After a long period of contemplating, comparing and price-checking, I had finally decided on purchasing the Nikon D60. However, when I went in to my local camera shop earlier this week, I ended up having an anxiety attack. Is this strange for someone who has recently gotten teeth work done without the anaesthetic, has walked on hot coals, had her nose pierced 5 times, moved to a place that she knew nothing about? Yes, I think so.
So I had to sit and think why this is the case and yes, I think that I have found the answer. I get nervous about making large purchases. It happens every time I go to pay my tuition; my hands get sweaty, I start to stumble over my words, I can't see straight. Weird!
Tomorrow I am going to stand up tall and strong and hit the "ok" on the pinpad and claim that camera as mine! (I guess this makes it official...).
Buenos noches a todos y a todas!
About Me
- Hopes Travels
- Why "Hopes Travels"? My middle name is Esperance which means "hope" in french (similarily, "harapan" means hope in Bahasa Melayu). Those who know me, know that I hope for a more tolerant and trusting world. One filled with genuine curiosity for things unknown and a joy to enrich our lives with new experiences. I live and attempt to share this hope and zest for life with all whom I meet.
And so begins a life of big ticket item spending! Welcome to the fold, sister!

Oh Christiane! I feel much the same way about expensive purchases too. I don't have a problem spending money on gifts for other people, but when it comes to something for myself - I always second guess!
