It's Saturday and I am supposed to stay at my boarding house to do some laundry, however, I still need to finish my report from the Annual Evaluation and Planning Conference which is due on Monday. I arrived at school more or less 1PM since I have my toe nails pedicured before going to school. It is always my habit to check mails from my Yahoo inbox and what caught my attention was the special delivery from Zynga for my Cafe World. I opened it and was delighted with what I got... And do you know what happened next? I realized later that I was glued to Cafe World waiting for my 15-minute Ranch Beans menu to cook! Wow! Indeed, I accomplished nothing as of this moment. Ate Rhea was right, she opted not to play nor open her facebook account since it will just consume all her time. I played lots of games from Yahoo but it is only Cafe World that I truly enjoyed the most. I am still at Level 50 and I am working too hard (lol) to get to a hundred level. A certified Cafe World addict?
