Rewards
As much as I love gaming and writing, I can only manage to sneak some of it in between my mental breaks during work and school. For me, both gaming and writing are cathartic, whenever I feel stressed or frustrated, I usually run to the nearest Timezone for Time Crisis or House of the Dead 4 OR I write in my blog. These two things have been the only things that kept me sane these last two months.
Moving on though, I recently had an article published in GAME! Magaine, the newest and hottest PINOY gaming magazine. It’s in the June-July issue where we also featured Ragnarok (if memory serves me right that is). I wrote an article about Ran Online. It’s another MMORPG game that hit the Philippine market with its amazing style. As you all probably know, I am a HUGE anime fan–and Ran’s campus style world hooked me in. I actually have this insane obsession with Japanese schoolgirl outfits and with Ran I get to fulfill that latent ambition– well, at least in cyberspace.
The editorial assistant of that magazine, my sis, Michiko sent me an email which I just read this morning after a couple of days. One of the readers saw fit to mention my name out of the many professional and more hardcore gamers who wrote in the magazine and yes, I’m very flattered. Here it is:
“hi GAMErs.. im happy that you include ran online in ur reviews but I think that its for newbies guide only..kung pwede po sana sa next ish nio meron na rin yung sa episode 2 ..kasi im not a newbie in this game,but i dont have any background about the episode na lalabas this september..sana po yun yung malagay sa 4th ish nio..thanz din kay Ms. Joan Carla Guevarra ..sana po xia p din ung gumwa sa next..keep up the good work..nicely done GAME..!! josh atienza ^_^ “
There’s a big grin on my face right now–I mean, wow, he actually wrote down my whole name. Hehehe. You know for me, there’s no better reward than having readers enjoy what I write. It’s so much better than any cash or check. ^_^
So do check our GAME Magazine, I have an article in the June-July issue and I have another article in the next issue. WAI! ^_^
