IRL: A Happy New Year and New Games

Happy New Year! The date I am writing this post is the 6th, so technically the new year has still started. Ah it's so difficult to think I now have to write 2014 instead of 2013. It's always been an issue for me.

So you must be wondering how come I haven't really been posting. Well recently I happened to get a hold of a large collection of games, many of them not bought by me, but for me. Granted I did get a few games myself, such as Ni No Kuni for the PS3. I want to play more than I am now, but because Oppa's second monitor went poop, it's been a hassle to change to the PS3, since we have to do that to his main monitor every time.

Here's a list of games that I had gotten since last post, mostly on Steam:

Bioshock Infinite
Cook, Serve, Delicious!
DayZ
Payday 2
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
Resident Evil 6 w/DLC
Risk of Rain
Starbound
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
Torchlight II
Typing of the Dead: Overkill

A pretty large collection, no? It's awesome. :> Perhaps some time I'll write a quick post/review for one or two of them.

I'm also learning French again using Duolingo! I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn European languages or English!!

I hope to not forget about this blog. It's really awesome to come back and write about things that are happening to me. Whether it be games or dieting or whatever. It's just a great place.

IRL: Diets, motivation and a break in exercise

Welp. I broke it just a couple days ago. T_T Sorry Blogiates...video games are just too good! Today I decided to work on diet. Diet diet diet. And by diet I don't mean actually skimping on meals, but rather a change in meals. Today I had a red and orange bell pepper, broccoli, mushroom and onion stirfry...with red pepper flakes! It was really good actually...I liked it. And from what everyone says, I can have as many vegetables as I please and not worry too much about all those carbs. I like that part of the diet. :>

Other than that, I'm taking advice from JennIm and photographing my food to make sure I'm looking at it with guilt. Yes. Guilt. I'm gonna guilt myself into eating right!

Lastly, I think I realized something that I need to remind myself every day about...this isn't for anyone. I'm not dieting so Oppa will love me more. Oppa already loves me the way I am. I always say to him "Do you hate me?". And by that I should finish it with my real feelings..."Do you hate my body? My looks? My physical presentation? Do I embarrass you? Shame you? I'm sorry..." because that's how I feel when it comes to people who love me. They lie to me and say they're okay with how I look, but inside they think I'm ugly and fat and they don't wanna to be seen with me.

But ya know...Oppa isn't that way. He never has treated me different. So I shouldn't worry. What I should be doing is looking in the mirror and saying that. "Do you hate you? Your looks? Your physical presentation? Do you embarrass yourself? Shame yourself? You're sorry..."

And yes, I am sorry. But being sorry doesn't do anything. Feeling sorry for myself doesn't help the situation at all. With words must come action, let they just be empty. I'm sad I made myself this way, but at the same time, I think that's just what is me. I'm a weak person...but it doesn't mean I can't become someone who is strong. I have to just believe in myself. Be happy with who I am...though unhappy about what I am. But who I am can change what I am. It just takes a little effort and a different mindset.

Be strong.

IRL: Not yet gone

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of posts. I still remember this blog, don't worry! I'm also still playing Pokemon too, just atm finals are killing me. I have so much to do!

But I'm not stressing. Why is because I think I have my life in order. These days have been very interesting. I've got plenty of work to do for Logic. And honestly, that's kind of one of my favorite things to do now. It's so interesting how everything works together. It's just a matter of me doing the work correctly.

Anyway, I started blogiates again today and I really hope I stick with it. It's making me feel pretty good. My body is warm, I've been having breakfast and eating and drinking right. I'm drinking tea again!! :> Listening to good music too!

Exercise is really amazing. It makes me feel like I'm ready to do something. I feel responsible and prepared. I feel ready to take the workload. Granted, it kinda hurts...x_x But ya know what...? I'll do it all one step at a time. Isn't it a little surprising? Exercise is kinda making me feel...how can I say it...relaxed. I feel like I can take on the work load, just a little at a time and I don't really have to stress that badly.

Just work with what you can and the next day is new and you can start working hard again! I have to remind myself to put some leisure time in the middle and not over work myself.

