A mob of fun-loving zombies is about to invade your home, and your only defense is an arsenal of 49 zombie-zapping plants. Use peashooters, wall-nuts, cherry bombs and more to mulchify 26 types of zombies before they can reach your front door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each zombie has its own special skills, so you’ll need to think fast and plant faster to combat them all. But be careful how you use your limited supply of greens and seeds… as you battle the fun-dead, obstacles like a setting sun, creeping fog and a swimming pool add to the challenge.

bold;"&gt;Philippines&lt;/span&gt; which houses several &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;tourist spots&lt;/span&gt; that the country is being proud of. It is approximately two and a half hours from Manila proper and is strategically located at the southern coast of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Metro Manila &lt;/span&gt;where you can find &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Anilao&lt;/span&gt;, which is known for its &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;diving sites&lt;/span&gt;. Here you can also find &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Taal Volcano&lt;/span&gt; and Taal lake and of course, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tagaytay&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9hZKTOOT4Pw/SPpIy1YXGHI/AAAAAAAABRY/G9oOXYUp3G0/s1600-h/laiya.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9hZKTOOT4Pw/SPpIy1YXGHI/AAAAAAAABRY/G9oOXYUp3G0/s400/laiya.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258595553068390514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;There are a lot of things to do in Batangas that a short vacation will not do.  You can see caged tigers, swim in their one-of-a-kind swimming place where the reef is carved at the foot of the ladders to make it as a small swimming area, snorkel at &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sombrero island &lt;/span&gt;to see the beautiful colors of various corals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9hZKTOOT4Pw/SPpKsh-TWZI/AAAAAAAABRo/zZm_re0rCJQ/s1600-h/laiya2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9hZKTOOT4Pw/SPpKsh-TWZI/AAAAAAAABRo/zZm_re0rCJQ/s400/laiya2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258597643802859922" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;There are &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;fresh-water beaches&lt;/span&gt; in the towns around the Lake -- &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;San Nicolas&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Agoncillo&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cuenca&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Balete&lt;/span&gt;, Tanauan and Talisay. Salt-water beaches abound in the following towns: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Matabungkay&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lian&lt;/span&gt; town), &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nasugbu&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Calatagan&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Calaca&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lemery&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Taal&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;San Luis&lt;/span&gt;,  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bauan&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lobo&lt;/span&gt;, and  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Laiya&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;San Juan&lt;/span&gt; town). Or you can opt to explore their mountains! There is mountain &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;trekking&lt;/span&gt; in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mt. Maculot&lt;/span&gt; and in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mabini&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nasugbu &lt;/span&gt;towns. There are also several island tourist destinations, like Tingloy, Verde Island, Ligpo Island, and Fortune Island and also Industrial Parks and various manufacturing industries dotting the shoreline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The place is also made famous by its trademark &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“balisong”&lt;/span&gt; – butterfly-like knives, which originated from Barangay Balisong in the town of Taal, hence the name. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Panutsa&lt;/span&gt; or peanut brittle, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sinaing na Tulingan&lt;/span&gt; (small tuna in vinegar), &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;suman&lt;/span&gt; (rice cakes wrapped in banana leaves), the&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; longganisa&lt;/span&gt; and&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; tapa&lt;/span&gt;, the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;achara&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;bagoong&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;kapeng Barako&lt;/span&gt;, sweets like macapuno, Ube and pastillas are also some of the craved foods in the area. If after eating a sumptuous meal makes you thirsty, you can try their mura juice with mura meat – a young coconut juice with the fruit's meat, really good when served very cold mixed with condensed milk for sweetness... Or if you prefer hard drinks don’t forget to try &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lambanog&lt;/span&gt; from San Juan town.  It's a local brew from Cane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To experience this one of a kind trip or vacation, better book your reservations as early as this time of the year. So what are you waiting for?

This game is simple and so here are the rules.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Copy from "START COPY HERE" to "STOP COPY HERE".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Add your site(s) to the list. Just be sure to post the "&lt;a href="http://www.irisaeirincollections.com/2008/08/techno-christmas-2008-master-list.html"&gt;Techno Christmas 2008&lt;/a&gt;" at each site you add.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. You have a choice to tag or not to tag, however, the more tags you create the longer the list will grow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Let me know your blog’s name and url by leaving a comment &lt;a href="http://www.irisaeirincollections.com/2008/08/techno-christmas-2008-master-list.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;, so I can add you to the master list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Come back and copy the master list back to your site, often as you can. This will allow the new comers to achieve equal benefit as the late comers do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Watch your Authority Rise&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. You may want to grab the Techno Christmas Badge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border: medium solid black; background: rgb(255, 255, 255) none repeat scroll 0% 0%; overflow: auto; width: 150px; height: 100px; text-align: left; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;a href="http://www.irisaeirincollections.com/2008/08/techno-christmas-2008-master-list.html/"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src="http://www.irisaeirincollections.com-a.googlepages.com/technochristmas.gif"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please follow the rules. Blogs in the list will be subject to removal if their lists are not updated. I will check all of the blogs once a week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.irisaeirincollections.com/2008/08/techno-christmas-2008-master-list.html"&gt;Techno Christmas 2008&lt;/a&gt; Masterlist:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;a href="http://www.irisaeirincollections.com/" rel="tag"&gt;Aeirin Collections&lt;/a&gt;
