in memoriam with that person from my entire family...🥀

Well, it's time to share some of my own stories particularly about my good old days with one of the members from my entire family (preferably from my mom's side) that was once existed since I was born, and then he recently passed away due to the fact he suddenly got a fatal disease. Without further ado, let me share my own stories particularly about my good old days with him in general, ranging from those days when I was a kid, until all the way to final moments with him before he passed away...

A. My childhood times with him...

Back when I was a kid, I was hanging around with him for roughly many times, including my grandma that was also once existed back in those days. Those were the sweet times overall, with an exception about how come if I ever broke his old Sony Ericcsson feature phone with monochrome screens that he newly purchased it in ~2006 by slamming it to the floor of my childhood house, especially when there was an incoming SMS with it's own ringtone. Sure, I was once got annoyed by the ringtone itself, but thankfully, he didn't feel really that mad on me when I particularly did that though.

Although I was able to meet him many times in my childhood house, he was once had some random jobs somewhere in Malaysia for few years right after roughly two years after that time where I broke his aforementioned phone, until he decided to return back into Indonesia, specifically in my hometown where I do live. He decided to do so in order to marry his wife in 2011, and then they both took a birth of their first children several years later, followed by how they also took a birth to their second children right after the previous one several years later too.

B. In relation of my YouTube channel of fans...

When it comes to the relation of my YouTube channel of fans, there's not much else that I could say to him apart from the fact he had fairly good treatment with all of the electric fans that they own around my entire family since past several years, specifically from mine and those that was once used to be in my childhood house (back when my grandma used to exist). He was also a relatively good helper when it comes to installing certain of my fans, including some of my mini ceiling fans that I ever installed in the back porch of my old house (and so for that one [not so] mini ceiling fan that he also installed it in my current compact house where I'm currently settling in nowadays since almost a year ago). Overall, he was a reasonably crucial person when it comes to this in general, and so for how he somehow able to fix some broken fans with his own hands quite well too.

C. His local jobs...

Believe or not, he also had another job during he decided to settle in my hometown where I do live since I was born, which was making lots of homemade TV antennas out from metal sticks, metal sheets, and PVC pipes... FYI, he used to work in a large house that was once owned by a Chinese couple, although his legitimate wife was passed away firstly in 2014. During those times, he made lots of those TV antennas in order to sell them for relatively cheap price to the legitimate owner of that particular house. Even though he didn't earn that much bucks from those, but it was worth his job in order to satisfy some customers who used to buy those TV antennas that he made in there, and so for how he was able to find some bucks for his own mini family too...  📺📡

After the aforementioned owner of that large house was passed away in the late of 2023, he obviously lost his aforementioned job for a moment, and then he decided to switch his job into stone worker, which unfortunately earned way less amount of bucks compared to his previous job. Because of that, his mental suddenly felt out of control, which led to his disease which just caused from all of his mental stresses that he had in that exact state, unfortunately. 

D. Final moments with him...🥀

Unfortunately, this particular section clearly explains about how come he passed away due to his fatal disease that he had... Before he got hospitalized, he suddenly felt some pain on his heart (and followed by how he felt really hard to breathe most of the time), and he decided to visit the hospital by himself with his own motorcycle. Then, after he entered the emergency department for few days, he immediately got sent into surgery room in order to have some surgery to his heart. After he did the aforementioned surgery, he eventually got sent into the ICU room for additional recovery from the said surgery. However, things weren't look and sound great when it comes to recovering him in general, although he used to look quite normal at first, considered if he had to wear an oxygen respirator right in front of his nose all the time during he took a long rest in that particular room. 🏥

Things were getting much intense once he had unexpected actions during he had those of the aforementioned recoveries of his health in that room, especially about how come if he was able to recklessly REMOVE the aforementioned respirator bunch of times by himself specifically with his hands, resulting in his worse condition of his health overall. This was occurred due to the fact he wanted to go home quicker, especially about how come if he would want to see his wife and all of their beloved little children too after this particular disaster occurring on him... It also made the matters worse, every single time certain visitors from my entire family (including my mom) were attempted to consume certain food and beverages on his mouth in that exact state, he would eventually threw up numerous times, thus it led to even worse condition of himself that totally harmed his health entirely. 💉💊

After almost two weeks of him being hospitalized, my mom and I got a bad news from most of those doctors who works in there. They said if he ran into a fatal state where he had some sort of heart stroke, followed by how his blood just clumped into his brain, which they also concluded if they were totally impossible to revive him back to his former state... Not too long after my mom visited him in THAT particular deadly state (along with my dad, my uncle, my aunt, and some members of my entire family)............ they also said if he eventually passed away................ After he passed away, they brought the corpse of himself into his funeral home using a corpse car from that hospital. Lastly, I, certain members around my family, and many of his neighborhood around that village where he used to live were brought and buried his coffin contained his corpse to the graveyard nearest from their current house where they're currently settling in. 🥀⚰

My deepest condolences to that particular section of my entire family who recently lost their dad, but that also throwbacks me to those times where I suddenly lost my grandma in 2017. She also hospitalized in the same place as him, except she had completely different disease before she lost it's life. Even then, she also even got hospitalized in different hospital in around the late of 2016 before that one occurred few months later... This is also one of my highly traumatic moments in my entire life ever, especially about what if it'll also occur to both of my parents anytime and anywhere soon, considered if my mental is still not ready for basically everything that I must do in the future for now on. 🥀

my fan fellow enthusiast gifted me a ceiling exhaust fan for free!

"Wait, what? You got another free gift from another YouTuber after all of your favorite mini figures from a famous YouTuber with more than 1M subscribers that you did back in 2018?" Even though this was slightly less exciting compared to those mini figures that I acquired back then, this is specifically because in fact one of my famous electric fan enthusiast YouTubers from our country with ~45K subscribers literally gifted one of his fans for real (for this case, a NIB ceiling exhaust fan). Without further ado, let me explain about how he ended up doing so in general, right away.

The ceiling exhaust fan itself... (the brand of it is Kirin)

Basically, he casually asked me in one of the social media's direct message chat (for this case, Instagram's direct message chat). At first glance, he asked about how's the current state of myself in general (especially about the current financial condition of me and both of my parents after those of the dreadful pandemic times), until how he secretly checked one of my YouTube channel's community posts about why my parent's bedroom in my current house lacked any proper ventilation whatsoever. As what I clearly stated on that aforementioned community post about it, here's the statement that I made specifically about it, in case you've wondering:

"when it's hot outside, almost all of the rooms in my current compact house goes hot AF, especially for this room... yes, it has a window in there, but due to the fact the window itself is located between it and the kitchen, yet the window itself also got blocked by the fridge right behind it, i can't even open it anymore with ease, therefore this room lacks any of proper ventilation whatsoever..."

