Slacking Off?

Where in the world have I been lately anyway? After graduation, what’s going to happen to moi?

Actually, I’ve decided to go to school for one more year. I’m in Manila right now. Classes are supposed to already start tomorrow but due to the rain and the infamous A(H1N1), classes have been moved to the 15th. However, I am not certain if my classes are affected. I no longer consider myself a “regular” student after all. Anyways, I’ve been here for weeks already. I’ve already found a boarding house just a ride away from school. My roommates don’t seem to like me that much though (as much as I don’t like talking to them). See, they’ve been roommates for a year already. Cool, huh. Being left out, you can say that again. For days all I’ve been doing is sleep, eat, download a movie, go visit my relatives, or perhaps buy something at the stupid mall. The other day I even lost two thousand pesos. Life sure is hard around here… I can’t help but think how nice it would’ve been if I went home. I could’ve spend more days there especially now that the opening of classes have been allegedly moved. I just stayed at home for less than a week and then left again for school, you know.

It’s a good thing I have some high school classmates around. Classes haven’t started yet so we still have plenty of time to walk ’round. Yesterday I went to Trinoma with two of them and a schoolmate. All of them haven’t watched Angels & Demons yet, leaving me no choice but to watch it again. When we got out of the cinema we saw some of the Big Brother (Teen Edition) housemates of the last season. I think it would’ve been nice if we took a picture with them. They do all look good in person than in TV. After it we went home, had pizza and tuna for dinner, and settled down at my place. Right now, two of them are still in there, with no plans of getting up at all, it seems. And I’m starting to get irritated because of it…

In any case, I’ll try to be back here and do a post as often as I used to be.

Buying the Correct iPod

Posted on May 12, 2009 at 18:01 Down the Drain 1 Comment

Music has evolved into many forms over the years. Together with it is the enhancement of convenient access to various multimedia. Music is a part of a person’s life that it adds spice and color to daily living. In times when we do nothing in particular, say, waiting for someone or walking on the street, we find listening to some music helpful. It not only kills boredom, but it also heightens your mood in a way. But what good product out there is good to use? How will you choose if it’s the right one for you?

In the past, there were CD players and Walkmans. They were enough then, but if you think about it, they were kind of bulky. Today, we have them in more miniature forms. If before we have to bring bags with them, today, one’s pocket is enough. We can speak greatly of the iPod, which has become outrageously popular. They come in many types bringing different functions. They bring forth convenience in playing and selecting your favorite multimedia primarily music. Truly, humming while walking has never been the same as it was before.

If you’re in for buying an iPod of your own, make sure you know what you’re looking for. For sure, they have it already ready for you.
