Nobility

DND was lots of fun today. Maya is back in Morinville to deal with her family and the "guest" that has been staying at the Sho estate: the charismatic and handsome Anthé Foh. He's remained charmed by the Foh matriarch for the past six months, and although his family wants him back, I'm uncertain if that is something that will come to pass.

Additionally, Fergus, Maya's paladin bodyguard and personal confidante, has also become charmed by the greater Lady Foh and is now on the roster to become Maya's husband. Maya also discovered Qadir, a close friend who sadly died many sessions ago, has his soul kept by either her mother or grandmother.

Is this a dating simulation, or DND? This session was quite wild. I'm not quite sure what to make of it!

Driftwood

Mornings have been exhausting these days; I'm on a string of 7AM starts, and while the workload once I arrive at the office is light, I feel like a deflated helium balloon. Looking over my schedule, I need to tighten the reins on my punctuality. I've been late a couple times and taken more sick days than preferred. Going forward, I'll strive to wake up earlier and become more accountable.

I need to kick my own butt in being more active as well. I've definitely gained weight, and while that isn't necessarily a bad thing, I feel the difference and it makes me sluggish. Still, I would rather curl up in bed playing Pokemon Sword for hours than drag myself outside or to the gym. Baby steps, right? Baby steps.

Speaking of Pokemon, the new game is everything I could ask for. I was skeptical at first, given how lackluster I found Let's Go and even Sun/Moon to be, but wow - I'm singing Sword and Shield's praises. I can imagine heading over to the Galar region to visit. Thoughts are swirling, especially regarding that charming dragon gym leader, Raihan... AHHHHHHHH, what is this?!

Tamagotchi Sunday

Another weekend is over! I attended church service as usual today, but with a guest visit from Ivan. He usually goes to Broadway Church, but I invited him to come to mine instead. I enjoyed spending time with him. He has a kind smile, and appears to be a kind man. We went to Nelly's Diner for lunch after service, and I had a good time.

We went for a walk after lunch, and ended up both getting Tamagotchis!!! Mine is named Black Bean, whereas his is named Beany. We're having a competition to see who can keep their pet alive longer.

I'm unsure of how to proceed. I don't know what the expectations are or whatever. But I'm taking it day by day, as suggested.

One Thing

i can't wait to get out of here. to escape into a different reality, if only for a little while. that's fine with me. i don't need a lot of room to grow.

i wish i was as fearless as i once was. caution doesn't suit me but at the same time, exercising restraint equates to maturity. i don't know why. but this is fine.

ugh!~~!! how frustrating...

Tragic Justice

Hello, netizens. I have booked my flight to HK for December and I'm greatly anticipating spending time with my grandma for her ninetieth birthday bash, as well as getting to eat delicious foods from my home country.

The political atmosphere is something I definitely have to deal with, but here's hoping I won't notice much other than the mild traffic interruptions or MTR shutdowns.

Anyway, the following is an impromptu roleplay between yours truly and C.FLORES.

Blessings

I caught the flu from my mother and, as a result, stayed home from work to rest my weary, achy body. Life has been stable, with nothing too dramatic or interesting happening asides from the usual (well, nothing that I wish to disclose to the general public at this time, anyway!).

Wait, there is ONE THING I want to share with the world: my darling sponsor children! Erika and Vanessa. They are only babies, 9 and 12 respectively.

Vanessa
Birthday: October 28, 2010
Erika
Birthday: August 6, 2007

I've only told a few of my close friends that I am sponsoring these lovely girls from Bolivia. To be honest, I don't know much about Bolivia at all! But a dear colleague of mine has translated their videos for me and has agreed to help translate some of my letters to send over (even though I am well aware that World Vision workers translate letters for sponsors as well, haha).

I hope to make a positive difference in the lives of these two kiddos. They're growing up in a different world than I am, but they're full of life and deserve the chance to believe in themselves and to know that somewhere out there, someone cares about them and the well-being of their families. Perhaps that could inspire them to work hard and achieve their goals.

Personally, I haven't been in a relationship with anyone since early 2018, which seems so long ago now. I really don't know if I'll find anyone to fall in love with, but I am willing to accept whatever God's will is for me. I have a lot of friends and a loving family - that's one thing to count my blessings for!
