What Should I Buy Today ?!

Markets Going Insane

2011-08-10T00:01:00.000-07:00

The past few days have been pretty hectic for me, with my stocks crashing down continuously.... doesn't feel good when you are down 4 digits...

So anyway, I try to look at this in a positive light, and think that this can be an opportunity to buy in and make some money!

Now my question to you is, what stock do you think is promising? Give me some ideas and reasons!

Thanks.

New Phone?

2011-08-02T19:56:00.000-07:00

Hey guys,
I've had my iPhone 3GS for about a year and a half now, and it's been everything that I've asked for. I've had no problems with it whatsoever, and compared to the previous phone I had, this was such a huge upgrade.
However the most epic thing (fail) happened to me. I was playing beach volleyball with friends WITH my phone in my pocket... this was a bad idea. As it turns out
Unfortunately, sand somehow seeped into the screen of my phone... I should've known! I already had many dust particles trapped inside the screen, and I guess sand is no different...
So what happened is a bunch of sand now covers the screen of my phone, and the touch screen is half working, and I am reading half the screen every time I use it =(.

I think I need a new phone soon, but I don't know which one to get.
I don't have any particular phone that I am leaning towards, so give me some suggestions.

Criteria:

At least a touch screen.
Doesn't have to be now, I am open to waiting for a newer one to come out.
Price is not a factor.

Let me know your suggestions!

Constant heat doesn't feel that good

2011-07-27T19:58:00.000-07:00

You know what would be a great thing to get right about now?

One of these. No need to explain.

Isn't annoying when just sitting down is uncomfortable? Stand up and it feels even more uncomfortable. Doesn't help that my computer generates so much heat either... an A/C would be nice too, but it's usually on the colder side around here, so it won't be much use. I've seen those new fans where there's no blade, its like a hollow circle. Those seem quite tacky, but really what's the point? I don't understand the big deal over a fan that doesn't have a spinning blade, and for 5x more money too. Do people like sticking their hand through the fan or something?

More computer upgrades?

2011-07-18T18:48:00.000-07:00

I couldn't resist, I found a pretty killer deal.

Just upgraded my RAM in my computer from 6 gb to 12 gb. I got these:

6 gb Corsair XMS3 DDR3 for...... $33 bucks after rebates. Yea explains why I couldn't resist. I got my first 6 gb of ram for $140 when I built my computer a year and a half ago. Amazing how prices go down so fast...

What to do when tired?

2011-07-11T18:13:00.000-07:00

Tired at work, meetings coming up, ABSOLUTELY can't doze off...

$1 iced coffee from McDonalds.

Didn't really help but at least I had something to drink that was decent. 4x cheaper than Starbucks so why not?

Weak wireless signal... solution?

2011-07-08T22:16:00.000-07:00

Hey guys,

So here is my situation:

My computer is in my room, and unfortunately, the router for my internet connection is located TWO floors down, on the OPPOSITE side of the house. Who knows how many walls are in between...

I tested my internet speed and I get around 30% of the internet speed compared to the computers connected directly to the router. What should I do about this? Then I stumbled upon this:

Possible solution to my problem: Powerline adapter!

For those of you that don't know what this is, it is basically an alternative if a wired connection isn't viable, and a wireless connection isn't strong enough. Have one adapter plugged into an electrical outlet, and connect the adapter to the router via network cable. Then where my computer is located, plug another adapter in and connect the adapter to my computer via network cable.

This forms a network through the electrical circuits in my house, without the long wires!
Unfortunately it does cost a bit, around 70-80 for a pair of adapters.

If you're having troubles with your internet connection, try looking into this alternative!

Thanks for reading.

So.... New Computer?

2011-06-30T22:49:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since my last post.

So one thing I decided to get lately was a computer.
... I suppose it's more than one thing since I got multiple parts to build a computer, but you get the idea.

It was basically a budget computer, so nothing really too impressive spec wise. If you are in the need of a new computer but are on a tight budget, this might give you a good idea of things to get.

I stuck with an AMD processor since they are cheaper than Intel processors, haven't had any problems with AMD personally so I'll go with the cheaper option for a budget computer.
The rest of the parts were pretty standard... graphics card, DVD writer, RAM, power supply, motherboard, and of course a computer case.

