January 2018 Entry

January 2018 Entry 

Happy New Year. 

========================= 

- A humbling reminder that 2018 did not start well. 

- Continued my purchase of snacks every month and I got Rice Krispies Treats (01.04). All 3 flavors were great. The best part was there was an extra 3-4 packed in the box.  



- Had some time to watch the Ranma 1/2 blu-ray I got with the movies and OVAs. Saw the movies on back to back days (01.07, 01.08). It took a while to get through the OVAs, but I finished them all (01.19). It was great to go back to one of my first and favorite anime series. 
- And this is another reminder of a date that was supposed to happen (01.14) and then finally being unfriended (01.18). That same day, I met someone else, but there was a catch to it. Oh well.   

- Finally got to order and eat a sushi boat with coworkers (01.28). We got through at least 80-85% of it. I wanted to at least finish my portion of the order, but I tapped out after eating the majority of it.  


- Caught up on NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia (01.27) and that was fantastic. Continuing the trend of each TakeOver having incredible matches. The next day was the Royal Rumble (01.28). I was invited to go to a friend's place to watch with some of their friends. Both rumble matches were so fun. We were going nuts. One of the highlights was all of us getting into a group hug and cheering after Nakamura won. We were so tired too, ha. The women's rumble match was equally great. All I have to say is that my prediction for both rumble matches were correct. I've never guessed the rumble winner correctly and here I get 2 in the same night. Yay for all Japanese winners.  


=========================  

- The OverBlood Facebook group I'm a part of was doing this last year so I decided to do it for myself in 2017. I kept track of all the games I beat that year. It would have been nice to hit an even 20, but 2017 was a busy year. Considering that Zelda and Mario were among those games, I am surprised I had time to beat as many as I did. 




- I started the year by playing the Breath of the Wild DLC known as the Champions' Ballad (01.01). It took one week to beat it (01.07). That was well done DLC. I even spent some time afterwards upgrading some gear. Having the motorcycle made it easy to go after Star Fragments when they landed. 





- We had a Nintendo Direct Mini (01.11). There was a lot of good stuff mentioned, but I only had 2 games from it that I reserved (The World Ends With You: Final Remix and Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition). Finally get to play The World Ends With You (skipped it when it was originally released) and I don't mind jumping back into Hyrule Warriros as it was so much fun. I did consider also reserving Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. While it's a good game, I remember not enjoying it as much as Returns. If they bundled both together, I would have reconsidered.  


- Continuing with more DLC, the first game I actually completed for 2018 was Shantae: 1/2 Genie Hero: Friends to the End (01.15). Just like previous Shantae games, I was able to 100% it within a few hours. Not a bad campaign, but it definitely was weaker than the main game and Pirate's Conquest (to me).  




 
- Friends got me swag from their time at PAX South (01.20). They were all items from three of my favorite game series; No More Heroes, Ace Attorney, and Shovel Knight. Super cool of them to get me things.  




- Got a good deal for a Joy-Con Pro Controller charging dock (01.22). At first, I was only looking for a charging dock that holds 2 sets of Joy-Cons, but once I saw there was one for a Pro Controller and one set of Joy-Cons, that was the one I seeked. Yay for good eBay deals. The only downside to it is that the lights that show your controllers are charged stay on so I have to unplug it. Still a good deal.  




=========================  

- We tasked a few of the Agents with creating a Puzzle Flyer in December. Agent Raynor and I then chose one to print and make a contest out of (01.01). The final puzzle and design was created by Agent Blue-Heeler. She did great. Anyone that solved it got a free shirt from us. Unfortunately, the turn out was fairly low, but we will most likely revisit it to unload the rest of the shirts.  


- First Company Meeting of the year (01.02). It was crazy as Agent Blue fell ill. I and a few others helped him out while the others continued with the meeting. He ended up being fine, but it definitely wasn't something any of us forecasted to happen. 


