			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">If you like elemental RPG, you&#8217;d definitely love this scene. You can play with the beautiful sprites and fairies in The Fairy Tree!  You can invite your buddies to play and have fun as you jump on daisy flowers,  swing on a rose, and even  float on a water flower pad. You can sit on a flower that has awesome animations! Even the water has nodes too and that only means one thing, you can add more elemental and  fairy products and customize your very own fairy wonderland. If you&#8217;d like to get all the fun and excitement, it is best to buy the bundle, you get to save, and even have credits.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;ll try to search and feature other exciting IMVU rooms and IMVU bundles as I explore the virtual world of IMVU, as well as other RPG, MMORPG, Avatar Chat Communities  and other free online games, flash games, etc.. Watch out for them in my next posts. Meanwhile, check out the video of the Fairy Tree!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_148" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 250px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-148" title="honeymoon" src="http://awakekoholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/honeymoon-300x213.png" alt="The Honeymooners" width="240" height="170" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The Honeymooners</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After exploring the whole house and sharing an intimate time together, we talked about how it could be like outside. Red Butterfly could be a little scardy cat sometimes and I love teasing her. So, I told her about how people feared wandering around because of the speculations about the ghosts and stuff. She was like, &#8220;can we just stay in here, please?&#8221; I told her that we can, but there&#8217;s so much to see and discover outside.<br />
After we ate our breakfast, I finally got to convince her to go outside. We started to check out the back of the house and picked flowers n the other side of the hill, I&#8217;ve also tried fishing, and then we decided to go boating around the stream. There was <span id="more-147"></span>this boat where you can ride and on and I did the rowing part. It was a little inconvenient because the rowing set-up was a little difficult to maneuver. I figured that the one who made it most probably wasn&#8217;t really an experienced rower or something like that. But I was able to manage anyway, it just took a little improvisation and trick.</p>
<div id="attachment_149" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 260px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-149" title="there" src="http://www.awakekoholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/there.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="199" /><p class="wp-caption-text">There!</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When we reached the calm part of the stream, Red Butterfly asked me where the water was coming from, and so I told her that it was coming from the falls at the midst of the Mythical and <a href="http://awakekoholic.com/virtual-reality/the-mystical-forest-adventure-begins">Mystical Forest</a>. She looked at me and her eyes gleamed under the morning sun. I smiled at her and she was like, &#8220;I know what you&#8217;re thinking.&#8221; I said, &#8220;come on, do you really believe that it&#8217;s that creepy in there, why don&#8217;t we check it out?&#8221;<br />
And so we&#8217;ve decided that we are going to wander a bit into the said forest. Red Butterfly prepared food that we could bring on our little adventure, and also some extra necessities. We were planning to check out the source of the falls and maybe go swimming in there. There were stories about the hot spring like water basin just by the foot of the waterfalls. I was so excited to check it out. Red Butterfly being the adventurous girl that she is was also getting excited. We&#8217;re not really used with this kind of environment since we have been beach bums ever since. But, it&#8217;s something new, cool, and exciting!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">After a long tiring day at the <a href="http://www.capella.edu">university online</a>, Red Butterfly and I have decided to take a break. And so we&#8217;ve decided dine out and we&#8217;ve chosen to go to our common favorite place, Shanti&#8217;s Place. The manager and the stuff of the Club and Resto Bar are awesome. Shanti&#8217;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 <span id="more-77"></span>request for wine, they also have that. People here are pretty serious about their jobs and they are really dedicated on what they do.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some other clubs are nice too, but Shanti offers not just great food and drinks, but also great music. From the classics, to dance tunes, to modern sounds, but never noisy, and soothing to the soul.  You can also play tye musical instruments together with those who are performing, or try to put your hands on the baby grand piano. If ever you&#8217;d like to play music, just be sure to ask permission from the DJ . If you are the type of person who loves to dance, the dance floor is always available for you. Shanti&#8217;s place is open 24&#215;7. Shanti&#8217;s Place is one of the best virtual club there is in the entire  IMVU land so don&#8217;t miss out on it! It&#8217;s the place to be.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">My favorite bar tender  and DJ here is Lady Syrn.  