HappyBerry's Happy Birthday

Wow! I've been getting so lazy with updating my blog! So so so sorry guys! School has been super busy for me. It's only been 3 weeks and midterms are already coming next week! But let's talk about more happy things.

This past Monday, Jan 17th, I turned 22! WEEE! I had tons of fun with my lovely friends. We went shopping and I bought lots of stuff to celebrate. Among those things is a new TV! I know I bought a 22" before but I returned it and bought a 26" of the same brand and same model for the same price!!! So awesome. Good thing I bought the TV that day because it goes super well with the present that my friend brought me the next day: A PS3!!!!



And of course, being as awesome as he is, he also bought me Assassins Creed Brotherhood to go with it!



I LOVE MY FRIENDS SOOOO MUCH!! I can't wait to play with my PS3. But I will. Because the exams are right around the corner and I know if I start now I will not be able to stop playing! It will be just like that time when I got Kingdom Hearts 2 and I spend 36 hours straight without sleep to finish it. My best friend had always said I have very little self control. I totally agree with her lol. Therefore I will not play until after midterms! I look forward to finally playing the game so I can blog about it!

A Few Tips Regarding Leggings

Leggings have rapidly gained huge popularity over the past 2 years. There are so many different types of patterns and ways of wearing leggings. Although I am no fashion expert, I have noticed that there is a very common rule that people miss when they wear leggings: LEGGINGS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE WORN IN PLACE OF PANTS!!!

While most leggings are thicker and less transparent than stockings, leggings are still accessories. They are meant to be worn UNDER or WITH things to enhance the overall effect. Meaning one should not replace pants. Wearing legging with a shirt that doesn't go past your hip is like wearing stockings with nothing to cover it. It is a very embarrassing look for you and others around you.

In order to prevent this embarrassing situation, there are simple checks you can perform before leaving the house:
1. After putting on all your clothes, stand infront of a full length mirror.
2. Stretch your body by lifting both of your arms as high as you can.
3. Check to make sure your butt and crotch is not exposed.
If you have passed all of these, then you are ready to head out and have fun!

If you absolutely must wear leggings with a shirt that goes above your hips, there are a few exceptions that you can choose. For example, there are leggings that have jean patterns which will avoid the embarrassing look that one colored, patternless leggings will create. However, it is still generally discouraged.

I hope this was useful! :D

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale

Over winter break, Steam was having its annual Christmas sale on games. So I decided to try out this game that my friends have been asking me to get. "Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale" is a game in which you play a young girl, Recette, and run a shop to try to pay off the debt that your father left behind. You have one week to pay off a certain amount of debt, of which the amount increases more than double every week. In order to successfully run the shop, you must learn to negotiate, adventure, and take advantage of the news you hear.

After finishing the main part of this game (paying off the debt), I have to say: I am absolutely in love with this game! I have always liked playing management games like "Cake Mania" or "Sim City" and such. This game not only allows you to sell stuff, it also allows you to learn to bargain with your customers (whose price limit changes as you get on their good side), learn about each character, and fight monster to get items for your shop! I loved the game so much that I started keeping an excel sheet on my customers to keep track of sales lol.

If you like management games, I would say this is the game for you. I hope you all have fun! Capitalism, ho!
