Lyn's Big Day

Addicted too

Nobody can stop the man! He got what he has been wanting since November when it was first released. At last, he can die in any minute with a smile on his face :-) Just kidding! I am talking about the XBOX 360. Yeppers! JJ is unstoppable! I did my best to stop him, but...oh well! He paid $50 just to be on the lists of priority customers who can get the XBOX 360 when its available and it came last friday night. Man, the man was so excited! Grinning ear to ear! He went to exchanged his old XBOX and few games. I was furious deep inside for I know he'd be paying more or less $500 for this new guy and I am skeptical if he will spend time playing it or he'd still prefer the online computer game. His old XBOX still looks very new. Will see.

Microsoft did a great job with this new XBOX 360 and whats sweet about it, is the controller is wireless. That mean's I won't end up fixing his stuff when he's done playing unlike before! Aside from the gaming experience, XBOX 360 enables us to watch DVD movies, play music CD's, connect an MP3 player and listen to music, connect a digital camera and view pictures, listen to music and view digital pictures from your Windows XP-based PC.

Anyway, I played with him on some of his games and I was addicted to this game called Hexic.It's basically just a puzzle hit from Alexey Pajitnov, the original creator of Tetris®. The deal is to rotate groups of three hexes to form clusters of like-colored tiles. Use bonus pieces and starflowers to boost your score and discover new ways to play, very simple! But watch out for bombs—clear them before they explode or it's game over. It is very addicting and so far, I've only achieved 3 out of 12:

Flower Child: Star flower

Star Gazer: Bunos-star cluster


Cluster Buster: 25 total combos

I am very excited about this game. Like JJ said, its a good chance to exercise the brain :-)

Collapse Master: 5000 total combos

Let's Talk About Car's

Friday was St. Patrick's Day, and there was a parade at Dublin. JJ and I planned to go there, infact we were both dressed for the occassion. We changed the plan at the last minute. For one thing, weather is still not comfy enough to be staying outdoor for an hour or two. Second, we started the day late as usual.

Instead we went to the Convention Center for the International Auto Show. All we can say is "wow" and "damn!" all those sweet, expensive cars! There were about 40+ exhibitors and we got the chance to sit behind the wheel and take photos with all of our dream cars. We're not looking to buy one, just "window shopping". Our VW Tuareg lease won't be up until after 3 yrs.

Nissan 350Z

We both fell in love with the Nissan 350Z over the Corvette. It is very sexy, and "more affordable". According to a forum, it went on sale on 2002 and became number one selling sports car, outselling Corvette. Funny, 'coz we got more photos with Corvette...hehe!

Corvette

<---I was intrigued by the VW Beetle, which JJ thought I should've gotten instead of the Nissan Sentra.Dunno, he just thought I would be cute in it.

Honda on the other hand has this new Insight Hybrid 3-Door which is very interesting. --->

Sigh* if only buying a vehicle is as easy as buying a cellphone noh? My first choice would be the Jeep Liberty. Why? 'coz I've always liked a compact SUV. Just enough for when we have kids (harrr!) nothing too big for a small woman like me, I think I'd look cute in it...hehehe! Damn! Sana manalo ako ng lotto, noh?! Pastilan na lang jud, sa una btaw sakay ra man ug jeep! wahehehihi!
