Advanced Birthday Present

I gave in.

I wanted to have a tablet for Christmas and today it became an advanced birthday present. Thanks to hubby.

Before I gave in, he was actually asking me if I needed it. I told him, he was actually asking the wrong question. Of course, I didn't need it. But, do I want it? That is the question. Well, obviously, I gave in.

But mind you, I almost said no to the second question. I was a bit shy and guilty. Is it splurging on our part? Am I splurging? What about those fears that I had initially of us having lesser talk time at home when we get a new gadget? Yes, for sometime now I have been wanting a tablet, but when I had the chance to have one, I suddenly found myself backing out. But of course, I DIDN'T.

I am now using my newest gadget as I write this blog. And aside from being amazed with technology, I am loving the fact that it is indeed very handy! The thing is, I should set my limitations as well and be a model for my little boy, who, like me and his Papa, has the tendency to be addicted to gadgets.

We didn't get an ipad2. After reading all the reviews, we felt that we can have a better deal with what we bought. It is a bit heavier than the ipad2 but aside from that the other features are better. The cameras, higher resolution, HDMI and USB availability, it is android, and has an SD card slot. Of course, it will never match the popularity of the ipad2 (being a Mac/apple product), but we get more value for our money :) Before I even forget to mention it, hubby got me an Acer Iconia tablet :)

Needless to say, I am very happy with my newest gadget.

Thank you to my ever generous hubby, for this wonderful present :) Yep, he'd rather spend on gadgets than buy me designer bags hehehe Well, I guess, I will just have to save up on my bags ;)
