i realized i just wanted to blog about acquisitions and achievements this past month.
first up, my mother and father have new phones. MyPhone A618 TV duo. android phones. mama has a white one and papa a black one. mama’s is a gift from ate and me and papa’s is a gift to himself from his bonus.
buds got ate a white iphone 4s. they too have matching phones.
as for me, i have a broken phone and no plans to change it soon. maybe in a year or more. i also got to fix my old elm which had a sim card detection problem that led to getting mama a new phone. i didn’t get to retrieve her phonebook, though.
acquisitions and achievements, i got myself a working second hand i5-760 and 2x2gb ram and installed them successfully to adette’s supposed evga p55 sli board. i bought a coolermaster vortex plus for it and are now in yonni’s desktop’s case. it’s in need of a proper power supply to run the board and the 2 9800gt’s—one is yonni’s old card and the other, salvaged from miro. yonni’s broken(?) core 2 duo board and cpu are here with me. haven’t really checked it.
with yonni getting himself a ps3 earlier this month and his sisters a 360 with kinect for Christmas, i think an sli rig is but fitting in their household.
in nfs world, i got back to playing the treasure hunt after breaking my 60-day streak last october in favor of a wonderful time out of town with mhae and her family. i broke my streak a couple of times and i’m now in a 9-day streak (i think).
fun thing about that game, it reminds me of how i spend time with mhae on the phone before she left. she had my netbook and she played plants vs. zombies or zuma while i played world. and the t-mobile billboards ingame are a fun reminder of her work at startek. i also realized t-mobile ads in hor pursuit. i now launch hot pursuit in steam so i can get screenshots.
back to world, december got me free cars, the lancia delta and the nissan gt-r vspec. and also back to racing multiplayer. but i still haven’t gone past my 69 wins. just more losses. i’ve also saved for a murciĆ©lago. too bad, the yellow (default color) lp-640 hardtop got retired in october. i decided that i’ll be getting the lp-650 roadster. i’ve saved up a few days ago. will get it tomorrow. new year, new ingame car
ah, games. i guess since i haven’t been spending time in movie and dinner dates, i got more time to game. and slack around. and fix my room. ah, yes, my room. its cleaning up is still in progress. good luck to me.
trivial things. small things matter to me. i guess that’s why bigger things matter greatly. oh, and before i forget, i haven’t tweeted since a few days ago. that’s so i’ll close the year with 669 tweets. twitter achievement.
and it’s time to have new year’s eve dinner. new year in an hour and a few minutes. thank you again Lord for 2012.
