Hello Family and Friends!!!
My friends and I made it through another workweek, and we normally get together and take advantage of our days off to unwind and get away from the stress and exhaustion of the workplace. We're really grateful that we share the same rest days because it gives us a chance to recharge.
Usually, every time we get together, we always get a cup of coffee at a coffee shop, but this week, we tried something new.
WE WENT TO ARCADE!!!
We first need to get a power card so we can play at the arcade. The card is 400 PHP in value with 250 e-tickets and an additional 200 bonus load on it.
First, we tried this game called "Sail Fish Wheel Arcade Game", I think this is worth 18 PHP per swipe. For the mechanics, the player will pull the handle to spin the big wheel and stop at the right time to win tickets. Everyone tried it, that's why we received a lot of tickets. Some of us got 30 tickets, but I think the best that we got is 40 tickets haha.
We then played a game called "Whack N Win Arcade Game" together. We really enjoyed this game so much that we didn't have much time to take pictures of it haha. So for the mechanics: players must whack their way into the win zone by using their skill to tap the sensor pad and attempt to win the Bonus. The patented sensor pad allows the players to give it a Whack and get the moving LEDs to land in the Bonus Win Zone. The bonus win zone is "250 tickets", so if after you whack and the light stops at the Bonus Win zone, you won 250 tickets! This game really tests our patience and anger issues LOL.
As someone who really likes guitar and music, I also gave this Guitar Hero a try. I went with a tune from Linkin Park, a band I love. This game was a blast for me. Playing this song made me feel as though I was actually at a concert.
We then tried out a variety of games. We also won a ton of tickets. Since we haven't played this game in a while, we really are very happy. We had so much fun! It felt like we were kids again.
We eventually went to a videoke room that charged, I believe, 20 PHP for each song after trying several different games. We had fun singing here, especially my friend who performed the Taylor version of All Too Well (10 minutes version), YES THE 10-MINUTES VERSION LOL.
After a few songs, we go out to the arcade zone happy and stress-free.
I'm really happy that we have this kind of get-together activity sometimes, it reminds us that the world was once a happy place, not until we became an adult and life slaps us in the face.
That's why we need to remind ourselves sometimes that the world we are living in right now, is the same place that makes us happy. We just need to step back sometimes and find it. They are still here, waiting for you to make you happy, again. 😊
