Welp, this week was very busy and very free at the same time, so I didn't write any blog posts in between at all!
This week I asked for a few days of vacation and I catched up with some friends I hadn’t seen in ages, so it was very different, here’s some notes about it.
💻 I only worked two days this week before my vacation time, they were a couple of relatively uneventful days, but there was actually a lot of stuff going on waiting for me once I got back. My workmate got my back though and things haven’t been that bad since my return today.
🛋 I went on vacation and stayed in a hotel with a group of friends. It was nice to actually have some days to rest for once, no family appointments or anything like that.
🫂 Connecting again with my friends was honestly the highlight of my week. I hadn’t seem them in ages, it was a pretty awesome time, catching up, sharing how is life now that some of us have jobs, remembering how we met and the like while having dinner, such a wonderful time.
🃏 I showed my friends how to play Oh Hell and Egyptian Ratscrew, they were a complete success! We also played Spoons and I played Spit with one of them a couple times.
🎲 Another friend had a dice game called Qwixx and it was pretty fun! It’s like Bingo but with a bit more strategy and decision making on it, might get it soon.
🎾 I also played some sports! I tried Tennis for the first time! The hotel let us borrow some rackets to play a bit. I also played a few soccer matches, even managed to score a couple goals, and did some basketball too, but I’m worse at that one. It worked well to replace going to the gym this week!
🏸 After the vacation time we still went out on Sunday to a quinta—there were some baptisms at my church. After the service we played some Exploding Kittens, and Badminton too!
💭 On a kinda serious note, this week, I thought a lot more seriously about the kind of person I wish to marry, and the kind of man I hope to become for them. Kinda strange but, well, yeah.
📖 Reading
Cibola Burn - read until chapter 9, still going at it, even though I didn’t read it as much as I could, because gaming and vacation time.
Usogui - read until chapter 25, still pretty interesting and high stakes, it’s just a pretty fun read where tension rises after every page. Cool stuff.
🕹 Gaming
Hollow Knight remained strong even during my vacation time! I had a few hours of rest that wasn’t spent on outdoor activities or social interaction, so yeah, I managed to progress quite a bit! I am currently exploring Deepnest.
Hades is great! I finally managed to defeat Hades himself once, so I’ve made some nice progress in the story and I have been doing a couple more runs as well. I let one of my friends try his luck and he had quite a bit of fun playing it, but I left him wanting more.
Astro Boy: Omega Factor got played less than an hour this week, it happens sometimes.
Super Mario 3D World is my current choice for couch multiplayer gaming, it just works, and it’s super fast to get it started too.
Last year I made a deal to not buy any new games, at least until I went through some of the games I already own, here are some updates regarding the matter
