Shared Topic: One vs Many? (Solo vs Party Questing)


Hi everyone! This week's Shared Topic over at Blog Azeroth is brought to you by Martha.net. She asked "While there are some quests that specifically call for grouping, most don't... but do you group anyway? How many of you pick up a friend or guildie to quest with and how many grind the lonely roads alone?" I just thought I share my experience to everyone about this topic because I do find it interesting, So here goes.

My answer would be Yes and No, Yes because when I first started playing back in Burning Crusade. I had to quest with my boyfriend together so we can level up faster and kill mobs and finish the quest easily. As we both progress and level up, We find friends along the way and end up having to group up with them especially the quests in Eastern and Western Plaguelands. These friends that I group up with ended up to be my guild mates in the end because we enjoyed playing together and run dungeons was a lot of fun, grouping wise during that time, In my opinion It was really great and I had no problem with grouping at all. I did thought it's probably because we are still low levels then.

But as time goes by, and leveling and questing from level 60-70 was a bit challenging and the level experience was getting slower if we group up with someone. So my boyfriend and I just started Soloing, he does his quests and so am I and continue our adventures separate ways. but by the help of Questhelper addon most players that time begin to quest Solo because it's faster and you can loot any quest items and don't need to wait for the others to get it. its like Your Kill, Your Loot.

As I level up another alternate character I started to solo while questing now until this day in Cataclysm expansion, I guess I was also used of doing daily quests and end up soloing. the only time I had to ask someone to group up with me if I know I am not confident with my skills to be able to kill an elite boss for a quest that is higher level than I am. or If it's a group dungeon quest. But through all that experience on grouping and questing with someone, or everyone was an unforgettable game experience because you learned a lot from my guildies and friends.

Also for me, Time is so important. playing a game like World of Warcraft can be so addicting! and If I Solo quest It saves me a lot of time because I can just go on and do whatever I need to do and finished the quest faster. versus having someone with me to quest with it just makes me slower and sometimes unable to finish the kills or loots on time because you have to share everything. But don't get me wrong I like group questing too but just really depends what quest it is. Now a days and especially in Cataclysm leveling and questing or even since Wrath of Lich King it's so fast now the in game Map has its own features to tell you where you can go and finish the quests, and also keeps track of all your quests. there's also a lot of addons that you can use to help you quest alone in any area. 

Anyway, That is it for me if you haven't shared your response of this week's Shared topic over at Blog Azeroth, Please visit now or go to Martha.net for more details! This shared topic of the week is up until Aug.29-September 4, 2011. Can't wait to read other's response, So what are you waiting for? Blog about it now! Thanks for reading! and Have a good one!

Fires, Earthquakes and Hurricanes...Oh My!!

Don't Mess with Mother Nature!! ~Unknown


What a lot of excitement we have had here in Virginia and North Carolina!!  As you probably know, we have had the Dismal Swamp fire for several weeks, that periodically sends it's smoke our way, and it can be so bad some times that you can barely see to drive....then as quickly as it comes, it goes away!! 


Then, the EARTHQUAKE....yes we had an

Roses and Bread in Portland

As I've mentioned, one thing that stops me in every walk I've taken here is the roses. They are everywhere, sometimes one or two, sometimes a yard full of them. They each have their own unique fragrance, spicy, sweet, pungent or barely there at all. Some are in the height of their glory, some are windblown, older, petals holding on waiting for a breeze to scatter them on the ground and sidewalks.

Hawthorne Street Fair



On the way to Hawthorne Street
Yesterday, here in Portland, was the Hawthorne Street Fair. Nicely not far from my daughter's house, I walked over to check it out. Blocks and blocks and blocks of vendors, many from the shops that line the street, along with some set up booths in parking lots. Bands played, clowns smiled, it was a happy crowd. Lots of food vendors, to the point that I really

Natural Health : You know you want it.

Recently my dearest Mummy, asked me to read "The Young Lady's guide To Natural Health" by Mrs. Graham" and to give my opinion of it.
 Its a short instructional book with fabulous , practical advice.
There are five chapters within this e-book.
they are

1. A Healthy Mind
2.Nature's Doctors
3. Diet
4. Caring For your Body
                                   and
5.Your Changing Body.

The first part is on the mind, Mrs. Graham says that "If we allow negative thoughts and feelings to take over, they will undo all our physical work. They are so powerful that they can toxify the body as much as anything in our physical world."  Mrs. Graham says that when ever possible we should be doing away with music , TV etc. And read good wholesome books, relaxing music and watch things that are morally uplifting.    I could see this as something very important and  use full as I know from experience that a variety of things are much more fun for me than the same thing(s) over and over again.
                                                                                   
 Mrs. Graham gives excellent advice on how to make  a good start to your day, she says " Before rushing off to all the day's activities, take a few minutes to quiet  yourself and pray, meditate and see in your mind a perfect day. Now do what you can to make your day look like the one you 'saw' in your mind! Ask yourself 'What can I do today to make my  life truly wonderful?' "   I'm not so sure about this as I like my day to be a surprise present , full of wonder and mystery. but, again they are good points to know of.
                                      
 Mrs. Graham recommends on ending the day in a peaceful and relaxing manner. She suggests on keeping a journal on everything good we did that day and to also write down  "Five things you are grateful for." Mrs. Graham says that 'After saying your prayers put on relaxing music, scriptures, or one of those subliminal , 'mind training' Cd's available and say to yourself 'No matter what happens I am always safe' This puts you in a peaceful state of mind that will stay with you all night while you sleep"   I can understand  this as I know if I go to bed upset, sad or cross I won't sleep peacefully and will (probably ) wake up feeling worse.
                                                 
Mrs. Graham says that fresh air is most important as it "purifies our blood and gives life to our bodies."   Mrs. Graham says that we should take several deep breaths first thing in the morning and last thing at night . She also advices us to allow fresh air to flow through our house and to allow air to flow through our bedrooms as this provides air to sleep well.     Hence, why I hate being in a crowded stuffy room   it is soooooo not invigorating for me.     

