Because I want this player na!!! Grrrr. And we barely have stocks of it here! It definitely surpasses the Ipod Video on all aspects, pero ang presyo, shet, tanggal ang utak ko at sumabog sa pader.

 

*sobs, pulls out hair*

Oh well.

Pathetic ranting aside, TipidPC supposedly sells them for 30K, some website sells them for 25K, and Greenhills DAW (according to a forum) now sells them for 19k. I can hardly believe that considering they just came out in the US November 2006, but hey, I’ll believe ANYTHING to get this baby.

I like how they’re doing it now: PMP, or portable media players. Because they finally realized that people are very fond of video playbacks as well. This came out only in the US, Japan and Korea, but hey, if people can bring that here, why not. Because it seriously, and I really mean seriously, beats Ipod.

Oh, and did you know that this has an automatic transfer from camera to player feature using only a usb cable? Ger! They have it na! See? My idea IS ingenuous! And they can also directly record rom the TV. Sweet!!!

I woke up feeling something heavy pressing on my chest. I was on that floating moment between heavy dreaming and reluctant waking state at about dawn that I almost ignored it, when I noticed that the heavy feeling wasn’t an internal force, but that of a head resting on my chest.

I barely opened my eyes, but I placed my hand on top of the head, giving me a feel of a usual dry hair and small, soft but worn ear and cheek. Tha familiarity settled me, after all, there are only two women in the family, and that includes me.

Her right cheek was flat on my chest and barely moved, while almost after distinguishing her features I started to hear my heart beat louder, almost to a point of deafening me. I suppose it was hearts’ way of connecting; I suppose her heart wanted to say it misses me.

I know it can be hard for her. She’s taken to thinking she brought me up to be too independent that I barely tell her where I am at times, when obviously I can just be sometimes rude when I just honestly forget. It’s one bad habit I’m having a hard time losing, and I’m honestly not proud of it. But in these moments she chooses to forget and connect instead, my heart flows into a non-stop river of guilt and I can’t do anything but let myself get carried by my deafening heartbeats. I pulled her closer. I passed out in that state.

Later on, she cuddled to me after lunch while watching Charlotte’s Web. I couldn’t bear to ask if it were really her that morning. I’d rather think it happened rather than I imagined it. But maybe it really did. After all, she missed me. Then again, I missed her more.

Goodness gracious, JP. I don’t know which one I was gonna do first: laugh, or laugh.

Oh well. Folks, me needs youse to click on this link and read. If you puke at the deliberate link spamming, at least he gets a hit. And I do to if someone reads his blog. Haha.

Anyhow, jayps, the reason I’m posting this here is because I leave a message on your tagboard. System’s blocking it here. I’ll be correcting the description soon, so there shouldn’t be any problems with your “Mari” on your next visit. And fine–if you don’t like my wordplay, I’ll try to spruce up your description and corrections more. Oh, and try sending it to my email. Or maybe I’ll just look it up on Limewire.

Admittedly, you are a good blogger if efforts are actually used. Besides, just ’cause I always liken you to Mo Twister’s orientation, doesn’t mean I don’t like your intellect. Sometimes. Hehe.

Oh, yeah, you too guys. If you haven’t seen the Links page yet, do visit.

So who could have thought he’s gonna be that adorable, that I took time to actually photoshop him for a better presentation?

Yes, originally from this photo, which has already been pshopped:

He almost looks like Paul and Piolo Pascual, two of my major exes.

Nevermind.

Okay. Let’s start with the story.

+++

So we started with Suth a week ago and we were supposed to originally go through with some more training with geography and the other usual stuff, then they told us we were going to cut everything else and actually proceed with product training. Unfortunately it didn’t happen anyway, but since we’re pretty much done with everything else, they decided to spend the last hours of Friday trying to cut half the slack of what we should be getting.

So, as per your usual entertainment, someone danced, and someone sang. These… are their stories.

(I’m sorry for the bad write up. My neck’s hurting and I’m watching too much YouTube)

The clincher there, is after everything else, he goes with his heartwarming story of how he misses his home town in Ilo-Ilo, and how he’s doing things JUST for the sake of experience, and tried to inspire us in doing the best we can with everything. I can’t go into much details as to why, but believe me if I say he’s too nice to be abused. I almost wanted to hug him and say, “It’ll be alright.”  Almost like a little boy who went into a wave of nauseating reminiscence, he blurted out with a tinge of whine, "I miss my dog," to anyone willing to listen. Which...really didn't include anyone else much because he class was on a break and I'm the nearest ear. Of course, knowing my poor (I take it back: BAAAAD) sense of personal communication/sweetness when taken aback, I replied, "What happened to your dog?"

I found myself yet again browsing the Tipidpc.com website after visiting podcentral.ph and finding out that a brand new 30gb IPod video now costs only 13k. And of course, being the non-conformist buyer that I am, most likely I WOULD settle for something a little used but cheaper, so I looked for the slightly-used ones and found them at around 10K.

See, this is what I have debating with myself a few days after I started work. It CAN be a tempting issue to buy a new pod and maybe sell Danielle (my 3rd gen 15 gb IPod) for a much lower price (since I got it at 6k, I’m thinking maybe 5 or 4K) as, after all, Danielle has been loved and used, and as much as I give testimonies of our really great times together (you know those slow sex songs where an IPod can be really REALLY handy at if you have a nice speaker and it can arouse a great mood and all with the lights all dim and the candles burning, bopping to Dido’s Thank You and some other making-love songs?), it’s not gonna hinder the fact that, as much as Danielle is beautiful, she is still a 3rd gen pod, and therefore people would see she has extra buttons where, as far as the regular 4th gen IPods are concerned, they don’t exist. And she doesn’t play videos either, so that can be hard if let’s say my phone memory’s limited and I can’t stock further porn.

Believe me we’ve had these open forum debates where Danielle and I would argue that, you know, you haven’t been paying much attention to me lately and that hurts me a lot sort of stuff, but we’ve come to this conclusion that IF I want to play some videos, I’ll just be buying Descartes (my phone) a higher mmc of maybe 2gb and stock all the for-the-bored-videos (you know, when you’re waiting for your turn to make tuwad in front of the nurse at a pre-employment medical or something) I want, except we haven’t really proven the capacity of a 2gb to run smoothly with a Nokia 6260. So I might find myself buying a new mmc that I might not get to use. BUT, at least I get to save my money for the stuff that I REALLY want for NOW, which is a Canon S3 IS. The thing is still at about 18K, so that’s still around 2 or 3 months worth of pay. Unfortunately, no easy to trick girlfriends or boyfriends around to push them into buying me one now.

Financial matters to be considered, of course, everything would point out to me buying an mmc instead. BUT:

+ a higher mmc capacity does not necessarily mean you can use it all up. After all, a phone can only handle so much.
+ they don’t play in stereo. Mono doesn’t play loud.
+ I’m gonna have to check if an original headset would really mean better sound quality as Aris has pointed out over one of our Suth class discussions (class being occuring in class, not necessarily the involvement of everyone).

Although of course, that would also mean less bulk for me. I can bring a phone and let it do wonders for me and just be contented, and DIVX codecs are installed anyway so no problem with videos here. But, like I said, it doesn’t play loud. So I might confuse Spiderman 3 with the jeepneys roaring.

I’m also thinking of buying a new phone. BUT are there any thin symbian phoes in the market aside from E50? I guess chances are Descartes stays with me for a looooooong time then.
