the deserving long wait

it has been a long wait..

there's no doubt that i am a movie fan. but haven't watched good movies for quite sometime. reasons being.. our old dvd player gone crazy, hubbyby strongly refused to subscribe movies channel on astro (though i'm paying for it), and a request to buy dvds will always be rejected by darling hubbyby (he just bought a new dvd player!!).

and i didn't know how to download a movie from the net! not only that, i didn't even know how to download free songs from the net. all the sites i visited need me to register for it.. malaslah! unbelievable?? my niece, ida had taught me once, but i couldn't follow, making me feel so IT illiterate! and may be bcoz me being a 'slow learner'... she said it's difficult to explain without showing. so i gave up. "you and i, we're old people", said a friend.

but lucky me! got my wonderful friend, bohm, whom upon my request, had created a special album showing step by step manual (with pictures), on how to perform it. and it was not that difficult after all. as bohm said, we are now part of the on board crew.. like captain jack sparrow and barbosa. torrents' ethic.. better be good!

since then, my newly repaired and reformatted captain future has been working really hard, with my fairly slow internet line (we subscribe the cheapest streamyx package!). it took me almost a day to download avatar! hubbyby was blabbering.. he specifically used a table-fan for the computer to prevent overheating. since then i've been torrenting almost every day.. but it really affected my net surfing. and the connection has been real bad for the last two days.

suprisingly.. i've now got friends requesting me to get movies for them.. haha.. really makes me feel like pirates of the carribean!! a newbie, that is!

so.. today is a movie marathon day. finally get to watch 'the curious case of benjamin button'.. after a year! enjoyed every moment of it.. hubbyby laughed seeing me cried watching it. men.. they can never 'feel' the story. and then comes avatar, and the bucket list. currently, hubbyby is watching underworld evolution.

i have a long list.. and can't wait to get the newly released 'clash of the titans', though many reviews said it is not as good as the original 1981 version. but as my sifu said, better wait sometime for the 'genius' people to rip a good one for us.

the long wait it was.. but it's worthwhile waiting.
