Well! Vacation's almost over... kinda looking forward to it. Wanna get back home x_X

So, what's up with the weather here anyway? It's perfectly fine if cloudy one second, and the next we get hit with the DOWNPOUR FROM HECK! It's kinda startling. And while we're at it, I'll never get used to the sun going down so late :p

Anyway! Got some more stuff. I found an Adventure! book, which was cool. And we finally managed to talk our dad into letting us buy God Of War (You can easily find PS2 copies in Colombia, but I wanted the original thing >-< 9), damn that's an expensive game.

Still trying to find more Exalted books, the Secret of Zir'an, and possibly Nobilis, but I don't expect to have much luck :p

Laters!

TACOS!

2005-06-07T00:49:38Z

3rd Invader Zim DVD! Yay!

I'm trying to find a few more game books, but not much luck. Also, budget is running out and I know that those books are expensive :/

In particular, I'm thinking of Secret of Zir'an, In Nomine, and maybe Unknown Armies. All of those sound pretty fun.

So much stuff... so little money ;-;

o_o

2005-06-04T22:56:03Z

So, I decided to stay back today. My brother had to go to Boca Raton to see one of the colleges there. I stayed back her and went to a few places, ended up buying the GC version of Soul Calibur 2. I also bumped into Cate Book: Dawn. Yay.

My brother comes back, and he seems to have found a bigass rpg store in Boca Raton. Rar >:/

... and he found... Games of Divinity and Creatures of the Wyld.

I'm not sure if I should kill him and steal his luck or if I should go 'eeeeee!' and thank him.

yaaay vacations!

2005-06-03T12:59:46Z

Well, the usual international flight was pretty blah and the plane food was rather bad, but that's to be expected. So! We arrived to Ft. Lauderdale (not Miami like I thought) and it was raining buckets. Hell, I think it hasn't stopped raining! Prety damn bad traffic if you ask me :p

ok, bitching aside, it's been nice so far. I already bought some stuff, and my brother found the KH:CoM game we were looking for.

And my time's running out. I'll see when I can update again! :p

Vacation return!

2004-07-27T15:44:29Z

SO! I'm back. FINALLY. SO! Here's the story:

We arrived at Miami well enough, and went to the hotel which was in Cocowalk. My mom didn't like it, so we ended up changing the next day and going to Aventura to stay there.

I can't give a day by day recount though, but I -can- give a list of the STUFF! I bought. I'll put it up in the end. Just to give you an idea, we had one bag over the permited limit per person (2 per person). We got THAT much stuff.

On the last day, we left the hotel, got to the airport 3 hours early, had to stand in line for OVER ONE FRIGGIN HOUR to get our bags checked, and immediately had to go to the gates. Blargh. The plane left about 45 minutes late, but we arrived home fast enough and there wasn't much trouble in the airport here. Then we arrived home, I logged in and talked to people (Hi!), and then fell dead on my bed until this morning. GOD I missed by bed.

So, anyway, THE LIST!

2004-07-20T00:27:19Z

Got a bunch of stuff!... and discoved that the WotC store in the Falls mall was closed. Wah.

...Oh, I -might- be staying until sunday. Kinda annoying (I'm -tired-) but the other option is a relay flight that I'm not exactly fond odd. Blargh.

PDA update!

2004-07-19T00:32:46Z

Writing from a PDA!

Got a GC! With RE0, Harvest Moon, and Metroid!

Got the Dragon-blooded Exalted book!

... Damn, this is tiring. Laters!

Second Third report!

2004-07-15T04:59:57Z

Wee! Well, my stay in Philadelphia and surrounding cities has been somewhat less tiring than the first third and prolly the last one. So, lets see...

Thurday: We left Orlando (with the problems I believe I already mentioned) and came to Philadelphia. We had to rent an even bigger van because other people were coming with us, but there was a problem with that: they couldn't the keys. In compensation, they gave us an even BIGGER van. Wooot. There was a problem when a woman who worked there forgot to give my dad his license back, and we had to go and get it again.

Friday: I went to South street! I saw a store thaty made me drool, but I couldn't afford what I really wanted or it was too big to carry confortably in a bag... so I couldn't buy that 45$ Giant Robo figure. *Sob*

Saturday: We went to... King Of Prussia! BIG BIG MALL. Lots of shiny stuff too. Oooh.

Sunday: We went to Washington! Pretty long ride, but then we went to see the monuments and stuff... I do have to say, however, that its a shame the White House was closed off. Also, they were doing some repairs or something on the Capitol and it looked rather... bleh.

