Shop to Save

July 3rd, 2008 at 07:53 pm

Yuppiiiii, hihihh~Where I live... there is something called 'Special Week' because every year in the first week of July EVERYTHING is on special. This was the time I've been waiting for since the very end of winter season. Yesturday I went shopping with my boyfriend for the things I needed and got mostly everything except for some minor things but I can become creative and manage some how.. which I always do because there are only solutions in life as my father always used to tell me. Then I ended the night with meeting some friends to go see the movie Wanted-starring Angelina Jolie which my boyfriend thought was funny because on the advertisment and posters she's always there and is the primary in the photo but in the movie she is secondary which I didn't care about. It looked like a good movie so I watched it. I liked it but it was pretty predictable.

BTW I've been gone for sometime now because some very bad family matters have occured and then I had summer school which I am proud to say that I ACED IT!!! hahaha, Also my mom which is my boss was in a pinch because her assistant quit last minute and since I always wanted to go help for somehting called the Summer Camp which we organize for poor kids where I work she asked if I could go and I reassured her and went. I had a great time but geeez those kids killed me hahaha. Since I performed well and the kids loved me and I seem to have enjoyed it I am going again for 2 more weeks in August. Not to mention I'll be working alone starting next week because my co-worker is going on vacation next week. When she comes back we will have formed another person to help her out while I go on vacation when she gets back but for 2 weeks.

Tina is gone now in Morrocco and I miss her already. I met her quickly for lunch on monday during my break at work and we spoke on the phone together as she was in the airport. MESSAGE TO TINA: Be safe and don't you dare come back in more than one piece hahaha.. also don't for get to get me a keychain from there! =)

Financially my mom put me down since I went shopping yesturday and my money has gone down a lot and telling me that I have no chance for university. I told her I'll make it through as usual and she rolled her eyes. So I did my spending but now I have to save......... only thing is I am suppose to get a labtop in August before I go to school. The GOOD thing is I can get the financial plan at future shop to pay per month instead of at the counter in one shot. The BAD thing is that once school has started because for my schedual I can only work 2 days 3.5 hours both so I won't be making a lot of money.

That's pretty much everything I had to say in a breif blog entry hahaha even though it ended up being longer than expected. Thank you for reading if you did and if you have time leave me you comments on this blog. It helps!

    Please think seriously about whether you really want to get in to debt for the laptop. Is there any way you can save up the money between now and August and pay in cash? If you can get through college with no debt (or as little as possible), you will have a headstart on the grand adventure called "the rest of your life."

    Well your mom was harsh with you by telling you that. She is concern with your spending, especially since you told me you spend 3K last September on a shopping trip and now that your savings went down a lot because of your recent shopping trip.

    Kiwii, you've been working longer or about the same time as me and you work full-time after you finish your summer school. I personally think you have a spending problem or else, why can't you save? Since you know you are going to University and you are fully aware that nobody but yourself is going to pay for it.

    Don't try to convince me that what you are doing is right without thinking twice. I want you to look back at what you've done and judge it without trying to justify it.

    Don't try to argue by telling me that I don't pay for school and everything. I want you to look at your past mistakes. Even if I tell you a billion time that it's not about paying yourself everything that you are going to be broke, you will not listen to me because I do not seem credible enought. I am just going to tell you that you have difficulty knowing between what you needs and wants.

    It doesn't mean that I don't believe in you. I do but I am overly concern about you. You just don't listen to people who wants what best for you most of the time. You do feel irritated when my brother doesn't listen to you. Then how do other feels when you don't want to listen to them. You just brush them off by I know, no you don't understand... Don't take it as an offence. I want you to understand that you have a problem with listening to people. You know even if you hear the same advice a thousand times, if you don't take it into consideration then you do not understand anything at all.

    By the way, I am happy about your lucky finds on your shopping trip and I bought you presents on my trip to Morocco. I am sure you will love it.
