Hello! My name is wickedmonicker and I'm a recovering DVD addict... In the beginning...My sad sad tale began last 2006, when i first purchased an original DVD at Astro- Megamall.
I was filled with glee. This movie was Love, Actually.. which ironically is one of the few dvds that I own categorized as a Romance movie (as a girl, Im afraid i dont have that touchy mushy gene).
I was ecstatic! Who knew that DVDs then cost 200 - 300??!!!!
Who knew then that this dvd was the first of many to come?? (insert ominous music here)
The Cursed Supplementary Credit Card My mom gave me a supplementary Citibank Credit Card because frankly I wouldn't get an approval on my own! (I work in government - sorta like playschool for me.. lets just say Im an under-achiever)
VIOLA! here starts the legendary impulse buying of dvds.
First few months, I'd get 5 titles or less and still pay my card in full.
Alas, December came and all the dvd titles dropped their prices...
Ka-ching! (insert cash register tune here)
Astro stores nationwide robbed me blind.
2007 came and to my fortune (or misfortune) i found Pdvd Marketplace..
here and there i came to buying from our trustworthy sellers like there's no tomorrow!
Until..I found that here i was, only 25 years old and my cash keeps running low.. and my credit card debt is now 56 thousand plus!!!! (SHHH! dont tell my parents! I keep telling em dvds cost like a hundred per disc hehehe)
In recoveryLike many of you, i now refuse to buy whatever dvd catches my eye and I wait (with trembling hands mind you) of a sale here and there.
Now, i "window shop" online and curb the urge to buy.
Sometimes, I relapse and splurge when i have the cash (i dont charge anymore!)..
but most of the time, i just look around the store.. hoping to find a bargain... with some drool maybe falling from my dry lips. uhu uhu uhu! :'(
