In Which we return to SimCity 2013, victim of blind spots...

Good afternoon, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Tuesday, how are you? How have the first week of 2025 treated you? An auspicious start, so I hope! As for me, I am okay... at moments, because I have been trying some different things on my games and computer, I feel in the dark, walking in circles with no purporse and so I become frustrated. The hobby has also caused me to be less mentally available for drawing or writing, at least over the past few days, which is also a source for dismay. In retrospect, though, it's not all bad. I think my first drawing of 2025, the cherry tree, tradition since 2022, looked quite charming, and I trust I will do some more at some point real soon, there is no reason for any stress I'd say, even if I stress all the same. The year caused me to become surprised with its walking, because on a chain of events that started with SimCity 4, released 2003, I ended up returning to the infamous title SimCity 2013, famous for ending SimCity as a franchi...

In which Corn Season took a hit since 2020

This post has been very hard to develop! I keep losing my train of thought and restarting the thing all over again, how awful is that? Just, I keep starting, and I lose track of things and just restart… not ideal. With that being said, good morning, dear reader of this post, and I wish you the best, this Friday! How is the weather? Here, it is wintery season, and the max temperature barely reach 28 Celsius, so that is good. Living in the tropical region, and in the coastal area, this is a fresh one. Today, it is said, is the main day of corn season! Unfortunately, I haven’t celebrated much, if at all, this 2023. It is a sad trend that began with the lockdowns of 2020… that unfortunately broke the line of celebrations each year, a line that was only once also broken, the year of 2012, when my grandpa was staring at the abyss. He did recover, and went to live, though painfully, more 8 years. Even with those sad events, that was the best year of my life… not because things were that massively better, but because everything was magical and dreams seemed to be coming true. I could enjoy as many hours of Civ 5 as I could afford, I finally had some sorta stable friendships, my grades were looking not as bad and through my own efforts… like I said, everything was like being experienced for the first time. Of course, that mirabilis world came crumbling starting on March or February 2013, and… it was the beginning of a massive time of troubles, that would last from November 2013 to… we could say, November 2016. Time of loneliness and frustration, much stress. I think I was not in the mood for fireplaces in 2014. It is sad that such a beautiful time of year has seen me struggling one way or another ever since… I hope next year I can hang out by fireworks and fireplaces, but my grandma has seen enough of those. She is not doing the small gatherings this time of year, anymore, or at least nothing specific for the corn season. I mean, I’m 24 years of age, now, a grown adult for most aspects, though I don’t feel secure on that position. My brother doesn’t visit her much, he is 20. All the children in the family are now way through their teenage years… fireworks lost their meaning… it is not like Christmas, you know, Christmas is forever, no matter what those crappy people may say. Christmas is forever, but is corn season the same way? That is what I wonder, this month of June. If anything, apart from missing my dear friend terribly, and wishing we could chat again more often real soon, I pray for that, and also for his well being. Apart from that, I suppose the month of June wasn’t as bad as May… I did shed lots of tears, but not in the past two weeks. There are troubles, but not like a broken laptop, or dealing with uncontrollable OCD panic attacks. It is… stable, okay, at least for now. Will June be the same, I also wonder about that… Ah… I don’t know. I hope so. It won’t be corn season, but it will be still winter time! 



Took Garfield for a garden walk some days ago! Here is a picture I took, that I edited on Lightroom…
Ha! A reason to celebrate, would you look at that! I laid down in a comfortable position, phone in my hands, and I wrote a new post!!! The interface of blogger for the phone is not really the most optimized, it is a bit clunky. But these days I think I am writing more by just laying down, instead of sitting down… is this a good point to wrap this post up? Also, when I think about it, wow, June is coming to a close! Next week will be its last, and soon July will come. And soon, in August, it will be my birthday! One of my favorite occasions, because I just love to receive messages from friends, and just to have a time to celebrate me shamelessly… when will I come back with another post? Hopefully by this new week. I will write a post wrapping up June, and then one starting July… so are the plans. Thank you ever so much for being here, you are incredible. Wish you the best, once and once again, and I see you real real real real soon!!!!!
