Pampering Myself

We work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and we do need to do something to pamper ourselves from time to time. It's our hard-earned money anyway. A wise man saves for a rainy day, but a wiser man knows how to save and pamper himself as well. It has been my habit to really put in some savings to my bank account but I also see to it that I don't deprive myself of the things that I crave for. Whether it has to be food, clothing, entertainment, or relaxation. I would not want to wake up one day regretting why I never did this or why I never bought that for myself.

Every time there is a big sale in the malls, I make an effort to go there and just look around and see whether I'll like something, if I don't see anything nice then I just go home with nothing but a full tummy. The last time I went to a mall sale was during the Labor day Sale at SM mall and I really went home happy. First I saw a really beautiful dress ( it's a tube and shorts combi) and when I saw it on the mannequin I just really fell in love with it. It was not included among the items on sale, but what the heck even if the price is kinda high I just have to buy it especially after trying it out in the fitting room. Second, I was with my mother so it was bonding time for us and I was also able to buy her a bag. Third, we won some gift certificates from Mang Inasal and Chikkies and Patties as we were about to head home. What luck huh?

Here's a picture of me wearing that dress that I bought with some of my officemates in a party last week:



Well they said attire was black and white. Black is certainly out coz my parents have always restricted us from wearing black... it's a Chinese tradition. White? errr would not want to wear a white shirt and look plain.. but would not also want to wear my long sleeves.. hahaha! hindi tayo mag rereport sa office noh.. napaka formal naman if I'll wear long sleeves. So I decided to wear my red dress. Well I'm not the only one who is not wearing anything black or white... from this group pic below you will see there is 4 of us.. and that does not include those from the morning shift who also did not wear black or white..
