A place where I can live, breathe, talk and see

I rarely shop on clothes or electronics. I usually "splurges" on food and books. But since I have my e-book reader, it's just food and food then.

But in this so-called "Sale" season, I allow myself to splurge a bit on apparels. Starting with 1 pants, and then 1 super comfy shoes ;) and another pants (same model, different color, Geez!!). And now I'm aiming for another pants and a few basic tops. Also since last week I've been inspired to buy a small bag (Goodness me :P), and maybe a few working shirt..

I'm shamefully uncontrollable!! :(

Seems like after I allow myself to spend on one thing, it feels like I'm on a high. I'm on a huge roll and feel like I NEED to buy something else. That's why usually I avoid malls as much as I can, as I don't want to spend too much on unnecessary things and always keep my priorities on check. But I guess once I unleash the shopping devil inside of me, it will need one hell of a self restraint and discipline to put it back on leash..

I just finished reading The Devil Wears Prada, which I found highly entertaining merely because how close can I have it related to my own experience. Although my version of the devil only wears his yellowing teeth and his quirky hair everywhere. :P But still thank Goodness that my boss isn't as bitchy as Miranda, or probably am, the thing he does with throwing away Starbucks just because it's not hot enough or it's mocha latte, not latte or something like that.. The good thing is that he's not doing it to me, so.., definitely not my problem and not my business.

Anyway, back to the main topic. Lately I've been working with this guy (a contractor, who runs his family business for his father while working for Exxon Mobil (damn his life couldn't be better..)) When I first met him, I instantly spot the most-expensive-type-of-nokia + gucci eye glasses + working suit + Exxon name card. Uh uh. Plus a master degree from UK. Good enough for me.

And on the next encounter at the site (yes, the construction site that's basically dusty and rotten..) It's big gold neck chain + Burberry hat + rolex watch + gucci eye glasses + shirt and sneakers and short which I haven't been able to identify from what brand.

And the next encounter, on Friday night. Seems like he just had a date, because he's looking very cool with jeans and all. But what interest me more is who does he wearing that night? It's still the same set of rolex + gucci + most-expensive nokia + gold chain and topped with guess shirt + oh darn I forget that brand of the bag he's wearing.. :((

It doesn't have a real connection what so ever with the book. But I just find it amusing meeting someone (a guy!!) who actually wear those brand I only dare to read in books and magazines.

And I wonder, was all that makes him a fashion addict? Or just simply darn successful in life? *shit!!*
