shit no sakura! duh. coz i didn't go to yamagata.


and now am trying to hold my shopping fever down. just got myself a speedlite unit,
a canon 430exII. very nice, very beautiful, though i don't quite have the chance
to rev up my creativity engine leaving that 430 buddy staying idly mounted on the
camera.
and then i had myself went browsing in the wrong section of shopping lane, the taboo:
pc parts. damn if i were rich.. i'd dicked out my old OS, and tried windows 7. it
definitely is a lot faster than my previous OS, WinXP. though, still when i start
to think about pc, i get crazy about it. just now i did a thorough research of the
best option to upgrade this pc-buddy, and it was a whoping 60,000yen. shit. thats
too much. but the most wanted and the cheapest one that i want is an SSD drive.
a small one migt do, say 32gb. only for the os and applications. i'm sure the pc
will get a lot snappier than it already is now. the other upgrades in mind is
a direly wanted processor upgrade. mine now is a sluggish e6300 1.86 core2duo.
duh. not so good for gamer like me, plus now that i have a fullhd monitor. so
the best processor acceptable by the system is a core2quad q6700 2.66ghz. i guess
it will be more than double the current perfomance if i were to upgrade. the next
one is a simple graphic card upgrade. from the ol' 7900gs to zotac gts 250 1gb amp!
hell one of a card.

but then i got myself hit by the fact that i need money for the entrance exams, plus
tickets to go back home (notice its in plural!) and presents for my getting-married
sis and upcoming birthday of my dad. already in mind are a photoframe for my sis and
a nice necktie for my dad. don't know what else to buy them. -_-" anyway, that took
about 20,000yen from my pocket. well, its every once in a while thing so i don't
really feel much about spending for it.

anyway, i badly need to study. aha! aha.. yeah. study. aite, off me go..
