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!

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...

Slam Book

 6-year-old me enters a book shop, mesmerised. Surrounded by book shelves filled with the things I love, I quickly ran up to one that interested me. It said Slam Book at the top, whatever that meant. It was filled with different questions. How interesting! You could answer the whole book filled with different questions on every page, and it could be like an encyclopaedia about you! Or so my self centered brain thought. Turns out, it's just the same questions repeated again and again, and  other  people are supposed to fill it, like your classmates when you're leaving school so that you can look back on the MeMoRIeS later on. My disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined. Four years pass. I get an idea. Why not fill a slam book, but you answer the questions intended for each person yourself, with a regular gap in time between them, so that you can see how you change over time? Like a diary for lazy people. I followed through. Wrote every month. But only two time...

..Oops

 Sorry for not posting for so long. Still have no idea what I'm going to post..so here's a short update of my life. There is a beautiful  Sahajayoga qawwali video coming up, Diwali was epic as usual, new BTS album, and related zoom party with a fan friend is coming up, Enola Holmes is a freaking amazing movie,(They made Sherlock likeable?) and my plans to study during the Diwali holidays were sabotaged by the common cold. Not  the other virus, btw. Also, Isabella is getting naughtier day by day? What did I ever do to her? Did she really had to take after her mother, and not the more well behaved Fluffy? Cutie is going out more these days..guess that's compensation for the couch potato (blanket potato?) phase she had earlier.. This turned into a more ramble of my thoughts rather than an update of my life, but I guess that's more entertaining.. In the end, of this blog post which I guess suddenly turned into a speech? I would like to say that if you're going outside, ...
