all in a day’s work..
I don’t mind working in net cafes, especially when they’re cheap. I’m currently in one that charges a minimum of P10 although I just found out that it goes for a weird period of only 24 minutes. Dang. I should have left three minutes ago.
I particularly like this place because it is a good source of pirated DVDs. My recent favorite acquisitions are A Scanner Darkly, and the Koreanovela Winter Sonata. It is, perhaps, the only pirated DVD I own that has properly constructed sub-titles.
Now, knowing that this is a DVD haven, you’ll have an obvious idea of who run businesses here. I don’t have anything against them. They can wear their veils all they want even in extreme heat and I couldn’t care less. Congratulations for keeping the tradition. But dang, again. They blast music from their Pensonic or Sonny using their pirated CD with what could be the worst collection of music (which I just noticed cz I’m doing an article about CDs)..
First, I heard Sarah Geronimo’s rendition of Lupang Hinirang just before the Pacquiao-Morales fight. And I thought, man, they are fast if they already have pirated copies of the fight selling here. Next thing I knew/heard, they’re playing the totally irritating Dayang-dayang. What the foink does that mean anyway? And after that was Brother Louie-something, and Papa Don’t Preach. Now? It goes something like "Nothing’s gonna stop us now.." hayyy.. God save me.
