I figured I owe Hinano an apology for not playing the Renai Blogger game and saying my thoughts about it up until now, after all the work she’s put into making this, as I happen to be one of the characters in the game too. From the impression I get from the reviews, it seems that Hinano made me more sweet and cute and less flawed than I really am in real life, and I think of that as a compliment I can’t believe she featured Seleria too Then again, who am I to say this when I haven’t played the game myself?!

Last Saturday after I downloaded and installed the game on my PC, I was readying myself to play it, until I got invited by my aunt to watch the Cinderella musical (starring Lea Salonga). For free. Not once since I was born did I get to watch that kind of theatrical performance (or any kind of paid concert), so I thought it was quite a deal! I accompanied my busybody grandmother at home and helped out in doing chores in the house before the said concert, went to my aunt’s house to have an early dinner before going out, came home at 11pm after the show, and hit the sack not long after.

Then came Sunday, and I was greeted in the morning with the news about the real Skip Beat seiyuu cast (and discovery of ANN’s booboo), and it became a slippery slope after that. I went slice-of-life mode and reminisced about The Girl Who Leapt Through Time which I watched in the cinemas last last weekend, and finished up my thoughts on Nogizaka Haruka 1-3 which I’ve started writing since a week ago. Then I read the reviews of people about the Renai blogger instead of playing it myself, and I had such a great time reading their reviews that I already spent hours without knowing it T___T Then it was time to sleep orz. There goes my weekend!

I don’t have much time during weekdays as of late because I usually come home at around 9pm (or I don’t come home at all when I go total OT mode at work), peel apples for my brothers as a semi-daily routine, help my grandmother in the housework, and I have about 2 hours left to spend before going off to sleep. And because I wanted to enjoy the game to the fullest, I kept myself from playing it till I get at least one whole day (or one half-day) all to myself.

And now, just when I was thinking of finally playing the game this coming Saturday, then comes this invitation from a friend of mine to become a substitute teacher in his place (teaching basic computer programming concepts in our university) since he’ll be going on a trip the day before that, and won’t make it in time for his class. Since we’re talking about $70 (USD) at stake here, just for this one-time 9am to 4pm teaching gig, who am I to refuse? (That’s more than my pay at my regular work, mind you) I’m not so sure if I’ll have time to play afterwards, but what I do know is that I’ve set my Sunday free so I can finally play this game once and for all!

I was really excited to play this game, so excited that I was reluctant of clicking that executable button and actually play it because I know I’m gonna be sucked in and I’ll most likely be scolded by my grandma for staying up late yet again, only for her to see me playing lolz. Rest assured Hinano, I will play the game and I will write about it once I get to play it.

And, it turns out that this became a sorry excuse for a blog post, and I’m sorry about that too T__T
