Does blogging make any more sense?

Image
  I see only 2 or 3 views on each of my posts. I hope you don't think my last post was fake, because it isn't.  Now I read about how important blogging is  to oneself and I think I should use my blog as winging my emotions somehow.  I'm uploading this to let you know I'm ok, I'll go on gaming, photographing, boggling and writing to honour my deceased husband. I won't stress myself over everything that me and my husband would, could achieve, I'm just not giving up. if you would like to support me, send me any views, likes, comments, subscribe and even donate paypal.me/luisaheesen. And now off to cooking some pasta for dinner. Then I'll watch tv I guess.

no-games day; because you don't play games against God's will

Today I wasn't able to post any gaming video.  Today early in the morning my husband died.  I told my husband many times to take things slowly; he couldn't. Wouldn't. He was a perfectionist. He worked overtime because he was afraid of losing his job; he did his job correctly and even worked more, because he wanted to impress his boss, gain respect and hoped for an easier job; he tried to understand each and every situation, each and every human he encountered, each and every word spoken... It came from dealing with unsupportive people, being misunderstood and not seing the meaning of life. "All this stuff makes no sence anymore" (Es macht kein Sinn mehr). he couldn't say no. But he said no, when it came to doctors. He didn't go check with a doctor, quit alcohol and receive a pension or jobless money because he was afraid he had to deal with authorities.  He also saw himself as a misunderstood rebell; the pillar his mother, the for both me and his mother, t

A different game: Dice Dreams + my exhibition digital and print

Image
 I have a love-hate relationship with this game. I don't like it because it's too similar to Coin Master, which has a bad reputation for being a game +40s play. I like it because it's different than crushing candies... my photo " The Evergreen Tree " in print exhibition ( 22-24th October ). Until then, enjoy the Virtual Exhibition .    It feels good to have my photo exhibited in the country I live.

Today's game

I don't understand why YouTube must be splitted into studio, music, etc. I mean I tried once to upload a vide on YouTube directly from my tablet; never again.  I had to access YouTube studio on my internet browser to upload the video, then recheck that video on YouTube. I mean why do I need so many websites at the same time?  Plus, on Facebook app I can't access my videos. Anyway, here's today's video.

Today's Bingo Blitz and my first print exhibition postponed

Image
 I see more clicks when I post about photography or hair rather than my usual gaming videos . It makes me happy to know that. I wouldn't like to be known as a gamer, let alone check the newest trendy games and gadgets out there. My first print -exhibition is  postponed  due to covid situation. My gaming videos are an excuse to blog every day, to learn film editing and to blog about other things. I also heard that writing every day helps training the mind for writing books; so far I barely come with something to add to my books but so far photography, blogging, gaming and video editing take a lot of me.

Today's game, COVID_19 is worse than you ever thought and some lockdown tips for calming period cramps

Image
 No, I am not a doctor a holistic guru. But I simply know that you should take it easy with meds for few days ( periods ). The Dose makes the poison ( Paracelsus )  Now if you stay at home because of lockdown, try to stop taking meds and sleep more. Relax. Drink your favorite tea. Watch that movie you always wanted to. Travel to those places you wouldn't even have money to travel too, via google streets (today I "traveled" to one of the hottest places on Earth: The Furnace Creek); while breathing a 20C air and not dealing with papers, money, savings, time to get to destination and back. I traveled to Paris and Nigeria . To anyone whom I told why I stay home: Devesh Bhatt 1 week ago I don't even know how I got it, Spread through my entire family like a wildfire... Luckily everyone is safe & healthy, Trust me it's not a joke I can literally feel what people go through before they die from corona.... Stay home stay safe if you care for loved ones...