So this was my final build:

AMD Phenom ii X4 810
MSI 870-G45 Motherboard
Radeon 5450 (yeah I know this sucks but this computer's not meant for gaming)
4 GB DDR3 RAM
DVD Writer
Mid tower with 400W power supply

Altogether it cost only $337 CAD after taxes and rebates. Not Bad.

Valentine's Day is Coming Up

2011-02-07T16:44:00.000-08:00

Hey Readers,

It's either good news or bad news at this time of the year, and if you're like me, it's time to figure out the perfect gift to buy your loved one.

Personally, I don't think buying roses is that good of an idea (I guess it depends on the girl), so here's an idea you might want to consider:

Ok maybe you don't need to buy that many.

Just buy some origami paper, learn how to make origami roses, and make a bunch of them. Make it look all nice and fancy and you've made a pretty impressive Valentine's gift!

Learn to make these and make a few of them.

Sure this will take a bit more time probably, but I think it will all work out for the best! I guess I am making it sound easier than it is, but it's worth a try =). It's neat, relatively inexpensive, and shows a lot of effort (just make sure the recipient knows you didn't just buy the origami roses).

This is just one idea of many possible great ideas. Perhaps you already have something masterfully planned! Feel free to share in the comments =P.

Good luck to you all, thanks for reading!

Time For Some Cleaning!

2011-01-18T21:09:00.000-08:00

Looking around my room, one thing is certain, I need to clean up.

Some things are simple to fix, like putting away stuff, rearranging things to make my room look nice, but there is one thing that I can think of that I definitely need...

Dusters!

There is dust on pretty much every surface in my room... not just a tiny bit, but quite a visible amount. I think it's time to wipe everything clean. Personally I like using these Swiffer ones because the dust really does stick to the dusters quite efficiently. Makes dusting simple and tidy. I don't know about you, but maybe it's time you do a little bit of clean up too, who knows? It's not as hard as it sounds I suppose, I think it'll only take me a couple of minutes. Such a short time and effort can make a pretty big difference!

Something to Sooth My Pains...

2011-01-10T13:22:00.000-08:00

Hey Everyone,

I don't know about you guys, but I have a tendency to get a LOT of canker sores... it seems that whenever there's a slight cut inside my mouth, it turns into a gigantic canker sore. I'm not sure if it is genetic or anything, but I seem to get it worse than everyone I know =(.

That being said, I've been in pain the past few days, especially when eating. Ever had the experience when you're looking forward to eating good food, only to have the moment ruined by some sharp pain in your mouth the whole time you're eating? I'm very familiar with that feeling...

So this is what I bought today:

I find this very helpful.

This really does help ease the pain for me. Considering how often I get them, I realized it was time for me to finally get something that helps me. Maybe you have a similar issue as me and need to get something like this too! Something to think about =).

Thanks for reading!

Do You Feel Like Buying Anything Anymore?

2011-01-04T13:10:00.000-08:00

Hey Everyone,

My apologies for the absence of new posts lately, holiday festivities has kept me away from the computer.
Now that the holidays are pretty much gone... I am sure many of you are looking at your credit card bills and distraught over it! (Like me). I keep telling myself... NO MORE SPENDING!!... well in reality that is a bit tough.

Well anyway, what do I feel like buying today? A new jacket.
Why? Because personally I only have like... 1 jacket, and where I live it has suddenly became more cold over the past few days. I guess this is more of a need than want.

I guess I want something that looks like this!

My other jacket (yes I only have one other...) is a really huge poofy jacket... so I want something that is more tight to my skin... and looks better! Maybe I won't get it today, or this week, but a jacket will be the next thing I'll get for myself!

Maybe you are in need for a new jacket too, something good to think about.

Thanks for reading!

Merry Christmas!!

2010-12-25T00:05:00.000-08:00

Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas today!

I don't think it is appropriate to post something to buy today, but hope that everyone has a great day today, opening gifts, spending time with family and friends, and eating a nice dinner =).

I will be updating more often after Christmas as I will have more time!

Thanks for reading and your support!

Merry Christmas!

Idea #8: Gift For Your Boyfriend?

2010-12-20T13:22:00.000-08:00

Since I made a post about a gift for girlfriend, I think it's appropriate to post one for boyfriends.
As for me, I can't really think of anything I want from my girlfriend really. So in that sense I give her a really hard time about this =P. Usually I try to think of things I need, and to be honest, I am pretty much satisfied in all that I have.

