Pleasures and Pains of shopping

Like, I mentioned my weekend went past in a zoom. Had loads of fun and now the fun is driving me crazy. Somehow taking a break seems like a crime, when you are neck deep in work. Anyhow, I dont want to get stressed out writing this post, as I want to share the exciting time, I had. Movie Time: Yeay! I have realized that, if I watch a movie, I go on a movie spree and if not, I seek complete abstinence for months together. So, this time, we went to watch this hilarious comedy movie "Yours, Mine and Ours". It was total fun and unrealistic. Well, after all you can't imagine 18 children in an American family, living together in a Light house:D Well, anyhow, I would recommend that movie if you want to spend some decent 90 minutes of laughter riot. Yeay! of course, the number of kids could have been reduced. Who cares?? Above all there is this hunk "Sean Faris" who bears a striking resembelance to none else but "Tom Cruise". Yeay..except that he is Tall!!!!!!!! Well, we decided to stay up for the entire night, so that we could go for the early Thanksgiving sale at 4:30 AM. We ended up watching another movie "Devdas", following this movie. That was the only movie, that could keep us up:) ************************************************************************** The Morning Shopping Hmm..For the first time, in US I saw the opening of a store. 24 hours Wal-mart, was closed for Thanksgiving and opened at 5:00 AM. It was crazy!! These people all trumplin one another, just so that they would attack the cheapest thing, before someone else set their eyes on it! It almost resembled like a stampede. The usually sophisticated amroos, breaking through a crowd of people, without saying "Sorry, Please, Excuse Me". I finally bought myself a Digital Camera!!!!!! Now, I have no clue what the resolution and all mean (I bought it on a friend's recommendation:D) Anyhow, that was the only thing I really wanted to buy. Its a HP E317 5MP camera. Thats all I know and I got it for 88$. This is all that matters. Well, somehow, I cannot buy something only coz the entire world is buying it. Never felt like buying one, until the time when I actually bought one. I love my film camera. I love the feeling of having a hard copy of pictures in my hand. My entire house is adorned with pictures taken at different moments. I know, all this could be done with a digicam also, but considering my enthusiasm for gadgets, I dont think I would be doing it:( Secondly, what else can you buy on sale..Yes!! CLOTHES! I ended up buying branded clothes for much much cheaper price. Yeah! I am a cheap shopper. I don't care. I cannot convince myself to buy a 60$ worth jeans on regular days, when you can get the same one at 3 times lower price on sale. Again, I treated myself to GAP jeans. This has been a record for me. Every year, I buy an awesome looking GAP jeans for $9.00. They are the only one who carry my size of jeans:) A logitech webcam for 10$. Then I bought 2 sweaters. No matter, how many clothes I have, I have to buy new winter clothes:) Last, but not the least..A foot massager:) Off late, I had realized that I did not pay attention to my feet. This was just an impulsive purchase. Overall, this time I decided that I would allocate 200$ for my Thanksgiving shopping. Guess what, I managed my shopping in that money and ended up saving some also:) *********************************************************************** Life is all good until here. BTW, I have to still take lessons on photography and I have to yet unpack that camera from its box. I am containing that, coz the moment I do that, I will start playing with my new toy:) and I will forget all my studies. So this can wait:) By the end of it, I was so tired that I slept the entire afternoon. But, yeah it was worth tha pain, coz in the end it gave me satisfaction that I bought lot of stuff at a much lower price!
