LINE Play 2.0

hi Guys..

LINE Play

I think I've talked about this before and I remembered my ex-work mates laughed at me for being 'passionate' with a game sampai making a post about it. I didn't feel offended tho. Instead, I take it as a compliment. LOL 
coz to me, anything that helps me escape the real world (and its heartache) is a good thing.

this post is inspired by below youtube video.




hashtag relatable.


So, LINE Play.


I started back in 2013.
Actually, I'm not sure when but the new updates and upgrades has this:

it indicates when my avatar was created but they called it the 'Avatar Birthday'.

recently the game has major updates. they came at the right time, I was already neglecting the game for awhile before that. I mean, adalah I play once in a while, collecting gems thru finishing the basic quests. but, yatah tu, kalau ku malas, malas lah ku main. 

Like in the video above, most of their 'shops' didn't have any update for years. and if you wanted new things, you gotta get them in the Gachas and the good ones (a.k.a. Disney ones) cost 'cash' (real money) instead of 'gems'. the one that cost 'gems' usually not that interesting? cute, but i can get by without.

I remembered downloading this game becoz it reminds me of the Facebook game called Pet Society. they have the same concept; do daily quests which consist of visiting friends, clean, water plans, pet their animal, to get gems (a.k.a. money).

So you can imagine how boring this game became after a while. 🤷



Now, as I mentioned earlier, they have new updates; 

- The Garden. kira, doing something outside the house lah ni.

- Atelier. erm, kedai jahit?

The materials needed in the Atelier can be obtain from The Garden; harvesting the tree for 'Drops', mining the rock for 'Fragments', and fishing for 'textiles'.

i didn't get it in the beginning, I even 'give up'. LOL 
but i tried again and I'm getting the hang of it now. which makes me wanna play more.

currently I'm busy collecting materials for my Atelier. it kept me busy, at least. I get to make new outfit. I doubt I can finish a single task. when you 'craft' it, it was like a lottery, either you'll get the one you want or not. i guess that's the basic thing for LINE Play; try balik2 sampai dapat. LOL

the daily quests now includes the 'Footsteps'. 

Usually, once I finished the quests, that's when I finished the game as in click out or tap out. 
Why I even bother finishing the quests? Because! when I finished a quest, I earned points for My Circle.
AND when I earn points for My Circle, I can get free gacha ticket for a limited edition Gacha. currently its going-to-the-movie themed. I like it. I love the Popcorn head. 

i think kan, the Gachas from Circle are the only Gachas I like nowadays, 
coz 
1. Free Gacha Tickets! 
2. New theme every month. 

Last month, October was Halloween themed (obviously),

September was Summer Breezy Camp themed, 

and August was Under-the-sea themed. of course, 

I hardly ever get a complete set, but still, most of the time, I can make a full outfit from the theme.  

  

Hmm.. i guess My Circle is one of the reason I still play this. I mean, at least, it really is something new every month.

Obviously this is just something I can go far at in the virtual world. I don't gain anything valuable for the real world other then:
1. Don't gamble. nobody really wins.
2. A peace of mind.

basically, I like this game. it's the only one yg I feel the most interactive?
Upside? good for letting time pass. 
Downside? too much time wasted!

Don't worry about me being too consumed by this game. I usually play when I actually have time to spare; lunch break and at home. this is not the game you play when you are doing something else. 

what about you guys?
any game you play at least once a day?
share them down in comment box below.

Plan With Me inspo

hi guys.

funny seeing me posting in the afternoon. 

I woke up early today, I guess when you're as old as I am, waking up early by nature is the norm. I needed to pack some things for storage but of course I procrastinated for hours. By 10am baru tah ku get up from bed and started the packing. it didn't take long tho, by 11am, I took a shower and prepared my stuff for my journal.

which brings us to our blog titled today! Plan With Me inspired by AmandaRachLee

first video I watched from her was actually the one with How to Calligraphy tutorial. at that time, I didn't really understand how youtube works. I only subscribed to her last year and since then I've been watching her do her Plan With Me series.

As far as I know, up until (maybe) two years ago, I only ever know one type of journaling; pouring my heart out in a book. So, I only ever enjoyed Amanda's videos thinking I'm never gonna do what she was doing coz I feel like her style is more for people who needs to organize their life. I am not saying I'm organized, you dam well know I am not. LOL besides, what the cook am I supposed to organize, I don't have an hectic life.

but last August, I was like, "Let's follow Amanda" coz she was doing the 80s theme and it was mostly patterns, I thought it will be easy enough for me to follow.

I know Amanda's do a Calendar for the month, Mood Tracker, Habit Tracker, weekly spread, sometimes Brain Dump, and sometimes Playlist.

Initially, I made it so complicated in my head. thinking about what use is it to me to be doing a calendar, weekly spread, brain dump, etc? then I thought, the journal I'm going to use is still very private and I just wanted to add colors into it (not that I don't already have pasted pictures in it), soo I said to myself, 'let's just do the cover, the quotes, habit and mood tracker, and playlist'. and that what's I've been doing for three months. 

Here's a look at my recreations:

August 2019: The 80s

the pastel tho. also, I have most of the colors Amanda was using. I felt 'included' or 'fit in' for once. LOL

I somehow skipped September. Even I don't know what happened in September.

October 2019: Ornaments.

Yeah, don't ask. 

November 2019: Coffee and Tea.

definitely my favorite. LOVE the color scheme.

For the first two months, as you can see, I missed 'filling in' my trackers. I guess I forgot. You see, I don't really write on a daily basis anymore so obviously when i don't write, I don't open the journal, and when i don't open the journal, I don't fill in.

That is why, for November, i decided to set an alarm to remind me to fill in my trackers.

Also, please ignore the previous Mood Trackers. I can't figured out how I was feeling most of the time, especially when i only fill in once every two weeks. I mostly choose neutral to take the easy way out. LOL 
Henceforth! for November, I'm gonna write down what ever or how ever many moods I have for the day. Yes, I have a lot of mood in one day. i don't know how you can just have one. unless people are doing an 'overall' mood. I don't think I can 'overall' my mood. Lemme try and adjust with this November entry first. See how it goes.

As for the Habit Trackers, this is the trickier part.
I went from having 9 Habits, to 6 Habits, to 4 Habits. 
obviously from experience, I realized, i don't have many habits. Unless you consider 'Procrastinating', 'Sleep', or 'Daydreaming' as a habit. Well i think it is, just, I prefer not to glorified those habits.

I add my own spread, Book Read.
I only done two so far. both I have shared in previous post but I'm going to share the second one here.

These two Playlists didn't ikut any theme. I made them when I feel like it.

Yes, it looks like I only listened to certain songs for months and months at a time.

I'm that unchanging.

also, NCT-Jaehyun!! is love!!

And that is all I have for now. Maybe i'll update on another post when I have made more.

So,
what do i gained from doing this 'Planning'?
well

1. it makes me more excited to open my journal; both to write or to try and 'scrapbook-ing'
2. it gives me something to do
3. it helps me occupied; especially the Book Read part. I may not be writing in my journal but at least, I'm filling in my time with reading and not stuck on my phone most of the time.

Of course, it's not for organizing or managing my time this thing that I'm doing. I've done that during work hours, I'm not gonna do that after work hour too.

Now, question of the post: Do you do any journal entry? 
if  yes, what kind? 
if no, would you like to try the above type of journal? 
Let me know in the comment.

Until next time, 
ciao~
