Went to my first tournament with the new phone and the fact I didn't have to carry/charge my power bank at all was great. bsky.app/profile/jame...
Got a brand new phone after 5-6 years and the fact I no longer need an Apple Lightning cable just for my phone anymore and my battery lasts the whole day is life changing.

Finished 10th Place at the 2025 Pokémon VGC World Championship in Anaheim this weekend. Got to do what I love the most in this game which was facing many strong opponents and having intense high-level sets all weekend 🥰

Was planning on getting a new iPhone this year since mine is several years old, almost out of storage and has some performance issues recently. Hoping Apple makes the new phone coming out this year worth upgrading to or that tariff price hike won't be worth it (ideally no tariff increase) 🥶

I am very glad I decided not to wait and invested in a Macbook Pro last year with all the tariff nonsense

Reached 50k subscribers on YouTube today. Never thought the channel I made for fun back in 2013 would go so far but here we are. Always grateful for anyone who has supported the journey here and looking forward to making great stuff to push for 100k ^_^

This might have been the best season to start taking a break from competing. Been glad I've been saving money with how the World Economy and the markets have been doing...

Placed 5th place at Vancouver Regionals last weekend and most likely qualified for the Pokémon 2025 World Championship. Played well throughout the whole tour and finally made it into the Top Cut stage at an event this season. Not bad for a break season.

EUIC was a great time. Ate good food, played some great games of Pokemon and had wonderful interactions with viewers and friends. Only thing that could have been better was the tournament start/placement but a very fun and enjoyable event 😁

Crazy how two years in a row, the first tournament of the year I go to, I eat something that causes inflammation on my right foot that makes it miserable to walk. This happened to me in Charlotte last year and of course it happens right before the biggest tournament of the year besides Worlds...
