kwentuhan 2008

Just bought my first DS game:

Well technically it’s not a "game," more like a series  of brain-tingling tests para raw maging ‘alert’ ang brain.

So why Brain Age?  That’s because before this "game" can actually "train your brain in minutes a day," it has to measure your brain age first. Diagnostic test in other words.

Depending on how well you perform in a test or a set of tests, you will be given a starting brain age.

For example, ako, si Jay Gavarra na 21 years old. So what’s my brain age? Tangna, 63 years old! Yep, I need some training. Badly. Kaya pala hanggang ngayon ‘di ko pa rin alam ang pasikut-sikot ng Glorietta. Pero compared kay Jessica at kay Inay (na parehong naka-80) mukhang healthy pa ako. Mukha.

Amusing naman ang mga tests. May simple Math calculations (!), mga how-fast-can-you-read tests, memorization, etc. Challenging and interesting. And since Brain Age tracks your progress everyday, there’s always a reason to ‘play’ this ‘game.’

One reason kung bakit ko siya binili (aside from the fact na 1,300 lang siya compared sa bibilhin kong Animal Crossing na 2,200) e dahil gusto kong maging ‘videogame ambassador’ para sa nanay ko (na ang alam lang ay Tetris at, well, Tetris).

Aba, gumana naman. Noong una parang na-offend yata kasi pinapalaro ko siya ng game that could train her brain ("Ano’ng akala mo sa ‘kin, Jay?" sabi ni Inay Nelia), pero nag-enjoy naman siya.

Tapos pati mga kapatid ko nakisalo na rin. Wow, family time. Contest kung sino ang may pinakabatang Brain Age.

By the way, bago ako bumalik ng QC, pinapaiwan ng mama ko yung DS para makapag-Brain Train siya. Sabi ko na lang, "Adik!"

Current BRAIN AGE ng pamilya (except Jesper):

Inay Nelia: 65

Jay: 53

Julie: 44

Jessica: 45
