The Faithful One...

Ever since I came to Abbotsford, I have been wanting a different new "toy" everyday. First it was a new laptop ($1000+), then I thought maybe I should get a desktop since I never had one and Dell had a super duper deal that Justin was trying to tempt me into buying ($450+ and of course, he purchased one himself. Oh that computer geek!). After I went to bed that night (as the Chinese would say), "tucked up my pillow and thought real hard about it", I decided I don't want one anymore.

I was getting some work done on my laptop the next day and thought... if only I have another computer monitor, then I'll have a double screen so I can watch Chinese series at the same time with that other monitor ($200+). Then somehow I got over that, but sooner after that thought went away, Justin (yes, once again, it's Justin...) tells me about this mp4 camcorder from eBay ($120+)!

Well, at least with each new item that I want, it gets less and less expensive! But yesterday... I wanted one of those black babies/wives that everyone seem to have these days.. a DSLR camera! According to Alexei, $1,000+ for the figure/body and another $1,300+++ for one of those pro-grade lenses!

Or! I can get a consumer DSLR and a kit lens for about $700+ and that will get me very decent photos...

Ooooooo!

Well, while I've been going through all these struggles of mine everyday, this whole time LP just wants a PS3 to play Metal Gear. I guess he's the faithful one...

This blog post is dedicated to Mr. Garvin Lee. STOP BUGGING ME TO POST, you blanket stealer! Unless maybe you can get me one of these toys for my birthday!

For the record... I am not stealing Caryn's blanket. I was simply sharing with Caryn, a symptom of being married. :p

if your hands are small... get an xsi kit. (or used xti). if your budget allows... a 5D and 24-70 2.8 :p
