The Life and Times of Moana



The story of Moana and his time on this planet safely inside her blossoms keitai shell. She hatched from her egg on June the 9th (2018). It was a Saturday. (Most of these entries and the pictures will be from my blog you can come here to just read her story it may not be the most updated but do check in as at least once a week her story will be updated here!) 

Moana’s Details
Life stage: Adult
Growth: Hitodetchi - ringotchi - memetchi 
Illnesses: 2 (both as a teen)
Near misses: 0
Care misses: 2-4 (as a teen) 1 (as an adult) 1 (left the light on Oldie)
Death July 30th 

June 9th
I started up my Ketai and saw the memorial of the last tama I ran, Roki an Oldie he died at age 42 (not quite my longest but also not my shortest) I pressed A and C to get a new egg and out came a little girl whom I named Moana. I have quite some history with my Keitai I can see the memorial of Raiden the first and Roki. (I don’t know if I ever used those two death shrines… but I know I used one for Raiden). Like as a baby on the Keitai feels fairly standard and after the usual time elapse she evolved into Hitodetchi she truly is a star in the making.



June 10th - June 13th
For these days I was attending a conference until 11 am on the 13th so needless to say I don’t have much documented on her life. I had attempted to just have her sleep the day away and hang out with me in the evenings, but my days went from 6 am is to at least 10 pm… so needless to say things did not go according to plan. So, I don’t know how many care misses she had obtained but I do know both meters emptied once a day (not the 13th) and she got sick twice (I think she evolved on the 12th so I think that’s why). She did evolve into ringotchi on the 10th no idea what time but I was pleased to see a cute little apple for the sparse times I got to enjoy her as a teen. Sometime on the 12th she evolved into an adult much to my surprise memetchi.

And that leaves us with the 13th where am a functional zombie where I get to watch Moana and watch Moana dance along (memetchis character specific item is the hula skirt).

June 14th
Today I am not feeling so great but so far Moana has been just fine chilling in my pocket while I work. And I thought since she has saved herself a decent about of gotchi points and the traveling salesman always seems to offer something that she already has, so we did some online shopping. She went through the online catalogue with me, limited by her pocket change as well as what she already has. We found some yummy ume and she said it is high time that she has that, so we bought it and with immediate and free delivery it was added to her meals. And I have never seen her so excited to eat something in her life (well except when she is starving). It's a real shame that I have been a good human being today and have kept her well-fed.

Finally! She had room in her stomach to try her fresh ume and.... she didn't like it at all! It was the most anti-climactic reaction ever! I guess we won't be feeding her any more of that any time soon!

June 15th
Today she is age 7 and as sassy as you can imagine her to be. She loves to dance with the water and the waves, she dreams of sailing off past the reef and being a voyager. She is also well on her way of becoming a master way finder, and yes I did watch the movie recently and yes I do love it and yes that is how she got her name. Today she is dancing and just enjoying being an adult, for on the Keitai she can now have sake. Like with humans it makes tamagotchis tipsy and dizzy if they have too much!
I don't know if I want post now (as I am typing this) or later in the day just in case something happens.... but so far, I type and post whenever I seem to the time and want to...)

June 16th
And aside from that, Moana has been hula dancing and regretting her choices of drinking nothing but sake all night long (she is a grown up and had to learn the grown-up lesson). She is age 8 today and yes, the match maker has started to come around and so far I have not accepted any husband that she has brought out. I don't know if I will or not.

June 17th
Moana is at the ripe age of  9 and she still has the match maker coming around and she did bring us a kuchipatchi and sure I was very tempted to agree to that.... but, I just didn't feel like it. I truly think that I am going to attempt an Oldie hatch with Moana. I have always done boys and I did one girl on my Akai, so I feel like it just might be the time for an oldie hatch with a girl on my keitai! So small age goals... I aim to get her to age 10! Can I do it? I think the odds are very much in my favour.

June 18-19th 
This was the Monday that puts all other Mondays to shame. It was so Monday even Tuesday had the Monday after taste. I don't have much to share as nothing all that exciting has happened.
On this, the most Monday of Mondays Moana had a care miss that I am not proud of it. She went to bed with nearly empty meters the night before so that when she woke up and I didn't check on her right away... well her happy meter ended and I didn't check on her until her attention icon was off... so that gives me one care miss to add to my list. Her first as an adult (she was age 10 when this happened and still a memetchi when she evolves you will hear all about it).

And Moana is age 11 and she should be evolving into an old lady soon and I just might log her in the Long live Oldies hatch on tamatalk that is still going on (who would have thought that since Raiden the first the hatch has still been going on).

June 20th
That's right Moana has evolved into a tiny little granny and I love it! I just need to get used to her waking up earlier and going to bed earlier than I am used to and I think Moana will have her very own time zone (how else will I manage a 7 am wake up time).
And she is age 12 today. Lets see if I can get her to age 15. Will she reach age 15? I think the Odds are very much in her favour so far.
And here is her first glamour shot, she does have a remarkable likeness of Ms. Busybody (the matchmaker). Fun fact, Ms. Busybody used to freak me out when I was younger.

