Peach, fan made birthday present to Maki

Here is a fan made video created as a birthday present (last year, 2007) for Horikita Maki. It features the Hana Kimi (Japan) ending theme soundtrack Peach by Otsuka Ai. The video is a mash up of various appearances of Maki from game shows and TV shows. The video also includes some behind the scenes from the TV series which she appeared such as; Nobuta wo Produce, Kurosagi, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e, and others.

Enjoy the vid.


Peach - Birthday Present for Maki

26th birthday, second batch

Last Nov. 10, I went out with my girlfriend, including my former officemates to have a dinner at Eastwood, Libis. So after 7:00 pm, we went to this restaurant called Serye, where we’ve had our dinner.

This supposed dinner was delayed a couple of times a few weeks back because of schedule conflicts. But I was glad it did push through, since its been a while since I last saw them. The ones present at that night out were: Sarah, Kelly, Arbee and her boyfriend, Nico. I was with my girlfriend Joanne when we arrived there just a few minutes before 7 pm.

I’ve uploaded a couple of photos at the media gallery (follow Friends, Dinner at Serye to view them). The complete set of photos can be found at Kelly’s multiply page, including the meal that fed our stomachs that evening.

A semi-eventful week

Last Tuesday (Oct. 16) I went to Caloocan City hall to get myself a Cedula, which I needed for the supposed meeting on Thursday. Also, I passed by the mall to watch a streaming video of the new series of Heroes season 2, which unfortunately I didn’t finished because their stream was too slow. Anyway, I’ll just wait for my cousin to finish downloading the latests episodes then I’ll just watch it at the comfort of my room.

Last Thursday (Oct. 18) I went to Makati with my aunt, half-sister and her son, and my cousin and her boyfriend. Anyway, we just went there to finish signing ‘important documents’ from our lawyer. Another highlight of the trip was my half-sister asked me to help her son build a custom PC. Ok so we are aiming for a high-end PC because my nephew’s course in college is 3D animation, that means high graphics and high memory, powered with high capacity and fast processing power. The specs?

Motherboard: MSI K9N NEO-F NFORCE 550/SOCKET AM2/1000FSB/DDR2
Processor: Athlon 64 X2 4400 Dual core processor (Box) socket AM2
RAM: Transcend 1GB DDR2 PC667 memory (x2, totaling 2 GB of RAM)
Graphics Card: Powercolor ATI HD2600XT DDR3 PCIE 512MB TV 128BUT DVI
Hard Drive: Hitachi 160GB SATA
Optical Drive: Sony DRU-835A 18X/8X DL 8.5GB Light scribe Dual layer DVD-/+

Although I always recommend ASUS (motherboard) using nVIDIA chipset (graphics card) running on an Intel core duo (processor), he specifically stated, he wants AMD Athlon (processor) with ATI chipset (graphics card) so we settled on a MSI motherboard. Anyway, we tested his rig using my favorite Need For Speed Carbon game with all setting and details set to high or maximum, and well… the result? no lag whatsoever. After getting a hands-on to his gaming rig, I’m more encouraged to upgrade my relatively slow PC to match his.

Yesterday, Friday (Oct. 19) my nephew wanted to buy a new cellphone so he asked me to accompany him at the local mall. He’s going back to the province (Naga city) later that evening. Sony Ericsson K750i was his choice, features? A media player to play videos, music, and view photos. A built-in speaker with MegaBass™ to broadcast what music you are listening to. Supports Bluetooth, USB cable, and video streaming. GPRS is also supported, with expandable micro memory stick. It has a flash when shooting the camera, and uses the QuickShare technology.

Talk about expensive shopping, 29,000 for the PC unit plus 7,650 for the brand new cellphone, plus other ’stuff’ that they need. My half-sister and her son only stayed here for just two days, and went back to Naga City the next day.

Today, Saturday (Oct. 20) is my birthday, but I’m planning to have the celebration by Saturday (Oct. 27) next week so that most of my friends can come. I just hope all of the ones I specifically invited would show up. Hehehe. Anyway, my plans for today is to just go out with my girlfriend, after her work later this evening. We didn’t go out last Wednesday (Oct. 17) to celebrate our monthsarry, so we have to go out today.
