Chronicles of Nika

I’ve used a lot of different mp3 players before I shifted into using ipods. I am currently using an iPod Touch which I seriously love. I can use it for playing songs, watching movies, playing games, surfing the internet and keeping my life organized. It’s my lifesaver especially in times when I can’t lug around a laptop when I go out. If I’m in a place where there is no wifi available and I really need to use the internet, I just run Joiku on my e63 then start the wifi from my cellphone. I’m thinking of getting a much larger memory when I get more funds, since right now I only have the 32Gb 3rd gen one. I might even decide to get the iPad, just in case. xD

I’ve been playing Home Inn in Facebook and I got a bit addicted to it. Its quite fun to design rooms for your own inn and I think I missed playing SIMS. The furniture available in Home Inn is quite simpler than those in SIMS but since I don’t have access to SIMS anymore, I’m not complaining. They just introduced some more designs or themes and hopefully they add more in the future. Some of the lights there reminded me of Dolan Designs when I saw it one time.

I’ve also been enjoying PetVille from Zynga. They have really cute pets and they have better furniture than Home Inn and Pet Society.

Who else plays Evony: Age I? Its a free to play browser based game and they have quite a lot of servers already. I started playing it today because a friend from another game suggested it. I had some free time and I wanted to take my mind of all my school deadlines so i decided to check it out and I am hooked. Its something like Age of Empires and Civilization but browser based. I enjoy these strategic and civilization games because I enjoy seeing my towns grow. I used to play other browser based games before like Travian, Travians (they’re different from each other) and Kapilands.

Aesthetically speaking, its easy to the eyes and it has a calming tone to it. It makes me feel like I’m playing back in the middle ages so I like it a lot. The colors go well together and I can easily find what I need on the game’s interface. Everything is fine for me but I just hope that we get the option of minimizing the chat area in the future. I really don’t like how other players spam the boards and some are a little bit rude, so I would like to be able to minimize the chat window so I can enjoy the game without getting distracted by the flood of streaming text in front of me.

I think the game content is quite good and I enjoy how the difficulty increases as you grow your city. I’m still under the 7-day beginner protection so I am enjoying the pace of how my city grows. I will have sufficient time to build up my defenses as well as get a good amount of troops for scouting and farming. Although I am only after empty/abandoned cities and resources that have no owners. I don’t like conflict that much. Lol. I am enjoying the quests laid out by their team. It is very useful because the rewards are highly needed especially if you want to grow your empire as fast as possible. I enjoy buying resources using the ingame coins and I enjoy using the amulet to get access to the wheel of fortune. I’ve been able to get some really good prices from it, mostly high amounts of gold and iron. I’d like to get some coins when I get some funds because I really like the amulets. xD

In case you’d like to try it out, here are some iEvony invite codes you can use:

I am on Server 57 and my name there is Thessalonica. In case you do join, feel free to drop me a message. I’d love to find friends there. ^_^

Thank you so much to those who’ve been clicking on Manna’s image in my sidebar. She’s leveling quite nicely. I’ll be adding 2 new ponies in a bit and I need your help leveling them again. These two are part of my characters in a story I’m writing. xD The ponies I’ll be posting would be their ponysonas. xD Although I’m still trying to come up with the best mimic for them. I’ll be training/questing them too once I stop being lazy playing PI again. Good thing I’m stocked with mood enhancing items like the hallowwen lollipops and the summer snowcones from the last Extravaganza. having pretty pixel ponies means I don’t need to get horse supplements, at least the real kind. Woot! I don’t think real ponies eat snow cones or lollipops. Do they? n.n

I’ve been watching this movie a lot lately. I’ve been catching it on Star Movies I think or was it HBO. I really liked it a lot and I only found out the title awhile ago. xD

I liked it because it showed both sides of the story and one is able to understand what happens within a fulfillment center without getting too boring. I can relate a bit to it since I did work in the call center industry for a short while. Its not an easy job especially with the targets set by the management. Some are easy to attain while others can be a little bit impossible due to different customers and situations.

I think I’ll be getting a DVD copy of it. xD

I’m kinda addicted to it again after taking a bit of hiatus from Restaurant City for awhile. xD But I keep encountering errors when I try to play it. I had to upgrade again my flashplayer even though it worked properly last night. Its frustrating me so much since I want to level up. those gourmet points are taking so long to pile in. >.<

I haven't been playing Pet Society either and my sister takes care of my Farm Town. Lol. I am currently trying to level up my Happy Farm just so I can buy off all the lots available. Mina and Von even tried to teach me poker so we could play the one by zynga but all these games in Facebook is driving me crazy. So much software development in just a small span of time. There are so much applications to choose from in Facebook that at times I don’t want to log-in anymore. It gets addicting to the point that I don’t notice how much time has passed. Tsk.

If you know them chances are you’re addicted to Faceboook games like I am. I actually stopped playing them for more than a month or so because I was focusing on my classes. When I came back to play everyone has leveled up and I’m at the bottom. xD

I’m enjoying it again right now and hopefully I get more coins to get the stuff I want on Pet Society and Restaurant City. I just hate it when some of the items I want in PS are gone after a week. I can’t save for them that fast. >.< In RC its a pain to level up my dishes especially since I stopped logging in for a while so I didn't get the daily quiz and the ingredient that can be won on it. I started playing Farm Town again today because kath who I haven’t talked to in a long long time finally joined Facebook today and that was how our paths crossed again. xD

Well my bad month is about to end unless February 2009 suddenly sprouts another February day tomorrow. To celebrate this I finally decided to purchase my avatar name in IMVU. Lol. Well I figured its about time, I registered there way back in ‘05 and I am recently hooked with it again. The new houses, clothes and animations are so much fun. Its like having SIMS all over again.

Besides its currently the only place I can have more than 10 houses under my name. Virtual property is way cheaper than real life. Tsk tsk. I have my own beach house, villa, forest, coffee shop, cabin, and a whole lot more. If I had those in real life, I’d be so rich. Well I don’t really want to own a forest though. I imagine it would be quite hard to ask my minions for rent. They have claws and fangs which I naturally don’t have. Unless you count the times when the situation calls for one. O.o

Soooo there. I was a bit bummed a few hours after that purchase though because then I received a message from my domain provider that my domain was expiring quite soon. So I panicked then realized, I’ll just have to borrow from Dad via the plastic. So I only need to sell some cookies to offset the money used for my avatar name and my domain renewal so I can pay Dad when the next month’s bill comes in. -dances-

P.S. If you want to chat with me and enjoy my beach view, you definitely need to hook up with IMVU. Haha. You can sign up through my link if you want.^^
