Let me see...

A brand spanking new Dell Inspiron 1510 laptop. In blue, from my parents.

Younger sis gave me a Mr Bill action figure, Nun-Chuck (LOL) and a Mr T keychain.

2 Best Buy gift cards, each worth 25 bucks (which I spent on the sub-only version of Gurren Lagann, all 3 volumes); rare silver dollars; complete Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy trilogy (actually five books) and a book about the queens who got killed, all from my mom's side of the family.

From my dad's side I got The Dark Knight and Batman Begins on Blu-ray Disc (WOOHOO! The only other BD I have is Paprika!), the 2009 Guinness Book, Animal Crossing City Folk (again, WOOHOO!) and some cool shirts.

Also, I got Grave of the Fireflies on DVD (after years of searching for it), and the usual stocking stuffers (Zotz candies that fizz in your mouth, Sour Razzles, gloves, a book light, and cinammon toothpaste).

But the best gift of all: my Play Asia order of the game Tadashii Kanji Kakitori-kun finally shipped. I <3 Play Asia! And Kakitori-kun is one of the best 40 bucks I've spent on a DS game.

A little like him. a sword would help the reemblence, though. The apologetics bible looked pretty interesting.

I got a Rubik's Cube.

Oh yes. It frightened me. I let that thing sit on my desk unopened for 2 days; I knew that opening the package could be very dangerous.

Then I did it. I opened it. And I just held it for a while. It wasn't scrambled, and it looked so pretty. For a day, it sat there, unscrambled.

Yes... Yes I did. I scrambled it. If it was originally unscrambled, it should be possible to unscramble it.

My GF sat me down the past few nights (not Christmas or Christmas eve, however) and had me watch Saw 1-3 with her. Put a bomb in a Rubik's cube and
weld thumbtacks to each square and you got the next part of the Saw story right there.

So to Google I went and spent a few hours, mastering some of the algorithms used to solve a Rubik's cube. Now, I can do it under 5 minutes. I feel accomplished.

Oh, I also got the game "Bully" for the Wii. Dare I play it?

Thanks to God, a nice mother whom he has blessed me with.

I got the following for Christmas but did not check any of the gifts out till the next days.

Platinum Hits of Assassins Creed
Another copy of Rainbow Six Vegas also in the platinum Hits case( both this and Rainbow Six Vegas 2 are great 360 games)

James Bond Quantum of Solace for the Xbox 360, which is a great Bond video game but has technical issues..

Another copy of Mass Effect for the 360

Infinite Undiscovery

And Left4 Dead all of which for the Xbox 360


five anime boxset( complete collections)

Mobile Suit Gundam Seed collections vol 1 and 2

Fate Stay Night( I'm glad there are no sex scenes in it, like the earlier video games have them which is just not right)

Please Teacher

Kiddy Grade

A military themed hoodie in which I posted self portraits of myself in some weeks back.

And a copy of the anime fil;m Jin Roh the Wolf Brigade( one of the best anime films depicting the world of esiponage and Special Operations imo)


Microsoft Office Home and student 2007
\
And more importantly a loving mother, brother, other family and true friends all of which are a blessing from the one and true wonderful God.
Some of my favorite scriptures.

Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.



James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.



Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
