On the outside
Its not easy being on the other side. The past 4 months have been really tough for me. Just when I thought that it was a good idea to leave the company, I think that decision is coming back to bite me. If not for the apartments I would be in dire straits right now. Still, I'm not whining. Its part of the cycle of life. Ups and downs, lefts and rights ins and outs. I've been retracing my steps, what went wrong, and the usual what ifs. It's too late to think about it but that's the irony of it.
I've also noticed how other people start to treat me. Just because I don't have a job, they're starting to see me as a nuisance when I ask for help. Sigh. Again, the cruel fate of the world. Many people are your friends when they need something from you but when the role is turned around, they see you as a maggot.
So what have I been doing this past week? I finally finished Valkyria Chronicles. It truly is one of the best strategy RPGs ever. An action packed game with deep character development. A rich historical background of an alternate world war 2 Europe and a dramatic heart warming story. Best of all, it's got the style of what "portrait" Anime would look like. The one part that I could never forget was when Welkin and Alicia were in the woods separated from their squad when a lone Imperial enemy soldier walked in on them. He was mortally wounded and delirous. Instead of turning a blind eye, Welkin and Alicia try to nurse him to health but his would is too grave. He is on the virge of death when he calls out for his mother. Alicia assumes that role and gently comforts him as he passes away with a smile. Moments later, the enemy squad closes in on them and finds their departed comrade properly buried. The enemy commander was touched that Welkin and Alicia had done this for his soldier that they postpone their clash and go separate ways. Sigh. I keep watching that scene over and over. It just somehow moves me into tears.
A shoutout to Hid3o for graciously letting me use his internet at his home so I could update my PS3 stuff. If not for him I would have gone insane. I was able to download some new videos from PSN and new game demos like Red Alert 3 and Tom Clancy's Hawx. It looks like I'll be backlogged for a while until I get a job to fuel my gaming needs.
Signing off for now and hopefully I can get to pay my internet bill next week so I can get my service back. As always ceasingly pray.