"i feel like i want to install a ceiling exhaust fan inside there, but i don't think if i will do it soon because i obviously don't have enough budget for purchasing and installing it though..."-Me

Yep, that's basically the reason about why that particular room of my current house lacked the said ventilation, therefore it always feel so hot when it's sunny outside. I mean, it's not bad compared to those times before I moved into this exact house, which was in the portion of my dad's main workplace (it was WAY too hot when it's sunny outside every single time, thanks to the asbestos roof that it literally has, even if I installed my old exhaust fan on there too, but it turned out if that didn't help that much). Also, the reason about why I chose the ceiling exhaust fan instead of the regular one, it's due to the location of the room itself has no access to install one of those regular exhaust fans anyway... Well, he took an opportunity to troubleshoot the problem by giving me a NIB ceiling exhaust fan for free. Before he even did so afterwards, I almost refused it because I'd love to purchase one of those from any of the hardware stores or electronic stores in my hometown instead. But, with all of his reasons specifically about how he felt so pity to most of the fan enthusiasts including myself, he actually did it anyway to me by sending it straight into my current compact house where I'm currently settling in nowadays since I moved into here last year.

Further view of the ceiling exhaust fan itself...

After I waited for few days, an expedition car arrived in front of my house, and one of the courier delivered the mail that contained the said ceiling exhaust fan itself. Upon I received it, I opened the mail itself, and there was the thing itself inside it's own box! Again, although this was slightly less exciting compared to those mini figures that I acquired back then, at least this DOES have it's own key function in order to exhausting air out from that room indeed... In order to install it, I decided to call the same electrician who used to install my ceiling fan in my house by making the hole of it on the ceiling, followed by how he connected it using a cable between it and the wall switch, which he also replaced the old single light switch with a double one (one is obviously for light for that room, and the other is for the fan itself). It took approximately an hour of how he installed it, and after he did so, I decided to test it by simply flicking the switch that connects to it. Sure, it makes some difference compared to those times without it, and most importantly, it no longer makes the room itself feel so hot now every single time I turn it on... if it actually does it's job though. And finally, after he installed it, the said fan enthusiast himself transferred some bucks from his bank account to the aforementioned electrician indeed, although he had to transfer them to my bank account first, then I transferred them into him anyway.

After all of those efforts, that simply concluded about how come if he decided to sent that particular ceiling exhaust fan for free to me. I didn't expect if this occurred by all of the sudden, it's because I only meant to share that YouTube community post which simply explained about how come if that bedroom lacked any proper ventilation (including those of my pictures of the room itself), but it turned out if there was a sudden miracle behind it though, particularly from one of fellow fan enthusiasts from our country that I always recognize after all these years, even if I rarely watch any of his contents on his YouTube channel anyway for various reasons, unlike what I used to constantly binge watching them more often back in those good old days, except those were from any of the random people instead (including anybody who lives outside our country)... Well then, there you have it for my overall story particularly about this, and as always, thanks for reading this exact article.

my childhood TECH devices...☎🕹📻📺🧮

As what this particular article's title literally said, I'm gonna share my own childhood memories particularly about random old school tech devices that I ever used back in those good old days since I was born. Those tech devices that I'm talking specifically about were mainly those of the old school feature phones, and certain other old school devices (such as those of the old game consoles, those analog cameras, and so on). So, without further ado, let me explain about each of the random devices that I ever used back then, ranging from the simple ones until to the most advanced one that I ever dealt.

a. Basic feature phones with monochrome screens...

Started off with some of those aforementioned mobile phones. "Pretty sure if you used to have Nokia 3310, right?" Well (jokes aside), close enough, except for the model number. Not only just that Nokia, I also used to have that old Sony Ericsson phone with roughly exact same trait as that Nokia. Nothing particularly special about it since back in those days when I was a kid, apart from the fact I briefly hanging around with them, including how I was able to play simple games briefly on them too.

FYI, back in those days during I owned those old mobile phones, my uncle used to have that Siemens phone, which also had exact same traits as those of the said phones, except for the color of the backlight (which was orange instead of yellow).

b. Basic feature phones with color screens...

my old D-ONE phone (Chinese phone that was just a loose knockoff of Nokia E63)

After I experienced with those of the feature phones with monochrome screens, I decided to use any of these types of feature phones that I ever used, except they were in color. There were plenty of phones that I ever used that were fell on this particular category, so here are my list about what kinds of phones that I ever used, right away:

• Bunch of those basic phones without camera (mostly Nokia ones),
• Nokia 1nnn (couldn't remember the model number, and it had a camera [which you could only take pictures only]),
• Nokia 6630,
• Nokia X2, and
• D-ONE (Chinese phone that was just a loose knockoff of Nokia E63]

my old Nokia X2 (with mixed parts of it's own casing itself)

As for anything around my entire family, they also used to have their own feature phones that were fell on this particular category too. So, those phones were:

• Nokia 7250 (if I guessed the model number of this one right),
• Sony Ericsson K310i (if I guessed that right, and it only had 12 MB of internal storage),
• Sony Ericsson K350i (if I guessed the model number of this one right),
• Sony Ericsson K810i, and
• random Chinese feature phone that had touchscreen and analog TV

Now, how's your experience when it comes to dealing with those phones then? Well, here are the moments of how I experienced with each of them:

1. Every single time when an incoming SMS on that old Nokia 1nnn phone appeared, I sometimes threw it to the floor due to the fact I couldn't even stand with the ringtone itself. That phone survived just okay, even if the battery just popped off from the case sometimes.
2. I stupidly formatted the Nokia 6630's entire system bunch of times, especially when there were lots of saved data (of all kinds) stored in there. This was occurred due to the fact I opened the "Memory card" app, then I selected "Format" for no reason.
3. Some third-party apps that were installed on Nokia 6630 that were existed. I decided to open them, it turned out if they weren't installed yet, despite their existence on the menu screen.
4. Playing games on most of those phones were memorable (which majority of them were Java games, excluding those that were on basic phones without camera, which they always worked just well without any issues). However, there were bunch of games that weren't work properly in certain forms.

c. Old game consoles...🎮

Ah yes, old game consoles, except I only had 5 of them. Two of them were the bootleg consoles, and the rest were the original units. Those were:

• PlayStation 1 and 2,
• Certain cheap brick games and any of those "Pop Station" handheld games,
• Fake PlayStation 1 (Famiclone), and
• GameBoy Advance (the OG, not SP or Micro)

For the games that I ever played on each of those game consoles, here are lists of what kinds of games that I ever recognized the most (except for those that were from cheap brick games or those of the "Pop Station" handheld games):

• RC Helicopter (PlayStation 1),
• That airplane flight simulator that I couldn't remember the game's title of it (PlayStation 1),
• That BMX game that I couldn't remember the game's title of it (PlayStation 1),
• Eye Toy (PlayStation 2),
• Some random PlayStation 2 golf game,
• Mario Golf Advance Tour (GameBoy Advance, if I guessed the title of the game itself right),
• Spiderman (GameBoy Advance),
• The Incredibles (GameBoy Advance), and
• plethora of pirated NES games that I ever played on either that Famiclone (including their multicarts), or those of the pirated GameBoy Advance cartridges, or even that pirated Playstation 1 disc that contains themselves too.

d. Other old school devices...

