I can fill a decent-sized sheet of paper with stuff that I need and want, complete with estimated prices.  Thing is, I am still battling with myself if I should divert my hard-earned funds towards stuff that I know will not generate cash for me and will eventually clutter our small house.

Gym shoes.  What I currently use is a pair of Nike bought at 50% about 3 years ago.  It was designed for trekking, but used it for casual weekends and trips to the mall.  Now, I use it to the gym and the sides of the sole are beginning to unstick, making it look like it’s smiling.

Work slacks and shirts.  With my promotion, I think I need to dress the part a bit.

Work shoes/flats.  Same as above.

Work bags.  I only have a huge, unstructured bag that I use everyday, and it doubles as gym bag.

Karaoke night.  My friends are a-wanting a treat due to my promotion.  I do have the funds but I’m still looking for a venue where we can let our hair down for hours.  Gym buddy has offered his house.  We’ll see about that.

Those are my needs.  Now for what I want…

Digital camera.  I only borrow my sister’s Sony Cybershot whenever there is an important occassion with friends, but I want a camera that I can lug around even on ordinary days without worrying if my sister will need it.

iPod.  Recently my sister asked if I will take her 80gb iPod for 4K payable in 2 months.  She wants to buy a 160gb one.  I refused though I do want it.  I took into consideration my recurring ear infection and my pining for a camera.

Camera tripod.  Even if I don’t have my own cam yet, I can use it with my sister’s.  It’s pretty hard to get everyone in a picture without one, unless there’s always flat surface where I can put and set the cam.  Or a kindly passerby who won’t run with it.

I need the money fairy now.
