Firstly, Games This is the greatest stronghold in my life, once i get my hands on the controller, trust me that for the following 12-15 hours, it will be a pain for me to leave the game hanging. Star Ocean is currently the game i am playing, whenever i play it, i will feel like i am in the world of theirs, venturing on an adventure of my own. This applies to Final Fantasy too. I can even bear to use some of my hard earned money and hard to get allowance to buy game guides. I will always get so obsessed with it that i wont leave it to get my meals. Even if my mother urge me to eat, i will obey but i wont have the appetite to do so. Sometimes it will even indulge vomitting. That is the reason to my gastric pain problem i had a few years back. Game is really like a super glue sticking my butt to the chair that i cant leave even if the Holy Spirit rebuked me to. The worst thing is, I cant bear to sacrifice my sleep to play games for the whole night and go to school the next day without having sufficient stamina to last. I really want to get out of this, but i crave for game so much that it is really a tough obstacle to overcome!!
Secondly, Manga Can anyone save me from spending too much on these. Every week, i will/must spend at least $10 on it, or else i will feel something missing in me. Manga is just like temporary cure to my misery. Whenever i am under the weather, it is something that will brighten up my day for sure. I dont read mangas as long as i play games, but it drains my allowance so much that i dont have enough to spend at times. My parents and friends have persuaded me to stop, even the Holy Spirit does, but i guess it is not working. After i completed a series of mangas, i am sure that i will be tempted do start another whole new series. No, even if i didnt complete a series, i will start a new series. That makes a lot of holes to be filled in and this will even drain my money even more.
Thirdly, Anime Really something terrible. Mangas drain money and guess what this drains??? Time, it drains a lot of my valuable time. I will keep downloading it and downloading it and spend a lot of time watching it. I will even go to an extend of sacrificing time to do important things in order to do this. It is everlasting, another tough stronghold to get rid of but not as tough as mangas and games since the time to download an anime is VERY LONG when for both mangas and games, you can read and play it respectively at any time.
Forth, American Idol Nightmare!! Really a nightmare, once i get into it, i will spend a lot of time downloading their performances and spend money to buy their cds. I will listen to it when i go to school, at home, in the computer lab, during lessons. Kelly, Clay, Jasmine and Anthony. Love them but they are really a stronghold. The good part about this stronghold is that it lasts only seven months. From January to early August. After it, i will mull over it too much and it is all again a peaceful time until the third wednesday of January again. I was anticipating a string of events to come this season as i was typing this. Pathetic!! I predict that the singer i idolise will come fifth this season as this is the fifth season. It really match!! See, Kelly CLarkson, 1st on 1st season. Clay, 2nd on 2nd season. Jasmine, 3rd on 3rd season. Anthony, 4th on 4th season. Non American Idol fanatic, you will probably find this prediction naive. LOL
Above are the strongholds in my life. Not all of them, just some of the more serious one. Hope someone call help me get out of this pit before i dropped to the rockbottom. Games (Star Ocean, Final Fantasy, Grandia and Wild Arms especially), Mangas (Chuang Yi version), Anime (Every kind, even those feminine ones), American Idol. People, believe that you will see all the strongholds displayed on my face especially when my American Idol is back again!!!
Farewell!!