 Mrs. Graham tells us that without the sun life would be impossible. It creates Vitamin D and makes us feel good.    It does indeed, on a sunny day everything seems bright and cheerful . But, on a cloudy day I don't feel so joyous.
                                                   
Also , Exercise. We must get some exercise everyday as lymph (a clear fluid whose vessels are purified by the heart) cannot move without the help of muscles . And that is why it is vital to we exercise for half an hour each day, to move our lymph.      I know for a fact that when I exercise I sleep better, think better and just have a sense of general well being.                         

On  diet Mrs. Graham says that a Japanese proverb says "stop when you are eighty percent full."   Overeating food because its tasty is bad and must  be stopped. Mrs. Graham says 'chewing food slowly and enjoying each bite instead of rushing through a meal helps food be better absorbed into the body."  And we should eat as much green stuff as possible. Because greens are excellent blood purifiers and have  tons  of nutrients in them. She also tells us what food  to avoid and what we should substitute instead.      This was excellent advice. I love greens , and indeed all food in general so this shall be remembered by me most faithfully.                     

Mrs. Graham also recommends  not eating after a certain time in the evening to aid digestion. And to drink Water! Water! Water! (thankfully) I love water. Mrs. Graham says that certain fabrics prevent the skin from breathing and build up static electricity which makes us feel nervous.   Yes, I would rather sleep well than have indigestion. not , that I've ever had it.   And certain fabrics do can make me feel unsettled.

Mrs. Graham gives practical advice on hair care, tooth care and skincare and provides us with a few recipes to try. Also given are practical eye care tips, which are easy to use and highly beneficial .                             Mrs. Graham also talks on a girls changing body and how to assist in caring for it.    These ideas where most interesting. I wasn't I fan of the tooth cleaning tips though as I find anything different in my mouth invasive.

All in all  this is a great book for young girls and indeed women of any age. Mothers and daughters could read it together or a daughter could just read it by herself ( like I did :D ) and feel as if Mrs. Graham herself was instructing her and then share the jewels she has gleaned from its pages with her mother.    

This book is the most practical advice on Natural Health that I have heard of and it is all in one place.    

I recommend it to any girl striving to care for her body in the most healthy and practical way.   In fact to ANYONE regardless of whether they asked about it or not.

Since we aren't concerned with hurricanes here, there are other things to do on a weekend. But yesterday's plans to get to the farmer's market fell through for various and sundry reasons  A Saturday in downtown Portland last year looked like this. This year, we'll try again, but for now, my yesterday was closer to home, and looked like this instead.

Before and After (getting to Portland)



One of the prettiest rest areas I've seen
Joseph and Rowan kindly let me ride along with them on the journey from California to Portland, Oregon. It's a long drive and a beautiful one. We took a couple of detours on scenic routes; redwoods, rivers and mighty rocks, oh my. Fields and farms and backdrops of mountains. Meadows  and vineyards, wine among the corn. It's a beautiful country, the

This is amusing ( well for me it is :D )

An Irish priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut . The state trooper smells alcohol on the priest’s breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car.
He says, ‘Sir, have you been drinking?’
‘Just water,’ says the priest.
The trooper says, ‘Then why do I smell wine?’
The priest looks at the bottle and says, ‘Good Lord! He’s done it again!’

Distractions

Beside having a couple of hundred photos to go through, having fun with Vrai (a friend's 8 year old awesome son who has been with us this week) and the connection at times being v e r y slow, I was distracted yesterday with a girl named Irene. Happy to report that aside from power outages, downed limbs and a report that three boats broke loose (I don't know details) and the ferry schedule being

Travel dreams?

I was going to tell you about this pretty crazy, very detailed dream I had last night where, in order to save fuels and restore the pristine places in the world, including Old World and other ancient cities that are cluttered with tourists obscuring everything, along with leaving their droppings, that will never appear as they did only 50 years ago, the Planners that Be had come up with a drug

Bad Trip to My School !

Today is '19th August 2011~


Well, This morning was fated to be a bad day for me * I thought*.
Yeah, It is true !


Well, I'm going to start the experience I got this morning. 
*sigh*
- Last night exactly on 18th August , my friends and I were gathering in my house to finish our class' wall_magazine ~
It was really exciting and we did it happily and full of jokes.





The next day, I woke up at 5.50 a.m.
I took a bath and had a brakfast.

At 6:45 a.m_, my friend's father came to take me to the school by motorcycle.
Once he offered, I said 'It'll be fine if I go there with my father by car'.
But , This kind-hearted uncle help me to hold our wall-magazine.
But what happened in the journey,..??!


The contents of the wall-magazine were flying to the road.
Then , he stopped and I ran to catch all the flying sheets..~




Then, I said to my friend's father that 'It's okay if I go there with my father later'.
But really thankful for this kind-hearted uncle too..^.^






Then, I walked back to my house.




And I asked my father to bring me to my school.
Well,. I waited him for 10 minutes.
Then , we started our journey to my school.


When my father stopped his car, I still need to walk to my school through a passage way.
Because of the wind, It blew the contents of the wall magazine again..




OMG..!
I was about surrender of it..!




But whatever, It happened again., I picked them up again and again till I got to my school..!

Urgh..! That was an annoying trip for me.. 






T_T



But, my bad feelings were gone once the Mathematic lesson be started and I started to communicate with my friends in the school-




I hope this event willn't be happened again...

I feel much better now~




Thanks Jesus Christ ^.^
