im in a discussion with myself whether or not should i get a digicam.
i have some money in my bank, not a lot, but certainly passed if i want to purchase some secondhand digicam from shopee. the only problem is i dont like seeing that money drops. i work every weekend just to get rm90 a week, and i need to save money for when i enter uni later. i still dont know where im going to enrol yet, but it'll definitely going to cost a lot for living. food, books, hostel etc.
every tuesday, i never miss checking my cart, making sure if they restocking the cameras. i aim for sony cameras, becuase usually they are in better quality. but the problem is they are expensive as hell. rm400 and above. my budget is only around 200-300. im just a girl who wants to have her pinterest aesthetic, why oh why do i need to spend this much. being a pinterest girly should be all about affordable and sustainable. but of course men have to capitalize it and make sure women pay more for this lifestyle.
anyway, i bought a digicam. not from the seller on shopee, but from carousell. it was a panasonic lumix. dont remember the model, but it was ass. the camera, i mean, the camera was ass. i bought it for rm280, still a lot for old digicam and it was ass. it cannot capture properly and the only the picture came out good was like one time. of course i regret it. i regret everything in my life. this thing is a waste of money.
to make the situation worst, i also brought a handycam. this one was purchased before the digicam. it was a canon handycam. it was great, i love its quality. but the downside is its video format. because this handycam is so old, the modern laptop and editing app do not carry thhis type of format anymore. so if i want to edit video and watch the video, i need to convert the format. again, we live in capitalistic society, everything is a money making opportunity for capatalists. to convert this video format, you need to pay for thier monthly subscription. which was like 10 dollar. who tf needs to pay that much. so at the end, my videos just sit in the sd card, untouched because i cant figure out other way that is free to convert these videos.
its 2026 now. 3 years after i wrote this entry and never finish it. as for now, two of those devices, the handycam and digicam are broken. they are unusable. they are so old, i cant switch them on. already charge them, but still nothing happend. of course i forever live in misery every day knowing that i wasted almost rm500 for unusable vintage craps. i now learned my lesson and will never buy anything vintage anymore. fuck that aesthetic, nobody told me it comes with maintenance fee.
