Progress?

Level 69, 18%.

Level-up will be an epic one with my lovie, Flip. C:

Got not much else to say besides wait until it happens, THEN the update will be big. ;D

Maple Update – Level 64

About time I posted something Maple-related. O_o (Also, I’m new to the image posting, so bear with me and these huge screenshots for now.)

Okay, so I leveled to 64 a few days ago. Thanks to Flip and his HS for helping me get there so far. <3 I plan on hitting 70 before November while taking care of college and all that. WILL I MAKE IT?

Here are my thingies. :D

My Hunter's stats and all that.

I didn’t include my NX, I was too lazy to take another screenshot then, but you’ll see it anyway when I mention the events. :P

My stuff. :D

The bow is incompletely scrolled, so is my cape… that’s because I blew 60m on the cape and now I have nothing left for scrolls. :< But hey, 60m for a clean 3 Atk PAC… score! <3 Thanks to my ally who found it for 70, bought it for me and let me pay 60.

The gloves, shoes, (clean) Kandiva and earrings were gifts given to me. I have such awesome friends/guildies/allies. ;~;

I’m doing hot damage with an incompletely scrolled bow and I love it. XD This character’s turning out to be even better than my Ranger thanks to my friends. Just shows that you don’t need merchanting skills to have awesome stuff when you’ve got great friends. :3

As for the new patch…

I haven’t tried everything yet but it seems quite interesting so far. I went to Singapore with Flippy and it was… a bit boring though all we did were two simple-ish quests. We never got around to exploring before deciding to try out the new Mansion quests.

Now THOSE are fun. Know what sucks, though? The prizes are expirable. What’s the point of making everything expire nowadays if we no longer get to keep reminders of events? :< I did lose my Maple Umbrella, Toymaker stuff (Flip gave me his :< <3), 2nd year white Maple bandana (lollame), Christmas Tree, Versalmas Cactus, Versalmas hat, Maplemas Lights… okay, yeah. But at least those are tradeable and permanent. D’: (Except for the Umbrella and hat… guhhh :<)

Point is, there’s really no point to getting these items except for a really short boost or for show for a week/3 days unless you plan on PQing again to get the items again.

The Pumpkin Hat is easy to get, so that’s not SO bad… it lasts for three days, though. It also gives 2 Weapon and 2 Magic Attack.

The Gentleman’s Hat (aka Wonka Hat) lasts for 7 days and gives +4 to all stats, according to a friend of mine. Lasts for a week. It looks dang snazzy, though. I want it anyway. >_>

I must say, the Pumpkin hat is hilarious to wear, considering I have a scouter on! XD

I can see through my mouth... wut.

Flip, myself and two other friends and guildies have been PQing for the hat together and it’s going well… if you ignore the fact that the mirror room seems to be glitched. >_>; We had to start over like 5-6 times in a row because we took like 5-8 minutes (the PQ lasts for 10, mind you) just trying to look for the mirror piece. According to IsaacGS in Southperry, the mirror room seems to be glitched in a sense that the mirror room is broken, depending on where you enter. That’s just a theory, though. Either way, it’s annoying. D:

Nexon also apparently made an oopsie in the Guy Fawkes event, so we’re not getting that anymore for now.

What else… oh, those Mini-Dungeon events. I… will most likely not bother with that. As much as I would LOVE to have one of those chairs, I’d rather not spend NX on trying to get one when I can only stay in there for 5 minutes a day or something like that. x___X If I do, I’d be doing it on my Cleric in the Ant Tunnel dungeon. Meh.

What I really want to know right now… anyone know how to get those Singapore/Malaysia flags? I LOVE them… I adore big flags like those. I’d love to get a Spear flag for my new Spearman but… if Nexon made those expirable, I’m gonna scream.

I’ll probably be on Maple again today to try for that hat and then I’m not sure what I’ll do. I’ll probably start training again after I look into those Pre-Pirate quests… speaking of such, they apparently changed the name Infighter to Brawler? Not a bad change, really… Infighter sounded too much like Fighter, though the name did grow on me.

Oh well. Besides a few flaws here and there , this isn’t a bad patch.

That one unique, special apple in the tree…

I just wanted to say that I feel happier than I usually feel after possibly two months of this popping in and out of my head and about a week of thinking about this wonderful friend of mine, this great person that I had been friends with for… a little over two years?

About two months ago, I had felt a bit odd. It wasn’t a strange feeling, it was a… happy feeling. I couldn’t even stop smiling at one point. It was while I was laying in bed too, trying to get some sleep. I kept thinking about this person for some reason. He had been with me when I needed help, when I needed someone to talk to. He always knows how to cheer me up and make me laugh. He’s like… one of my best friends. I’ve got a special place in my heart for my BEST friend already and no one can replace that (no offense, lawl) but with this person, I had felt like I saw him as more than just a friend.

I had been recovering from another break-up a while before then, so I was very hesitant whenever I thought of it being a crush. As times went by, I stayed unsure. However, this person remained to be the same wonderful friend I know him as, the same person who makes me feel so happy.

A few days ago… I realized that he had liked me. Not just as a friend but as more than that. I was surprised, to say the least, considering how I had felt something myself but was so hesitant to believing it was true. I took the time to think about it, even having trouble sleeping as I thought…

I realized something the night before. I wasn’t unsure of my feelings… I was scared. I was scared of the idea of relationships ever since my last one. I was afraid of hurting him and I was afraid of being hurt.

But… what’s the point of love if I never give it another chance? I knew I liked him back, I really did. But my cowardice was holding me back. I realized that if I want to ever be in a relationship with someone who loves me for me and knows who I am as a person and knows me so well, I shouldn’t skip by the chance. Here I am with someone I enjoy being with so much, enjoy talking to, laugh with, have meaningful conversations with and even deeply trust right in front of me and I’m worried about how it would end up if we got together.

How on Earth will I ever find out if I never try?

What makes me confident about this is that… I trust him and he trusts me. No way in Hell am I passing this by.
