In Which we Open March 2026 with Hope! A better future for Iran is at hand?

Hello, my dear reader of the present post, and my good friend! Happy month of March! And happy Tuesday! How are you, today? How have you been? As for me, I am quite okay. I slept through most of yesterday, felt sleepy after a doctor appointment with not so great news. Perhaps a reason I wanted that rest, as I did feel exhausted with the relatively bad news. It is not exactly too bad, neither unexpected, it is just weight gain above average for the months. After a good season of losing weight consistently and quite strongly, life resumes its course. I underwent the bariatric surgery and I thought that was it forever. For better or worse, that is not the case. My stomach is fortunately smaller, and it does require extra care, but mostly, apart from that, now I eat and feel no pain, snacks return to be a source of comfort and good texture. That is not exactly all for the best. The discomfort was an imposed brake, and without that, at times, I don't know exactly when to stop. Every inc...

In Which we Open up September counting our blessings

Good afternoon, my good friend, dear reader of this post! Happy Monday, and most certainly happy month of September! New week, new month! How are you? As for me, I am okay, I'd say, nothing really out of the ordinary routine, which is not necessarily a bad thing, not at all. The weather stull has been fresh and pleasant, but I don't fool myself, it will take a turn for the worst soon, with the arrival of the hot winds of the end of the year, and summer. There is the consolation that most likely this 2024's summer was suffocatingly hot because of the fact we were passing through an accumulated El Nino phenomenon. This means that there is a chance the summer of 2025 won't be as egregious. One can only hope. Not all is dread, when it comes to the passage of time, though. Soon will be Christmas!! That glorious time, sacred and beautiful, with enchanting decorations and joyfulness, time for gift giving and receiving, reconciliation and the celebration of the birth of Jesus! I mention Christmas due to my personal love for it. But there are other holidays to look forward to, such as the Halloween time, for the friends in America and England, and the beautiful Thanksgiving holiday in America, time for sweet potatoes and seasoned turkey! Fall will come to the northern hemisphere, making everything orange. If only I could see the seasons, here where I live, time stand still on a summer that only gets mildly less hot during the mid of the year... I am not sure why people associate the tropics with happiness and bright times, I consider that lack of change of pace absolutely dreadful, depressing...


Very elegant gentleman with the colors of the season! Soon will be autumn, season for the orange colors.

What are my plans for this upcoming September? I hope to keep on having good time on playing videogames, Memoriapolis, the new game, comes to mind, hope I can keep the reasonable rhythm of drawing that I observed in August. I hope I can keep on writing... I wish I could have the opportunity to talk more with my dear friend, sir Johannes, but it is out of my control, and I think not entirely on his, either. Johannes is always so busy... I hope I don't have any conflicts with any friend. I wish I can keep supporting Jason, for example. He is such a nice guy. I like him a lot... and there is dearest of Charles, one of the great solances of my life, my hero and best friend. I am grateful for having the friendship of this smart and christian man! 

The trend for September, that may or may not keep on going, is to play Memoriapolis. I also got new mods on Sims 3, that enhanced my experience on the game! It is quality of life stuff, but still very much welcomed. I hope also I can read more, given I am reading a book on the Habsburg dynasty, and listening to another one, and I certainly have been taking my time on both... I think this is only valid, given I just want to have a good time reading the books and learning on my own pace. Speaking of learning, the subject for college this September is a continuation of Colonial Brazil, this time talking about the period of the 1760s to 1808. With the good teacher ministering this subject, I am sure at least I will have a good time learning more on the subject.

And, I think this is a good and positive way of opening this month, we better take the good as we can, given the concerning trends of late August. Maybe a good time to wrap today's journal entry? I suppose! Of course, you don't need to worry or to miss me, as I will be back sooner rather than later, hopefully before the weekend. Thank you for being here, dear friend, can always count on your company and support! I wish you the best, and I see you again real soon! Cheers.
