What Are You Happy About Today?

☾ I finished my team flag entry and I’m proud of how it turned out. These teams have potential to be represented with the best flags, partly due to the creative names. I can’t wait for them to show up on the leaderboard.
☾ I have a Mario Kart session after work today! I chose the latest session since I didn’t want to risk the 9:00 PM session. Mario Kart is my favorite game right now so I’m looking forward to playing with everyone.
☾ I tried a new food today! I ended up having breakfast at Panera Bread and decided on the Bacon Mac and Cheese. Yes, I’m the one customer that gets non-breakfast items, sometimes as early as 7:00 AM. I’m sure I annoy employees with my decisions, but it was on the menu this early! And yes, that is a Pink Drink. It’s a little more pink than usual. I was hoping it’d be more balanced, but it’s alright.

Don’t worry about the Mario Party session. Even the competitive sessions are for fun with higher stakes. I’m not the best at mini games so I have to strategize differently. I participated in the last session and had fun, although playing a little dirty by stealing pipes and going out of my way to see Boo, lmao. Try not to worry too much about placement. I was stressed about the two on two mini games since I have trouble with a few of them, but I realized I was overthinking it.
 
My moods been all over the place but still some things to be happy about. From yesterday:
Yesterday was a great day off. I was able to get a good night sleep. Went out for breakfast with some friends. Had these really great pancakes with strawberries. Got some errands done after. Aurora’s favorite cookies are on sale so got her two boxes of them since they were bogo . Bought myself Pokemon Violet since I have been thinking about it for awhile. It lifted my mood . Going to see if I can try and find some shiny Pokemon for the event. I haven’t gotten very far since I keep getting sidetracked exploring. I didn’t look into where you can find any of the Pokemon since I wanted to find them myself. Was so happy to find Azurill so early on. We went on an evening walk and Aurora hit to play with her friend Harley . Hope everyone has a great day.

I’ll have more probably to post later, but right now I have some things to post that I’m happy about šŸ™‚.

I’m happy I was able to host a ACNH friendlies hide and seek and that I had a lot of fun. I was really nervous about hosting; I was kinda overwhelmed by the things we needed to do like what photos to submit, rules, but it ended up being easy. I still was a bit embarrassed about the flower and fossil mess on my island and that it isn’t finished but everything ended up good! šŸ™‚ I received some really nice comments about my island too ā˜ŗļø. I’m really grateful for everyone’s patience since it took some time to organize and find out the availability of everyone.

I’m happy that during the event, I made some more friends to play Splatoon with and maybe Pokemon too! šŸ™‚ I’ve been enjoying chatting to them

I didn’t get sleep yet (will be soon šŸ˜…) but I’m feeling much better than I was earlier; my mood feels more stable. I’m still sad but the hide and seek session helped take my mind off of that and cheered me up. I’m really going to miss this event when it is done; I wish it could be a few more weeks longer. I’m having so much fun! ā˜ŗļø

I’ve been enjoying playing Pokemon Arceus again. I decided to try shiny hunt a little; no luck yet. I I feel like they might’ve patched or nerfed something since I last played it šŸ¤”. The method I used to farm them before doesn’t seem to be helping as far as I can tell. Regardless, it is still nice to play again while waiting for my copy of Pokemon Violet to arrive šŸ™‚.
 
Here's what happened over the past few days.

5/17/24:
- I went to a marketplace in Doha where I ate some yummy Arabic food, and someone bought me a souvenir. The merchant even offered a discount.

- Watched some kids riding on camels.
- This pigeon perched on a nest near the window.

5/19/24:
- Worked out at the gym and lifted some heavier weights.
- Began a sketch of Tom Cruise that I'll post here soon.

Today:
- Went swimming at the pool and practiced different styles like front crawl and backstroke.
- Played PokƩmon Scarlet and caught a Glastrier. In addition, I synced up with my team members using the Syncro Machine. Basically, this feature allows you to play as your PokƩmon and you can run around, battle wild Pokes, and collect items. However, you can only use it if you have purchased the DLC and only in the biomes. Hopefully, the future PokƩmon games will include this feature cuz it's so fun and kind of reminds me of playing Mystery Dungeon.

