Last Saturday, we thought we’d treat ourselves to a break after the hectic finals period so we went to SM Taytay for some sanity and quality time. Fortunately, while passing through the hardware section of the department store, I came across an audio cable that I’ve been meaning to buy but have always forgotten to for God knows how long already.

After inspection, I told andrea I’d take the cable to try it out on the old speakers that we have at home. After tinkering a little bit with it, it’s now hooked up to the system and has become an integral part of our living room. It’s made film-viewing a totally refreshing experience.

You see, since andrea’s accumulated quite a lot of episodes from some of our favorite TV shows (through torrents), we’ve spent quite some time watching in front of her laptop lately. Hooked up to her computer, the newly-revived subwoofer system treats us to some surround sound experience, and all without the hassles of theater seating, falling in line, or even paying for the tickets.

The cable is only a hundred bucks and the torrents are free, but the best thing about it – with andrea by my side and newly-microwaved popcorn on the other  – the experience  is priceless.
