiro
radars = Rylai (CM)
makonat = Rhasta

Lineup ng Flaming Throne: (nde ko kabisado, pero pag nakuha ko na replays ke Orobos, edit ko itong blog.)

Early game: mid ako (Rhasta) kasama si Silencer. After some minutes na-First blood si Jakiro, at nasundan pa ito ng isang death ni Rylai :-( . Medyo mapusok kase sila Jakiro at Rylai, tapos medyo nde pa kabisado ni Radars yung teamplay ng MF since ito yung first game nya sa tournament.

Early game eh lamang sa kills ang FT. Pero humabol ang MF sa mid-game. Nung una medyo kinabahan ako kase over-confident yata yung team. Pero nung sama-sama na kaming lima sa isang lane, OK ang push namin. Ang maiwan sa FT ay malamang GB na, madalas ay ma-frostbite ni Rylai or ma-shackles ni Rhasta, then focus fire na yung ng grupo :-) .

Our mid-game push was not matched by FT. Part of the strategy of MF: hindi maging masyadong mapusok. Kase hawak naman namin ang oras saka lamang kame sa push ng towers. We made 1 final push before the 60th minute mark. Coordinated ang pagcast ng Mekansm, at natapos ang laro bago mag-isang oras.

GG. The FT guys shook hands with the MF.

3-1 na ang win-loss card ng MF. Advance yata kame sa semis.
Good game guys at good luck sa mga susunod pang games...

Bakit nga ba Pooms?

I don't recall how "Pooms" became Mika's nickname. Pero cute naman di ba? Tapos naging Poomers! POOOOMMEEERS!

Ang natatandaan ko lang ay nung naglalaro pa kame ng Pokemon gameboy emulator sa PC ay pinangalan nating "Pooms" yung isang pokemon na isa sa mga unang nahuli natin (I don't exactly recall kung Pidgey/Pidgeotto yun or Spearow yun, basta sure ako na ibon yun). Don't worry we named charmander as Baroye. At alam ko na meron din nakapangalan na Pokemon para kay Yamskee at Ujinn.

I also recall that when you were still attending nursery school back here in Sta. Mesa, you were chosen as Miss Spain during one of the United Nation's day. Your dialog goes like "... Viva España!" and we will jokingly alter it to "Viva España, Tayuman, Lardizabal!!!" har-har-har!

How I really miss you birthday girl Pooms!!! Stay sweet and makulit ha! Hope makauwi ulet kayo Pinas in the near future. Or makapunta kame dyan (with tita Maui of course) sa Glasgow!

Take care and God Bless!

Pooms Day

This birthday greetz goes to one of my favorite pamangkins! Happy Birthday Mika Poomers! Always be a good girl ha! Offline ka sa YM kaya dito na lang kita greet sa blogspace ni Char. Take care and regards ke Daddy, Mommy at Louie.

del_yahoogroup

Yesterday, I deleted the poweroverwhelming yahoogroups I created last year. 14 months. 25 members. Reason for deletion with yahoogroups: inactive group. No regrets. I'm happy with my decision.

Chartotem Blog History

When it did officially started?
- Registered to blogger.com on September 11, 2006. Want to make the registration day memorable, so 9/11.
Why Blog?
-Was influenced by my mascian batchmates. Will post their blog links here in the future
-Finished a cool book recently and the author sort of encouraged me to write something, hence Chartotem's Blog materialized
Why Chartotem?
-Pronounced as chahr-toh-tuhm
-Derived it from Charmander, Pokemon (#004), and totem from Blizzard's Warcraft game
-Previously it was just a nickname used in Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne skirmishes and multiplayer games (e.g. DOTA), but later on I decided that is was a "Hot" name for a blog
-By definition: char means to burn, to scorch. It is definitely related to fire. Totem means an object or an animate being, assumed as the emblem of a clan. It watches over, assists and guides the clan.
So maybe this blog will discuss "hot topics" on my mind, as well as guide and assist me (and the readers as well) in the future
But for now I will settle that Chartotem’s Blog will be my some sort of diary, will host my personal thoughts, and just be my Chartotem’s Blog.

Well, I think that’s all for my first post. Wish me luck guys n gals! And welcome to Chartotem’s Blog...