☾ Collected all the salads in Cozy Grove, and expanded the island again! I just met Bruin Tram, and seem to be getting deeper into Patrice’s story too and... oh boy

☾ Had lots of fun gaming in the TBTWC today!! I got to play through another game of Quiplash during the Jackbox session, and played lots of hide and seek in both ACNH (competitive and friendly!) and Among Us!! It was such an absolute blast ;w; Also got to spectate in a few streams (and am about to spectate another before it's time for bed)!

☾ My mom and I watched Markiplier’s new That’s Not My Neighbor video! We watched some other shorter Youtube videos with my dad over dinner too c:
 
- Yesterday I was low on sleep and had the option to do an easier workout at the gym, but my energy came back to me a bit and I went with the more difficult workout instead. šŸ’Ŗ

- @Foreverfox The Dallas Mavericks took care of the Minnesota Timberwolves in game one of the WCF 108-105!! Behind stellar efforts by Kyrie in the first half and Luka in the second, and the supporting cast, they got the job done. šŸ€ šŸ”„

- I fed my kitties their favorite food and had delicious Asian food for dinner. šŸœ

- Going to try out Wuthering Waves soon and see how good it is. šŸŽ®

- Excited to play my Smash tournament match with Lambda soon as well! 🄊

The one thing about me is that I always bounce back. 😤
 
My mood has gone down since earlier but it has been good for the majority of the day, so I’m happy about that. šŸ™‚

I did a rainmaker match in Splatoon and I was able to deliver the Rainmaker to the destination 🄳 (many thanks to my team for helping protect me šŸ™; I thought I was going to be splatted near the end 😭). I’m really happy since I think the friendlies helped me understand better what to do (as I mentioned the other day and that when we did it, I had no idea we were actually doing a game that the host made šŸ˜…).

The plush I had ordered from Inari arrived today šŸ™‚ (she is the artist who gave away small commemorative art bundles of Ferdinand von Aegir from Fe3H to some fans of Billy Kametz, some time after he passed away).

It’s a mochi plus of Hubert from Fe3H, except as a cat šŸ™‚. She made a puppy plush of Ferdinand too; I love both of them but opted for just Hubert for now šŸ™‚.

I enjoyed watching some of the tbtwc streams today! šŸ™‚

Friday I have some more splatoon sessions. :D I’m looking forward to Friday’s Mario Party session (thanks so much @Croconaw for the reassurance earlier! I feel much better now and less nervous and congrats on second place! 🄳).

I’m happy both my cats are in my room ā˜ŗļø. They haven’t been spending a lot of time in my room during the day since they’ve been enjoying sitting in the windows, which is okay; I just get a bit jealous since I like having them with me all the time šŸ˜…šŸ˜¹.

I’ve been a bit more anxious than usual with all the games I’m trying to manage and not have conflict with each other, about earning enough points, and also dealing off and on with depression; I’m happy & grateful for everyone’s patience and kindness about, not to mention the support. šŸ™‚

* I will explain why in tomorrow's report, but I am ready for tomorrow to get here >_<

* I have over 1,000TBT saved! šŸ„³šŸŽŠšŸ’°

* I started watching an AC:GC Let's Play, where Apollo (my #1 favorite villager) was only of their starters (I have him in all 5 mainline games <333) -- and the player got some dialogue from him, where he (Apollo) said one of my favorite words: Rigamarole šŸ˜šŸ˜‚šŸ’–šŸ’•
 
Kinda low-key stressed about my assignment right now, so here's some things that I'm happy about!

- Managed to stay up last night and finish my flag! Ik there are better ones submitted, I'm pretty proud of how it turned out 😊 I'm getting better at stopping myself from overshading!

- Hosted an acnh hide and seek last night! Only three people were found due to my very cluttered, difficult to navigate island. I'm sorry Mistreil But I had a lot of fun, and everyone was so kind about my island, which I appreciated a lot and it made my night šŸ’š

- Played a round of mario party this morning and won! I love mp but don't get to play it too often, so it was a lot of fun playing and chatting with Xara, Foreverfox and Mistreil.

- Had nachos for dinner and someone bought me mint slice as a study snack which was so sweet of them ;u;

- Also made my emote as a quick break. I just drew something that made me laugh
