last night you wept while she was sleeping
Remember when they warned you about the ups and downs of starting up. Today is one of those downs. And you’re hoping it’s just a local minima.
Today, you learned that there are some things that you can only talk about in bed. And you don’t just mean the sexual.

Last night, you and your girlfriend bought popcorn then sat in front of the Solomon Kane preview screen and spent 1 and a half hour watching it. Because everyone knows the preview is the best part of a movie.
Your dear Uncle Ramir died yesterday. January 2, 2010. He was suffering from a terminal illness. He had just left his wife for his high school sweetheart. But he was struggling to keep his kids together. He did not tell anyone. Refusing to take treatment, he spent his days in the beaches of Bati-awan.

Hapy Birth + 1 Day!
Yesterday was your 22nd birthday. You did not celebrate it. You wanted to celebrate it with your girlfriend. But you can’t because you were out of town (company outing). She really wanted to be with you. Or so you thought.

This is just your job. And even though you feel the need to “perform”, something at the back of your head keeps reminding you how much you hate this.

“If some element of your game design isn’t interesting enough to work...”

Game Idea!!
The player is told to close his eyes. Players will cheat and open their eyes. The prompt on the screen will say “You cheated!!”