- Agent Majordomo's last day has come and gone (01.04). Had a nice talk with him on his last day. He mentioned that he will miss having our talks, but I assured him that we can still have them. He'll be successful no matter what he does and will be missed. 

- The weather was really cold in Houston for a couple of days. We had to cancel work until it was safe again for Houstonians (01.16, 01.17). I still did some work from home such as listening to an Audible book I was tasked to read as well as some other things I could do out of the office. 

- It has been a while since we had any wedding proposals and then we have two on the same day (01.21). I wasn't going to be part of these originally as I am off on Sundays, but I met with one of the proposers the day before and he requested I be there to make sure things ran smoothly. So that made it easy for me decide to come in on an off day. 

The first one was conducted by Agent X. The team was on the J100 side doing ER1 while I was ushering in friends and family to surprise the proposee in J120. It was great seeing friends and family be equally nervous about every little bit as I kept them updated on what was happening. And then the payoff with the proposee coming in and being surprised and exclaiming, ha. She of course said "yes" and we all celebrated. 

The second one was conducted by Agent Blue-Heeler in ER5. This one was a little different as those of there did not do any of the planning. But we were able to pull the proposer to the side before his session claiming a "payment issue." Blue-Heeler and I took him to the room, showed him where the ring would be, and walked him through the scenario of how it would play out. That greatly relieved as he seemed very worried. I let him know I would not be there for the result, but that everything will be fine. It was great to hear that his proposal was also successful. 

I definitely enjoy doing these. I wish we did more.  


- More marketing. We bring you the Couples Challenge (01.25). For the month of February, teams of 2/4/6 can compete for the fastest time in ER5. The team with the fastest escape time gets board games and 3D printed trophies. As of typing this (02.11), we have had a few challengers and more that have signed up. Hopefully more will.  


- And the first blog of 2018 was written by Agent PQ (01.31).

- Amber X Luna - Lower (MV) 


- TWICE - Candy Pop (MV) 


- Siedah Garrett X BoA - Man in the Mirror 


- BoA - Watashi Kono Mama De Iino  Kana (MV) 


- Yuri X Raiden - Always Find You (MV) 


- Red Velvet - Bad Boy (MV) 


- BoA - NEGA DOLA (MV) 


- BoA - Weekly Idol Ep 340 


NEGA DOLA and her appearance on Weekly Idol was a kind reminder of how much I love BoA. 

That's it for January 2018. Thank you for reading.

December 2017 Entry

December 2017 Entry 

Hello. 2018 has begun.

========================= 

- Ninja Batman, I'm excited. 


- It doesn't snow often in Houston, but when it does, we all talk about it (12.07). Got to drive home while the snow was coming down and it was cool to witness. I think that's the fourth or fifth time I have seen it snow in Houston.  

- Met up with some old high school friends. It had been over a year since the last time I saw them was at their brother's wedding. Got to catch up and play games with their eldest son (he's more communicative now). 

Later on in the night, I met up with a coworker. He was going through some woes and I took him out to talk and have dinner. Good day of bonding with people. Unfortunately the night ended with a flat tire. Luckily I was not too far away from home, but it was still a lame way for the night to end. 

- Went to the dentist (12.13). I actually thought it was the day before so I lost some sleep since I woke up early that day. Got an old crown fixed. The process took about an hour. They started a movie for me to watch and I don't remember what it is now. It featured Nicole Kidman and she was adopting children from a third world country and the story centered around one of the kids. My dental work was done after they fast-forwarded 10 years (I think). 
 
I was told the numbness would go away after an hour. 3 hours later, it finally did. It sure was weird attempting to eat lunch while my mouth was numb, ha.  

- One of my younger cousins go married (12.15). Originally I was going to go to the wedding, but there was a last minute change of plans on her end so I just had the day off. But I did go to the reception the next day at her new home (12.16). They've got a nice place in Conroe. Great to see the family and enjoy their company. 

