October 19, 2008; Home Improvement! 10!

I woke up at around 8 am today, therefore, I wasn't able to play basketball! I will try to make it up next weekend! I will sleep earlier on Friday and Saturday so that I would be able to play!

Yesterday, I helped my parents build the shoerack right from the box. I was kinda easy to do, even without the help of the manual, because it was just like a puzzle. A little hammering here and there, and voula (pronounced as vwu-a-la), the shoebox was built. Tomorrow, we will build the other shoebox we bought a while ago from MegaMall, so it will be another tasky day!

The usual day for me. Ate breakfast, soundtrip with my 'Pod, watched TV, ate lunch, slept a little, woke up, took a bath, went to SM MegaMall at around 4 pm to buy some stuff for home improvement and some last sale shopping. Haha! I bought 3 games for my PSP! NBA Live 09, Madden NFL 09 and FIFA 09! And damn it was worth it! The graphics were amazing, and so as the gameplay! I recommend these games especially to those sports junkies like yours truly! So there!
