What rhymes with anniversary?

Well, for Vince it's a PS3! For me, it's a shopping spree!

Yup, that's what we got each other for our wedding anniversary last April 18. I got him a new console to replace the first one I gave him in 2006. Back then, the newly launched Playstation 3 was a whopping 45K; (now, it's less than 15K). That's why I proposed to him because in my mind, a mere boyfriend shouldn't be getting gifts as pricey as that. He better be my fiance, dammit! To my delight, Vince agreed with me wholeheartedly and married me four months later.

Vince is beyond thrilled with his new plaything (see photo here!). I didn't get him PS3 games, though. He still has tons of games he hasn't been able to play since going back to advertising. But because of my gift, he's been devoting a couple of hours every other day to gaming pleasure.

Do I recommend giving Playstation 3, Wii and other gaming consoles to your hubby? Yes! When it's from you, they feel so loved and appreciated. They think, "She really understands me!" Plus, because it's from you, you get to control his gaming hours! Best. Gift. Ever!

As for moi, I got a shopping spree! I've already bought some cool things but I'm not yet done. This is so much fun! Thanks, Vince! Happy anniversary!

    Hi Frances! Haven't made a comment here in a while.

    Okay now I'm seriously thinking of gifting my hubby with a PS3 because of what you said..."When it's from you, they feel so loved and appreciated. They think, "She really understands me!" Plus, because it's from you, you get to control his gaming hours!"

    Especially the part where I can control his gaming hours haha!

    Happy Anniversary to both of you!

    I read Vince's entry about the PSN issue... i do understand. I guess that's why we don't connect our PS3 on the internet anymore because of those fraudulent issues
    *sigh*

    A shopping spree!
    How fun!
    ^_^

    It's great to gift guys things they feel guilty about buying. I mean, a new PS3 is the last thing on a man's mind when his mind wanders from bills to necessities to gifts for the wife :p You certainly know how to please your man!

    I got my hubby a PS3 for his birthday a few years back. All my wife friends were like: "What were you thinking?! You'll never see him again!" But so far, so good :)
