Audi A4 2009

The perfect combination for performance & luxury. Audi A4 2009 got it all. I would never consider Audi as my future car if it wasn't for this awesome driving experience. The new technology Audi has executed on their new A4 is simply outstanding. Literally makes me repeat "wow" endlessly. As for those Mercedes-Benz fans who consider their C class vehicles as top notch, definitely a big no no. Do not know what's all the commotion for Mercedes is about; seriously overrated. Overall, if considering for an AWD vehicle, definitely have the A4 2009 as a choice. It won't disappoint you. 

With Love & Luck,

Mr. Koji Kondo

Who says video games cannot be a type of art? Koji Kondo, the man behind all Super Mario scores or better said, most Nintendo's video games music, is wicked amazing! I am totally infatuated with Super Mario Galaxy's (Wii) soundtrack. Beautifully composed... it shows the diversity of orchestration and our endless creativity. The followings are: a video during a recording session of one of the tracks and my favorite track from the game.

Screen.Shots



Who doesn't love MAC? I'm totally in love with my MacBook Pro, which has been with me through thick and thin for one year and a half. For those who are still using Windows... it's time for a change! Why? Just because MAC rocks. It just does. Moreover, I know couple of my friends who used to be Windows users, they are all switching to MAC for their oh-so-wonderful graduate school experience. Yea, I should receive a commission from Apple for speaking so well of their products. I guess Steve Jobs is after all a bit stingy and does not want to lessen his funds to raise the number of his very black only turtleneck collection. Thank you very much :D  teheeee. Screen captures of my current desktops. Enjoy!

We Are Back!


After one year of separation, The Girls are finally back and reunited in the city of Boston, MA. Wonderful weekend, great laughs and overall,  great time! The cameras were working non stop to capture great moments and truthfully, blinding for my eyes. First stop of the night, dinner was served at the well-known seafood restaurant, Legal Seafoods. Second stop of the night was visiting Venu, a nightclub/lounge/bar where everyone danced and drank the night away; well, at least that is what I did. :P Next day, it was a relaxing, beautiful summer day in Boston so we decided to visit a farm where everyone had home-made ice-cream and battled in the water: bumper boats! 
Final point, we will be back! Who knows when, but we will see you soon :D  For now, Hasta La Vista Baby. 

With Love & Luck,
Emily

Another Apple Product

I can feel this weekend is going to be hectic, but at the same time excited?  I hope I won't be too tired. I guess I'm becoming more indolent and nonchalant about issues that are not career or family related. Sounding like a pessimist, but there are always priorities I need to focus on. However, glad to know my former two years suite-mate from college is visiting from Thailand tomorrow. It should be some catching-up and good times. 

While visiting the mall today, came across from a crowd of people who are waiting to purchase the newest Apple product, iPhone 3G. However, I read from a credible online source saying that Apple is encountering some activation problem with their new gadget. Apparently, customers used to activate their own phones at home (which speeds-up the process), but with some unknown reasons to me, Apple or the phone carrier is activating all the phones this time. Unfortunately, today the company is encountering some server problems related to iTunes, which is bringing longer line and longer wait for the entire process. On the brighter side, I'm glad Apple lowered the price for this edition of iPhone. It seems like the company does not know how much to charge for their phones. Just look at the mess they had with their last edition. I wonder how many customers got enraged with that last incident. 

With Love & Luck,

Video Games

I remember the very first video game that I put my hands on was Street Fighters II by Capcom. I used to stay at my family friend's place the entire afternoon of a weekend or at times after school just to be able to play that violent, fighting game. Couple of years later, my dad got my sister and I our very first Game Boy. I cannot even remember how many games cassettes we got for our console. It did however, involved games with the amazing, round-pink creature called Kirby; of course, no one can leave-out Super Mario Land and Tetris. 

Two weeks ago, my sister and I finally got our Wii Console! Excitement - Excitement - Excitement! We have been aiming on that machine since the day it came out in the market, but due to its availability and price, we decided to postpone our purchase. Finally, after a year of patient wait, the gracious white Wii is sitting next to our elegant T.V., shining and smiling with an amazing grace. What a beautiful lady :) So, the games. I really like the sports games that came with the console. My favorites have to be tennis, baseball, and bowling. Never thought Wii games can make my arm muscles sore and rigid. Definitely an upper-body work-out! Yesterday, my sister and I bought two other new games: Rayman 2 and Super Mario Galaxy. Who would have thought crazy rabbits wanna-be would be so entertaining and can bring new joy to my life. On the other hand, Mario is always great! Impeccably great! Also, I really enjoyed Rayman 1, borrowed from friends. 100% Amusement Guaranteed. 

Quick Thought
I'm craving for some Mexican Wedding Cakes. No silly, it's not a real cake, but shortbread-like cookies that will melt in your mouth. 

With Love & Luck,

Heat Stroke || First Post

Incredibly hot and sticky; or should I say an unbearable weather. What a typical summer in the state of MA. Some rain would be nice, but not those torrential downpours accompanied with thunderstorms. All I am wishing for is a couple of drops to freshen up the atmosphere and bring some coolness to the area. I just don't appreciate the feeling of having to take many cold showers per day and still suffering from the heat once you walk out of the bathroom. 

It is currently 5 A.M. and yes, a night owl is still awake. Somehow I don't feel as sleepy as I should, but definitely going to bed after my first post. This is my first official blog and I'm excited! I've failed many times on keeping one, but this time I'm determined. Probably because I like the template and I just have more to say and share. Anyways, enough said for today and here I come Mr. Bed! Good night or even better, good morning everyone :) 

With Love & Luck
