You are here. I was here. We both wish we were elsewhere.

By the gods, what have I become?

23rd December, 2025

I cannot find my place in this world.

I saw a video on God of War yesterday and it reminded me of my childhood. My mom worked for my grandfather then, and their office was based somewhere in Makati. I don't remember what they did for work, nor what their office looked like. I do, however, distinctly remember the gaming rental shop right beside their office. My brother and I spent so much time playing on one of their PS2 rentals and just going ham on whatever we could get our hands on--Spiderman, God of War, Kingdom Hearts, Tekken Tag, Ratchet and Clank. Whenever we would play story games, I would make him do the boss fights because I was a pussy. Whenever we would play PvP games, I would get mad at him because he would keep beating me and I was a sore loser. I wish I could relive those times, but my brother and I don't play together anymore. My mom doesn't work there anymore. My grandfather's long gone. It's his birthday today, by the way. He'd appreciate your greetings. And gaming rental shops are a thing of the past. I'm still a pussy and a sore loser, though. Some things from your childhood you just can't help but bring into adulthood, huh?

Maybe my place is in front of a console set-up, playing Baldur's Gate with my brother. I'll take that.
