Perfect timings, you wish they’d happen more often, right? Last Friday, a couple of friends invited me to go hang out and watch a movie after work. I decided to cancel since I’m flat-out broke and I only had enough for my fare going home. So I compose my message ready to send then suddenly, my OJT supervisor said “Mark, you can get you’re allowance upstairs. It’s ready.” My eyes lit up like a firefly and hurriedly rush upstairs.

After work, I went to Glorietta to meet up with my friends. I found out that they have a mall-wide sale for the weekend and I couldn’t been happier as I really miss buying stuffs for myself. With the allowance I got, I would only be able to buy a new pair of shoes or a sports jacket. I decided on the jacket and hurriedly went to Celio to check out if the one I want is on sale. Sadly, it isn’t but I decided to get it anyway, costing almost the amount of my allowance. I’ve been wanting to buy that jacket for months now so you can just imagine my dismay when they told me that they don’t have my size. I then ask them to call the branch at Mall of Asia if they have it and reserve it for me.

Next morning, I pass by Celio at MoA and they still don’t have my size! They did say that they have it at the Shangri-la Plaza branch and I do not know what got into me and I hopped into the MRT minutes later. All this for a freakin’ jacket??? Anyway, I was able to buy it with hours to spare before my next class. While I’m carrying it on a bag, I kinda wish I bought the shoes instead.

I really find it funny that my mom would never buy an item that she needs if it’s a bit expensive but would buy anything if it’s on sale. The spoiled brat in me, taking advantage of the situation, decided to join them to Glorietta again. She bought all sorts of crap just because 10%, 20% or 50% off are tagged into the items. We then “unintentionally” passed by Shoe Salon and I went “Look ma, those shoes are on sale and they’re perfect for me!”

Monday, It’s 100 degrees outside but I don’t care if I’m sweating like hell because I know that I look good with my brand spankin’ new jacket and a nice pair of sneakers. It’s cold here in the office anyway.
