Small “Wins”

7 12 2008

Not a month has passed but I already got some of the items I listed in my previous blog post.

Case One
A friend of mine (who by the way just learned that she’s pregnant) has to sell her pre-loved EEE Asus laptop. She kinda needed money urgently so we bought it. It’s black though! (From my list, I indicated I wanted white.) But no biggie. I know DJ really prefers black over white-colored stuff. He’s gonna be the one using it anyway.

Case Two
When DJ and I were at Tiendesitas to attend a close family friend’s daughter’s christening, I managed to buy a pair of white socks at a discounted price from a Nike kiosk. Hehe. Fyi, I don’t like buying socks coz I believe that second to Starbucks coffee, socks are always friggin overpriced.

Case Three
DJ bought me Dunlop badminton rackets the other week. Got a bit upset when I saw the tag price of each racket… coz I was expecting cheap rackets for amateurs like me. I mean, you can buy 2 rackets for P500 only! But the ones DJ bought are P500+ each. After closer inspection, I realized that the rackets are really of good quality (thanks dear!). So I hope I could buy shuttlecocks soon for I need to get rid of my love handles ASAP!

Case Four
I also got myself a new phone for my other sim. Actually, what I originally wanted was to buy a cheap Nokia phone to pair with my ever so trusted N95 8gb. But since the price of a duo-sim phone is reasonable, I just bought a MyPhone B22 Duo for my Smart and Sun sims. Sulit!

Other stuff on my list are books and shirts. Stephenie Meyer’s and Haruki Murakami’s books can wait for next year coz I still have kilos of readings to finish over the Christmas break. Filipinized shirts are not my priority now coz I realized I needed more corporate togs for work.

You know, this is what happens when you make a simple wishlist. :) If you’re the type who gets motivated from achieving small wins, try to make a wishlist that you know you can achieve. Maybe someday, all of the big-ticket items that you plan to have are achieved thru a simple wishlist like this. We’ll never know.

Anybody knows where we can buy economical HP printer that works with both Mac and PC? Hehe.