No bingos, I do worry

Ungiftables // Blogging from A to Z

Ungiftables are in-game items you can't request or send your friends. They must be earned by playing the game but mostly of course you have to buy it . It brings you nothing, except you 100% complete a certain level. Of course you can do this on all the game levels and all the games you want but it takes money. A lot of money. I don't care if I ever finish a game on facebook. I play games to relax, because photography and retouching becomes stressful after a while. Reading books too, even listening to audiobooks become bothersome after a while; not to mention book reviewing and beta reading would be so stressful I don't even know if I could do it. All the Boosters in Candy Crush series are ungiftable. You have to buy them with gold bars. You either win gold bars in specific contests (that are only available on mobile) or you buy the gold bars with real money. Boosters are not synced on desktop and mobile. Can't speak about the sync between mobile devices though. If ther

I was on 🔥 // Candy Crush Jelly Saga // Blogging from A to Z

   It's rare for me to play a pay-to-win game for more than 10 min. (not counting loosing, lives refill and getting bored). Today was one of the good days, when King.com or Candy Crush Jelly Saga was generous enough to let the candies come crushing.

Game: June's Journey // Blogging from A to Z Challenge

Image
   My random gaming challenge goes on. It's been 5 days sinc I played June's Journey last time. I progressed like 1 level sicne then. It's because I play other games in the meantime, all random and because I don't record everything I play. It's just a gaming challenge to blog about something every day and to get into basic film editing for now. Of course it would be nice if I reach out to you guys out there, but I want my blog to be my blog , not some another fancy influencer-y commercial online newspaper. I also don't have any other photography stuff to share as I am working on new projects and I am waiting for the mini-challenge on discord to end, so I can upload my new photo and share it. Also, working on what I hope it will be fine art, takes days. I'm a beginner and most of the tutorials out there are meh. It takes time, nerves and a lot of trial and error to create the image I want.

Last game blog post of the week / Blogging from A to Z

The rest of cca. 45 min. of the recorded game would be like showing how boring pay-to-win games can be; so I removed that part. It's a wonder I managed to finish a level today . Also Other Candy Crush Games didn't load; browser or internet problems or both - I don't know.

Upload filter, product compatibility and my content // Blogging from A to Z

Image
 Today marks one year of Upload Filter . It also marks one month of my gaming challenge. Coincidence? Today GuruShots has streamed a photography exhibition in Melbourne, Australia . My photo was digitally exhibited . My Exhibition Shot challenge Today I also discovered that one of the games I used to play on Facebook, Jelly Splash, is only available on iOS . I don't keep up with each and every content and I don't want to. Once in a while I read about this or that company reducing itself to zero , and that my friends, happened before the COVID19. The pandemic is used as a pathetic excuse to live the day after tomorrow like we lived the day before yesterday; no change. No evolution. Nothing different. Where will this compatibility war lead to? Does the next game, software, website, product even make sence? I already feel like I have to buy iOS to use for example Jelly Splash, I have to use a computer to edit my photos in a specific way, but my android tablet to edit the other wa

Blogging from A to Z / Candy Crush Soda Saga level 1207

  Tomorrow marks a month since I started my gaming challenge . It's a wonder I finished a level almost every day. I mean I played every day, with some exceptions of either having a complete network failure or playing other games that day, butI never thought it's possible to win a level on no matter which of the games you own. Keep in mind that what I screen recorded until now are pay-to-win games . It means , game companies either give you way to less bonuses to play a game with, which you have to wait and just log in every day for few days to collect bonuses for a round to play, or you pay an obscene amount of money for some extra bundles. Now I never thought I could blog about a single subject, every day, for a year. The truth is, I can't and I don't want to. My blogging challenge is an excuse to promote my photography, share some other kind of stuff completely different froom gaming and making this experience of blogging regularily. It's not difficult to blog re

Today's game + Reasons why you look like going bald while you definitely don't

 If I loose hair every time a family member or a hairdresser told me I was going bald since I had my first haircut to today, I'd pretty much have all my hairs, follicles and scalp shedding down to my skull. My hair measures 7-9 cm ponytail circumference and it's FIA's type 1c/f/m/ii. What can you do with this info.? 1. Volume vs. Compressible hair :  2. " A picture is worth a thousand words ": now don't come up with pictures when you were 9, because from 9 to 30 you already had more than one changes in your body, anything from periods to medication or diet, these factors and a lot other more factors lead to change in follicle shape and distribution on your scalp and body. Either don't compare a long with a short haircut. Of course your hair looks big when cut short and thin, less or compressed in long hair. Again, stop looking at pictures where haircuts are shown. Those photos were shot after the hair was styled. Know something about photography. There is

Just to Promote my Bingo Blitz ID // Blogging from a to z challenge

 I didn't plan any particular video for today. It just happened I thought I almost forgot today's video , so I recorded this with no particular reason in mind. It turned out I could use it to remind you my Blingo Blitz ID (196854914) , so you can add me; let's play together.

