Now Playing
So my PSP's been benched for quite awhile now though I usually bring it in the office and play Tekken DR adhoc wifi connection with my officemates, my new DSLite fills my after work play hours. Here's my playlist and a short comment on why I liked them.
#1 Zelda- Phantom HourGlass
How could I ever pass this one out? I am a fan of the series and played one of my very first few Zelda games on SNES and on GBA. Never get tired of it. Using the stylus on the touch screen for attacks , map drawings and movements is simply pure joy.
#2 Prof Layton and the Curious Village. - nice concept for a game where you solve a mystery of the main story with small mind puzzles and each puzzle will give you a clue to progress on the game. And mind you, some puzzles are hard and some you may find somewhat meant for IQ tests.
#3 Time Hollow - what attracted me to this game is that your character can punch a hole in time using his pen to resolve mysteries in the game. Everytime you make changes, it affects all things on your present time to a point a whole day never actually happened.
#4 The World End with You- and Lastly from my fave game developer SquareEnix (Final Fantasy series, Kingdom Hearts series) their entry for the Nintendo handheld console. The battle system is a new concept, your characters fight on both screens and you control them at the same time. I havent progressed much on the game, but it really looks promising, not to mention its anime-ish and the setting is a real replica of AKIHABARA district, The Anime and Gaming hub of Japan.

2008
It's gonna be 2009 in a few days and as I ponder 2008 was a great great year for me. Now with new challenges and career opportunities this January I'm so very thankful that God blessed all my hard work the past year.
To reward myself I got a few gifts for myself this Christmas, first I bought an HP laptop, then a Nintendo DS Lite (Onyx Black) with 2Gig EDGE Flashcart (for my kids as well) and a collector's item Final Fantasy X Original PS2 DVD (from TipidPC). I'm a Final Fantasy Series Fan so I bought it ^_^, the original price is PHP 2,500++ butI got it for a bargain of PHP500 and in mint condition.
These will keep me busy until JAN 5 along with the Boxed set of HOUSE MD (Season 1-4) that I bought for my marathon tv series run. ^_^
Thanks 2008, Here I come 2009!

It was a cool get together with old PS friends as well as new ones.we even get to have a picture with Sitti the Bossa Nova Singer who to our surprise was also in the bistro.

The Next Challenge
So the news is out, I officially tendered my resignation last Dec 01 and on terminal leave since Dec 16. I'm moving to a new endeavor which will provide me more opportunities for career growth. The great thing about it is I'm going to work with my former team from Peoplesupport which coincidentally got accepted as well. I actually have several offers but most noted are Macquarie's offer and a certain BPO in Ortigas as Incident Manager. It was a tough choice and I chose to be where my former team will also be; the Australian Based Global Financial Company Macquarie.
I will officially start on January 5, 2009 ; Macquarie was very happy with us joining the pioneer global I.T. team that they invited us to the blessing of their newly added floor office in 6750 Makati to augment their growing space needs and at the same time to their Christmas party in Hard Rock Makati last DEC 12, even though we haven't started working yet :P.
The whole gang was there and here's some pics of the event.

What I've learned from CHUCK
Never thought I'd be actually learning something new from Chuck Episode 09 . Officially, Pluto is no longer a planet. It sucks that I only learned about it today but it was already decided 2 years ago.
Heck, now the stuff they're teaching my kids on science must be updated..or else I have to let them watch CHUCK.
So Pluto is now demoted to a dwarf planet or a name of a dog.

College Nostalgia
I went to Mapua Intramuros last week to get a copy of my Transcript of Records (yes, its been there for ages) and it was a bit nostalgic. Well the Intramuros will give you that nostalgic feel but it seems that Mapua hasn't changed at all since I last went there around 10 plus years ago.
Before going there, i dropped at the Letran part of Intramuros so I can enjoy a good walk to Mapua. A lot has changed and I can smell the atmosphere of my college days in the air reminding me how good it was getting back to school.
At Mapua, I did notice some improvements on the school building. A lot new but most of the things stayed the same. I even went a tour again around campus and the halls seems to be the same way they felt ten years ago, but a lot quiter.
It was fun going back..and its nice that i will be going back here to pickup the TOR 4 weeks from now. I wish I can go back to school and study again.
