I’m a little late in joining the Guitar Hero bandwagon. I only started playing about two weeks ago, when a colleague of mine lent me his guitar. It turned out to be so much fun! I never had the opportunity of trying the game out because first, I don’t own a guitar and second, I have no guts to play those music games in the arcade (the guitars, the drums, and ok, let’s include the dance revo) . I’m just too easily embarrassed! The only music game I’ve tried and enjoyed until now is O2Jam only because it’s free and you play it in private. I don’t know, but I don’t feel comfortable with people around watching. Though I’m growing to love Timezone because of their videoke rooms but that’s another story. 
So far I’ve pretty much survived and 5-stared most of the songs in medium but I have yet to learn how to play the songs in hard mode. I can’t seem to figure out how to place my fingers on the fret buttons. But I guess I’ll learn this eventually. At the moment, I can only finish [barely] 4 songs in hard. Argh!
This new pastime prompted me to buy my own guitar. I immediately got one in Greenhills for P1400. And then the following day, after realizing that it’s more fun playing with another person, I bought another guitar but this time from a different store (costs only P1,350) so that my brothers could join me. So last weekend, my brothers and I bonded over GH. 
* * *
Speaking of bonding sessions over GH, I and the boys of our team had a little bonding session over at our Team Lead’s place. I dubbed it our team’s Geek Night. Basically, the plan was to geek out and play video games. I brought our PS2 (my brothers’ actually, since I haven’t played in what, 10 million years? well not until GH anyway haha!) and my two guitars so we could have Guitar Hero matches. Someone also brought his DS Lite in case anyone would want to play.
That’s that plan anyway. Apart from indulging ourselves with fish fillet and spaghetti. (yumyum~) Food, even if it’s sans meat (since it’s Friday) was delicious as always. Thanks Mommy Chen (that’s how I call our Lead’s mom ) for preparing the lovely dinner (AND for getting me my own 1 Litter bottle of Vidalia Onion woot!). You’re the best! I had quite a few servings but did not stuff myself too much so I’ll still be able to stand up and play GH. lol.
Food Pictures! (because I love taking them )
Istapegi! Yum! (This is just how I like to call spaghetti hihi)
Fish fillet.
On the background was what we used as dip, which is my fave dressing so far. Vidalia Onion Dressing.
my first serving (followed by my 2nd, 3rd, 4th…)
And the following are pictures of us playing GH.
Haven’t uploaded them in my multiply yet. I’ll try to squeeze that in one of these days.

I’m in emo mode and my current LSS are:
1. Dashboard Confessional - Stolen (I like this slower version better, though.)
2. Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats (I find this song very calming and soothing. )
From everyone’s blog.
Creepy that quizzes like this one, which really doesn’t have any scientific basis, would actually produce a result that has some truth to it. I will highlight what’s applicable to me.
You are 2:11 a.m. (Yep, I’m quite nocturnal. I’m currently writing this entry at 2:08 AM..)
Your time of day has a split personality — sometimes it’s sweat-streaked and loud, and you’re on the dance floor, getting your third wind, and shouting lyrics like you’ll never run out of energy. You are the time of night that carves itself into your memory forever, because you’ll never forget how much you love these people and this moment and this song. It’s not always about unforgettable parties, though. Sometimes your late night (err… early morning) burst of energy happens when you’re home alone. Those are the times when you say, “I flat out refuse to go to sleep until I finish reading this book, or typing this page, or reorganizing my entire closet.” In either case, you are the time of night when it feels sort of forbidden to be awake, but you love accomplishing something special long after everyone else went to bed. And hey — you can always catch up on sleep tomorrow, right?
10% of the people who took this quiz got the same evaluation. (I’m unique haha!)

I watched Juno last night. Loved everything about it. From the intro, to the plot, to the script, the soundtrack, the retorts, the characters, everything. I found myself literally laughing out loud at Juno’s witty lines. And Michael Cera’s dorkiness is adorable, just like in Superbad. I crush him! ♥ lol
The 2-minute opening to Juno:

There’s a 3-day sale at SM Centerpoint (which is just a few steps away from our house). I just found out when I dropped by a while ago to get my hair trimmed. I decided to look around and see if there’s anything worth buying. And I think luck was on my side today because I kept on getting good deals. 1) P30 off from the original price of my haircut+eyebrow threading 2) VMV superskin2 toner, moisturizer and cleanser - all gotten at a discounted price. As in 100/150-peso off from the original price. And as if the discounts weren’t enough, I got another 10% discount because I exceeded P1000. after all the maths, I ended up paying only P972 for all 3 products. So happy! 3) New shoes from Celine. no discounts here, but i’m very happy to have found a pair that fits well, and for only P599. Lately I’ve been having a hard time finding shoes my size. Don’t know if my feet had shrunk or size 5 got bigger 
. So thank God for this pair.
Overall, I’m happy with my purchases. Yehey!
