In Which One Begins 2026 Business as Usual: Ora et Labora on the Unknown

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post! Happy  first day of January and 2026! Hope your last one of 2025 went fine? Do let me know! As for me, the beginning of 2026 was one where I slept through most of it, or at least did my try on napping, because the noise was great. I spent the firework moments at my grandma's apartment, but we did not see much of each other during that moment, she went downstairs for a small gathering with her neighbors, and the neighbors had an appaling taste in background music. I was tired and with not much patience for doing anything, so I retired to my own room here, and then went for the balcony to see the beautiful spectacle. In comparison to last year, it was much less "magical" so to speak, given I already knew the procedures from 2024-2025. I think for me it went business as usual for a special day, grandma was stressed out due to the food she had to take downstairs, I was abliged to help with some preparations, on my end, I...

In which we talk about Coloring Pencils and Christmas Gifts

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday! What a lovely moment! Happy December and happy Christmas season, the best moment there is! How are you? I do wish you the best, and I hope the weather is mild and calm winds refresh your home! I have some stuff I'd like to chat with you guys! Let's jump to it, shall we?

Today I bought, for the first time, Airpods, to mostly replace the earphones I currently use. My current Earphones are okay, just are not doing too well quality wise, which is never a good thing. One bad thing about my purchase is that I spent a lot of money on it, more than I was willing to spend, basically spending most of my Christmas money on it. Made me sad and stressed out. Time will tell if I made the right decision or not, that's for sure! As there is nothing much on the horizon that I'd like to spend my money with (of course, I'd like a new phone, but a new phone is gonna take me a while to save enough to get it) and I still have some money left, hopefully it will take a while before I spend it, and also, I hope to not spend it on food! Specially because I really do need to lose weight! My situation this December is not ideal, you can't have a perfect Christmas season, can you? I will eat some food this Christmas, of course, but I'll try to not overeat and stuff, that wouldn't be ideal at all! I was thinking of getting new color pencils as well, but I have so many already! Can you have enough of them, though? If you ask my pencil case, he'd say "Daniel, that's enough" the poor thing is so packed with stuff!

One good thing for today, I mentioned above that I want a new phone, but my current phone, not only is beloved by me, but also is still kicking hard, even if I got it in like 2017, 3 years ago! The memory is still not even half full, which is amazing, and I have the cloud, that helps. I'm getting worried with the fact it will soon be outdated, BUT well, like I said, my particular phone is still kicking!

One last thing, I was chatting with someone about color pencils, and I want to share some knowledge here as well, when you color, make sure you do the circular moves, not the straight one, as the circular move allows for a lot more freedom when coloring! If you color it on straightline, you must do it on one direction, or else the change in direction will show, and will be ugly most of the time! The freedom of movement is not the only benefit, it also allows for better results when merging colors! If you want to do a gradient and so on, it is really helpful to do it in circular movements! 

I am thinking about what to write next on the blog, my mood switches from moment to moment, but I'm thinking about writing on the campaign of Anno 1404, when I was a kid I thought "wow this is so well made" but today I'm like "this is so dumb!" This is for another post though! As for today, it's getting a bit long, so I'll end the post here, I wish you the best, and I bid you farewell!
