I have taken down some of my blogs, I don't know, I just suddenly feel like those thoughts should be kept to myself. You could still figure out a way to read them if you want. It just isn't gonna be visible here.

Life Update??

I can't believe it's been half a year. No, I am not busy. I just like.. lost passion. Not only in writing blogs and doing my website, I lost passion for literally everything??

I think it's the combined power of physical and mental health both deteriorating that made me hit rock bottom. Well I'm not going to talk about that for long because it's just going to bring the place negative energy. Just sum it up, as my mental health got worse because of stress and numbing loneliness emptiness that I can't even find the source of (Be real here, I'm almost perfectly happy half a year ago, it came out of fucking nowhere.) they affected my physical health, because I'm a kind of person that can't handle any kind of stress without abandoning all my hygiene and the sense of how to take care of myself. Consequentially, seeing the state of my health and body and physical appearance fucking depressed me, so the mental health got even worse too. And that's the cycle I can't find my way out of. even now. So I just abandoned all life goal and cried myself to sleep every night. Seems great.

Back to what this is supposed to be about. Life update. Let's rewind back time a little.

June

From June to November, I was mainly doing school. I'd say June is one of the better month of the year. I went out with my friend after school a lot, had fun question mark (?)

July

Shaved my eyebrows again, just felt like it. This is going to sound weird, but I feel like I looked really good back then. It made me feel bad haha.

There's a project which I had to make a math board game for middle school kids. I chose to make one based off the already existing game 'Lucky Number', basically just a DIY version with a few tweaks and added Math themes, it was fun making the board and coins, and making the instructions. Just a really fun project :D

My iPad was broken too, I had it for 7 years now, and it held up so well considering how many time I accidentally made it fell to the ground / and how rough I used it. It served me well! But the thing battery life was not only at the end of it life, I can lived with that. The touchscreen became completely broken, like constantly ghost-typing to the point where I had to eventually gave up. So I got a new one.

August

This is the month that things started to change. First, my family adopted a cat, his name is Latte, and he's a very antisocial cat? I had no idea what happened to him before he was with us, but he'd constantly ran away if anyone got close to him in a one metre radius. He was still really cute though. I ate a lot of Taco Bell for some reason, I just like eating sodium I guess, I know it's bad for my health but I can't stop. Maybe that's why my skin condition went to shit too, but I'm too afraid to blame it on Taco Bell, since I literally can't live without it.

I got hyperfixated on Nendoroids?? Obviously I didn't have much money to buy like tens of them, so for the entire year after this month I bought three, and two ymy bjd bodies, along with clothes and stuff. Made it my whole personality for a couple months. I thought I'd gone broke with this interest, but truth be told, after getting all the main characters I'm inlove with (which are only two) I'm kinda finished with it lmao. I have no desire of buying any new Nendos like at all, weird how that worked out.

I started to got into drawing again after doodling in class last month. I tried creating OCs and things like how I used to love doing when I was a kid. It was really fun.

September

More drawing!! I completely lost myself in my OCs universe and lores now. At the same time I constantly felt like I used my time in such a stupid way when I should be studying and thing, but it was too fun I can't help it. It's all I think about these days. I also started using Toyhou.se, which made me even worse. To be completely honest I feel like I waste so much time on it, but still. Addiction.

October

Green Day is coming to Thailand?? I'm shaking in my boots, took out my savings and got myself a nice concert tix xD This month was mostly drawing also. I don't have much going on.

There was one group assignment where we had to make videos on AI, or be a content creator?? I generally dislike the idea of AI, but mostly making a content just seem more fun. So I did one with my friends where we cooked something with one blind, one mute, and one deaf. I was the deaf one and we made a red velvet cake which taste so fucking bad?? The clip wasn't funny at all and it taught me that I'm not supposed to be a content creator since I have zero sense of humor, but doing it was fun though.

I went on a three days vacation with my family, like big family, because one of the relatives got a house in KhaoYai and we're free to stay there. More like a big babysitting job amirite? I had a good time anyway, it mostly consist of ~nature~ sightseeing and things.

November

A whole lot of nothing. Not much going on, I just went on each day. Some how got sick because I caught an influenza (is that the word?) and I was admitted to a hospital, stayed there for a whole freaking week.

December

I finally got my winter break. In reality there should be a break in October, but my school decided to be weird and quirky by not having a normal break like every other school, and moved the break to December instead, which include New Year. That mean we got less break than other schools, I want to be petty, but then remember I don't have to go to school on Monday at all, so I kind of understand.