As I thought harder though, maybe there are some subtle things that I would like, such as a new chair for my desk. My current one is very uncomfortable and my arm rests especially are terrible. They are actually scraping my elbows and causing a few bumps now and then.

I find that finding the right chair is very difficult... it has to feel comfortable most importantly, and it also has to feel durable and must be adjustable. Everyone has different preferences in what kind of chair they feel is comfortable. I kind of like a chair with a high back, with adjustable height and PADDED arm rests.

Now I will love something like this from my girlfriend! (Or just having this kind of chair I guess)

I don't know what kind of things you all need, but maybe your own comfort when using your computer is overlooked! For all of you who still need to get something for your boyfriends... who knows, maybe ask him about it =P. They're not all that expensive if you find the right ones! Maybe you never have any issues thinking of idea of what to buy, but who knows, someday we all encounter this problem of not knowing that gifts to buy for a certain someone.

In any case, good luck with your gift ideas!

Idea #7: A Gift For Your Girlfriend?

2010-12-16T19:43:00.000-08:00

For those of you who have a girlfriend, I'm sure at some point you think or have though that this is a tough one.

Depending on your girlfriend, it can be the most difficult gift to buy. Let's be honest... some girls are just so unreasonable right? =P (Sorry girls hate to break it to you but we can't read your minds...)

So what am I going to get my girlfriend? Personally I'm not one to give a surprise present for Christmas... maybe for her birthday, but not this time. I want to make sure about what she wants before finding it. It saves both of us stress and effort.

Of course I'm not just going to ask her "what do you want?", seems kind of effortless that way. I like making suggestions, mostly thinking about what she needs. And no I'm not talking about daily needs like make up or shampoo or whatever.

So I decided to get her a camera. I guess you can consider it an inexpensive, or you can consider it a very expensive gift, all depends on you. My girlfriend's camera recently died, so I think it's time I get her a nice one. Just a compact one, not a DSLR.

Not gonna get this one, but you get the idea.

Who knows? Maybe you're gonna run into the same question I did, and perhaps you might also find that a camera is an appropriate gift. In any case, happy shopping!

Idea #6: Gift for YOURSELF??

2010-12-12T20:29:00.000-08:00

Sorry I have been busy lately with exams, I will add entries more often after a week!

Here is something maybe most of us never really think about during Christmas... how about spoiling ourselves a little???

Yes Christmas is the time of giving, but what's wrong with giving yourself something nice too?

Over the past years the number of gifts given to me has steadily decreased =( ... maybe this is due to friends moving out of time, me not really asking for anything, etc. Maybe this time around I should get myself something nice to lighten up the mood.

I usually tend to separate my "wants" from my "needs", and this time, I will focus on my "needs". One thing comes to mind right away right now; I just started steadily working out, and I think I need some weights, particularly dumbbells. For the past two years I've been trying to shed a few pounds slowly, and now I feel like maybe I am going in the wrong direction. Maybe I should gain some muscle and feel more like a man =P.

Since in the next few months I am going to be very busy, I probably won't have time to go to the gym to work out, so I am thinking maybe if I get myself some equipment, it will allow me to work out conveniently from my home. I think I am going to get myself a set of dumbbells !

Dumbbells are a need (for me), not a want. Maybe you need a set too!

(Not necessarily these ones shown)

For all you guys out there, maybe you need to build some muscle too! Or maybe you already have some, or maybe you are happy the way you are. Either way, these can be a good gift for anyone, and for yourself. They do not expire, get old, and you can always just keep them for the future in case you do need them.

So what should I buy today? Dumbbells.

Thanks for reading!

Idea #5: Gifts for the Elderly?

2010-12-09T13:21:00.000-08:00

Often times I feel that it is quite difficult to choose out a gift for let's say... my grandparents. It's tough since generally their way of thinking is behind one or two generations. That being said, getting them a gift card won't do any good... you CAN give them money, but I think that is a bit odd. Chances are they will just spend it back on you.

Electronics are also out of the question (most of the time), my grandparents have a tough enough time figure out how to navigate through a cell phone and stuff like that. You probably don't want to get clothes either because it's definitely hard to find the right style. Of course there are exceptions, I am just using my own experience as an example right now.

So is there anything that all of us can relate to? Food? Maybe, but you're not going to wrap some food in a box right?

Here you go Grandma, Merry Christmas!

Yeah that's awkward.