As for the other old devices besides those that I already listed above, here are random old devices that I used to have back then (which one of them is still in use after all these decades):

• Old Sharp CRT TV that both of my grandparents from my mom's side purchased it back in the ~90s.📺
• Old VCD players and old boomboxes (yes, both of my parents still keep that vintage early 80s Sanyo boombox, and it's still works well after all these decades, except for the tape deck).📼
• Sony Walkman (purchased back in ~2008, couldn't remember the model number of it though, yet I even used to have a cheaper alternative of it before).🎧
• Some of my old analog cameras that I used to have, except I didn't even attempt to use them with their own film rolls. I remembered if my mom used to take some pictures of myself during I was in the kindergarten using one of those cameras.
• Some sort of scientific calculator that shaped like a mini laptop. It even had some games on it, such as Bingo, Tic Tac Toe, and typical snake game, respectively.

Well, there you have it for my childhood tech memories in general. "Wait, how about certain devices that were much more advanced than those, such as phones with touchscreens and computers or laptops?" For those devices, I already explained in several of my articles that I made somewhere in this entire Blogspot, so feel free to check them out if you still don't recognize yet, albeit not all of them that I explained though... If you have your own good memories when it comes to certain old school devices like so, feel free to share your own childhood story related to this article in the comments section if your memory still serves it okay. That's basically it for what I could say to this particular article, and as always, thanks for reading this specific article. 

Dealing with digital TV... around my area (ID) 📺

Are you still watching TV nowadays? If so, it's because I'm not only the one who constantly watch any kinds of TV programs after all these years since my childhood, even if you definitely have a better option to watch anything deeper than just TV like I do these days... However, I'm not talking about any kinds of TV programs from various TV stations that I usually watch since my childhood though. Instead, I'm gonna tell you about how come if our country's whole government finally decided to shut down the analog TV stations, then they decided to switch over into digital TV terrestrials, including around my area where I live. Without further ado, it's time to share my own story about my final days with analog TVs, until all the way to how our country's government finally decided to shut them down forever. 📺

A. Final times with analog TV...📺

Back in those good old days since my childhood, I obviously watched all kinds of TV programs from those TV channels casually using the analog TV from any of my old CRT TVs that I ever owned, even if I ever watched them briefly using those of cheapo Chinese modular feature phones with built-in antenna, which those weren't mine anyway. This was the only way to watch them, because that was the only reliable source to do so for roughly 2 decades since then. Even though it obviously didn't have a good picture, sound, and signal qualities, otherwise it would sometimes ended up in just "snowy" pictures (or even a plain blue screen), it didn't matter for me though to watch them without any kinds of problems, and this particular trait also applied to the analog FM radio with their respective radio stations around my hometown too.📺

Those were the good old times of me watching all kinds of TV programs from various TV stations in general. Until somewhere in 2022, all TV stations around our country literally warned us in order to switch over from that old analog TV to digital TV terrestrials, including me. Even though the analog TV still existed back then, I just decided to buy one of those run-of-the-mill set top boxes from an electronic store, then I hooked it to my old small CRT TV by connecting the AV cable into it.📺

B. Dealing with it using my set top box and my old CRT TV...📺

Even if I already own that set top box, I actually used to have another set top box that used to exist roughly in 2017-2018, except it was provided by one of those famous internet service providers that also existed in my hometown. I ever experienced with it, and the result of it was mildly okay, depending on which TV stations that I watched. Yes, that set top box did have an option to connect it into my old house's Wi-Fi access point yet it had plenty of video streaming apps too, including YouTube. Sure, I would love to login both of my Google accounts on it, due to the fact it was connected to my old CRT TV, it was painfully difficult to read all of those texts, thus I just didn't bother to do it anyway... As for the main feature itself (which was the digital TV that came with it), it did work just okay, and it had it's own common problems where most of the TV stations just stuttered every certain amount of seconds or minutes, or on the worst cases, it led into "no signal" screen, despite it was clearly connected to one of my Wi-Fi access point's Ethernet ports (not coaxial cable). After I had some enjoyment with it, unfortunately I had to stop using it by returning it back to the provider themselves due to severe financial issues that occurred back in the day (along with the Wi-Fi access point that came with it), which means I had to watch all kinds of TV shows back using the old analog TV for next 4 years, and so for how I replaced that good access point with more s***** one later on.📺

Now, back to my run-of-the-mill set top box that I owned there, connected to my old small CRT TV. Yes, it worked just okay, but it also had the same problem where most of the TV stations just stuttered every certain amount of seconds or minutes, or on the worst cases, it led into "no signal" screen too. No matter if I ever tried to fix it by re-scanning the available TV stations that are broadcasting 24/7 around my area, or fixing the coaxial cable connection and the connector that connects into the unit itself, or even tweaking certain options in order to make it less occurring, those common problems are sometimes come back, which caused me to switch between digital TV terrestrials using it or just the classic analog TV. Unfortunately though, even if I also owned the loop-over connector that connects between my set top box and my old CRT TV, the analog TV was finally got shut down in the last year around my area exactly in the meantime I tested it, so that means no more of me watching them using analog TV forever indeed.📺

C. Dealing with it using my smart TV...📺

Box of my current flat screen smart TV that I own...

