Shop Around

There are BILLIONS OF PEOPLE around the world but that doesn't mean billions of people owned cellphones and computers nor laptops. So, don't assume that these billions of people have Facebook account and everyone knows everybody because that's not the case. Maybe there are 100 millions of people with cellphones but in today's time maybe there are 10 millions of people who owned personal computers because computers are almost un-affordable. They are not cheap anymore.

I have two laptops but I don't have cellphone. I owned 4 digital cameras. My eyes are equipped with camera. Ha ha ha! Just kidding. I have long memory and I hope my photographic memory wont be affected when I grow old. Yuck! I'm old at age 55.

So the story is: I went to this electronics store together with my hubby and daughter. I want to avail of its cheap laptop/notebook that was posted in their company's internet website. The laptop was on sale! Wow! Upon reaching the store, there's no parking space available for their customers. We then looked for a vacant parking space somewhere another area on another side far away from the electronic store. Inside the store, you wont believe how many people there but you can see clearly who are the employees or sales clerk because of their neon colored shirts, the uniform they are wearing that time. I don't know if that's the same uniform for the rest of their day to day working days at the store. Whatever! We looked around and search for the one laptop we are after. It's the Lenovo brand 500GB HD for only $229 as advertised in their website. Well, we went around to the laptop/ computer section and there's no Lenovo brand with that description on the internet. OMG! The price of laptops went up so high now that's it is impossible that anyone can afford it unless if they are really into superfast games or they are gamers not workers. Are gamers paid for their participation in internet games? If you know what I mean. I am not into superfast computers because I am into blogging, photography and digital painting. Why should I be in a hurry? You want to be in a hurry, you end up without limbs, feet and hands.

I asked one of the clerks, he told me to show him where I saw the ad. I told him that I saw the advertisement in their website (meaning through the internet) or maybe we have to order it through the net not at their store. Whatever! He asked some other clerks to give me a hand. Or have somebody help me find that Lenovo brand laptop. Wow! He doesn't know what's being advertised in their own website. I told my husband we should just look for another brand of computer laptop in the next department store. There are another stores up there such as Walmart & Staples. We were about to get out of the store when our former tenant arrived. I recognized him right away. Greeted each other with the same old "Merry Christmas!" We shook hands and he said something funny. He is now a cop and he was with his younger cute son whose big mole on the face was very prominent. I can't take off my eyes of his dark mole. I hope that mole on his face is non-malignant, better be it's just a birthmark. We went to the mall, to Walmart to Staples and we saw them again in Staples. I think they bought electronics there and we? We decided to buy at the local department store in the city where we live.

Because we usually buy and shop locally to end up shopping in another city means driving there for 40 minutes to an hour. It's been two years I haven't been there to Courtenay there's no reason why... except for something that we would like to buy  something that the local stores don't have,  for my husband to see his employer or submit work reports other than that shopping is more convenient at the nearest shopping malls and department stores and supermarkets. Now that the price of gasoline is higher than usual really it's best to shop online or to the local department stores.
