Thou Shall Not Steal...Often?

It was bound to happen: I bought a pirated DVD!

I know there are no excuses for it, but let me make some anyway. First, I went and saw it in the movie theatre when it came out, so hey, I'm a real paying customer. Two, there was no DVD version of it in the stores; VCD lang (Papa the Powerbook does not play VCDs). Three, all the legit DVDs here in Manila are Region 3; I'm a Region 1 kind of gal. When I bought a legit Before Sunrise DVD last month and played it on Papa, I had to switch regions and I was warned that I was allowed to switch regions only three more times. Well, what happens if I move around the world? Hence, I got to preserve my region-switching abilities. Fourth, umm, I'm bored out of my mind in the condo and I figured if I buy one DVD that I can watch over and over again, I won't be thinking too much about not having a lovelife. Good excuses, yeah? ;P

So what DVD did I spend my precious P60 on? Little Manhattan (Hey, at least it wasn't Over the Hedge, okay? HaHa!). I swear, that movie makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. When I first saw that movie, I was too focused on the very funny "Two and a half weeks!" scene, but now, I'm more into the "Eventually, the many little things left unsaid piled up until we never said anything at all." O, ibaba ang mga kilay. HaHa!

Anyway, I hope this the first and last buy...unless I find a DVD copy of Rain's concert. Then you'll all just have to find it in your hearts to forgive me (and tell God that I did it out of love. HaHa!).
