LITERARY: Level 18: The Speedrun

Hello! Ako nga pala si Kevin Chua. Kilala ako ng mga kaibigan at pamilya ko na mahilig maglaro ng video games. Mula sa arcade games hanggang sa mga laro sa aking selpon, mula dekada ‘80 hanggang sa mga bagong labas, lahat ng iyan ay nalaro ko na. Pero naiiba ako sa ilang mga gamer dahil ang paraan ko ng paglalaro ay tinatawag na speedrun.

Ano nga ba ang isang speedrun? Simple lang: ito ang paglalaro ng isang video game, o isa sa mga lebel at misyon nito, sa pinakamabilis na paraan at oras na posibleng mong magawa. Popular itong ginagawa sa mga franchise katulad ng Super Mario Bros. at Pokémon, na kadalasan ay maraming subplot at mga misyon na pinagdadaanan. Ilan sa mga sikat na halimbawa ng speedrun ay ang ginawa ni Torje mula Norway nang tapusin niya ang "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" sa loob ng 16 na minuto. Isa pa ay ang speedrun ng orihinal na Super Mario Bros. ni Niftski na inabot ng 4 na minuto nitong Agosto 2022 lamang.

Subalit ngayon ay susubukan ko ang pinakamahirap na speedrun na aking pagdadaanan.

Ang Level 18.

Binalaan na ako ng ilang nakatatandang kaibigan. Sabi nila, ang Level 18 ay sadyang mahirap dahil hindi ito isang video game.

Mangyayari ito sa totoong buhay.

Bukas ay mau-unlock ko na ang lebel na ito. Sa totoo lang, nakararamdam ako ng kaunting kaba dahil hindi ko alam ang mga misyong aking tatahakin. Kung hindi man ako magtagumpay, masaya na ako na mapagdadaanan ko ito.

Pagsapit ng umaga…

Uy, andito ka pa pala. Sakto, kagigising ko pa lang. Opisyal na ako magle-level up ngayon. At sa tingin ko ay magsisimula na ang aking unang misyon: si Nanay.

“Happy birthday anak! Sana naging maganda ang gising mo ngayon,” iyan ang unang bati sa akin ni Nanay pagbaba ng hagdan. Pinaghandaan niya ako ng almusal, at bigla akong napaisip: kaya ko ba i-speedrun ang pagkain ng almusal? Huwag, baka mabilaukan ako. Dadahan-dahanin ko na lamang, lalo at kasabay ko si Nanay.

Pagkaupo sa hapag-kainan, agad akong tinanong ni Nanay: “Anak, may jowa ka na ba?”

Napatigil ako at umubo. May tubig yatang pumasok sa ilong ko. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang aking sasabihin o isasagot.

“Wala pa po, bakit?”

“Ah, wala lang. Masaya lang kasi ako na 18 ka na, at na-realize ko rin na hindi ka na bata, kaya akala ko may special someone ka.”

Napatahimik na lang ako pagkatapos niyang sabihin iyon. Pero naiintindihan ko naman ang punto niya. 18 na ako, mas madami na akong pwedeng gawin, at pagdadaanan. Ito ang iniisip ko habang tinatapos ko ang aking almusal.

Mission #1: Breakfast with Nanay - Completed! 15 mins and 23 seconds. Hindi na masama, bilisan ko nalang sa susunod…

Pagkatapos ko maligo at magbihis ay nagsimula na agad ang aking pangalawang misyon: ang mga bisita. Inabisuhan ako ni Nanay na dadalaw sina Tita Mandy at Tito Caloy, kasama ang kanilang mga anak na sina Lianna at Vincent. Nagulat ako sa anunsyong ito, lalo na at ngayon lang sila bumalik ulit galing Amerika. Inayos ko na ang sarili ko, at makalipas ang ilang minuto ay narinig ko na ang kanilang pagdating.

Sinalubong ko sila at agad na kinuha ang dala nilang pancit malabon at chicken barbecue— dalawa sa mga paborito kong pagkain.

“Kevin! How are you? Ngayon lang ulit kita nakita! You’re all grown up!” bati ni Tito Caloy sabay yakap nang mahigpit.

“Ah, eh, ok lang naman po. Nasaan po pala sina Lianna at Vincent?”

“Ay sandali lang ah, may inaasikaso lang sa kotse kasi maraming dala si Tita Mandy mo.”

“Ano pong dala niya?” tanong ko kay Tito. ‘Di naman ako assuming na may regalo sila sa akin, pero sigurado ako na may balikbayan box silang dala.

“Sikreto na lang namin iyon. Abangan mo mamaya.” sabi niya sakin habang nakangiti. Maituturing ko na itong isang sidequest na napagtagumpayan, pero hindi pa tapos ang buong misyon.

