Almost made it

Almost made it till the end of the year without falling ill…but alas it was not meant to be.

I think I caught a nasty flu bug from work..just wish that anyone who is sick would just stay home. -_-

Other than that I took 1500 pics from Korea and I’m feeling mega lazy to sort them out (as usual).

UARGHHHHHHH!

Bye.

Battlefield 3

The open beta for Battlefield 3 is out and available (on all platforms) for about a week. There are some things I’m not happy with but it is a beta and I’m really enjoying it.

November is gonna be a busy month. :)

Pretty cool

I never knew what the big fuss was with nerf guns…thought it was like any other toy gun I had when I was younger. A few days ago, I was with my colleagues at Toys R Us (no it’s not like that’s our regular hang out spot, someone needed to buy a present for a 2 year old) and a colleague was looking at nerf guns. He then told me how he had a few, how he liked modding them and stuff…and that he wanted to get the new type which shoots discs. Since his birthday was coming up, I thought: why not? So I stayed behind and bought it for him. Turns out that nerf guns are actually pretty cool:

There was a lot of nerfing in the office that day. Awesome.

Cause I can’t fight this feeling anymore

I’ve never thought of buying an iPad before cause I didn’t think I would have any use for it…but I do now. So I was debating if I should wait for about half a year for the new one to come out…and knowing me when I wait for something I think about it obsessively. Then I thought: I can get the current iPad now and sell it for a good price if I want to get the iPad 3. Seriously, I think I can get like 2/3 of the price back. (seriously)

Btw, this post was written using the WordPress iPad app and it’s annoying the bejesus out of me. It’s taken me like 20 mins. And I really need to start earning more. -_-

I’m going to do it..

Cause I can’t fight this feeling anymore.
I’ve forgotten what I started fighting for.
And if I have to crawl upon the floor,
Come crushing through your door,
Baby, I can’t fight this feeling anymore.

Erawan

Went to a Thai restaurant a few days ago which turned out to be quite a unique experience. The place ain’t posh nor is it fine dining but you have to book a place beforehand as walk-ins aren’t allowed. Not only that, you have to order your food in advance as there is only one chef cooking all the food. Personally, I found that a little pretentious…we wanted to order an extra fried rice as someone couldn’t really eat spicy food and they told us “no” in a not so nice way. So poor said person had to eat bits from here and there. I mean it’s just fried rice! Geez louise…

Anyways, here are the pics:

(moar….)

Newest addition to the fam

Dad had been looking to replace our old 63″ non-HDTV for some time now but there was never that moment when it felt right to take the plunge. Until one day, after we went to the doctor (cause I had itchy, swollen ears but that’s not important), we had some lunch then dad said, “lets look at the TVs”. So off we went and upon talking to the salesperson, we found out that they were selling a Sharp 60″ LED 3D HDTV for half price.

Wait, let me repeat that: Half price.

………

After my eyes finished growing 3 times bigger and my jaw hit the ground, I think we both registered that this is an AMAZING deal. An average 60″ LED TV costs about £4000 and above…half price is a lot of money saved. Of course, the first thing that crossed our minds was: is there something wrong with this TV? I whipped out my phone and started searching for reviews on google…nothing wrong with it at all. So this is it, this is the right time! May I add that the half price includes a free blu-ray player, 3 3D glasses AND a 5 year extended warranty. If this ain’t a deal I don’t know what is.

After (chair for comparison purposes):

If you squint you can see my gaming consoles..I have officially moved shop. :)

Hell yeah.

And to think that if my ears hadn’t acted up and I never saw the doctor, we might have never entered the TV shop that fine day…

Fajitas

When I was pequena, mi madre would always make homemade fajitas for me and my ocho siblings. So as I was feeling a little homesick, I decided to whip out the ol’ apron to make some homemade fajitas of my own. In the past, if I wanted fajitas I would have just bought an Old El Paso box and used their packet seasoning…..but now, I wanted to do it all el naturale.

Homemade guacamole:

Memoories

Am cleaning my room (really) and decided that it’s time for me to let my CD collection go. Before we part, I’m ripping every CD onto my comp and took a few pictures to remind myself of all my primary/high school days that I spent listening to these CDs:

Farewell old friends…

It’s that time again

Here’s the Japanese version of Uncharted 3′s trailer:

So much lolz..especially the ending: OOOOOIOIOIOIOI!

HAHA!
