Disney Magical World - Marvellous Memories

Even after having the game for a long time now, I still haven't been able to 100% complete Disney Magical World. I still have a number of season specific clothing items to unlock along with 6 cards to collect. Since I haven't been making much progress in either of those departments, I thought it would be nice to share some photos I have taken of my adventures in the game. Now you can save photos you take in Disney Magical World but you cannot transfer them from the game onto the 3DS. Such a silly system, like do they just save in game and not on the SD card like every other game. So I ended up just taking photos of the in-game photos on my phone so please excuse the terrible quality of the photos.

First off are my photos from seasonal events and I have to say Halloween has my favourite costumes in the game. I really wish you could get the main character (i.e. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, etc) costumes to craft. I had the same thought in Disney Magical World 2 as I loved their outfits at Halloween and New Years. Daisy has the best Halloween outfit and Minnie and Mickey have super adorable New Years outfits that they wear in game at the start of the New Year.

December Favourites & Blog Update

I'm so glad that December is finally over and the new year is here because the last month has been a hectic one. It's the busiest time at work so it's been flat out but thankfully it's quietened down now. December was also busy with some Christmas stuff so I didn't get up to whole lot of stuff. But still some worthy mentions so let's get on with my December Favourites!

Gaming
I've been playing this game on Steam called Voodoo Garden which I've talked about before. It's a clicker style game with beautiful art design and is quite cheap as well if you want to pick it up in the current Steam sale. Almost finished the game this month achievement wise. I've filled up my entire garden and unlocked everything but I only have one achievement left to get. I quite enjoy clicker style games so if you have any recommendations for ones on Steam, leave them in the comments below!

In Disney Magical World, I finally got all the Christmas and Winter themed furniture and recipes. The Christmas items were rather cute and it was fun to throw a Christmas party on the 25th. I believe I'm only missing one or two winter season clothing items and other than that, I've just been collecting cards. Planning on collecting cards for January then trading them at the end of the month. Only missing a few cards now to complete the set of 300 and it's so frustrating never getting ones I need.

Music
Been super into After School recently and have been listening to some of their Korean releases non-stop. Mainly I've been into Cheot Sarang 첫사랑 (First Love) - The 6th Maxi Single which has perfect songs on it. The title track from their Virgin album is another favourite this month. I love the early sound of After School like the songs off the New Schoolgirl release. Virgin reminds me of those so I think that's why I enjoy it so much.

Stationery
Finally was able to use my new 2019 Diary which is the kikki.K Weekly Diary in the Sweet design. I had the same diary in 2018 which I reviewed here so I decided to get one again for 2019 as I liked the layout and design of the diary. I will post a more in depth review soon but here's a sneak peak at the diary. I got it back in October as a gift when it was available in the gift set with some bookmarks and a pen.

October Favourites

Another month has passed so here are my favourites for the month of October!

Gaming
Still playing Disney Magical World and slowly working my way through it. I'm currently up to 82 stickers and cleared most of the episodes. I'm stuck on defeating the final boss in Aladdin's World and I'm having trouble upgrading the wand as I don't have access to the last item I need for it. It's hard to earn coins in this game compared to the second one so now I've got a system of playing the game a few times a day just to collect coins at the Cafe.

Also in gaming news, I'm super excited for the release of New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star! I can't believe a new one came out so quickly, I'm still playing the second one. I've played the demo a few times and it seems the game is similar to New Style Boutique. The in-game clock system is going to drive me nuts though, I prefer the 3DS clock one.

Music
Didn't pick up any new albums this month, I'm saving up to get E-girls E.G. Crazy album and Dream Ami's Try Everything single. I really wanted to get Dream Ami's album she released this month but it was just too expensive and I already owned nearly all the tracks. That's one thing that frustrates me about j-pop albums, they often have songs I already brought in single form. I would've loved to have gotten the CD+DVD+Photobook version of her album as the cover was stunning, but it's a bit too out of my budget.

Isn't this Dream Ami cover so gorgeous?

Art 
My friend got my some gifts this month from Daiso which has the cutest and quirkiest stationery. A while ago we were in Daiso and found this hilarious pencil caps which are just caps you put on top of your pencil. Turns out my friend brought me a packet and they're actually quite good. It's handy to use on coloured or drawing pencils when you carrying them around in a pencil case. I also got some decorative tape which as an interesting case. It's kinda like a click pen, you click the top and the tape comes out the bottom. Then when you are finished, you just click it again and the tape retracts. I find it better than the usual white-out tape dispenser as I always seem to misplace the lid of mine. The BMO Badge shown in the picture was a gift as well and that comes from a company called We're All Mad Here. I have a super cute Lumpy Space Princess one from them as well that says Whatever It's 2009.

Toys
I had a gift card to use up recently so I decided to pick up two new Barbie Fashionista dolls for my collection. I used to be into Barbie collecting a long time ago, but stopped because my collection got too large (ended up selling half of it) and I wasn't interested in teh dolls that were out at the time. Now I've slowly been getting back into collecting mainly because of the amazing Fashionista dolls that Mattel produces. Fashionista dolls however are hard to get hold of in Australia and I rarely see new ones. I check all the toy stores and departments every week and they're still selling Fashionistas from 2016. I contacted Mattel and they said new ones aren't scheduled for release in Australia until next year which is annoying. Anyway I ended up getting Dolled Up In Dots (Number 13 Original) and Chambray Chic (Number 22 Curvy). I choose the Dolled Up one mainly for the outfit and I choose the Chambray Chic as I did not yet have a curvy doll and I really liked the face mold of this doll. I've already got a petite brunette doll in my collection so now I'm only missing a tall one to have all the different varieties. I also picked up a few outfit sets but I'm planning on making a post about Barbie's soon to cover those.

This month I came across the most adorable mug. Saw these cute Pokemon themed Halloween mugs in a store and they are just perfect! The top one is my favourite as I love the colours on it and how cute Pikachu looks in that Halloween outfit. Halloween merchandise from Japan is always amazing and if I lived there, my place would just be full of so much stuff (especially Rilakkuma which is my number one favourite).

September Favourites

The end of September is almost here so I thought I'd post a list of some of my favourite things from this month!

Gaming 
Recently I got Disney Magical World and I've been playing it during my free time. I've got the second one which I've almost finished and the first one is quite different from the second. It's a lot more challenging trying to get items to craft items so it's taking a while to get anywhere in the game. I'm up to about 35 stickers so far which isn't too bad.

Music
Got a few new albums this month which were mainly j-pop ones. Other than that, I've been getting back into music I used to listen to before I got in kpop and jpop. Been on an 80's kick recently so I've been listening to Icehouse, Pet Shop Boys and Eurythmics. The radio plays at the place I work and it's always exciting when they play what they call 'old school music'. Now I wouldn't call 2011 old school, but when they start playing hits from 2006, it takes me back to listening to the same songs back in senior school.

Movies 
I don't get to the movies too often considering I work next to one, but I managed to make it there this month. It was the 20th anniversary of Spiceworld this year and cinemas around the country where airing it to celebrate. I went to the screening the other night and it was amazing! I hadn't seen a movie in this particular cinema room (I usually go to ones in the smaller cinemas) but it was awesome to see it on the biggest screen the cinema has. It was really fun and I enjoyed feeling like I was back in the 1990's as a kid singing along to the hits of the Spice Girls.

Books
Haven't had the chance to read too many books this month, but at the start of September I did read Scooter Girl. Originally I had seen it in a local comic shop when I was in there with friends. However I came across it at my library so I thought I'd hire it to read and I really enjoyed it! The story was interesting and I loved the mod feel to the story and characters.
