If you have been alive during the 1990s, you will know what I will be talking about for SURE. Even if you never had one, you probably would have seen others play with them.
The.. Tamagotchis =_=...
It was a big hit internationally, especially in Asia, North America and England. Among elementary and middle school students, every student had at least one, regardless of their gender and grades, until the early 2000s. I bought tamagotchis, digimons, and .. other virtual pets and ended up with MANY virtual pets. But I just COULD NOT REMEMBER WHERE I PUT THEM! I think I threw them out without thinking about how much I would love to play them again later. Their prices went up really high and they are pretty rare/hard to find in Canada, as most tamagotchis were/are produced in Japan.
Even though I loved all virtual pets, I especially love Bandai's Tamagotchis .. They are the BEST! - The characters and shell designs are cute, and there are so many different versions/generations that you can get. My obsession to collect and play all kinds of tamagotchis resurfaced when I was web-surfing + preparing for my midterms. Then, when I saw how I have been missing on so many different versions of tamagotchis, I could not sleep -_-.. I had dreams of tamagotchi and that tamagotchi song I heard on youtube (I'll try to post the link lol.. it's SO addicting)... it was playing in my head as a BGM for quite awhile..
until my sister went ..: "I think I have one"
I was like ....................... 0_0? ........... What? ...... Come again???..............0_0?
AND YES! SHE ACTUALLY HAD A V2 ENG VERSION TAMAGOTCHI WITH HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Halellujah!! I don't think I never had such a moment of excitement that lasted the whole day.... -_-;;; I was feeling sad because my family members and others might think I am being really childish and stupid for wasting so much money on collecting and playing tamagotchis and other virtual pets, but you know what I THINK ?! .. -_-
EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING THEY LOVE/LIKE THAT IS UNIQUE
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW OLD YOU ARE, AND WHAT YOU DO FOR LIVING, AS LONG AS IT WILL GIVE YOU A BIT OF HAPPINESS YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE.
My obsession might be a short one/ long one, I dont know how long it will last, but I can tell you that by sharing information about tamagotchis I gathered, I want others to be able to find something they like/enjoy, something that will make them happy, and stay happy.
P.S. If anyone have tamagotchis they would like to donate.. I would love to have them;; lol especially if they are in a really good condition and are in my 'wish list' =P
