02- The meaning behind your Blogger name


Gelloid is another name that came up from the random nicknames that my friends inducted me with. I’m amazed at our knack of inventing nicknames that are usually longer than our real names. I think we are weird that way, but I don’t really mind.
                Ezzy is the first to call me in that nickname. At first, it sounded weird, because I associated it with androids, mechanical stuff and tablets. Gradually I got used to putting the suffix oid to almost every name I encounter. Luckily, the brief habit never affected my grades or any particular event in my life. It just reminded me of small things that could make me happy, or of things that made me grateful because I have six awesome friends that accepts my weirdness meter.
                Gelloid became a practical name to me, because it isn’t hard to remember. Also, it’s quite close to my real name. I have a few website accounts using that name, which always reminds me of its convenience. I decided to use that as my blogger name because it reminds me of happiness and carefree moments; of simplicity and the perks of teenage impulsiveness. Basically, the name reminds me of childhood, which is slowly spinning away from my grip.

01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself





This is my most recent picture of myself. I don’t like taking pictures, but yeah, this is it. I decided to ditch my frizzy, wavy hair for this sleek, straight one. Although I missed playing a lot with my old hair, I’d prefer this because it’s easier to tame during those awful windy days. It doesn't show much here, since I just sort of woke up in this picture.

Fifteen facts:
01.   I love books. I breathe in the stories and wish that I could one day write sensational stories. It would be one of my greatest achievements if it were to happen. Recently, things are not good between me and my books, because I’ve been busy these past few days. Also, most books are cliché, and I miss the good old days where the creativity of the stories really come from capricious minds.
02.   ANIME. Yes, I spend most of my boring days during weekends watching anime. I think I have been an otaku since I was five. My cousins were the ones who introduced me to the anime world. And guess what? I welcomed it with open arms. XD 
03.   I love pizzas. They could make me fat, but who cares. Soul foods like pizzas provide me with vigor so different from other foods.  Potato foods. French fries would be one of them. I always love eating French fries, much more when I eat it with friends. GATB used to eat more than the average people do, back then. I hope I get the chance to eat fries with all of us again. 
04.   GATB and my cousin, Van Alens- these people are the siblings I never had. I want to live in London, so that I could live close with my cousin, or in Australia so that I could get closer to Ezzy.
05.   Brown. I love the color brown. I don’t know when I started liking it, but I love all shades of brown. I just realized one day, that most of my things are colored brown, and knew then and there that my instincts were pushing me in the direction of appreciating that particular color. 
06.   Tall people. I have a fetish for tall people. I mean, my friends are tall for their age (no offense to Fido. XD. He’s the exemption). I consider myself tall. 
07.   I killed kittens when I was a kid. Look, I have no angst against kittens, but I was selfish for their attention back then. I wanted them to come to me, but all they ever do is run. I imagine myself cuddling with those cute creatures, but they refused to come to me. Well, I was just a kid then, I had my own tantrums, and I really am SORRY to those poor souls. 
08.   I tend to have random outbursts. Gatb can attest to that. My college friends are not so immune to my random laughs, or to my random statements, but somehow they are already getting used to it. 
09.   For me, WEIRD is a compliment. I don’t understand why, but I’m happy to be called weird, no matter if it’s on the negative side, or positive. 
10.   Please don’t mind this post. It’s just blah blah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah  bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah  bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah bIah. 
11.   I have a crush on a gay person. Okay, this is the first time I ever let this out. GATB doesn’t know this yet. I’m not sure if I really like him, but for some reason I don’t want to see him sad or mad or insecure. Okay. Okay, that’s it. 
12.   I am still stuck on Genesis chapter 7. I haven’t moved from reading the Old Testament yet. Although, I’m happy that I’m done with the New Testament. I know that the Old Testament is more complicated than the New Testament. I also want to get back to my daily devotional. 
13.   I love my two step grandmothers, but I hate their impatience. I know that this is not their fault, but it’s just the consequence of old age. I love grandparents and old people in general. It just breaks my heart to see them alone. I really don’t know why. 
14.   I want to have a fish as a pet! I’ve been craving for one since I was a high school girl! 
15.   I want to remain patient with everything that’s been going on around me. I want to see the world with a poet’s eye. I want to keep loving humanity even against the bleak background. I love my family, friends and GOD.

Skyrim



                
Well, before I officially start the 30 posts challenge, I would like to give you an overview of what I do with my gadgets when I run out of ideas to fight off the tentacles of BOREDOM. I am actually not a techie girl, who craves for the attention of online friends or someone who is a gadget addict or … well, let’s live it at that. So, basically, this post is to tell the world that even if I quit playing Defense of the Ancient eons ago, I still have other sources of fun in the gaming world.

Elphis: This game is a director's cut from the popular children's fairy tale- Red Riding Hood. There is a scientist and time travelling device involved, and the main character gets to have an amazing hammer which serves as her weapon against cute monsters. Seriously, this anime has CUTE written all over it. I would rate this three over five.
Music Hero: I like playing this game because of its versatility. You can use your own playlist to start the game. It's like tap tap revolution minus some complicated downloading. I could have rated it a five, but it lags every once in a while which made it a four.


Slender Man: This game is originally a PC game, which is considered as one of the scariest PC games nowadays. It also has an android version, but the map is smaller, which leaves you little room to run around and avoid the Slender Man. Although you still have to collect eight pieces of paper, the original PC version is a thousand times better than the android version. Well, we can't really exxpect high quality and graphics with android games. I rated it three over five.

 Ancient Kingdom Defense: I really love this game! You don't have to do anything in particular with this game. You simply have to place warriors around the field to stop the monsters from reaching the castle gate. Your warriors don't even die. Although this sounds a little boring, since all you have to do, is strategize and defeat the monsters without basically running an adrenaline rush, I still love it immensely. I rate it five over five.

Fruit Ninja: I've been craving for this game since the day I got my android phone. The mechanics of the game is quite simple. You just need to slice all the fruit on your screen, and avoid the bombs that will end your game if you accidentally slice them. I rated it five over five.

              I shall introduce you first to the games in my android phone. Meet, Music Hero, Slender Man, Elphis, Fantasy Kingdom Defense and fruit Ninja. Say hi to the world my game friends! Well, so much for these cute but helpful games for entertainment. Let’s get to the real deal- SKYRIM.
                Personally, I could only give a few words concerning this game, because I haven’t finished playing it yet, and barely even finished one quest due to time management. I just started last night, but I saw the protocols, mechanics, graphics and quests when my friend Fido played it. Actually, I wasn’t expecting much from the game, since I never played RPG before, but the guy kept talking about it as if its second nature. He kept comparing it to Sword Art Online minus the nerve gear and the simulation. Don’t get your hopes high: THIS IS NOT SWORD ART ONLINE.



                Skyrim was first introduced to the gaming society and addicts almost a year ago. I just started getting interested with it recently. The game brings you to the world of Skyrim, where dragons, dragonborns, and a feuding empire catch you in the middle of a rebellion. You get to choose between joining the empire or supporting the rebel Stormcloaks. You’ll just have to fight your way out, and figure your calling as a dragonborn. I will not divulge any more details than this, because it will spoil the fun. See it for yourself by purchasing it at the nearest gaming shop.

P.S : I might not start the 30 post challenge yet, because I still have a few kewl ideas in my head. See you in my next post ! (I shall return to playing Skyrim, I’ll get back on you guys after a few days. Have a happy period! ^_^)
