Beach Life Virtual Resort: Spring Break - Opening and Editing The .BLE Game Files

Image
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...

Beauty MNL Mini Haul Part 2

Image
I want to take advantage of Beauty MNL's January sale so I bought additional items. It seems January is a good time to buy stuffs as a lot of retailers go on sale for this month. I still haven't fully opened some of the items, as I wanted to take pics first because I'll just procrastinate and end up not taking pics. BCL Cosmetics Browlash EX Slim Gel Pencil BCL Cosmetics Browlash EX Slim Gel Pencil No special reason in choosing this, I was just looking for an inexpensive pencil liner. It delivers well but I wouldn't use it to line my lower lash as it got smudged right away(didn't really noticed how long, but maybe in less than an hour when I looked at the mirror the line on the ends of the lower lash got smudged). I rarely line my lower lash line so this is not a deal breaker.

Beauty MNL Mini Haul Part 1

Image
I feel awkward using 'haul' (or mini haul in this matter). With online shopping making it even easier for people to buy shit they don't need (and end up broke!), buying stuff is commonplace. However, I am too lazy when it comes to making product reviews so I'm hoping to cram multiple short reviews here (unless the item is super good that it deserves its own post). L-R: Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream, Tony Moly BB Cream, Maybelline Dream Satin Foundation, Bath Junkies Pink Party, Biore Uru Uru Cleanser and Liole Secret Pore Rich Balm Pink Party Love Potion (Cologne by Bath Junkies) Bath Junkies - Pink Party Love Potion Honestly, I just bought it because it was cheap (and the price was even further slashed off because Beauty MNL had a sale). It was too citrus-y for me. Lioele Secret Pore Rich Balm Where have you been all my life? Lioele Secret Pore Rich Balm This is the best one out of everything I've purchased! Never been so happy with a pr...

Gaz Ready to Drink Cocktails in Strawberry Margarita & Green Appletini

Image
I was passing by the liquor section when I chanced upon this. It caught my eye as it looked so out of place, looking like a kid's juice pouch amidst the sea of liquor. Gaz RTD Cocktails Strawberry Margarita Enter Gaz RTD Cocktails in Strawberry Margarita. According to the packaging, it's a mix of strawberry, triple sec, lime and tequila. I also have the other flavor Green Appletini, containing apple honey dew, melon and vodka. I think this is the first time I saw a ready to drink cocktail in a doypack. I thought it would be fun to try this out while working (relax, I work from home) so I opted to drink this for my afternoon pick me up instead of what I usually drink (entirely wholesome like fruit juice or milk).  Gaz RTD Cocktails Green Appletini Well, let's just say I would not drink this for it's taste. The fault probably lies within me. First of all, I don't really drink that much. Despite having a surprisingly high tolerance for alcohol, ...

Kambingan ni Mang Ben

Image
I love Kalderetang Kambing. Every time I visit the province I would really look forward to eating this. When I heard that there was a place serving goat meat near me, I really wanted to go right away. Good thing I had business near the area so I inevitably passed by it earlier today! I almost missed Kambingan ni Mang Ben ; while it had a red awning, signs and everything the place is small and there was a car obstructing the place (although the car went on its way shortly). They have a table inside, but the staff was using it when I got there. They have al fresco seating available, maybe around 2-3 tables. I bought Kaldereta and Sinampalukang Kambing - costing 90 pesos each. They also have pork sisig available, although I'm not sure how much it is as it wasn't indicated on the menu. I love sisig so I didn't asked so I won't be tempted to buy lol My Dad liked the Sinampalukang Kambing a lot. Honestly I haven't tasted Sinampalukang (of any variety) before. I thoug...
