Goodbye Adobe Flash, You Will Be Missed.

 Everyone has a thing which constituted the majority of their childhood. As an only child born in the mid 2000's who had access to the internet, that thing for me was flash games. Any game you see a kid playing on the internet was probably a flash game. Flipline Studios, GirlsGoGames, RoundGames, Kongregate and Agame.com were my most frequented websites on the internet.

Before you classify me as a couch potato hikkokomori kind of person,  I would like you to remind you that with these games us children bonded, laughed, named characters, and even made game jingles together. The internet was our hangout spot.

Why Goodbye, you may ask? Well, this December, Adobe Flash, the software that most of these games ran on, will be discontinued.

It was the first thing that happened in this world that told me my childhood had ended. It was emotional, and gut-wrenching, but life goes on. There are some things you can download in which you can play most of these games, but still, it was an end.

"But times change, and so must I", I reminded myself from the Doctor Who speech. I looked back on all the memories they gave me. Especially yelling "Mummyyyyy" to show her what I had made in one of these games.Papa and me playing the Kingdom Rush series late at night. Heck, I'm getting emotional as a write this post. I spent hours playing these games.

Below is a list of the games I played, to take a trip down the memory lane, and also to serve as list to see the games which I have to download 😋.

Disney Princess Beauty Parlour
Uphill Rush Series
My Dear Boss series
Earn to Die series
Kingdom Rush Series
Azaleas Dolls' Games
Papa Louie Series
Nicklodeon Games
Barbie Dress Up Games series
Dora's Kitchen
Sue's Games (these are in korean, I have no Idea what is happening in these games 90% of the time, and that's the fun)
My Dolphin Show series
Avie's Games
Bear's Pancakes 
My New Room Series
Vector 3d
Winx Games
Mattel Barbie Games
Bloons TD 5
My Monkey City
There Is No Game 
Shopaholic Series
 
So there you go, those are all the games, or at least those which I can remember at the moment. Now you know I wasn't crying for no reason.
 
So, Goodbye Adobe Flash, you will be missed.
 
Sorry far the late post again. 9th grade is really not letting me have a life of my own. See y'all next week!

Shimla

 I ditched my school farewell to go on a trip to Shimla with my mom and her friends. I don't regret it one bit.  I have spoken before about how I'm not particularly attached to my school in The End of School Life . So missing my farewell was not that big of a deal for me. Shimla was spectacular and the trip of a lifetime. Shimla is known for being beautiful. It is straight out of a fairytale. The mountains, the roads, the shops, all are very remarkable and unique.  The mountainous streets were very tiring and new to us plain dwelling creatures. There is an absence of autos in the roads of Shimla and instead there are only buses which were no less than a roller coaster for me, with the meandering roads which also decrease and increase in elevation. During the night the mountains, with their lights look like a grand tapestry. I bought a bubbles toy which made huge bubbles- bigger than I had ever seen before. The sellers blowed them on the street which made the already surre...

I look back to when I was eight

I look back and I go to when I was eight I used to look up to my seniors and think they were great They were so hard working, had it all figured out But now I'm that age and I'm just filled with doubt When I was younger everything used to be black and white But now everything is jut hues of grey Everyone seems to think that my future is bright And I don't know what to say I finally understand how quickly time flies I feel so lost, don't know what to do in life Everyone else seems to have it all figured out And I am the only one who is left out But I realized now that it is not all bad In the end, everything is gonna be all right As long as I stay happy and keep working hard What everyone else thinks will lose its might And I will only live for myself Be content with what I have After all, when everyone else has left I will be all that I have

Pets

 I think almost everyone has had pets in their entire life at least once. It is 2012, I am six years old. We saw a lone parrot outside near our house, looking nervous and afraid. We were afraid a cat may attack him, since there was an abundance of them in the area we lived in. Naturally, we decided to adopt him. He was fully grown, and it was obvious that someone else had previously owned him, since he frequently said "roti de do" meaning " give me roti." We bought a cage that was big enough for him, and even let him out once in a while. We called him Mithhu Miya. He used to start squaking at around 9 am in the morning, much to our annoyance. He later passed away.  It is 2017. An elderly lady we know just called my mother requesting us to adopt two bunnies. We did some research about them, and decided to adopt them too. She told us that they were female. Uh, well, turns out, one of them was a male. The female, named Innie, later gave birth to five bunnies. There was...
