games and game design

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

Lets talk about something fun! On my previous entries, my life is all about how to make my plans, business and basically how to make my life wealthy. I need to have some fun and that was until my friend sent a game to me. I was playing this game online that composes of 3D activities and some action in it, that’s the only thing I did the whole day and it was forwarded by my friend Andi. (Hi Andi!) To my surprise, I didn’t know that she was the one who programmed the game design that I was actually playing. Fantastic! She just mentioned it to me after like maybe 2 hours I was playing this game online. She told me how hard it was to learn the first time, but if you have the passion for game designs, the learning curve won’t really take that long. She also mentioned to me that t is a good source of income for her too. DOLLAR SIGN ON MY EYES! Its money again! But no, ill leave that too her, game design programs is not really my line but it is really interesting if you just give more time into it, and that’s exactly what I lack. I’m just so happy that she came up with such game that ate my whole time yesterday. She is taking up a course for this field that’s why I barely spot her in the city. Good luck Andi and I know that you will succeed in this field.

study vs work

When I get back from Caso, I have to get back to the real world and compensate myself. I need this big break after a job selling merchandise online and a regular job in the city for my vacation and to pay for my debts. It was easy as pie and pays well. I made like $600-ish for those weeks and I’m happy with that. I also have extra cash to pay for my tuition this school year. I’m staying on the same college because I don’t know where else I can find a school that would give me a diverse programs like they have. I’m proud to be with Gibbs again and I can’t wait to see my friends and schoolmates again. We have been very busy with our summer job that we barely communicate with each other.

I still don’t know whether I would still pursue my teller job which is 4-5 blocks from my school because lately the schedule they are giving me is so mess up even if they pay well! The college programs that I inquired before with Gibbs would allow me to take some of my subject on a weekend or a night shift, whichever is convenient for me. So I really have to think first before I decide if I will quit my job or what, I don’t want to waste that kind of money for teller job and at the same time, I don’t want my studies to sacrifice. I just really can’t give up my school now, that’s my top priority because it did give me a great opportunity to explore my interest with business and help me develop it. My life is brilliant indeed!

going to cabo

My friend Taylor and Natalie will be getting married by August in Mexico. I am very happy for these two because I know how much they love each other, and the relationship they have is one of the best rollercoaster ride ever. The wedding will be in Mexico in a small city called Cabo San Lucas and of course I’m invited. I have no idea yet what kind of place that is because I’ve never been to Mexico. Doing some research over the net, I got some info like: Cabo San Lucas, Where the land ends and the party starts, this place parties like no other. Hmm, not bad! I checked on my friend on what we will wear on the wedding day itself, Gown? Check! Shoes! Make-up? Check! Shoes? Check! Everything for the wedding is all set! I have my passport ready and my tickets paid. I’m almost ready.

The bride and groom-to-be will pay for my plane tickets, and they ask if I can pay for my accommodations once there, im cool with that. Just being invited on their important day is a pleasure with a consolation of plane ticket, shelling out a few bucks doesn’t matter to me. I’m cool with that! I wish all wedding that I’ll be attending will be like this. My friend from Mexico suggested this place in Cabo San Lucas. click! Click! Click! its sun cabo baby! I got more excited seeing those pictures! The church where the wedding ceremony will be held is just near the resort. How lovely! What a lovely wedding! It will be blessed! Now my only concern is the best gift I can give to my beautiful bride and groom. Have to search more on ebay for that. Viva Mexico!

bowling balls and shoes

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

I’m running out of plans this summer. I don’t want to go to another beach to get some dark skin again. i ask some of my friends to come up with an activity that will keep us away from the sun. There was badminton, paintings, piano lessons, etc..but none of them fascinates me. i did some research also over the net and same activities were suggested. i was driving by the city, and stopped at the mall when i saw this alley, its a bowling alley. it was pretty cool, coz when my friends and i entered the room, there was a pretty good light effects. my BFF inquired inside about their rates and all that. the location was accessible for me too coz its just around the area, and yes, the sun of course is away from us. Before i start my new activity or shall i call it my new interest, i did some research again about bowling. i was looking for some shoes that would fit this kind of sports. http://www.bowling.com got some list here on this site. i also want to have one of those bowling balls on that site. Just for me to display on my room.

