Comics

Here are some more comics that came to mind as I was working about, enjoy!

 Reminds me of the good ol' cart days of catering and my eternal love of all things golf and go carts.

 For the record, I have only ever met one or two people in the military who shave their heads and wear glasses that look like Joe despite their common occurrence. However my boss at work looks so much like him I had to do a double take the first time I was introduced to him hahaha.

This is one of my comics that literally happened haha  good times. For those wondering, that's a tool box and a hydraulic fluid pump thingy. Very technical here.

Final Fantasy Finally!

 Hey it's been a bit but here's some more pics! Here's me with the like President of Ul'dah for the lastish dungeon of the game :D

 Bigger surprise! I changed my character with the 30 day subscriber item! While the cat people are a penny a pick and everywhere you look there they are, I sadly changed from the unique and roguish roegadyn in favor of this little cutie. It stems from wanting to be a Cat since ffxi. So that's my excuse.

 Got a new mount too!

 Was in a party with this guy, so cool!

 Me crafting. Takes forever!

 Last boss battle with the party I was with. They were a great party and I had fun.

 Some end game cool stuff

 Some more!

 Another other cool white mage

 A cool bit of scenery I found in the game. That's a monster that is becoming a plant? I guess it WAS a plant to begin with but hey, whatevs.

 Goat photobomb for my stars picture.

 Pink clouds. Man this games graphics never cease to amaze me.

 Now I'm shorter than my in game friend ;_;

This is one of the most vexing bosses in the final fantasy franchise. I love wall boss because of the challenge but man do I hate that I die so much at his hands haha~!

Everybody's Working For the Weekend!

My father instilled in me a great love for trying exotic fruits. I still remember the first pomegranate I ate. I always loved mangos, and classic fruit as well. Fruit is just great and I'm sure everyone will agree.

So today I tried a new one!

 Behold! Star fruit! I've always heard about it but I wanted to try it! But I didn't have my dad to tell me how to eat it so I googled it. It tasted like a weird melon and I still have the aftertaste in my mouth. However, I think it wasn't quite ripe so I'll eat the second one I got a little later. I got this fruit from the arabic WalMart aka Lulu's and this is not the only fruit they have there that I have not tried! I do believe they have dragon fruits, durians, and many more I had no idea what they are for! haha. None-the-less, I think I'm going to have a fruit-I-have-never-had next Friday and it will be magical.

 While also there, I was most amused by the profuse amount of not only olive oil (shown above) but also about any other type of oil you could imagine. The above show the HUGE bottles there, but most of the others were an acceptable average size haha.

 Later me and my friends ORDERED MCDONALD'S FOR DELIVERY. DELIVERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY and it was magical. And they have big n' tasty's! Unlike in the states! But it was more like a...Big n' nasty :/ they just use different sauces and it was so huge it fell apart haha. But the fries and apple pies were classic! Haha.

Behold.

Other than that haven't been up to much. I have joined the ranks of a monotonous 8 to 5 job...and you know what? I like it :) I only wish I had more free time during the week  but hey, everybody's working for the weekend for a reason.

Final Fantasy Llama's

 Here's some more pictures of Final Fantasy :D In this one I logged on and this was my view and I just thought it was adorable. Taru taru's!!!

 K, while questing, I was running around, trying to solve this mystery for 10 levels, and this is the lady. This is she, that if she had simply been honest about a murder instead of falling prey to the threat of violence, would have saved me hours of mindless questing. So YOU miss...YOU can just...yeah...you barely have an NPC name! Jerk! Haha.

 Pretty castle in the distance! Creepy!

 Me looking coy under me wizard hat. I liked this hat...too bad its to be replaced by higher lvl stuff haha.

 Another gorgeous landscape! I farm here for fleece.

 Just a unicorn balancing on a beam. The things you do while waiting for a party to quest with.

 Here we have the council of the Unicorn riders. Oh Unicorns! Unicorns! :D

 Difference between my unicorn and the taru's unicorn. ADORABLE!

 Me finishing my last level 50 quest to become an official white mage! :D And a random quester who was afk and wouldn't move haha. The other white mage is the quest giver. Hence her awesome and non-generic clothes.

 Pretty Sunset!

This is like, the back of a book I would read. And I love it.

(also I'm watching Monty Python, if you're wondering about the title)

“You is kind. You is smart. You is important.” ― Kathryn Stockett

This morning I was vexed. I attributed my roommate to not replacing a waterbottle in the fridge to replace the one she had taken so that the next one would be cold. One of my bowls had leftover sparkles from the cereal she was currently eating, and she had yet to contribute to the tissue and toilet paper fund! (tho to be fair she's been here a weekish).