June 21st
I forgot about the lights! Last night. And I am pretty sure the lights count as a care miss so.... I feel dumb. And now onto to today the more current events! Moana is now 13 years old and she has had one good day of bouncing around her tamagotchi home. I feel like garbage....


June 22-24th
I have been suffering from a severe sinus headache a fact my cat can't seem to understand. And now we have Moana my amazing rock star. Aside from the light switch incident that we know all about she has been a champ. She lets me nap. And she hasn't had a care miss or what I call a near miss. Her meters only went down to a single heart once. And every once in a while she makes herself dizzy to make me smile and distract me from my jerk of a cat.


June 25th
So Moana has been my rock and she is as steady as the ocean winds. She needs for nothing and wants for nothing. Today she is 17 years old. Three years shy of being 20. I celebrate the milestones. Every 5 years, as 5 day intervals is a whole lot easier to digest than a very large number like 100 and this way I get lots more to celebrate. So come the day she turns 20 we will have some pictures! Age and Moana and that's about it I think.  But I would like to see more pictures.



June 26th
That's right Moana is a light weight but that is nothing to be ashamed of. She is also 18 today which means we have 2 more days until I get to celebrate. I have a feeling that the Odds are in my favour. I love how there is sake on the ketai it adds some grown up realism to my granny who lives on my pocket. Don't worry she didn't let the Famitama kids see her get all wibbly wobbly.

June 27th
Moana is 19 years old today that's right one more day until she is 20 years old. So stay tuned for that celebration. She has had a low key day hanging out in my pocket mostly just doing her old lady thing. In my defence today I was a whiny complaining human... but yes I am seeing that my log game is a little off lately.

June 28th
Moana is age 20 and she survived her very first shopping trip where I have a long ass walk there go shopping and a long ass walk back carrying all the food.  I alas do not have pictures because she is doing the most old lady thing ever on such a day... she went to bed early. I can say a lot about my granny, but a party animal she is not.

June 29- 30th
Today Moana is 22 years old and she is apprehensive at best about the little bug. Yesterday she was 21 and since we forgot her celebration of reaching 20 she played with her trumpet. So she can toot her own horn about how awesome it is that she had become 2 decades old! In three days she will be a quarter of a century. She will be 25! I say will with a sense of optimism. I have always been an optimist.

July 1st
Well Moana is age 23 today and she is living it up the best she knows how, studying natural selection and heredity with me of course what else would she be doing besides reading a book that covers the core dogma of natural selection and heredity the very basis that the entire study of genetics is based on. I should make a comment about something very big that had happened on this day in 1858, Darwin and Wallace presented their work on natural selection to the Linnean Society in London. And I like to think that Darwin would at least be tickled pink that now all this time later people are still reading his ideas, and even more amazing he was correct on even what he wasn't sure about. He just didn't know the knowledge to support himself. And yes I know it's Canada and yay a group of people decided today to sign a paper agreeing to make Canada a country is awesome, but not changing the face of biology, being the stepping stones of two major biological disciplines while having influence on countless others amazing.  I still love Canada mac and cheese and maple syrup (god that stuff is soo pricy... its just reduced tree juice), but I love science more.

July 2nd
Moana is 24 today and she and I decided that since I was on a Magnesium down swing and today was the first day I felt some what less awful that we would spend the day finishing my book on natural selection and I am so inclined make it a writing day for my proposal or all steams ahead for tomorrow being a writing day. Also we have been playing Persona Q and we just finished the group date labyrinth I may have played more just to beat the boss, but boss battle so worth it. Happy day off since yesterday was a national Holiday (not Darwin day... Canada day)! 

July 3rd
Moana is 25 years old! That's right my old lady is quarter of a century years old. And she is my old lady in my pocket and my time with her has taught me one thing, I lead the life of an old lady! Okay I am in Grad school and I study constantly and work constantly and to relax I don't want to go out I want to stay at the place that I pay to be there. So yes I stay in a lot and play video games and write and do things that bring me joy without spending too much money (or doing things while I can be in my PJs and my bed). And there is one thing Moana and I will never have in common her sleeping schedule I am not someone who sleeps early and wakes up early and I really don't want to be.

July 4-5th
Moana is still with us at the age of 27 today! She has been sitting in my pocket being very much her quiet old lady self. I myself haven't been feeling that great but at least I have Moana to keep my company.

July 6- 7th
Moana is now 29 years old and she is loving her life so far and I have to say I am so very much excited that my best friend will be visiting me for my birthday at the end if this month. And! I have some other big news I have something sorta big in the works. I am toying with the idea of recording video games for youtube or streaming! So be prepared for a gaming lady octopus. And since this is supposed to be about Moana she is right there helping me with the lighting and all the jiggery pokery that I need to do. I need one logo, some artwork that I am working on as we speak and we are talking about it and I am waiting for one cord to come in the mail.

July 8-9th
Moana is now age 31 years old and she is at the age that my last old lady perished (minishimu) so I am breaking my old lady record! Moana is smashing records with her awesome name and her awesome keitai shell design and her ability to make me smile. She is going to work with me today to sit in my bag while I try to work.

