I'm a certified gadget sucker! ewww!

The long wait is over...GITEX is finally here! Gitex is an annual event in Dubai where major suppliers of gadgets, softwares & other IT devices including home appliances showcase their products thru exhibitions and putting their items on S-A-L-E...incredibly low prices, that is! The event will run from Nov 18 til 24th...I hurriedly went to Airport Expo last Saturday (the 1st day of event). I had no intention of buying anything...though there was a Dhs15 entrance fee, I just wanted to be there to witness the event and to have an idea of the items in store...but to my surprise, as I got out of the EXPO building at exactly 8:58PM (the Expo closes @ 9PM), I was already carrying paper bags loaded with gadgets...whew!...what can I do? Temptations...temptations...temptations...I just told myself...this is just an annual event...if I don't buy now, I must wait until Nov 2007 which is very far from now. That pacified me a bit...but hey! That was the same thing I told myself when I bought Macbook, Sony DSC-H2, Sony Cybershot,Creative webcam, HP Photosmart C381, Pioneer DVD Player, iPod and HP Laptop and tons of laptop bags (which I'm slowly selling each one now, ahihihihi)!!!

Well, I really enjoyed the Gitex Shopper last Saturday...the reason why I keep on sneezing and coughing now...really got tired walking past along the many booths and stores! As I said, I did not plan to buy anything, but I just couldn't resist the temptation...gadgets were everywhere! If I would not be preparing for my wedding on January, I could have bought 60% of the items there...good thing! (But I am not rich as you may think...just brave enough to swipe my credit cards...huhuhu!) Okay...okay...now, I got a Playstation Portable (PSP)-- BLACK. I was looking for a WHITE one but to no avail...they have pink, they have black, but no white...duh! So instead of the Pink version (which I can see as a "Game&Watch 4th generation"), I opted for the Black one. But...they have no GIGA pack available...after so many scouting done, we (with Randy, of course, another super gamer!) chose the Value pack and just bought separately the 1 GB memstick.

Randy, on the other hand, bought a portable Nextbase DVD player for my soon-to-be FIL (sige, kaskas lang nang kaskas...huhuhu...baon na po sa utang!).

Oh, did I mention that at first (this is the 1st time I thought of buying..how many times do I have to tell you that I did not plan to buy anything! hahaha!), I was supposed to buy Ipod Video 80 GB...but after Randy's hypnotism (for PSP), I left the IPOD VIDEO idea...so here it is...I'm a certified gadget sucker...but I am a Woman and soon to be wife! =(







Should I be more interested with kitchen & garden tools than these stuff?!? Now, tell me....

Oh by the way, these are my new shots (just playing around with my camera, using PSP as the subject):
