I’m not a shopaholic but sometimes, I just want to go to the mall and spend money (so thank you, Lord that you never get tired of giving me money for random shopping trips). So earlier today, I went to MY SM Megamall to… shop. I kinda promised that I’d buy myself clothes new clothes or shoes. I’m kuripot when it comes to clothes. Most of my clothes are years old (basic shirts and jeans that never go out of style) so most of them are faded or filled with holes that I find at the most inopportune of times.
So, anyway, earlier, after having lunch all by my lonesome self at Sbarro where I had a green garden salad (with a huge slice of sausage pizza with extra mozarella cheese on the side), I passed by National Bookstore first to see if they already had Bookware’s January release. Unfortunately, wala pa si Kyle, but fortunately, dala ko siya sa bag ko 
I went to several stores and bought myself a new top (it’s brown, basic and hides my four tummies), a cute skirt (shin-length, flowy and of a kinda shiny bronze color), a new bracelet made from colorful pukka shells), a new bracelet whatchamacallit, kinda like a cuff with shiny stones, and, of course, a new book. I wanted to look at bags and new shoes but I figured, OA na, so I restrained myself.
Sitting in bed, surrounded by my booty, I’m alternately feeling proud of myself and guilty. Marami kasing naghihirap and here I am, going on shopping sprees. I just tell myself that I don’t do this every day, and I also owe it to myself to provide me with clothes and other… things. Ewan ko ba kung bakit nag-iinarte pa ako, wala namang pakialam ang madla kung mag-shopping ako, ‘di ba? Hmp.
Though I still think I need to promise myself that I will buy new clothes every month so my mom doesn’t feel sorry for me LOL A few months ago, I bought myself a few shirts and she thanked the Lord (very fervently) that I atually bought new clothes instead of books.
I will now head on over to my closet and toss out the clothes I don’t wear anymore since most of them don’t fit, HA! and ask my mom to give them to my cousins in the province.
So there.

sbarro? diba doon tayo huling nag’date’? wahahaha!!!
nagsha-shopping din ako kahapon – sa SM Cebu! heheh! but most of what i bought weren’t for me. i bought stuff for da legal wife, isa para sa nag-ampon sa akin at isa para sa magbe-birthday on jan.28. i got myself a sinulog shirt.
I MISS YOU!!! WAAAHHH!!!!
Kaya yata ako doon tumuloy, sweets!
Ang dami mong nabili ah! Hindi pa ko nakakabili ng gift sa magbibirthday sa January 28 haha pero hindi ko alam kung kelan kami magkikita.
I mishoo too! :’(
Automatic na rin sa akin to feel a wee bit guilty when buying things, especially if madami and these are things I know that I don’t really need. I am sort of practical, but sometimes, you just need to let it go.
Besides, even if you say a lot of people can benefit from the money you spent, would you have even found a way to donate that money? And can you be sure it actually reaches those who need it? Hehe. Oooor, donate ka nalang next time.
Sala sa init, sala sa lamig kasi. Kasi if I spend money, naiisip ko ‘yong mga walang pera. Pero kapag naiisip ko naman sila at nagi-guilty ako dahil may pera ako, parang binastos ko naman si Lord na binigyan niya ako ng blessings tapos parang ayaw ko. Thank you, Lord. I appreciate it.
Saka it’s not as if madamot naman ako. Sabi ng ang nanay ko, kapag meron ako, pinamumudmod ko daw, pero tingnan ko, hindi naman daw ako nauubusan. Siguro tama naman. Saka hindi naman ako naglulustay. Damit naman siya, hindi drugs.
bukod pa sa dapat naman talaga nating nire-reward ang sarili natin for working hard, para hindi ka ma-guilty, isipin mo na lang kapag bumili ka ng damit, you give employment to the people who design the clothes, sew the clothes, market the clothes and the salesladies who sell the clothes. nakaka-contribute ka sa economy ng pilipinas kapag nagsa-shopping tayo. let’s go!
amen to carla! dapat yun na nga rin iisipin ko kapag nagsha-shopping ako (sa ukay-ukay).
@elise: korek. ipamudmod ang kayamanan. kasi diba share ur blessings naman talaga? kapa dapat share mo din sakin blessings mo. hehe
Ay, Carla! You made me feel better. Iisipin ko na ‘yan tuwing kailangan ko na naman bumili ng damit at magsimula na naman ako ma-guilty.
‘Di ba, JM? Haha Sige, since virtual blessings ang meron ako ngayon, virtual blessings din ang ibabahagi ko sa’yo haha
