Comments on: Post holidays sales can cheer retailers http://www.knoizki.net/2007/01/05/post-holidays-sales-can-cheer-retailers/ My life in this city project a lot of things - it's all about the taxis, the billboards, the sidewalks, the cinemas, the zebra lines, the lights, the cars, the sounds, the people, the skyscrapers and the shopping malls.

It must be quite expensive. It only has a 2.5" screen, but that is fine for its size. As much as I would like to get one, it seems a waste since we do have a small 3 year old 5.1 MP Sony Cybershot that takes great pictures and 2 DSLRs in the family; my new Nikon D200 and my wife's 4 year old Fuji S2 Pro. I would rather spend that money on a new lens for my DSLR than a new point and shoot. In Taiwan, the Fujis and Canons have been doing quite well, those whose back is almost just a screen. I find the screen OK, but when I take pictures, I rarely check on the screen to see if the pictures are good. I might do this after I have shot 200 pics to eliminate the worse ones, but still. As much as I wanted a giant screen before, I find that it just eats up the battery life of the camera nowadays.

Sa dami di ka na makadecide kung alin ang maganda. I don't know if this is a good investment pero dahil mahilig ka sa photography, BUY NA! Zara on Sale is like an equivalent of Giordano & G2000 shops na. European brands are topping up on sales. You won't believe it's consider rude to even leave the shops without a paper bag. I still prefer A|X shop when it comes to shirts & jeans. I still like to have one Cavalli shirt pero mahirap makibagay sa mga Chinese, di kaya ng aking plastic. Hehehe. I even saw Dawn Zulueta upon leaving the shop at Lane Crawford - ganda pala nya in person. Baduy kung yayain ko syang mag pa picture diba? Sayang! So many cameras too choose from.

Kelan kaya ako makakarating diyan? I saw your new Canon DSLR camera. Asteeeegggg! Pahawak ng lens. <strong>Range</strong>, which is which, Canon or Nikon digital camera for me? I've been wanting to purchase one, the cheapest but good quality pictures. I'm still thinking for the laptop MacBook. Can't wait for the Chinese New Year (extra money) from red pockets - I'm sure you'll enjoy the Chinese New Year.

Pero bakit ni minsan ang LV hindi mag sale - masyado silang pricey at high maintenance ang mga Chinese. Imagine a leather (sting) shoes in LV could cost HKG$11K? Ano yun gold? Kaaway ko ang shop na yan, my last wallet purchase there was last mellinium pa, di mapalit palitan.

In HK, winter months is the most trendiest season ever, you will find people dressing up pretty much everyday even if the cold weather only goes down to 9 degrees. And I don't really enjoy that much since I don't spend my money on leather jackets, etc but I can still survive it. <strong>JC,</strong> the new slim video camera these days is worth around Php 30K up but I still opt for a digital camera. I don't find video exciting to carry around in this city, I'll leave that for the tourists. Kaya mong bumili nyan syempre. Wengistien, thanks for the link.
