splurge now, regret later

October 21st, 2005

this is horrible. i barely resisted the urge to buy useless stuffs AGAIN. right after i submitted the project, i decided to head straight home and try not to buy anything stupid.

passed through greenbelt 1, ok. it’s not on sale.

passed through greenbelt, ok. nothing good.

passed landmark, ok. there’s a sale, but nothing new.

while in glorietta, almost near the exit, is a tiangge i used to frequent. there are a lot of bohemian trinkets; cheap and cute slippers, skirts, bags and tops; cute what-nots; and yummy sweet-spicy thai tamarind.

arrg! i’ve just exchanged a couple of benjamins into peso, so you can imagine how horrible it was for me to resist. my sister used to put a leash on me whenever we go shopping, so that i won’t run amok.

ah well, i did my best (but i guess my best wasn’t friggin’ good enuf). here are some of the useless loots..


i’m munching this yummy treat alone since my mom can’t stomach eating something that looks like dried cat poop.


a jelly wrist rest. it was so cheap that i was really tempted to buy one. it’s got glow in the dark stars inside it too.


this innocent looking whale may look pretty useless but…


it’s actually smoke vaporizer. i don’t smoke, but some of my friends do and i hate it when my house smells like yucky yosi. SO, i bought this little guy to keep the air clean. it’s battery operated, so each time you put your stick in its mouth, it’ll prevent smoke from polluting a confined place.


what i like about this clock is that it’s transparent. it’s red. and it’s egg-shaped. hehe. yun lang.

by the way, pix were taken from a cellphone cam. j took his fuji finepix with him already so i’m left with rotting photos. Y_Y

    same here. i keep on buying useless stuff that seemed useful until i get home that i regret later.

    like right now, i’m completely regretting that i spent so much shopping during the break. i just realized that the money i spent would be enough to buy an ipod… or pay for my trip to the gold coast.
