Just for Kicks

I needed a laugh for today, so I found these funny videos at YouTube.

I would have never thought that leashes for guinea pigs existed, especially for hamsters.You can easily find these leashes for sell at Ebay *What a surprise* It's pretty bizarre to see a person walking their pet hamster, yet is pretty darn cute.



I puppy crying like a baby? Yup. Is this puppy papillon thirsty? "agua, agua..", or making a desperate call to get out of his pen "I want, I want OUT", wait wait this puppy is calling me by name! "Ewwick, Eric, I want out! Well, that's what my mom and sister think. Pretty weird huh.



This is hilarious. Just look at mother panda's reaction near the end of video.

Aficionado

I've been wanting to sell my PlayStation 2 games for quite some time now. So, I made a list of my ps2 game library and was surprised to find out how many I have. Now that I bought a next generation gaming system, the PlayStation 3, I need to sell some of my old games! It gets pretty expensive when it comes to entertainment, so I've found many ways to save me some cash.
  • Don't Trade in you're games to you're local game store ( You don't really get that much in return)
  • You usually, get more profit by selling games online. You just need to find the right online shopping service that can help you sell you're stuff (I'm currently using Amazon and Ebay)
  • Buying games online saves you money.
  • Keep you're games in good condition. The better the quality the more likely the shopper will buy your games at a higher price.
  • When selling your game, make it clear what you're selling. (For example: Game is in good condition, with book manual and game case, etc...)
  • To help you save money try looking for online promotional/coupon codes. Doing this helped me save over $80 dollars + free shipping when buying the PS3 console ( I use Retail Me Not, The Bargainist, Only Coupons, Promotional Codes, and My Coupons)
  • And of course, know your limits. If you can't afford it, then you should restrain from buying it. (Duh)
  • Be patient (Maybe, after a couple of weeks or so a sale might go on or the price gets reduced)
These are just the basic principles. It's my way of saving money when it comes to selling/buying stuff. If you don't want to sell you're games, just give them to some one you know. Give the games to a friend, cousin, nephew, niece who can play them. Make sure it's something that they will like and don't give it to them as a Birthday gift or Christmas present! (In my opinion, that's inappropriate) Unless you have a very good reason to...

So, below is the list of the PS2 games I own.











These are just ps2 games...I still have PC, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast, Gameboy (Pocket & SP), Nintendo DS games, and even that Atari 2600 that my brother and sister left me. Yeah, I'm a gamer.

Enjoying Spring Break

I'm back at my hometown for the spring break and enjoying the days with my family. Though, it's going to be a bit dull this coming week, since my sister and mom are going back to school.

I'm hoping that it will not rain today, so that we can transplant the yellow hibiscus and the marigolds my parents bought yesterday, Saturday. They've done a great change to the backyard. The pine tree, well it's some sort of an evergreen tree, was finally transplanted in the backyard. This backyard had its ups and downs throughout the years, but this year that fluctuation is coming to a halt. It's weed free and better than before. All it needs is a little more caring along with helping the new plants to adapt to these new grounds and it's bound to be a beautiful backyard. I really believe that we should do more family home projects...I enjoy them. Knowing that my family and I are having fun together, whether it be playing a game of blokus, scrabble, or transforming a bedroom into an entertainment room, really brings out the true family spirit.

My mom and sister had their break this week and mine is just starting...well at least I'm back at home knowing that "i miei genetori e la mia sorellina" are doing fine.

I also wanted to post these interesting videos I found about Italian gestures. I'm taking ITL 506 at UT Austin and wanted to use a different type of learning resource, so I decided to view some Italian videos.

When I viewed this video I was surprised to know that it was a UT Austin study abroad program video.




I also found these two videos interesting
