Ever since I got my new laptop, I can play Pet Society, Restaurant City, Farmville and Bejeweled again.  (bad laptop!)  hahaha!  Oh well.  I’m just glad that I don’t have the same access as I have here at home as in the office or else my productivity will really go down.  If only I can say the same here at home.  I really should give up some of them already as it’s not healthy to have a lot. 

Let’s see how do I go about playing all of those games:

• Restaurant City  -  I usually login once a day to get the free ingredient and answer the trivia game.  If I’m planting something, I usually water them before and after work.
• Sorority Life – Once a day is enough for this usually before bed time to avail of the free item as well as socialize.  My level is so high that it takes a long time to get your energy up. 
• Bejeweled – Twice a week.  This is a filler game but once I’m playing it I can’t seem to stop myself as I want to beat the person on top of my list.

• Pet Society – Twice a day.  Once in the morning before going to work to visit all the active players and after work to visit the others in the list.  I usually just stop when I run out of money buying those gold mystery boxes. 
• Farmville – I usually try to login every other day just to harvest my animals and trees.  I don’t plant anymore as they usually wither.  Hehehe.  Also, the loading time is long.
• Mafia Wars – Once a day is ok but if I have time at the office, I usually try to play it.  I see to a point though to level at least twice in a day.  hehehe…
• Barn Buddy – Once a day as well just to harvest and plant
• Cafe World – I’m trying to sync the time when the food will finish cooking to before bedtime so that I don’t need to login before going to work.  So far, it’s doing ok.  Once a day is fine.
• Treasure Mania – I like searching for treasures and usually do this twice a day.  The only bad thing about this is when you level up you only get 1 hp.     The beta version is also much tougher than the preview version.  I need more friends for this!! 
• Castle Age – I normally don’t play this unless I have my own boss I need to kill.  I usually just assist in fights of other players. 

Phew!  That’s a lot!  I really should trim down the numbers.  Which one should I let go??  Barn buddy is a possibility as well as Cafe World.. hehehe..   I need help!!  Let me know which one to let go.

I never thought I’ll get addicted playing this game on Facebook as I never was that much of a Facebook user.  However, recently, facebook games seems to dominate my time. 

In any case, Bejeweled in Facebook has a time limit of 1 minute.  The goal is to score as much points within a minute.  You compete against your friends for the top position.  For Facebook users in the US, Canada and UK, they have a weekly tournament wherein your team score will make you eligible to win some prizes from Popcap. 

In the beginning, I really tried to score higher than the highest scorer in my group.  I believe at that time it was Luca.  I think I slept around 2am just trying to pass his score.  When I bypassed his score, my next goal was to outscore myself.  I remember getting more than 200,000 at one point but then after a few days, all my hard work was gone as they reset the tournament and everybody’s score is back to zero.

Now, I’m not as much of an addict  anymore but I still try to outscore the highest scorer.  Also, I can control myself not to over do it.  My belief is, after a week, that score will be gone again.  Hopefully, they will have like an all-time high score and the weekly score.  At least, those with an all-time high scores will be recognized. 

I have a friend who swore that she don’t play games but I got her hooked with this.  She looks forward to the new tournament and savors being on top even for a few hours.  Hahaha!

Verdict:  4 out of 5 stars.   It keeps you wanting for more!