I think what I will buy is maybe like... a Christmas carol CD, or a cassette tape (lol), or maybe even a CD with some songs that they like. Surely they have CD players, and they KNOW how to use that! Of course there are different types of grandparents, different types of personalities, so do what you think is right! Think about what they know and will enjoy, and try to suit their needs.

Something like this maybe!

Either way, some people may like it, some people won't. In my case, I am pretty sure it is appropriate. Who knows, maybe for your grandparents they want a new fishing rod or something! In any case, happy shopping!

Christmas Gift Ideas #4: Gift Cards, Good or Bad?

2010-12-07T14:39:00.000-08:00

I'm sure this relates to many of you reading this. Often times we might wonder if getting a gift card for a certain someone is appropriate, and how they would feel about getting one rather than an actual gift.

In my opinion, it really depends on who you are giving a gift card to, and in what situation. For example, I think it is a very bad idea to give a gift card to a boyfriend or girlfriend, as it implies you didn't put too much thought into the gift. Since they're your boyfriend/girlfriend, you should know what they want!

If you are finding a gift for a close friend and they're always saying "it doesn't matter what you get me", or "I don't know what I want", then a gift card is probably your best bet.

In my situation right now, I have several gifts to buy; a few for my family, and a few for my friends. For my siblings, gift cards may be appropriate because they never indicate what they want. For my parents, probably not, since it would probably be more appropriate if I put more thought into what they need and want, as they would appreciate it much more (whereas my siblings would probably just want gift cards so they can choose themselves).

For my friends, most of them are into video games, computer related stuff and such. It is tough to decide what to get them most of the time, because I don't know exactly what they want... a console game? a computer game? a tech gadget? shampoo? Personally, I don't want to just give money, it just seems wrong to me, and they just tell me "just get me anything". So for my friends, I might give them either a mall gift card, or maybe a Best Buy gift card. Since in my area, there are many Best Buy stores around, it makes it convenient for me and for my friends if I get a Best Buy gift card. I guess it depends which one is more convenient for me to get to. My friends will appreciate it since I suppose they aren't high maintenance, and it saves me lots of stress too.

There are many options you can choose to take, but really be careful who you buy gift cards for! Some people like it, some people don't. Even when deciding to get a gift card, make sure you buy it from an appropriate store!

Happy gift(card) shopping!

Christmas Gift Ideas #3: A VERY Inexpensive Suggestion

2010-12-05T22:48:00.000-08:00

Hey Everyone,

It seems to me that in my entry about my cash back credit card, many of you were saying how you're tight on budget. If you are still stumped on what Christmas presents to buy for people, here is one good suggestion that might help.

This is the Waterproof Minus Ion Sport Bracelet Watch.

A nice watch for all ages, it's durable and colorful. I saw this on sale at a booth in the mall today, and the salesperson was trying to sell one to me for $20....
It's advertised to have some positive physical effects through its "minus ion" technology (although I am skeptical).

Well $20 is quite expensive, but you can get the same item for ONE CENT, yes $0.01! There is a sale right now here:

http://www.brandsdragon.com/products/product_23983.htm

Usually it is a bulk buy item, but right now order one for literally $0.01! Free shipping as well! (Just choose free shipping, and take out the $1.00 insurance). This is such a great gift, and it DEFINITELY fits within your budget! So if you are still short on presents, this is one gift that is hard to resist! I would definitely buy one, it can be appropriate for gift exchanges and such.

So if you have time, drop by the site and get one of these! After all... how's one cent going to affect you??

So what should you buy today? Definitely this sport bracelet watch!

EDIT: UPDATE... It's at $0.99 now unfortunately... I guess it was too good of a deal. But for a dollar still can't go wrong!

ENTERTAINMENT BOOK FOR $8??? NO WAY!!

2010-12-02T23:30:00.000-08:00

Hey Everyone!

I'll let you all in on an amazing secret right now...

For those of you in North America, maybe you've heard of the Entertainment Book. It's a book with some amazing coupon deals (there's different books for different cities). The price of the book starts out at $50, and every once in a while, they have sales.

This makes for a PERFECT gift for parents, or pretty much everyone!

Can't go wrong with this!

Here is how to get in on this amazing deal... (no there is no catch, try it yourself)!

1. Sign up for EBates here: http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=IhEYf3oSLYUjJdBAGniNfw%3D%3D

2. When you are on the site, search for "Entertainment.com Coupons & Cash Back", and when you find the 35% cash back, click on "Shop Now".

