broken vow

I’ve broken my promise…the promise that I’ll be a wise spender.

I just bought myself a new Lacoste Inspiration perfume. Actually, I really want to try Lacoste eversince but I’ve been fighting the urge to buy one. Currently I have four perfumes and 5 colognes that I bought from the US. I love perfumes and colognes. Whenever I spray some to my wrists, I just couldn’t stop smelling its scent. So, I shouldn’t buy anymore but urges sometimes make us break the rules. At first I was just looking and kept on reminding myself that I don’t really need it. And when I smelled it, I never cared anymore if I’ll break my own promise. My resolve wasn’t strong enough though I’m quite happy with it.

I still need to keep that promise, no matter what. I want to be able to save more now. I should, I should, I should. I can, I can, I can.

disappointments

Michelle’s wedding is fast approaching and we’re all excited to be there. She required us all to wear dresses. I’m not really into dresses and skirts. It’s seldom that I wear those types of clothing but since all my friends (Ferna, Suby, Love and Taj) will wear a dress, I’m pressured.. Well okay, not really pressured since nobody can stop us from doing or choosing what we want. I thought, yeah okay, I’d like to wear one too. And since I don’t really buy dresses, I was really having a hard time finding something that suits me. But the truth is, it excited me. I never thought that looking for a dress will, but it did. There were so many pretty designs and colors to choose from which made it even more difficult for me to decide. Two days ago, Ferna, Karen and I went to Megamall and Trinoma in search of a dress. Finally, in Trinoma, Ferna (who decided earlier she’s not going to buy a new one) ended with a blue sexy dress. Karen too got her own brown silk 70’s style dress. Me? After almost 3 hours of walking and looking and fitting, I still wasn’t able to get one for myself. It was disappointing for me that day. If only I was looking for a pair of jeans/slacks or blouse, I would have finished in less than an hour.

Yesterday, I was in Trinoma once more since Suby and I will meet there to watch Caregiver. I went there ahead of time so that I can still look for that elusive dress heheJ  Unfortunately, I still wasn’t able to find one. I want to give up already hehe! Today, it’s Megamall again and hopefully, I’ll find the one I’m looking for.

Minutes before 7pm, we’re lined up for a cinema ticket and very eager to watch Caregiver because it tackles the life of Filipinos working abroad in healthcare profession. Overall, the movie’s okay. I was prepared to shed some tears but most of the scenes just didn’t touch my emotions enough. I was a little disappointed with the movie because I was looking for more. I thought, if only it’s Ate Vi…hehe.  Then we had coffee at Starbucks after.
