For someone who's been a long-time user, here are nine ways bitLanders has changed YOUR life. You may not have experienced all of them but has any of them ever occurred to you?:
1. "Time for bitLanders again!"

You know you have that certain hour of the day when you try to start your daily duty on bitLanders. And you've always been doing it everyday like nearly non-stop, routinal, and habitual to the point that it has become a part of your system. With the same time when you always come to it, sometimes you get bored so you try to adjust some changes like logging in three hours early before the time or three hours late from the usual time. Still the point is you are logging in everyday which stresses out that it is still inclining to a part of you. You keep doing it everyday until you get used to it and start asking yourself if you could ever live without bitLanders. Maybe the answer will be no (you can't) especially when you're finally earning something big! BitLanders is good for keeps and you tell it to yourself.
In the Philippines, the daily quests come at 12 noon everyday so if you're a Filipino, you sometimes get confused whether to eat lunch or do the quests first. Sometimes, you eat lunch at around 11:30 am or any time earlier than 12 noon to be able to prepare for it or you just eat after doing them. And sometimes, you even eat while doing so on your phone! Funny but even I do that sometimes (That's true). You're already delayed from doing these quests on time so why not do them while eating? You've become more clever with time and Lunch time has more value now. :D
2. "Heart says, 'Tug-dug. Tug-dug. Tug-dug. tug-dug'."

Every 9 pm (in the Philippines, or any other equivalent time for other countries) or any time earlier than that, you sometimes get a little bit skittish before your treasure box finally reappears. How much will you get for tonight? And what will happen to your buzz score? Will it decline or increase? What will you feel if it decreases? Maybe you have just been preparing yourself for the worst thing that could possible come up. Well you hope it won't but you can't help but to think about it. You will know the answer in a few minutes, soon.
3. "Why buzz score down? Whyyyyyyyyy??????"

Now I'm sure every user has experienced this kind of statement. Every 9 pm in the Philippines (and other equivalent time in other countries), that precious box appears in front of you. Another night comes and so the box reappears and you open it. The next thing you know, is a catastophe. What in the world? Why did it all boil down into this my darling? What did you do wrong? I DON'T KNOW. Get over it.
Now in some cases, you might still want to go drama over it. So when you go get some drama crying or doing that sad face of yours in front of the monitor sitting, your family member or friend will see you and say, "Are you OK?", "What's wrong?", "Why are you crying? Are you crazy?". And then you try to compose yourself again because you don't want to look like you just came from a mental hospital. It's just that you're having a bad news. BitLanders has changed some of your night patterns but you have no other choice but to move on.
4. '"OMG! He/she went down too!"

Our number 2 is not yet finally done. When you find out that your buzz score went down, admit it but sometimes you check your friend's buzz score if he went down too (What is this? One team, one goal?). No, seriously, falling buzz score is like tiny needles getting stabbed in your heart so as a result, you try to mend the pain by looking at his buzz score then you feel relieved because everyone's did as well. You're lucky if your friend's did too, but if it didn't, well that's not my fault anymore. BitLanders taught you how to handle rejections. The feeling is a bit like breaking up with your girlfriend or boyfriend but you have no other choice but to move on, again. Endure the pain and move on you poor soul!
5. "That feels like going through the hole of a needle!"

You thought that your buzz score's slowing down before opening the box but unexpectedly, what happened was the opposite! Crazy! You're very happy because you succeeded. And now another day comes. You have to prove yourself again but you've become more positive now that you're finally energized. Yeah do it boy!
6. "Hey, I've become a blogger. Any violent reactions?"

If you're a natural blogger, chances are this platform was meant for you. However, if you were born with love for other things, then you've just learned how to blog! Day by day, you slowly become good at it till you begin to love it! And you just realized that blogging isn't that difficult at all. You just need to talk about the things arousing your interest and "KABOOM", you have 1,000 word blog in a day. You never thought that you could actually write one but you just did. And in the long run, 1,000 words become too easy and ordinary. You've become more confident in it now that you've made a lot. That's so sweet!
7. "Time is running! 'Why you no wifi?' Get lost!", "GRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHH!"

Apparently, when you're working online, you realize the value of time. Any delays or disruptions with the connection will surely burst you into smoking heat. It's so irritating for the reason that it's about money but things, instances, and people interrupting your particularly weak connection come up so consequently, you like to hit your desk so hard because you're losing patience. And not only that. You don't like to be interrupted but someone just comes up from out of nowhere in rare cases and asks you things or asks you to do other things so you end up reaching up to your boiling point, if that's not too exaggerated.
8. "Thanks bitLanders, my catcher and savior."
