This Little Girl Went VCD Shopping Again

I just could not help myself. There I was in front of the mall knowing that right inside, on the 3rd floor, I could have the chance to own another Johnny Depp movie (which I'm trying to collect).

I had no choice but to go inside or else I'll be dealing with my own "What-Ifs". That would be quite hard on my soul. I really did not want to go inside. The mall's having its annual sale (with items that's supposed to have really huge discounts) but I really don't think they're that discounted.

I did not look anywhere else but the path straight right to the 3rd floor. I did not want to see any other item or I might want to buy something else when I'm saving up most of my money for those braces. Oh well. But I know that those movies just could not wait, movie junkie that I am.

I was disappointed. The VCDs were not on sale! Gaaah! Why? Why? Why?

But I felt like I needed to buy a VCD. So I scoured through the collection and found three interesting ones. One classic - An Affair to Remember. One pretty mushy - Message in A Bottle. And one quite so unknown - Platoon. I bought the first one because it was a classic and I wanted to know why it has been so popular. The second one was because I cried loads when I was reading the book. And the third one simply because Johnny Depp was there (though he was not a main character. Who cared?!).

So now, aside from those movies I just bought, I still have other movies to watch: The Sea Is Watching, Casablanca, Haunted Doll 2, Happy Times, Try Seventeen, Romeo + Juliet, Edward Scissorhands, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, and Coyote Ugly. Some of that whole lot I've already watched but I just want to watch them again.

There. I'll probably be busy watching all of these this weekend.

Oh. I almost forgot. I still have another one to watch. I also did buy a VCD for my son. A Barney VCD so I guess I'll have to watch that one with him. Oh you know. Parental guidance. Wink

Platoon is an Oscar-winning movie! I think it bagged the best picture award back in the 80s. Check it out at IMDB.

inkblots, I think you're right. It was a pretty okay movie and let's us all see the thoughts of a man who's fighting in a war. But I did have a hard time looking for Johnny Depp in the movie. Imagine, all the soldiers were wearing the same clothes and then they were all soiled and dirty... So there.

Who is Atomicgirl?
Atomicgirl is a single mom who is currently jobless. Well, she does freelance SEO and writing jobs and that keeps her busy. She dreams of being a professional photographer and she dreams of owning her very own dSLR. She loves the Internet and she also collects movies, and good reads. She considers herself to be a fan of Johnny Depp and David Cook. At present, her constant source of happiness is her son, James Nicholas Sky, who is a bubbly and talkative two-and-a-half-year old. Although Atomicgirl graduated with a BA Communication Research degree, this feisty Bicolana is quite satisfied with the industry that she is involved in right now. She now lives in Legazpi City although she sometimes misses the fun times she had during her 6-year stay in the jungle of Manila. She is a woman. She is a writer. She is a mother. And she is most definitely not a saint.

Buy me a cup of coffee.
