=✿Shopaholic Gal✿=

I went shopping some time ago and was able to buy some school clothes for our eldest daughter. When I shop though I always look for the sale. I often would only make my purchase if the price is right. You have to watch for the sale if you want to save money. The downside to the sale is that you end up buying more than you intended, which is not saving money. Some smart shoppers only buy what they need and don't really wait for the sale. But with me, I always try to wait for the sale and make my purchase because I couldn't see myself paying top dollar. That is especially when most of the products I see in any store (like at Uncle Walty's) today is made in China. They were manufactured elsewhere so cheaply and so, it's almost like a rip-off if you end up paying a lot. It makes the clothing companies rich too quick anyway. Now Mr. President Barack Obama is cracking down on the outsourcing of jobs overseas. It's about time because people in America are starting to starve to death with no jobs around and no money to survive. Even I would like to have a part time job if only someone would hire me. So far no luck for me. I could use extra money to supplement my expenses like shopping and doing the things I wish I can do in my life. If I am not working I will have to find a way to get busy other than being at home. I might look into going back to school soon, perhaps take ESL for now. Okay have fun shopping peeps! Be sure to only buy what you need; otherwise you won't save a penny.

I have a dream; I mean a plan to get a nice digital camera in the near future. For now, I can only dream about it since I am still paying a lot of bills. But I think I can save up for it soon enough and photography will be one of my hobbies. I will then get a new blog just for my photographs. I might also take time to learn digital scrapbooking-take it seriously as a hobby. Right now, I just wing it when I do scrap because I have no time (actually not motivated) to be creative. I admire those who can make a scrap out of their pictures so quickly. My, they are good! It makes me wish their creativeness is contagious...LOL. By the way, I sound goofy sometimes because I am having fun writing. It's fun to have a blog and I love blogging. Although I must say that sometimes we just can't help to feel bored with it. I get bored, too, of course. Anyway, speaking of getting a new camera, I really want one. I will have to see about which brand is selling that falls under my price range. I want something that is not too much. Affordability is important to me as well as the features and I am hoping I can get both. I just need a simple one but with the features that can produce pictures with amazing clarity. The crisp and clear image quality is really nice. I have to do my homework on that. Doing a research is simple enough when it is only a click away. Okay till here for now. I had to find a topic easy enough for me to share for now.

I missed another week to update this blog. I am really getting behind my schedule here, although I am not really busy. Nothing seems to motivate me in terms of keeping my blog updated. I lost my enthusiasm to blog since the blog world is really getting so crowded. I mean just about everybody is blogging nowadays because of money! Who couldn't resist the sound of dollars, right? However, I am glad in a way that those who could use extra money have the opportunity to earn it. With this tough economy every penny counts. All I am basically saying is that when there are just too many people doing it, it gets boring. That is especially when there are no more opps. If there are some, you have to settle with literally almost nothing, which is a bummer. Oh, well, that is life I guess.
I used to earn hundreds of dollars online every month, now I can hardly make any. Those days are long gone I am afraid. That is why it pays to save money while you have it in abundance. In my case, it ran out so fast because I spent it so fast with my endless shopping. My last splurging days was over the holidays. I shopped online because I thought I'd treat myself with getting a new pair of boots and new clothes. I just wish I can return some of them because they are either too big or too long for me-the sleeves. The boots only fits me if I wear thin socks or stockings. I learned my lesson shopping online with my selections-I should have known long before. Now I better try to only buy short sleeves, a size 7 boots and/or 6 1/2 shoes. Okay, I've gotta run for now. See yah next time folks! Just keep peeking and I'll keep bragging. Nah, just kidding...LOL.

It's been lonely here for a week. That is the longest time yet that I have not posted anything. I am not very busy but sometimes I just don't feel like writing anything. Well, not unless I find something interesting on the web. I often like to listen to music or watch a (Filipino) movie over the net. In fact, I found some interesting music-yep, with songs I have never heard before-through YouTube. One of the music artists I like is Shakin' Stevens because my, he can shake it. I mean he can dance; I like his flexibility-the way he moves. He's got rockin' moves for sure (he reminds me of Elvis Presley because he mimics Elvis-he actually played Elvis early in his career) he's unique, too. He is also gorgeous and quite sexy. He's got the eyes I'd say, and his hair style just makes him look even more attractive. I like him in his "Pink Champagne" music video. Watch it and see what you think. Isn't he a cool cat? His eyes and hair style gets me...LOL. I guess I prefer to see men with his kinds of eyes (hmmm...are those what people call bedroom/sexy eyes?) and hair style. Those are some of the physical attributes I go by when I define beauty. My definition of beauty differs from yours, of course, because hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Okay, this is all for now. I don't really have a topic to share other than what I've been up to lately. I have only been watching movies and listening to different style of music. I am building my playlist online. So far I have a good compilation of the greatest hits that can be found online by different music artists. You can have an idea of the kind of music I like by playing my playlist below my page.

