If there is something that we all have in common, that is probably sleeping. We all sleep! No matter how old or young you are, it is always a necessity to live... and therefore, we must all sleep. haha. Obviously, with school right now, it has been quite hard to get a good sleep. Sleeping late and waking up at 7am really sucks. So whenever i get the chance to peacefully embrace the pillows and bask among the 100% cotton cushion that my bed has to offer, i truly cherish every moment of it. But of course, a bed with pillows will not be complete without the magical body warmer we call, the
blanket. I am the type of person that can't sleep without a blanket, so having it wrapped around me is always a fundamental part of my sleep. Sleeping without a blanket is just simply lying down in bed and cannot be considered sleeping at all. Perhaps, there is something about a blanket that makes sleeping very mysterious and relaxing. But one day, when i was about it put my blanket on, this thought suddenly hit me, why is the blanket called a BLANKet? Obviously, a blanket is something that covers you up during your sleep, but with a name like that, i think it's quite confusing. hmmm... isn't the root word of BLANKet, BLANK??? hahaha. maybe not, but the word BLANK is there for a reason. If i visually envision the word balnket when i see my blanket, all I see is 5 blanks and the letters e and t (_____et). Quite puzzling but for me it makes a lot of sense. haha. With this thought in mind, sleeping with it just felt really cold and empty. :( I guess i will never look at my blanket the same way ever again. So, just to avoid confusion from the word BLANK and to bring back the glorious feeling of sleeping with a blanket, i just simply changed the name of my blanket from BLANKet to
bedburritto. Don't ask, but yeah... it's called bedburritto. Afterall, no matter what it's called, that thing that covers you up in your sleep is something that gives life a little bit of warmth and relaxation in this mystical world filled with coldness and apathy. :)
I started collecting DVDs (Region 1) back in 2002 with E.T. (Ultimate Gift Boxed Set) as my very first DVD. From that moment on, i got addicted to buying DVDs. My supplier, Kuya Al (R.I.P), would always txt on me new deliveries and would update me on great new releases. I would save all my money just to order DVDs. I would get at least 1 or 2 DVDs per month. My collection just kept on growing, until that tragic day back in October 2004 when i heard that My supplier but more importantly, my good friend died.:( Truly a sad moment. I didn't touch any of the DVDs i ordered from him for at least 6 months, and until now i haven't watched the last DVD i bought from him (Star Wars Trilogy). boohoo. Maybe next week i'll touch it, but i was never a Star Wars Fan so i guess that's okay for display purposes. haha. Of course, Kuya Al's death didn't stop me from continuing my collection. After what happened, I was determined to find a new DVD source but unfortunately, non of my new sources were really good plus PRICES WERE REALLY HIGH. Now, i rely on friends and relatives who go abroad for my DVDs. Currently, i have more or less 150 DVD titles! TITLES NOT DISCS! wahaha! I lovelove my DVD collection. Buying DVDs for me is my way of releaseing stress, so just imagine how much i've spent on DVDs during this term! haha! veryveyr stressful term! hahaha! Well, now i can absolutely say that my DVD collection is EVOLVING! Now i have moved on from DVDs to Blu-ray Discs!!! DAMN!! Now, i have Spider-Man 3 and Ratatouille and lemme tell you... WOWOWOWOW!!! Crazy 1080p High Definition Picture and unparalleled Dolby TRUE HD sound! FUCKIN INTENSE!! not to mention the intense ultra special features and the advance scene selection feature where not only do you get to skip to great moments in the film, but you can also bookmark your favorite scenes as well. Well, maybe i won't be able to buy as much Blu-ray discs but having them around is truly great. perhaps, i'm the only guy who can tell this much about DVDs. This whole experience with my DVD collection definitely had its ups and downs and I'm glad I'm still here collecting DVDs, and Blu-ray(ahhaha!) because it truly made me a better and stronger person.
