March Favourites

Happy to see the end of March as this month has been quite eventful. Lately I've been having a stressful time and looks like it will stick around for a while longer. So I haven't really been doing much besides playing Nintendo Switch or reading. Hopefully April will be better and things will improved. I will miss the warm weather though as we starting to head into Autumn. It is meant to be stormy the next few days which will be good as we haven't had rain for a long time.

Gaming

I have been playing my Nintendo Switch more than usual and I actually got back into Fashion Dreamer! During my last play journal that I posted that other day, I commented on how I was a bit bored with the game but once I got back into it, I found it quite fun. There is currently an event running and I have been enjoying taking part in that. I want to try out making some cute outfits to take photos in and level up the NPCs.

Another game that I've been super into is Pretty Princess Party which I totally forgot I owned! It got caught up in all the games I have on my Switch and I randomly decided to play it again the other week. I forgot how adorable it is and I love a good collectible game. Once I focus on it, I should be able to finish it in no time and trying to master that silly horse riding game. Never have been good at that type of mini game and I was surprised I aced the dancing one as usually I'm awful at rhythm games. Might post a play journal on Pretty Princess Party one day if I have enough photos. Maybe once I get closer to completing the storyline or collections.

Music

Finally brought all the items I could on Yahoo Auctions and I am currently waiting for the parcel. So excited to get all my Japanese CDs as they are unavailable here in Australia. Our iTunes didn't have a lot of the albums I was looking for and luckily I could find copies on Yahoo Auctions. The parcel will take a while to get to my address but I don't mind waiting.

Fashion Dreamer Play Journal - Finishing The Game Last Year

A bit of a silly title for this play journal as I actually finished the main story line in Fashion Dreamer last year, but haven't posted screenshots from it yet. So hence the name of this post and I should have one more play journal before I've caught up on my screenshots. First off how cute is this photo I took of my character! I was in love with this outfit and loved how the pink hair matched so perfectly.

This is one of the looks that I love in Fashion Dreamer! White and black always looks so stylish together and the long skirt gives it a feminine look. I believe I put a similar outfit on my character later on in the game. I have a billion outfit screenshots from other muses as I swear that is the only thing I take photos of. Sometimes I will take a selfie with them as well to commemorate the outfit and it is cool to get some points as well.

Aespa 3rd Mini Album My World - Album Review (Zine Spicy Version)

First music review for 2024 is aespa's mini album My World! Super happy that my local music store stocks aespa as they are the only current generation girl group that I collect. Plus it makes it super easy to find the albums and I always pre-order to make sure I can get a copy. It seems to fly off the shelves quick at my local store however if I visit the same stores elsewhere, you can usually find a copy.

My World is the 3rd Mini Album from Korean girl group aespa and it was released on May 8th 2023. The album came in 19 versions which is mind boggling. Who on earth would attempt to even collect all of those. I love aespa but that's a bit too much and I wish they would cut down on the number of types available. As mentioned before, I purchased my CD from JB Hi-Fi and I got the Spicy versions of the Zine type. I didn't know which version I would get as it random on what the supplier sends so I was excited when the zine one came (even though I did buy the other version later on). The Spicy Zine version comes with the following contents:

• CD - 6 track mini album
• 40 page Photobook
• Trading card set of 4 cards
• Photocard (Random 1 out of 4 types)
• Poster (Random 1 out of 2 types)
• English lyrics booklet
• SM promotional flyer

I've been loving this style of photo book that SM has been doing lately. They are smaller to store on the shelf and the magazine concept is a fun one. This concept matched the vibe of this song perfectly and you get so many great photos in the photo book. There was just too many amazing pages to choose from for photos! I did get one of their next mini albums in the same style of photo book and they look great next to each other.

February Favourites

A few days late for the monthly favourites as it has been a hectic start to March. Didn't even realise we were at the end of February until I had to start writing March as the month. Lucky I have a job that requires writing the date quite often otherwise I'd have no idea what month it is. We had some great weather lately as it has been ideal summer weather. Not crazy hot but still warm. Love being able to wear shorts all the time and loose tank tops. Hopefully this type of weather stays around for a while as I'm not a fan of winter. Starting off this post with these cute stickers I picked up at Daiso recently! The store near me has actually been stocking some new sticker styles which is surprising! The prices went up to $3.30 which is kind of pricey for what you get compared to online whoever they are very pretty. I have the one in the middle in the colour pink but had never seen this cream colour set before.

Gaming

Not much happening this month besides playing random games on my switch. I've been super into the Faircroft Antiques series and almost finished my second game in the series. Picked them up during a sale and they are quite fun games. Plus I can get plenty of gameplay out of them over the course of a few weeks. Also been playing lots of solitare and random pet games on the switch too.

Music

So I ended doing something I didn't think I would do and brought some items on Yahoo Auctions. I wasn't planning on buying CD's from Japan for a while however I realise it was the only way I could get certain m.o.v.e albums. They were only available in Japan and luckily I was able to find the three I was after. Still thinking about some other things I want to pick up and will update when the parcel arrives. I'm trying to order albums/singles that I cannot get on iTunes here and looking for albums that are harder to find.
