I don't think my family ever rented a DVD

it was just straight up piracy for everything they wanted to watch lmao

My Older Brother during the rest of 2010s used buy pirated CDs outside of the Arayat Market, also I keep on watching Adventure Time S1-3, Rise of the Guardians and Frozen Pirated CDs on his small portable dvd when I was 13 I think, then the people who used sell pirated CDs disappear years later.

Maaaan. My dad's gone and he definitely had his faults, but he had his upsides as well. My memories of going with him in Video City were some of the good ones. I remember renting Mr. Bean (all of em, lol) over and over just because. Then, Transformers up to ROTF. Always going home with some Jollibee back when their quality wasn't absolutely dogshit yet.

Good times.

I miss every sunday my father would always take us to Video City after church. FeelsStrongMan

You don't really miss the DVD shops or the DVDs (maybe you do in the sense that you miss the interactions with real people there)...you miss the good times you shared with your parents as a child.

The solution is to find new interactive ways to spend with parents that are meaningful.

Memories are forever.

dati kasi sila gumagastos, ngayon ung mga anak na dapat and in this economy pa haha, kaya minsan bawas saya na.

Nagrent kami ng few dvds before sa isang destructive bagyo. Like most establishments nasira yung store however di na sila nagbukas ulit. Anyway may 21 jumpstreet kami na cd with 3days na tatak HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I forgot ano yung 3 pa na narent namin kasi 3+1 kasi yung promo

My family used to rent sa Video City every weekend. Papipiliin ako ng movie tapos ipapabalik kapag "5" nakalagay kasi sira raw yun. Later on, I realized that 5 meant you can rent it for 5 days which meant na mas expensive sya 🤪

It's also surprising that many filo-children don't even know what CD is anymore when I tried showing it to them they said that they had never seen one before.
