iTunes Addition

The iTunes store is such an addicting place. I feel like everytime I turn on my laptop, there's an urge to buy some new tunes. I started becoming a member early this March and I have spent around US$ 35. Well, technically, I just spent US$ 20 since my very generous aunt gave me an iTunes gift card worth US$ 15.

Here are some of the stuff that I bought and I am enjoying them a lot:

Boxing Match: Pacman and ABS-CBN

I feel so stupid for doing this entry but I feel so strongly about this issue that I just feel that I need to vent out my feelings regarding this.

I am sorely disappointed with Manny Pacquiao and ABS-CBN regarding the boxing rights issue. I am upset that ABS-CBN would go to such lengths just to get the boxing rights for the Pacquiao-Hatton fight. That's, of course, based on Pacquiao's statement. Believe it or not, during Pacquiao's fight against Oscar DeLa Hoya, I believe that ABS-CBN correspondent, Dyan Castillejo, did a far more superior job covering the whole fight than GMA's. I am just saddened by the insinuation that ABS-CBN did malicious tactics in order to get the boxing rights.

Next, I am flabbergasted by Pacquiao's decisions. Its all too confusing and stupid! If he weren't satisfied by GMA-Solar coverage of his fights, he should've talked to them first and not resort to switching channels right away. It's stupid and its annoying.

My advice to Pacquiao: Have legal advisors that are smart and that you could trust so that you could consult with them and you don't have the public dragged into this mess. Pacquiao, I believe has single-handedly, widened and intensifed the network wars in the Philippines. And that ticks me off, more than I hope it would be. Argh!

My advice to GMA-Solar: None. I am glad you fought for your legal rights. Pacquiao's mind has been so messed up. Maybe Hatton is getting to him. LOL

My advice to ABS-CBN: Don't fix what's not broken. I believe you have excellent news delivery and your sports anchor, Dyan Castillejo, did an awesome job covering Pacquiao's previous fights. Because of this, you managed to destroy which is a seemingly great rapport between Dyan and Manny. Tsk. I am so dumbfounded by such stupidity. You have got to redeem yourself in some way. I don't know how.

Having said all of this, I am going to read about Manny's fight instead of watching it in either Solar or GMA. :-p

Forgive this entry especially my sentence construction. I am doing other things as I write this.

Inspired by the Slums and the Dog

So, here I go again. I made a new gif inspired by Slumdog Millionaire and Anoop Desai. I think that this is too simple compared to the first one I made, but I like it.

Skins

Three days left before the Wild Card show. I am anxious to see whether Anoop gets in. I have a feeling that he will make it but I also felt the same way the day he got cut. So, everything is still up in the air.

Right now, I am having Dev Patel and Anoop Desai cravings. LOL. So, a trusted friend, YOUTUBE, satisfied some of my cravings. Hehe. I am in dire need of anything related to Anoop and Dev. Good thing I came across this video from the official website of Skins. The TV series, Skins, was originally shown in the United Kingdom. It looks like it is a really fun, teen, drama, comedy show. Raters even said that its way better than The OC and Gossip Girl (IMO, GG is not really that good. Its just quite nice.). And of course, Dev Patel stars in this highly rated show.

The following clip contains some strong language. Be warned.



I wish for an iTunes account so I could download the whole season.