i want to have that Hammer raw hammer and the elite r47. i browse other site about bowling and on this one, I found the cheapest bowling balls . What’s good about it is that it free shipping! Got to ready my credit card for it. Im so excited coz this weekend, I will start my new sports. Bowling!

We are looking also for a group who can join us and teach us with the ropes of Bowling. Im excited! Got to get my shoes and my bowling outfit ready!

these two are really extreme!

Victoria Beckham

Posh on what it was like when David was accused of having an affair three years ago: “I’m not going to lie. It was a really tough time. It was hard for our entire families. But I realized a lot of people have a price. David and I got through it together. No one said marriage was going to be easy. Yes, there have been bumps along the road. But the fact is we’ve come out of everything we’ve been through stronger and happier. It’s even better now than when we were first married. After all these years, we can just come home and have a laugh together.”

hotness

Posh on wanting to change America’s opinion on her: “I think people are really going to see me for the first time. I think they have this impression that I’m this miserable cow who doesn’t smile. But I’m actually quite the opposite. When you’re out there, they’re trying to get pictures up your shirt, down your top. With all the flashes, it’s as much as you can do to just find your car. I’m going to try and smile more for America.”

plus Spice Girls and David Beckhams’ and more!

more than meets the eye…

sure most of you have seen this movie, brought back childhood days when we saw this anime on tv, sang their theme song and started collecting the robots again. Started in 1984 by Hasbro, this toy robots that we all call transformers, are acton figures turning into items like cars, planes, and animals. This is not the first movie for the said cartoon. The first released of Transformer was in 1986 which was in cartoon and did not do well in the big screen.

My 2 cents for this movie: Steven Spielberg never failed me with his movies, and it impresses me more by collaborating with Michael Bay (yeah, Armeageddon and Pearl Harbor). The plot of the movie will not leave your minds boggling. It’s like the common plot that we all know, good versus evil plot line. Presenting the Autobots fighting to preserve the planet and the Decepticons bent on world domination. They arrived here on Earth searching for a cube that can unlock the secrets of the universe, they call it Allspark that was with the main character Sam Witwicky ( Shia LeBeouf). For getting good grades in school, his father (kevin Dunn) bought him his first car PORSCHE! ahh..no its a CAMARO! if you’re a follower of transformer, you know the original car was supposed to be a volkswagen, but then VW didn’t approved to be Bumblebee the sweet natured autobot! There’s just one part tho’ that i wonder… whatever happened to his ebay account? i hope he sold his item like billions! lol. i was checking the reviews from other people and i can say that 70% of the asians enjoyed it most. im guessing if you are already familiar with the franchise, you will more appreciate this flick. But then again, i’ve never actually follow this show in tv and never read their comics, but i enjoyed it. I think they all try to simplify the movie, for everyone to enjoy it than making it complicated.

Some other casts includes Tyrese, Josh Duhamel were soldiers that survived the first Decepticon attack when they were based in Qatar. We all know Sam as the average next door kind of guy who is so not the coolest guy in school story having the hots for this girl “Mikaela” played by Megan Fox. The heroic voice of Optimus Prime was originally used on this movie too which is a plus for its cast.

Transformers has one of the best action sequence of all time. I like how it made me emotionally connected with this Human machines. I can’t believe Bumblebee made me cry, well, almost. Bay really loves throwing fires and bombs with his movies, but for this one, i like how they also focused both on action and drama. The sounds and effects are all breath taking, worth watching this summer. im hearing some sequels coming and more Autobots and Decepticons to arrive.
