This is a totally shallow post.
In my last post I've mentioned that I'll no longer buy anything (major) this coming 2012 mainly because I felt like I have been so materialistic this year. In a span of 11 months,
I bought hubby bought the following (add to that the occasional shopping for clothes and shoes and other stuff):
 |
| lv speedy 35 (plus a long champ le pliage tote in old rose) |
 |
| white blackberry bold 9700 |
 |
| swatch full-blooded caramel |
My husband is the sweetest because he's very malambing but he's not the type of guy who'd surprise you with gifts. With that in mind, I have learned to just ask, hehe. But we always talk things over first - hindi pwede yung basta na lang bumile kasi gusto. With the LV bag, I bought it because of practicality's sake (chos!). I have always been a bag person and when I was younger I have collected a number of bags which I realized are not really for keeps because of the not-so-good quality. So I've decided that it's okay for me to just have a maximum of 5 bags but would last me a lifetime. Although I still have 10 bags left, I think. As with the BB, I have never bought a celphone for the past 4 years or so..all the phones I've used are hand-me-downs from my mom. And it's actually hubby's treat for me for being a good housewife =). Now with the watch, in as much as I'm a bag(not anymore) and shoes person, I'm also a big fan of watches. I feel naked without it. I have quite a few watches but most of them are my mom's. I asked hubby for the swatch full-blooded because of it's size and I thought it would be good enough in place of the Michael Kors oversized runway watch I was eyeing. But I felt like it was parang pang teenager. Then I learned that yun nga, there's a
newly opened MK shop here in Riyadh so I begged hubby to give it to me as a christmas gift na lang. But if there's one lesson I learned, it's to never settle for anything less than what you've dreamed of. Just like with the watch, my husband asked me, "Baket mo pa binile kung di mo pala talaga gusto?" I wasn't able to answer kasi tama naman siya. So there, instead of saving money (swatch is only $126 compared to MK which is $250), napadoble pa tuloy ang gastos.
So in closing, I want to share what my husband always tells me, "Hindi tayo nandito sa Saudi para sa mga sale!" Korek!
