I could have finished this book in 3 hours if I hadn't been browsing over the internet blindly. I could have not wasted my precious time. Sigh. Very well, done reading the book! So happy to have read it, honestly. Got some face-slaps mind you!
I never thought that there was a Rebecca Bloomswood in Iligan City. Had I not read this book, I would have not probably discovered my other facade. Horribly, I have to admit, I'm in her heels! And walking! As I was thoroughly reading the book and apparently reading between its lines, I've discovered that I've been so much like her. I haven't got some credit cards though; but I've got some of her actions, or habits I should say. From impulse buying to identifying brands (from head to feet) that a person wears-- all of these have also been my forte.
I hate to admit I am a Shopaholic. Like, I was never raised to be one. I was never born to be one. And I completely know that we are a simple family, living in a simple home, simple everything. On the other hand, I simply could not be simple. I am a fashionista of some kind; a never out-of-the-fashion girl. I've never left my getup that dreary. I've never listened to anyone's criticism on my outfits. I've always expressed my self through my styles. Sometimes, through brands.
I don't have a work or any sideline but I do have some funds if given any. The biggest problem is, the more I'd like to fill in my bank accounts, the more likely things drain out so easily. Like if I have some cash saved; the more I'm driven to spending.
I have a simple story. If you'd like to hear it more realistic, you can always pick up your phone and call me. You'd hear a much more better story. Best when told personally. Back to the story. I am always broke. As you can always hear from me, I have no money and I need to do an I-walk-to-school-everyday and all that. It is mainly because, I haven't any budget for any of those tempting stuff like new shirts, new movies, or any that would take everything off my pockets. I've got little money from my allowance since I have to pay for many extras. Not extras actually. I have to pay my other needs. Moreover, since I've got little finances, I could not be tempted to buy any stuff that I really like. What could I possibly buy with 50 pesos? Some apple tapes from Candy Corner that could just stay in your throat forever? Or not possibly buy, but it's just one taxi ride! Oh hell, but luckily, although I have been struggling a life like this (including I, as the fashionista must need some new attire or some) I've survived. On the other hand, If someone has given me a reward or something or an extra money like from my mother or father or sister, I always spend everything. And when everything's lost, I'd then realize that I should have saved the money and I would wish I never had that amount of money. Can you see the point? When I have not enough money, I could still survive, be happy, find things that are free, enjoy every little thing I have, anticipate and all. If I have a lot of money, obviously I'll be happy, I could buy what I want, spend it on my fashion blahs, have new flipflops and everything. But having more sometimes makes me think I should not wish for that. For I know, money could easily fade away. For I know, it would just teach me to give in to temptations. For I know, it would just teach me discontentment. For I know, It would just give me chances to be broke. For I know, money just don't give me true happiness.
