Hello y'all!! I'm really glad to say that sillyfes is oficially 3 years old now! It's a little bit surreal, I'm not gonna lie. I mean, it doesn't feel like that much time has passed since I've joined Neocities and uploaded the very first version of this site, but it also feels like a lot of time as passed since then. Maybe it's just my perception of time that's a little funky, but funny how that feels.
It has also been a while I've made a blogpost. Not that I didn't update more things in the site. The Chi's Sweet Home is more completed then ever before, although I do need to rewrite and change a few things, but still, I'm confident to say it's more "complete". I'm also working on the Ib review, I just haven't posted what I currently have prepared yet. But I do have to admit I've been somewhat lacking in updates in other fronts. The blog, for starters, has been completly out cold for 4 months. The art gallery has also seen better days in general. While a few parts of my daily routine have changed since 2024 AND 2025, I have to admit this is mostly my fault. Not that I SHOULD think this way. Sillyfes is, in all intents and porpouses, a hobby of mine. I shouldn't keep it always up to date because I have to, but because I want to. But I also can't help but feel like I'm just being a lazy bum. And while part of it might be due to a lot of places wanting you to always be up to date, I do think part of it is somewhat true, as I like working on this site and meeting others through it, but for a reason or another I don't end up working much on it. Sure, I have other things to do, some more important then others, but I feel like in the end of the day I'm just letting myself down.
In situations like this I would write I'm planning to add next, but I think I would like to promise me, to myself, of not worrying too much. I'm currently 20 years old, I'm gonna turn 21 by the end of the year, but perhaps I put a lot of pressure to myself way too easily. My studies to work on videosgames has led me to believe that I should have something finished as fast as possible to show to the world, so, no what I do, I'm worried I'm wasting my time. Wasting my time to make my site, wasting my time to make a game, wasting my time to prove I'm worth something. The truth is: I still have a long life before me. it may take a while, but I'm sure I'll make my dreams come true someday. I can still make a lot of things today and I'm sure if I put my mind to it I can find time and place to do it. I shouldn't do it because "I HAVE TO", I should do it because I like it and it's fun. That's why I think it's better to not promise what I want to add and whatnot. I WILL, however, keep working on sillyfes because I really like it here!!!
(I hope this doesn't sound too much confusing! I feel like it's good to talk about my own worries, but I find this one can be difficult to explain to others)
One thing that I did that I haven't show y'all yet it this AMV!! It's an AMV for Persona 4 with the song Your Affection. It took me a little while to finish it, but I'm really proud of it, with the video featuring the whole song beggining to end! This time I also used a different editing software, called Kdenlive. It isn't that different from premiere in my opinion, and while it isn't 1-to-1 I do think I got the hang of it halfway through. Doing these things is really, really fun too! Hope you'll like it, even if you aren't a Persona 4 fan.
This is all I have for today!
I'm really glad for everyone that has been following, visiting and reading sillyfes. It warms my heart to see something I've worked on being able to continue for that long, and I'll keep on working on it with the same mentallity that I started with: "I'm gonna do it because it's fun"!!!
Thank you very much and happy spooky month to everyone!!
