The Red Bike

The Red Bike

It’s late at night but I can’t seem to sleep. My wedding is tomorrow, and I guess I’m just really excited. Red Butterfly is sleeping at her friend’s place for the whole preparation. I just really need to see her. The car is already conditioned and prepared for the big day and I can’t afford to use it at this point. Red Butterfly said I should be resting and not going anywhere, but I just really need to see her right now. I am so filled with this longing to see my baby. And so I put on my jacket and my night vision shades, got my bike from the garage and now I’m driving off at the middle of the night towards that place where my one and only love is at. The place is just a few kilometers outside the city near to the portal of wedding in the sky.

In a few minutes I will be there and I will see Red Butterfly, and I’ll be ok then. ^^ I just really miss her so much. I’ve never missed her this much in my entire life. I guess clinical trials can’t tell what this kid of feeling is like.. it’s just too overwhelming.

Shanti's Place

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

After a long tiring day at the university online, Red Butterfly and I have decided to take a break. And so we’ve decided dine out and we’ve chosen to go to our common favorite place, Shanti’s Place. The manager and the stuff of the Club and Resto Bar are awesome. Shanti’s place is one of the friendliest places there in IMVU land and the staff are really accommodating. Red Butterfly and I have made a few friends like Add, Syrn, Wolf, Knight, Blue, The Candy Family, etc. We love the food here and as well as the drinks, because they patronize non alcoholic beverages. Although if you (more…)

The Proposal

The Proposal

The Proposal

I guess most of you are wondering how the proposal went. Well, it was pretty romantic for me, and I think Red Butterfly liked it too. I didn’t really tell her where we were going I just said I had to go to some place really early. It was still dawn and there’s no trace of the sun in the sky yet. I thought it was perfect. I had the ring inside my pocket since the night before and I was hoping she wouldn’t have a clue of what I was going to do. I told her to just dress up and to go with me coz I didn’t want to go alone without her. Being the sweet person that she is, she just heed to my request and dressed up, and we went off. I couldn’t take the smile off my face and she was starting to wonder why I was all smiles. I just said that I woke up happy and the sight of her makes my heart smile, and it’s showing inside out ^^. I felt a little sorry coz she was obviously still very sleepy when we got into the car. She’s usually the one who drives during the morning, coz (more…)

Virtual Wedding Preparations

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Just like any other couple in the world who are soon to be wed, we are also busy looking for the right place to hold our virtual wedding vows at, as well as the place to dine in and celebrate afterward. Red Butterfly doesn’t know but I am also looking for a nice place to go to after our wedding. A honeymoon get away of some sort. I’m still trying to choose a perfect place that we could spend some time alone after our wedding.
Red Butterfly loves the wedding in the sky setting, but I am torn between just simply getting wed in a nice chapel, or have a garden wedding of some sort. But of course, my bride’s choice comes first because I want this to be really special for her. We could get wed in some other place again someday, but now… hopefully it’d be wedding in the sky. I have yet to find the priest, pastor, or preacher who would conduct the whole ceremony, and most probably invite a few friends to witness our very special moment. But even if it’s just me and Red Butterfly and the priest or pastor, it would still be the most special day for the both of us. I’m pretty excited, and I know that Red Butterfly feels the same way. In fact, she’s off to the IMVU virtual shop to find that special dress that she could wear on our wedding. Hmmm… I wonder how it’s like getting wed in 3D, that’s what I have to find out.

IMVU Fine Dining and Restaurant

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

After a long day of surfing at the online universities, we spent a very special dinner at IMVU Fine Dining and Restaurant. Red Butterfly shopped for something nice to wear, and I got myself something as well. I guess it’s about time we added something new to our wardrobes anyway. IMVU Fine Dining and Restaurant is one of the elite places to go and dine at. Although they have this dress code, and of course we have to follow it. And so we drove off to the place which isn’t really hard to find, only it takes a little time to load because they only cater ten people inside and that includes the staff of this huge place. Well just like any other place in IMVU, no matter how big the room is, only ten people are allowed in. This is to avoid the scenes going slow mo.  But slow motion or not, as long as I have Red Butterfly with me, I’m perfectly fine.
The beautiful songs played by the pianist even made the night more romantic than ever. After we had our dinner, we ordered red wine and had a toast to us, and for this new beginning. Then, I asked Red Butterfly to dance with me. I held her hand and took her to the dance floor and we danced as sweet slow love songs are being played.
It’s not just the place, the food, the ambiance, and definitely not the wine. It’s just me and Red Butterfly and our love, making the night even more special and warm. How I wished the night would not end, but Red Butterfly and I had to set off for home and rest the night away. Tomorrow is another day.

