FeR

It was a very expensive month.

The month that was.
The month that saw money flying out of my bank account (by the way, VisaDebit is a joy and a curse – because you can use it online, money goes out faster than you can say “monkey”! At least, that’s the case for me).

Now, now.
Work offered me a REALLY good deal because they wanted to rid themselves of this extra camera (they have two of the same colour – and since we’re not a specialized CAMERA store…) – turned out cheaper than to fix my 950 IS (which was quoted $399!!!)
We all know it’s good to have a compact around at all times (LX3 is just not feasible at this point of time).

Now, now.
I’ve always (since I got here) one because I don’t want to keep relying on my computer for music (speaker is not that great as well…sorry MacFeR!) and to charge my iPod. Isn’t killing two birds with one stone?

Now, now.
My resolution is to go jogging.

After watching “Bride Wars” (yea! Remember AnneHathaway had one clipped on on her t-shirt?), I thought, “Oh! That’s handy!” (sorry iFeR!)
This is a refurbished 2GB unit. I wanted colour and the new shuffle didn’t appeal to me.

Fine!
I’ve not started jogging yet, to date.

Now, now.
This I bought online (the curse of the VisaDebit!) in the States. Work colleague was going over there and it’s nearly half price! I needed more disk space anyway…really wan. She came back about a week ago and I got this on Tuesday.

Now, now.
If you see the pictures of the mini Afghans in it, you’d want one, too! Furthermore, I have researched the price and it was cheapest to get it thru work.

Now, now.
You’d be happy to know I waited this out – and I was glad I did because the week after I saw this, they had a $20 discount on it.

Anyway, weird thing happened. I set MacFeR’s DVD region to “4″ because I bought a few DVDs from the Warehouse. When I played TheBigBangTheory (which mom got for me from the States), I wasn’t prompted to change region (which was a bit weird because the DVDs were region “1″) – I thought to myself, “Cool! I guess once a region is unlocked, it stays opened.”

Wrong!

When I tried to watch House Season 4 (also from mom), I was told to switch regions!
To add to my “drama”, the DVD I bought of You’veGotMail was a region 2!!!
(Please don’t ask why I didn’t check, I just didn’t. It was cheap. End of story.)

This is why I searched for a multi-region/zone DVD player. I was told by the sales person that Philips is one of the brands that can be “multi-region-ed” – I just have to call their customer support centre (I settled it thru Yahoo!Answers )

That was August…and early September saw me renewing domain name and hosting.
