I have a small confession to make. It's really quite insignificant.
I have started playing Maplestory again. Thanks to the little MS chat I had with some of the Odac ppl in the morning.
But yes, I am playing now. I actually went through all the trouble of creating a new account. Then I realised I have this super old character named "gahhhh" in there. Opened it to find a lvl 17 thief.
Ah, and here's where all the memories starts flowing back.[just like how the flood at the Ford stopped the 9 Black Riders that were after Frodo and The Ring. Okay bad joke.]
"gahhhh" was right exactly where I last left him. At least in my memory. Then I remembered who I was playing with the last time I used "gahhhh". Then I opened the buddy list and there! There was the name, sitting right there, reminding me of the past. And it sure felt like shite.
Then I jumped around for a while killing orange mushrooms, thinking of how great the past was.
Then i deleted everyone on my buddy list and quit playing. Cause some things are better left undone.
I will be loyal to the Corp, my unit, my officers, peers and juniors.
My rank is an opportunity to serve others and I will carry out my task cheerfully and accomplish them with quality.
No task is too lowly for me.
Leadership to me is a privilege and not a birthright.
I will not abuse my powers and boost my ego at the expense of others.
I will lead by example and shun the bad practices of those who have gone before me.
I will earn the respect and not demand it and I will achieve it through courage, humility, honesty and fairness.
I will place the welfare of my charge above my own. My cadet first always, myself last always.
I will be an outstanding example in my dressing, speech and conduct at all times in and out of my uniform.
I will instruct others using a patient, positive and encouraging but firm approach.
I will expect high standards but it is only because I must first be good at whatever I teach.
I may not be faced with favorable situations, but I will persevere and to the best of my ability because I can make a difference,
Sirs and Madams.
About high time I started following the Creed. @ 22:35
