December 1, 2008; Yuletide Season on full swing!

Here in the Philippines, it is customary that when the last syllable of a month ends in -BER starts, it's already Christmas. People already start building up their Christmas trees, they also start putting on those decorations like the lights, banners and what nots. Also, Christmas bazaars sprout on every corner, even inside villages. Truly indeed, that Christmas here in the Philippines is the most happiest, to say the least.

Our college, or should I say, faculty (of Pharmacy) week has just concluded. I would say that it was better than last year, kudos to the organizing team. Our block had a great float. This year's theme was "Different Countries", and the country we picked was Polynesia, which turned out to be good, because it was fairly easy. But I THINK, if our class sticked to the first plan, which was Afghanistan, it would have turned out to be better. (just an opinion). The only downside to the Afghan plan is that it would be more expensive, so there. Overall, it was a fun week.

Also, last week, I played NBA 2K9 on PC, and it blew my eyes! The graphics were great, it's already in HD, so you can really see the similarities of it to the real thing! It was a cool game! It blew the NBA Live series, which pulled away their PC version. Kudos to the developers!

And now, back to the real thing, as I now bring to you the latest from the world of sports!
