Good things never last...




my beloved online movie rental site www.starmetro.hk announced its retirement last month. i was shocked when i opened that email... it was like my 'something very important' was taken away, without me doing anything bad. well, looking at the bright side, at least i had a good full year of enjoying various films filled with laughters, romance, and drama.

at the very beginning, i was confidence to optimize my viewing experience to the max... probably planned to watch minimum 15-20 per month. this figure did last for maybe a month and my regular numbers dropped back to more like 10-12 a month, which is not bad. during this short, yet meaningful relationship with Starmetro, i had watched the good, the bad, & certainy some ugly ones.

it maybe a good pause for now since my exams are coming up in May. now that i so get used to rent movies online, there's definitely no going back to store rentals and my next goal for sure is to look for another 'starmetro-alike' which hopefully will not die on me again.

R.I.P.

good things never last??? 或是得不到是最好??? 有好多事,物,和人都太 available 以致你不在意吧!
這一年當你在享用 "something very important" 的 movie online rental 時, 你可曾想過它會有終結的一天, 可曾在這裹讚揚過它?! (如果多些人知,多些人參加...可能它也不會結束) 反而如今它走了, 你在這兒哀悼...
RIP 的是你吧了!
