Investments

After more than a year of working, I'm finally able to do something worthwhile with my money. Actually, fine, the money's not from my salary, but from my Game KNB winnings. But hey, an investment's an investment, right? The important thing is that I was finally able to raise enough money to put into good use.

Maybe its the season, but lately, I've also been buying major stuff to replace my old ones. As of today, December 13, 2009, I've replaced the two major gadgets that I use, my camera and my laptop.

From a 5 megapixel purple Canon Ixus i zoom, I now use a 10 megapixel pink Canon Ixus 95 IS camera (of course it has to be pink! Haha!) I bought it last Sunday, but I only got it last Friday because I had to order the pink one. So far, it has not failed me. It doesn't have some of the features of my old camera, though. No color accent or color swap features on this one.

After more than 4 years of faithful service, I am not putting Helga to rest. Well, not really. She'll still be used occassionally. :)

Say hello to Kimi, my new digicam! :)

I also replaced Mang Jose, my laptop of almost 5 years. I bought an Acer Aspire 4736z laptop just last Saturday. :) I'm officially naming him Spartaaaaahhh!! Hahaha. Don't ask how I got that name, it's a long story.

I guess it makes sense that I'm replacing my old laptop and camera now, because I also got them both almost at the same time 4 years ago. I'm just proud, because one, I'm paying for the camera myself, and I'm paying for part of the laptop's expense as well. Technically, these are two things that I am paying for, from my own earnings, after more than a year of employment. :)