I went to Osaka, which is awesome, but it was so freaking cold I was frozen to death. It was around 9 celsius most of the day, some might saw that as normal but my Thai ass is only used to 35 celsius temperature, nothing less that that T_T I had fun but I mostly felt like.. I missed a lot of things? Like I didn't take any cool pictures or bought thing I really like. I regret not doing things I actually wanted to do.

What I was excited about is, I bought a CD player from a shop in Kyoto, and my dumbarse doesn't realized that Japan voltage is different from Thailand before buying it. Good thing I realized that before plugging it in so I didn't broke it. Waited a few days for the adapter to arrived and good to go. I just really like it, it's a Kenwood model and can play Bluetooth, which is the only thing I want honestly, since I already want a bluetooth speaker before, so this can function as both. It doesn't sound particularly great, but it was enough for me. I don't really like using headphones when I'm alone.

The day I landed in Bangkok, I went to my old school's fair which had free concerts and stuff but I mainly went to see my old friends. I don't want to end it depressingly, but yeah.. I felt really bad about it. I felt like, apart from my best friend, no one wanted to see me? Like I tagged along with two other friends who were in the same class as me, and every classmates who're still in the same school greeted them, but not me. I remembered it was always like that back then too, don't know why I bothered. I don't know why I started to think I used to have friends. Some I remembered them as very friendly to me and I thought we were close. I guess my memories served me wrong.

Here to yap

I'm totally addicted to idle games??? I stumbled upon the r/incremental_games subreddit and just- I've spent all of my times playing them nonstop. Like every hour I have to check on the profit I made.

My best experience with an idle game is Melvor Idle, which I have yet to 100% because I'm stuck on Into The Mist dungeon which can't be idle (ugh) but that's another thing. The thing is I want something new to play, so I downloaded a bunch of them on my phone to tried it out. Why phone? well I tried out a lot of idle games on desktop and they're usually better obviously but I want to play it while I'm in the toilet (lmao)

Another reason is my laptop SUCKS, it literally can't run anything especially 3d graphics. Just playing Cookie Clicker ffs and its already sounds like burning up even with the lowest settings. Games on Itch.io are also incredibly awesome I've been playing a lot of them too. The thing about this post is I play idle games (or you can call it 'incremental games' to look cooler) on my phone and I feel like I have no life so I need to expressed it.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Here's my reviews of some I've tried out, they're all free games on IOS because I'm broke.

Idle Apocalypse - I've never seen an idle games in this style before which is interesting, the game progression is very nice too - I'm always a sucker for an idle game that has an inventory I guess, you manage a system that one items makes another and you use them to get new things / upgrade etc. There's also a nice balance of decision making and idling which I like.

Idle Mastermind - The concept is really unique, you play as an villain mastermind - building your lair and robbing the city. I'm not a big fan of the mechanic, I feels like there's not a lot to do and getting new upgrades and things doesn't feel that rewarding, or I just doesn't get how the game works I'm not sure.

Tap Titans - I've seen the review that say this game is like a Clicker Heroes clone 'but better' which I'm not exactly sure about, maybe I haven't delve that far into the game yet but after I'd say ~2 hrs of this game (idling time not included) I already feels bored. Repetitive is a big part of idle game I know I know, but I already feels like I get to know this game enough to move on, even though there might be new mechanics waiting to be introduced later on.

Home Quest - Now this one I'm a bit invested about, it got simple clean UI and not much fancy graphics. I got a bit confused about how to play at the start but they really did a good job organizing / teaching new mechanics so they don't feel overwhelming. Pretty cool game! Unique and have a lot to click on (I always love that) Must less to say, I'm addicted to this game!!

Necromerger - from the same studio as Idle Apocalypse and Idle Mastermind. The game is beautiful!! Merging game is right up my alley and I like having lots of choices. The merging monster you got you can decide to merge them further - or feed it to the 'devouror' to then upgraded the game. I don't think it's that complicated or have insane depth but it's fun, and that's all I care about really.

Leaf Blower Revolution - I've heard a lot of people praising this game, and after playing it, they're well deserved. This game is really cool, zero ads I think. Feels more like the most typical idle game out of all that I've played this week. It scratches the number go up itch in my brain and just blowing leaves around it already fun. LOOOVE it

Out of all the 6 I downloaded, I like Home Quest and Necromerger the most, although I still play all of them since they're all fun. One thing I know is I need to do something productive and stop playing these games all day. They're too addictive!!

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

This is all. Short useless blog I wrote to express how addicted to idle games I am.

Another pain in growing up.