For those who aren&#8217;t aware yet. This place has a lounge room too, so if you&#8217;re feeling a bit tired or woozy after all the dancing and stuff, you can just rest and relax at the lounge. To all those who have not checked out this place yet, it&#8217;s worth visiting. I give Shanti two thumbs up and the staff as well for a job well done. Way to go guys!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If only I am able enough and I had the time, I would love to work as a bartender at Shanti&#8217;s Place. But I guess to be a DJ one needs not only the skill, but also loads of music for nonstop playing. Hmmm&#8230; Maybe someday..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">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 <a href="http://awakekoholic.com/virtual-reality/the-awakekoholic-3d-avatar">Avatar</a>. 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. <span id="more-14"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The photo is a bit blurry but that’s me, Red Butterfly and  MissRia riding in that red virtual car. The nice thing about this room is that  there is an animated car you can ride on and it really moves and your avatar can  drive it. This room also has a mountain tunnel, a cool mountain top with an  awesome view. The only way to get to the top of the mountain is by riding the  cable car. This is one of my most favorite rooms. I saw it first when I was  searching for public rooms with cars. I guess Red Butterfly knew that I liked it so much  that’s why she bought the room. I didn’t have enough credits to do so myself. We  try not to buy similar types of rooms, since we can share it anyway. We have a  few other rooms too. After the short mountain drive, we headed off to Red Butterfly’s beach  house with MissRia. She stayed for awhile and then went ahead to find  and have some 3D chat and fun with her other new  friends.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<div id="attachment_24" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.awakekoholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/virtualboxing.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-24" title="virtualboxing" src="http://awakekoholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/virtualboxing-300x215.jpg" alt="Virtual Boxing" width="300" height="215" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Virtual Boxing</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And if you want to experience all these, don’t hesitate to click that banner on the sidebar. It’s all that it takes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Virtual Citizens communicate through Text Bubbles. This is true in most RPG, MMORPG, or any other games where players have the ability to talk and interact with one another. although most games uses chat boxes, I still prefer the bubbles. It can be a little annoying at time, most especially when you&#8217;re taking screen shots, good thing there&#8217;s a way to remove it. Anyway many are confused on how it works, basically, you  just invisibly type something you want  to say and then it appears in bubble on top of your character. there’s an option  to switch it a usual chat window through by pressing Ctrl and B simultaneously.  <span id="more-11"></span>But still, I prefer the bubble type unless otherwise I’d like to take some good  screen captures of the <a href="http://awakekoholic.com/virtual-reality/the-awakekoholic-3d-avatar">avatars</a> and the view. In this photo, I am hanging around  with RB (RedButterfly21) in the beach house. We sort of had a light argument  here, but it’s nothing really. FYI: <a href="http://awakekoholic.com/random/redbutterfly21-the-woman-behind-awakekoholic">Red Butterfly</a> is someone special in real life, I had  her sign up for an account and make an avatar too so we could hang out virtually  as well. You’d be seeing a lot of her in the photos, so yeah.If you’ve noticed  that we have a Christmas tree and fireplace too. Like what I’ve mentioned in the  previous posts, whatever its is that we have in real life, there’s also a  virtual counterpart. Both the Christmas tree and fireplace are animated. The  fire lights up just like that of in a real fireplace, and the Christmas tree has  blinking lights and it also has music, you just have to type the trigger word  x-mas to turn it on. Fascinating, isn’t it?</p>
<p>I bought this beach house  room, it doesn’t cost as much although it came with just the house itself and  wasn’t furnished, because I wanted something I could customize. You may also buy  a new room with a different setting, like a beach house for instance, movie  house, mountain cabins, mansions, yacht, white sand beaches, playground, clubs,  malls, name it and <a href="http://imvu.com/catalog/web_invitation.php?userId=32162767&amp;from=power-email">IMVU</a> has it. you’d even be surprised because you will find  scenes and places that you could only imagine or see in movies, like go  underwater, or up the clouds.<br />
If you have no credits to buy your own rooms,  you could still experience and explore more than 800 rooms and counting. Meet  people, party, hang out at the beach, or wherever you want to.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Yes, you got it right! Buckstars Coffee, there is such.  If in real life there’s the famous Starbucks Coffee  where people taking mba programs usually meet up, it also has it’s  counterpart in the virtual world of RPG and MMORPG, and that is Buckstars Coffee. Where coffee is  good, it’s staggering where you get everything for the price of a buck. Buckstars is one of the basic and most important among  what they call locked rooms. Aside from being a place where you can have virtual  coffee talk and hang out with your friends, it’s also the room wherein you land  on every time you get booted up in a conversation, where you’re not the owner of  the place. <span id="more-7"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Let’s say for example your friend invite you over to her house, and  then her computer suddenly crashes. Since she’s the one who invited you, her  room will be offline, therefore you will be booted out of that session, or vice  versa. What happens is that you don’t get to stay in that same place and you  land at Buckstars everytime.<br />
