Shopaholics Anonymous

I tried to stop, but I just can't. I have a serious shopping problem, sometimes I think it's not funny anymore. Just this afternoon, I was at Zara over in Rockwell and it took all of my almost non-existent self-control not to buy this most gorgeous pair of boots. It's slouchy, black suede with the zipper at the back. And just what like Monica said in Friends, "It's a great investment because it goes well with everything!" But sadly, I had to let it go. Because aside from the fact that I can't wear it often here in, hello, Manila, I'm afraid it's going to "kill me! One toe at a time!"

I still bought a skirt anyway. Haha! It's on sale, what can I say?
But seriously, I really have to stop, or I'll shop myself poor one day.
I think I do it just to relieve the loneliness I feel most of the time. Oh well, excuses, excuses. Hee..
It really does make me happy, for a time. Until I get my credit card bills. Blech.

I think I'm in the wrong career. I would love, love, love to be a fasion buyer or a professional shopper. But it would be too late to switch now, anyway.

For now I'll try my best to stop. Good luck to me.

I still haven't found the perfect pair of jeans though.

Coolness on the FRIENDS reference there. Heee. Me thinks, we all buy something, expensive or not, as a quick fix for our sadness or loneliness no? Or just go to a place where we find something that we like to look at. I go to Bench and look at the guy's undies. Wala lang. There's an old poster of Jom at one branch in Kaloocan that I get to see on my way home. That's a quick fix for me. Heee. Have a fine weekend. God Bless.

When I go to a mall & leave without buying something... ANYTHING, I feel bad. So I do. Even if it's just a hair accessory. Sigh. AA na, SA pa. Hee.