- Every time I'm not at home for RAW, something memorable happens. One time was when Daniel Bryan retired. The other time was when Shane McMahon returned. This time it was the announcement of the first ever Women's Royal Rumble (12.18). We knew it was going to happen sooner or later, but it is awesome that they made it official. Can't wait to see it. 
 

- I had no idea that they were releasing the OVAs and movies for Ranma 1/2 in a set. Once I found out, I knew it would be my Christmas Present to myself. It came a few days later (12.28). Now I can officially say I have the entire Ranma 1/2 anime series on blu-ray. I'll need to make time to rewatch all of these. 
 

========================= 

- Mega Man's 30th Anniversary happened (12.04). I happened to catch the livestream and witnessed all the announcements. I'm definitely going to buy the Legacy Collections and the X Collection (never played any after X4) for Switch. And of course I am excited to play Mega Man 11. 


- My second Black Friday purchase arrived (12.07). They are a pair of neon red joy-cons. I technically have 7 controllers now for my Switch. I haven't mixed and matched any colors yet, but I definitely have more options now. 
 

- The last DLC for Breath of the Wild, The Champion's Ballad (12.07) was released. I have not touched it yet unfortunately. Been very busy. But I do plan to play it early 2018 before the next game I want comes out. 
 

- And that next game could be the re-release of Bayonetta 1 & 2. I enjoyed planing them on the Wii U so I'm considering double dipping for them. But I am definitely going to play Bayonetta 3 when that comes out. That was awesome for them to announce all of those titles at the same time (12.07). 
 

- I picked up Floor Kids when it came out (12.10). I was intrigued by what I had seen. I enjoyed it, but not as much as I had hoped. I went through the story and stopped there (12.11). I think it's worth a try especially if you like rhythm games. 
 

- Another gaming anniversary announcement; Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection (12.10). Looking forward to playing through all of them again, especially the Alpha series since those are my favorite Street Fighter games. 
 

- The newest (and last I think) DLC for Shantae: 1/2 Genie hero was released; Friends to the End (12.21). Downloaded it for the Wii U, but have not had a chance to play it either. I'm planning to make it the first game I beat in 2018. I am heavily leaning towards double dipping on Shantae when the physical version comes out on Switch. 
 

- Sephiroth VS Vergil (12.20) 


========================= 

- Our final company meeting of the year (12.05). 
 

- Trying new stuff on social media with our first Boomerang (12.10). 
 

- Another blog from Agent Majordomo (12.15). Try out some of the puzzles he created. 
 

- I took the reigns again for this year's Company Christmas Party (12.18). Agent Widdershins helped with decorations, food, and White Elephant. Agent Blue Heeler helped me with the game show "The Scarlet Spy" and was my cohost. Overall, it was a fun party. It as great to see Agents from the past join us in the craziness. And everyone walked away with something as this is the first time we implemented company gifts for years of service. At the end of the night, I was extremely exhausted and my body hurt, but it was worth it to see everyone enjoying themselves.  

- We tasked a few staff members to participate in the creation of our first Puzzle Flyer. Those that participated made some great stuff and we'll most likely use the rest in the future. Along with choosing her puzzle, Agent Blue Heeler also designed the shirt and the social media images. We teased the upcoming venture towards the end of the month (12.29). 
 

- We brought on a new Agent In Training on the 7th of the month. She previously worked at another escape room. She kept complimenting on how organized we are about everything. Her training was okay. I did need to ask for an extension in her training by one extra week as I knew she was on the cusp of being qualified. But after that was over, we officially welcomed Agent Ingenue to the team (12.29).  

- And our last HER blog of the year was written by Agent Widdershins (12.31). The photo he took was really good. It doesn't include everyone that was at the party, but it was still a good mix. 
 