FYI, I recently purchased my own flat screen smart TV in order to install it in my current compact house, it's because that old small CRT TV would occupy some space and it would also draw more power that might trip my whole house's MCB. Instead of using both of it's own "legs" that came with it, I decided to install it on the wall using the bracket, in order to avoid all kinds of accidents of me using it in general. Yes, it does have roughly similar features just like that set top box, with an exception about how it has much more content compared to that. For example, it obviously have a built-in Wi-Fi adapter, yet it also has bunch of apps that comes with it, including certain online video streaming apps (YouTube, Prime Video, Vidio, WeTV, etc.). Watching all kinds of videos on YouTube on this is pretty much exactly as what I expected for, and I even logged in both of my own Google accounts on it just alright, as long as it still connects to my house's Wi-Fi access point 24/7.📺

Now, how about the main feature itself though? Well, the results when it comes to me watching digital TV from various TV stations are exactly in similar fashion to how I watched them before using my old CRT TV, equipped with that set top box. Yes, it still has it's own common problems where where most of the TV stations just stuttered every certain amount of seconds or minutes, or on the worst cases, it led into "no signal" or "invalid service" messages, even if I tried to fix it by re-scanning the available TV stations that are broadcasting 24/7 around my area. Unfortunately though, there is no specific option in order to make it way less occurring, apart from all of those basic options of the whole smart TV's settings itself. FYI, it also has 5 different sources to watch anything on it though, such as 2 different versions of digital TVs (both DVB-T2 and DVB-C [which the latter one still didn't have any at the moment]), analog TV (which obviously no longer existed anymore), AV, and 2 HDMI ports.📺

D. The common problems...📺

As what I clearly stated there, you probably think if watching any digital TVs will work flawlessly as you expect? Well (specifically around my area), no. It's because I have to deal with those of the common problems that usually occur every single time I watch them. When this particular problems gets worse, I have to fix it's own coaxial cable that connects between the TV and the outdoor antenna itself by fixing it's own connector in order to make it less occurring, which still doesn't even fix it most of the time (unless I will get the indoor antenna booster to rectify it though). As for the common problems on the digital TVs that I was talking about, here are the signs about them:

1. It occasionally producing bit of squeaking or popping sounds, followed by how the picture also occasionally stutters, pauses, or glitches by itself for a rapid moment. This is easily by far the most common problem that always present to encounter it every single time I watch them through all of the TV stations that are available on it (results may vary per each of the TV stations).
2. It also suddenly stops the TV broadcasts by itself from certain TV stations that I watch, then it immediately leads into "no signal" or "invalid service" screen.

Those common problems do occur probably due to these reasons below:

1. The connection between both my TV and the outdoor antenna are might be loose (most commonly occurs on it's own connector that connects directly to the TV, especially when it heats up after certain amount of time),
2. My old outdoor antenna probably doesn't receive any signals from nearest TV station transmitters very well, even if I already mounted it using that long a** pole for really that up high (unless if I already have my better one or improve it using an indoor antenna booster to rectify it for a bit, but I still didn't upgrade it nor acquiring the booster itself yet),
3. Any forms of technical difficulties that might occur on each of the nearest TV station's transmitters (specifically about how they sometimes change their TV channel index numbers and their respective frequencies), but that might not be the case for the nearest TV stations in my hometown (which I guarantee if they will work fairly flawlessly).
4. Any condition of the weather around my area that definitely cause all of those common problems usually occur (for instance: my outdoor antenna wobbles due to the strong wind, there are some lightning outside, etc.).

Well, there you have it for my experience about how I deal with digital TV terrestrials, particularly from anything around my area. If you have your experience from your own specifically about it and the common problems that usually occurs on it, feel free to ask anything particularly about them in the comments section if you're able to. That's it for what I could particularly say about this article, and pay attention when it comes to dealing those problems that usually occurs on them............ otherwise you would end up raging.

New year's eve in your hometown❓ 🎆🎇🎉🎊🎺

This time, I'll tell you about something different, which is sharing about my own story about how I watched any kinds of new year's eve in my own hometown, ranging from basic firework show that were usually held near certain buildings or places by certain small communities, until the way to how my own hometown's whole government celebrated it back in the day per each of the year in those locations that they chose for. I know if there's not much else that I could particularly say about it since the last one that I watched from the very beginning of the dreadful 2020 (oh yeah, f*** that year of pain). Without further ado, it's time for me to share my own short stories about how I watched it back in the day per each of the year, right away. 🎉🎆

Since I was born until few years later, I simply didn't watch it due to the fact I obviously didn't have a clue specifically about what was the actual purpose of how everybody set their own fireworks together (most commonly were the roman candle sticks) in their own places every single of the aforementioned eve itself every beginning of the year. Until somewhere in the very beginning of 2009 (I guess), I was able to watch the said eve itself due to I suddenly heard all of that firework explosions on the sky which caused me to wake up from my sleep, and then I decided to go out from my childhood house and visited one of the nearest places that had one of those simple firework shows (no matter if I was yawning severely or not), for this case it was the bank nearest from my childhood house. Everything particularly about it was really basic when it comes to how some people set those roman candle sticks casually like so in there in particular, and this was occurred repeatedly 4 times per each of the year (2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012).🎉🎆🎺

Example of the new year's eve in my hometown, held directly by my whole hometown's government (judging by that concert stage at the back)... This was taken in very late of 2017 (or new year's eve 2018), right before they set all of those fireworks on the top of that sports hall there...

In 2013 and all the way to 2020 (except 2015*), I decided to watch the said eve itself in completely different locations, yet it was held directly by my whole hometown's local government, instead of just watching certain small communities with their own basic eve parties like I used to. Sure, I decided to do so because the firework show that they usually provided with them were way much superior compared to what I watched it per each of the year in prior, thanks to how they usually rented certain "pyro" enthusiasts and experts in order to set many of those roman candle boxes in one (yes, those boxes, not the usual stick ones), resulting in much greater show of themselves instead of the casual ones like everybody would usually do every new year's eve... There were 3 locations specifically about how they celebrated them, which those places were:

1. Town center of my own hometown,
2. In front of my whole hometown's main government office, and
3. In front of the sports hall of my hometown (which they built the place itself back in 2016)

The first two following years, I watched the event itself specifically in the town center of my own hometown (2013 and 2014). The next two following years, I watched the event itself specifically in front of my whole hometown's main government office (2015 and 2016). Meanwhile for the last 4 following years, I watched the event itself specifically in front of the sports hall of my hometown (2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020)... These were definitely my best moments when it comes to how I celebrated the new year's eve by watching the said eve itself per each of the year, even I was able to record all of that amazing fireworks show with my old generic digital camera and my own phones, although I only uploaded few of them somewhere in part of my own social medias that I own. Of course, unlike how I celebrated it back in 2012 or prior in that particular location, I must dealt with the situation of the place around themselves, especially about how I literally dealt with massive amount of crowd who watched both music concert and firework shows respectively, otherwise I would pass out if I wouldn't strong and careful enough against this exact situation (especially when the firework show itself was over, and so for leaving the location itself). That particular crowd problems aside, it was really fun experience of me watching it in general per each of the year........... until the dreadful pandemic began after the last one that they celebrated.

