André’s Weblog

I’m 20 years old!! AAAArrrrrghhhhhhhh! I feel so old now. LOL

Being a teen was ok I guess. Time to act more mature eh? This is the age I consider true adulthood. I don’t have the word teen in my age anymore.

This day is going to be simple. At least there are no classes today, thanks to the typhoon. While I feel worried that some people in the provinces might be homeless before the day is done, that shouldn’t let me down. I will definitely wish them a more reasonable fate.

Woohoo! Blog again later!

I spent some alone time here at home. The parents and the brother went out. Only the André was in the house.

I had to start studying for a big Theology (yes. More useless classes to justify the tuition fee.) exam on Monday. That didn’t go too well because AXN had the Amazing Race 10 catch up marathon! Lol. I ended up binging and finishing the whole thing. It was really exciting. I get really jealous when I see these people going to lots of different places, nestled in different continents. Maybe one day I’ll consider joining. Of course when that time comes, we’d all be wearing space jumpsuits. And it won’t be much of a race to the finish line anymore. It’s going to be a contest on who can find all the parts of their teleporter so that they can vanish to the designated finish line. Who ever wins will be granted a travel back through time.

Tomorrow, the family will go to Lola’s place. She said she’d cook my birthday feast now because she know’s next Sunday will be mall day. We’re going to give our 2 puppies to my cousins tomorrow. 4 dogs in the house is just too much. We’re going to miss them though. There won’t be any animal running around, like there’s no tomorrow, in the gazebo after dinner. At least there won’t be any poop to step on anymore. This is their last night with us.

Oh well, time to start studying again.

PS. I want new jackets!!!!!

Christmas is getting nearer and nearer! Once again, it’s the time to give and receive. I already have an idea what I’m going to get my parents, but I wonder if they have any idea on what I want from them. I myself am confused on what I want. There are so many good stuff out there today! So, I decided to come up with a list of material objects that caught my attention in the past few weeks. Here goes!

1. Sony Ericsson P990i

I really like this phone. This appeals so much to me. I hate the fact that I have to carry 2 different devices in my 2 pockets. The P990i converges both of them. It also has all the features I want. Sure, the built-in 802.11b radio will help me (in human language, that means Wi-Fi), but the 3G capabilities are what caught my attention. The video calling function is just ok. What I like about 3G connections is the ability to hook it up to a computer (desktop or laptop) and act as a modem, which will allow me to surf the internet @ speeds up to 384Kbps, even without a wi-fi hotspot nearby! Also, this is a geek toy.

2. Omega Seamaster 300 M Chronometer

If this watch looks familiar to you, chances are, you have seen the latest James Bond film, Casino Royale. Yep! This is the watch Daniel Craig was using in the movie. The any Omega watch that any Bond will use won’t be manufactured by the hundred thousands. They will only make 10,007 units of each, effectively making it a rare watch. It has an automatic movement (duh. You don’t expect them to make this fine piece of watch a quartz now do you?). Owning one of these babies would make me one of England’s most powerful weapons.

3. Nikon D40 D-SLR

This one caught my attention because our family pictures should be sharp, vibrant, and crisp. This is a great way to preserve memories, especially if we are to burn pictures as a slideshow on DVD.

Well, I just hope my parents read my blog often.