The New Beginning

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Just like getting an online university degree, I wanted to start this new virtual life right, I don’t want this to be like how it’s like with other people who have just found something new to play for pleasure, or to explore and meet new friends virtually. Well, I have nothing against that, in fact I am open to meeting and making new friends, but not someone special.
I have Red Butterfly and she’s all that I’d ever want to spend and share everything with. I don’t want this to be just another virtual or online game that we play. We are already engaged in real life and I want to make it the same virtually. And so I proposed to Red Butterfly by giving her a ring and asking her to marry me. I wanted to take her to a place that is romantic and beautiful, but I dunno, no matter where I looked I couldn’t seem to find the perfect place. Everything always looked so common and plain, or maybe they’re just always out stood by my baby’s beauty. Her smile alone lights up every place that we went to… (more…)

Living the Virtual Life

Friday, November 14th, 2008

It seems that I am done with introducing the idea of what one needs to be able to start off with living a virtual life or at least gave you a little view on how some Chat RPG game goes. If you’ve read everything from the beginning, and have decided to try and experience it too, you’re probably one of us now who are exploring and at the same time making friends within the virtual world and IMVU community. In my next posts I would no longer be posting the usual description and guides, but instead I will start posting and blog about my very own virtual stories,  experiences, and day to day life in the virtual world. Since it is a virtual world, it would be in a faster phase, unlike in real life. I would probably be able to travel across the virtual places, and discover many faces of the virtual world in just a few hours. I hope whoever gets to read through this blog would also enjoy and would not have second thoughts of trying it out. Sometimes people get too caught up with problems in real life, at the end of the day, you could just relax and try to escape even just for an hour or two into a world where all is possible. From real life simulation activities and environment, to your deepest and darkest fantasies, and wildest imaginings. A world where you can simultaneously be at and have fun while having your class at the online university.

And now starts my journey to my virtual reality…

The Mountain Drive

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

I was trying to browse some nice rooms when I accidentally clicked on the chat now button and unexpectedly met a filipina girl who is also into online games and taking online college courses. It turned out that she just signed up and created her own RPG 3D Avatar. I invited Red Butterfly over to the room to meet her. We were in her basic penthouse and she asked if we had other rooms and I said yeah. I asked Red Butterfly to switch rooms and then we took her for a short mountain drive as we were heading to the other side of the island to Red Butterfly’s beach house. (more…)

A Day at the Virtual Gym

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

After our virtual ecology trip, we decided to go to the gym. Just like how it is in real life, RPG virtual characters or Avatars go to the gym too. This particular gym room was given to me as a gift by a good friend named Shanti. She owns the virtual club called Shanti’s place. As you can see in the photo, this gym has a complete set of gym and exercise equipments. From treadmills, recliners, to bench with barbels, this room also goes with a boxing practice area.

There is a lobby too that looks more like a little pantry that is not included in the photo. The equipments include animations that simulates the lifelike exercises and the treadmill functions the way a real one does. You may also lift one of those barbels if you feel like it. This room isn’t all about exercising, it also goes with funny poses and couple poses.

Virtual Boxing

Virtual Boxing

I guess that’s about it, I just wanted to share this room and the virtual experience in my short day at the gym with Red Butterfly. Red Butterfly’s the one running on the treadmill wearing black and white exercise clothing. She’s also the one practicing  how to punch. It’s funny when she tries hitting that punching bag with her head too.  She looks pretty serious when she does this stuff. It makes me wonder if there’s someone she’d like to punch in real life. She just kicked my balls earlier today (Ouch!). Anyway, just click on the photos for a larger version of the images.

And if you want to experience all these, don’t hesitate to click that banner on the sidebar. It’s all that it takes.

Let Me Take You There Lyrics
Artist(Band): Plain White T’s

I know a place that we can go to
A place where no one knows you
They won’t know who we are
I know a place that we can run to
And do those things we want to
They won’t know who we are

Let me take you there
I wanna take you there (more…)