Kinamusta ko rin sina Lianna at Vincent. Bakas na nagkakahiyaan pa kami sa isa't isa. Palagay ko'y may kaniya-kaniyang lebel din silang inaatupag.

Mission #2: Pagsalubong sa Bisita - Completed! 8 mins and 47 seconds. Akala ko tatagal ako sa pagtabi ng mga gamit nila, pero 1 minuto ko lang itong nagawa!

Pero alam ko talaga sa sarili na ang “final boss” ng lebel na ito ay si Tita Mandy.

Sa totoo lang, mahirap kasama si Tita Mandy tuwing may okasyon ang pamilya. Ang hilig niya kasing magtanong ng kung ano-ano, lalo na sa birthday celebrant. Nauunawaan ko namang galing siya sa Amerika, at ngayon lamang kami nagkita. Oo, kukumustuhan niya lang ako pero kapag sinimulan ko nang sagutin ang mga tanong niya, hindi na ako makatatakas pa. Naaalala ko pa noong 13th birthday ko nang nagpaalam akong pupunta sa palikuran. Pero, sa dami ng tanong niya ay hindi man lang ako nakaabot doon. Alam kong nahuhulaan niyo na ang kinahinatnan ng kabiguan kong makaabot sa palikuran.

Ngunit sabi nga nila: “All’s well that ends well”. Handa na akong simulan ang pinal na misyon.

Sinalubong ko si Tita Mandy sa pinto. Bitbit niya ang kanyang maleta at ang malaking balikbayan box na himalang nagkasya sa kotse nila. Binati niya ako habang itinabi ko ang mga gamit niya. Buti na lang at una niyang kinamusta si Nanay at medyo matagal silang nag-usap. Nagkaroon ako ng sapat na oras para paghandaan ang aming nakatakdang paghaharap. Pagkatapos nito ay sinabi ni Nanay: “Uy, kain na tayo!” at sabay-sabay na kaming umupo sa hapag-kainan.

Final mission: start.

Hindi pa ako nakasasandok ng kanin ay nagtanong na agad si Tita. “Kevin, kamusta? Ngayon lang ulit kita nakita! Lumaki ka na ah! Dati ang liit-liit mo lang, pero ngayon binatang-binata ka na!”

Napatawa na lang ako.

“Iho, oo nga pala! Malapit ka na mag-kolehiyo diba? May alam akong magandang kolehiyo sa Amerika, pwede kang makakuha ng scholarship doon kung suwerte ka!”

“Sige po Tita, tignan ko po online—”

“Sabi pala sa akin ng nanay mo na wala ka pang jowa. Totoo ba yon? Sa itsura mong ‘yan akala ko mayroon ka na!”

“Wala pa po eh. ‘Di pa po ako ready maghanap ng—”

“Pwede ka na rin pala mag-apply ng trabaho! Kahit part-time lang! May kaibigan ako na negosyante, sakto naghahanap sila ng empleyado—”

“Tita, excuse lang po ha. Nay, pwede mo ba akong samahan sa taas?”

Kinailangan kong i-pause nang sandali ang misyon at umakyat papunta sa kwarto ko. Nagtataka si Nanay kung bakit kailangan niya pa akong samahan. Pagkaupo namin sa kama, nagtanong ako kay Nanay. “Nay, Bakit po ba ang hilig magtanong ni Tita Mandy? Ganoon na lang po siya palagi. Alam ko naman po na masaya po siya ulit na makita ako, pero bakit po ba gusto niyang malaman ang LAHAT ng nangyayari sa buhay ko?”

Huminga nang malalim si Nanay. “Alam mo kasi anak, ganyan dapat sana ako sa iyo ngayon. Katulad ng Tita Mandy mo, marami din akong gustong tanungin sayo na sana ay masagot mo dahil 18 ka na. Pero habang pinapanood kitang tumanda, napagtanto ko na dapat suportahan na lang kita sa mga gagawin mong desisyon sa iyong buhay, dahil alam ko naman na gusto mo ito. Pagpasensyahan mo na siya, anak.”

Tumahimik ang kapaligiran nang kaunti at inisip ko ang mga sinabi ni Nanay. Tama nga ang mga kaibigan ko. Dapat pala ay hindi ko ginagawang speedrun ang Level 18. Ito ang lebel na dapat marahan ang pagtahak. Kapag marahan ang pagtahak sa mga misyon ng buhay, palagay ko'y mas marami akong matututunan. Hindi kailangang magmadali sapagkat marami pang misyon ang kailangang lagpasan.

Final Mission 3: Tanungan ni Tita Mandy - Failed. Speedrun - Failed.

