Shopaholic.
I have a major problem! I can’t stop swipping those cards! It’s gotten so bad that I stopped collecting my credit card receipts to check at the end of the statements because there’s just so many!! However, one thing that you have to know is that I will never spend more than I make or have saved up. Hear me on this, I will NEVER get myself into debt. Well, I hope not.
My last few statements have balances over 1k, although I do pay it all at once, it leaves me dumbfounded, wondering, where the hell does my money go? (It’s kind of the same reaction that Jessica Simpson had when she realized she purchased two bras for $700.) 1k is not alot for the working, but for an unemployed university student? It’s a crisis!!!
Reading Becky in the ‘Shopaholics’ series do not help at all. I just drool over the fact that she gets to go to all these designer sample sales.
What tricks do you have to stop the bills from coming? Girls, how do you resist? Guys?

One Great Boss.
J’s birthday was yesterday, the Big 2-0. I remember last year’s birthday I got a beautiful hand-crafted birthday card (those cards cost about $6 each because they’re an ‘independent’ seller) and a free dvd rental card from Rogers from my boss in the mail (The year before, I got two cakes!). J however got a not-so-hand-crafted birthday card, a free meal, and an embarrassing and somewhat funny message in his card. It reads: “Happy 16th Birthday J!”
Yeah. I know. That’s really embarrassing. But that’s not all. J ALREADY gets free meals at work, he’s a Team Leader, Team Leaders gets free meals! So why in the world would he need a ‘employee free meal’ voucher for?
This goes to show how big corperations don’t give a damn. But my guess is, our boss gives his wife the birthday list and she’s the one who sends out the birthday cards. Perhaps shes mistaken J’s age when he first joined the team with his real age. Mind you, I’m somewhat close to my boss’s wife. All she really does is sit around and scrapbooks all day. Why do you have to do anything else when your husband makes an engrossing 2.2 million each year?

i am shopaholic too…and i too have a problem wit not being able to stop swippin my credit card
i think i’m starting to become one.
this is what happens when everything can be resolved with the swipe of a piece of plastic.
it’s like putting of homework. you know that you will have time later to do it, so you leave it. And den the consequence comes back as an all-nighter, but in this case a big fat ugly bill. =(
HahaHA
About that “deep down we hope they break up” part… I secretly think that too! That’s what I like about you, you’re so real!
Someone just lent me alllll of Sophie Kinsella’s books, and I’ll admit that I LOVE the shopaholic series!! Becky makes me want to strangle and shake her most of the time, but she does things or gets into situations where it makes me tear up for her too! I used to hate chick lit because it was so silly, but now I find it’s such an easy read and it’s fun… and after a long day at work, it’s nice to read something like that and not some deep-thinking book
You should read the Something Borrowed books, they’re really good too. The story and theme go a little deeper, but it’s still a fun read. I like how they’re written from both perspectives.
Oh, you have a private/protected post that’s public right now… you should check it. Which reminds me, I should check if mine were made public too…
