Yeah, we're talking about the game as well. Many, many years ago, when I was a kid, my elementary school pulled our grade level into the scouting program of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP). At the time, I was really excited about the idea of being a boy scout, and at the time, a lot of that was influenced by media, specifically cartoons such as the movie Up and the Camp Lazlo cartoon. There were probably a lot of others, but you get the point. I had always wondered what it would be like to be a scout, go camping, tie knots, and so on. It was mostly from an American lens, since my only frame of reference was how the Boy Scouts of America was depicted in media; however, the enthusiasm was there! Long story short... it was sort of meh. I was in the scouting program for only like, 2-3 years until I transferred schools for 7th grade, and we didn't do much. The days we got to don the scout uniform were rare throughout the school year, and it mostly stayed in the bac...
This article was from a project for school The world is in a bad spot right now. A pandemic has infected and killed millions of people throughout the globe and headlines constantly flash bad news like the new COVID variant, failed government action, and a possible lockdown. To be honest, I am very much tired of all of it! All of this anxiety and uncertainty while juggling the struggles of online classes (like cramming this feature article) is not helping me cope with the dumpster fire we call home. But! And that’s a big “but”! Out of all the reasons I have to constantly live depressed, cold, and apathetic, there is one thing I look forward to during the weekends. And that is: destroying evil lizard cultists, singing cringey ballads, and failing dice rolls alongside my friends in the mystical world of Dungeons and Dragons. Now some of you may be wondering, “What the hecks that?” or “Is that the game from Stranger Things???”. First, yes, yes...
here we go again... Right. First blog post of the year. It was already very uneventful and full of work and all of a sudden a ton of bullshit suddenly came crashing through by the time my academic break for this trimester came rolling along. In the past month since the beginning of this wonderful year, we've had the rise and fall of the omicron variant; the Philippine General Elections; and now the whole world suddenly exploding again because the Russians decided to invade Ukraine after aggressively teasing it for the past few weeks prior to literally a few days ago as of writing. Literally nothing much can be said about it, as it was already to be expected. I never really imagined 2022 to being the mega year the entire planet would pull its boot straps together and sing so hard all the problemos go away. Shit is still bound to happen. The most I have expected was further disappointments with maybe some pleasurable moments tucked somewhere in the side lines. Let's just say tha...
