She died. Just last month…
Our trusted 15-year old Samsung television, who wept with the whole family as we watched Schindler’s List, gasped with the children when they thought Experiment 626 aka Stitch will die in the second movie, cheered for R2D2 in all six movies of the Star Wars saga, finally couldn’t be resuscitated.
For two weeks, we had been prowling across Abenson, SM Appliance and other stores to look for a replacement. The Duplitos had been resistant to temptation so far. The object we are trying to resist – a P199,900 Samsung plasma television set with Ultra FilterBright, deeper black and dark images and clearer vision 18 bit color processing.
Charged to my credit card, that’s only P11,000 something a month at “0%” interest (yeah, yeah) and P370 per day (blech!).
See how happy they are? More space means more harmony in the family… (am I really this gullible?)
Must resist…must resist…
What do you think guys? Are the marketing guys going to bag another victim? Help!

honestly i’d half that budget of yours into getting the best tv i could get for about 100k and spend the rest on building a home surround sound system… the Dulpito’s will surely not regret waching their favorite flicks in their own “Cinema room”
remember, it isn’t about just visual quality anymore, sound plays a great role too

I prefer LCD tv than Plasma TV. The picture is clearer and lower power requirements.

does your whole family have health and accident insurance? if none, what if something unfortunate happens, are you going to pay that 200thousand medical bill with your plasma tv? filipinos have this real knack for complaining about how hard it is to cope with daily living when it is the lack of sense of priorities is what is making life difficult. no wonder thousands have to go abroad, hankering for a luxurious lifestyle when we are not rich in the first place. only the chinese are getting richer from our ignorance.

Notice how the family is enjoying playing with the train set instead of watching television? I guess one does not really have to spend so much to be happy