I went on a three days trip with my dad, to Huahin, and to Samut Songkhram.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

12th March

First day arriving at Huahin, went to some seafood restaurant. The food was genuinely sad, as someone who's not picky when it's any of my favorite dish, and I love everything salty. Everything from this place got me bleeding out of my eyes worrying I'm gonna have to cut off my kidney. NOT COOL.

Then my dad and I went to check out the hotel we're staying at, it's a budget hotel so it's not fancy, but honestly it's a lot better than I expected. The place was clean, not small and their ac is very cold ya.

We sat at the cafe around the beach for like an hour until the sun goes down. Then I was craving to dig some sand so I just went like. dig a hole?? honestly I have no idea what was I doing I don't even have tools.

I just start like fucking dig with my hands. Then sandals. Then necklace. I need to do anything to make me feel like I'm alive.

But it doesn't really matter. I still feel out of place. I still feel like I'm not. alive? I want to feel like my life is real, I want to feel like my existence matter. I want to feel like I'm a part of this world.

Midnight market, it's weird because all I can see is white people and the lack of locals (I mean- I only saw them selling things, not actually buying stuff from here.), overpriced items and food. Just pretty odd. There's nothing much. They're selling all kind of cool souvenir stuff, there's clothes and other things as well. They're actually cool. I took some pictures but it'll likely take me a few days to uploading it.

What me and my dad take notices of is how quiet Huahin is.. few years back Huahin used to be a go to vacation place for my family and there's always a bunch of people in the Summer. Is March Summer yet? No Idea because Thailand is always too dang hot it doesn't even matter if it's Summer or not. Just sad to see. Not to mention a bunch of empty advertisement billboard, seeing all of our favorite cafes and places shut down due to lack of tourist.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

13th March

After getting ready we went to eat some breakfast at 'The Baguette' where they sell um. baguette. but they actually have all kind of bread too. I'm not really hungry so I just had garlic bread (made from a baguette) and a corn soup.

It's time to left Huahin, we started heading to Samut Songkhram, stop at another cool restaurant with awesome waterfall!!!

Later at The Bang Kung temple which has a history of being a Taksin The Great camp. Pretty cool, there's his statue and like a hundred of full-sized soldier statues. This temple is iconic for the fact that their temple is literally fused into the tree, it's insanely cool actually but I missed the opportunity to takes lot of picture of it because of how hot is it, hot weather made everything sucks I hate it.

What got me interested is when we were about to leave, I noticed a bunch of dressing table around one shrine which is a shrine for 'Monthatip' lady which has a very bizarre supernatural history (the links is in Thai since I can't find any links in English :( )

Finally we went back to the hotel just to lay stupidly next to the river until it's late.

14th March

I woke up at around 5am to offer foods to the monk, he rows in his boat to collect foods(?) from house to house in the river. Kinda cool, I'm slrrpy as shit though so I don't remember much.

The trip kind of end here, I was feeling sick so my dad drove us home. I'm kinda sad I feel like the trip wasn't as fun as it should be because of me. I don't talk much and just there's not much going on there. I still feel good about it though.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Often time in that trip I thought about how my younger self would react or what to say. I tried to think about what to say to make my dad happy. It's not really about my dad, I always do that with everyone, I just feel like I did it so much more this time. I feel like I'm the person who ruined everyone's mood, and this time my dad's.

There's this weird feelings lingering all three days, the feeling that I knew I wasn't a little kid anymore. The last time I gone on a trip with my family is so long ago, let alone my dad. There's just a feeling that I've.. changed. My dad is the same, my family is the same. I just changed, and the worst thing to realized is I may have changed for the worst.

24 February 2024 - Thoughts

I never feel like I'm a part of something. My friends always talk about something I don't understand, or they just don't let me to understand. It's so common in my life to heard something like "You shouldn't know" so often and it's always in a joking tone but it always makes me feel bad. I shouldn't know? How will I be deserving to know? What should I do? I walk with friends but I never feel like I have one.

I feel like I can't stop to tie my shoes without getting left out. I feel like if I stop walking they'll just keep walking and forget about me. I feel like I have to tried so fucking hard to have friends, to make them care. When I see my friends care about each other without much condition I always wonder what did I do wrong that made it goes this way. Why do they don't care about me like they care their friends?

Never a good person. I'm not as good of a person. I'm selfish and only care about myself. Maybe I don't deserve any of it. friends. companies. but I yearn for the feeling of being loved. of being cared about.

