A very, very Happy New Year to everyone!

Let us all welcome 2010, the start of the new decade and the year of The Metal Tiger. Rawr!

Finally got off my butt and BlueToothed a couple of photos from my trusty N95 and into my brand-spanking-new black Sony Vaio CW15. Before I start the media sharing blitz, I would like to congratulate Gill, an old Internet friend from so many years back, on the acquisition of her gorgeous new domain, Fascination.nu.

My baby and I spent New Year’s Eve and the wee morning hours of 1st January 2010 at Jetz Grill in Qurum, where we won lots of prizes from various fun games. In fact, I still say that we are the undisputed champions of the Apple Dance Competition, hands down!

Welcoming 2010 in Qurum. Happy New Year – and smile!

Before having our masarap buffet dinner of classic Filipino fiesta treats, we visited Ruwi for a bit of shopping. There were a lot of stores with year-end sales and we got excellent bargains, particularly with (fake) Lacoste sports shirts.

I found this colorful and cute Pokemon Pikachu watch in one of the timepiece shops near Al Fair Ruwi. I got a discounted price for this when I bought a pink Snoopy watch along with it. Of course, I now wear my Pika-watch everywhere. Be very envious!

Pika! Pika! Pika! My first ever Pokemon watch, can you believe it?

I have been a big fan of YouTube of late, largely due to free time during the holidays. I cleaned up and restructured my YouTube page, where I will now post my personal videos as well as bookmark my favorite ones.

Here is the first video I uploaded, starring, of course, my well-loved Japanese Spitz Pikachu. This was shot sometime in 2007, before I went to Oman to seek my fortune.

All together now: Pika! Pika!
