I’ve been trying to save money since the last few months, but there are so much nice stuff out there. I know it’s not good to splurge especially at this time – but on second thought, it’s the crisis and infusing more money into the economy makes sense to me. Especially if you buy something beautiful and shiny – like the iPod touch (which I already bought). 16gb of music, movies, games, photos, and other useful and useless applications.
Other stuff: shopping in cheap clothing stores like H&M, Zara, or Gap on sale season – totally justifies my spending. Online shopping for books in Amazon – way cheaper than FNAC or Virgin or even the lovely Shakespeare and Co. When I think about it, everything is actually an investment.
Grocery shopping bill – 138 euros of cheese, bottled water, six-pack of milk and fruit juices, meat, veggies, fruits, toiletries, bread. Add up a bottle of Jack Daniel’s whiskey, six-pack of beer, and some other stuff that you might think is useless – but will really come in handy for the next week or so. And yes – my precious precious Bailey’s Irish cream.
Lemme talk about why I bought the bottle of Bailey’s. Well, it reminds me of good memories back in Manila – go to Sidebar cafe after work and they have 3 shots of Bailey’s for 120 PHP. Hanging out there til past midnight with friends was a blast. Flashback to my first taste of Bailey’s with milk and ice cubes – Stephane’s place with his fiancée and Alain. Cigarette smoke filling the apartment. I won’t start smoking again – but damn, I was tempted. Sweating like a pig coz of the hot, summer weather. Sigh, good times.
Anyway, anyhow, looking forward to going to Britanny this weekend. Another expense, another investment. Traveling enriches the mind, non? Si! If this doesn’t push through though, then we might visit Champagne instead. Rain rain, go away.
