I guess I am having serious Compulsive Buying Disorder(CBD)! I have been buying non-stop since, eh, I dunno when.
I always have the perfect excuse to buy things that I want, making them more like the things I need. At least you feel better as when buying stuff that you need, you are not spending compulsively.
But then, I do use/utilise things that I buy. People with CBD don't usually even touch the stuff they buy. They simply pay, bring it home and dump them aside.
The first thing that I really think I have gone OTT is my mobile. I don't really need all the stuff packed within. It's just the pure glam factor! It was great the first few days of fiddling with it, you know the drill, huge vibrant screen, multiple format of ringtones and a cool hi-pixel camera!
I have been using this for a while, a short while to be exact. Let see, like 3 months? All the pictures you see in my Blog are all taken by this little gem! Cool eh?
At least, this is helping me to make my Blogspot a visually more stimulating place to be.
However, lately, I have been exposed with some mobiles from Sony Ericsson. First, it was the K750. The form factor and design is darn cool! The ringtones loud and clear! The screen was very detailed! Oh, the camera is something to kill for!
Then my sifu in HK changed to W800, which is in every way a K750 plus walkman functions. If you think K750 is cool, wait till you see the vibrant orange of W800!
So, if I were to buy W800 for the 2 reasons above, then I would be buying compulsively. But if for the reasons below, what do ya think?!
This sweet girl in my office is using a Sony Ericsson, if I were to use a SE mobile, then we have something in common to talk about. Things like "I'm new to SE mobile, what does this button do?" "I've got this cool ringtone in my mobile, can I beam it to you?"
Oh, what's better than "Hey, you are using SE as well, what a coincidence? We are meant together!" Hahahaha... I know I know, the last sentence was kinda overkill!
Nah, still no good to make it something I need to buy.
But what if I NEED a girl friend? A girl friend is a person you NEED. Someone you NEED to be there to share your joy and happiness. Someone you NEED to take good care of! Someone you NEED to be there to receive all the LV purses you bought due to CBD!
If you tell me a girl friend is something you WANT to have, then I would despise you! That would be purely on desire rather than love!
So, I guess I NEED the W800 then!
