Today's question by @motivationMY is:
"What is (are) your simple pleasure(s)?"
I thought about this for quite a bit. There are different kinds of "pleasure". I can sorta give my own definition of simple pleasures! There are simply too many for me to name but be patient! I really wish I could have all this at one go. Sigh. *dozes off into daydream land*
Food:
I believe my simple pleasures in terms of food are, anything cold/ice-blended from Starbucks, ice-cream/froyo, mash potatoes, Mcdonald's French Fries (drowned in salt and chili sauce), cheesecakes, and so much more! In terms of food, it's quite easy to please me. I eat a lot so in terms of food, I'm quite easy to please :)
Activities:
In terms of activities, only limited activities to me are considered "pleasurable" *wink*. For one, I really love dancing! NOT teaching, but dancing for myself. Learning, or even just freestyle, can make me very happy! I also enjoy shopping. Shopping, to me, somehow is very very therapeutic. Ok, the after-effect isn't that good when I've realized how much I have spent when I'm at the counter, but the process of it is just amazing. Sigh. If only money was available in an endless barrel for me to pick up from!!! *dozes off into dreamland... AGAIN!* I miss the times when I could shop and shop and shop. Yes, at one point I could do just that. But then, age sinks in. You'd have to pay for super a lot of bills, and then, support your meal-fetish (yes, I have a fetish for comfort food, which can be expensive!), followed by a lifetime of Starbucks (which is super not cheap!), and just so many more things which I have to pay for. OH.MY.GOSH! It has come to my attention that I have really been spending a lot lately. :P Very very bad! Please do not follow my actions! I'm a well-acclaimed shopaholic! It's very tiring to calculate spendings and stuff, so I would suggest that you get an iPhone, and get a budgeting app. I tried it, and it failed miserably 'cos regardless of the warnings that I was off-budget, I'd still eat and buy my stuff anyway. HAHA! Hmm. What else do I do? I enjoy playing Starcraft2!
I have an entire story about SC2 so please bear with me for a while, aite? :)
Well, I learnt about SC2 when it first came out. My boyfriend's brothers and himself plays a lot of this and they each got a copy of it so that they could play this. So I watched them playing a few games. But I didn't really think about playing it. In fact I actually thought that playing SC2 was taking up a lot of his time. To be honest, initially, I thought it was like Counter Strike (which I despise, to be honest! Don't ask me why, I just do!). But one day, he was taking a shower if I'm not mistaken, and I got really bored, so I took out his laptop, and started fiddling around. Obviously his SC2 was still open, and I clicked the "video" logo, which actually shows replays. So I watched a few of that, and it got me hooked! I was interested as I could read the typed-out conversation happening between him and his alies, while they were fighting with their opponents. It was interesting to see how they could combat the rest. They were using a certain type of army to combat another type of army. SC2 has 3 races which you can play. Terran (human), Zerg (an alien-lifeforce, kinda bacteria-like), and Protoss (an alien-lifeforce, kinda technology type). When I found out all these, my intrigue got the better of me, and when my boyfriend got out of the shower, I asked him if he could teach me how to play. He can play all races, but is more proficient in Terran. So he taught me how to play Terran. Since then, I've been playing Terran.
Unlike others, I learned how to play the game, as a Terran, step-by-step. I played the entire mission, which is a story-like mission and you basically get to learn how to play as Terran and Protoss from there. So I still consider myself a newbie, and I kinda suck because my APM (Action-Per-Minute) is super low, but I'm learning and catching up. I'm currently in the Bronze League, like number 100+++ for 1v1s. I haven't been playing in quite a while and I hope to play more with the boyfriend when he gets back. The reason why I don't play is because your internet has to be super stable when you're playing. For me, the only place where I can get super stable, unlaggy internet is at the studio. Usually, when I'm at the studio, I'm either teaching or dancing. So there really isn't much time for me to play. But thanks to the boyfriend, I've found SOOOOO MANY people I can learn from. I'm crazy over Day9 because he really inspires me as a newbie, and especially Adam and Jeff of LAGtv. Adam (NovaWar) and Jeff (MaximusBlack) are FUNNY as heck! They really make games so much more fun! Although it's meant to be funny (especially their series of When Cheese Fails and Say Cheese with MaximusBlack!), they make certain points of certain mistakes which you will learn to take note of. They are really hilarious and all, but there's always a lesson behind every WCF. You either learn it or you don't. Your choice.
So yeah. That's how I got to love SC2 and regardless of what people say, I'm a girl and I love StarCraft 2 and I'm super proud of it :) So I enjoy watching YouTube videos about StarCraft 2 and playing SC2. I find it quite therapeutic as well. I don't intend to be a pro-gamer, so there's really no stress in me climbing the ladder. My boyfriend, however, has every intention of climbing the ladder and I wish him all the best!
I also enjoy watching YouTube haul videos, or make-up tutorials. I find that relatively therapeutic as well, since I myself make haul videos (speaking of which, find my Diva Haul video as below!)
Quiet Time:
Personally, quiet time (regardless with the boyfriend or not!) is a very rare occasion. Quiet time for me constitutes 2 things.
1. Being with the boyfriend and doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
2. Being alone and doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
I believe those statements hold for themselves :P
Those are my personal simple pleasures :) Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for shameless advertising, please subscribe to my YouTube channel (Link here!!! http://www.youtube.com/user/sherylhosulynn?feature=mhee). Thank you <3
Again, thank you for reading, and taking time out to read my "simple" pleasures which apparently aren't that cheap or simple! I just hope you enjoy! :)
Love, Sheryl1986 <3
