I
don't do this yearly, but I thought I'd write one down now. I'll be
turning 32 in a few days and I thought I'd get greedy and list down
my wants. And as a change, I won't be listing down some of my other
relatively far-fetched wishes.
So
here goes...
- A new cellular phone. My current phone's LCD is shot, it's doing weird things already, the battery life is very erratic. In short, this isn't really a want, it's more of a need. I need a new phone. I just need a phone that can call people, send and receive SMS and MMS messages, and it should have a decent camera phone (for emergency purposes). I was thinking of having my old k750i fixed, but that just seems cheap, not frugal. I don't need an iPhone 4S, but I'd prefer to have another android phone, but better than and more durable than my phone. Ideally it should at least be an Xperia Active or better.
- Canon EOS 60D or a better model. My old 30D has mold on the CMOS sensor, and only now do I realize how much I miss taking pictures with my DSLR. Point and shoots don't quite cut it when I'm really in the mood to take pictures.
- Olympus TG-1 iHS Tough or Canon Powershot G12. I know I mentioned I wanted a DSLR above, but there are times when a point and shoot (P&S) will do. So why not get a P&S that has more manual options than your typical P&S? I currently have a Pentax P&S, and it does the job more often than not, but I feel a need to control my shots at times and it just doesn't let me do that. But the Pentax does have a lot of cool features that I enjoy using.
- Custom Falcon Northwest Laptop. I wasn't even aware of this company until a few weeks ago. The laptops they offer, along with the customization features, are even better than Alienware's. I'd like a top of the line laptop with solid state drives and top of the line video cards.
- Nike basketball shorts with pockets. These shorts serve so many purposes for me. I can wear them at home, as pajamas, for basketball, for jogging, and sometimes when I go out. They're not only stylish, but because of the pockets they're practical as well.
- A queen sized bed. My daughter's getting bigger, and recently she's been "sleep walking" over her crib and onto the bed with my wife and I at night. So rather than worrying about accidents, I'd rather get a wider bed where all three of us can fit comfortably. Note, comfortably. We'd probably fit in the current bed but it really is uncomfortable, specially for my wife as she is the lightest sleeper among us.
Those
aren't all the things I want for this coming birthday. Those are just
the things I feel like listing down. You all know about my other
wishes. Like my own car, my own house with a big garage to tinker
around with cars, and a toy car (Beetle, Type 181 or Kombi) to
play with.
Out.
