#zmerea

Ok. We left it on Saturday, so now it’s Sunday’s turn

I woke up… Wait, no. I was awaken by my parents, just as every single birthday (I’m getting used to start with that sentence). I love that part about birthdays in my family. They wake you up and sing a birthday song. They also give the birthday guy a present whule he’s still in bed.

This time my present was a strategy board game with automatons on different difficulties. I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THOSE TYPE OF GAMES! I’ve always loved strategy board games of any type. This was similar to what you guys call “chess”, but the thing is the automatons have a “life span” and each turn you move several pieces to fight against the other pieces. It’s not just moving one at a time and “eating” each other’s pieces. You have to think through stats and movements, not only movements.

Then some aunts and uncles arrived to have breakfast. I was hoping more cousins would come, but almost no one came… It was kind of relaxed compared to other birthdays I’ve had where the house is full with people and all the cousins play together a bunch of stuff or even just cards, but oh, well. Everyone is getting busier and busier, including myself, so I understand.

Then I spent a huge ammount of time playing with the board game. It’s not very difficult so far, but every movement you make counts and the automatons were given an experience based learning, so it will get harder as I advance on the game.

At 5:00 p.m. we went to the temple. I thanked the Creator for another year full of blessings despite some flaws I’ve had and we went back home after the lecture.

Then we ate and you know the rest of the story. I posted here and in the meantime I talked with Reenah, Zea and Zylah. To be honest, Zea took everything I said better than I expected. Our friendship seems to be as good as always and maybe even better because she said she was glad I had that sort of trust with her.

I played with my brother after that and then it was time for me to go to sleep.

And so, we finally get to monday.

I had to wake up early again because I had rehearsal for the XV at 10:00 a.m. They didn’t got in time, so I decided to draw for a while. I forgot to mention that, but on the past few days I’ve been drawing a lot and I’m glad about that! Maybe I will post something here soon because… Why not?

Anyway, we had our rehearsal, I feel more relieved now because it’s looking better. There are still some details on some chamberlains, but we’re doing fine on time.

After that I came back home and I played with my brother. I also drew a bit and worked on the other golem for the thesis. As I work on it, things get clearer on how to scroll him, so it should be finished son... Hopefuly.

(From now on I’ll just mention important stuff that happened)

On tuesday I visited a friend of mine called Zmerea (There seems to be plenty of names which start with Z on girls). She’s also from my high-school. I had never gone to her house, so it was kind of an ordeal. I later discovered she didn’t lived so far away from one of my aunt’s house. We pretty much talked all day. Her family Works on a restaurand under her house, so we could talk loudly and comfortably on her living room.

Then we went to the theater to see a Alliegh performance. Alliegh is an Antique dance, but it’s still practiced and it’s considered the base of every branch of dance known nowadays. The performance we saw is also a classic. It’s called the Nutcracker, and has music from a famous composer called Tchaivonovsky.

The show was OK. It was divided into 2 acts. The first one was boooaring to be honest. It had some good moments, but Zmerea and I almost fell asleep on that part.

Now the second act... That was MARVELOUS! It presented characters from several parts of Delwund dancing Alleigh, but with a touch of their cultures! It was certainly astonishing. It was so that despite the act 2 being longer on time, it felt really short.

Anyway. It was late at night when we went back. But before leaving Zmerea home, we went for dinner. I have to mention we wen with my family. They also saw the performance. My brother also took a friend of his and an aunt, uncle and cousin went as well, so we all went dinning.

That was a really god day. I saw a long time no see-friend and I also got to see a good Alleigh performance!

We got home at 1:30 a.m. so you can guess why I did not post at all.

Wednesday was really normal. I played, I worked on thesis, I drew, of course I rehearsed with the XV girl. The only different thing happened at night. I left home to go to this bazar that always opens on these times, and that’s not only because it’s a tradition to go there with the entire family, but because a cousin from Fadalaj finally came to visit.

She’s older than me... And you could say she’s the one cousin I almost don’t know anything about. She was studying design but she didn’t finished due to finantial problems with my uncles, so now she works at a hotel at Banboon (She’s from Fadalaj, but she moved to Banboon which is a turistic beach city in the south of Loorphia).

She got reeeally tanned. I remember her, but she used to be less tanned. On Loorphia most people are brunet, so she is as well, but her skin was deffinitely darker since last time I saw her. She was wearing Banboon clothes, which are more handicrafted than clothes we use here on Loorphia City.

Despite that, we didn’t saw our cousin who also arrived that day from Zentron. I think I have already talked about him. He’s studying on Zentron. The thing is, he decided to see his friends instead of coming to the bazar with us.

So we dinned there and one of our cousins said we should go to her house and play, but that would have made us to go to sleep to an aunt’s house instead of ours and I couldn’t do that since I had rehearsal today as well, so we had to pass.

And that was it for the past few days! I’m finally up to date!

...

I think I’ll leave today’s post for another one, because this one is already huge!