========================= 

- TWICE - Heart Shaker (MV) 


- TWICE - Merry & Happy (MV) 


- BoA - Jazzclub (MV) 


- It was a shock to read about Jonghyun from SHINee passing away (12.18). While I am not the biggest fan of the group, I enjoyed some of their songs. Coincidentally, Jonghyun was my favorite member. It's crazy that he committed suicide. Reading responses from other Kpop celebrities and fans was sad. It really did get to me. I didn't cry about it, but it really did make me think a lot. Rest In Peace, Jonghyun. 



- My dad had an accident with a table saw (12.23). From what I was told, his thumb was hanging on by skin. My mom told me about it the next morning (she didn't want me to worry while I was at work and there was nothing I could have done). While the surgery to reattach his thumb was successful, I took a few moments to just assess everything that was going on. I went outside to see the trails of blood in our backyard. I noticed the bandages and gauze laid out on one of our tables. And I had a moment to myself where I just couldn't handle that my parents were both in the hospital this year. 

I went to the hospital (Memorial Hermann again) on Christmas Eve and spent time with him. Too my mom home that day so she can rest since she was at the hospital the night before with him. Originally, I had plans to meet with friends, but we pushed it back to the night. This could not have come at a better time because I finally got to vent to them about work frustrations and about my parents going to the hospital this year. 

Spent Christmas day at the hospital as well. I was informed that we were actually going to have Christmas at our house so some of my cousins actually visited us in the hospital. It was good having them around. 

One more visit the day after. But we all agreed that it was fine not to visit on Wednesday as dad would be getting released the following day. Took the day off as his release time was still up in the air. He actually got moved to another room. Once things were settled, we went home. It didn't take long for him to get back to trying to do things on his own again. Literally, the next day he was cooking and driving with one arm. 

- I had been talking to someone I met on a dating app for a good portion of December (12.10). We had a few things in common and eventually started talking via Facebook. During that time, I stopped using all of the dating apps I was on. Unfortunately she lost interest towards the end of the year (12.29). I won't disclose why, but I was very disappointed by it. I did make my case for having another chance, but she did not respond. This was actually the first time in a long time since using dating apps that I didn't ask for help from anyone. And I was very excited that we were actually progressing well and were planning to meet up. 

I have been at a loss since then. I did start using my dating apps again and downloaded a bunch more. Some were really horrible and some are passive. I'm tired of being alone, plain and simple. 

- 2017...was rough. I won't disregard the fun and positive times I had such as the awesome games I played on the Switch (Breath of the Wild, Odyssey, etc) and especially all the wrestling moments that happened (Royal Rumble, 4 straight days of wrestling, etc). But the negative times were...too much...both parents going to the hospital, wanting to quit the best job I've ever had...and plenty of small things that kept snowballing even until the very last day of the year...I don't know. I've mentioned to someone that I need to look back on past entries to see when was the last time I wanted a year to end because of how bad it was...but I kind of don't want to. I know that not every year is perfect, but 2017 was the toughest year in a while. 

I used to set resolutions. I used to set goals. This time, I did not set anything. I want changes for the better. That's all. 

Thank you for reading. Here's to a prosperous 2018.

November 2017 Entry

November 2017 Entry 

Hello. November was memorable. Sorry for being late on this entry though. 

========================= 

- Congratulations to the Houston Astros for winning their first ever World Series (11.01). 
 

- The latest new snack I tried was seaweed (11.12). I know I have had some before, but this was my first time purchasing it. And did I get a lot. As of typing this blog (12.11), I haven't finished half of them. It's good, but eating it every day loses its flavor. 
 

- NXT TakeOver: WarGames is the first in four straight days of wrestling (11.18). I went with a friend who is also into wrestling. We were lining up early and he ran into a lot of people he knew. I got a surprise by Izzy and her family coming up to me. That's nuts that they were the ones coming up to me. We reminicsed about meeting at the Royal Rumble earlier in the year, her dad talked to us about the Mae Young Classic, and I asked Izzy who she thought was going to win the Fatal-4-Way match for the NXT Women's Championship. I briefly spoke to her mom also before we all went back in line. That was an awesome way to start this series of wrestling nights. 


