Only a month away from me paying my tuition fees and I still don’t have my visa. I am getting worried each day that passes by. Then again, my sister always cheers me up by saying the right things at the right time. Like being positive. Then comes the right CLOTHES at the right time!

Yesterday marks the middle of the year. 2011 has gone by so fast that I couldn’t even feel it anymore. Yesterday also marked the start of every store’s MID-YEAR SALE.

ME + SALE + PAY DAY + DEPRESSION + STRESS = BROKE

Seriously. I was perfectly happy with how I was able to save enough money for my Cebu trip. But after that, it was hard for me to let go of shopping now that I do not have any other thing to worry about (except for our trip to Baguio which, I am hoping, won’t be as costly as Cebu).

MANGO was having their “EVERYTHING AT 50% OFF” sale since last week. I passed by last Monday and guess what I got out with — a paper bag with 2 blouses and 1 dress plus a bag, and a bankrupt ATM card.

And then June 30th came.

Then July 1. I saw a post from ZARA’s fan page in Facebook that they were having a sale. And because I was all depressed, stressed, but happy and celebrating that day, I had to go out and splurge, yet again.

So I came out with 2 blouses on hand. I still had enough money, supposedly to last me until the end of August, including the succeeding pay days that I will be getting this July.

But, my sister had to take me back to ZARA a while ago. We saw this CUTE Canada shirt. I was telling her that I might over-do it, that I might over-think positively and things might turn out wrong. Well, despite that, she was still able to convince me to buy that Php800 shirt from ZARA TRF. I swore to myself just a little while ago that I will only start wearing that shirt once I get my visa and with good news.

Things did not just end there. We went to NIKE Women and found out that the pair of rubber shoes that I wanted was a limited edition stock and they will not be having another one EVER. They did not have my size there so I was a little thankful. But when we went to Marquee Mall after we got home, they had my size on the color that my sister wanted. I didn’t want to disappoint her by getting the color that she wanted but then I needed my walking shoes. She just commented that at least I had her approval to get the shoes even though she looked really disappointed. At least I had her consent. That’s the only thing that makes her feel good.

And so, I have never splurged this much in my entire life! Like, buying from 3 different stores in ONE week! 3 different not-cheap stores!!

This is only because I just resigned. I am enjoying what will be left of my money. Hahaha. I know that I should not resign before my visa comes because I might not be accepted, but the fact that I am really miserable in that office and in that city, I would rather rest for a little while and then look for a job than not leave and be stuck there.

I would have loved to buy boots. But I think these clothes and the shoes are enough for me as of the moment. It has only been 2 days since pay day and I am literally broke. As in I-do-not-know-how-I-will-survive-until-the-next-pay-day kind of broke…. :|