One thing that’s good about this room is that  it’s locked and it’s not heavy to load, so it won’t take up much of your  computer memory. You get to load the whole place in just a matter of seconds.  FYI: The more items there are in a room, the longer it takes to load, most  especially if there are quite a number of people in it too. Anyway, back to  Buckstars, each person who signs up for an account has this room automatically  on your inventory. The reason for this is what I’ve mentioned earlier, to be the  constant place you land in every time. Check out Buckstars!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="msg Nth" style="text-align: justify;">Before I go to the topic about my avatar, I would like to  talk about the Virtual World and environment in which my Avatar will become a  virtual citizen of. If there are different types of Online Degree Programs, There are also a lot of virtual games and environment that you  could choose from, either from single player and multi player games, realms, or  chat softwares that includes a virtual environment and simulation games, otherwise known as RPG interface. There’s  The SIMS with a lot of extensions and you can install in your machine and run  with or without the net connection, there are also online multiplayer games with simulation environments and interactive 3D chat software fully loaded with so many features that you can  install and run just like There, Kaneva, Secondlife, and IMVU. And in my case I  have tried most of them but have settled with IMVU, a continously growing online  network and Virtual world. The Avatars in IMVU are 3D and more detailed than the other counterparts most especially when it comes to skins, eyes, and even  the rooms and clothes, etc. I have had my other Avatar for about a year now, but  for the sake of this blog and for a new beginning, I have signed up for a new  account and created a new Avatar named awakekoholic.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="msg Nth" style="text-align: justify;">If getting a degree online has an enrollment process, the first step in becoming a part of the Virtual World is  to create your own virtual entity. It could be a reflection of yourself in real  life, a character that you desire to become, or a role that you’d like to  portray in any online games, may it be RPG, MMORPG or what have you. A virtual entity otherwise known as Avatar. An avatar is the 3D pseudo  physical representation of yourself and your existence in the world of virtual  reality. Some create themselves into monsters, some into bots, some into elves,  vampires, heroes, etc. But I chose to remain in the realm of humans. A real life  avatar as what they call it. Human in form from head to toe, only an animated  representation of yourself. Well, we can’t deny that not all human avatars are  real life avatars, or a reflection of the owner in the real world. You are given  the option to make your avatar good looking, sexy, perfectly proportioned from  head to toe, or to look like any celebrity that you dream to be. Most virtual  citizens choose to be those perfect characters, most especially those who dream  to become famous, and some to fulfill their frustrations in real life. But  still, it’s different when you make or customize your own real life avatar.  Because that way, you get to experience the best of virtual world like  experiencing it in real life, because you get to see a  3D reflection of you in  every scene. In my next post I will be posting photos of my virtual entity aka  avatar.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Most people blog about things that happens in real life some about their online college degree. The things they do,  their experiences, what they have observed, new discoveries, and all that  pertains to their daily personal experiences. Some people write about what’s on  the news, what’s the hottest product in the market, people dying and people  killing people, the hottest trends in fashion, music and sports industry. Some  blogs to share their passion in writing, poetry, music, art, and photography.  That’s what the usual blogging is all about. I myself prefer to belong to the  other side of bloggers, people who blog about their favorite online games, RPG games in particular the  newest and hippest softwares to hit the web, but more specifically about virtual  life. Sometimes there are things that we can’t do in real life that are possible  in virtual reality, you discover people, make new friends, join a community,  discover new places, hang out with your friends, and even become famous in the  virtual world. A world that the only limit is your own imagination. An escape  from reality, and sometimes a stepping stone to finding your dream in real life.  A way to make real friends, and to become inspired to make those dreams and  adventures real. Today, I will be taking a different route in blogging and take  the same journey as those who have gone before me.</p>