It wasn't too much after that we made our way in. Our seats were right next to the entrance ramp, somewhere I haven't sat before. It was my friend's first time having floor seats and he couldn't believe how close we really were. The security guard was cool to talk to and the family that sat around us (the mom) was very informative. She was the mom of one of the regulars you see ringside at almost every WWE event (got to learn names and some silly drama going on). 
 
The matches, all amazing. I was worried at first about the two rings and then the cage at the end obstructing our view, but neither were a factor. I could go in detail about every match, but just know that I was going nuts for all of them. A few things to note: we saw where the wrestlers significant others sat (Candice La Rae, Rachel Evers, etc), Peyton Royce is so pretty in person, I got to see tears in Kairi Sane's eyes after the match (plus we made eye contact with me giving her a thumbs up after the match), and the cage lowering was a sight to see. 

Afterwards, we spoke to a few people (the ones that wanted photos with our titles) and we ran into Izzy and her family as we were leaving. They're a wonderful family. Great way to end WarGames. My first TakeOver was so damn good. 
  


- Survivor Series was crazy fun too (11.19). Had floor seats again. We were actually at the area where Kevin Owens escaped through towards the end of the show. We got to take our chairs home and I actually tried looking for Izzy again to give mine to them again. But the jetted out fast since they needed to sleep and fly out the next day. One cool thing to note when we were walking to our seats, we passed by the area they were filming the preshow. That has to be the closest I've ever been to Shawn Michaels. Awesome to see my favorite wrestler that close in person. 
 


- RAW  was also fun (11.20).  Went with 2 of my cousins and one of their girlfriends. We were in the section where the Shield came down from. I held my fist out and my cousin bumped it when he touched Roman Reigns, which meant I inadvertently grazed Roman Reigns bicep, ha. My other cousin and his girlfriend happened to go to the restroom right before it and they took a video of the Shield running into position, awesome. And Paige returning with Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, too cool. 


- Smackdown was a great cap to the end of 4 nights of wrestling (11.21). Cool to see Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, and Sara Logan debut. What was even better was seeing security setting up their run in. I pointed it out to my friend and I'm pretty sure I was the first to pop up when they ran down that path. 205 Live was also fun to watch (the first one I saw in person wasn't). And then the after show match was glorious. Styles, Nakamura, and Roode VS Mahal, Corbin, and Rusev. We kept chanting "Rusev Day," which prompted him to soak it in and join the face team, ha. After the match, Roode kept bringing in staff members to do his Glorious pose while his song played and of course the crowd was into it. 


And to top things off, I didn't lose my voice. Very surprising. But 4 straight nights of wrestling was incredible. 

- During Black Friday, I ordered a new blu-ray player (11.26). It was half off and it had decent reviews. It has some cool features too. I can hook up a USB device to watch any videos I have (some formats don't work) or watch YouTube or the WWE Network on it. 

The first blu-ray I actually watched on it was Batman VS Two-Face (11.27). That had been sitting ever since it was released and I wanted to wait to watch it. It's a really good movie. Hits that nostalgic and humorous points really well. I recommend watching it especially if you were a fan of Adam West as Batman. 
 

========================= 

- I now own 100 amiibo thanks to the Super Mario Odyssey amiibo (11.01). And these 3 might very well be my top favorites. They look so good. 
 

And I did beat Super Mario Odyssey (11.09). There was no hesitation about completing the game 100%, which I ended up doing a few days later (11.13). This game is absolutely fantastic. From someone who said Super Mario 64 was his favorite 3D Mario game, this might now be my favorite. Highly recommended. 
 


- Of course I bought the new Breath of the Wild amiibo (11.11). All 4 of the Champions look great and are on par with the other Breath of the Wild amiibo. 
 

-  Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney got released on the 3DS (11.23). While not many liked this title when it was originally released, I enjoyed it, but I never got around to replaying it like I did with the original trilogy. So I was really excited to jump back into these set of cases again. 
 

