So motivation has been less on the blog and more upon the development of my mini games! Keeping up to date with the blog posts is difficult when finding a new mobile game to play whilst on the train! I need start posting again and so with that, lets go for it…
Friday was my day to the cinema with some friends. It’s been a while for me to be at the cinema! So we went to watch the new Arnie film ‘The Last Stand’. Thinking it was going to be a bad film, I walked out quite happy to have sat there for the whole 107 minutes. Although it was typical and despite all of Arnold’s hilarious quotes, sometimes it is nice to appreciate these typical films. I’d recommend this film to all those Arnie fans out there…
Saturday was my good friend Lyndsey’s birthday. We tried to make the birthday a day she would not forget. And I think we may have accomplished that goal! We had a small group of people for dinner at Cabana, Brasilian restaurant which was the first time for me. The food was good however the service wasn’t something to brag about but fair. We also got her a cake as well with the staff singing happy birthday to her. She seemed satisfied with the name ‘Miss Bubbles’ written on the cake so all good! After this, we went to the club. This was a crazy night. I had drinks downed in my system and got drunk too soon! Talking so much shit to everyone, it’s surprising they still stand around to listen to it! Weird… Did my dancing…. Generally, it was a good night. At the end of it, I could barely remember what happened or what I spoke of…
Sunday was just a whole load of sleeping but had the energy to go out for a game of badminton. Although I lost big time, I finally realised my way of playing. So with my next game, I’ll have to try it out. This sport is a stress reliever. Performing exercise and playing the one thing that I haven’t played since I was secondary school or college is finally catching up to my present. I feel a little healthier now that I am doing something active. Just makes me want to do a bit more. The guys at work and I set out to buy table tennis rackets so we are ready to add this to the list as well! We’re on a roll!
Gaming has been at its minimum but the mini games development have been on its maximum! Coding small chunks in the morning or the weekend is enough. So long there has been some sense of achievement is fine by me. Fitting only 30 minutes in the morning before work or just a few hours upon one of the days in the weekend is certainly a break through. Developing just makes me have a peace of mind where I think to myself that maybe I am not wasting my days. It’s 2013, and like I’ve said, it’s time to make a change. My routine has now become a little randomised… Which is good!
Being true to myself is important. If I am true, I need to trust myself as well as the need to ask myself if I am really following my instincts. I am following a path I believe is fun and dynamic unlike before but it comes at a price… Like they say, life is what you make it but I think the way I have changed it maybe for the worst? Being simple is good but also can be a bad thing if I don’t experience the opposites! I guess I am opening my possibilities instead of locking myself down…
