Although I am very late due to some constraints in real-life, here are some of my responses.
Last time around, I ended up buying 3 mangas and a comic book, and I just wanted to keep buying it... ._.
I encounter the same problem all the time. Not necessarily when I am feeling down, but I just feel I have to add a particular manga volume, anime magazine, to my collection.
I nearly forgot to help you keep an eye out for this particular title.
There are some local stores selling these katanas, axes, shields, etc. After visiting their showroom, I can’t help but feel that are very well-made, but at the same time, costly too.
Latest purchase was a pair of shoes, which I'll probably wear only once or twice. Still regretting that decision.
Thankfully, I am not a very fashionable person. Then again, perhaps I should change this negative trait of mine, to make myself look more attractive?
Especially now, since I rarely find time to play -.-
Talking about games, I am having difficulty deciding whether to purchase more Nintendo 3DS games. Examples include Pokemon Scramble, Mario in 3D Land, Mario Kart, Harvest Moon... the list goes on. ^_^;;
Oh materialism...v////v;
Although, I will say I have found success in holding off on things I really want. Sometimes, if I know it's too expensive, I will wait to buy it with the reasoning that, if I'm really meant to have it, it will still be there for me when it's on sale. It's kept me from some big mistake purchases ^^;
There are pros and cons to impulse shopping, I suppose. If one does not purchase an item now, it may not be available in the near future, especially if there are limited stocks. Personally, I rather not have regrets.
On the other hand, impulse shopping may lead to some serious damage to pockets, wallets/purses and bank accounts, especially if one is unable to control himself or herself.
@Circe, SamRavster, Melfice: I nearly thought my current topic was about Iphone vs the Android phones. That being said, if I am looking at Android phones, any recommendations?
I should have bought PSP first. *rage rage rage*
since I'm okay with good ol' monochrome nokia back then~
and this
sigh I haven't won any tourney lately T_T but i already bought this thing...
For gamers, a good mouse can be considered an investment... or so I think?
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...
I used to purchase rare “Magic: The Gathering” cards when I was still schooling, particularly those pertaining to blue-themed decks. The same can be said of Pokemon cards, but I only have those from the first generation. I am pretty sure I still have a Charizard foil somewhere. Lol!
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?
More proof that online shopping is dangerous.
That being said, trading your heart for all the merchandise sounds like a fair deal. :P
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++*
".........................."
If you visit some of the larger branches, the danger level may go further up. At least, that is what I have heard from others. ^_^;;
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.
“My precious...”
I believe it would be a fun experience for any of the Fakku members to go shopping with you in Akiba. =)
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.
Not to mention the holiday season is just around the corner...
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.
Since it has been a while, can I assume that these items have safely arrived in your hands and brought you some enjoyment?
Some of these imported CDs and music can be quite expensive at times, based on what I have observed... am I right?
err only other thing is food -___- idiotically expensive food ie meal usually $5-10 , I usually spend $10-20 on food i really want
Thinking of those MG and PG model kits will make any collector happy. Lol!
Inflation has also increased the price of food over here too.
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.
Likewise, I think I spend too much on figurines as well. However, we need some form of enjoyment every now and then... right? Otherwise, life will be quite stressful.
Some people can’t take certain food, but from your post, I don’t think you are allergic to fast food?
Yay! Nothing beats holding a physical book in one’s hands, instead of mere scans!

My latest guilty purchase I guess was buying my katana. I went to a Sci-Fi con and as soon as I saw the katanas I had to buy one. I HAD TO!There are some local stores selling these katanas, axes, shields, etc. After visiting their showroom, I can’t help but feel that are very well-made, but at the same time, costly too.

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.

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.Yay! Nothing beats holding a physical book in one’s hands, instead of mere scans!

New topic: abusive friends who eat you after you steal their only food left?I can relate in a way. I have been going to this youth church for the social aspect lately. The people are friendly there and open to most discussions, including anime. They are my bros and little sisters but everytime we have cell group there is always small crap that they will put you down for. Getting sick of the manipulation but find it hard to leave my friends.
@FOG: Nice when will Blanky and you be going to comiket? Is Rin going also?

From what I have heard, the limited edition of Fate/Extra and other related merchandise have been selling very well (and fast) these days, perhaps partly due to the popularity of the anime series?

Sometimes, we should enjoy life by eating good food. Just don't overdo it and at the same time, not forget people who are suffering from hunger.
Cookbooks are a good source of knowledge too.

Christmas is just around the corner. Has everyone been good this year? Perhaps Santa Bear may help to fulfil your dreams and wishes!
That being said, I would like to hear about everyone’s wishlist, regarding of whether the objects in mind are tangible or non-tangible in nature.
Without further ado, mine would be as follows:
1) A particular girl to become my girlfriend. Although things aren’t going smoothly, I can still hope... right?
2) Good health for my family members, friends (including you people) and myself
3) A brand new laptop?
4) More figurines, manga, and 3DS games?
I am sure there will be more items to add to my list, but my tired brain can’t seem to recall them right now.
Last but not least, Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!

I'd love a new PC right now, this old thing is getting on in years now lol.
My laptop is following it as it keeps crashing daily but that can probably wait maybe.
Some games as usual maybe.
Can't really think of much else, I don't really need a big lot at the moment.
