Game Creation
Projects galore… and more

It is never new to read that I would suddenly have a new idea of sorts. I have been chronicling them on this very blog spot of mine for nearly 2 years. Some has been successfully completed. Some. Not many… but still they were successes. Success to me. Nothing commerciable or anything. Like my MMORPG proposal. Some stories written…. “Princess and her tale”…. and some drawing here and there. Okay… I admit it… there is still so many to follow up with.

But that doesnt mean I am discarding the old ideas. No… I dont discard them. Especially since they are good ones. Some are still very much close to my heart, but it is just that I dont have the skill to do them. Conceptually I am definitely letting time refine them (in my head). Two main ones which I will see them through (unless I die first) would be Conquer and a comic book/graphic novel/prose book (still to be named).

On the side, I think it is not too ambitious to focus on other things that may be similar. Hopefully, these smaller bits will prepare me for the big ones.

For the next month or two, I will hope to show you a simple game I will be creating. Nothing flashy. Simple, 2D, non-brainy games. I will be using a software to do it (Game Maker)… which is free. My reasoning is this: If I can handle making these games using the free stuff… then I have the ’skill’ to use more ‘commercial’ ones to make better games.

So we will see. The clock will be ticking frommmmmm………… now.

CPA
Road to excellence?

Yep…. cant’ forget the fact that I will be preparing for my professional paper at the end of October. Sad isnt it? Costs me a bomb. Sigh….

Some PwC Crap
Jerks abound

Nothing pisses me off than to hear about certain jerks in my former employment which transcends the jerk level to the level of plain idiocy. This particular high-flying boot licking jerk of a manager (assistant manager), made my ex-colleague cry. Why did the person cry? Think about it… you work your butt off for a whole week, and still being pushed to the minute AND scolded… while having to be concern with your newly born child!!!!!!! Any freaking mother would be devastated! Dont give me the crap about ‘that’s the job’ coz it aint! I know many people from the firm who became mothers and still found it possible to give care to their children because managers (good ones who are not jerks like these people) actually understand their predicament.

And you know what’s the irony? This guy… once told me he that he was darn religious, prays every morning to his idol/god and is blessed etc… I told him before that ‘you can have all the success in your career… all I want is to live out my purpose in life’. I remember adding… ‘I will never want to push people or hurt people in my career progress…’ when he mentioned something about sacrifices in getting success.

Man, I am real mad. This single guy is screwed up. That’s corporate life for you in the wrong hands.

At least I have my humanity intact.

Thank God!
