•  Samsung Galaxy Camera - I've been on the lookout for a phone I can lug as a camera when I go out at night. Let's admit it, it's not fun bringing out your SLR if you're out partying and getting wild. I haven't had the chance to try this out but I'm guessing it'll be a nice camera, the phone part, I'm not sure. I'm not really bought by Android--yet.

• Fujifilm X10 - Looks and feels like a vintage camera but it's digital! The exterior looks awesome too. I checked the specs and I'm blown by the different effects I can put the camera into plus the film overlays I can get with it. Not sure if the lens are interchangeable but it'll do for a camera I can bring outside all the time!

Last year, I'm proud to say I was able to control sudden impulses of purchasing things I don't really need. I have learned how my mind works and acts so basically I just have to trick it a little to cooperate. Okay, weirdo in the house. Anyway, yes I was able to save a small amount from my gross earning of P***, 000.000! Yay to me, I was also able to invest on some of the gadgets I wanted. I got myself a dSLR, a notebook and some destinations out of town.

My strategy was not to spend money on pieces of clothing that will eventually go out of style. I favored classic pieces that can be worn over the years without you thinking it might be out of fashion. And since I was also a shoe-a-holic, I had to cut down on extreme impulses on shoes. Especially the lovely ones I see online. Amongst my shoe wish list, I was able to buy only 1 but that's fine. I got a vacation in Baler anyway.

So, since I deprived myself of these things for almost the whole year, I decided to splurge just a wee bit last December.

I got myself a pair of gray Toms! Aren't they purrty?

I was supposed to post this ages ago, but oh well. I'm always fashionably late. I'd still want to share with you what I've had for my family. I shopped at Greenhills because the malls are too expensive for me, I can get my money's worth at Divisoria, but hell knows the money I'll lose out of snatchers and pickpockets is going to be the same worth as the ones I spent at Greenhills.
