Oh yes. It's Johnny. (I love those lines. Yes... those lines...)

When I was in Manila the last time, Allan, Cess, and I were talking about tons of different stuff. One of the things that we talked about was the closing of Yahoo! Photos. I honestly thought it was not that of a big deal and I forgot about it until around a couple of days ago when I decided to check on the site.

Yup. I guess everything that Cess and Allan told me are true. I mean, if you have a Yahoo! Photos account, try to go back. I'm sure you'll be receiving a page that looks like this:



Yup, that's right. You would be allowed to log in. Upon logging in, I get these two important messages screaming in front of me...



So I guess they are going to close down Yahoo! Photos on September 20. Although it would be just a few more weeks away, I pretty much do recommend that you go through your account so you can see if you need to save photos you may have uploaded there.

But there is no need to worry though for Yahoo! has come up with suggestions as per where you can save any photos that you think are worth keeping. They even suggest two options:




According to the site, you can try uploading your photos to these sites:

• Flickr: Share photos with family and friends or the world! You can sign into Flickr straight away using your Yahoo! ID.
• Shutterfly: Transfer your photos and enjoy a free photo book, plus unlimited storage, photo sharing, and pick up prints at Target.
  
• Kodak Gallery: Your pictures join over 2 billion cherished memories. Get Prints in home or at 13,000 stores and a special offer!
• Photobucket: Free service with room for thousands of photos and hours of video. Easy sharing and linking. Great gifts.
• Snapfish: 50 free prints and free shipping. 12c prints everyday, free sharing and storage. Pick up prints at Walgreens in 1 hour.
  

When I did go check what pictures were in my account, I was astounded to find that this was where I had stored tons and tons of photos - those which were scanned and then uploaded, mostly college pics, and tons of Atom Araullo photos. I remember those days... Haha. So, I did download them one by one and I would be transferring them to another site.

I totally loved Transformers the movie! I mean, I was not expecting the movie to be that great but it was. It was the very first movie (so far) that left me gaping during some of the most action-packed scenes.

Anyhow, in relation to Transformers, I did receive an email from a friend and this one shows the robots included in Transformers: The Pinoy Version. I did have fun looking at the photos so I have decided to share them with you too.

This is a test post. If this goes through, then it means that there must be something wrong. 

I am a total spender. That is why I hate going to the mall. And that is also one reason why I hate the Internet.

So let me talk on that. I hate the mall because each time I go there, I find something I want to buy. Or maybe while looking for that something I need, I discover another item that I would like to own. And so it turns out that I bought something that I was not looking for and I was not able to buy that thing I needed.

This would be illustrated by me going to the mall to look for a Johnny Depp movie... say, Nick of Time. While looking for that movie, I chance upon another item - a complete set of Star Wars VCDs at a discounted price. I could not find the Johnny Depp movie so I buy the Star Wars VCDs. Okay. I'm happy. But is my pocket happy? I don't think so. So that means, I still would have to go back and look for Nick of Time hoping that the next time I am there, I would not be able to buy something that was not in my agenda.

And why do I hate the Internet? Sheesh! It is a total marketplace! There are lots of places where you can buy tons of stuff. Like eBay. I look for a Johnny Depp VCD and find an interesting VCD instead - say, Gone With The Wind. Because I have not seen the movie, I bid for the item. Then I do try to look for other stuff in the seller's stash so I can save up on shipping. So instead of just buying one VCD (plus shipping), I spend on tons of other stuff that I have not been thinking about when I decided to shop for that VCD. Geez!

All these happen to me almost everytime. That's why I don't go to the malls that often. Like yesterday, I had to be at the mall to wait for my friend (we were going to watch Transformers). To kill time, I decided to look for some sandals. I found one. Then I tried looking for a blouse. Thank God I was not able to see a nice one. Then I remembered my friend asking me to buy her a magazine for her kid's project in school. So I went upstairs, found a bookstore and flipped my way through stacks of old magazines. I found one magazine, set it aside and then my eyes roamed over to... yup, the pocketbook stacks. All on sale. So my eyes were skimming over titles and authors and found two pocketbooks.

Come to think of it, I have a really high stack of original VCDs at home - most of which I have not viewed yet. And still, I'm looking for more VCDs. Then there's also a high amount of pocketbooks gathering dust and lying around in my room - only two have been read. And yet I'm still buying more. Please help me!!!

Maybe I should check-in into a rehab just like what Paris and Britney did. Maybe that would help.
