Subaru Forester 2008 Launch

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

I attended the Subaru Forester Launch with my dad last July 2, 2008 at EDSA Shangri-la Hotel. It was a great event, with lots of food, drinks and cool gifts. The new model is superb and definitely roomier than the previous model. They also redesigned the exterior and looks more modern than the 2007 model which I already own.

We didn’t get to explore the vehicle that much while in the event because we were enjoying the finely cooked roast beef they served!  We can always get to see the car some other time and even test drive it. Hehe.

Check out what they gave to those who attended. It’s definitely adorable! XD

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

(DS version)

fft a2 Just like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Fuuketsu no Grimoir takes place in Ivalice. There are seven playable races in the game: Hume, Moogle, Viera, Bangaa, Seeq, Nu Mou and Gria. Chronologically, the game takes place some time after Final Fantasy XII.

Similar to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Luso was a mischievous boy who lived in the real world until he was punished for a prank he pulled just before summer break. Locked away in the library, Luso finds an old book and writes his name on it. The book then transports him into the world of Ivalice. Rather than wishing to return home, Luso decides to venture the world farther. However, unlike in the previous installment, the main character travels to the real Ivalice, instead of a creation of his imagination born of strong feelings; this fact is reinforced by the reappearances of familiar characters such as Vaan and Penelo.