Ok lang sa akin na hindi ako nagtagumpay. Sa tingin ko, dapat lubusin ko ang mga araw na nasa Level 18 pa lang ako, dahil isang beses ko lang itong pagdadaanan. Kaya ang maipapayo ko na lang sa mga taong sasabak pa lang sa lebel na ito ay hindi ito dapat minamadali. Mayroon ka pa namang 364 na araw para gawin ang lahat ng mga misyon mo. Hindi nagsisimula at nagtatapos ang buhay sa Level 18. Sa katotohanan, bawat araw ay may mga misyong kailangang i-clear. Naunawaan kong ang buhay ay para ring laro -- puno ng pagwawagi at pagkabigo. Maaaring madaliin, pero masaya rin kung mabagal at uunti-untiin.

Paalam sa iyo, at happy 18th birthday sa akin.

#shadow talks #the bottom pair + stantler were completely random encounters i stumbled across while trying to get enough dex entries for the perrin quest #all found within the span of 2 hours. #while poliwhirl was the first and only other phase on my hunt for ducklett who shone up almost immediately after #all full odds<3 the next targets are timburr and maybe sewaddle #and then if i still have time before the second dlc ill go back to gen 5 to try for golett/golurk and blitzle/zebstrika.. #way lower odds though so i dont expect to actually accomplish this and will instead just use the regular forms in the dlc team #6th member/starter replacement is ogerpon btw love her #shiny pokemon #pokemon #OH and the duckletts name is moneta and stantlers is garland very important info

LITERARY: Dream Diary

Hello.

I am a person just like you. I won’t tell you my name, age, sexual orientation, or where I’m from, but I do want to tell you a few things about me.

The thing is I am a person, just like you. Well, not exactly like you. What sets me and you apart is my photographic memory. I discovered it when I was a kid, because every time my parents asked me about an event that happened in my life, I just seemed to remember every detail of it. It just occurs naturally, like remembering how many steps I took yesterday, or memorizing the tracking numbers of the items I ordered online. But something that has been a passion of mine is dreams –knowing if my photographic memory works in dreams. What? You don’t believe me? Fine. I’ll write down my dreams and thoughts to prove it. It might also help me learn more about myself—what’s been boggling me and if my unique skill can help with it.

Are you ready to know them?

Here we go:

Saturday, October 8

11:46 PM I dreamt about my life as a college student. I feel anxious. I feel nervous. Although I already feel ready for college life, mine won’t start till next year.

Sunday, October 9

12:19 AM Something’s on my mind. I’m sweating bullets and I have never felt this feeling before. What if I don't get accepted into my dream college? What if I regret the courses that I picked? Who will be my friends? Will I even have friends? There’s a hundred thousand questions running through my brain. I hope I can still sleep tonight.

12:43 AM How many schools should I apply to again? 1? No, that’s probably too risky. But I would be mistaken to think of it as just a game. That’s right, at least 4 schools have opened their gates for brand new students. I think I’ll try all of them.

1:06 AM I think I will start praying again, and I’ll pray like I’ve never prayed before.

Monday, October 10

12:06 AM The most remarkable dream happened tonight, and it was filled with trains and robots. I was at a train station with my friend, and we were running away from something. I don't know what it was, but my friend was yelling, “We have to get away before it kidnaps us!” We bolted inside the next bullet train that stopped by, and we went on our way to escape. It sounds like a good science fiction/action movie in my opinion.

12:18 AM I remember my dream friend’s name: Monte. While we were on the train, he told me that he used to work for a company that develops artificial intelligence in hopes that it will help people in their everyday lives. But things changed when the company experimented on combining humans and robots (they’re called man-droids/robot-men) to the point that they had to kidnap people because nobody was willing to volunteer for trials. He said that we’re lucky to escape, but warned that they’re always watching.

1:15 AM I can remember waking up in a bed with strobe lights (this is different from the first dream that I had). I was in an apartment with a great view of the city skyline. It just stops there.

Tuesday, October 11

12:00 AM “Will you take this man as your loving husband, and promise to cherish your love forever?” “I…I do—” “STOP THE WEDDING!”

12:46 AM Something has been boggling me. Social issues. Why am I thinking about it in my sleep? My brain can’t comprehend all of this.

12:48 AM Update: It’s 2022, why are there still people with big egos? Grow up please, don’t act like you’re always the center of attention when you’re in public.

1:14 AM Do I know someone named Bobby? Or is it spelled like Bobbie? I think he was my neighbor who moved out three years ago because of divorce.

No, I think it’s the pizza delivery rider.

2:23 AM Another thing on my mind: it’s 37 minutes before the witching hour. I have to sleep now or I will get nightmares.

