…just let me be 
)
for a friend. just found out that her husband is cheating on her…with another friend. this is bull***t. if only i can be there with her right now and we’ll chase these bastards to hell. hang in there — this too shall pass and you’ll triumph over this. (((hugs)))
this is not regarding my previous post 
. i’m actually talking about the movie, finally…had the chance to watched, james finally agreed to watch it with me. he’s not into girly movies (duh). the last girly movie we watched together was the 27 dresses. after so much persuasion, he said yes. the movie is been out for two weeks, so i was afraid it’s just the two of us watching it. but there were actually few people watched it with us, whew. james can relate with few scenes in the movie, he would throw some glances at me or would sometimes poke me on the side when he sees some very similar moment, hahaha. that night, the purse that i had was quite big. prior going to the movie, we had to put gas on james’ car and we passed by mcdonald. their swiss, mushroom, onion quarter pounder is to die for. i had it yesterday and i just can’t get enough of it, it was really that good. well, anything with mushroom and cheese for me is good, i’m a sucker for this combination. we had two of those for to-go, and sits comfortably in my purse so we can take it at the movie (no outside food allowed…or so they say lol). i had ranch dipping sauce with it too…my killer combination. ranch is my sauce for everything (pizza, fries, chicken, mozzarella sticks). james knew i enjoyed the sandwich…he knew because i didn’t offer him some, bwahaha. for any sandwiches, i would eat at least half and give the rest to him. but not this time, and he noticed that. what completed the night, a cheesecake coldstone ice cream with brownie. full was understatement . we always get coldstone after movie because that is the last stall before the parking lot. i always look forward to that too because that’s the only time that we will get one. james and i are spontaneous with a lot of things that we do together. so i guess though we were so full that night, we still managed to gulped the love-it-size i would still consider it a great night sans the ice cream. it was an awesome night indeed…
good movie,
good food,
good company!
i think i have a ‘clearance’ and ‘sale’ syndrome, lol. have you ever had the feeling of excitement knowing that your favorite store is having a sale or new mark-down clearance? i was rushing to get out of class yesterday just to go to my favorite store. and the 10 minutes drive seems like forever. i was imagining the store while driving. it was lunch time when i got a call from one of the associates that they’re having a new markdown clearance sale. i couldn’t contain myself from excitement. i told her right away that ‘yes, i’ll be there as soon as my class is done’, hee. i bought this one nice shirt like two weeks ago for 50% off and i wanted to buy the other color but when i came back few days after, it was gone…all colors. but when i got there yesterday, lo and behold, they had another color and it was on sale for 70% off. i felt good for having it in another color, moreso for the additional discount…$17.40. the thing is, i don’t buy regular price items, never (aside from food). everything from linens, bathroom accessories, kitchen items, shoes, bags, especially clothes. when i go to the store, i go straight to the clearance items. even online shopping, clearance. and it must be at least 50% off haha. that’s just when it comes to myself, i get generous sometimes especially to james and my family. guilt feeling is less when it’s on sale or clearance, haha.
it’s friday and I DON’T HAVE DUTY!!!
lusting for this one:
just can’t justify it, darn. for now, it’ll be on my wish list and in my dreams. an impossible dream at that, hee.
***a damier will do, though.

whenever i splurge on something big (bags, nice tops, gadgets), i try not to pull the tags, stickers and i keep it in it’s case and wrappers. i always have the thought of returning it. there is always the feeling of satisfaction that, if i return it…i triumphed over my sudden impulse of buying. it will take me some time to finally say ‘i’m keeping this’. and if i do, i will use it over and over again just so i can say ‘i deserved this’. hahaha…no, i’m not psyching my self again for something big. nooo!