- Super Mario Cereal (11.30)? I'll eat it. If I ever see it in the grocery store, I'm definitely buying a box. 
 

========================= 

- We offered a BOGO deal (11.01). It lasted for the first half of November. 
 

- Won't go into the details, but as tweeted online, it has been such a long time that I had been this stressed out about work stuff (11.03). 

- Our latest and last silly video involves a lamp and football (11.05). 
 

- November's company meeting didn't have our normal silly pose (11.07). Since the team was putting together meals for a charity, we took a nice photo of that happening. 
 

- And November's blog was written by Agent Striker (11.30).  


========================= 

- Minah - 11 Degrees (MV) 


- Happy Birthday, BoA (11.05). 


- Happy Birthday, Momo (11.09).  


- Red Velvet - Peek-A-Boo (MV) 


- Don't know why, but I attempted doing LIKEY at 2x speed (11.29). For not knowing the entire dance, it wasn't that bad. Still felt super tired afterwards, but I also felt accomplished.  


- And that puts a cap on November. Thank you for reading.

October 2017 Entry

October 2017 Entry 

A lot happened in October. 

========================= 

- Here is a photo of me in front of random graffiti art (10.04). We found it when going on an excursion to film something for HER. More on that later in this post.  





- Hell In A Cell was fun to watch (10.08). Both HIAC matches were brutal. Shane and Owens had me breathless and speechless when they were on top of the cell as long as they were. 

https://youtu.be/sH-lp_j84YI

- Did something bold, but felt highly embarrassed about it (10.10). This note is just a reminder to me about it.  

- Purchased my tickets for NXT TakeOver: Houston WarGames (10.12). This is going to be insane. Going with another wrestling friend that I haven't gone to a live event with yet.  

- Got gas at my usual gas station on the way back home from work. I noticed that they had Fanta Apple (10.19). I had not had one since sometime after my trip to Marfa last year. I asked how many they had since I knew it was hard to find. They told me they had 18. I bought all of them. 





- Couldn't find Batman VS Two-Face at my usual Best Buy (10.22). Eventually found it, but I have yet to watch it. Hopefully soon if a certain game doesn't continue taking up all of my free time. 





- From the fun HIAC to the nuts TLC (10.22). Balor VS Styles, incredible. Was bummed that there weren't separate Tables, Ladders, or Charis matches, but that last match was crazy. So much happened and Kurt Angle was back in action, wow.  


- Congratulations to two dear friends on the birth of their son (10.24).  

- Went to Ramen Bar Ichi for lunch to catch up with a really close friend (10.29). We had a lot to catch up on from as far back as September and recent troubles and frustrations. It was good to talk to her. The ramen was also good and the talk we had was needed. Thank you. 

- I've had some problems with my phone for a while (10.29). It would randomly freeze, apps would crash, and the straw the broke the camel's back was that the receiver stopped working. I couldn't hear anyone and they could not hear me. I did try a lot of methods of fixing it that I found online, but ultimately went to an Apple store for help...but their Genius Bar was closed. They worker did suggest one more method that I did not try yet and it worked. So far...still a few random freezes, but that's it.  

========================= 

- Completed Metroid: Samus Returns (10.02). This was a great remake of the original Metroid Returns. Some parts were difficult, but it never felt impossible. I knew I wouldn't do a second playthrough so I made sure to get everything I missed before the end. I really enjoyed this game and recommend it to any fan of the Metroid series. 




- Played a few Swich demos (10.02). Project Octopath Traveler is an interesting RPG. I tried out both characters. While I liked them, it didn't hook me. I'll keep it on my radar, but it looks like I'll pass on it. VOEZ was a fun rhythm game. I'm pretty sure it's the first undocked only game I've played on the Switch. I liked it a lot, but will wait for a sale on it like a few other eShop games I have in my sights.   



