Roxanne Guinoo, White Castle Whiskey's New Hottie

I know very little of this young lady. But as with most, I started taking notice when she appeared in a billboard ad along Edsa sporting a red bikini that only accentuated sweet curves. The ad is for White Castle whisky and as of this writing, I'm also waiting for the customary horse ride along some beach.

There's an article about it in the GMANews.TV site. If you ask me, it's about time ^_^

BBL River Rats - Irusk vs Kreoss
2007 January 18

I played my last BBL game last night at Hobby Haven. It was using the River Rats scenario and my opponent was Romy Estrella. Here's his Menoth wargroup composition:

- Kreoss
- Guardian
- Crusader
- Revenger
- Devout
- Knights Exemplar



With precise sniping, my Widowmakers and Eiryss managed to cripple his Guardian very early in the game while Kommandant Irusk held back the Menite surge with well placed Inhospitable Ground.

I gambled my IFP (Iron Fang Pikemen) in the middle shallows so as to tie up his warjacks. With Battle Lust, my IFP did considerable damage before they were destroyed. As with my recent game, Irusk's Undying Loyalty was also ineffective this time around.



Romy made the mistake of putting his Devout too far from Kreoss, and as such, I took the opportunity and shot at the Menite warcaster with a disruptor bolt from Eiryss. Later on, with no focus, and no other warjacks, Kreoss was finished by a Battle Lusted charge from a Manhunter.

Having decimated his whole force, I got full victory points for holding all three objectives.

Looking back, the scenario was an uphill challenge for Romy's Menoth wargroup. Not only did he have to deal with being outnumbered, he had to manage controlling the river fords AND Irusk's Inhospitable Ground. If Romy had more infantry like he said, the outcome would have been different.

- Scenario: River Rats (Romy 3vp, Me 31vp)
- Result: Victory for Kommandant Irusk

BBL Winding Down

Just updating my league results:

Raymund Tesoro (Vayl, Disciple of Everblight)
- First time to play against him in all my 6 years of having known this dude!
- Got lucky with a Seraph failing its test, going berserk and rampaging towards me
- Failed to catch Vayl and her other Seraph bodyguard, which broke the Spriggan with some fancy shooting
- Brought down Carnivean with Battle Lust on IFP
- Scenario: Dust Bowl (Raymund 25vp, Me 18vp)
- Result: LOSS for Kommandant Irusk

Jake de Jesus (Major Brisbane, Cygnar)
- Jake caught me off-guard by playing a static Brisbane who was flinging stationary shots left and right with Explosivo!
- Succeeded in surgically dismantling his warjacks with Battle Lusted troops
- Caught Brisbane in a headbutt power move followed by a finishing charge from Irusk
- Scenario: Smash, Grab and Smash Again (Jake 0vp, Me 27vp)
- Result: Victory for Kommandant Irusk

Paul Borja (Ashlynn d'Elysse, Highborn Covenant Mercenaries)
- Bogged down Paul's advance with Inhospitable Ground and Shield-walling IFP
- Managed to kill Ashlynn early, but still had to deal with Alexia and her mob of Risen
- Irusk got to charge into melee again, got to bring down Ashlynn and Alexia this game
- Scenario: Gear Grinder (Paul 7vp, Me 25vp)
- Result: Victory for Kommandant Irusk

Laurence Tan (Kommander Sorscha, Khador)
- Played my gamble by sniping off his Mortar teams with my Widowmakers which were out in the open
- Made a grave mistake by dropping Undying Loyalty too early
- Managed to kill several key models but was not enough (I should have taken on his IFP first)
- Scenario: Scrapheap Challenge (Laurence 23vp, Me 4vp)
- Result: Loss for Kommandant Irusk

Fred Escalona (Iron Lich Asphyxious, Cryx)
- Held off his Bane charge with Inhospitable Ground
- Fred's game is improving, as he had good defense with his units (no easy pickings for any of my units)
- Undying Loyalty was rendered useless with tremendously horrible dice rolls
- In the end, no clear win was decided; and got boiled down to victory points instead
- Scenario: Forced Recon (Fred 10vp, Me 13vp)
- Result: Victory for Kommandant Irusk

Ronald Benedicto (Archdomina Makeda, Skorne)
- Played the game at bloody 1AM!
- Head was mush, forgot to use Undying Loyalty
- Took the central stones early, spamming Inhospitable Ground and Airburst
- Destroyed both units of Praetorians and solo Totem Hunter early
- I think Ronald was waiting for me to get into the 8-inch drag range of the Acuarii for a ready counter-charge from his Titan (must find some way to eliminate that)
- In the end, Ronald was baiting me to finish off his remaining models but I chose not to put my remaining models in a compromised position
- Scenario: Stones of Power (Ronald 3vp, Me 5vp)
- Result: Victory for Kommandant Irusk

[PAINTING] Painted one Winterguard last night. Came out nice, too ^_^ One model at a time; slowly but surely.

BBL Report

As the year rolled in, my performance in the WARMACHINE Brass Balls League has been mediocre. To the credit of my opponents, their game was ace. And as I have given my best at my games, I have little regret except that I should have played more.

