When I was a kid, I always wished for a camera. I dreamed about capturing the world around me—the sunsets, the smiles of my friends, and the little moments that made life special. I would imagine how amazing it would be to have my very own camera, and I never stopped hoping that one day, my parents would buy me one.
I tried everything I could to make that dream come true. I worked hard in school, getting good grades and doing all the house chores without complaint. I thought that if I showed my parents how responsible I was, maybe they’d reward me with the camera I wanted so badly. But no matter how much I tried, the camera never came. HEHE! But you know what? I didn’t feel bad about it. I loved my parents, and I understood. I knew they had other priorities, and I respected that.
As I got older and finished my studies, I finally entered the working world. I started making my own money, and that’s when I realized just how hard it actually is. There are so many things that demand your attention and your finances. Back then, I understood why my parents couldn’t buy me everything I wanted, but now, I understand it even more. Earning money is tough, and making it stretch to cover everything you need is even tougher.
But eventually, after saving up and prioritizing, I did it—I finally bought my own camera. It wasn’t the fanciest one out there, but it was mine, and I got it with my own hard-earned money. Holding that camera in my hands was such a rewarding moment. It wasn’t just about the camera itself, but about everything it represented—the hard work, the patience, and the understanding I had gained over the years.
Now, every time I use my camera, it reminds me of how far I’ve come. It’s a symbol of my journey from that hopeful kid to the person I am today, who understands the value of working for what you want and appreciates the sacrifices that others make along the way.
SUPREMO 4K – Action Camera
Look at what I bought with my tenth salary: a SUPREMO 4K with all the accessories. But after a few months, I had to sell it to someone who didn’t know how to pay the remaining amount. I sold it because I needed money at the time, but I really made a mistake in choosing who to sell it to. What a waste! It’s been several months, and they’re about to get married, yet they still haven’t paid me. It’s so frustrating, but I’m also too embarrassed to ask for the payment. Not today, but I will buy another one to ease my regret. TSK! Such a shame. I wish they’d just consider selling it back to me. It almost brings me to tears thinking about it. My first purchase, and I ended up failing. Anyway, it’s no longer in my hands now, so I have to move on. I believe I’ll be able to buy another one. Hehehe!
Instax Mini 8
I still didn’t learn my lesson, dzai, because I’ve been wanting this camera since high school. It all started with watching Asian dramas, which made me curious, so I googled it to see if this thing really existed. And there it was—I didn’t learn my lesson and ended up buying it. The problem is, I can’t afford the film since it’s even more expensive than my phone. It’s intense! But it’s okay, it’s worth it—cute and stylish. Hahaha! I’m just afraid to use it since I’m an expert (sarcastically). Haha! All my shots so far have been epic fails. The photos are either missing this or that. I can’t align it properly. I really need more films (which means more money). Lol~ It’s okay, my next goal is the Instax Square SQ10. Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully.
