Been awhile!

Wow, been really busy with work plus watching over Nathan. Nathan has been really amazing. He is now laughing and its so freakin cute <3. So what have I been upto? A friend of mine asked me and my wife to cover their prenup shoot and so yeah we've been busy learning how to take wedding shots, angles, lighting, and stuff. Also, Ive been really busy editing images for it, I even created our photography logo but its not really for commercial. We just wanna have one for ourselves.

Here is a sample of our shots:

Been keeping 1 image a day of Nathan as a project. Been doing really good with that. I am now HR53 in MH4U and might play later.

Work is kinda rough right now cause my wife got demoted but all is well. Me and Hanibelle will be going to Cebu for our own temple trip. Really looking forward to that.

Whelp, I'm getting really sleepy so I'll leave it all to that.

When I have the time, I will be posting tutorials on things that I know. Such as creating logo, wallpapers, slideshow videos, and much more.

P.S. The world is not flat. LOL 

Nathan's nail cutting session

It has grown really long and sometimes when he grips he scratches us. So we took care of it. He really enjoyed it, I think.

See how behave he is.

Now its time for naptime. Babies tend to sleep for more than 16 hours a day but if you think its a continues 16 hours you are wrong. My baby sleeps every 2 hours and wakes up every 2 hours LOL. Except during evenings, he sleeps for 5 hours then wakes up for 2 hours then sleeps again.

He cried after playing his teddy bear. He claims the bear hit him first.

Sleep time for Nathan. Good job mama :)

cheers,

Crying Baby VS Boss Hunt

So I was playing online with a couple of guys and we had just reached the boss. Lol, baby started crying. What to do? For anyone who isn't familiar what a boss is and why is it a dilemma. A boss is like the toughest monster/guy in a map. Sometimes there are 2 or many of them depending on what mission you took. So basically if you kill a BOSS equals BETTER LOOT. So I was in the middle of killing one and then the baby started crying.

This image was taken yesterday while watching over him. No actual image of me boss hunting. 

Yep, had to leave it and hopefully they can manage. During your gaming career you will find fellow dads as well who enjoys gaming and they do understand if you leave for a little bit but promise to come back. Gamer dads has this code where children's comes first. For starters, find members/buddies who doesn't mind you leaving for a minute to calm your baby.

In any worst scenario, had your wife watch for abit 'till you finish that boss. My wife has always supported me in my gaming since I make her happy :) so be sure to keep her happy so you can ask for her help during crucial moments.

Evening is Baby and MAMA time

My wife works in the morning so during night time we switch roles. She takes care of Nathan while I work 'till tomorrow morning. I do get to spend more time with him and it comes with alot of perks. For example, for 3 months- I've been teaching Nathan how to say "MAMA" and yesterday he finally said it! That was a big surprise for my wife.

Sometimes it could be bad for her. I've been teaching Nathan how to grip firmly and now this is the result. LOL

Atleast my wife thought it was funny. Hahahahah

When is the best time to play your GAMES???!

Before I start, I just wanna point out that I have a job. I am a "Virtual Assistant" for a Mortgage Company in Pennsylvania. The girls at Lake Erie Mortgage are the best. I work at 6PM 'till 2AM in the morning. I do the typical work as an assistant but I do it virtually, like some of my tasks involves Social Media Marketing, Video Editing, Image Promotions, Flyers, SEO, and email-support.

So I sleep at around 2:30AM'sh in the morning and wake up at around 7AM. I finish work at 2AM but I play for a little bit, when it hits 2:30AM its time for sleep. When I don't get enough sleep I get a huge migraine and I'll be out for the whole day. This is also the time I get to snuggle with my wife for a little bit before my baby wakes up. *Important- Always make wife HAPPY. From experience, HAPPY WIFE equals LESS NAGGING. Me and my wife have been married for 2 years now and I haven't missed a single day without saying "I Love You." My wife is not a gamer, she played Clash of Clans and she thinks she's a gamer now- but trust me she isn't.

So if you are complaining about my wife is not supportive to my gaming or blablabla. You have to follow this important rule. *ALWAYS MAKE WIFE HAPPY. I also set some expectations with her. I ask - "Bha, if I finish the laundy- can I play my games?" She normally says "What about this? and that?" What's another 30minutes of chore? After that 30minutes or hour. Have her agree, Can I play now? *Done- You just made her happy. It's a win win situation. You get to improve your relationship with your wife plus you get to play your games after.

Nathan Watching me have breakfast.

What if I have kids? I can't say much about older kids but I do have a baby. My baby wakes up at 6:30AM and for some reason my baby doesn't cry or something. He just lay there pondering about the world and what not. I guess I'm just lucky with my baby. At 7:10AM that's when I take him out of his crib and start playing with him. Let him crawl for abit. At around 9AM, he falls asleep.

Playtime with Nathan.

There are those rare moments when he's fine and you can play.

Is this the time to game? Whoops not yet. I still have to do laundry. Invest in buying your own Automatic Washing Machine. You just put it in the washer, then poof finish.

Baby Finally Asleep - Quest Completed.

Is this finally the right time to play? Lets see- Wife is happy, baby is sleeping, and chores are done. Yep- now's the right time.

There are also days where I don't get to play. It's not a loss.

When we play games, we get an upgrade on our gears, levels, and new items. But that isn't life. This is life. You are a father before you are a gamer. Once you accept this- you will have a happier and healthier gaming life.

No more hardcore MMORPG for me!

I just officially quit from all of my MMORPG games. I just recently bought a Legendary Founder Package for a game called Albion Online. Its a really fun game and its pretty close to runescape. Graphics is abit boxy and I think thats what I like most about this game. If you wish to try out feel free to click on the link. But I think Open Beta will start in 2016.

I just quit this game cause its too time consuming. Especially when you are with your friends doing raids that lasts 3hours or so. Crafting, Gathering, PVP.

So I was abit sad and kinda missed playing games. I told my wife, Im gonna die from boredom lol. So she bought me a new Nintentdo 3DS XL for Christmas. Its my first time playing on a Nintendo 3DS, always been a PSP/ PS Vita guy.

I also have this game called Shin Megami Tensei but haven't got the chance to play it yet. Been playing Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and watching over our baby.

For Christmas my wife also got me a Gundam. Lol its been ages since I built one. It was really fun. When I was a child I always got the cheap ones. My wife got me a Raiser 00 Gundam RG Kit which gave me a really hard time.

I got a camera for my wife but been using it more lol. She's been taking mostly pictures of our baby. 

Gaming is not a crime! There's just a time and place for it. Gaming is not just on the top priority anymore. Making sure the baby is happy first, wife is happy, work is done, chores are done, these comes first before gaming. You need to find games that you can easily leave or pause.

Gaming doesn't end with getting married or having a child. We are in a different generation now. Gaming has been in our blood. When we get bored, we play games!

No more competitive games for me LOL

Merry Christmas from Insong Family

Well today is Christmas, we had a small get together at my parents place. We played some games and Nathan had so much fun. It was Nathan's first Christmas and each of my siblings had to give presents so that was fun for me and my wife aswell. Nathan's cousin- Ace is 2 years old. He was also enjoying the party.

Here is a video I created using after effects.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
