Happy holidays, pplz. I went to a Christmas party yesterday, and I am proud to announce that I have successfully collected $232 from my relatives.

Hope you all are having an awesome Christmahanukwanzaa!

Man, it's a little over two weeks 'til Christmas, and I still don't know what I want as a gift.

One part of me is telling me to ask my relatives for money to save up for a computer upgrade. I want to run my games faster and more efficiently...Iw ant to run games like Crysis, Crysis Warhead, and other games to come in the futuremore efficiently.

Another part of me is telling me to forget about asking them for money, and instead, ask for one game like I always do. After all, at the '05 Christmas party, my six aunties and uncles whom I had asked for ten dollars each only gave my less than $40 total. I couldn't complain, but I was disappointed. I wanted my xbox 360

But then I thought to myself: why ask for a game like I always do when I can ask for it when ever I want? Hell, I can ask for a game even if it's not Christmas! Why waste such a special opportunity to own something bigger and badder?

That's why I've sort of blended two of these ideas together to form one idea...

I will ask for money for Christmas and my birthday (which is in February, yay me!), and I will add that with my Chinese New Year money. If my relatives decide to give me at least (at the very least) $100 total for Christmas and my birthday, I will have $200 or more, including Chinese New Year money.

I will continue to save money (maybe even 'til next year's Christmas party) until I have around $300 - $400. Then I could either upgrade or buy something like a Wii or a PS3 OR buy a game. Because even if I ask for money this Christmas, I won't have enough for something big. Therefore, I shall wait.

I went looking for games on Friday and Saturday, and from what I've seen, many of the ads for Game Stop and Best Buy are lies. I was very disappointed and dissatisfied by the stores that I went to (). I didn't buy anything on those two days, so I'll try again at other stores today.

Anyway, how was your Thanksgiving? Did you stuff yourself and gain twenty pounds? More importantly, how is your gaming coming along? We're all aware of World at War and other big-name titles that were released already, so are you guys having fun with them?

I've personally been playing L4D non stop. It's fun but I'm concerned about it's replayability. After all, there are only two game modes, including single player. Versus mode is quite frantic for both teams, and I feel it ends too quickly most of the time. 

Well, that's all I have to say before school starts again. Today marks the last day of my Thanksgiving vacation. It is officially time to look for ward to Christmas!
