Seems other than the January entry by Zak, there doesn't seem to have any posts in the blog. Might as well make a year end review as to what happened between that post and this.
Zak: Zak was able to purchase around five of the ten items in his purchase order. Mostly this was done in the early part of the year. There seems to be some cash flow problems encountered in the latter part of the year and thus purchases have been a little tight.
Gene: A couple of blog games have beens started but there haven't been anything finished. It's possible that it's the nature of the way the game itself which causes the lack of interest amoungst the players. Gene has talked with Rourke and a change in the structure of the game is underway. Hopefully, this will work once they start it out next year.
An interesting note here is that Gene took up playing M:tG again with Jun and his group. Though it feels like more of a distraction rather than something serious. (Though Zak would say otherwise as playing M:tG does dent his forecasts)
DK: A Singapore trip was eventually made in the latter part of the year, thought nothing significant happened while the host was there. It was mostly some R&R and some more "R&R". Hopefully next year a job can be found as well as something more substuntial.
Chuck: A couple of great movies came out this year - Star Trek, Avatar, etc. Nothing significant though in Asian cinema other than BOF.
Miguel: As for me, this year has been partly interesting. There were no serious relationships that occured this year, though there were a couple of significant impact to the host. There was JB, an 23 year old Atenean and Albert who's a 29 year old doctor and ex-model. Both relationships lasted for a month or so but in the end it just didn't work out. That's probably why, I'm single again this Christmas - but then again nothing new there.
That's all I can think of for now. I'll try to do some more posts and updates in the coming year.
Zak: 2009 Purchase Order
Labels:

The last couple of years have been pretty weird on the Host's budget. A great influx in the prior prior year and a major out flow during the last year has caused us to rethink our spending patterns. A quick review of the previous year's purchases show that most of the purchases are considered to be impromptu purchases - those done in a spur of the moment decision which would result to a product of of less quality than originally thought of or at worse something that would not be actually brought to use.
In light of this, a short list was passed among the different voices to find out the wants and needs in order to facilitate the budget for the current year. Here's what they came out with:
1) Samsung G400 phone - our current phone is busted with the keypad and camera unrepairable.
2) Adidas Megabounce running shoes - our current pair is showing up wear and tear for being used almost everyday. Lloyd is stating that a new pair might be needed as a number of 10k runs might be conducted this year.
3) GAP tweed backpack - our current backpack is fraying on the edges. One can't even close the zippers withour catching the frayed edges with the teeth.
4) Converse black leather chuck taylors - our current pair od chucks (which alternates with our rubber shoes) is also showing wear and (mostly) tears from being used too often.
5) Polo Explorer cologne/perfume - (want) we really haven't finished off our aqua di gio (and I doubt we would) but in case we do plan to buy one perfume this will be the one on the list.
6) N.O.-Xplode - pre-workout drink that Lloyd wants to try on in the months prior to the annual holy week beach trip. Seems it should work with a lean physique better than other drinks
(Update: Lloyd has purchased this in advance in anticipation of using it once the year starts.)
7) Nike Work-out Gloves - again our current pair is showing some wear and tear (there's actually a big hole in the thumb portion on the right glove which threatens to cut off the thumb part as well as quite bothersome when lifting weights).
8) Mini-me standup - (want) there's a shop at glorietta that caught Gene's eye. It seems they might be able to produce a small replica of one's character. The shop's reputation is not quite good though and it might be better to hold off until we have checked the one at Rockwell.
9) Character Art by Kenjiart or Elpinoy - (want) in the prior year, we have contacted some local artists and they have expressed their availability to draw some character portraits. Gene, however, still hasn't figured out which character could be best drawn to represent the current 4e games.
10) Korean dvd movies - there are a couple of movies which came out in the theaters in korea in the previous year but is yet to be released this year. Chuck wants a copy of these:
* Antique - a movie based on the manga/anime
* Boy meets boy - a short silent art film (another basis for the project)
* A frozen flower - new korean martial arts / wuxia film
