Jammin'

Well, I woke up at 8:30 in the morning and attended our church meeting. I met Joanie; Joanie met Kevin. I paid 200 pesos to the greedy Joanie for the CDs I ordered from her. We chatted...

She told me about her classmates. I told her about my crazy dream yesterday. Then, she told me about an essay of hers. The creation of man - her version. What an assignment!

Anyway, she had to leave... I was hoping that we go to SM MegaMall (to grab hold of that sleek Sony LCD monitor which I kept raving about, and to play Dance Maniax for only 5-6 pesos per game) or to SM Mall of Asia (I miss the place. I want to visit the Entertainment Mall again, and also, surf for gadgets...) He didn't want to. His reasons are:

1. SM MegaMall is too far from our current location.
2. SM Mall of Asia may still be packed with people.

I suggested Robinson's Galleria; he denied. In the end, we went to Robinson's Place (RP).

"I just went there on Monday! No way!Let's go to SM San Lazaro instead..."

Too late. Nooo... I'm already sick of RP. I've been there more than a hundred times. I've already memorized the locations of all the stalls and booths there (now, including the second floor).

Eliminating my complaints, let's move on...

It seems that Robinson's Place had been doing a little renovating...

First, I went to the fourth floor to check for some "cheap (or counterfeit)" CDs which I may be able to use... None. Nothing to lose though, I rarely purchase pirated CDs. Yeah! Anti-piracy!

We went to eat at Karate Kid. Munch! Gulp! *burp* Excuse me...

What's next... We returned to that CD store and I checked for some other things... None.

I went down to DataBlitz, my official supplier of original CDs. Oh my gosh! A newer version of MAGIX mp3 Maker is already available. Man, it's hard to keep up with these guys...

What attracted me most is the MAGIX Video Edit Pro 11 program for sale. It costs 2400 pesos. I'll buy it soon, if I had the money...

I also bought another reference book for my studies. SAMS Teach Yourself Java 2. How I love reading these books...

My mom was supposed to go to DataBlitz to accompany me to GBox. She wasn't around. I called her up.

"The subscriber cannot be reached. Please try again later."

I got furious. I called up my dad. No answer.

I went to the other end of RP. I heard a war cry which made me wonder. Pacquiao was boxing against another person, and the people were cheering him...

Still full of fury, I returned to the Robinson's Department Store side and bought myself a limited edition (Pokemon) Mew card. My psychic deck is getting better and better. Someone challenge me please...

With no one to accompany me, I went to GBox alone...

Their Dance Maniax was working, at last. I bought myself 3 tokens (7 pesos each) and went upstairs...

After waiting for two people wear themselves out, it was my turn. I inserted two tokens for two games, and then I started...

The user interface was different. This new environment puzzled me. The sound was louder than usual (perhaps because it was located in the corner). Dance Maniax First Mix, was it?

I learned that it's okay to lose in a song in this Dance Maniax machine. I can't believe I lost though... Baila! Baila! was pretty easy. Maybe because my dad suddenly arrived. Oh yes. The sensor wasn't working properly, and it's harder to get an S-rank than I thought...

Locomotion, Butterfly, Heaven is a '70 Metallic Gray, Baila! Baila!, All My Love...

I ended my third game with All My Love, as usual... I only got a rank A. I don't understand. I didn't commit any mistakes... Why?

I went down with my father and went to AstroVision. One version of MegaMan Battle Network 6 (class A) was already available. I asked them when they would have the original version. They didn't know.

"Pareserve nalang kung meron..."

We went home with my mom.

I did some Java programming at home; I also watched some Naruto videos, played a little Ragnarok, and did my homework...

We ate dinner at Manila Hotel. My cousin sang at the wedding feast, as usual. He's quite famous. I was awestruck when I heard the emcee sing a song whick rekindled a lot of memories...

我愿变成童话里
你爱的那个天使
张开双手
变成翅膀守护你
你要相信
相信我们会像童话故事里
幸福和快乐是结局

Wish I could sing like him...

Back at home, I tried O2 Jam and checked if it was really as addicting as my friends say...
