Keeping Things In Perspective...

I just placed a ticker on my last expensive bag purchase upfront to remind me of my "reforming shopaholic" status. Its a onsite work free weekend (read: still have to work at home though. huhu), so I am itchin' to do a quick trip to Orchard (living a few bus stops away, how can I resist?) to check out what's on sale! sigh.

I MUST STAY PUT...

my wheel of fortune (is going down)...

Got this from Chuvaness:

GOAT
Zodiac’s Nature:
Honest, sincere, creative, peaceful, artistic, playful and amorous. Good natured and generous, but sometimes can be undisciplined and irresponsible. Often feels gloomy and discontented, is also indecisive and at times too passive. Renowned for their grace and creativity and likes luxury.

With their fluctuating luck this year, Goats should be flexible to cope with sudden change. Basically, this will be a rough year for Goats. They will be surrounded by rumours and envy, so they have to be patient and keep a low profile. They should take this challenge as part of their life, i.e. be patient while in darkness waiting for the sun to come out. It is important that they should not put a finger in every pie; they need to concentrate and work with their whole mind and whole heart and strive continuously to make new progress at work. Goats may lose money because of spending, but it is important that they should not act as a guarantor for friends or relatives. In love affairs, Single Goats should be patient with their lovers. If not, they will end in separation. Married Goats should reach mutual understanding with their partner. Goats have to keep away from sharp objects and be cautious on the road. They have to control their diet as well and regulate their blood pressure and prevent stroke. Apart from this, they should not go to funerals and wakes.


Just this morning I was telling Bob how "unrestrained" I am when it comes to shopping and how I should really control it for 2009, given the downturn of the economy. I am such a shopaholic, I need a support group!

My Manila loot (or lack thereof)

One thing about going back to Manila over a long weekend with no yaya is that -- there is no time for shopping. I was my little girl’s slave for four days – four days in a life of a six-month old baby who gets excited with everything that she sees! I did enjoy my bonding time with my baby but as I said -- I had no time for shopping. :( Except for a number of books that I told myself I must get in Manila: all the Jodi Picoult novels I can find (and I only found four) and the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.

But of course the MMU addict in me couldn’t resist popping by Beauty Bar to get a little somethin’ somethin’ (read: Pressed Mineral Rice Powder) from YoungBlood. :)

Lessons learned for next trip back: first, no more midnight flights (it turns out, Peyton would not sleep thru the flight) and second, really schedule at least one day for shopping !

A Good Shopping Find!

I accidentally stumbled upon this blog which keeps track of all the sales in Singapore. The best part: you can subscribe to get the updates directly in your inbox!

Goody for me! Am not sure my husband will agree, though. Hehe!
