Even though I'd go for black clothes to conceal the flabs, I don't own much black stuffs. When it comes to bags / wallets, I would always go for red, and for footwear, it was a toss up between pink and brown. When our desktop PC finally gave its last breath, it gave me the chance to get a laptop so I could bring it during my travels and be not worried about work... and yes, the Facebook games. :)

Getting a new laptop wasn't an easy decision - brother and I discussed about the aspect of traveling and documenting life... and since I would also want to own a DSLR camera in the future, carrying my luggage might be a difficult thing - weight wise. In the end, instead of getting a laptop with DVD player (which I need to access my old files), I went for a netbook that is quite lighter. I realized, the weight wasn't really the issue - it's how long I will be carrying it. So if I decide to go out of town and take it with me, I would be keeping my focus on the trip and not my straining shoulders because of the weight.

I gave myself 20K for this gadget. I don't want to go over that because not only am I a very thrift person, I also value money. I don't see the idea of getting a very expensive gadget if I can get the performance I need in a much cheaper one. I decided to get the Lenovo S10-2, after seeing that my former high school classmate bought one last year, and still hasn't complained about it. Personally, I seriously hope to get the purple one (converging specs and fashion sense), but the store only had black. I took it anyway, because I have called different shops, and learned that net books in different colors meant paying at least 1500 to the black one. If the color would be the only thing that separates them, I would be happy with the black one.

I called my net book Yoko, after Yoko Ono. Well, Lenovo sounded a lot like Lennono (John Lennon + Yoko Ono), and because I love this couple so much, I named my gadget Yoko. When I get my DSLR camera (I don't know when will that be), I will name it John. :)