These were the thoughts traversing my mind this morning.

But I missed it yesterday. (sudden shift in topic). Today we learn that someone at work had tried to commit suicide. Again I missed it. We all miss it. We only hope that we don't. And yet when we look back we put emphasis on the parts where we think we missed it. Where we think we could have stopped it.

I know I'm no expert on this topic and that I prefer not to preach on it. Because it's...not that it's taboo it's just that I never seem to say the right thing. Often the comforting words when suicide occurs to others we know in our life are "There's nothing you could have done." I've heard that for many taboo, intense happenings in life as a sort of comfort. But there will always be the feeling of, "What if I could?"

Many in the military feel it is selfishness, to try and kill yourself. To play devil's advocate, it holds a great amount of truth. It shuts down operations, it hurts the ones you love, it hurts the ones who are your friends, and it hurts the ones you didn't even know who looked up to you. But to be myself, I would not call it selfishness. I would label it as sadness untempered. There's a sort of backwards comfort I keep to myself when I go though harshish times (let's be honest, the worst I have to complain of in life is not being married and lets be doubly honest, that's mostly my fault) found in 1 Corinthians 10:13 "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." And I kind of apply this to my troubles. My troubled love life is pretty common and when I remember this I just kind of calm down in mutual misery with the world I guess haha. Then I go read a book or have fun playing video games.

But that's not good enough for some people and in my book, that's fine. Some don't want to turn to religion. People are different, get comfort differently, and well...what can you do about it but try whatever comes to your mind and maybe more. Or just ask them? I should take a class or something.

So I guess the best I can do is forget about the tissues and toilet papers of life. I guess Christ really is right, where if you feel someone has wronged you to forgive them 70 times 7...and buy candy bars for everyone...and repeat the above title phrase until it looses all meaning...I'm going to go eat ice cream now.

"No, there is too much, let me sum up."

Welp I've being gallivanting about the country side. Here are some observations and things I've done.

I have been really frustrated that Square Enix won't let me give them money. They just need to let me give them money.

Of course when I go to write my blog I forget everything.

Had a driver drive head on against me for the first time. Yay Bahrain!

I won't be able to drive back at the states. People turn into the left lane from the second lane, glide in to cut you off, drive over the lines, and have no concept of a zipper.

I've been to Hard Rock Cafe, TCBY, Lulu Mart (like WalMart), and two filipino bands out in town.

Getting one thing from Amazon each week is pure joy.

Everyone here wears California shirts and I go all hipster mode on them. "Well I'm FROM Cali, punk!"

"Watch out! The yellow ones don't stop!" - ELF. This is true as well, but they are red and white here.

Annnnnndddddd I love my new Final Fantasy game :D

Final Fantasy Swimming

So I have some pics from ffxiv (which is getting rave reviews in this link) and I also found this video that just had to be preserved for progeny's sake.

 Here I am fishing some more. Hey blue moon!

 Here's some of the decorations for the event this week. Not much else to do for the event but buy bikini's haha which is a bit of a let down for me.

 Me and my bro again.

 Here we are questing together. Morbid part, take all these dead bodies and bury them. Don't worry, when you fit 4 BODIES in you're inventory they are represented as little flowers. Very polite SE.

 Here I am looking fabulous again.

 This...this game is just so gorgeous. I just love taking pictures of it.

 A tough fate/quest that nearly killed us all while we tried to kill this ogre.

 Another huge fate party. Just look at all the spells! It's ridiculous! This is the Svara fate, quite fun killin' some dragons.

 I got some new gear. It's the (almost complete) set of the Limsa Limosia grand company gear for lvl 40.

 Gorgeous landscapes again. So yellow! Albeit its supposed to be pollution from that goblin factory in the distance but gorgous none the less...in a way.

 This cool cat here is my linkshell and free company leader. I logged in and she was standing right in front of me! Just getting resting exp! So I stole a pic.

 Here's the observatory place in Dragonshead and its fun cause you can jump off it and not die. I'll try to remember to get a pic of myself in the moment for that despite its morbidness ahah.

 A quest giver. He's got a nice little set up imho

 Me fighting a dragon. So fun!

 AGAIN! I ran into my guildleader just chillin there. Prob stalking me.

Here's a pretty spot I found while questing. I like it, wish it was sunny at the time the game was up, oh wells. I like it and might just frequent it ^.^
