The Techie/Stingy Approach

Tuesday Sep 22, 2009

I chatted with my mommy blogger friend, Niko the day I posted the new toy Mike bought for Yz. I had to laugh when she commented, “I hope my hubby has a vice of buying gadgets as well.”

When you want to buy a computer, a computer peripheral, a cellphone, digital cameras or dslr or any gadgets, you can always ask Mike where to look for because he is always updated with these products. He researches the best deal online and have them delivered and compares the prices than if he would buy them from the store.

Three years ago, when his Aunt asked him to accompany her to buy a laptop, Mike suggested for the Dell because of the features it has. He so much wanted to have a laptop, and if he had the money then, he would’ve bought it himself. Or if he could’ve heard about dell accessories coupons before, then maybe he could’ve afford it.

They say Mike is a big spender or an impulsive buyer. They don’t know that Mike researches for ages before he buys a prospective gadget, like when he bought his very first DSLR (he used to have an SLR but got mugged). And so he gave me his old digicam, which I broke. Darn..

I’m still pondering if I’ll have that digicam fixed cuz it would cost more than a hundred dollars to change the lens plus labor, or that I would buy a new one and find good deals here. But I guess for now, I should be contented with the old digicam I remembered he had given me 5 years ago. I hope it’s still working. lol

ang galing naman ni mike mo. si hubby ko rin, mahilig rin mag compare ng specs before buying. kontodo research din cya bago mag decide. ganun cguro talaga pag techie… alam kasi nila kung gaano ka frequent mag change ng technology eh.
