About Me

The GAMER in ME:

              I have played hundreds of games since my Family Computer to PC gaming. It when I was introduced to an online game that I realized I was a gamer at heart. My first online game was Ragnarok. The game outmatched all the other videogames I had loved because Ragnarok offered the ability to interact with other gamers like myself and provided a great venue to enjoy the community. Whenever you hear about how people describe a gamers world, imagining the character they play to be their other world, that was how I felt about Ragnarok. It was a great 3-year campaign, then I stopped. Like any other game, there will always come a time when you will grow tired of it. Ragnarok had not progressed as fast as I had wished it to be. The promise of a sequel took too long or never came.

              I tried offline games after that. There were other online games available that seemed nice but, they didn't really catch my attention. The offline games lasted only a week or a month. The experience of the online community just never shook off me. Then came my next game...

              This game just blew me off my feet, everything I had wished for in Ragnarok was just one part of the World of Warcraft. I had heard about this game before when I was playing Ragnarok, but the idea of paying in dollars (it wasn't too expensive, I know!) scared me away. I ignored invitations to the game for years till 2007. I had just opened an internet cafe and a friend of mine had asked me to install the game on my shop so he could play. I installed it and watched him once in a while level up his character.

           Nice graphics...interesting questline...nothing new I thought. Then I saw it, he was riding a TIGER! I was like WoW! I had so wished for this in Ragnarok, and then he was riding a flying drake! Where was this game the whole time! LOL! There's still so much the game I bet new gamers would love. I played this game till 2011. The game is still awesome, no doubt. Maybe I will play the game again, I don't know. But, since them more interesting games have just been released or will soon be released.

Let's see what will come next...

Trading Experience:

                  Now the image above describes my experience with trading. Yes I made a lot of money with trading. I tripled my equity in no more than 5 months. I had been introduced to trading by my roommate whose family business was trading in the stock market. I didn't have enough money then to create an account with a broker so we opened it together and our first stock was MEG (Megaworld).

               When we went to the broker's office, we had no clue what to buy (looking back I wonder why we never asked my roommates grandfather about it) but the broker gave us 2 options: MEG (Megaworld) and BW (BW Resources) and just picked MEG for no reason at all. MEG went up and we made money. We bought another stock WEB (Philweb) and made money again. This was back in 2007, I'm sure veteran traders remember 2007. We were buying and selling stocks back then based on nothing but tips from the news/broker/friends. I had earned enough money to buy on my own and that's when I became a PRO trader. Yes, I was still in college and yet, I had been making a lot of money. When my family heard about it, they started buying the stocks I was buying and everything was super. Until...2008.

                 Yes, you were right! Whom am I to call myself a PRO trader! I was clueless of what I had been doing. Stocks started to drop. Since I had no clue on how to really trade or what was really going on. I bought more stocks thinking that it was bound to rise up. What's worse was I bought stocks even though I didn't have enough money to pay for them. I thought I was going to play the system. Buy and sell before the 3rd day. The 3rd day was the day I had to pay my broker. Then the stocks went down even more... I had to sell my stock because it was beyond my budget and my savings were starting to disappear. Noone bought at my price. By the time I sold my stocks, I had lost even my budget. I also heard my family lost some money from that. The experience shocked me for years until this year when I finally realized that I had lost a lot of money because I didn't know how to trade and that trading in stocks is just as risky as owning a business. You just have to know how to do them to minimize the risks. And so today, I'm back in trading but still learning. I will try to update my discoveries as much as I can.
