Change of website name

It's almost 5 months since I have started to blog again. It has been fun trying to achieve more than I did last year. I am amazed at how many games I have played so far. I can't even count how many I played last year since I can't remember what I played. I been posting smaller projects for crafts since I haven't done anything big yet. I will be posting a much larger project soon and I can't wait to get started on that.

I decided to change the name of the website now that I have a bit of content posted. I figured that the new name would help define what I'm trying to do. I went through a bunch of variations but I think Quest was the most appropriate. I feel like I'm on a quest/path/journey learning about different things. Also I seem to be posting quite a bit on games versus crafts so it felt more appropriate.

I realized the quality of some of my photos are terrible. I don't know when I'll get a better camera but the one I am currently using is from 8 years ago or so. I tried using my sister's phone and was shocked at how much better quality her phone camera was. When I do get a better camera, I'll be able to retake a bunch of pictures in higher quality.

Until next time.

Weekend Fun

This past weekend, Nintendo World Store had a doubles tournament for Super Smash Bros for Wii U. At first, I was thinking J and I both should try to enter. Upon inquiring about more details, it seemed like a pain to be the first 128 players lined up early on Saturday. We lived about 4 hours away from the store so it wasn't exactly easy to get there early in the morning. Also we realized if we lost early, then we would just end up heading back early. It would be a waste of time. Instead, we decided we rather play with our friends.

Back From My Brother's Graduation

I'm not even sure where to begin on this one. My family decided to drive 11 hours (more like 21 hours) to my brother's graduation. Terrible idea. Never drive that far. I drove for a few hours and was stuck in traffic for the majority of it. Also my dad likes to avoid tolls which is why it was 11 hours. On the way back we just said pay the tolls which was 10 hours instead (about 16 hours). It was horrible getting lost often.

Happy New Year! + Unfortunate Event

Happy Chinese/Lunar New Year!

After being home for the last week, I felt so deprived of space! Also my brain felt bored since I was limited on what I could do. I mostly played games during the week on my 3DS, PS Vita and my brother's laptop. The only other thing I could have done was to venture out in the freezing cold...which I did not want to do.

Leftovers. Those shrimp are huge, we had smaller ones the night before.

The celebration was done the night before rather than the day of. My dad had work on New Years so we did a big dinner the night before. Surprisingly the dinner wasn't as extravagant as previous years, there was no fish but there was lots of shrimp. It might be due to my brother not being around so there was no need for so much food. He hates seafood anyways so I don't think it would have changed anything. Sadly, I should have photographed more of the food but by the time I realized, it was too late and everything was leftovers.

Current update - Home for Lunar New Year

I have been slacking a bit on my writing for the past week. I'll try to pump out a few more posts as soon as I can but I am currently at home (with my parents). Since the Lunar New Year is coming up this week, February 19, my mom was dead set on me being home. Well either way I would have came back just for the food. So good! This upcoming year is the year of the Sheep/Ram. I hope it's another good year regardless if my luck is up or down.

Moving done!

The past 2 weeks were hectic with finding a new apartment (fast) and move in by February. We were lucky and found a place we liked within four apartments complexes we looked at. The first one we liked but no availability. The second one was the one we chose which we had a tough choice between $80 in rent but of course we chose the cheaper one. Expensive one was nicer! Anyways, the third one was okay but for the price it was expensive. The fourth was actually considered but that weird size for a living room wasn't my favorite (it was small).

Cooking in winter in my own Apartment - A letter

Dear Apartment,

I'm not sure what the deal with last night is but it was completely unacceptable. Around 10 pm last night as I was playing Super Smash Bros with my boyfriend, you decided to increase the heat to 80 degrees Fahrenheit despite only being set to 70. I get it, the event match on hard mode was a heated battle but no need to raise the temperature above what I set it as. At this point, I lowered it to 68 hoping you would stop. I even had to open the door and window just to get some heat out before I went to sleep at 11 pm. It was about 25 degrees outside and 80 degrees inside at this point. It's such a waste of heat!

New Start

It's been half a year since I've posted anything. I plan to start up again even if it is temporary. I ended up having sleeping problems and did not have much ideas for making anything. I realize this blog was moving towards an more artistic side. This time I will probably post more about games. The other blog I started with my boyfriend died quite quickly. I think it only lasted a month. I would post gaming stuff on that blog but there wouldn't be a point in including him if he was never going to post. I may end up moving the posts to this blog just for easier management. Of course with his permission too.

We are also planning to move so I won't be able to post much until next month. Moving from Ohio back to New York is going to be a very painful long drive.

Hoping for a great new start in a new place.