Abandonware // Blogging From A to Z // Gaming

 I saw a video on facebook that reminded me instantly of the Game Re-Volt by Acclaim (1999). Apparently this game was sold to other gaming companies, who  made othere trash-y spin-offs out of it and then eventually the original Re-Volt became an abandonware ; which means you can download it online without paying for it if you don't want to, nor have to crack it or download it illegaly. I love abandoneware as much as I love open source. The reason why I stick to abandonware is that they simply work better, error free and it stays the same as I know it since forever. It was those good days when the clue was in the name: user frendly interface. Not to mention how fast these software can be! Loading in few seconds, graphics was minimal but understandable, error notifications were straight to the point. If you neede to fix something, it was quickly explained in one sentence what you need to do or install to use your software. It wasn't some "Error" "plastered"

gaming video 2-8x faster or how games used to load on mobile and feature phones

  Link I'm so tired of colors, animations, loading graphics and exhausting explanations on how to play a game. I mean seriously, I could check the game help if I feel like it. The help page should be a single page though, not a lotr movie. I have another link I hope I don't forget to show my family and everyone who doesn't know anything about hair and scalp. I'm so tired of people who don't know 1. FIA's hair typing system 2. The difference between a wig, hair and extensions  3. Anything about scalp and its issues. If you have damn 9 cm ponytail circumference but a slight widow's peak, how on earth do you even go bald? And no, heavy hair doesn't drag follicles out of your brain, so yeah, if your strands fall doesn't mean you have tellogen effluvium .

Today's Bingo Slots game + exhausted

 I'm exhausted. The weather was either too cold, windy, the sun was shining to bright or all of above, in loop, every hour. It doesn't matter if I drink coffee or black tea, I'm still sleepy. It also doesn't matter if I drink any other kind of tea, because I still can't find something to distract me from lethargy. I am not even interested in gaming because: 1) I don't have any bingos. Serves me right 😆 2) Other games still have Easter Bonuses, which I am not in the mood to consume because I am tired. 3) and least but not last, I like closing my eyes, hearing an audiobook . Now this is relaxing. I listened to further chapters and I relaxed my nerves for a while; then I remembered to check something on Bingo Party ; and then I though I might at least collect some Bingos. I did collect 2 Bingos and some XP , but then I got tired of gaming. Audiobooks are more interesting for me right now. I did manage to upload today's gaming video , but it's just an excus

Finishing a Hard Level (Candy Crush Jelly Saga) / Blogging from A to Z

More candies and 4 photos in a row exhibited in 2 different exhibitions

Image
I was on fire! 🔥4 levels in a day. It doesn't happen that often on Facebook games.  Another fire:  4 photos in a row exhibited in 2 different exhibitions . Now that I finished writing my today's blog entry I realised I didn't watch the news. Oh well, who needs another the world's going to end  stuff when you have all of your 4 photos exhibited and you can't wait for the live stream to show your printed photo in exhibition . 

The usual gaming video + my first photo printed in exhibition

Image
  I don't like slot games. It's boring to see few images rotatingn over and over again for the sake of a XP meter that becomes increasingly difficult to fill the more you play. I use slot games merely for gaining XP that will allow me to unlock other levels on the main game I play (in this case Bingo Blitz ). As you know me by now, I use this gaming theme as an oportunity to share some other great stuff. For example, my first photo that is to be printed in exhibition . I'll keep you posted.

Trying to upload a game on youtube instead on facebook // Blogging from A to Z

Image
 It worked! The peoblem with youtube is that I can only upload up to 15 min. per video; on facebook I can upload a lot more. Nevermind though, I don't have to only blog about successful gaming. Today I also wrote a few words on one of our WIP .

