The blackout continues, and honestly, I woke up today hoping that by some miracle the power would finally be back. Unfortunately, that hope was quickly cut short. I stayed for hours without seeing any sign of electricity, and without power, I couldn't properly access the internet either. At that point, there wasn't much I could do, so I spent most of the day sleeping, watching cartoons, and then sleeping again whenever I got tired of watching.
Before I knew it, it was already 4 PM. 😭 Then I got a call from a friend asking if we should go play some football just to pass the time and hopefully return home to find the power back. I agreed, but apparently the rain had other plans for us. ☹️ It started with a light drizzle, so we decided to wait for about five minutes, thinking it would stop. Two minutes into our wait, the rain suddenly became extremely heavy.😂
The blackout had already caused a shortage of water, so when the rain started pouring, everyone immediately came outside with buckets and containers to collect rainwater. For almost an entire hour, the rain kept falling heavily. By the time it was around 5 PM, we were tired of waiting, so we decided to play football anyway. We started playing under the drizzle, and surprisingly, I enjoyed it a lot. ⚽😂 Sometimes you just have to make the best out of a bad situation.
After we finished, I returned home briefly before heading over to another friend's place to charge my router battery, just like I did yesterday. I really needed that internet connection because I didn't want another day to pass without sharing my post. Once I finally got back online, I jumped straight into Shadow Fight. I entered the game without even knowing who my next opponent would be. Then I discovered that I was about to face Deng Rao, the commander of the opposing side. His first words were basically, "What are you doing here? How did you manage to beat my best soldiers?"
At that moment, I already knew things were about to get serious. 😭
Usually, when you reach the final stage of a mission, the last opponent is the boss, so I immediately started thinking that Deng Rao might be the final challenge of this mission. If that's the case, the next mission could mean facing an entirely new team, probably with an even higher difficulty. And honestly, even though I was still playing on Easy mode, I was already scared of Deng Rao. 😂
Round 1 was absolutely brutal. I could barely land a hit on him. He kept attacking aggressively, and almost everything I tried seemed useless. Before I could properly figure out what was happening, he had already taken the first round.
After losing that round, I decided to change my strategy. My plan was simple: whenever I got an opening, I would keep attacking aggressively and use my special moves so he wouldn't have enough time to relax, recover, or counter me. Thankfully, the strategy started working. I managed to land some good attacks and special moves, and I eventually won Round 2, bringing the fight to a 1-1 tie.
Now came Round 3. I expected this to be the final round because I thought whoever won two rounds would automatically win the entire fight. I knew that if I lost, I'd probably have to start the battle against Deng Rao all over again, and there was absolutely no guarantee that I would beat him the second time. So I buckled up and went all in. 😤 I fought hard, won Round 3, and was already celebrating because I thought the battle was finally over.
Then suddenly... ROUND 4 appeared on my screen. 😭😭 I was literally wondering, "What is Round 4 doing here again?!" I genuinely thought winning two rounds would be enough, but apparently Shadow Fight had different plans for me. I had no choice but to continue fighting if I wanted to make sure the victory was secured.
Thankfully, I didn't let the extra round scare me. I went back in and managed to beat Deng Rao again in Round 4, finally securing the victory. 🥳
After all that, I came out of the battle feeling much more confident about whatever the game decides to throw at me next. Deng Rao definitely gave me a serious fight, but defeating him has made me feel like I'm becoming more prepared for the harder challenges ahead.
Now I'm just hoping the electricity finally comes back tonight so I can get some proper gaming time and maybe play a few online games. 😭🙏Thanks for visiting, and goodnight everyone ❤️.
