Dear Tech Fairy, Kindle For Me

(Upon writing this, I am aware that iPad has been in the market for a while now.) 

Seldom would I long for gadgets.Truth be told, people close enough to me know that I was never a tech-savvy: I am really just not. Period (but that is: circa, 12 hours)

My  brothers would often gift me, though. And I do have a decent possession of some of the "essentials" in the world of the gadget-device buffs: a blue supernova cellular phone (at least 3 years old), a slim white Acer Aspire One loppy, an iPod touch (maybe also more than 2 years old), and that's it.  I never intended to really buy anything else or replace any of them as they are all fully functional. When I want to take better photos, I borrow my mother's iPhone.

I never want myself to be too gadget-dependent or, worst, gadget-thirsty. I don't really buy what marketing peeps say about technology bringing "more convenience and saving time". Why do we need so much convenience anyway? To not do anything difficult? And what do we do with time saved? Spend it to some techlust activities? There you go. Guilty heads.

But I will plead guilty at the moment for my heart is suddenly in love with this e-reading device called  Kindle. Blame the heavy reader in me. The surface is white (though surely there are some other colors, the one I saw kasi is white); With it, one will be able to read e-books, newspaper articles, and the like. And it's white. And white. Immaculate white. Damn, I am really into white and blue when it comes to tech devices.

I am not going to push myself to save for it. Who knows, my tech-fairy might just consider--I am not really here to cry and beg for one, but at least I shouted how wonderful it made me feel when I first laid my eyes on it.
