Nintendo DS

I work for Lotus Interworks and part of our business is creating games for our
Publishers. So, normally my coworkers, especially the programmers like Matt are actually gamers. They talk about techi stuff and the latest in the game world. I guess, that was one of the reasons why I got my nephew PSP as a Christmas present last year.

Oh well, working at Lotus for more than a year did not really entice me to get any of these techi game stuff for myself until Matt keeps on playing his DS in front of me. Oh yeah, he plays it even when he watches DVD with me. Talk about multi-tasking... hmmmm... that is not really what I want him to do. I am all for just DVD or just game coz I can't watch two things at the same time and of course, we can't play it together. I play his DS too once in a while particularly the Super Mario game but whenever I do that, he is either at work or just beside me watching how I play. Of course, when he watches me and I get stuck in one stage, I easily give up and just pass the DS to him for him to play it while I watch. So, we can't really do it together. After seeing this happening over and over again, I finally came into a conclusion that I want my own DS. Damn, he was very supportive when I said that. Tonight, he just picked me up from my apartment after our dinner with Rick and Kelly and said that we're headed to Bestbuy to buy the DS and that he will get me one game if I really buy it. Oh wow, what a great deal! So finally, I got my DS.

It is actually fun and very addictive. Wonder why I am still up? Of course, it is because I just stopped playing it. Matt and I even played against each other using both our DS. Of course he won but it was really cool! So cool that we can even send each other messages and drawings. Fun, fun , fun! So, we do not only have 24 to watch together but our Nintento DS to play with. I must say he is the only person who had influenced me to buy my own gaming gadget. I got my new toy and I love it. Sorry EJ but this one is for Tita Nats. :)

After 11 years... It Hit Manila!

Damn, the typhoon Milenyo hit Philippines so bad. Until now, my mom can not call me using a budget card since her home phone line is still no working. It has been two weeks after the big typhoon!

My dad had to ask for all the trees in my brother's backyard to be cut and taken off. What a disaster!

The last time before this one, Manila was hit by a signal number 3 typhoon was at year 1995. I remember, I got stranded in La Salle and spent the night there with some blockmates though my dorm was just a mile away from school. I think classes were suspended for two to three days after that.

(This post was made out of boredom...I went home early today coz I'm feeling sick and now I'm bored... This is the time that I wish I have a family to go home to, huhuhu :( )

24

I know this is so late but I just started watching 24. Matt and I finished the first season around 9:30pm tonight. We started it yesterday morning and we couldn't resist not to finish it so we stayed the whole Sunday in my apartment to watch it.

I can't say that it's really good but I so want to see all the seasons available. I'm not really a Jack Bauer fan (he kinda reminds me of Charlie from Lost, kainis!) or any other fan since there are times that I can't believe how stupid they can be. Oh well but it's really worth watching. Now, I understand why my brother and some friends are so in to this.

Too bad, Matt left the second season copy to burn in his apartment so we couldn't watch it tonight plus we both had to do some work.

I know there are a lot of 24 lovers out there so please don't hate me for this. Like I've said, I still want to watch it and I can't wait to see the second season. I even made Matt to promise me that he won't start it without me, hehehe. Of course, I don't want him to get ahead of me. :)

One Fine Weekend
