Hello ladies,

Happy Weekend 🌴

I just saw there is a contest in LOH (Ladies of Hive) but sadly, I don't think I'll join this time because the due date is tomorrow. Next time, I will keep an eye on those creative contests. Today, I am going to share my weekly recap of my week. As per title suggest, those are the highlight of my week.

Let's start with...

Gaming

I spent this week trying to ace all the quests in Dead Maze, a 2D MMORPG game by Atalier. I even recorded a small portion of it while giving some short commentaries here and there, Let's Play Dead Maze Basic Walkthrough #1. I enjoyed playing this game but unfortunately, it won't be available on browser anymore and flash will stop operating across browsers. So, whilst on procrastination mode, I played this game day and night. All I could think about was this game and nothing else this week. And that leads to the second topic.

Battling Addiction

I am prone to addiction. I love anything that gives me dopamine rush.So, it has been hard trying to steer away from sugar, from games, from food. But I am trying my best through my weekly intermittent fasting journey which I always recap every Thursday unless something comes up. I have managed to get into the 7th week and I am quite proud of myself because it is the first of many challenges that I am able to stick doing. Speaking of which, I also encourage you to join the #bloggingchallenge which was started by cwow2 then I carried the torch and now, it's almost everywhere. I have reached the 22nd day Day 22 : 3 Personalities you are proud of , So, if ever you need an inspiration to blog, running out of ideas just answer some of these questions. I promise, they are fun.

Now... on to the most important stuff.

Book Club

So, I just launched Hive book club that aims to connect readers and potential readers to share and discuss all things book. Share Your Passion For Reading via Hive Book Club. As quoted from that announcement,

Anyone is free to share their book reviews, their book collection,or anything about books. We welcome any post and reviews in any languages as long as it is plagiarism free and is result of your own reviews and thoughts.

If any of you is interested in subscribing, please feel free to do so. We would love to have more passionate readers joining the community.

Revelation and the Challenge

What do you mean? well.. deep down I always thought I was a minimalist spender, it turns out I was not. I am a huge spender and my financial life was not under control. I developed a lot of habits which I previously didn't even have. So, I wrote this as a call to action to change it. Can you survive on a college budget? and the report is this Spending on a college budget day 1 : Shopping Time. I will be updating almost daily if not, when I make purchases. It has been interesting and quite eye-opening as I had another small conversation with one of my housemate. I will be detailing this one in the next post.

That was how I spent my week. Time went by and I realized now we're almost reaching the end of the year. I feel as though these days time are faster and so much surprising events happening around me and my family. I only wish to have more strength in the coming days and more energy to get through it all. Have an awesome weekend ladies! Mac
