What I am NOT buying (for now) :)
Instead of a post on what I want to buy within the next little while, this is what I’m NOT buying.
They are legitimate things I want, but am delaying for various reasons.. some out of my control.
1. Roland RD-700 GX 88 Key Stage Piano
This has been on my list for.. goodness knows how long.
Ivory-like feel to the keys (yes, YES!!), and a baby grand piano-like sound in a (fairly) portable musical unit. Once I do make the plunge, I plan to search for an instructor to help fine tune my skill.
I’ve been putting it off for 2 main reasons:
1. Cost
This, along with the accessories is easily $3000 (taxes included). I’d need the piano, the rolling case for it and a chair (maybe I can sit on some milk crates)
2. Portability
An electric piano is considerably lighter than a baby grand, but it is not easy to carry.
We are planning on leaving the country, so traveling with this and possibly getting it damaged is not my idea of awesome.
I’ll probably end up buying one when we’ve move.
In the meantime, I’m listening to its performance on YouTube videos, and drooling onto my pillow at night, mumbling.. “Roland, baby.. piano.. play… sweet ..sound..”
When I go back to my parents’ place, I attack our (still beautiful-sounding) piano in an attempt to get in my piano music fix before we leave again.
2. NAKED EYE PALETTE by URBAN DECAY
Still lemming after this set. The colours are PERFECT for me. Neutral but with some variety if I need it.
I visited my local Sephora and they told me there is a WAITING LIST. People actually LINE UP to buy this palette, and they can’t keep it on the shelves when new shipments come in.
It is the same story everywhere in the world.
I’ve always thought all the other makeup companies were just as stupid for NOT putting out something like this.
Just think of all the money Urban Decay is making right now. *salivates*
I had this idea YEARS ago, already!
Girls like me, don’t want to (read: don’t have the guts to) wear bright green, purple, pink and anything but neutral/nude colours on their eyelids everyday. We also didn’t want to shell out tons of money to buy eyeshadows in little pots that we keep dropping and is not in a neat, sleek, gorgeous, velvety box (see above).
So when Urban Decay finally releases what every other non-makeup-obsessed girl wants, people are surprised it’s flying off the shelves like gangbusters?
Puh-lease.
Oh well. I’ll wait a year if I have to.
But FB, what about “Clothing, Shoes and Purses”?!?!
I know I’m on a ban for this for 2010, but upon farther reflection I’ve reached a nirvanic, Buddhist zen moment: I really have a lot of clothes. Like, a LOT.
