*crap* i think i'm a shopaholic... o_O

yeah, seriously...since i'm come back home on the 18th...i've gone MAD shopping... i did the whole pre-christmas sale, boxing day sale, and even new year's sale shopping extravaganza.... and even after all of that, wanting to go again... *sighz* this is bad... the $ in my bank account is starting to dwindle..but not before i start to reassure myself at the mall that i'm starting co-op in a couple of days and i'll have plenty of $ to spare... dang... and u may ask, have u donated any $ to Tsunami yet Vanessa? well..the answer and is no...and why not? hmm.... laziness? i promised to give at least $200...but after evaluating my recent spending habits, that doesn't even amount to much... that's just one of the handy lil excuses that i make for myself... here's another few (all meaningless in worth) :

- i need work clothes... yes...this is true...but i really didn't have to go ALL out w/ all the dress pants, dress shirts, and ugly business jackets that i actually hate to wear... this has been the bulk of my christmas $ investments i admit...

- the stuff i buy is cheap...and usually on sale!!! yeah... being chinese...well...also being me which happens to enjoy getting deals on everything...i like to pride myself in sayign that i always get good deals...which is mostly true....i do have those days where i like to splurge on a thing or two... back to the point...this is really bad b/c i'm so good at finding deals, i get sooo much stuff... yeah...like in major quantities.... ewwwww.... = $$$$ yup yup...it all adds up =(

- haha...if i decide i dun like it..then i'll just give it to andrea =D hehe... yeah....i actually sometimes think this if i'm debating whether or not to get smthg... lol...this has resulted in a very big wardrobe for andrea :)...hehe..not jsut new stuff....lotza hand-me-downs as well...

those are just a few excuses up my sleeve.... i'll have to rack my brain to think of more... but until then... i'm gonna challenge myself:

** dun go shopping until i get my next paycheck...which who knows when it will be? end of term? end of month?
** give to Tsunami... like asap..

to some of u..this may seem like a rather superficial type of blog compared to my other ones...but it's just of a different nature.... we all struggle with different things... this is just one of my many weaknesses...
