As of this writing, it's December 25, 2013 and I'm at that point where I'm still wondering what purpose life holds for me. For this reason, I'm starting this blog to document my days as a bum (freeter, freeloader, etc...).

I resigned from work about 6 months ago because I felt that I wasn't happy with the way my life was going. My future was practically assured if I only continued working my ass off for this BPO company in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. The pay was okay and I had a lot of benefits. But since I wasn't happy, I felt that there was no point going through with it. Every time I went to work I had to put on a facade and sometime during those 3-4 years, I simply lost myself.

In the 6 months that I've been out of a job, I got in touch with my “younger self”. I've always enjoyed playing video games and I rediscovered that enjoyment once again. Before I discovered the joys and hardships of playing basketball, I was very much a video game addict. If left alone, I would play games like Street Fighter, Super Mario or Donkey Kong on our Family Computer (Famicom/NES) for hours on end. It was also through these games that I got to know my first friends.

Street Fighter 4 is still an enjoyable game even after 4+ years of its initial release

I was surfing the net one day when I chanced upon a website called the Humble Bundle. Basically, the site features bundles of games that you can buy for as low as a dollar. To cut the long story short, I purchased a bundle and started playing one of the games (I think that was Burnout Paradise), and I had an idea. I wanted to work on something that I really liked to do. As you've noticed it took me more than 6 months and 2 paragraphs to tell you the whole point of this post and blog. Is this really the thing for me? Will I find purpose in life by starting this blog? I really don't know the answer to that. However, I do know this, I'm going to give this site my all.

If you're reading this, I hope that you'll follow/join me in my journey to find meaning in life through playing video games. Hit up the comments section to share your thoughts about videogames and life in general.
