It's very painful honestly.
Today I was with my parents and cousin who came from Canada to visit us and he bought himself a new cell phone, mouse and pretty much more.
The phone itself would've cost more than the only item I wanted to buy. A Lady Gaga Monster Tour earphone.
I knew telling this request to my parents they'd immediately reject this offer. I don't think they'd accept even if I say I would pay it - which I can afford. But they bought something that is more expensive than the earphones - without hesitation.
Now if you ask me, everyone beside me is carrying Androids, iPhones, iPods, iPads, HTCs, Pocket PCs and whatever. Yes - not even an iPod do I have. Well I don't like to compare, but I am just wondering why an iPod would mean so much to my parents - even if I offer to buy them myself.
So I was in the shop, staring at iPhones, phones and more phones. My dad was explaining every detail of the phone to my cousin and I wasn't even bothered to listen. Mum asked me to, so "I would know more about this kind of stuff". My question was: why would I have to know about these things knowing I won't get them anyways? I raised that question and she went silent.
Going silent wasn't an option for me, honestly. But what could I do?
I decided to walk out of the shop, otherwise I mightn't be able to stand the temptation. That kind of worked, honestly.
I guess shops just aren't my best place to be.
