Anabelle says goodbye

One of my starters in ACNH said her goodbye today. I've had Anabelle, the peppy anteater, for at least two years and I've always been shutting down her ideas of leaving the island. However, I've decided to let her go tonight. Anabelle was my first anteater on Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Letting her go had to be done as I need a cranky villager. But deciding to let her go was kind of a big deal, because she reminds me of my sister. Yet the town won't be complete without a cranky villager. Anabelle is the only viable option to go. 

There are many memories made with Anabelle. She was a natural starter. I would see her walking on the paths I've made while the island was getting set up for two years. She would photobomb while eating ice cream on the beach, she often sent me gifted letters, and I like her vivid coat pattern. She's also wearing the Raglan shirt I gave! 

Farewell, Anabelle! I'm sure we'll meet again someday.

Thanks for the company, Francene.

Thanks for being here, Francene. First, I wanted to post this image since I'm exploring presets for my ACNH screenshots. Second, I didn't know this screenshot would resonate a lot to me. I know it's weird to feel attached to a villager (or an NPC); but the same can be said to any character in a movie or a novel. Still when I look at this picture, I recall those real memories when I played the game.  The weary eyes, the fatigue coursing through the body, the short sleepless nights after, as well as the joy, relaxation, and humor involved in each game -- all of it is real. I mean I wrote about playing ACNH when I had COVID. I've missed the game from work during the exams administration period. We all feel and experience something when we play videogames, hence the nostalgia.   When my sister moved out to another province, it felt like a piece of me was taken away. It was a sudden move but it had to be. I've had a lot of questions in my heart and mind after. Will I mov

Ankha gifts an Espresso Maker

Image
The first two weeks before university opens and the two weeks after classes start is the most exhausting period at work. Things have to be set up for students. I have to start hiring someone. New employees have to be trained. I have to troubleshoot the system. Ensure all technology is working. This four week period involve a lot of work and patience. Fortunately, we're on the third week of classes now. Then I receive a fitting gift from Ankha! An Espresso Maker. I'm still hung over the Monday break and I'm glad I had a day-off, but I need to get away from work. I need an extended self-care day with my Espresso Maker. Alas, I need to interview someone today and provide a lecture in e-format to a student. This game gets how I feel. The new letters in my mailbox are a hit and miss, but when it's a hit the game connects with me in a profound way. I don't open my letters immediately too. And there's at least 150 now.

I did NOT expect to see THIS!

  I know that we have desktop computers and laptops in the game, but A GAMING RIG?! This is the exact reason why I want to peck on this game rather than rush to get all items. I haven't delved in the Happy Home Paradise yet so I'm excited! The slow and steady route is fun! After all, each day on your island is a new day. This is only the lime colour! I won't spoil myself finding out what other variations are present. I absolutely geeked out when I saw it for sale -- and it's less than 60k bells. Finding an item like this is also the reason why devs have to keep updating Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It's a good investment! But if they're working on a 60fps engine instead, then I'm fine with that too!
