Delayed anniversary gift
We really wanted to have something special for the 1st wedding anniversary but due to some unexpected events, it didn’t go as planned. And being the practical people that we are, we’d rather ask what one wants instead of making surprises. I know! I know! Of course I would love to be surprised at times too.

Anyway, we got ourselves an iPod. Yes we bought 2 iPods… a black one for him and a white for me… both 30GB iPod video. At 1st I was telling him we’ll just get the 4GB nano. We don’t need a much bigger capacity anyway. I mean how much songs can you actually listen to right! Besides, I want the limited edition nano. But Nano is priced at $199 and just for an additional $50 you’ll get the 30GB iPod video. Will you still have second thoughts?!

iPods are usually charged in the computer using a USB cable. But we’re not always in the computer so we also bought a USB power adapter.

Casino Royale




When I 1st saw the preview of this 007 comeback movie, I was like… Who the heck is this guy! No offense but I think Pierce Brosnan is way…way more good looking than Daniel Craig. Then, on a Friday AM in the bus, I saw someone reading a paper with Daniel Craig in the front page saying “The Best Bond movie since Connery”. I got curious and asked Irvin if he wants to see the movie and apparently he said yes.

And so we went to see the movie yesterday. We went for the 1st screening where tickets are half the regular price. Daniel Craig? He is hot… as in “macho”. He did great in the movie… acted like a real pro… a veteran. And I definitely recommend Casino Royale. It was so worth it. The actions were breath-taking and definitely wasn’t boring.

And for those of you who wants to try the strategy game, click this…

You can also listen to the music played in the movie…

Olive Garden



Irvin and I have been to some restaurants and so far, he finds the food quite ordinary until we went to Olive Garden. He liked the food so much that we’re thinking of going back.

House salad…




Minestrone soup…




Chicken parmigiana…




Shrimp risotto with asparagus…




Chocolate mousse cake (which I find kind of different and I didn’t really enjoy)…




I forgot to take a picture of the bread sticks though…

McLaren
Our big boss got a new car from Mercedes Benz. I hope he won’t mind that I’m blogging about it. I guess not! I even told him I took pictures of it (from the parking lot at work) to show to Irvin. Besides, he was the one who said it costs $450k anyway. A co-worker said there’s a price difference between a sports car and a racing car. I didn’t even know. This McLaren is considered a racing car that’s why it’s very expensive.





Who wouldn’t want to have this luxury car anyway!
