I. Am. Woman.



Shuffle-Happy

May 17, 2007

It's small, and it clips anywhere!  

I've always loved music and I've always wanted to carry it with me wherever I go.  I had an mp3 player before but at 512mb, it only stored about 60 songs.  I soon grew tired of it.  It didn't help that I wasn't too crazy about uploading new songs every now and then, just to keep it fresh y'know.  

I've never been a big fan of iPods, not because they're not spiffy — because they are — but because I am not willing to shell out hundreds of dollars for one.  Besides, portability has always been an issue with me.  I am not very familiar with iPod accessories, all I know is that I have to buy something to keep it attached to my body.  When I found out about the iPod second-generation shuffle, I was thrilled!  Not only does it cost a fraction of the price of the other models, it is also small and clips anywhere — on one's shirt, jeans pocket, purse, etc.  And at 1 gig, it can hold a maximum of 240 songs, enough to keep things interesting.  I don't care for a screen; I know the titles of all my favorite songs by heart.  And I don't mind that I can't carry my pictures with me or that I can't play games or watch movies while I'm on the go; I am never still enough to have time for that (well, except maybe when I board a plane for home, in which case I think I'll just spend the 12 hours sleeping).      

So I am loving my little silver almost-square of an audio player, paying equal tribute to Fiona Apple and Zsa-Zsa Padilla.

Congratulations on your Apple purchase!! hehehe (you know..ahem..it all begins there. That’s how a lot of people converted.) :P

ikaw ning convert na ka? hehehe. as for me, dugay-dugay pa siguro. but then again, i’m already thinking that if i have the bigger ipods, then i can just connect it to ihome and then i’ll have music around the house. but that’s just wishful thinking.

Oh very much so Pie, I’ve been an Apple-head for 12 years. Waaay before, when Apple had only beige Power PCs. Loyal gyud…iPods are just baits, I think. HAHAHA. Well it’s just so cool and simple.

I have one too. I never got into the iPOd thing until thje clip on came out. I even pre-ordered mine back October 2006. When I’m jogging I don’t even feel it’s there.

get to know the WOMAN

would-be lawyer turned homemaker. (day)dreamer. cloud watcher. moon lover. hankers for a life that's bursting at the seams with books and wine and art. believes she can only get better with age -- and swears by it on her three-inch heels.

got clicked!
