One Motto at a Time

Coin?Step?Press? Arrghh...

I cannot decide what the main theme of the rebuilding of Bohol's FGC is... I know this can be very simple as to pick any of those words but this is a huge thing because it could be very well the thing that makes this project make it or gulp, break it.

Your opinion would really help.

Thanks in advance. Peace out.

Bohol Arcadium Reopens!

So I just 'reopened' my little arcade back. I still have one arcade per se (with an Xbox 360 system)  but I also still have my PS3 with my dependable arcade sticks. As expected, business is starting slow but mostly because I still haven't 'really' to spread and advertise the shop as much as I want to. I want to see if how far rhe local "word of mouth" will get me because back in the day, this is how arcades grew to be popular. The place with competition and great atmosphere always gets attention and attention means customers.

 Yes, I know I am a hypocrite for saying this (Chard, we have the internet, and radio...and phones or Chard, you are the only one that has an arcade...or any interest in fighting games whatsoever) but meh, I'm trying to do things old school. An arcade, like any other business, is dependent on it's customers so what I'm trying to see here is if the current FGC (or Fighting Game Community for the confused, like Olivier) of Bohol has any interest of expanding their borders out of and on their own. Besides the current FGC, I would also like to see if there are new faces willing to join Bohol's FGC.

I know I will get to advertising soon enough but it's always a pleasure to see when a person's interest, drive and passion for fighting games (or just gaming, in general) causes him to come over and not only play, but share this love with other gamers like us.

So come on everyone. Hog singko are.


One Step at A Time.
Peace out.

Le Recovery Guide to Breakups

I've always wanted to put this here but I always thought it wouldn't be necessary and who am I to give advice on this kind of topics but then again, you grow up, mature a little and begin to acknowledge that shit really happens in real life and the experience you get from this moments will benefit others...even in the slightest bit. Besides, this is just my lame ass excuse to post a new topic here so read on.

First is acceptance. And dealing with that shit. All breakups are painful. You'll feel a whirlwind of emotions and sometimes, they will come out and when they do, let them. Be as emo as you want. Just don't go overboard and post random shit on your Facebook wall like "So alone, want to die" (or worse, hurt yourself. That's just dumb.)  It will feel awful. It will feel bad. That is expected. It is important to let yourself feel all these emotions (aka 'the feels') to help you heal. I know this sounds cliche but this will make you stronger overall. Once you've accepted this then you can begin getting rid of things that remind you "strongly" of your ex (like pictures and personal accessories) I don't know if it will speed up your recovery but I'm pretty sure it will help.

Second: Distractions. Keep yourself busy to disrupt your minds' thoughts. Work can be one thing but what I really mean is drown yourself in your hobbies. If you don't have any, then it's the perfect time to think of one or if you're bored with your hobbies, time to take up a new one. Do these things to keep you

Third: Support. Look to friends and family for support. I don't know how to stress this enough. A simple hug, tap in the back or long talk goes a long way. This people will always be there for you (I hope) and will help you in any way that they can.  If you have neither (or just looking for additional hugsies), then this place helps http://thenicestplaceontheinter.net/  

Lastly, keep your head up. And the best thing? Your significant other is out there, still waiting for you. New possibilities! Don't be sad and be excited on this fact.