[PAINTING] I got to finish my Spriggan and IFP standard bearer. I'll be painting up the MOWDC Kapitan next in time for my next BBL game.

Happy New Year

Happy new year, everyone. First day of 2007, first post on KB. And yeah, I greeted this year by working at the office. But it's all good as the relaunch pushed through. Check out the new look of our site here. I rushed making that Flash movie there (The Year That Was In Pictures). There's a link there that's supposed to pop up the Flashie. Yeah, as we say mainit-init pa yan LOL!

I haven't got to greeting all those who greeted me this past Christmas and New Year. I'll be calling y'all soon ^_^

I think I'll start to guzzle down coffee. I can feel the lethargy every time I wake up try to wake up in the morning! Coffee boost is needed. I'll need to buy me one of those airpots that can be plugged in to heat water. I wonder how much those cost? I'll just check out some mall later.

I was also thinking of buying one of those corner lamps for my poor room. And a nice extension cord set.

Yeah, looks like I'll be going to a mall later. I hope they're all open though LOL!

[WARMACHINE] Lost my first game against Raymund's Vayl. 98% finished painting the Spriggan (flock and varnish to go). Started painting IFP standard bearer.

2007

Looks like another year's about to come to an end. 2006 has been a very good year for me. I've been blessed with many new friends, had many nice games, improved on my painting and achieved some dreams.

Things are looking better at home. At least superficially. I don't know if things will ever be ironed out there, but I hope they do. Years have swept all the anger and hate under the proverbial rug evidently. Well, to them at least. I guess what transpired years ago left an indelible mark on me (yeah it's been a years old grudge), but I have always carried myself with civility around the whole thing. I do wish they don't sell off the house. But I guess I should be looking for alternatives in case they do.

Work is definitely rewarding. That Webby Award the team got inspired me a great deal! All I need to do is wait for the folks to get back to Brisbane and I can settle in back to my work mode ^_^ (Don't get me wrong, I enjoy coming home from work to my folks at home; kinda weird though since I'm known to spend days at a time at the office LOL).

WARMACHINE Philippines has been on a steady growth. I'll be redoing the WMPH ranking for 2007 and making a stand-alone blog for my Khador force. I've got my painting scheme down and will continue to use it for the rest of my future painting. Khador will definitely be my priority, with Trollbloods as a break project ^_^

I'll be playing more 40K and WFB this year. With Hobby Haven and UPCFA as active venues (active for both PP and GW games), I'll be sharpening my dulled Warhammer skills this 2007. I'll be working on some Black Templars side by side with my Necrons. I'll also be doing up my Khorne Daemonic Legion together with my Vampire Counts.

I'll also be studying 3d this year. I've already bought an... *ahem* installer which I'll be installing within the day. Hopefully I can get some tutorials online (Kei will be a definite held here ^_^).

I might be taking up on that World of Warcraft CCG as well. I'll look more into it first though. Arvin demo'ed the game to me yesterday, and I can pick one up easy. The game's pretty straightforward though. But it'll be a real drain on resources. Then again, what hobby isn't, right? I just hope I get a nice hero on that starter I'll pick LOL!

9th Webby Awards Philippines - Best Site for MEDIA

Francine, me, Randy and Amita


The GMANews.TV team


Francine Prieto with the news team gfx guy


I don't know who these other two chicks are, but they're for Globe, and they're pretty hot

I started my professional career as a web developer. That was six years ago. And yeah, I started out with VERY little knowledge about the whole HTML thing. But because of the nudging of a very good friend, Jun Visda, it became an indelible part of my life.

And now after all these long years, jumping from company to company, team to team, I've finally landed my first Webby BEST SITE award!

And yeah, Francine Prieto certainly made the win even more worth the while!

+++

The bands that performed were awesome ~ DNA Rock, Helen and Join The Club! Will be looking out for their CDs soon!

Brass Balls Anyone?

This will be the local WARMACHINE league that I'll be joining this December. Hopefully I can squeeze time for it as I'll be expected to game against 7 different guys with just one list before the year ends.

If the fight is easy, you're not challenging up the ladder!

Reflections of the real world

My younger sister's gonna get married this month. That's why my family came back over here in the Philippines. Kinda like a semi-reunion/wedding celebration/vacation/christmas/new year thingy all in one kablam. My brothers are already staying with me in Tendido. Hopefully we don't make too much of a mess that we can't clean up before mom and dad gets home.

Water's finally fixed. But there's a new leak near the fridge area. Need to fix that, too. Now where are they gonna stay at home? The old queen-sized bed is bloody broken. And my brothers need to share the sala outside. I hope my mom's plan of buying new stuff at home pushes through. Ah well...

Need to move all of my hobby stuff somewhere. I don't think all of that can fit in my lightless room. But I need to take care of that problem before they arrive next week.

I also need to get to painting more. Work's been keeping me hella busy the past few. I plan on playing Arv's Brass Balls league and get back to playing more WFB and 40K regularly as well. I plan on playing more frequently at HH and Fortress, too.

So much to do, so little time.
