The Park

Darn, I broke my headphone. T_T Is this a sign telling me that I must halt my karaoke recordings??

I found an old HS picture somewhere in Friendster. It’s not exactly the sharpest image in the world but it’ll do. Ahh. I was so prim and proper way back then. Hee.

It is so ‘effing weird. Still, much lurv to Loyalty ‘97.

Hm. As I mentioned a couple of months ago, I wouldn’t be purchasing a whole lot of stuff I used to binge on. It seems that my not-so-stringent measures to cut back some expenses have been fruitful. Let’s see.

The Galleria. I have been an extremely good girl. A+.

Saks. Okay, so I went there once or maybe twice. But take note that I only bought from the clearance section. And I didn’t even look at the shoes. Sniff. B-.

Manga (Englsh translation). And I am not kidding about this. You wouldn’t believe the powerful temptation and urge whenever I drop by Barnes & Noble or Borders. My tally has not even come up in two figures. A-.

Manga (Japanese). Omigod. I can almost cry with sheer agony. No, I have not acquired a single one since my abstinence. A+.

Figs. Sad to say, I haven’t visited HLJ in weeks. A+.

DVD (anime). Nope, no DVDs, R1s nor R2s, either. A+.

Novels. I can’t live without having a new book to read. It is simply inexcusable. D-.

Bed, Bath, and all those girly things. There is something about going to BBB or Linens ‘n things or any store of this kind. I always manage to grab some unnecessary knickknack, may it be a candle, a bedspread, or pillow. B-.

Electronics. I am not sure how to grade myself with this item. After that self-imposed cutbacks, I got myself a new computer. Of course, my old CPU crashed on me, so I had a valid excuse with the desktop. And I refuse to live without an internet connection. As for the ‘nice’ monitor, I did have a perfectly good one and I did not need a new one. Then again, I did not acquire anything else. So I guess I’d give myself a B.

Overall, I think I deserve a B. *bows to imaginary applause* I had my moments of sin but I had moments of self-control. Hopefully, it’ll stay this way til we move in the new house. Sigh. With the holidays fast approaching, I don’t think I can take it anymore. My only *consolation* is that I am saving some money. Hee.

Oh, as for gift expenses this season, they do not count. XD

Oh, hell. I concede defeat. Friendster is indeed a useful, albeit irritating, tool to connect with friends and acquiantances of old. It is fascinating to browse through the profiles of past elementary, high school, and university friends. You smile at the changes they have gone through. Memories flood your brain. And then, the inevitable hits you. The nostalgia factor arrives. Argh. Emo-mode is on. Quick, someone slap me into reality again. Please, I am begging you.

Breathe in. Breathe out.

I am fine. I survived the nostalgia attack. Don’t mind me, holidays make me insane. And it’s not even Thanksgiving yet.

If majority of my posts morphs into teenage angst, please kill me now. I am pretty sure you’d rather be tortured entertained by my karaoke posts, anyway.

Naku naman. Pwede bang itigil na ang pulitika ng mga punyetang anime blogs na yan. Nakakairita ang paulit-ulit na editoryal sa walang kapararakang ideya. Ang naibibigay nitong diskusyon ay walang tunay na halaga.
