I had been selfish (and stupid too)

I probably should do the unboxing post since I already took the photo but I feel lazy. Anyway, right now is three in the morning and I haven't sleep yet. I can't seem to get good night sleeping because lately there's something in my mind that keep making me feel sad, like really really sad. I keep thinking about 3ds, yes that console from nintendo. I know its sound stupid and silly but the story goes a long way. You see, I got smitten by pokemon during middle school (which is around late 2010 or early 2011 I think) but since my parents never buy me a game console (well actually they did buy me PS2 around the same time I found my love for pokemon, but it didn't even last a year because the ps2 got struck by lightning) I can only play in emulator.

During the start of my highschool year (which is 2012) I finally asked if I can have a NDS to my parents. They didn't say no, which made me happy, but they say that I need to study good if really want it. That ignite a little spark of hope within me that I can finally have a console for the first time. So yeah I try my best at school so that I can have that nds. However, because I;'m totally suck balls on science I can only manage to rank 32 (out of 38) in my first semester (and 28 in the next one). Before the second year begin the school made us to choose whether to pick science division or social science division to focus our study, because I know my limit I decided to go with social science. Of course my mom wasn't mad at me but I know my dad was dissapointed (I'm the first one from my family to pick social science division). During the first term on my second year I manage to ranked 1 in my class, which is something considering last year I only managed to ranked 32 and 28. However, during this time I was too interested on JKT48 that I might've forgot about the whole nds thing. On the last year of highschool I started to gain back my love for pokemon and decided that I want a 3ds. So yeah, I worked harder than before. I wouldn't call myself a valedictorian but getting a college invitation from a prestigious university should say something about that right?

But a few months before I graduating, my dad finished his project in Sumatra which mean he's unemployed. This unemployement period last around six months and it was a hard time for our financial condition since my parents have to pay for both mine and my sister college tuition. Because of that I hold back the 3ds thingy for awhile since I don't want to burden them. Around August my dad got another project to work on and he manage to solve his inheritance problem. I was kinda happy because I'm sure they will buy it for me since there shouldn't be any obstacle this time.

Oh boy how I was wrong, they refuse to do it because they didn't see it as necessary. I was hurt, I was angry, and I feel betrayed. Everything that I did is for the sake of that thing and getting flat out rejection is the worst thing I've ever felt. They still bought me a new phone though (not to be sound like some brat but my old phone still works fine, that's why I prefer having 3ds than a new phone). After that I decided that I should start saving up if I really want that 3ds. This far I manage to save around IDR 1,2 million (the price of 3ds and charger is around IDR 2,8 million to 3 million). I participate in several writing competition so that I could get more money, but I haven't made it yet (my writing got published once though which is awesome). There's a flash sale up to 95 percent today and I really hope that the 3ds is one of the stuff that got 50% discount *crossing fingers*. I think I'll go to sleep now, I'm feeling like a total shit since I haven't sleep at all.

Yep this shit here is what I want

I got them lol, after a lot of saving I manage to get a secondhand New 3DS XL and a copy of Pokemon X in October 2016 (the last time I typed this was on June 2016). I was soo happy because it's the first time ever I bought a gaming machine, you can read more details on my 3DS journey here. I just want to update this post because it was so funny and also nostalgic. I was 18-19 and now I'm 25, in December of this post was created I lost my mom, everything just changed and I'm tired
