Various Happenings

Me

So, Ramadan is over and we finally celebrated Eid a week ago. It was a fun day. I spent the day with Sudman and Rasidul. Nazmul also hung out with us for a while. At night, we went to my cousin’s house. Since his house is right next to my friend Einul’s, we hung out there instead. (It’s not fun in my cousin’s house.)

I had gotten a haircut the day before because I was tired of my long hair. As I’d expected, I had angered many of my friends. What I didn’t expect was the amount of comments I got from people who’d never said anything about my hair before. I guess change is good. It’s still hard to decide between keeping it short for a while or growing it out again.

Of course, the photo above is one of the first photos of my new haircut. I got back a roll of photos today and put them up on Flickr for your viewing pleasure. I’m actually surprised at the amount of photos that came out nice this time around. Hopefully, I’ll be getting my LC-A fixed sooner and have more than just indoor shots to show off.

What have I been doing lately? Well, I’ve been caught up in schoolwork. Junior year’s very harsh. Definitely don’t wanna slack off this year. It will hurt you. Of course, I’ve also been playing Phantom Hourglass. Although I really like it, the length of the game is disappointing. It’s way shorter than I expected. I honestly think Nintendo could’ve spent more of their time working on the gameplay than the little enhancements. We barely get to use all the little features they spent so much time on. That’s just what I think.

Also, In Rainbows is just awesome. It’s definitely something to listen to. I’ve had the songs stuck in my head since I got the album. I even went as far as putting the whole thing on my phone.

Pokémon is Fun

Though I’m almost 16 now, I still like playing Pokémon. It’s been around 8 years since I got my first Pokémon game. I remember that, back then, you needed to use a game link cable to play with your friends.

I got Pokémon Pearl when it came out last Sunday. I’d have to say the best part of the game is that you can battle with friends over the internet. Not only that, but you can do voice chat with them. It might not seem like a big advancement to the newer, younger players, but it’s a cool feature for veterans like me. The game’s come a long way in ten years, that’s for sure.

I’d be happy to share my friend code with anyone who wants to play. Make sure you leave your email address when you comment.
