THE OFFICE IS MY NEW "FRIENDS"

The Office is my favorite TV series since Friends. It's so hilarious, funny and sweet that I watched more than 20 episodes within 24 hours (during my final exams, but that's another story).

THE HOLIDAY IS MY NEW TITANIC

I watched The Holiday last night and I love it. It is one of my favorite (the favorite?)romance movies.

The blog is blocked here again. I can blog but I can't view my blog.

GOD WILL GIVE ME JUSTICE

Ted Price (President and CEO of Insomniac Games, the guys behind Resistance: Fall of Man, Ratchet & Clank and Spyro) looks just like James Caviezel (aka Jim Caviezel) from The Count of Monte Cristo, Unknown and I Am David.

While watching The Count of Monte Cristo, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was looking at Ted Price.

No Game, No Gain

This week is a very busy one; it's full of projects' demos and presentations: 3 down, one more to go. In today's multimedia presentation, I believe that my group's work deserves second (or third) place out of all eleven presentations.

I can't wait to get my hands on God of War II demo. The game looks better and better every time I look at the new shots (IGN got a new story about it.)

Just a few days ago, I received "VOICES music from Final Fantasy" from a friend (it's a live orchestra held on 18 Feb 2006 at Pacific Yokohama, Japan) and it rocks. I really hope that someday I'll have a chance to attend one of those.

I just watched Hostage (for Bruce Willis)... a total waste of my time (looking forward to Die Hard 4 though).

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

[SPOILERS WARNING]

The 5th movie in HP series is coming out to a theater near you on the 13th of July (less than a month after my graduation). Here are some pictures from the movie:

Ron, Harry and Hermione:



Dumbledore's Army:

The 6th movie is planned to be released next year.

UTADA

Utada Hikaru is my favorite songstress. There's a new DVD for her, UTADA UNITED 2006, which is out in Japan. I have Utada In Budokan 2004 and I definitely want this one (I hope amazon.com gets it soon).

From Here and There

To start the new year with a tiny change in the blog, I added a tiny counter for visitors (check it at the bottom of the right area).

I finished reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix last night, exactly one week from the day I purchased it from Jarir Bookstore back at home. This means that I read all 5 books in one semester (during my senior year at college). The 6th book is waiting for my at home. I'll start reading it once I finish my final exams (on Jan. 29).

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is coming out on Friday. I pre-ordered mine from amazon.com (the Collector's Edition, of course). The game got 8.5 on IGN and 6.5 on EGM/1UP.

I have an exam in 30 minutes... later.

Happy New Year


Just wanted to say hi!

Wish you all the best.
