Status: Downloading Complete

DOWNLOADING is not easy. Sometimes it takes you more than a minute to download a music or downloading a two hour film might consume more than an hour of your time. But time doesn't matter if at the end of it you will receive something you will enjoy for your entire life (hehe!).

Before I subscribed to Globe Broadband, I'm using dial-up connection which is something obsolete to me now (hehe!). I always have a hard time dealing with that connection because the connection is always interrupted every time there's an incoming call or if my mom is waiting for an important call, I have to patiently wait for the call and the end of their phone conversation. At last, I got a broadband, no waiting, no interruptions, and no need to unplug the phone line.

Anyway, I'm not suppose to blog about broadband or anything about Internet connection. Have you downloaded music lately? I suppose your answer is YES and I suppose you downloaded either American Idol 7 songs or something you heard from the radio or from the iPod or MP3 of your barkada. I think the reason behind downloading music is not just to enjoy the music itself but also to stay in fashion among your friends. I know someone who always download music everyday to stay "in" among his barkada, so that if his/her friend listens to his iPod he won't feel out of fashion instead he would feel proud that he updates his playlist everyday.

Lately, I downloaded Sitti Navarro's Bossa Nova songs because I feel like I want to relax and I thought of listening to smooth sounds like Sitti's voice (she's really amazing!). I admit, I didn't buy it (hehe!) I downloaded it from LimeWire Basic. I know it's another form of piracy, but I'm always tempted to download and listen to the latest music. Btw, piracy is a mortal sin because it's another form of stealing which is included in the ten commandments. Thou shalt not steal. Oppppss!

If you want to download legally, then buy it [music/movies/games] legally! There are several online downloading sites where you can buy music at a cheaper price like Php30-40 per song and an album which cost around Php250-300. I found this site where you can buy and download music which is available in the Philippines. Click here.