I have to start looking at my body like a temple. I don't want to look at my face and say, "aw, I'm cute. But my body...I want to ignore it". That's just running away. I have to look at what I am, say "I want to change. Today. Why am I running away from something that feels great! And is great FOR me too!". I really, honestly hope this mentality keeps with me all the time. New year resolution...keep up the good work! Don't slack! Be good to yourself as you are to others.

Pokemon Update 6: Lost Hotel

I had this previously posted on the last update, but since it was SOOO big, I decided to dedicate it to its own page. Yes, I managed to get all (but Seviper) the Pokemon I wanted last post, which means this post is pretty big.

Let's start with the story though. Where am I and what happened since last time? Well, I managed to beat Valerie, the leader of the Fairy-type town and got the Fairy badge, my sixth badge in. I'm already managed to get to the new town (a snowy looking one, so it looks like an Ice based gym!!), but hit the Lost Hotel instead of going through all the way. Rumors are that there are trash cans that rattle and Pokemon or items may be in there every day. I have to check every day, since it seems that the legendary Rotom is in them every Tuesday. Gotta remember! Tuesday! Rotom! Lost Hotel! Trash cans! Right! ...Why Tuesdays...?

Anyway, here's a list of the Pokemon that were posted in last update that was taken out, as well as an additional amount of Pokemon that are added since the Lost Hotel:

Horsea -> Seadra @ 32 -> Kingdra @ Dragon Scale
*Deino -> Zweilous @ 50 -> Hydreigon @ 64

Pokemon: Update 5

Again, sorry for not posting for a while. Honestly I've only been playing Pokemon when I 1) eat or 2) take a small break or else I'd go nuts from studying. But here's my progress...story-wise, I just finished beating Lumiose City's gym leader, getting my 5th badge. I'm supposed to go going to the haunted house currently, but am catching Pokemon that I've missed from this point. There are quite a few, including those I didn't get because I didn't have surf or a fishing rod. I'm checking up with mattwritesstuff to make sure I get every Pokemon in every region. Honestly, although he's not someone big like Marriland, his guides are much more informative and generally more accurate. Marriland had me searching for hours for a nonexistent Pokemon for my version before and I didn't exactly like doing that, so I moved to Matt.

Granted, there are some Pokemon that I still can't catch because my fishing rod isn't good enough (not super yet, at good), but I'm trying to get the ones that I can with what I have.

Here are the Pokemon that I caught since the last Pokemon post:

Clamperl -> Huntail w/DeepSeaTooth
Clamperl ->Gorebyss w/DeepSeaScale item
*Tyrunt -> Tyrantrum @ 39
*Starly (already have a Staravia, so I'm not leveling this one up or need to breed, just recording)
**Throh
*Flygon (going to level Trapinch for Vibrava)
Skorupi -> Drapion @ 40
~Quagsire (<- Wooper @ 20)
Bellsprout -> Weepinbell @ 24 -> Victreebel w/Leaf Stone
Carnivine
Stunfisk
~Watchog (<- Patrat @ 20)
~*Jynx (<- Smoochum @ 30)
*Ditto
*Binacle -> Binbaracle @ 39
Remoraid -> Octillery @ 25
Clauncher -> Clawitzer @ 37
Stunky -> Skuntank @ 34
Wailmer -> Wailord @ 40
Tallow -> Swellow @ 32

*Wonder Traded
*Local Traded
~Need to be breeded for previous Pokemon

Evolutions that happened since last Poke post:

Braixen to Delphox
Wartortle to Blastoise
Pancham to Pangoro
Gloom to Vileplume
Honedge to Doublade
Sandile to Krokorok
Ducklett to Swanna

Long list of Pokemon I'm going back to look for:

Horsea, Staryu (Route 8, Fishing);
Bagon [Grass], Seviper [Flower/Yellow], Taillow [Flower/Yellow] (Route 8);
Horsea (Ambrette Town, Fishing);
Goldeen, Carvanha, Magikarp (Route 22, Fishing);
Masquerain[Surfing], Corphish, Crawdaunt [Fishing] (Route 3);
Eevee [Both Flowers], Yanma [Grass] (Route 10);
