I totally forgot that Good Friday is today! The reason I knew was only because yesterday I was chatting with one of my coworkers and before we finished our conversation he said, “enjoy your three-day weekend”. I was confused and had to ask him why and he replied “Good Friday, no workie”. Now that today I woke up knowing this fact, all this things are going through my head.

Puerto Rico it is very religious, or at least when I was raised, Good Friday is like a big thing. You can’t go out, school is closed, actually school is closed the entire week. Some business were closed too, going out was frown upon, playing loud music — was frown upon. It was a day were everyone stayed home, watching Christian movies all day on almost every channel because regular programming was portably also frown upon.

I even remember when my birthday for whatever reason, it would fall on this week, it would have suck if it was on Good Friday. Luckily for me, the few times I remember my birthday, as a teenager, falling on this week was either Saturday or Sunday — phew!

So, right now I am blasting music, I am planning on doing yard work and who knows what else. In other words, I will be committing sin (😆).

It’s been about a month now, give or take, since the working from home/staying at home thing. Not a whole lot has changed in some aspects, like the girls are still going to the Grandparents house, that’s pretty much all my commute these days for me. Workload and all that jazz it’s pretty much the same except for some of the manual stuff, since I am not on site. I have more time for myself, I can play video games in my downtime or watch a movie if I wanted to, work out, etc. And for the most part I have been able to handle it pretty well, but then I have days like today, or rather, today is the first time I have realized this. I am bored to my mind, I am starting to feel kind of depressed, in a way. I am finding hard to motivate myself to keep motivated to stay active and work out. Today for example I was going to do my Yoga thing that I had got into this week and couldn’t do it. Also I am having a hard time concentrating “at work”, I know I have stuff to do and take care of but I am in this meh! state of mind I don’t like it. I barely know what day is what or anything that used to be routine and clear.

I am really having a hard time today.

WARRIORS OROCHI 4 Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch.

Well, I have done it, after lots of debating with I-self I did it! Over the weekend, I have purchased Warriors Orochi. I had been hesitant to buy it for a couple of reasons. There are other games I would also like to play that are also cheaper than this game. Some other games are coming out soon. Also, the Musou gaming style formula, it is one that, once you have played a game like this, you have pretty much played them all. I have played a lot of these games.

I have probably mentioned before, I have played the Dynasty/Samurai Warriors games since back in the PlayStation 2 days, Dynasty Warriors 3 being the first one, up to 9th (which it was a huge disappointment). Then, in between the regular games, you had the Extreme Legends editions and the Empires and the Orochi series, etc. There is a whole genre or series of games with the same formula and I have played a few of them like, ARSLAN: THE WARRIORS OF LEGEND, WARRIORS ALL-STARS, Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star, Fire Emblem Warriors and Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition. There is yet another game, kinda with the same formula that I belive it’s on the PS4 but I am waiting for the western release on the Switch which is Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers – so excited.

Anyhow, Warriors Orochi 4, like I said I was afraid that since I have played many of this type of game, that I would be bored or just play a little bit and put it to the side. Well, I am happy to report that, that has not being the case. I have been playing non-stop since I got it, I am enjoying this game with the same smile on my face as I remember enjoying DW3. Of course, it has come a long way since DW3, combat it’s a lot more fluid, you have more enemies on the screen which makes the hack and slashing through the field so satisfying. I am feeling right at home with this game. The strength of this game doesn’t lay in the story, especially on this one.

Set in a world on the brink of chaos, heroes from across the Warring States period of Japan and the Three Kingdoms era of China successfully defeat the evil Orochi and end his reign. These two worlds, merged by an unknown entity, are again threatened. As they begin to uncover the mystery surrounding their arrival, their discoveries lead them to one deity: Zeus, the supreme god among gods.

The controls are pretty easy to master, the action is good. In the previous games, you would select one hero and fight your way through thousands in battle, now, you have a team of three characters all with their unique abilities. I am kind of a one-man army mindset still, so even though I have three on my team, I pretty much use the same character. It plays well on handheld mode but I find it a wee bit better docked since there’s quite a lot going on on the screen. The voices in the game are all in Japanese, that doesn’t bother me except when I’m in battling my way through. There is a lot of interaction between different characters in the game and it is hard to pay attention to the text while you’re having fun hacking and slashing. I don’t think you can change the language, not sure.

Either way, I am having a blast with this game, it doesn’t require a lot of focus or too much thinking, which is excellent. Sometimes we need a “dumb” game, I am very delighted with my purchase.

I have never done Yoga before, or at least not on purpose. I have done some type of exercise before that may have been yoga-inspired, but that’s about it. Whit the pandemic situation, my workout routine and such have been obviously affected and much-needed restructuring. Thus, I thought starting doing yoga could be beneficial for both my body and mental stability. I got this little app that was recommended to me, Pocket Yoga for TV. There are others out there but this one does not require a subscription or anything so I thought I would give it a shot. Today I did my first 30 minutes session and it was okay. I mean, I definitely felt good about it and felt like I did a good session. I just had a little trouble with following a little, since I don’t know the oses or the correct names of them yet so I found myself having to look at the tv more than just listening and doing things. Also, I am not as flexible as I used to be, like at all. Probably because in the past year I have been focusing more on lifting than being functional.

Either way, I enjoyed it and I am looking forward to getting better at it.
