Jireumshin (A Shopping Fever)

(Source: http://www.samsung.com/sec/tvs/serif-40ls001/)

   I know I tend to enjoy shopping a lot. It was one of my greatest pleasures to hang around a shopping mall once in a while. And still it is in some sense. I prefer appreciating a moment that all kinds of merchant try to represent something beautiful or handy in a tangible form to buying a product that merely satisfy my habitual desire. Of course, it is some feeling for me to buy something that I wish to have. And I used to describe one of subconscious desires call on me to get into, as a joke kind of thing. However, I don't think I do have a jireumshin type addiction to shopping at all, but I really enjoy a taste of masterpieces that represent some influence on an artistic form, where beauty of materials is shown to me.

   Now I just can't take my eyes off the Serif TV. I noticed this product more than a year ago and my attention was faded away eventually. However, the new wave is coming in again, to look around it very seriously. Definitely, it took my attention away after a year later.

   But I know that buying is different from appreciating. And a necessity should be evaluated prior to going any further.