3. This will open a new page in the entertainment.com site. This is the part where you have to follow very carefully!

Right now, the entertainment.com site will not show the current $19.99 deal, but prices that are at around $35. To change the deal, this is what you need to do: Right now, the URL should look like:

http://www.entertainment.com/discount/?LinkName=EBATES&affiliateID=12345678|12345&orcu stom=ebs252149147sbe&AID=12345678&PID=12345&SID=eb s252149147sbe&afsrc=1

If this is not the URL displayed, you will probably need to clear your cookies and try again.

Without doing anything else, change the part EBATES to DM_DEC10_C1
The EBATES part might be different, but change it nontheless to DM_DEC_C1

Hit Enter in the URL box.

Now the site should display the $19.99 deal, WITH the EBATES cashback offer still intact!

Search for your city in the text box, and purchase your Entertainment Book for $19.99!

With the $5 signup bonus from EBates, and the 35% cash back ($7 from $19.99), this makes the book effectively $20-$12 = $8!

I bought one myself 2 days ago, and I received my cash back amount in my account today. To prove it to you guys, here is a screenshot:

This is not just a perfect gift, but maybe even you can use one =). Just using ONE coupon in the book will already make up for the cost of the book! I used it for the zoo, the aquarium, and tons of restaurants last year, and saved probably over $200.

I don't know how long this deal will last, both the cash back offer OR the $19.99 offer... and to be able to combine it together right now makes for an amazing deal! This is one good gift for just about anyone (who spends money I guess).

Thanks for reading!

UPDATE: No need to change the URL now, EBates redirects to the $19.99 deal at the Entertainment Book site directly now!

Christmas Gift Ideas: Gift for Kids

2010-12-01T17:31:00.000-08:00

Hey Everyone,

As promised, Christmas gift ideas! Perhaps a few of you need to buy gifts for your child(ren), niece or nephews, and have no idea what to get. Sure there's those typical ideas of getting Lego, or toy cars, or an action figure, but to me that's what everyone gets nowadays. It's hard to be creative, and it's also hard to pick out what to get when you are in the toys aisle at the department store.

Personally, I hate it when I am stuck in that situation... I plan to go Christmas shopping, and I think "I'll just figure out what to get when I get to the store...". That never ends up well, I'm sure you know what I mean! I get to the store, and I can't decide at all what to get... everything is laid out saying to me "pick me! pick me!", its like being totally pulled apart.

What's worse about buying for kids is that I'm not a kid, and it's hard to figure out something good on the spot. I realize it is important to have a good idea of what to get BEFORE going to the store. So here is what I think a good suggestion for a gift for young kids...

Yes, PlayDoh!

I must say, this is not outside the box, it is still a great gift. Most people will go for the Barbie dolls or the expensive Lego packages, but somehow overlook this. It's fun, it's creative, just make sure the recipient is NOT TOO YOUNG, otherwise it'll be more of a pain than joy. This is MUCH better than a box of chocolates (given the right circumstances)! And I'm sure it will be much appreciated =). Maybe this Christmas, this idea may come in handy to you when shopping for gifts; it is reasonably priced, and it is easy to find.

Until next time, thanks for reading!

Another Day Closer to Christmas

2010-11-30T12:22:00.000-08:00

It's one day until December!

What does that mean? Another day closer to Christmas! That can only mean one thing.... lots of gatherings and Christmas parties! Which results in something else.... I need to buy lots of gifts =S.

Every year I have this problem, I end up getting stumped on what presents to get and then end up getting a bunch of boxes of chocolates. I feel sorta terrible after doing that since I feel like chocolate is like a last resort solution requiring no effort. I am sure some others feel the same as me.

So in the next month, most of my entries will be gift ideas for Christmas; for kids, for friends, for parents, etc. But first, I have one other problem... I always buy my stuff via credit card, and in December, my spends spike up like... 3 or 4 times, and I only have one credit card =(. My limit is too low, so better prepare early!

Perhaps this may not be the best advice in the world for everyone, and it is also not exactly something I have to "buy", but I need to try to get another credit card. Personally I like to get a card which rewards me with some cash back, since I can use cash for anything. I don't really like credit cards which make you collect points, and then you are restricted to a very small catalog to use your points.