- Picked up Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions (10.06). I beat it in less than the 2 weeks (10.16). I enjoyed the original Superstar Saga when I played it on the Wii U Virtual Console. I enjoyed this just the same. Although the Bowser's Minions portion of the game did not catch my attention. I gave it a try, but yeah...not interesting enough for me. Other than that, I did a lot in the game, but I'm pretty sure I did not 100% it. I did when I played the GBA one though. I recommend it though. Still the same solid RPG that started a great series. 








- Picked up the new Fire Emblem amiibo, Chrom and Tiki (10.21). That brought my amiibo count up to 96. 




- I don't remember when I started, but I did watch all the cutscenes for Final Fantasy XV (10.22). I also watched all the cutscenes for the 2 DLC campaigns and am looking forward to the rest. Heck of a story. Glad I got to experience that game in some fashion. 


- Bought a Pit amiibo when I picked up Batman VS Two-Face (10.22). I did this solely on the fact that my next set of amiibo would bring me to 100. Pit helped with the count and brought it to 97. 




- Super Mario Odyssey is great so far (10.27). I didn't start playing it right away due to things, but I started it (10.29). It definitely is the game that is taking up my time off. More on this next month when I'll most likely finish the game.  








- Continuing to add to my collection, I ordered a copy of Gyakuten Saiban 6 and it arrived almost 2 months later (10.31). 




========================= 

- Another silly video we made (10.01). 


- And another company meeting (10.03). Props to Agent Blue-Heeler for making us a custom cake.  


- Not only did we have a silly video, we made a Halloween video (10.09). Myself and Agent Oculus didn't get to as early as we wanted to (at least a couple weeks ago), but we knocked it out fast and good. Found a good location, we switched roles (him behind the camera and me in front of it), and the editing was simple. The video turned out really well. 

- Agent Majordomo will be having his own series of blogs for a while (10.15). Each will have tips for customers. 

- It has been a while since I had a meeting with an advertiser, but this was the best one I ever had (10.19). While she had told me stuff I heard before, I really liked her approach. It was the right level of business and casual. And she was easy to talk to. While these meetings usually last about half an hour at best, ours went on for almost 2 hours. The first part was business, but the last part was more casual as we talked about other possibilities with her soccer team. I was actually more excited about that possibility than her original one. Hopefully that comes to fruition.  

- We threw Agent Oculus a surprise going away celebration. Yes, he unfortunately had to leave the company due to a lot of things going on in his life. He was a good one. Always had a smile on his face and genuinely had fun everyday at HER. He will be missed. 

- The Houston Astros won the World Series. The weeks during the playoffs was actually rough for us. It's nothing we never encountered before, but it was amplified due to how well they were doing. On one night (10.21), I could not get out of my parking spot for 10 minutes. Traffic wasn't moving. So I got out and went back into the building to wait. Luckily I was able to watch a streamer on Twitch to keep me busy. Half an hour later, the roads were clear for me to finally leave work around 11:30PM. 

And then the following Saturday was just Hell (10.28). Stuff happened and I was overall frustrated. Not going into here. As I tweeted out, that day can go away.   

- And this month's blog was written by Agent X (10.31). 

========================= 

- Years ago, I had a dream about one of the SNSD members dying. On 10.16, I had a dream that revisited that dream. In this one, myself and other SNSD members were aware of what was going to happen and tried to see if we could stop it. We were not able to. She kept dying if we tried to alter things. It was very strange. 

- TWICE - One More Time (MV) 


- TWICE - LIKEY (MV) 


I really like Likey. Found myself learning the dance (casually). Momo and Sana definitely have the top 2 spots for my favorite TWICE members on lock. 

- My best friend started texting me late at night (10.28). I could tell something was wrong, but in the end, we exchanged a lot of heartfelt words. We both have been through many things ever since knowing each other and what we said was something we both needed to hear/read. It came at a good time especially for me considering all the stress I've felt lately. I miss her. Can't wait for the next time I see her and her daughter.  

- That's all for October 2017. Thank you for reading.