Astrology, numerology, and horoscope just fascinate me. I find it entertaining to read what my signs say about me. I also get a kick out of reading the signs of my family members and people I am curious about. I, at least, get an idea of how they operate and what they (other people) would be like if I associate with them. It's good to know a little about them firsthand, so you kind of set them apart. You can actually categorize them like who you can relate to better, etc. I tend to be a bit picky when it comes to choosing my friends or who I hang around with. I want to be able to choose my friends and not let them choose me. Well, that is what someone told me a long time ago, when I started dwelling online. Things I read about us just somehow describe how we are as individuals. It helps me understand why we act like we do and say things like we do. Some people are sharp tongue and sarcastic, but then, I found out that they can't help it because it is part of their makeup or who they are. They are who they are inside and out. That is why I am into self discovery and quite intrigue with the mysteries of life.
I am a 7 in numerology, I mean my Life Path Number is 7, and my Soul Urge Number is also 7. That is a double dose for me whatever my numbers say about me. My personality number which is calculated based on the consonants of my name is number 6, and my expression number calculated based on the vowels of my name is 4. So, no wonder I am like I am; constantly wondering what really lies beneath all the things that go on in this world. I am awfully curious; very inquisitive about what life is all about. I learn from my own observations and experiences.
By the way, if you share my fancy, you may want to find out what your numbers mean at this Numerology Name Meaning site and at this free Numerology Birth Chart Reading site. Be sure to put your original name exactly as it appears on your birth certificate that includes; your first name, middle name, and last name. Don't include your current last name (by your husband) if you are married, because it doesn't count as much as your real last name by your father. Okay, have fun reading what your name has to say about you. It's really entertaining and I enjoy it. I like my reading...:). The only problem with me is; I am easily bored and that I withdraw from socializing when I feel like I don't belong in the crowd. I can become isolated and lonely. However, being born in the year of the monkey which is the party animal, I am not so much of an introvert. I guess I am alright! Oh, ah...see my presents? I received books. They are very entertaining for me to read and I educate myself about people. It is really amazing how some things I read about them are so true. I am fond of fortune telling and I want to learn all about that, too. I want to learn how to read tarot cards. At one time my reading came true, you know.

It's time for a new beginning. Wow, I made it to 2009! I am still alive...yahooh! I am happy knowing I can continue to see the world and all my loved ones. Now if only I can fulfill some of my ultimate goals. We all wish to accomplish something each year. However, some people are just not as fortunate as others. There are so many of us who are unable to make things happen due to unexpected shortcomings. While others are able to get what their hearts desire and more, because hey, it pays to have a helping hand by your side-if you're lucky enough. If you don't have someone you can rely upon for help. You'll find out that saving money is very important. Your money becomes your best friend. No one is going to help you but you. I am learning that a great deal. You have to be self-sufficient; otherwise you'll go nowhere and have nothing at all. No family or friends can come to your rescue in times of need-if you are having it rough too often. I've gone through it and it taught me to be more independent. I am somewhat proud as my pride holds me back with asking even a family member for help. Oh, I tell yah...I learned my lesson well. And thank goodness for credit cards! I'll slowly but surely reach my goals, even if one at a time lang. It'll just take time and money, of course, which is why I have got to save money!
Realizing how important saving money is. I am going to have to refrain from over-buying. I mean I have to cut down on my shopping. The unexpected expenses can really be a drag. I have taken on great responsibilities back home and I have to be responsible. I need to take care of business before any pleasure. I can no longer put myself ahead of others. According to what I heard, "beyond all the sacrifices you make hides a sweet reward." We will see about that. By the way, excuse muah for sounding like I am at it again, because like I've said..."I can get melodramatic." But you know what? We can never predict what life dishes out. So there are times that when things are not going our way, we tend to express our feelings a bit more than we intended to. We're only human, after all-that is what I always hear. There is nothing wrong with sharing some of our downs. Maybe some people only likes to rub it in, este share the ups about their lives pala. Too much of a good thing is no good, not with those who may think you are having it easy like Sunday morning kinda life. As I have learned, some people are just so quick to judge others by hearing a little bit here and there. Well, it's not always like what you see or hear, peeps! I'm just reminding yah. That is why never go by hearsay. Never assume naman, so you don't get burned. You can mention the slightest things about yourself and your life, and wow, they can just picture how miserable you are already. And as if it is any of their concern what goes on in your life, what you do or say, etc. Grabeh!!!
