For the past week and a half, I’ve been so busy with work (full-time and part-time) that I hardly leave my place in front of the computer. I’m in the office from 8:30am to 5:00pm, I reach home at around 6:00pm, I take a quick shuteye for 30 to 45 minutes, then I open my laptop and get back to work. It gets too much sometimes, but I’m really not complaining. Truth is, I’d rather have something productive to do (that I love to do, of course) than throw away precious time doing nothing. Plus, I’m really a homebuddy. I mean, look at me! It’s a Friday night and other people my age are still out having a good time with their friends and releasing all the stress they’ve been under for the whole week, but here I am. At home. Taking comfort in the solace of my bedroom. My very own quiet place. (*ahem* Loser.)
In the middle of a very busy time, it’s always healthy to find something you can do to free yourself of the tension, even if it’s just for a few minutes. And in my case, I play the kids game “Feeding Frenzy“. lol.
It’s really just a simple game. Your profile is a fish and your job is to snack on all the smaller fishes by moving your mouse around so you can earn points, grow bigger, and advance up to the very last level (which is the top of the deep sea food chain). There are also bigger fishes loitering around ready to gobble you up, so you must stay away from them.. or bite the tail in the case of the big barracuda. Heh.
Feeding Frenzy is a no-brainer, which is probably why I like it so much. I’m using my brain cells all day long that an enjoyable game with cute, colorful graphics and a very simple objective is perfect to make me loosen up a little.
It’s actually because of my 3-year old cousin that I came to know this kids game. They have tons of games in their computer back in Pampanga, most of which I’m unfamiliar with, and Feeding Frenzy was my little cousin RJ’s favorite. When I played it the first time, with him beside me, I kept losing “fish” lives whenever I get myself eaten by the bigger fishes! That should be understandable as it was my first time, but I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when RJ suddenly turned to look at me with a straight face and said,
“Ate Joni, di ka naman marunong eh! Ako na lang maglalaro, panoorin mo na lang ako.”
Surprisingly, he was very good at it. I never once thought it possible that I’d lose face in front of a small 3-year old boy.
So hey, maybe you can get this game for your kids, little brothers, little sisters, little cousins, or what have you. They’re gonna love it. And I’m pretty sure no animals were harmed in the making of this game. :P
OK. Back to work.

Try Desktop Tower Defense for a more “aggressive” play. (http://www.handdrawngames.com/DesktopTD/Game.asp)
Or Bloxors (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/games/bloxorz) for a puzzle-like game. (Some people hate puzzle games because they don’t like to think while playing, but Bloxors is so pretty to look at.) :-)
