A glimpse into my professional life, when I'm not nerding out.
It's been a week, and a heck of a few months. I feel I've hit a Checkpoint though, finally, akin to Crash Bandicoot! 😆

So many events coming up and work-related travel taht I've been finding it difficult to figure out how to go about an already belated #PKC16 celebration.

At least the studio is looking good!

If there's one way I was going to make a comeback after an extended hiatus, it was gonna be this way.

Happy Black Bolt & White Flare release and massive thanks to @MightyApe!
Much to look forward to, inc. giveaways, and I might have #PKC16 surprises too! 😉

Fun(?) fact: I was closing in on finishing my #PKC16 poster and then Adobe crashed, and I have to start again.
That's my update. 🤦🏽♂️🙃

A big congratulations to my sister, Anya, who graduated this week! 🎉
Many of you who have followed @PokeCollection since the beginning will remember her fondly.
Anya was 8 when I first started the channel, can you believe it? 🤯
Couldn't be more proud of you, Anya! 😊

Not me unfollowing a known TCG accessories supplier for featuring a [redacted] and, by extension, a reminder of another person who's [redacted].
Throwing it back to the time that duo wreacked havoc in the local gaming scene and then escaped to Australia because they were effectively outed.

Moments like now when I question, after seeing something unwelcome come across my feed, if I'm affected by it. Then I realise, though it brings back a twinge of trauma for a mo, I'm actually just fine and I just LOL because life is good and I'm content. Some people hate that. 🤣

WE BOUGHT OUR FIRST HOME(COLLECTION)! 🎉
Just got the keys! 🏡 After countless open homes, juggling parenthood with new career milestones, and a bloody ton of stress, our efforts finally paid off, and the timing couldn't be more perfect, having settled today on Eid-al-Fitr. ☺️🙏

I'm at that point where I travel for work frequently, but no doubt the novelty will wear off eventually, but it's great to be doing fun mahi. Only downside is that it'll be the first time I'm away from KiddoCollection since his birth. It'll be weird being away from my lil fam. 🥺
