Angelo!

I'm not a frugal shopper or anything, but I really love finding bargain prices. Sometimes, I am the type of shopper who would return a newly bought item because I found it for a cheaper price elsewhere, or I would just ask for a price match. Haha :] Of course, "sometimes" refer to the circumstance. I mean, I wouldn't do the commute just to return an item, or buy it for the cheaper price. EG: Buying a shirt in SF and finding it cheaper at the local mall. I would not go back to SF to return the shirt because it's a few bucks more expensive. Unless there's a local store to return the merchandise to. Do I kind of make some sense? I'm too tired to fully explain. Anyway, I came about to sharing this nonsense because I bought Sex and the City, The Comple Series DVD along with the movie for $100-something off at Borders earlier. ;p Good buy, right? YES! Except, I found the same (new) items online for $50 less with free shipping a few hours later. What's the better deal? The online deal, of course! I ordered the two items, and as soon as they arrive, I will be returning the first pair of items I bought. Uh yeah, don't mind me.

So...

Miracle at St. Anna is one crazy movie. Because a few hours isn't usually enough to capture the entire feel of a novel, I'm thinking about reading the book. First, I have to recollect myself, and get the actual guts to read through it. I cried during various scenes in the movie, and no, it wasn't the sappy-type cry. ;)

Coco

my MasterCard*

Premium gas fill up: $40
Dinner with a familiar waiter: $35
CA toll for crossing the bridge: $4
Coffee for the heart: $8
A new pair of sunglasses: $600

Spending all of these with the love of your life: Priceless

<3maple.

* If the elections weren't coming up, gas would have probably been more expensive. It's not fun having to pay that much for gas, especially since the Bay Area has the highest average gas prices in the country. >;[ Similarly, I don't like disbursing $4 for toll, but if it means a beautiful California bridge, then sure. Please, Mr. Governor, don't raise it to $5!

On the brighter side, I love random dine outs! Steak, shrimp, mashed potatoes, and a generous plate of ceasar salad? Mmm! [: Oh, Starbucks is love; need I say more?

& yes, I own a new pair of premier sunglasses. My collection is growing, yay! :D They were a late, late but well-deserved (well, at least Boyf thinks so) birthday present. YUPPP, lol.

EL FIN.


postscript: I finally took my birthday iPod out of the box. Haha ;P

Precious again!

Why create a new blog?

Just because.

Yes, that's my answer - a childish, bratty utterance of just because. However, before you go into judging me, let me try to convince you that it isn't as bad as I might have put it. The old one was full of archives that I have read over and over again. They're practically embedded in my mind - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Since most of them are written in a personal journal and the good times will always be remembered, then it's time to move on. I no longer want to browse through my old posts, only to come across some ugly, evil writing that would turn me bitter. A big no, no nowadays.

Fcuk January 07. Fcuk April 08. Fcuk the bad times. Cheers to the good times.

(Yeah, that probably wasn't a very good idea, but who gives a fcuk right now?!) I don't! Haha. Oh, and this new blog... will most probably stick. ;)
