Online Shopping Nightmare

There's a first time for everything and that includes having a really bad online shopping experience. 
I have never had a problem with Lazada...until these past two weeks.

I just wanted to get one of those cheap portable DVD players you find a lot in Philippine tiangges. So I ordered one from a seller (JKCH Trading) in Lazada.

I ordered this one

Basically, an 11.8 inch with this interface.

The problem is that they sent me the wrong item.

ENDGAME

AVENGERS ENDGAME REVIEW
warning: long post filled with spoilers

The Final Fight
  • I love the part where Thanos just waits for Thor, Iron Man and Cap to come to him and says "You couldn't live with your failure and where did that take you? Right back to me."
  • The ensuing fight scene. I know that Thanos' villainous motivation was either a hit or miss with people but regardless of what one's opinion was on his 'balance the world's resources' agenda, I think it can't be denied that it gave us an extremely entertaining story. 
  • Thanos as a villain...showing us what it means to have a large scale cosmic villain. Not just one who blows up a town or affects a planet or a nation...but one whose schemes affect the entire universe. I just loved what a menace this guy was and how difficult it was to fight him.

    I enjoyed watching the Trinity get clobbered not because I wanted them to lose (far from it!) but because it showed how much they had to put up with and in effect- how heroic they were to keep going on despite getting the shit beat out of them. The scene where Thor almost got sliced by Stormbreaker (with Thanos pushing down on it) was terrifying. I felt that Iron Man was going to get ripped in half at one point as well.

More computer problems


I feel like I'm the only person in the world experiencing this problem. I just opened my laptop now (and I haven't done so in a long* time) to draw...and the mysterious lines started appearing already. Around 7:20pm Philippine time onwards.




It really feels like someone doesn't want me to draw and I can't think of any reason why. I'm not a professional- still a beginner actually. Drawing is something I do just once in awhile as a hobby. But whatever is happening all feels designed to make me not use my laptop the way it's meant to be used. A lot of people have 2-in-1s, tablets, Wacom tablets, etc. Why do I feel like I'm the only one experiencing this problem? Also, my Wacom tablet just mysteriously stopped working a few months back. I don't think its connected but I can't use it either. There has to be a way to prevent this from happening. The last time I opened my laptop a few weeks ago, it was erase marks. The head of my character was partially erased - similar to the lines above, in linear fashion.

I really don't have the time and energy to keep adjusting the drawing every time it happens. I don't know if it's a virus, or malware or a computer glitch but it's really a big problem when it happens so often and no amount of antivirus protection will solve it. It's just this mysterious problem that keeps coming back. I don't think anyone would like to experience this. There has to be a way to remove this permanently. I just want peace of mind and to not feel harassed all the time when this happens. I think this is normal and not exaggerated. I don't know the cause but it really feels like you're being harassed and in a pretty terrible way.