Monday: Went to another bigass mall. Oooooh. Shiny

Tuesday: Went to... New Yawk! We visited China Town (Its... like San Andresito in Bogota, really), and 5th avenue. DAMN was I tired at the end.

Wednesday: Today! Well, I went to some shops near South Street, and, late at night... we saw SPIDER MAN 2! YAY! About time too!

So! Tomorrow, Thursday, we'll be leaving for Miami, where I expect to go REALLY crazy with the SHOPPIN'. I don't think I'll be able to update from there until we get home late at night on the 22.

... oh yeah! Lets see, I got a PS2 Harvest Moon ganme (seaving the homeland), and... my brother found a used DVD of teh Nuku Nuku TV eps. MAN its spazzy.

... Oh! And I got my little cousin hooked on GIR from Invader Zim. Heehee.

First third vacation report!

2004-07-09T00:08:16Z

OK! Let's see now. I do believe everybody knows that I'm currently on the States (natch) on vacation. This first third we spent in the area of Orlando and the Disney and Universal parks, so here's what happened so far:

First day: I COULDN'T SLEEP. GARGH. I only slept for, like, an hour before we had to leave for the airport. Things went fairly smootly there though. Whew. The flight was... bleh. There was supposed to be a movie on board and music you could hear, but none worked. And the chairs killed me. Blargh.

So, we arrived to Miami. So we go and get our rent car, make a stop in Circuit City to check out stuff (I bought Metroid Zero Mission there. Booya). We are, BTW, traveling with my uncle, whose rent van has a GPS. So we drop someplace else to drop my grandma there (who -also- came with us) and then leave to Kissemee (or however you spell it). However, its beggining to get late. SOMEHOW, we manage to miss our uncle and follow the wrong van. We proceed to get lost for the next hours while we find our way to the Turnpike. We arrive to our rent house (which is -TOO FAR AWAY-) at about midnight. And we arrive before our uncle does to boot!

Second day: We wake up late and decide to not go to any park, so we end going to to a few Outlets and stuff.

Third day: Island of Adventure! Pretty kickass, but GOD do my feet hurt.

Fourth day: Universal Studios! See above.

Fifth day: Too tired for parks. So we go to the Florida Mall. See above statement about feet. OTOH, I get Shining Force. My brother finds the Exalted Player's Guide and buys it. Woot. I guess. :P

... on, and I found an Invader Zim DVD, and then an old robot show (in a discount bin).

Sixth day: We go to Blizzard Beach, and leave fairly early. We arrive home, take a bath, relax and rest a bit, and then we go out again. Where?

Downtown Disney. CIRQUE DU SOLEIL. Oh my fuicking GOD did it rock. DVDs don't make it justice. There's usually so much stuff going at once that you don't know where to look! We left feeling, overall, very, very pleased.

Seventh day: We didn't do much besides some shopping. We were going to go to Epcot but didn't for some reason =/

Eight day: Departure day! We left the house early and left my uncle and family behind. The airport had a few problems with our bags being overweight, but... eh. We arrived to Philadelphia at around 1pm... and now we are here! We expect to go to NY and Washington for a day or so.

That's it for now!

Well, its been a while...

Ghosts o_o

2004-01-15T06:08:05Z

I was playing Fatal Frame 2 yesterday.

I cannot seem to sleep today.

The game has me THAT FUCKING scared. Gah.

Resume of trip

2004-01-05T01:14:51Z

Weee, so, I'm back, so I might as well point out a few things. I guess :P

I cannot standt the heat very well, but San Andres has wind most of the time, so it wasn't all that bad.

San Andres is small, you can take a trip around the island in one hour in a normal car. Maybe even less.

People in the island is laaazy... business are not open from 12 to 3pm for lunch. They usually close around 8pm.

There are bikes EVERYWHERE.

The color of the sea is purty. It has something like four different tones at times.

The trip back wasn't -too- bad. I kille dtiome playing KoF 2002, Metal Slug 4, and Pump It Up. We arrived to the airport at 9pm, and the plane left at 11pm. I killed time playing Golden Sun in the meanwhile.

The moon was -bright-, so we could see stuff below clearly enough during the trip. It was a nice sight. We killed time in the airplane playing word games :p

In the airport, we had to wait something like 10 minutes for the bags to even arrive. of course, it was 1am. Blah.

We got picked up by the friend with our car. Apparently, it has some sort of damage that means the cabin gets filled with carbon monoxide if the windows are -open-, curiously enough. Have to get thayt fixed.

Arrived home at... what, 2am? Logged in, said hi, went to bed after a while.

I -missed- my bed. Oi.

Vacations, Day Last (yay)

2004-01-03T22:06:12Z

Wee. So, its still early, but I might as well.

So, after we checked out at 1pm, we went around the city to eat lunch (Pasta. Yum.), and do some last minute shopping.

Not to be outdone by Rex, I bought the original GoldenSun. Natch.

We also got a huge plushie pink elephant thingie for my littlest cousin. Its cuddly.

So... dazzit. Its 5pm, and we'll be leaving in the plane at 11pm past. We'll be arriving back to Bogota at 1am or so. Blargh.

So, I'll see ya later tonite. If I'm not too tired :P

And stay tuned for Vacations: Teh Movie!

... yeah.

Vacations, Day 5, Or: Turtle

2004-01-03T01:28:45Z

So, today, I... walked... and walked... and walked... and walked.

I kinda feel like my feet are about to fall off.

Anyway, today, my brother got Golden Sun: The Lost Age (Weeee). Me? I got a plush turtle.

Remember that bigass turtle I mentioned before? ... Well, its not that one. Its a tiny little palm sized turtle plushie.

Its cuddly.

Turtle ^-^

Tomorrow promises to be a boring day. Chekout is at 1pm. Our flight is at 11pm or so. This leaves us with 9-10 hours of being in a tiny island without a hotel room. Fun.

... but, on the other hand: turtle ^-^

Vacations, day 4

2004-01-01T22:40:07Z

If there's a reason I don't like spending the New Year elsewhere from my home, is that there is -NOTHING TO DO- elsewhere >:/

SO, today, I've... slept... and slept... and slept... and then i rode on a jetsky (it was fun)... and then I slept... and then I went for a walk... and then I slept some more.

I think stores here will only be open late afternoon/early evening. Maybe I'll drag my parents out or something.

... or maybe I'll just sleep some more. :P

Vacations, day 3

2004-01-01T01:22:39Z

Well, not much happened today. Went to the beath, then I went to another beach... and just recently I was out for a walk, so I'm pretty damn friggin tired. Bought some stuff too.

And, you know? San Andres has... zero traffic laws. I have yet to see a single traffic sign beyong "Do not park here" and no street lights. Kids can be seen driving some cars too.

Its madness. MADNESS I tell you. MADNESS!!

... oh. Happy New Year. And stuff.

Vacation, day two. Or: OMFG BIKES

2003-12-31T02:31:26Z

San Andres has something interesting: 1 out of every 3 people own a motorcycle, and they are available for rent too!

So, today, I drove around on the little golf car and on a bike. Ate ceviche (dunno how to call it in english), and drove with my family around the island.

Another interesting thing: I think everybody in San Andres can speak english, and many stuff and posts have the words in english instead of spanish.

I saw this HUGE turtle plushie I fell in love in, but its kinda out of our budget --;

... other than that, we... slept in the hotelroom a lot :P

Oh, and I miss my bed. Rar.

Vacations, day 1

2003-12-30T02:40:33Z

Ok, so, I got dragged to vacation with the family to the island of San Andres. This is a tiny island, in the caribean (if my geography doesn't suck), which is of Colombian nationality.

So: flight. Ok. around 1:30 hours. However, the sun hit our side of the plane and the damn wind-blower thingie didn't work right. Food was a sandwhich. Bleh.

Arrival. The San Andres airport is windowless and hot. Also, they somehow managed to leave around 40 bags behind in the trip... including one of ours. They said it would arrive at 10pm today. I certainly hope so >:/

San Andres is not a bad city. We arrived somewhat late in teh afternoon, so the sun wasn't too hot. Our hotel is -very- nice, and has its own private beach and stuff.

My dad came with the idea of renting a golf car (which double for "tourist cars" here, I guessto travel the island. Very good idea, actually. We don't have to walk about that much.

San Andres' shops are, BTW, -cheap-. Mom found a perfume at about half-prize of what is worth back in Bogota. Woo.

The golf car broke down twice. It apparently didn't like the idea of its lights being on. Luckily we had a phonenumber to call to.

And we return to the hotel. Among other reasons I think its cool, is because... I have some computer access here! Oh, and there's an small arcade with KoF 2002 and a DDRish game right outside, so its all cool.

Not a bad first day, all in all :P

So, um, yeah, if I don't know you (what are you doing here anyway?), just see my profile. And stuff.

I don't think I'll be posting -too- often, but who knows?