* means I had a total health problem, but I couldn't tell you about the aforementioned health problem itself...

After the last one that I watched, there were no official announcement directly from themselves due to the pandemic that was occurred for roughly 2 years (including the car free night near them), even if the pandemic itself was over. For now, there is no aforementioned event from themselves anymore, which means I simply don't bother to watch it in person, no matter if I do bother to check it or not (even if I also check it on the certain social media account admins of my whole hometown as well)... Even I ever checked the place where they used to celebrate it before, and it turned out if there were no actual event itself from themselves. So, that was basically it, no more for those of the said events directly from themselves in general (AFAIK), apart from many of those basic eve parties that certain small communities with their own amount of budget usually do in certain locations outside those ones that our whole hometown's local government used to celebrate it specifically like so back in those days per each of the year. Even if both of my parents literally warned me in order not to watch it because it's so pointless to check it anyway (considering if I recently live in much further location between both my current house and those locations where they used to do so), they both also told me if I'd recklessly doing so no matter what, I would ended up in any of those unexpected technical difficulties specifically on the streets every single night.

Well, there you have it for my own short story particularly about the new year's eve in my own hometown in general, ranging from the basic ones that were usually held by certain small communities in their own locations, until all the way to how my whole hometown's government used to celebrate it specifically like so in those locations that they chose. If you have your own story particularly about this from your own hometown (or even your place where you currently settling in), feel free to share your own short story in your comments section if you're able to. That's it for what I could particularly say about this, and as always, thanks for reading this special article...🎉🎆🎇🎊🎺

Location of my hometown (in case you've wondering): Tulungagung, East Java, Indonesia

Update on video editors for my YouTube channel of fans...

After I made my original article entitled "Video editors for my YouTube channel of fans" from a while ago, so it's time for the major update about how's going on with the current state of certain video editors that I ever used, specifically on my current laptop that I'm using right now. Even if the video editing software programs are almost similar to what I also explained in my aforementioned titular article about them, they did have some major changes from one way to another, ranging from how it performs in general until all the way to certain tasks that I must do in order to make them survive. There are also some of the brand new ones that I ever used, which I also explain them particularly in here too. Without further ado, here is my latest update about how's going on with those video editing programs that I ever used, particularly dedicated for my YouTube channel of fans (and so for my other channel that I own too, if I needed to):

A. Stock Windows 10 video editor

First off, remember the time I edited majority of my electric fan videos using this particular basic video editor that comes freely with my laptop's current version of Windows 10 since I newly acquired my laptop that I'm particularly using right now? Well, those were the days yet I occasionally use it these days, even if it lacks certain things that video editors usually do have as what I clearly stated in my original article particularly about it... However, every single time I open the app itself recently (which is obviously bundled with the Photos app), it will soon-to-be defunct due to the fact it won't be included soon, even if it's still clearly available at the moment. Instead, they recommended me to install Microsoft Clipchamp once it disappears soon, which I will explain particularly about it later.

B. Capcut

Believe or not, Capcut has it's own PC port particularly about it since last year, because I sometimes edit my own videos literally using the mobile version of it in my current phone. So, I took the opportunity to download it from the official Capcut website, because somebody said it was a perfect video editor dedicated for certain computers or laptops with mostly potato specifications (including my current laptop). I logged in using my own account that was integrated with Tiktok, then I edited bunch of my own electric fan videos using it. The results about how I edited them using it felt 11:12 to that one of Adobe Premiere Pro, albeit with vastly different user interface, which was their obvious ByteDance's pride. It was really a great experience of me using it thanks to how fairly great the results that it delivered on all of my video footages that I edited and exported particularly with it, until I encountered certain amount of problems while I'm specifically editing them with it on my laptop that I'm currently using right now.

You would think if Capcut will work smoothly in my current laptop with it's own specifications that I'm currently using right now? I would say both yes and no. The word "yes", it had plenty of cool features just exactly like the mobile version of it, so I would edit them with it easier, unlike how I had to struggle myself all the time with my fingers particularly on my own phone... On the other hand though, the word "no" literally states about how it performs specifically on my laptop with it's own specifications that it has. It may worked just okay as what I expected, but sometimes it would drop frame rates while I'm playing my own edited videos on it. Well, that's the tip of the iceberg about how it performs then, because it also made the matters WORSE once I updated it to the latest version. It lagged, stuttered, and dropped frame rates frequently than before, which made me nearly impossible to do so. Even the mouse's cursor also partially lagged and stuttered during I tried to edit everything on it too... Which means, the results about how it performed particularly on my current laptop did perform partially similar to how my ancient short lived 13" Dell laptop that I stupidly bought it online in 2020 with Adobe Premiere Pro 2015 that was installed on it, or I tried to run VSDC on my old Samsung laptop right before this one with it's own older potato specifications that it had.

C. Microsoft Clipchamp

Well, this is literally the prime reason about how come if that particular stock Windows 10 video editor that was bundled with it's own Photos app will soon-to-be defunct. Even if I didn't export anything from this particular video editor yet, I ever tried to edit my own video footages briefly in here, and it didn't seem to work that well on my current laptop that I'm using right now, almost exactly in similar fashion to what I did with the Capcut. It also lagged, stuttered and dropped framerates if I put too much pressure into it. Which means, I don't think if I'm able to edit anything on this particular video editor anyway. It also made the matters worse, there are no specific options in order to make it less lagging or stuttering while I'm editing on it at all.

D. Microsoft PowerPoint (2019 version)

(i just made my short animation using it)

Yes, you aren't kidding. Microsoft PowerPoint does have a feature to export any kinds of presentation slides to video files. This particular feature actually existed since the 2013 version of the said program itself (according to the research particularly about it somewhere else). As for my own experience of me using it, I made certain of my presentations in there, both basic presentations, minimalist animations, and enhanced picture slideshows, respectively. In order to make the perfect video out from series of themselves, I must set certain animation timings in all-out full-auto (for example: transitions between two slides, object animations, play audio or video files in specific amount of delay that they have, etc.). Yes, it did export presentation slides just reasonably okay, but it had minor flaws specifically about how I put some music tracks or sound effects on it (minor cut-outs with any kinds of music tracks that I put in there, and minor lags with any kinds of sound effects that I put in there too).