July 10th
Moana is 32 years old today and I just had a look at the list of ages that I have written out from reading oldie hatches and she has 2 death ages, and 1 short age goal (my goal) to surpass before she is 40 years old. And I know that is only 8 days and that is one day more than a week and a week doesn't always feel like a long time until it is. Sometimes a month ticks by faster than you can imagine and others they slog along like King Robert Baratheon's really slow and long trip that he took to go from Kings landing up to Winterfell to make his best friend be his hand.

July 11-12th
Moana is 33 today and this was the age at which an oldie in the other really long lived and highly impressive long live oldies hatch, and if Moana lives past today she will break that record so needless to day this is also a milestone that we are passing. And 2 more days until she is 35 and I have to say the odds are very much in her favour that she will live until then and I might be presumptuous in saying that she will live past that! And then just like that she was 34 and I really do think that 35 is well within our reach and I am going to say 40 is a reasonable age goal too.

July 13th
Today Moana is 35 years old and I have a picture of my old lady and her age. so Yay! Today was a Friday and an alright day we studied some molluscs as... I was not very productive with editing but I did get to study and I did work on the plot of the game that I do one day plan to make and I sorted out some rough ideas of future plot which means I don't have to stare and think what the hell am I gonna do now? Or where do I go from here. So I was sort of productive just in the way I would have liked to be. And before she went to bed I was talking with a cute girl. So there is that too. All in all it was a good day.


July 14th
Moana is 36 years old today and I studied the group of organisms that is the most abundant of the multicellular organisms arthopods, thats right spiders and insects and crustaceans, isopods, and trilobites galour. They are just plain unnatural they wear their bones on the outside and they are small and the crunch and ick. I am not an arthropod person, they have lots of appendages, some are fuzzy others are not, they move fast, they have pincers, and some have just way to many moving parts. Just too many. Moana agrees with me and we are happy to announce that my V2 is back and so is my Ps.

July 15-16th
Moana is 38 years old and she has passed all of the death ages in the 30's and 2 more days until she's 40 years old! I can't wait for her to be 40. She had an uneventful day as being 37 an age we are very glad she can surpass. This was an age at which a fellow oldie died. So any milestone to pass is worthy of celebration as if raising an Oldie and doing an oldie hatch is so much harder than seeing how many generations you can go (as every generation you get a refresh on care misses and such).

July 17th
One more day until she is 40, and today it is hot as balls outside so hot I think I am going to melt. And she is really regretting her old age as now her wrinkles are tiny pools of salt containing sweat. No matter what she does the pools remain everywhere. Every once in a while a pool will become over flowing and a giant glob of sweat trickles down to ground marking that she once stood there. Today we camp out in front of the fan and wish for winter, but if there is one truth in this world it is winter is coming and it can't get here soon enough. (I really need to read those books again or watch the show again).

July 18th
Today Moana is 40! She did it! And our next record to beat is Roki he perished due to neglect. He was the last oldie I had on my Keitai and he was.... well he started to get neglected and well eventually it took a toll on him. I think it was my teaching schedule. Or I went out of town or something like that. Well anyways! She is 40 and we are gonna celebrate the only way we know how, studying general zoology and she will have a little too much sake and confuse her cephalopods for the decapods and don't get her started on her round worms, flat worms and segmented worms and hagfish! And to celebrate I have classic mamaetchi on my V2 and we all know how much I love classic mametchi.

July 19th
Moana is 41 years old today and she is having a very good day, it is a Thursday and I was productive and she didn't have any care misses or near misses. And we are very excited for my best friend to arrive! And today I have been thinking about a previous story that I have written previously and it felt good to get back to it. All in all this was a very good day.

July 20-21st
And here we are Saturday, the saturday were we studied, and I played pokemon and worked on my previous story and it felt great to not be stressing myself out about my research program. We are growing a gastrointestinal parasite and soon enough I will be about to work with it and bam I will be on the road to results. Also Moana is 43 years old and she is 2 days away from being 45!

July 22th
Happy Sunday the day that I get very very excited about this week, my best friend is coming to visit this week! And Moana is 44 years old one more day until she's 45 and the odds are very good that she will survive until at least tomorrow. Also we have added a trip to the Zoo!

July 23th
Today Moana is 45 years old today and she is going steady. We worked on my proposal and worked on some writing and we even did some science. And here a picture of her worrying about her weight and going for a run. She didn't win that race but that's okay. What matters is that she tried.

July 24th-30th
Well Moana and I had a few busy days. First my best friend arrived the 27th (ish I am a little vague on the date) and she hung out for a 2 days before we went to the Calgary Zoo then to West Edmonton mall. Moana unfortunately did not enjoy the roller coasters and the amusement park rides.... as she was locked in a locker. And well things snowballed and she passed away.  She was either 50 or 52 or somewhere in between it is sad, but she had a really good final day (the zoo) so I can't be too mad or sad.

Day 28

Felix the bug passed away last night he was I am going to assume age 8 my care of him did decrease over time so I can't really get too u...
