the after math



I must admit that I'm an impulsive shopper. I have a shopping problem okay? I almost never come home empty handed and I almost always regretted what I've bought. But I'm getting better now. When I'm into something, I must convince myself that I really really really like, other than that, I wouldn't buy it. Although I've slipped every once and a while.. :s

Well, shopping must be one of the best feeling in the world (I know I'm so pathetic), but it is.. I'm a true mall hopper. I could stay all day everyday just at malls. Hoping from one shop to another given me an instant feeling of.... err hardly describe. I don't even know how I feel. Happy? Maybe. Cos stores never fail me. When I'm down, I just go to the mall next door, checking in and out what's new in my fave stores. One thing for sure, I'm a solo shopper. When I need advice, the rightest person that can answer my doubt is just me, myself, and I. If I bring my friends to shop with me, I often end up to buy what they choose, not mine.
When you love shopping dearly, you also have to balance your big outcome with bigger income. Especially when you're in mid-twenties (and just got out of college) but strive to stay fashion forward and on top of the trends. While at the same time, noone willing to fund you and you can't depend to anyone else but yourself. How can we cope with this? Worst case scenario? Facing the after math. Like zero balance on your ATM card or maximum debt limit on your credit card. I bet shit like that happens everytime. I've been there too. But it's weird cos I didn't feel wary. I keep coming back for more. And the budget is increasing from time to time. Ahh shopping is like a black hole that ready to gulp "YOU", fashionista.. down. You know... the black hole theory? We have to spinning faster and faster to keep in track, and when we don't spin fast enough, we'll be swallow by the black hole. 

I don't wanna be like that. I wanna be a smart shopper, a wise spender. Geez. Now I realize what makes my boyfriend refuse to marry me. (joking... Not!?) But I keep dig and digging a big hole in my closet. Big enough to support me in my -after marriage- life. Cos I know, by the time I get married, I won't be able to shop like cray cray. I've been aware by my boyfriend like, a thousand times. And we made a deal. What kind of girlfriend made a deal even though her boyfriend hasn't put a ring on it? LOL

Oh my..... Is there any cure for this kind of addiction? Shop less, save more. Four words that apparently  easier written than done.

I'm shaking as I type this.  After so many years I haven't update my blog, but i feel like now i need it more than ever.  Writing use to be my therapy.  so. my husband died. on 22-11-22 to be exact.  85 days ago  there. i say it.  you won't believe how much courage i've gathered to type this post here. the very blog that witness our journey. from a hopeless teenager, to finally got married, and eventually became parents of two adorable kids. too bad i didn't get a chance to update it more. however i frequently updated my twitter & instagram. so there are traces of our journey there as well.  how do i feel? PAIN. EXCRUCIATING PAIN. A PAIN THAT IMPOSSIBLE TO CURE My heart so tattered that there's nothing more to be torn. He died a sudden death. I won't go into details, at least not now. Our 20 years journey ended abrubtly. there goes our future hopes and dreams. __________________ I begin to questioning the existence of God. We've lead a good life. w...

still..

current mood : still upset Every children biggest dream would always be make their parents proud. Including me. But how? Many whispers came to my ear that said, "Go ahead and find your place at your Dad's Co.", "Why wasting more time with useless job?", "Don't ever try to work in a -desperately-needing-investment Bank!", and blah and blah and blah. Dude I really wanna show my Dad that I can earn myself money. Now my new car is on its way to my garage doesn't mean I'm fully happy. I mean, I feel very grateful with my Dad's present, but I realize that it will burden me. How long until I can earn my own money? Let's rewind to two years ago, when my friends busy to get a part-time job. This "part-time job" means SPG (Sales Promotion Girl), or Bridesmaid (at someone else's wedding), or Wedding Organizer's crew. That's all we can do for our status as a under-graduate student. Nothing else more and nothing else better...

tied the knot

The Groom with all the best-men Happy boy happy couple current mood : *sigh* Finally, after the very long waiting and preparation since LAST YE AR week, my brother tied the knot with girl of his dream. They held a morning ceremony at Cathedral Church and then thrown a party later that night at Grand Eastern. I was having a blast, yet exhausted, and starved and weary and all! Since I didn't catch enough time to eat something, and were busy buzzing around the ballroom, cos my friends were all there and I've some duties to do. Well, now the party's over and it's time to "renew" the life. Cos life will never be the same. Brother, sister, I hope your love will last forever, no more assault, no more violence, just PEACE. Don't ever lean on to someone else, cos since yesterday, two became ONE. Just like the priest said, you both have to received each other the way they are, and blend each personality as one. Married life isn't going to be easy (LIKE I KNOW.L...
