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.Maybe none of you will get that ending or how it made me a stronger person but yeah.... ask me nalang :P
