BLOG -- Recap of October

Early October was very rough for me. Then things got better in the last two weeks. Life actually feels a bit more balanced surprisingly. At least for now. Fingers crossed that it stays that way! @__@

Outings/Events in October:

- Hung out with friends overall x2.

- Had a vacation that didn't feel like a vacation for the most part.

- Attended my Grandfather's wake and funeral.

- Said good-bye to another co-worker *sniffle* ;_________;

- Went karaoking with a friend.

- Had a game day with my sister, her hubby, and a friend.

- Played a belated birthday prank on a good co-worker friend.

- Created a Twitch account and followed StephenGeorg.

- Stayed over at my sister's place x2.


- Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn achievements / news: 
-I re-subbed for the Halloween event. Hopefully I'll do more while I'm re-subbed, hahaha...

- Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius achievements / news: 
-My rank is currently 169 (yay I can leave the game alone for 14 hours 30 mins)
-I got a number of rainbows while trying to pull for the Valkyrie Profile banner, but... not enough of the rainbows were Valkyrie Profile banner units... ! I spent over 250+ summoning tickets pulling and was not satisfied. If I was calculating each summoning ticket to be 500 lapis, then I would have spent over 125,000 lapis on this banner... I only really wanted at least two Freyas... u_______u
-The rest of my tickets will be for the Nier banner (please please please come!).

Exposures:

- (Game): Super Mario Party -- This was okay. I'd say it was better than the last Mario Party game, but for some reason, it didn't feel like there was much variety to the boards. I LOVE the rhythm mini-games, though! Rhythm Heaven protoype for Switch right there! :3

Finished...

Watching:

- (Movie): The House With a Clock in Its Walls -- I love the message, although some plot points were predictable. I don't think I could ever define myself as "normal", haha. 

Playing:

- (PS2): Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm -- Some parts were very repetitive, but overall I really enjoyed this game a lot. Even more than the 2nd game, even though this game was much simpler I think.

That's it for October. Here are a few pics I took this month, plus a YouTube video. I was super tempted to share a video from StephenVlogs, hahaha. Maybe next time :3

My belated birthday prank for my co-worker friend.
They are Post-It notes with "DOOM!" crossed out and 
"Happy Belated Birthday!" written.

Another shot of my prank. It took about 600 mini Post-Its
to cover that door. And each Post-It has "Happy Belated Birthday!"
written on it. :3

Two co-workers who dressed up for Halloween.

Left is a unicorn and right is the fox from Fantastic Mr. Fox.

"Parting" from 428: Shibuya Scramble.

After listening to the whole soundtrack, I am surprised that I frequently

come back to this track.

Thanks for reading!

As usual, if you have any questions / comments about anything, feel free. :)

Hope your Halloween was swell and until next time! :3
