Let me get this in writing (In tagalog: itaga nyo sa bato. LOL. Whatever!). After all my Christmas shopping is over, I shall treat myself to some gadget spree. And I shall splurge with all my might, and with all the extra moolah I’ve got left (if there’d be anything left). Heh. Any of the following will make me really really happy. :)

(1) Nikon Accessories for Konks, my Nikon D40

Nikon 55-200mm VR Lens. (costs around $200 if bought from Amazon). I’d love to have the 18-200mm VR lens ‘coz I hear the 55-200mm VR does not support manual focus, but the latter costs more than double the price of the former, boo. I’d love a 10.5mm fish-eye lens too, but I’m not ready for a $500++ worth of lens just yet. Someday, someday. (Or, I can always borrow Ninong Dave’s. Haha.)

AND/OR

Nikon SB-400 Speedlight Mount Flash. :) ($100+) Because I’m loving the use of flash lately, especially with the recent events I’ve gone to which involved a lot of dancing and once-in-a-lifetime kodak moments. I can’t afford to have blurred shots in moments like that.

(2) A posh mp3 player.

I’d love a pink Zune ($150-180), a pink iPod Nano ($180) — second generation, I don’t like the new version, OR a pink i.Beat from Trekstor ($100+). Preference in that order.

(3) Pink Sony Ericsson z610i.

As far as buying a mobile phone is concerned, I don’t have any other choice but the pink Sony Ericsson z610i ($180). I’m not having problems with Bugi (my Nokia 6630) whatsoever, but after more than a year of faithful service to me, I think I’m ready to give her extra help. I’m planning to have another line, just for the heck of it.

(4) Andy Warhol Wristwatch.

Any of the following Andy Warhol watches ($150) will do. *drool* :) The last time someone bought me a watch was my highschool graduation — my parents got me a Swatch, which I wore until sometime before I graduated from college. Since then, I can’t remember ever wearing one. This ain’t a necessity, I know, as I’ve gotten used to checking time on my mobile phone anyway. But I figured, since I’m getting old, this could be a show of my resolution to value time more. And since I’m at it anyway, why not make it posh? :)

(5) Any desktop computer.

..that my brothers and my mom can use back home. Nothing fancy. Just something they can store pics and surf the net with. I actually don’t know what to get yet and where. I stopped looking at desktop computers since I got my Mac. Any suggestions? :)

I guess that’s it. Meanwhile, I’m still not done with my Christmas shopping, I still have a few people in my list. So I guess no shopping spree for me JUST YET. Good luck, Riz. :)

Merry Christmas everyone! :)

You know that pink gadgets are becoming widely searched online when you find e-commerce sites that have an entire section devoted to it. Take a look at Gadget Epoint’s “Just Pink” section, and you’ll know what I’m talking about.

A relatively new site that was just launched mid of this year, Gadgetepoint offers one-of-a-kind gadgets and gizmos and novelty items. Of course, the eye-candy pink collection captured my attention right away, I’m already drooling over the pink nail set, the pink wireless mouse set, and the pink bendable keyboard. Too bad they only ship in the UK.

Anyway, point of the matter is, don’t you just find it bizarre that there’s a whole new niche of pink stuff online (pink gadgets, pink laptop accessories, pink pink pink!)? This site alone, for example, has been getting a lot of hits for my posts on pink dell laptop, pink sony vaio, hellokitty laptop, and pink macbook. Where are all these inquiries coming from anyway? There aren’t as much exposure for blue, green, red, or purple gadgets, are there?

Ahhh. The mysteries of life. c”,)

It’s true what they say. With a MacBook, once you pop, you can’t stop. Boo. But it’s okay, because Sydney (that’s my Mac’s name) is soo pretty she deserves all the attention and pampering in the world.

On the other hand, the one thing I really hate about the white MacBook is, the keypad and the trackpad are both too sensitive to thumbmarks and dirt. I have to wipe it up twice a day to remove the marks, it’s starting to get annoying. I need to have one of those keypad skins already. Also, since I can’t afford to have my Mac painted pink (which would cost me 500 USD), I’m gona have to improvise and find pink stuff to adorn my MacBook.

Here are the next items on my shopping list. :)

Pink Keypad Rubber Skin

Light Pink Crystal Case

Fab Trackpad Skin

The pink keypad skin is already on its way. I’m getting it from this guy, the same person I got my Moleskine Journal from. Really fast and efficient service, you should check his catalog out. And cheap too. The keypad skin is actually sold at P1,500 at the Mac Center at Cyberzone Megamall. But from him, it’s only P650!! :) I’m getting the pink crystal case from him too.

As for the trackpad skin, hurry over to this site and get one yourself. They have lots of different colors and designs! And it’s only P350. Yay. Watch out for my pinkified MacBook soon.

Up next. Laptop bag. :)