No internet access | Blogging from A to Z

Image
   I don't know how some websites/webpages can work perfectly and some not; No internet access shown on the Internet icon but I can still use internet; How the green light on my Internet router still remains green but all of above happens simultaneously or not. Results: e-mails land probably in spam or at all on destination; videos cannot be uploaded; webpages must be refreshed; errors when playing a video or an audio track; live stream remains but a dream; I think my internet connection plays havoc on my pc, so it suddenly restarts, especially when I'm playing facebook games; my blog draft cannot be saved sometimes, so I either re-write my blog entry or wait until the Internet is working somewhat(!) better; I check twice to make sure a payment was done correctly or an e-mail was received; I better restart my pc before I do something important, and if that doesn't help, I redo the point above; play games on tablet, but I hate how GuruShots' meter is not accurate on and

Game suddenly stuck | Blogging from A to Z

Here 's the proof. I don't even know why it happened: game was suddenly stuck. I had to close the browser. I also have something nice to share with you. If you understand german you can hear a nice audiobook: here . I don't know what it is about, but I loved the book cover instantl when I saw it yesterday in a commercial. I think I will take some time to listen to it someday. I have so much to do: - gaming is top priority right now; - promoting my photography is my second priority, sometimes even photographying; - I'm still trying to check why my printer doesn't work; - householding and work; - I can't even find time and strength to write anymore; - I read (e)books every day so hearing an audiobook is too stressful for me at this point; - I have a lot of other books to read, organised by theme and author(s).so I'll check audiobooks later.

Today's videos!

Image
 I have 2 videos to share with you today. The one is - of course - our usual gaming video.   The second one is... something different. I remember watching this video back when I still lived in Bucharest, Romania. I remember I asked my mother where to buy those masks? Then after the news about this new coronavirus was over, we all got a blackout: like it never happened. Few weeks later I found this video and I got a Déjà vu . Now I could come up with conspiracy theories: did humanity received a message from the future? Or I could just stay "in real life" and say that the coronavirus in 2003 is not the same as the new coronavirus . I am (and everyone of course too) talking about the mutations that happened from 2003 to 2019. I think it's the same as with climate change: we know that at least since the 1970's climate change exists. It should actually be clear to us, that after 2 World Wars(!) our planet is practically destroyed. Destrying the climate ballance will make p

Today's game and something bad about Sony

 It's a wonder how I don't forget my a-to-zchallenge because today I felt so weak and sick. It's normal , don't worry. Here's the video.  And the good-to-know stuff about Sony ... 

Blogging from A to Z // New game

 It's a new game I'm blogging about. I play this game since a few months. To be honest, it's the same as other bingo games I play. I play it merely for rewards  on a reward app, so basically for Amazon cards.

Der Gänseblumentopf-Minion // Daisies in a usb-memory stick cap.

Image
people's favorite on Viewbug . Buy it here   Yesterday I couldn't upload any gaming video because my computer restarted like 3 times and it didn't save the recording. I got sick of gaming anyway so I decided to create something different. I sent this photo to my mother via facebook messenger and she liked it; she also asked me where (?) I shot this. I told her it was made on my balcony railing. Unfortunately she was already offline; I replied too late, so I am still waiting for her reply (eventually). I am writing this so I don't have to explain to everyone how I created this image. This image is called Der Gänseblummentopf-Minion because I placed daisies in a usb-stick like I'd place any kind of flowers in a flowerpot. Think flower arangements meets close-up . If you have a fancy USB-Memory stick you can come up with crazy ideas. I can't remember how I came up with my idea but it wasn't anything to do with checking on floral arangements or flowers or macro

Blogging from A to Z | gaming and other reasons

Image
 I keep this main theme of gaming as a purpuse to write every day (except on Sunday). Meanwhile I discovered that I have a lot to post about, even though I'm in lockdown; or especially because I'm in lockdown. I blogged about my future exhibitions, proved that my photos were digitally exhibited, announced some upcoming exhibitions, etc.   Yesterday, all of my 4 photos were digitally exhibited in one single challenge.    I finally made it to Champion !!!   Now here's today's gaming video.

I have no proof

  My computer restarted 3 times while playing Bingo Blitz. Sometimes my pc works smoothly and sometimes not. Also my internet connection was failing every half an hour.
