You found me part 2

        The first time I properly laid eyes on you… I thought I found you. However, I later realized that I was wrong for you are hard to miss. Anybody can find you. You stand out without trying while I am just a wallflower. A lily at the sidelines, observing her surroundings. I thought it would be impossible for someone like you to notice me but you proved me wrong. How can someone at the center swim its way among people just to approach a lonely lily? I didn’t mind it back then because I’m not one who wants to grab the attention of other people but you persisted. Why? How? How did you find me? I was baffled beyond belief. Now that we are together, I would like to say that I found you but it was the other way around… You found me.

Lie with me

Wouldn’t it be nice?

To turn & see you

Sleeping oh so peacefully

Beside me in sheets bathed in

Early morning sun

Dreams undisturbed by

The chaos of the outside world

I will cherish dearly

This pause in time

This calm before the storm

You found me

I would like to say, “I found you!” but that would be a wrong statement because in reality, you found me.

FullDive with you

I watched Sword Art Online and now I’m currently watching Sword Art Online II and can’t help but wish that it’s real. Of course, I won’t “dive” into the virtual world right away. I want to observe the first players first because who knows what could be the consequences. I don’t want to experience the die-in-the-game-die-in-real-life concept of Sword Art Online. Of course in the later parts of the anime when Sword Art Online was cleared, the other full dive games have no such concept.
 

Here’s a little description of what Sword Art Online is about. Sword Art Online, hereby shortened to SAO, is a full dive game where a person will wear a NerveGear on his/her head so he/she can FullDive into the game. The body goes on a comatose-like state while playing the game. The player can fully interact inside the game like in another world. No consoles, full interaction & fighting. So even if you live far away or not, you can interact with anyone on SAO being a VMMORPG.
 

So back to wanting to play a game similar to Sword Art Online… Okay, I prefer ALfheim Online since it has more “magic” and you get to choose from different classes of fairies. Alfheim Online, hereby shortened to ALO, is another full dive game in the SAO anime that is similar to SAO. You can buy in game houses & properties so you can have a place to stay while meeting with friends or go on quests or do stuff together like homework or any game/activity you want. It’s pretty convenient for people who live faraway. I know nothing beats real time, actual meeting with friends but if there are time constraints or location problems then an environment like SAO or ALO is very convenient. Imagine buying a log cabin with a beautiful view (hahaha rip-off from Asuna & Kirito’s log cabin) where you can meet with friends or escape reality for a while when it’s getting rough. A dream come true for someone like me!

Since ALO uses an AmuSphere (google it), you don’t have to stare at the screen while playing because you’re IN THE GAME. For someone with poor eyesight like me who suffers from astigmatism, this is a great development in that the grades of my eyes won’t increase leading to poorer eyesight caused by staring at the screen for long hours. Can’t it get any better? Plus I get to have 20/20 vision in the game so no inhibitions to my movements caused by constantly wearing glasses. Aaaahhh.. T_T

I don’t know if it will become possible in the near future but I do need such an environment at the moment. An escape... a place to meet with that person who lives far away from me… A place where we can stay, play, do quests together & relax together after completing quests…*sigh

Photo Post # 1

"You should be here.. beside me. Sharing your thoughts, relaxing, sleeping… sharing your time with me." 

My thoughts as we spend our time apart due to our busy schedules.


P.S. This is not my first photo post but I decided to start numbering them if I don't have a specific title, just a short caption for the photo.
