nano...

i have a new gadget, a 1gb black ipod nano! =) i had a shuffle before, but i returned it for reasons, i don't remember. i'm really happy with it. makes my early morning commute a little easier to bear. its really nice, though my fear is that i might break the screen by accident. i get careless at times.

canon sd450

franny and i finally got ourselves a new camera! yehey!!! we got the Canon SD450 digital elph. i love the large 2.5 lcd screen. gives us no problems viewing the pics that we take. before i was planning to get myself a digital slr, obviously this can't compare to them, but it does take very nice pics that im planning to postpone getting one.

Once i take some pics, ill post them up here, or on my flickr account.

by the way, if you're interested in getting one, check out the reviews for it here.

simcity 3000 unlimited

i haven't been blogging lately. been spending most of my free time working on my city named - New City. (i was lazy to change the default name given). Even though i know that Sim4 is out there already, i still prefer playing the older version. i guess its a habit i picked up when i was younger. we never had the most up-to-date computer so the only game that would run would have been the less demanding version. =)

I just love this game. such a unique concept given that there really is no well defined "win" you just keep on playing and personalizing the city to fit your taste. though in the original simcity the goal was to reach a certain amount of people which would categorize your city as a megalopolis. i forgot the number to reach.

this is my supposed residential area

my commercial district

You have great abilities, but you are often way too critical of yourself.You don't fit in - and instead of celebrating your differences, you dwell on them.You have high expectations of yourself. But sometimes you set them too high and don't achieve anything.

hehehe!

i've always enjoyed jokes about one's profession. to be fair to other professions, i'm including this link to numerous jokes about economists.

here is one...

A boy was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The boy took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want." Again the boy took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?" The boy said, "Look, I'm an economist. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool."