E. VideoPad Video Editor (current version), but...

After I left the older version of it due to the fact I rarely editing my own videos using it from several years ago (despite it would work decently on my current laptop, thanks to how I checked the minimum specifications about the whole video editor itself on it's own official NCH website particularly about it), I decided to revisit it by downloading the current version of it officially from the official NCH website itself, and I took the opportunity to test it by editing my own videos on it in particular. While it performed just fairly okay on my current laptop, and it exports my edited videos just fairly good considered how pretty much on-point this particular basic video editor was, it had one major problem: I actually downloaded the unlicensed trial demo version of the whole video editor itself! Which literally means, I MUST enter a registration code in order to unlock it (or imagine if I'm wealthy, I would buy their full licensed version of the said video editor itself), otherwise I wouldn't even able to use it anyway once the trial expires. That's basically it; there's NO absolute way to use it at all unless if I would able to search the fully unlocked version of the said video editor itself online, or even those pirated registration codes that commonly available everywhere online to casually unlock it, which still didn't keep it anyway once I close it then I re-open it again. F***

Well then, there you have it for my latest update of the video editors that I ever used, dedicated for my YouTube channel of fans (and so for my other YouTube channel that I own too, albeit if I don't have any contents to upload yet at the moment). I don't think if most of them would work properly, specifically for my current's laptop's specification that it has. Not only just those, I also dealt with one of them that was literally unusable in the first place, it's because in order to make it fully usable, I MUST f****** do their own certain pay-to-win feature to do so in their official way. Right now, with all of the flaws that almost all of the video editors that I already tried specifically on my own laptop that I'm particularly using right now, I'm looking for another lightweight video editor that will work just okay on my own laptop with it's own "modern day potato" specifications that it literally has. Anyway, if you already know about the perfect video editors that may work decently on my laptop that I'm using right now, please let me know particularly about it in the comments, unless if you still didn't take a look at the specification of my laptop that I'm currently using it in one of my older articles that I made from roughly 2 years ago... Thanks for reading this update article that literally explained about them, and hope you can pay full attention when it comes to dealing with one or few of those out there with your corresponding computer's or laptop's specifications that do you own, unless if you already purchased certain ones with excellent specifications, which I guarantee if most of them will work just great on your own.

i'm addicted to "braindead" social mobile apps, but...🤳

Before I explain about those social mobile apps that I classified them like so, you may ask me particularly about it, "Do you ever use certain (braindead) popular social apps, especially for those video sharing social medias that are exists these days?" Well, of course I recently do. Unfortunately, I'm addicted to certain of those "braindead" apps out there, especially for any kinds of video sharing social medias that are recently popular, which even beats up certain other social medias that were popular in it's days before these "braindead" apps existed (for this case, YouTube and certain Meta apps, respectively). Without further ado, I do spot two of the "braindead" video sharing social mobile apps that everybody around the world always use them both recently, specifically for everybody from our country. 📱

A. The two "braindead" social medias...🤳

1. TikTok

First off, of course TikTok is being one of them that I classified it as one of those "braindead" video sharing social medias that is recently popular these days. Not only the fact everybody from our country always use this "Tok" by uploading their prides in there (they usually upload certain short videos with remixed copyrighted music tracks), it also has certain other features that makes everybody just totally fascinated with this "Tok", being one of them is how it recently has it's own online marketplace, which also beats up any other online marketplace that are existed out there, thanks to it's own offering to buy any items from there for much cheaper price compared to what the other online marketplaces would offer in their respective platforms (including shipping, but it depends about which item that you will buy though).

As for how I'm particularly using it, I signed my main Google account in here, and uploaded whatever contents that I own in there for various purposes, ranging from archival purposes until all the way to pure fun purposes (because why not). Even if the views on there has less than 100K from all of my contents that I uploaded in there, but I was able to upload one of my videos in there that has more than 10K views! Although I did all of that effort by uploading them, that doesn't comparable by how it has a feature in order to invite friends to "earn money" from it, which I simply don't bother to do it for obvious reasons (if it presents though, because it rarely appears anyway). Lastly, for all kinds of contents that I search in there, I usually search certain contents that I usually seen them on any other social medias that I ever used just before. Even if I'm able to search them, it occasionally shows many of inaccurate results that doesn't match particularly with any of keywords that I exactly typed on it though.

For the online marketplace section that this "Tok" app offers, I ever purchased a random cheap item from it that costed IDR 18.000,-, including the shipping price (which was actually free shipping, fortunately). It has nothing to do with something related to both of my YouTube channels that I own, but I was able to purchase it for very first time on it using cash-on-delivery payment system. As for how I search any items that I want in there, it is somewhat accurate particularly with any of keywords that I exactly typed on it, unlike how I search majority of videos on it.

2. Snack Video

Another one of those "braindead" video sharing social medias that is recently popular these days, which is the Snack Video. This particular "yellow chocolate donut" app by Joyo CS (or it's internal name of the app itself also known as "Kwai Bulldog") also offers the same features almost in similar fashion like that "Tok" app that I mentioned just earlier. Unlike that "Tok" app, it has partially simpler features apart from watching any random contents (mainly videos) by any users out there, because this obviously doesn't have a built-in online marketplace like what that particular "Tok" app did. Instead, it has certain other features besides that one common practice that usually appears in one of these apps that I also explained just earlier. Those are the mini-games, watching ads to earn some coins for approximately 30 seconds in order to get some coins, and even a limited time "lottery" to win a latest iPhone (which is 99,9% highly unlikely to win it in there anyway).

As for how I'm particularly using it, for some reason I signed my other Google account in here instead of my main one, and uploaded whatever contents that I own in almost exact reasons just like what I did with that "Tok" app. As for the other features that this app offers, I even checked in for at least a month in order to get many coins as I can, thus it eventually converted into IDR currency in there every single day, albeit it only costed just IDR 4,- per 200 coins. Just like the "Tok" app, I usually search any kinds of contents that I usually seen them on my other social medias that I ever used, except I only search any of them specifically from our country, because if I tried to search anything outside from our country, it usually doesn't match with any of my keywords that I search on it.

