Game on – DS Lite.

November 23rd, 2008

Finally playing Ninja Gaiden. On my new NDS! Meet Daphne:

Chose classic black. So far, as I said, playing Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, and loving it. The game came with its own ninja sword-stylus.

Also have Nintendogs. Love that there is a mic (that tiny slit in the center) that can also be embedded in game play. I get to interact with my pet dog in Nintendogs using the mic. Was also surprised how I had to use the mic for one scene in Ninja Gaiden to wake up a sleeping character. How awesome is that?

The perks of being part of PinoyCSers. :rock:

There will more Filipino talents that will be going here in Singapore to perform. Looking forward to all of ‘em and continue to shoot with the guys.

So it goes, I had to get a new mobile computer much earlier than expected this year. Recently, Ajay acquired Zeus, now meet Aphrodite:

She’s a MacBook. Not as powerful as Zeus, but a goddess nonetheless. I am surprised by how smooth and sleek working on a MacBook is. The MacBook Air was a disappointment when I tried it out. The iMac was very impressive, and so was the MacBook Pro. I didn’t test out the MacBook before. But using it now for the past day I can say, it’s more than I expected.

This was her still boxed up at the Apple Store in George St:

A peek at George St from inside the store:

So far so good. Didn’t realise how easy it is to get used to the OSX after years with Windows. Might have been the use of Linux through the years now as well.

Also can’t help feeling like a new hatchling into the world of Apple though. The iPod and iPhone finally have a compatible machine with them. They sync flawlessly and effortlessly.

The Apple  pleeps in plurk have been very warm in their welcome to the cult. Thank you! The geek in me never thought to open the box which had the Leopard DVD, where I could get some optional apps on board. But it’s all good now with most that I need for uni work.

Love for the goddess, the goddess of love. :D

Halloween BBQ Party

November 4th, 2008

…na wala naman nagdala ng i-BBQ namin at wala rin nag-Halloween costume. Buti na lang marami nagdala ng pagkain.

Naki-amoy lang kami sa usok galing sa kabilang BBQ pit. Kasama ko nag-BBQ ang mga kasilip ko sa PinoyCSers. Si Donato nakapunta rin.

AJ & Don

Sayang umuwi ng maaga si Don. Di nakapag-takehome ng mga natirang pansit. Ako naman napanis yung isang tray ng pansit na inuwi ko. Sayang. Dami pa naman nun. :(

Sa amin ginanap yung BBQ-han. Wala na akong dinala sa potluck kasi sinagot ko na yung renta ng BBQ pit.
