Impulse Buying...

The festive mode of the Christmas season gave me a lame excuse to splurge.  In fact, I just purchased five pairs of leather shoes/sandals and four pieces of casual dress days after Christmas parties were over.

As if that was not enough, I ordered two pieces of furniture which is due to be delivered on the 2nd, if not 3rd week of January this year. Good thing, I was able to avail of a 6-month, 0% interest promo of BDO credit card at SM MOA, the 1st intallment payment of which is due on April yet.

Further, I was almost tempted to buy that chic lampshade which costs almost seven thousand bucks at Blims in Glorietta 5 just recently.  I know the urge to possess it won't take long.. as I am planning to visit that store again sometime soon.. (I must have it!  I must have it!)  

I feel guilty.  I am not used to this so-called extravagance.  What came over me?  I don't know..  I just console myself by thinking that my current state of insanity is just... temporary... ;)

Why December 15 Means Something To Me..

I would never fail to reminisce the birthday of my high school crush every December 15 of the year.  Up to this time, I still giggle (minus the blush, of course!) every time my cousins and I talk about him.  The giggling act, however, was just part of my trick to taunt, if not, to annoy them. Hahahaha!  Defensive...

Actually, the last time I went home I didn't realize we were on the same plane not until we landed at the Surigao airport.  He still has the same beautiful eyes that I admire in high school.  Of course that was just an infatuation.  I just wish him and his family well.

But this post is not just all about him.  Last December 15 also happens to be our Christmas party at the office, and the night before, with the management.  We had fun, as usual.  And I'm proud to announce that I won in the trip to Jerusalem parlor game.  Hehehehe!  But it was embarrassing to admit that we made use of eggplants and male species instead of the chairs.  Now, I'm blushing...  Nonetheless, I'd like to emphasize that, despite of my 4-inch, high-heeled sandals paired with my one-piece mini black dress, I still succeeded in holding that vegetable in my hand.  Hahahaha!

On the other hand, when I arrived home that same night, I saw that people in the neighborhood were already preparing for the Misa de Gallo which will be held at the Multi-Purpose Hall.  Good thing, it was just adjacent to our building and the mass starts every 730pm.  Will I be able to complete the nine mornings, err, evenings considering the proximity of the venue, not to mention that, I don't have to wake up very early in the morning?

Hmm... we'll see...