B. Problems with any of these "braindead" apps...🤳

Even though if I recently installed both of those apps in my current phone, there are even more kinds of apps that I found particularly on Play Store, ranging from another one of those video sharing social media apps, games (mainly slot machine games and gambling games), survey apps, novel apps, and so on... Well, after I checked the reviews from each of the apps (or games) that shares this particular trait when it comes specifically about how to earn some money from any of them, several of the people said if either any of the apps or games BARELY withdraw money from any of them, even if they tried to withdraw them LESS than approximately IDR 50.000,- to (mostly) their popular e-wallet apps that they own. They also even said if the withdrawal process on most of the aforementioned apps or games also don't work at all, thus completely wasting their phone's data quota. 📱📶

As for how I ever dealt with one of those apps or games out there, unfortunately I ever installed one of those cheap games that they claimed if they were able to earn some money by simply playing it (for this case, I installed one of those crappy slot machine games). I played the game itself, and I even watch any random video ads in order to get some points, thus the points that I collected there were converted into IDR currency automatically by itself. Until the moment of truth where I tried to withdraw certain amount of money from it to one of my e-wallet apps that I installed particularly in my phone............ it simply didn't work. Seriously, it didn't even withdraw anything even if I put my correct phone number on it that is associated between the game and the aforementioned e-wallet app themselves. So that was it, I ended up uninstalling it off later on. 📱🎰➡❌💰

Another experience that I ever dealt on one of these kinds of apps or games like so (even though you probably ever experienced by one of these, even if I did on one of the two video sharing social apps that I mentioned just earlier), I had to do some sort of daily check-in tier system in one of those apps to get more points (which usually coins) for at least a month. After I successfully did the first phase of it for at least a month of me particularly doing so, suddenly the points of themselves were got lowered overtime, which makes it even harder to earn them entirely. This is possibly due to I didn't even invite any of my friends (or some people that I know out there) in order to use the exact kinds of apps that I used purposely for this to get even more points than just doing it all by myself, but I also felt suspicious if I already suspected if all kinds of process specifically like those were known as one of those popular schemes that most of the people would know when they're dealing with certain of those... It also makes the matters absurdly WORSE by the fact how most of the content creators on YouTube out there just dedicated for making their own tutorial videos of how to earn some money using ANY of those apps or games that they reviewed, which ironically resulting in how they got their own genuine YouTube revenue in their hands with ease thanks to their contents of themselves. On the other hand, it's also a polar opposite for most of the people who tried to use any of those apps or games that most of the said YouTubers taught at each of them per each of the people who tried to do so, which ended up wouldn't work as what they expected for. 📱🎞➡💵❓

Before I wrap up this article, something that is off-topic related to one of these apps (or even other types of apps out there), you may recognize if I mention ads on majority of those apps or games that I mentioned just before. Not just regular video ads, there are some sort of interactive ads that are present in any of them. Pretty sure if I ever explained this kind of topic on some of my other articles about annoying ads that I ever encountered, including the ones that I usually found from one of the mobile games that I usually play these days (of course I don't classify it as one of those "braindead" apps when it comes about how it has a feature to earn some money from it, but it BLATANTLY ISN'T; except it didn't present once I did an in-app purchase of something on it, which automatically removes any random ads from it)... Okay, back to those interactive ads that I was talking about. I always sick by any of those ads that mostly appeared alongside those of the video ads, and I'm concerned particularly about two types of them that bothered me the most. One of them is the popular mobile video game interactive ads, even if I was able to close it thanks to the "X" button that usually appears after few seconds of me WWP-ing (watching, waiting, and playing) it... Another one is the most annoying one that I ever dealt, which I'm spotting about how the F*** that one popular random online marketplace MASS SPAM their interactive ads, including by how they also added them on those kinds of apps (or games) sporadically like so. It also makes the matters worse if most of the ads that they advertise has NO access for closing it apart from the fact you can only ACCESS on the said marketplace itself! Grow up, that one online marketplace's developers and ad spreader m***********s! This is NOT YOUR way for making it way popular than any of those "braindead" apps or games that are existed out there! S*** 😡

Note: Excluding YouTube video ads from themselves (either you can or can't skip them), those ads from the aforementioned online marketplace also appears quite often on other kinds of apps or games that I installed. Even if their simple banner ads are commonly appear on them (which you can ignore them anyway, unless you just accidently tap one of those), but sometimes their dreaded interactive ads are also appears alongside with them, menacingly.

Well, there you have it for how I recently addicted with any of those "braindead" apps, yet majority of them are popular on mobile platforms. Actually, there are even more kinds of apps besides those two of the specific apps that I mentioned above (including games), yet several of them are also still available at the moment in either Android's Play Store or iOS's App Store. However, majority of them has downsides when it comes specifically about how to earn some money from each of those apps (or games). Yes, you can earn some money from any of them, but it is actually difficult as you expect, unless if you must do certain tasks in order to earn them with ease. Unfortunately though, most of them just don't seem to work as what they advertised, which resulting by how most of the people literally dealing with all kinds of technical difficulties from any of those apps (or games) in order to make it work, especially about how absurdly HARD they tried to withdraw some money from each of them, or on the worst cases, it BARELY doing so. Again, I felt suspicious if I already suspected if all kinds of process specifically like those were known as one of those popular schemes that most of the people would know when they're dealing with certain of those... With all of my suspects that I guessed from all of those "braindead" apps (and games), I can safely say that those are NOT definitely the best way to earn some money from them. Yes, you can entertain yourself with certain features in each of the apps (or games) out there, but they actually SUCK BALLS when it comes to earn some money from them, which doesn't even comparable to me waiting for my Adsense for at least approximately several months every turn (or even a year or more, particularly as for nowadays)... So, if you want to earn money quicker than those apps (or games), obviously get a real life job! Or, if you're creative enough yet you also have some sort of good potential from yourself, just become a YouTuber and upload whatever contents that do you want as long as it doesn't break all kinds of YouTube's guidelines. Well then, that's it from what I could say to the topic that I literally explained about those of the popular "braindead" apps (and games), which most of them do have their usual common practice where most of them do have that one feature where you can earn some money from them, which probably doesn't work like what they advertised. Thanks for reading this article, and pay full attention when it comes to dealing one of those apps (or games) out there.

Archive: Me vs. electric fan enthusiasts... Sort of (2015)

Even though I do post tons of my own electric fans in my dedicated YouTube channel of themselves since I made my own channel of themselves since almost a decade ago, I actually had one of my worst experience with them in my good old days with them, being the one that I'm talking about here was the worst one that I ever experienced, yet it would be the great way to terminate my own YouTube channel by that one loyal fan enthusiasts that wasn't from the same country where I do live, due to the fact I was doing something wrong with that one special enthusiast which causing he literally noticed me in order not to do it further, or else he will ended up terminating my own channel if I would doing so recklessly... Well, it's time to reveal my short story about how come if I ended up having the aforementioned problem which caused he almost decided to do the said serious action to my own channel.

