The Sims 2 House Designs (Part 2) + Updates

First half of My Year-End Blog Post.

First of all, I'd like to apologize to the few people who read this blog for not being able to update it for more than 3 weeks. I got really busy for the first few days following my last post, and then it got really emotionally crazy after that. Actually, up till now, I got tons of personal drama in my pocket. I'm gonna spill out some of them later, but first...

Super THANK YOU! =) To everyone who made it possible for my blog to reach more than 1,600 pageviews. I know it's not a big deal for most bloggers, but for me, it is. I just started this thing last month, and I can't believe that every single day someone out there reads at least a post of mine. I was expecting I would get some because I do some SEO tricks, but I wasn't expecting this much. So, super thanks to my readers! =)

Anyway, let's get to the main subject of this post: The Sims 2 house designs. Like what I said before, I play The Sims primarily because I get to build and redesign houses. I also promised you that I will show you the interiors of the house I was working on when it's already done. Well, I'm sorry, but that's not gonna happen anymore. I had to delete the whole game because I messed up the installation, so all my work there got flushed. After re-installing the game right, I tried redesigning the same house, but I eventually got bored with it. Well, with the "baggage" that I had, I really couldn't have functioned well.

Only yesterday was I able to temporarily pause all the negativity around me and decide to play the game again. I redesigned a much smaller house and made it really big. I forgot to take a "before" picture, so all that you're gonna see next is the aftermath. Enjoy!

There ya go! Sorry for the lack of photos, hehe. I hope you all like my Sims 2 house. It's not much, but it's a good start. There's much more to come in the future! So, any thoughts? Please post a comment! =)

Now, for the 2nd half of the 1st half of my year-end post. Let me tell you some bits about my current personal drama...

The day I wrote my previous post was the day someone broke my heart. I was left hanging for a couple of weeks without proper closure, and I suffered so much inside. The torture finally ended a week ago when I found out that everything was a lie and that I got cheated on for months. Yes, the waiting did stop, but a bigger blow came right after. It was a really big blow, but at least it was just one time, and from then on I was able to officially move on. Until now, the wounds are still fresh because every now and then the clot is scratched off, but I know I'm moving forward. Painful and slow, but certain.

I gotta give credit to all my friends who stood by me, picked up the pieces of my shattered heart and ego, and tried to put them back together. I can't name you all here, but you guys know who you are, so thank you! And an extra special thanks to the one who rescued me. *wink* =)

Next drama: family. You know those moments where you and your family are in this happy car ride or something and then minutes later you're all lashing out at one another? Well, that happened to me on our way to an outreach program/Christmas party/family reunion a couple of weeks ago. And I swear, it was like this scene in a soap opera where the people are pouring out the things that they've been keeping in their head one minute, and then they're all pretending nothing happened the next because they're in a social gathering. Hahaha! It was funny and heartbreaking at the same time. Well, all is well now. Feelings have been heard and lessons have been learned. And so, we're moving on together.

Drama number 3: Christmas weekend. The original plan was to spend Christmas Eve at Nasugbu, Batangas, and then tour Tagaytay City up to the 26th. However, things went horribly wrong. The place at Nasugbu turned out to be outrageously crappy, so nobody had fun. The next day, Kuya got so sick that we had to rush him to the hospital and cancel the whole trip. It was the 2nd time that we spent Christmas in a hospital. =( Then, just yesterday, we found out that an uncle of mine died. Sigh... All these things happened in just one month! Imagine how jam-packed my baggage is! =(

Looking back at how 2010 generally went, it's only right for me to consider this year as by far the best and the worst. But, as what I've said, lessons have been learned, and there's no other thing to do but to keep moving forward. In fact, I'm really excited about God's plans for me next year. My capacity to love and trust may have all been drained, but not my love and trust for Him. =)
