post bday shopping...

im not in my territory as of the moment. hoping itll waver me from spending.

before doing the rounds, i spotted a mini boutique outside. i said before we head out of the account, well pass by it and because i just wanted to see what they had. so after doing work- 20 minutes of my staff explaining and giving me a mini tour, it was a risky move to step into that little shop. there were blouses, dresses, havaianas were 15% off. i thought id get out my hands are free from any shopping bags, then when i checked the price tag, i got carried away...... im disgusted at myself.

its not even wearable during weekdays! weekends then, my saturdays are solved for a month.

***pink elephant shop. from top: Php149/$3.8, Php269/$6.11, Php269/$6.11, Php369/$8.38. total=Php1,056/$24.

can you blame me?

i bought an eco bag from the same shop. am not sure what i need it for. its as if i can say to the baggers, 'no, you can put my purchases in this bag', then id get interrogated by securities mistaking me for a shop lifter and be gawked at by sharp judgmental eyes.
i guess ill wait for that move to utilizing recyclable shopping bags in 5 years time? sooner i hope!
my sister bought crazy the marks and spencer organic bags and has 4 of them? i got motivated i guess. why the print? im a sucker for cartoonish prints and got the kids series.

no shopping for the next two weeks. ill focus on other stuff to blog about. uurrgh. must. resist. temptation.
trash me, i just love cheap stuff!!

burp day. . .

it depends if you might find my day dreary but i did what i had to do:

• slept well and woke up around 9a
• watched 'clueless' to revive and start the day right-my sister got a bunch of dvds on sale
• blogged and read blogs
• sent food to the office
• gave food to kids and disabled, those who are on the street, random act of kindness, ive been doing this for 4 years every birthday
• went to church

this was to make my day right and be in a good mood. there were attempts of texts from the staff but then in the afternoon they understood that i was enjoying my time away from it all.

as i was driving i saw this greeting:

*yes i hope you many too.

went to the mall to do very little of shopping since ive already given myself some early present: itouch and phone. i wasnt looking hard for a buy. but i got a few shirts. i just love the fringed cardigan. the other one says shopping girl. its really unbecoming of me. but because you get inspired once in a while, then you tend to choose out of your comfort zone.

**from july boutique, totalled to Php633/$13.18

had a simple sumptuous meal at home with the family.

thank you Lord for the day.

sunday shopping. . .

*deo not included

this is mainly the reason why i control myself to go home after work. i somehow hate spending but it gives me the hedonistic high. i get hypnotized by stuff with price tags on them especially those with SALE on them. i am not a big spender because im controlling my finances due to insurance, credit card, phone bills and savings. aside from that, i still have to set aside cash for my food, movies and the erks for the next 15 days... but i had reasons. i usually do impulsive spending on small stuff. i dont work on having to have expensive stuff, once in a while i indulge but very rarely. if its expensive id wait for 2-3 days, if it doesnt recur then i leave it, but if i go through the canvassing and comparing for the next 3 days then its probably a buy.

am not a fan of belts but since i have zero availability in my wardrobe, i got crazy, i left 1 behind = Php 520/$11.82
i only have 4 footsies for my closed flat shoes, what if i decide to wear them the whole week? = Php100 for 3/$2.27
i was browsing for office blouses, i got a plaid cut off instead = Php 625/$14.20
see thru pouch to organize chords= Php29.95/$0.68
i didnt need the deo but i tried it for switching purposes= Php79/$1.79
replacing an old brush that bent through the heat of blow dryer = Php 65/$1.47
total = Php1418.95/$32.23

im already in guilt but i need these. i knew i was already in a menacing situation for having to pass by the mall.