If you are not a credit card user and don't plan to be one, please ignore my advice! Otherwise, perhaps some of you are in the same situation as me, where it might be a bit frustrating to find out that while you're buying something, and your credit card maxes out. It's good to have back up with you.

Where I am, the credit card I'd like to get is the MBNA Smart Cash Mastercard. It gives me 5% cash back on gas and groceries for the first 6 months, and 1% cash back on everything else. This was the best cash back card I could find in my area.

Awesome Card.

Depending on where you are, perhaps it may be a good idea to explore some options! Who knows, maybe you'll find a better credit card than you're currently using! My current credit card gives me 0.5% back in POINTS, so you can see why I am so eager to find another one, for more reasons than one.

Once I get this card, I will be all set to go out and get all the gifts I need. Many great gift ideas are on the way!

It's Sunday Morning, What Do I Need To Buy???

2010-11-28T21:55:00.000-08:00

I wake up this morning, the first thing I noticed was OUCH my lip was soooo chapped... I have no idea how it got so bad overnight, usually my lips are okay. So anyway, I ended up ignoring it and decided to go on in my day.

Bad mistake.

So when I'm having lunch, someone pointed out to me that I have something red on my lip, and asked if it was ketchup. I didn't feel anything on my lip, so I ended up wiping it, and realized a bit of blood is oozing out of where my lip was chapped. It was so dried up that I didn't even feel it!

Ok so that was bad enough, so I decided to do something about it. Since I already had a chapstick at home, I decided to use it. Over the course of the next few hours, remarkably it got much better.

Will DEFINITELY help you one day.

This is the one I used, and I will definitely be getting this if my current one runs out (which is getting close).

So to all of you who have chapped lips, what should you buy today? Maybe it's time for a new chapstick =P.

It's Cold!!

2010-11-24T22:20:00.000-08:00

Wow it's really cold where I live right now, it has caught me by surprise! I'm not used to this cold weather, makes me want to get something warm... really warm.

What should I buy today? Maybe something to keep me warm, or warm me up.

A cup of hot chocolate would be good! I don't necessarily have a favourite, but from where I am, this is what I would get:

I'm not really a coffee drinker so hot chocolate would do for me. If you're in a cold area, maybe it's a good idea to treat yourself to a nice cup of hot chocolate! It'll definitely brighten your day.

First Entry!

2010-11-21T21:08:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone,

So the first item I would want to include in www.whatshouldibuytoday.blogspot.com is....

Call of Duty Black Ops!

Lately I've been at a standstill as to what I should buy next... Christmas is coming, so I have to buy many gifts for family and friends, gifts for my girlfriend, so I haven't really thought much of buying anything for myself.

Just the other day I saw the gameplay of Call of Duty Black Ops for the first time when my brother's friend came over. It immediately caught my attention, and that little voice inside of me kept nagging at me... "get the game!!!". I have played the recent Call of Duty releases quite often before, but in terms of gaming in general, I haven't really had much time lately. With Christmas coming up, it gives me a slight window to be able to enjoy a good game or two.

I've heard many good things about the game so far, from good reviews, also from asking people I know. Many people I know say Modern Warfare 2 was disappointing, and compared it to Black Ops and how it is a lot better. Personally I thought Modern Warfare 2 was a pretty good game, so perhaps I will be even more impressed by this new one.

Already setting new records for money made from sales during its first week of release, I might have trouble finding a copy actually. I'm going to have to look for the PC version; even though I do have an Xbox 360, I completely suck at first person shooter games on a controller. I'm more of a PC gamer (the last I remember anyway... hahah).

So to all of you who are in a crisis of deciding what to get, maybe this game is the answer! Whether it's for yourself, a relative, a friend, it's always a suitable gift. Lots of people play games nowadays =).

Until next time, thanks for reading!

Welcome!

Hey everyone,

Welcome to my new blog! There's nothing here right now yet, but I promise there will be many interesting entries to come. When I sat down and wondered...

What should I write about? What do I find interesting right now?

Then an idea came up. Why not write about things that people should buy? Perhaps sometimes, someone is thinking of getting the perfect gift, and can't figure out what it is. Who knows, something here might save your life :). I was thinking like... is there anything I want to buy? I haven't bought anything significant in a long time, and Christmas and Boxing Day are coming up! That means... LOTS OF GIFTS (to give)...

Hope you guys enjoy the blog :)