Wednesday, October 12

12:09 AM What’s a good isekai anime name? I think it should be creative and crazy at the same time.

12:30 AM Ok, I have narrowed it down to two titles: That Time I Got Reincarnated as A Human to Go Outside for the First Time During the Pandemic and That Time I Got Reincarnated to Write A Story About Why Pineapple Belongs on Pizza. They both sound familiar, I can’t put my finger on it as to why.

1:46 AM I dreamt about something that felt important. I saw a star. It was up on a mountain very far away from where I was. Something (or someone) told me that it was my destiny to capture the star and protect it. But they also told me that a lot of other people want it too. Some of them are stronger, smarter, and faster than me. I didn’t know who these people were, but I had to accept the challenge and I manifested it in me that I would be the one to get that star.

Thursday, October 13

12:02 AM I have been thinking about the dream I had yesterday. What did it mean? Why did I dream about it? Is it some sort of symbolism of the events happening in my life? I will not lie, it is a very good dream, but something tells me that my mind has a message for me, and I just cannot interpret it properly.

12:55 AM I dreamt about… John Krasinski? Why was I dreaming about him? This is a first for me.

12:58 AM Update: I think I was dreaming about John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. I think I’m still amazed to this day that they’re husband and wife. But every time I see John Krasinski by himself, I would never think that Emily Blunt is his wife. And every time I see Emily Blunt by herself, I can never tell that John Krasinski is her husband. I know I have photographic memory, but why do I have to keep reminding myself about it? That part makes me laugh.

(I will say though, John Krasinski is a good-looking man. Emily is lucky that she married a guy like him.)

1:21 AM I dreamt about two queens on a stage standing before me. I said that it was their last chance to impress me and the judges in order to stay in the competition. I wished them good luck, and hoped that they would not mess it up.

Friday, October 14

12:07 AM Yesterday I wished at 11:11 pm, hoping that I would pass all of the college entrance exams that I will take. I also wished for more blessings for my family. I hope it works.

12:27 AM Just like Doctor Strange, I have been thinking about all of the possible paths that would shape my college life. A lot really depends on which university I will go to: the course that I will take and the people that I will meet. But my intuition tells me that the one path I hope to take will be traveled, and I know my intuition is always right.

1:44 AM Ducks. I just spent 30 minutes dreaming about them. I found out that it is better to raise ducks when they are in a group, as they are social animals.

I think that’s cute. Quack quack.

2:18 AM Since it is almost the weekend, I get the chance to stay up late and sleep whenever I want. But I have to be prepared because next week is the most stressful week I will face (so far).

It is the calm before the storm.

Saturday, October 15

12:03 AM Someone just spoke to me. They did not have a face, so I will just classify them as an entity. This entity said that I have been brave this week. Why? Because I faced all my fears that I knew past me would never try to dive into. They knew that a lot of emotions were being expressed, and they thought that I, a nobody, could be so stressed and happy (and sad and energetic) at the same time. They were so proud of me. But alas, this is only a dream, although I think I can recall this scene from Detroit: Become Human.

12:59 AM Quack quack. Quack quack. (Note: I’m sorry, I can’t stop dreaming about ducks.)

Well, I can conclude that all of my dreams and thoughts this week have been….interesting, to say the least. I guess college admissions really stressed me out. Could I possibly have been a duck in my previous life? Wouldn’t that be funny? A duck with photographic memory quack quack —Anyway, I hope that I proved you wrong, dear reader. Dreams can be remembered, and it just goes to show that every dream is different depending on what you were feeling before you slept. On that note, I think you should try and take note of what you're dreaming about, and then look back on it the next day.

Until then, I will see you soon. It was nice talking to you.

Quackity Pokémon team!

Dex used: Unova (I also cheated and used an alola starter oops)

Litten (starter, never evolved)

Ducklett (ace, never evolved, named tenta culos)

Shiny umbreon

Spheal (never evolved, named oi oi)

Porygon-2

Absol

I don’t think Quackity would battle with his team but not because it’s a (super) weak team! He loves his Pokémon like pets and would only battle them with friends!

phase 1 for swadloon! took roughly 3,000-4,000 encounters, i'm unsure how many exactly as the number on the back of the trainer card counts double battles as 1 encounter (and the games froze a couple of times in the middle of hunting....😓). still nice to have a short hunt after how bad my luck in these gens has been outside of safari week

#shiny pokemon #shadow talks #the swadloon (if i get it) will be going on my indigo disk team along with the timburr and ducklett i already caught + a future golurk #with the last members being hearthflame ogerpon and either kingambit or zebstrika. depends #it'll probably come down to how long it takes me to get swadloon and golurk. since hunting full odds in sv is really fast lol
