WARNING! WARNING!

May this be a warning to all game enthusiasts out there.
This WARCRAFT 3 - Reign of Chaos game is very, very addicting.
I spent the whole day yesterday and today playing this manipulative game.

Though my good friends, John Bertazzo and Matthieu Roy. (with two t's),
will be so proud of me for squeezing in some game time during my holidays.

Check out the Warcraft 3 - Reign of Chaos web site here.

Now if you would excuse me,
I need to make haste and travel to the forgotten land of Northrend,
and seek out the evil Leader of the Cult of the Damned - Kel'Thuzad.

He is piiiiisssiiinngg me off!!

As you can see from this picture,
We went to see Santa.

He happens to be at the mall when we were there.
Thank God, we caught up with him, especially with his schedule and all.

Tyler did very good with him,
I mean, when we were done, Santa’s suit was still velvet red.
Not like my shirt, with permanent white spots on the shoulder.

Anyway,
I am so happy, knowing that Tyler will get to grow up knowing that
Santa will come and visit our house, and give him his gifts.

When I was a kid, I had a hard time trying to figure out
how in the world is he going to get into our house in the Philippines.
Houses don’t have chimneys there.

My mother said he comes in through the windows.
I said, “No way!”
The windows were locked.
And we have window bars all over them.

Then she said,
"Sometimes, He just magically appears in your bedroom,
and puts the gifts under your bed."

Now I am officially freaked out.

Either Santa is a ghost, appearing out of nowhere.
One Christmas night he would just appear in my room
and scare the bejeezuz out of me.

Or he’s got some training from Burglary academy.
Being able to break in and enter without you knowing.

You don't want to see a fat guy in a suit, trying to pry open your window.

Well now we live in North America,
For sure he has to make a stop and give us something.
Not only because we have a chimney,
but also when we were at the mall,
I gave him "The Look".

The look that says,
"I still haven't forgotten."
"Christmas 1981"
"I am still waiting for my train set."

Guess what opens on movie theaters today?
Oh yeah.

Lord of the Freakin' Rings!!

I was hoping to finish the book before it came out,
but I never did.
Just got a little busy,
you know, having a baby and everything.

Now, our main problem is finding a babysitter,
so Tracy and I can go and see it.

No, wait! our real main problem is money.
It has been very tight since our family grew.
Priorities have changed dramatically.

Now we have "Family" money.

Before, Tracy and I have "Couple's" money.

Which is cool, because you have two people making decisions,
Two people budgeting for both the present and the future.
And eventually, those decisions would lead to something good.

But Before "Couple's" money,
I had "Single" money.

I got my money, my single money.
I wanna buy what I wanna buy,
got my own money, got my single money.

Got all the DVD's, Computer stuff, Electronic, Hi-fi,
Stereo Sound, Games, Tools, Accessories.

Oh yeah...

But Then..

A week before Tyler was born,
I was looking at all my stuff.
My Dvd's, My computers, My guitars,
My toys, My car.

and I said to myself..

I said "Self..."

That's it....
That's all you're gonna have...
Because, the next thing you're going to buy would be,

Baby toys, baby rattles, baby stuff, baby food
Baby entertainment,
Blues Clues, Sesame Street, Disney Movies,
Teletubbies, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too.
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hooo.

Well, anyway,
What was I saying??
Oh yeah.
Sorry I got side tracked there.

I guess this is just a roundabout way of saying...

I WANNA SEE LORD OF THE FREAKIN' RINGS!

Oh well,
Back to reading the book.
