April highlights ๑˚⊹
✦ Four months of daily reels
Another complete month of daily reels. I may have some late days, but overall I was still able to document each day and that's all that matters.
✦ Streaming more and more
I streamed lots this week! I'm getting more active again which I'm pretty happy about.
✦ Drew premade apex emotes
I published my first pre-made emotes featuring Wraith from Apex. I was planning on using a single base to draw every character, but I got so much more to work so it might be in the back burner for now.
✦ Another month of treadmill!
I was able to consistently walk on the treadmill this month. It's becoming second nature to go downstairs and walk after breakfast, which I'm pretty proud of. That's what I wanted and now I'm reaping the benefits of my hard work.
✦ Wrote more blogs
I wrote some half-rant blogs that I felt pretty proud of. I'm gonna be honest, sometimes I see my own blogs on my RSS feed and it freaks me out lol.
✦ Practiced apex movement
I'm trying to slowly learn to practice and incorporate movement in my games. So far I haven't really gotten it yet; I keep forgetting to do it during fights. But I'll keep on trying because that's what matters.
✦ Started playing Apex Ranked
I'm currently playing with Flashy and Shelly. We started in Rookie, and after two days we got to Bronze. I'm quite happy with my performance; I've been trying my best to adapt to their play style and get on some fights. I got kills, and we're all kind of leveling at the same time which means I'm not falling behind (yet)! My competitive nature is oozing, I actually like this environment..
✦ Vacation!
For my mom's birthday, they've decided to celebrate it in the US with my bedridden uncle. Two of my relatives from the Philippines joined us, so it was like a mini reunion over there. We went on a painstakingly long 24+ hour with sight-seeing stopovers, and I spent most of my hours in the car sleeping.
✦ Starting over
On the last week of April, I went through an instant revelation that would completely change the trajectory of my current life. When I started this year I wanted to feel happier and live a slow, comfortable life. But a drastic shift in perspective forcefully ended this chapter to write the next one. No more relaxing days, no more taking my time. I need to grind this new life in order to achieve true happiness, which is financial stability from fulfilling my dreams. I'm going to push myself to work harder than ever before and sacrifice even just a little bit, endure the pain and discomfort for the sake of this future.
finalnotes I don't feel like I did a lot. Editing this during the first week of May and I can't remember anything special or out of ordinary. Maybe I'll edit in the future if I recall something I forgot, but at the moment, this is all I have (which is unlikely to happen since I think I wrote this before I left home).
