Alright it's 2006! Man time flies like mad. First off, I forgot to make a post last week, but I wanna share my post-Christmas greetings with everyone. If you're curious as to what I got as presents, I got a new cell phone (to replace the one I lost before my birthday) from my parents, and I got headphones from Abby.

I've been playing Need for Speed Underground 2 and Battlefield 1942 a lot since last week. It's my first time to play either game, since my machine is actually powerful enough to handle them now. But I actually played NSFU2 before, on the PS2, even just for a little while.

We went to the last day of the Pyro Olympics 2005 at the Mall of Asia in Roxas Blvd. (?) Friday night. It was U.A.E. versus team Philippines. The show was very good. I loved this one pyrotechnic that team Philippines used, where it made a huge explosion, resulting in dozens of falling red dots that stayed in the air for a long time, probably half a minute or more. It was awesome. The way to and from that place had terribly heavy traffic though, and it took us over 2 hours to get home. It took Mikey about 4 hours (they got home at 2 AM). Hmm.

We'd just finished our family new year party. Traditionally, we'd be going to Las Piñas by now, but there's nobody there now from what I hear, because they're going to Los Baños. I'm sorta relieved. While it's good to see the family, I think it's good also to relax for once.

Fireworks and firecrackers around here are loud as usual. Many of the residents gave the firecrackers to the gate guard for him to light. He seems to be very used to doing such things. But one of the kwitis that he lit flew down prematurely, and exploded on the ground about 5 yards away from where we were standing. That was fun heh. The other one before that did the same, but landed in the street.

Finally, regarding Flyff and Silk Road, Silk Road is still broken. I mean, you can log on and all, and there's even a Christmas event still on-going (will end at January 3rd I think), but attack speeds are messed up, thanks to the massive server lag. The whole server is lagging, and it's affecting even the time between attacks. Even monsters are affected. We're hoping that the problem ends by the next patch on Tuesday. In Flyff, I put my Billposter-to-be aside first to see if I'll enjoy a Blade-to-be more. So far so good. Definitely handles frontlining better, for obvious reasons...

Anyway that's all the news. It's over two weeks of events summed up as shortly as I can sum it up. Enjoy the rest of the vacation, guys!
