Divisoria Loot 2.0

This, by far, is my best Divisoria trip. I’m not exactly sure why but I was smiling like an idiot the entire day just because of my Divisoria trip. I was actually on a prissy mood the day before because Ate Karen, Ate Ninay, and I were supposed to book a flight to Thailand last 11.11.11 because of the P11 promo. HUHUHU. But because of our stupid internet, the slots sold out! I got so depressed that I wanted to cry. I just really want to go to Thailand because I’m so obsessed with Thai boys movies right now.

To cure my shallow depression, I decided not to hold back when Ayessa and I go to Divisoria the next day! And I didn’t, and I’m so glad that I finally let loose on money a little. I’ve been so stingy the whole year but I guess it’s time that I enjoy my hard-earned (questionable, indeed) money. I REGRET NOTHING.

I don’t know. Maybe I just loved the trip so much because it made me feel grown-up. Even though I’m already working, I rarely spend money on clothes, bags, etc. This is actually the first time I went to Divisoria and shopped using my own money. I guess it’s the reason why it’s so fulfilling. Who know. Maybe the trip just made me happy because I simply love shopping and I’m just spewing reasons to convince myself that I’m not a shopaholic. No, I’m not yet a shopaholic.

The Art of Being a Cheap Bookworm

We all know that books aren’t the cheapest goods in the market. A paperback costs roughly around PHP300, and if you’re stingy like me, that’s not exactly cheap. Over the years of wanting books that are far too expensive for my budget, I learned that there are a lot of ways to acquire books on your to-do list without spending too much. I decided to share my book hoarding skills to other bookworms even though no one asked me to do so. Because I have nothing better to do, I might as well spread my love for books.

However, the following tips aren’t for people who are very particular with the condition of books. If you’re looking for really low-priced books, then you should understand that the condition of the book may not be the finest you’ll see. Expect creases and a little tear here and there. But if you look hard enough, you can see seemingly brand new copies for a really low price. Also, most of the tips here are only applicable in the Philippines.

December Haul

December is the month of wasting money and crying over the wasted money. I don’t know what’s with this month that made me spend much more than usual. It’s the little finds accumulated over time that made me realize that I won’t be buying a Christmas gift for myself this year. Heh. I guess these things are enough. I don’t regret any of these. I am totally in love with everything I bought.

I wouldn’t post everything. It would be too much, and it would showcase my shopping impulsiveness. In my defense, I only buy cheap things. It may be a lot but it’s all cheap. So.
