What does a girl do when her TV (which came with her furnished condo) suddenly craps out on her? Why, buy a pirated DVD, of course!
Yes, desperation leads to desperate measures. After dinner on Friday, I headed over to the piracy capital of Ortigas with Ate Jen and came home with an eight-in-one DVD of W1ll Sm1th movies for a total cost of P75 (that's about a dollar fifty for you international folks out there).
I finally got to watch "Hitch" and "The Pursuit of Happyness" (the latter made me shed a tear or two)! And sure enough, that DVD was only good for the weekend. I saw all the movies by Sunday evening.
Noticing a potential addiction, I'm now trying to figure out whether I should get the TV fixed or continue buying pirated DVDs to watch on my laptop. Mathematically, I can solve this and let you know which is cheaper to do. I just can't seem to put my morals anywhere in the equation. Tsk!
(By the way, if anyone knows how to fix a picture tube of a TV for free, please let me know. I can't live without a TV on the weekends and stealing is a crime...unless, they're Korean telenovelas in which case it's called "borrowing". Ha!)
My vote: buy pirated DVD's.
ReplyDeleteThen to prevent waste, and to protect the environment from more plastic in our landfills, you can mail them to moi.
if its the picture tube, might as well buy a new tv. I think it will cost the same thing or more.
ReplyDeleteRick: I'm assuming there aren't pirated crap in Japan?
ReplyDeleteRai: Buying a new TV is not an option, my dear friend. No new appliances for me. Just update me on the new Koreanovela to watch and I think I'll live without the TV. HeHe!
oh siya! LOL I like Hwang Jini right now. If you havent watched Goong, its a must. I watched "Over the Rainbow" i think it will interest you coz its about dancing.
ReplyDeleteGoong is "Princess Hours", right? Haven't seen "Over the Rainbow" in any of the stalls here; yung movie na "Over the Rainbow" lang. What sucks even more is that na-raid yung St. Francis Square so wala akong mabilhan ng DVDs. Grrr!
ReplyDeleteyup Goong is "Princess Hours". ay sayang na-raid. alternative sources??
