I know most people hate reading "long-ass" blogs but unfortunately this is going to be one of them since I have a lot of catching up to do.
Video Games
If you read my last blog, I have made my final video game purchase for the year which is Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii. All I can say is "Sugee!!", it's worth every penny in my opinion. It's kind of a mixture of Mario 64 (N64) and the classic Mario 3 (NES). I have played 2 hours into the game and it hasn't disappointed me yet. Besides being a great game, if you bought this game at Toys R Us from 11/12 to 11/17, you most likely got a $25.00 gift certificate towards your next purchase. What a great deal!!!
Japanese Update
I have finally finished my beginning Japanese lesson book!! I am quite proud of myself since I'm doing an independant study on learning how to speak the language. I spend about 20 minutes every weekday learning the language while eating my lunch at work. Of course, I also seem to get interrupted during my studies due to curious coworkers questioning why I am torturing myself or giving me great compliments. Here are some of the reason why I'm studying.
Studying anything keeps my mind sharp and alert.
To learn a new language and to gain cultural competency.
Watch animes and other Japanese shows.
It's fun and it is something I want to do (self motivation - breeds success in life!!).
Now I am learning on how to write in Hiragana!!
Graduate School
I finally got into graduate school!! The downside is I can't afford to go due to the high cost of tuition and rising prices everywhere I go. It seems like I need to get a second job in order for me to go. I'm not too worried about not going right now since I have peace of mind that the door is already open and it is up to me to decide on when.
The Holidays!!
This probably one of the happiest and most depressing time of year. By this I mean, happy times is when you get to see your long distant friends & family members, spending time with the people you love, holiday dinner, shopping for yourself or for someone else, the snow, holiday bonus check, time off from school or work, etc. Depressing meaning, not having anyone to spend the holidays with, you gotta work, you're too broke to buy anything or your still paying last year's Christmas gifts, shopping with the huge crowds, you hate the snow and cold weather, etc. Whatever your mood might be around this time, just make the most of it!!
Naruto
I really need to catch up on my Naruto episodes. I have left off on episode 230 and I'm about to drop another couple of hundred bucks into NYC economy since that's where I get all my DVD's. I don't want to download the episodes because I made it my hobby on collecting it all. I have expanded my collection from the last picture so just want until you see it now. LOL!!
Here's the newest, cute Naruto ending!! A great song and a must download!!