For some god damn reason I'm sick again! I swear to god I just got better not even for a week and the flu caught me again. I'm also 100% sure it's because of the PM2.5 that made the air in Bangkok yellow fuzz right now, and I go to school every day in the middle of the city to inhale all the beautiful dust!! haha fitting name?! no it's not funny at all I'm sick and want this to stop!!!

Shame on me for having the worst immune system ever I got sick from everything and my throat can't survive a week without developing some new coughing issues, so today I'm absent from school to protect everyone's safety. Also to protect myself because I can't go 5 minutes without coughing or sneezing!! *COUGH* Ah see!? I just cough again!!!!

Despite all the works and tests and projects that are piling up on me I found myself just doing stuff on this website because it's fun, and I realize the biggest problem why I feel like this website isn't presentable at all. You probably notice but I know NOTHING about color. I don't understand it and I don't get how it works.

Obviously I watched all the 'color theory' videos on Youtube and I kind of do understand it? Like opposite colors, and all the fancy colors that compliment each other. What I don't understand is how do I apply them and put them to use. I saw a color palette of five colors and just have no idea where to put what color, resulting in a mess.

I need to rework the color of this website ASAP the colors and aesthetic right now is hurting my brain because of how ugly it looks. The dark red and dark blue combo needs to be GONEEEE

Every single dream I had last year played from the same place.

A few months ago I started to write down my dreams. Dreams aren't an important thing in my life like.. at all. I don't care about what I dreamed, I usually won't remember them anyway. I also rarely dream- usually once in four or five months, but these past few months there's something weird going on. I dreamed a liiitttle more often, noticed a pattern and it's interesting how all my dreams played out.

I almost never had a nightmare in these last years, most of my dream are just.. bizarre? I don't feel exactly happy, it just left me feeling weird and confused. Every single dream isn't the same, all the feelings and what happened. The only constant thing I noticed is, they usually involve people I know in real life, from specifically one place. My old school.

In middle school, I went to a boarding school, and it's hell on earth for me. That place shaped most of who I am, but these days I don't really think about it that much anymore. Almost a year since I switched school and life changed drastically (That's a blog for later).

So it's confusing to me why I dreamed about waking up on a bunk bed in my old school. It's confusing to me why in the dreams I'm in a classroom with all the people I knew I hated- all the people I knew I never wanted to see ever again in my life if possible. It's not normal because in one of my very few dreams the entire school was there- every single students I've ever looked at. It's terrifying, the dream never was bad but the place and the people are what made it my nightmare.

Maybe, just maybe. I missed it? I basically spent more than half of my life there (12 years *cough*) so maybe I'm just attached? I'm much happier now knowing I don't have to be there anymore.. or at least that's what I told myself. I don't know and I don't think I will ever find out the answer. Why can't it be a cool awesome place I'm attached to? Magical river? Floating island?

Another funny thing I suddenly remembered. I never dream when I slept in that bed, that's where most of my "dream-hole" (like a black hole- you know what I mean) went. Is it just trying to repay me back? From robbing dreams away from me back in there? I listened to music to sleep every single night and I'm always excited about going to sleep at 9pm because sleeping and waiting for tomorrow is the best thing I can do back in there. It's the only time of the day where I feel- comfortable. Yes it's a bunk bed, yes the bed's not a nice thing to sleep in, but nothing is better than knowing the sooner I sleep, the quicker tomorrow will came, the quicker I will get out. So every single night I valued the sleep time more than anything, I always run into the bed zone quicker than anyone- gripping my iPod tightly and laying peacefully in bed until everyone came in and the teacher turned off the lights.

Now what?, It's insane. I'm back home but I don't even feel like there's a want to sleep. I don't want time to move forward- and I want every single minutes of the day to be 'used' and I just don't try to sleep until my body physically can't handle it anymore and knock itself out.

SO are the dreams the results of not falling asleep deep enough? The content of it I obviously have no idea, but the fact that I've dream a bit more this is probably it.

There's a blog page now!!!

Yep I finally beaten the procrastination wolf inside of me and brought myself together to create this blog page. Honestly I feel like I'm so terrible at picking a theme / keeping the style consistent because every week I have a cool new layout idea and I go 'yeah let's change my index to that' so nothing is progressing I just keep changing things.

Also, I'm very conflicted about how I want this web to functions, right now when clicking the nav it just change the link in the iframe so everytime I reload the page it will go back to home you know? I think it's cooler to have like the link to change into ^{ridvenge.neocities.org/blog} when you click the nav, but that means I have to create more files. Also I think it's nicer this way because there's no need to load new page every time, I don't know.
