Aloha Kahako! Here we are, a day I knew was coming but one, I never wanted to actually arrive. I can tell you it’s been one hell of a journey to where I am today! I owe my thanks to the Johnathan and Al and all the people at GameDevHQ, ACI & The Economic Board ofContinue reading “day 40 = Thats a wrap!”

Aloha my ohana. We are a day away from the end of my internship and you can guess how I’m feeling. Today was a bit distracting. I had to miss my AM meeting with my team due to my daughters doctor appointment. They were cool enough to check in through message. They seem to beContinue reading “day 39 = Thursday is lost”

Wednesday is here and its a 3,2,1 countdown to some real world shit! Having only a couple job leads and not knowing if my unemployment will continue is pretty stressful. I’m keeping my head up though and not giving up. I learned to love this stuff and will do whatever’s necessary to continue to learnContinue reading “day 38 === 3..2..1..”

Aloha friends! Here we are, another day closer to the end. A lot of questions about the future linger. Staying focused on course work has been extremely difficult while on the job hunt. I am getting about a section a day completed though. I have really slowed down because of all this. Like a partContinue reading “day 37 = looking forward”

Aloha, here we are my friends! This is the last week of our internship, for those who live on the outer islands that is. All others will continue on until the 28th of this month and if lucky enough into 2021! Even though I’m being kicked on a some stupid technicality, I’m rooting for myContinue reading “day 36 = “Countdown to 40””

Aloha my friends! Another day as a developer and just jotting down my thoughts for Friday. I’m trying to pick up my spirit and write about something not so emotional. I feel like its important though. Not to ignore the process and keep it real as much as possible, without sounding like a lil bitchhh!!Continue reading “day 35 = “island coding””

Aloha all that are interested! Another beautiful day on the islands. Just documenting what I can of my journey on this Thursday. I can barely focus though. It’s getting close to the end and I seem to be getting distracted by your every day life troubles. Not only have I been relying on this programContinue reading “day 34 = “seek & u shall find””

Aloha kahako! It’s Weds, we are half way through the week and losing time! Well, I’m losing time! 🤣 Only a couple days left in this internship, only for people not on Oahu. Which if you ask me, its kind of lame! It’s one thing if it ends only a couple weeks after me. But,Continue reading “day 33 = “key maker””

Aloha all! Its been another day spent deep in code, well timeline to be exact. I’ve been kind of stuck. I’m a perfectionist and when something doesn’t look right I cant move on until I fix it. I’ve worked with a lot of video production in the past so working on these cutscenes come secondContinue reading “day 32 = “lost and found””

Aloha kahako! It’s Monday and it’s my last week in this internship, provided by the wonderful people at ACI Hawaii and GameDevHQ! I can say I’m a bit timid by what lies a head but, excited to move on. I can say whole heartedly, that I’m so appreciative to have had this opportunity. It’s broughtContinue reading “day 31 = “last monday blues””
