Weekend Date~!

The weather out here this weekend was so gorgeous, and I've been enjoying every moment of it! It's usually so cold where we live, so warm days are somewhat of a rarity, and so I thought it would be the perfect for my husband and I to take a trip to the beach! Needless to say, so many other people had the same idea, and it took us awhile to find a parking spot, but in the end, it was all worth it!

Just look at that view! It was so pretty, I practically begged my husband to snap a picture of it just so I could post it here! Lols! I really enjoyed my time there. The whole time we were there, I was busy splashing around in the water (which was pretty cold, but I was able to adjust to the temperature quickly) and  running around having fun like a kid! It was a refreshing change of pace when most of the time I'm just at home cleaning and doing chores. Also, so many dogs ran up to me while I was there. xD It seems like no matter where I go, dogs just make a beeline for me. I really have no idea why, but I really love it! Every time it happens, it just makes me want pet dogs even more!

After the beach, we headed to Taco Bell for some Doritos Locos tacos (which are SO amazing!). We were starving, and it hit the spot just right. ^.^ Then after we finished our meal, I spotted a crepe place called the Monterey Crepe Company, which was right next to Taco Bell. It's funny, the whole time we've lived here and despite how many times we've been down that very street, I've never once noticed it before until then. We decided to take a look inside and it was kind of small, with not very many tables or people inside, but their menu was huge and had quite a selection of sweet and savory crepes(they also had muffins, cookies, sandwiches, coffee, and other beverages for sale). Given my huge sweet tooth, I of course chose something off the "sweet" menu.  I chose one called "Papa Johnny", which contained Nutella, bananas, coconut, and almonds and was topped off with whipped cream and confectioners sugar. I wasn't too sure how those ingredients would taste blended together at first, but once I had my first bite, I definitely did not regret my decision!

Doesn't it look delicious? Looking at it makes me want another one~! Too bad I have to be good until next weekend! Lols!

It really is a shame that the weekend is now coming to an end. It just seems like it passed by so quickly, but I suppose that's what happens when you're having fun with the one you love. :3

Otome Games!

I'll admit it... I'm kind of obsessed with otome games right now~! x3 Amazingly, there are a ton of free ones that can be found online and are free to download! The only thing is that most of the free ones don't have such great artwork, and I'm extremely picky about that (I need my games to be visually appealing). TT_TT Luckily, I've come across this really fun and addicting one that's playable online called Star Project! :D

In Star Project, you play as a talent agent and your objective is to make your client rise to fame, and to also fall in love. :3 You can unlock different events, raise your client's skills through playing mini games (which are really simple, but at the same time entertaining), do part time jobs, go on dates, dress up your client (though, some of the clothes require you to pay in gold, which you have to purchase or do free offers for in order to obtain), and take on jobs that you can earn "stars" from.  ^_^ You can also eventually sign contracts with more than one client. From what I've heard, new clients come in every couple of months.

Star Project has to be one of the best free otome games I've played (and am still currently playing) since RE: Alistair++. The art is really pretty and well-done, the backgrounds are nice to look at and are colorful, and the music is pleasant, ranging from happy and upbeat tunes to soft and soothing ones. Some things I don't really like is that the "chit chat" option doesn't do much. None of the characters say anything interesting, which is a bummer since I think it would have been cool to get to know the instructors and other people better and give them more depth, in my opinion. Also, I don't like that your energy gets drained so quickly, giving you only a few minutes to play without having to purchase an energy drink or waiting until the next day. That's pretty standard for many online games and all, but it doesn't mean I have to like it! Lols! I also noticed that there are a few grammar/spelling errors here and throughout the game, but it's not something that really bothers me much.  Overall, it's definitely worth playing and I would recommend others to try it out!

Here's some screen shots of the game that I took:
