Zooposedly Zoobic. = Impromptu Awesome Zambales Beach Trip!

Independence Day plans as of June 9: Anawangin beach bumming, island hopping experience.
-It was sometime May. Just a few days after our Sagada adventures. Still pretty high about our recent adventures, craved for more. Called up my adventure-mates. Planned another get-away plus more. Everyone was game, + a few others as well! The plans were rolling, everything was set!

Independence Day plans as of June 5: Anawangin beach bumming, island hopping experience.
-I texted the boatman in Anawangin to inquire about possible expenses and boating trips. Said they weren't accepting for the weekend. I said we were coming the next weekend. Asked for me to wait and see til Thursday to confirm weather conditions. We were persuasive. We still wanted to go. So it was still leaning towared let's do this!

Independence Day plans as of June 10: Zoobic + Ocean Adventure
-Weather still seems to be unpredictable. Asked the boatman again, said they still weren't accepting because of the waves. We could go by trekking but what good would it be without the island hopping adventure! Thought of going to Museo Pambata, but Peter just laughed. Suggested Zoobic and Ocean Adventure, at least we'll be having a roadtrip!

Independence Day plans as of June 11: Zoobic + Ocean Adventure + Whatever happens.
-Zoobic and Ocean Adventure still on the lead. Had more people than we had cars. Plans still weren't final. We were just, "meh, whatever happens!"

Independence Day plans as of June 12, 6-9am: Zoobic + Ocean Adventure + Whatever happens.
-This is it! We were on our way to Subic! It was just Jensen, Riva, Ricco, Xima, Peter and I. We were on the PeterPan-Mobile! Peter and Riva were having doubts about going to Zoobic. People said it's corney. But what the hell where else could we go! Stopped over to have McDonalds at nlex. Still no other ideas but Zoobic and Ocean Adventure.

Independence Day plans as of June 12, 1030am: Go to where Anna Castro is :)
-Reached Zoobic. Their website said it's around 300+. But really it's 440. Didn't seem quite interesting with the added doubts of people around me. Was also thinking of going to the beach! Peter said he hasn't been to a beach for 4 years. Remembered that Anna was on a surfing trip in Zambales. Hey! We're just an hour away from Zamba! Let's go!

Independence Day plans as of June 12, 1230am: Zambales Baybeh!
-Reached Liwaliwa in San Felippe at around 1230am. Upon arrival, left right away to have lunch at Dude's Pizza Shop. Food was delicious! Pizza, and their chicken. But service was terrible. It was just a small restaurant afterall, they probably weren't expecting such a big group.

Went back to the beach at around 230. Set up camp, Peter had his borrowed tent and his sleeping bag in the car for Anawangin, so we used it nonetheless. Swam for a while, waves were horrible! It really is a place for surfing. Not much of a place for swimming! It was fun, but scary and difficult! Took pictures everywhere. While the others went back for a few more surfs! Luigi's my favorite subject :) I wanna go back to the beachh!! Was such a short trip. Saw Sha there too! She suggested a dinner place, Xtremely Xpresso Cafe.

BIG HIGHLIGHT OF THE TRIP: DINNER!! Xtremely Xpresso was the best!!! The pizza, GOOD.. The Iced Tea, GOOD.. The Cream of Mushroom, GOOD.. The Ribs, AWESOME!

Here's to more adventures! Had so much fun! Nikki, finally! We got to go faaarr!! Sa uultin :)

Here are some shots I took on the trip: More shots in multiply.

The Sims 3

Since it's been taking up too much of my **sleep and socializing time, I've decided Sims 3 actually deserved a blogpost.

Now, I've been addicted to The Sims since the very first installment. Getting to control the life of someone, how could I resist! It basically took most of my days, since my days then just consisted of going to school, and going home. Yes, I didn't have much of a life back then so The Sims was all I had. It used to be such a mindless game, and I remember also not doing much else because of it. I got to play with Livin Large, Hot Date, House Party, and Vacation. But didn't really go much past that. It got tiring after the next few expansions. Well, once all your sim has completed up all skill points, and can basically go through a whole career in 10 days, there's really nothing more you can do.

Next up was the Sims2. It had a lot of different upgrades. Instead of your usual sims just living everyday, earning up skill points, and getting promoted, Your sim can actually get old and die. It could give birth, and the baby would grow up, and soon enough would also die. Now for some reason, this is the least game I got hooked on. But I do remember getting frustrated because I can't play it on my computer, but once I got my laptop, I really played it for hours on end, but I think only for around a week or so.

Ok so the 3rd installment has already been released, and already I've given up so much because of it. Since I didn't really play the second installment that much, I can't really give an in depth comparison, but this much I can tell, I'm definitely hooked on this one! I'm already on the 3rd generation of my family. I only created 1 original sim, they just keep on procreating.

Here's a picture of my first Sim, Bruce Awesome. He used to be hot, but sadly I didn't take any photos of him when he was still a young adult, to an adult. I only started taking screenshots whe he was already an elder. :(. He got to the age of 100, and he got to the level 10 of his field, and succeeded in becoming an Astronaut, his lifetime accomplishment. He was athletic, a flirt, lucky, and ok I forgot the rest of his features. He was great at his job, and he was great with his kids. He will be missed!

This is Alice. I only have 1 picture of her. She's the wife of my Sim. I can't really remember where they met? Haha! She's a little older than Bruce, so she died earlier too. But I didn't do much with her. She was unemployed when they married, so she just took care of their too girls.




Adrianne, Bruce and Alice's first child. She was born before wedlock. ;)) I didn't get to name her, but I got Alice and Adrianne to move in with Bruce when Adrianne was still a toddler. She's growing up to be a fine woman. She in the field of medicine, and is currently a trauma surgeon. She got to have a romantic relationship with Christopher, an old guy. He was just an adult when they started doing it, but suddenly celebrated his birthday a few days after they hooked up! :| They tried to make a baby at one point but didn't succeed. Tried again, then succeeded a day before Christopher died. So now Adrianne's a single mom with TWINS, darcy and Darcy. I didn't notice that Adrianne had twins so I "oopsiely" gave the twins the same name :|










Chloe. She's Bruce and Alice's second baby. Adrianne was already a toddler when I decided to get them to do it one more time. ;) She's been quite ambitious, with a career in being a criminal. She's still dreaming of going into the dark side! She already got through all 10 skill points for Athletic, still young in her years. She's currently wed with Chris Pena, who's just a few days younger than her. Surprisingly, while Chloe is in the criminals department, Chris is in the Police Department! Good thing their careers don't intercept with their marriage, else Chris would probably already have had her arrested! Around a day after Adrianne gave birth, Chloe gave birth to a healthy boy, I named Spock. For some reason I've been thinking of the name while she was giving birth! Haha!

The 3 babies are still infants, so I haven't had any screenshots of them yet. Maybe tomorrow :)

This was the first screenshot I took. I was just so alarmed to have seen a ghost, and then a few hours later, she was sleeping!! So I just had to take a screenshot!





This is a screenshot of Chris and Chloe making love. This is when the new baby, Spock was conceived!






OH I JUST LOVE BEING IN CONTROL :)

**I've been sleeping at around 2am everyday except for give or take a day or two. Then last Friday, I wasn't able to go online right away because of some internet problems, usually it'll just take about less than 5 minutes to restart the modem, but I forgot to turn it on again until 2 hours after playing. Then last Saturday(I'm so sorry Shelley!!), I wasn't able to turn on my cellphones the whole day because I was playing. Do Not Disturb. Haha! Plus, I keep on not replying to people's YM because of that. Haha! I had to result to using the Window Mode just so that I won't ignore everyone.
