images taken from the game and from the game manual I have an itch to play Beach Life every now and then. The last time it happened, I found a band-aid solution to guests complaining about high prices. I wanted to make more changes if I could but I couldn't find a way to open and read some of the script files. There are some files in the game that are readable on notepad ( GameParameters.pis and the other . pis files on each scenario and sandscenario folder) but when you try to open up the . ble files, you only see random symbols. I've tried tools that I've seen recommended online ( Game Extractor , Ghidra , Offzip to name a few). Admittedly, I did just glaze over them because I know nothing about reverse engineering a game and didn't know what to do. I have an inkling to play it again recently, and I decided to try an idea that has been looming over my head but have been avoiding.... The GameParameters.pis file had a header containing the file name, and I notice...

I've read somewhere that Avon used to do "inspired" perfumes of popular fragrances (they don't do an actual dupe wherein it would smell too similar) so I was wondering if Avon had a scent that was inspired by Lauren (by Ralph Lauren ) They had a fragrance that was released the same year as Lauren , called Tempo . I couldn't find a comprehensive list of notes online, just vague descriptions saying the top notes are orange blossom, middle notes woody with moss for base. Still, it was also chypre like Lauren and I happen to come across .33 FL oz bottle for around $6 so I went ahead and purchased it. The verdict: it wasn't like Lauren at all but it is still quite lovely. It makes sense they were marketing it as a fun and upbeat fragrance because there certainly is an energetic feel to it. My nose isn't good at picking up individual scents (I think I did pick out jasmine?), but I would describe it as a powdery woody unisex fragrance. It has the infamous FD...

I find myself thinking about this perfume a lot. I've gathered it was very popular in the 80's and was still quite popular when I was a kid in the 90's. My mom didn't actually liked it much (she got it as a gift) although later on, she became a huge Ralph Lauren Romance and Glamorous fan. I do think both of those perfumes smell nice but in my opinion, they don't hold a candle to Lauren . To me, Lauren actually embodies romance and glamour . As a kid, I would always gaze at my mom's vanity, thinking about how elegant the dark burgundy bottle looks and how it smells so "grown up".  Mexican telenovelas were really popular at that time and I remember in María la del Barrio , María (played by Thalía ) detected a different perfume on  Luis Fernando ( Fernando Colunga ). She found the same scent on the new nanny's room ( Penélope Linares played by Ana Patricia Rojo Stein ). I'm pretty sure it was Lauren judging by the shape and colour of the bottl...

Snow White is one of my favorite fairy tale characters. I wonder why no one is making anything about Rose Red (Snow White's sister on an entirely different version of the story) but I'm really excited about the new Disney movie coming out. Honestly, Halle Bailey's Little Mermaid is one of the best Disney adaptations I've seen in YEARS so I have high hopes for Snow White. In the meantime, I'd like to say that the 2001 film version of Snow White will always have a special place in my heart. Not just because I had a huge thing for Kristin Kreuk back then. I even made her photo as my profile pic in a social networking site (I think it was Hi-5 or Friendster). I wasn't trying to catfish anyone but I guess Smallville isn't as popular as I thought because no one clocked it as her. I had hordes of people trying to hit me up loool.  Look at that face card   This movie wasn't as gruesome as how some versions of the story goes but they were really able to...

This is giving me The Sims 1 / TS1 vibes I'll be talking about my comprehensible input journey a bit but if you want to go straight to the series and Youtube channel recommendations, just scroll down.  I have been learning Spanish for 2 years through Memrise and Duolingo and I feel like I've wasted time. When I am on the app, I pick up the right answers but in real life, I can't come up with basic words on my own. Losing streaks on Duolingo and reviews piling up on Memrise was also becoming stressful for me so I have been looking for a "painless" way to learn languages. That's when I came across the Youtube channel ' Dreaming Spanish '. Pablo (he started Dreaming Spanish) is highly discouraging things like looking up words in the dictionary, watching subtitles in your native language and reading in your target language (not until you reach an advanced level).  I wanted to try learning another language from scratch using this approach (I ended up choosi...
