A LITTLE SHOPPING AT VMALL

NO, I didn't buy this! I saw it at the food court at VMall and I wanted to shoot it...

My DVD writer was showing signs of age. Close to conking out, actually. Been making coasters and what good discs it makes takes 45 minutes to burn at 16X. Something is definitely not right. So before I have to make that new batch of DVDS I'm sending to Canada, I decided to buy a new one.
ABOVE: The Liteon DVD writer I bought at my favorite PC store at VMALL. I was surprised to find that nobody really sells DVDROM drives anymore. The ones with burners are too cheap, so adding a few hunnerd bucks to the price of a DVDROM already buys you one that can MAKE DVDS instead of just read them. Logical indeed. While I was there, I decided to throw out the jurassic floppy drive I had and put in a card reader with USB port. This makes transferring pics from the digicam to the pc much easier than plugging the USB card reader.
I saw TEN THE EVENING NEWS last night, and in the Gadget segment, they featured a digicam and mentioned that more and more people are buying digicams now 'coz they want to post pics in Facebook. Well, I myself joined FB recently and can appreciate the site much more than Friendster. Truly wonderful, more on that later.


PICTURED ABOVE: a GHOST IN THE SHELL STANDALONE COMPLEX t-shirt I found at FILBAR'S. I noticed I was wearing the same batch of clothes over and over when I go to the hospital so I decided to buy this so I can wear something different next time. Bought it for P250. They had a few more anime t-shirts there, too.
