Random Thoughts

Of Spending

There is something seriously wrong when one buys something and then feels guilty afterwards.  I am turning into too much of a consumer that I have placed myself on a budget diet.  I have never been a shopaholic and I know I am not one now but something's amiss when one begins to have a sinking feeling in her stomach after looking at her purchase for the day and wanting to lie whenever mom asks, "Is that skirt new?"

Of Stores

I might have written about my shopping ban but still...

Forever21 is here!  The authentic one.  In Megamall.  Plus Payless is opening up (or opened up?) in Alabang, I think.  I don't even know why I wrote that as if I'm excited because I have never fully shopped at F21 so maybe it's just memories kicking in.  Payless though I would love to browse through their shoes.  Note the wording though, it's just "browse" not "buy".

Of Blogging

For some reason, I am currently associating blogging with having a much more editorial content as opposed to "old-style" blogging as in personal blogging where you just jot down random stuff about yourself, like an online personal journal.

So most times I am categorizing posts as "blogworthy" or not and eventually decide not to write anything at all.  This is due to the fact that I know topics I choose and write about are personal/random stuff which has no relevance whatsoever to other people.  When I was younger I actually thought that I'll take a job related to writing -- be it an editor or a contributor or whatever but when I think about it, no, I don't think I'll make a good job at it at all!  Somebody once told me that I would make a great instructions manual writer (!); well, maybe I have the patience to do it but I haven't even thought of doing that kind of writing.  And as for editorial writing -- forget it.  I just suck at that.

On spending - don't feel bad as long as you got a bargain hehe! Kahapon nag-ukay-ukay ako, and I got two kickass coats and a leather jacket for just under 1k. Why don't you garage sale some of your old stuff? Or just donate it to charity? :)

On stores - can't relate much because I'm more of an ukay-ukay person hehe. But speaking of bookstores, sale ang Powerbooks hanggang August 15 and I'm like dying right now. I want to go now na! :P

On blogging - totally in the same boat with you. I'm kind of mixing personal thoughts and editorial-style blogging (if you have read my recent posts). I'm also kind of in a dilemma - should I continue writing personal stuff or write more 'serious' ones that I could show future employers if they ask for writing samples? Haay.

Uy Kim! Korek about Powerbooks! Napabili tuloy ako ng libro. Hahaha.

Go tayo sa ukay ukay. Pero kahit sa ukay ban pa rin ako. :P

Magaling ka sa editorial type naman so no prob! Ako di ko talaga carry...

Pati National Bookstore sale na rin. Waaahhh! I might end up busting the bank hehe!

Editorial type posts sometimes make me feel I'm being pretentious. I don't know why. It's kinda weird.
