candy crush and me

By now, those who has taken time to read my posts probably have an idea that I spend roughly 3.5 hours traveling to and from work, approximately 9 hours inside the office, an hour in the pantry,1.5 hours grooming myself, more or less 6 hours of sleep, and the rest is spent online while I simultaneously watch TV. A typical day for me. Basically 4 hours online spent on social networking sites... staying connected with relatives abroad, chatting and catching up with friends, looking at photos, cyber-stalking and playing games.

I think I do have time to blog more often that I have been doing so, but truth to be said, this has taken most of my online time :

CANDY CRUSH!

 I have been addicted to this game since the start of the year... so much that I even gave it up for 40 days as my Lenten sacrifice. I watched in terror as one by one, my friends passed by my level. Come Easter Sunday, I think I jumped higher than any Easter bunny as I clicked open my Candy Crush application. 

Believe it or not, I have quite a few life lessons that I learned by playing Candy Crush.

• Everything in life starts easy, as we travel through, things get a little harder. We need to know what the problem is for us to be able to succeed, and more often than not, it is always wiser to step back and see the bigger picture before we even take our first step. 
• Luck plays a big role. There will times when it will seem like there is no possible way to accomplish something, but out of nowhere,  something or someone will come along to help us. 
• There will always be super hard times, and would feel like giving up is the only option, but we need to look back at how far we have come and get inspiration from those who have hurdled the same difficulties. 
• No matter how great we strategize, or how lucky we are or how we are just simply awesome and beyond words great... we still need friends to go forward... the game just proves that no man is an island. 
• Chocolates are nice. A few of them is manageable, but once they get out of hand, that is when real trouble begins. 
• Lastly, there will really be times that we will fail, but as long as we are alive, or as long as we have friends who can help us in our lives... we can always always ....

try again after a broken heart! :)

See! It is not just a game... I can go on all day enumerating Candy Crush things I can relate to everyday life... But I really need to go finish level 254.
