State of Emergency or so they say

When i heard about the proclamation of a state of emergency last friday afternoon i thought to myself: "there goes my friday night of booze and fun!" hehehe! I gave in to the idea of spending my friday night at home...well, probably go to the gym first til about 9pm and spend the rest of the boring evening watching tv. Good thing albert invited me to have dinner at amici. Hmmm...just the thought of pasta and pizza makes my mouth water. hehehe!

Before going to amici we made a not so quick stop at MCS for some pirated dvds. I had no plans of buying pirated dvds...but when i saw all those dvds...my gosh! I just couldn't stop myself. It felt like i was hypnotized! After a few minutes of scouring through the never ending pile of dvds...i finally surrendered and bought my FIRST pirated dvd!! =( i know! i know! i'm bad! To think i used to conduct trainings about anti-piracy and stuff! Geeeezzzz!!! and how i used to tell my friends not to buy pirated! I'm only human! Who can't resist those cheap dvds? huh? Oh well, so i submitted to temptation of buying pirated dvds...enough said!

Anyway, i bought the following: If only, Fever Pitch, Spanglish and A lot like love. If i'll burn in hell for this might as well watch all the dvds i can get my hands on. Btw, after watching my first ever pirated dvd i then made a list of dvds i want to buy on my next trip to dvd land.

Ooops! i almost forgot to mention that my bronze- tiangge- bought- cute- sandals got stuck on the last step of the escalator! talk about embarrassing myself infront of those people. While Pres. Arroyo proclaimed a state of emergency...i was having my own state of emergency right at the heart of pirated dvd haven. I didn't know my cute bronze sandal can stop the escalator from moving! hahaha! The lady behind me was so terrified she sorta jumped off trying to avoid the now weird looking sandal...i wanted to laugh but looking at my now damaged sandals i wanted to cry! Waaaah!!! My fave bronze sandals looked great with just about anything from jeans to slacks to skirts...huhuhu! It will be difficult to find a perfect pair of sandals again! Going back to my story, Albert tried to pull my sandals off but to no avail. But i couldn't just go walking with just one sandal alright? So i took a couple of deep breaths and gave it one strong tug...tada! got my sandal back! hooray!!! Anyway, after that i continued walking as if nothing happened...while deep inside i was about to die of humiliation! hahaha! Said goodbye to my cute bronze sandals that night...that was my cue to buy a new one! **Big grin**

After having said that...got me thinking what pushed me to buy those pirated dvds...it was my sandals!!! i was mourning for my-tiangge-bought-cute-bronze-sandals and i poured it all out on those dvds! hahaha! still a lame excuse don't you think? Atleast i gave it a try!
