Torn

For being a good boy last year I’m thinking of rewarding myself (savings not yet enough but I’m almost there). Two months ago I was planning to buy an iPod Classic 12oGB; I checked out some stores and found a PhP12,800 unit (silver). Then I found Microsoft Zune 120 on the internet and now I’m having second thoughts on buying the iPod.120battleBoth have the same storage capacity, which is a whopping 120 gigabytes (more than what my PC currently has) which can store tons of media. The iPod is more popular than the Zune but, I think, it’s more of a disadvantage because of the many fake iPods around. One advantage is that Apple has a service center here in RP and the Zune has none. But what I dig about the Zune is the screen – a 3.2-inch display means a more comfortable movie watching experience than on the iPod. The price tag is almost the same although the Zune requires special ordering arrangement since it’s not locally available.

I still have until February to decide.

More info about the iPod Classic may be found at the Apple website and for Microsoft Zune you may visit Zune.net.

A Sucker for Anne Rice

It's very difficult to complete my Anne Rice collection. It was a challenge because I think I have a competition in book sales here in Baguio City, add to the fact that you would rarely find Anne Rice hardcovers on sale.

This one is the First edition of 'Lasher' (pub. 1993), which I got for a measly P75.00 from Booksale about a month ago.

Yesterday I was ecstatic to find hardcover editions of 'Merrick' and 'The Vampire Armand' on Booksale in SM at P275.oo each. So now I only need the following books to complete the collection.

  • 'Blood Canticle' (The Vampire Chronicles)
  • 'Vittorio the Vampire' (New Tales of the Vampire series)
  • 'Feast of All Saints' (saw a paperback edition on sale near UB)
  • 'Servant of the Bones'
  • 'Christ the Lord: Road to Cana' (Anne Rice's latest book)
These books go directly to my Christmas Wishlist. If you know where I could find them, send me a message. Thank you.
