Of Reads and Plays

Just wanna feel like writing something today, as it has always been a therapy for me. Like traveling and having a good read, it keeps my sanity intact.

So posting to give a quick update of what's cooking up with me. Open the pot!

Well...

Been reading (1).

In my usual reading and comprehension rate, I could finish a 400-pager novel in 5 days or a week. But ofcourse since I have work, and I'm at my busiest, I can only read like an hour or two before my eyes get all heavy and I doze off to ZZZZzzz-land every night.

My latest read is about fallen angels.

I don't know, but it may be because my second name is Angelo or that I was an angel in my past life, atleast that's what I would like to believe; that  I am fascinated by these immaculately beautiful creatures of the heavens. They are like the most pristine, Godly, delicate, flawless, closest-to-perfection thing there is.

Wait. 

(Is  this just coincidence, or what? My music player suddenly played the song "Angels", David Archuleta cover. Goosebumps).

Zapped! Back to what I was saying. 

So there, I'm back to reading after a year-long of unofficial book-leave. I'm halfway through it and I plan to finish the novel this weekend, resuming tonight until tomorrow.

Well...

Been playing (2).

I was one of the luckier kids growing up. Was able to play Family Computer. You know, Super Mario, Contra (Up up, Down down, Left right left right, Start and voila, 30 Lives!), Galaga, Battle City, and all those gizmo games.

I won't consider myself as game buff, but I'd say game enthusiast. Played PC games, Playstation 1 and 2, PSP, RPG games, and all. 

Now in the time of Apple and Androids, applications take my time. Presenting my favorite game applications to date:

Icon Pop Quiz. May sound and look like simple, but wait til about the 3rd rounds and up on every category, you'll feel dumb.

The Ultimate Logo Quiz: This one's a classic. It requires that you need to be a keen observer and with excellent photographic memory. A good grasp of American pop and culture will also greatly help.

Mind you, they are one effin' good play. You might find them addicting with their power to rack your brain out, like what's shown below:
