Slice of Life (New Topic: Off to Tokyo)

[color=#ff0080]I have a Galaxy S. There's a couple of different models, but here's an example. I think mine cost the same as the iPhone, I got it when it first came out.



I'm drooling over the Galaxy S II though : L

Yeah, Imp kinda sold it for me too. And I'm an Apple hater. :P

[font=verdana][color=green]I damn well knew it! I was sooooo going to guess that, as that was the only Android I could think of that would make you not want an iPhone. The SGSII does look sweet, I give it that...I was actually tempted to get that at one point as well.

[color=#ff0080]When I initially went to the store, I was going to buy an iPhone. The sales rep was a really sweet guy and compared the Galaxy S to the iPhone for me. There was no competition and I fell in love with the Galaxy S. And here I am.

-snuggles phone-

Maybe I should make Galaxy S II my next guilty purchase, hehe ❤

[font=verdana][color=green]Well, you made a choice based on the facts brought ahead of you. I did the same with the iPhone 4S; Imperial highlighted both the good and bad of both the iPhone 4S and the SGSII.

If you plan on doing that, ask Imperial for advice, as he - lucky git - has both the iPhone 4S AND SGSII!

Guilty purchases, impulsive buying, i budget my cash wisely so i doesn't really happen much

For me, it'd be buying Pokemon Trading cards from my wallet while having many other important things to buy... such as lunch, on school. Lol.

I used to do it everyday, ditch having lunch from the cafeteria, and go to the library instead, where they'd sell Pokemon TCG, and buy booster packs, every single day.

And now most of my cards are lost...

This store. I love this store, when I walk in I'm weak to nearly everything I see. It has my heart. I have purchased a few things I should have left alone, but I have loved everything I've bought. Frugal as I am, this store gets me every time. XD Take my heart Anthro!!! <3<3<3 Take it and give me all of your merchandise! Fair trade?

On this topic I'll just say...

Kinokuniya, so dangerous. @_@

This happened so many times before...

"I'm gonna spend 50 max! Just a book!"

*enters*

*comes out*

*looks at receipt. Some 300++*

".........................."

almost every month i have this kind of problem.
ESPECIALLY IN AUGUST AND DECEMBER AT CO-MI-KKKKEEEEEEEETTTT!!!!!!!
because at that time,i can spend more than 50.000yen(US$500) in a day or 3 days.

yes even though having an epic nerdy otaku lifestyle in japan can be awesome if you're living near in akiba but you do need to plan ahead sometimes too.
almost every wednesday and thursday there'll be new item,game,figure,etc that has our interest is on sale by that time and if you buy it in limited edition package,you'll get more goodies while your wallet will bleed.
some can be just a nuisance if you just buy it without any knowledge/love but some will be your priceless treasure and you'll be just like Gollum.

@mibu agreed.
and last time i remembered,they have Borders(my 2nd Favorite bookstore) in Times Square and Midvalley.some of their collections is actually better than kinokuniya's collection.

A bump for the bear!

I know this is CTFG but if you're gonna bump the thread you could at least make a response to the topic.


OT: Games are often guilty purchases for me, even if I have only just enough money to buy a game I really want, I do it, suddenly no money.

I've done so already.

As of right now. Everything is a guilty purchase.

I bought so much games and other items that I really don't need.

Now I'm flat out broke. Hopefully these items come soon in the mail so I won't feel as guilty.

Games and Japanese music are the only things I can really think of off the top of my head.

lol mine would be my gundams but I feel guilty before and during the process then afterwards im just too damn excited to build them to care otherwise XD

err only other thing is food -___- idiotically expensive food ie meal usually $5-10 , I usually spend $10-20 on food i really want

Mine would be buying figures and sometimes with food.
I really want this Chun-Li figure. But she's 55USD. I already set aside 70USD for her but the guilt is that the money that i set aside can be used for important expenses such as paying the gasoline for my car, pay bills, food ,and school expenses. I still getting her though, she will be a nice addition to my family of figures. I'll go dug in the sofa for loose change afterwards.

As for food. My mother always tells me you never lose with food but some times i feel that way. For example i go and eat fast food such as McDonalds. I'm really hungry so i go there to pay for my meal and start eating but after i'm finished my stomach will start to hurt and i think to myself "Oh i shouldn't have bought that food". My body always deny'd fatty foods.

My most recent guilty purchase was the Ninokuni game by Level 5 and Studio Ghibli. I DL-ed the rom and found the scans of the book, but I still wanted the actual book in my hand to flip through while playing. I should really have saved that for xmas but...meh, I hate that holiday anyway, so I just give myself gifts on random days.

I am here to inform the Users on behalf of Gambler.

He says he is sorry, but for a while he will be unable to reply to peoples messages or requests for a little while.

[font=verdana][color=green]Uhuh. Thanks for that, I was actually wondering how he was doing recently in fact.