As usual, I watched all kinds of electric fan videos on YouTube in those times around the whole world, ranging from the local ones from our country, until all the way to the ones that aren't from our country... However, I always bothered by that one special fan enthusiast from Malaysia with all of his nonsense comments (which turned out if he IS actually that special, judging by how he is still existed until today with his current YouTube channel that he has), which caused me decided to reply him with my own "bully" comments to him in order to stop it, many times in a row. Until he replied to various comments who commented on vast majority of vintage ceiling fan videos by one of the loyal fan enthusiasts from the United States, I kept "bullying" on him in order not to do it repeatedly. Of course HE noticed me instead of him with HIS obvious reason about why, because I kept harshly "bullied" to him out of control which caused HE disrespected me by simply terminating my own channel if I would recklessly do it even more.

With by how that particular fan enthusiast from United States took me HIS said serious action for NOT doing it further, I finally regretted it for not doing so at all costs in order to save my own channel for being terminated by HIM. This was also my turning point for me to finally stop "bullying" that one special enthusiast from Malaysia, even if he still exists since then until today. I had to shut up for a moment by how that particular fan enthusiast from United States TOTALLY warned to me with all of HIS warning sentences from HIM, which I ended up learned the lesson for NOT "bullying" him even further through one of my posts that I posted on Google+ that was once existed. Well, even though this particular story literally ended up there, but in the meantime HE learned me the lesson particularly like so, I almost s****** myself due to how I proven guilty to them both with all of those problems going on from one way to another specifically like so... Yep, after all of that occurred initially by myself to him, I finally learned the lesson for NOT absurdly doing so all over again since HE TOTALLY warned me, because I also realized if that one special fan enthusiast from Malaysia has an obvious disability by how he obviously can't hear anything apart from all of his own special gestures that he showed in his older videos of him in his old YouTube channel, before it got terminated several months ago by all of the sudden... 

Anyway, for the bonus for this article, something that is off-topic related to this particular article, because there was a random woman who constantly commented something with some sort of conflicts going on, yet she repeatedly doing those to the same enthusiast from the United States who learned me the lesson for NOT "bullying" that special fan enthusiast from Malaysia... I obviously didn't have a clue about what was going on with her, it's because I occasionally checked his Instagram account of him, her comments were almost everywhere on most of his own vintage ceiling fan acquisition pictures taken by him with all of her certain provoked words and sentences. Some people who commented on his pictures were unbearable to him, so he probably took a serious action by terminating her account (even though I didn't have a clue about what was going on with her after all of that occurred anyway).

Well then, pay an obvious attention when it comes to this, because no matter how much hate that you will do it to certain people that you simply don't like, sometimes there are certain people who just disrespects to you if you keep doing it out of control to themselves from their sides, even if they aren't knowing about what are you specifically doing so to themselves in the first place... Anyway, that's it for what I could say to this archived article of this. Be kind, respect, and support each other even with all of their own respective weaknesses from every aspects that they have, even if I obviously have a lot of weaknesses on every aspects that I particularly own for sure... For those two aforementioned fan enthusiasts that I mentioned there, I apologize for what I made a grave mistake specifically like those, even it was occurred from around 8 years ago. It was all my fault for doing all of that; it's because I didn't mean to make both of you went insane to myself during that occurred, it's due to I originally meant to learn a lesson from one of them in order to make him smarter than he used to, albeit I did it in such a wrong way to do so either way.

Unexpected moments with my Plants vs. Zombies 2...🎮📱

Well, it's been a while since I didn't explain about my Plants vs. Zombies video game series that I have in my own devices that I play, so I decided to explain about something unexpected that was once occurred on Plants vs. Zombies 2, particularly in my Android phone that I still own since few years ago until today. Yes, I did encounter some of my pure joy playing that particular Plants vs. Zombies video game since more than a decade ago, but I did spot one of them that almost made me lost everything on that particular game, but I did able to retrieve my whole backup data of it later on. Without further ado, let me reveal my short story about how come if I almost lose everything on it, right away. 👌

Basically, I had some stuff by looking at some junkies on Google Files. Upon I opened the app itself on my phone, I spotted many of the files which it referred as the ones that they need to delete them in order to free up my phone's internal storage space... Majority of them that it spotted were random files in various file formats, and random downloaded videos that are literally from some of those popular video sharing social medias that aren't YouTube based. There's also bunch of random video ads that also somehow downloaded in there too, which I also didn't surprise whether if I watched bunch of those random video ads from various apps that I used or any games that I played just before, they somehow downloaded them too without me noticing it until I realized by opening the Google Files to reveal the actual truth about them that lurks behind. 📁

🆗, back to the main topic of this particular article that I'm explaining right now... Right after I deleted majority of those junkies using that aforementioned file manager by Google there, I suddenly realized if I accidently deleted most of the core files that belongs to my Plants vs. Zombies 2 game that is clearly installed on my phone, including the kernel file of the whole game itself. Of course, I opened the game right after I did so, everything was reset into square one... yes, SQUARE ONE! Which means, I had to start all over again from very beginning of the game! I had a lot of trials and errors in order to retrieve my whole game's backup data back during this occurred accidently by myself using my phone's built-in file manager, but it didn't even work at all, unless I had to open another file manager in order to retrieve all of those back by simply replacing the existing kernel file of the whole game itself with a better one (instead of making duplicate with a number after the name of the kernel file itself, which clearly doesn't work at all), or even acquiring another kernel file that had everything unlocked to the max in the whole game itself online. 🤦‍♂️

During that happens, I almost lose my faith of me playing the particular game, until I decided to report this to EA website by showing myself my own player ID that is clearly stated on my Android phone by sending my own guest e-mail to themselves. Since I obviously didn't have my own EA account, I had to do so by sending it as a guest account in order to request it either way...  A few moments later, I decided to open the whole game itself, and it introduced me with a lot of duplicates of the player accounts on player list nicknamed myself. One of them was the one that had everything since I played it since early of 2015 (during the time I played it using my previous Android phone that I used to have), so I selected it then voila! There's my own backup data of the whole game that I was looking for! Not only the fact I was able to retrieve it back in general, I also shockingly surprised about how come if it automatically "hoarded" certain resources that I have in the game itself as well, ranging from approximately 8M coins, 10K gems, and even ~100* gauntlets! Well then, I was able to retrieve it back like so, even if I literally "hoarded" all of certain resources that I own there also, unless I already wasted any of them for buying certain stuffs in there. 😄

* means I had no clue if I counted that just right...

Well, there you have it for my short story that literally explains about that one unexpected moments that occurred sometime ago, particularly about the Plants vs. Zombies 2 video game that is installed in my Android device that I own since I acquired it few years ago until today. If you're also experiencing one of these unexpected problems like this on your mobile devices, feel free to let me know particularly about your story related to this particular article in the comments. Anyway, that's basically it for what I could explain the whole short story particularly about that, and pay attention when it comes to how you'll manage it without any accidents like what I unexpectedly did there. 🙏
