Splurging Once Again
Sunday, June 20, 2004
Okay, I didn't splurge on books this time. But I splurged again on one of my indulgences and I hope that Chairman Edu Manzano of the the Optical Media Board of the Philippines doesn't read this.
I splurged once again on DVDs. Pirated ones. Hide!!!....... Okay, coast is clear. No raiding team coming out to get me. I spent well over a thousand bucks. Here are the titles I bought:
50 First Dates
Along Came Polly
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen
Mean Girls
Coyote Ugly
The Girl with a Pearl Earring
Le Appartmente
Sylvia
Peter Pan
Cold Mountain
I shop and splurge at least once a month. Once, after Christmas, I bought all seasons of Friends. My sisters were so happy and watched it all right away. Where as I choose not to watch it without A. After six months, I'm still in Season 8!
Okay, I know I'm sinning by buying all these pirated videos and I'm robbing off lots of entertainment companies, actors and actresses, production companies for their royalties and what have yous. And I know a lot of people out here are doing the same thing too and we practically have the same reason: original copies are too expensive! In today's time (and prizes), you got to be reasonable. Anyway, it's not like I'm selling them or re-producing them. As a consolation, I told myself, I will never buy DVDs or VCDs of local films. Now, that would hurt the showbiz industry and affect the economy.
Hahaha! Seems like I'm whitewashing my sins away.

None of the titles you bought are good enough to be bought as original DVDs anyway. So, how about a review of Le Appartmente? --Orbital
