Excessorize

My 2010 is marked by over self-indulgence.

In the beginning of the year, I was so sick that I used up almost all my leave credits. I was absent from work for months at a time.

On days that I was strong enough to go out of the house, I would indluge in expensive lunches and dinners, thinking that the more I spend on food, the better I would feel.

And then there was my obsession over thrifting. I would scour the ukay shops in the vicinity of Cubao, Kamuning, Anonas for everything from cute skirts to jackets to trench coats, to boyfriend blazers, to dresses which are not exactly wearable, then I would have these stuff altered just so they would fit me.

And then the magazines. I bought all the current issues of Preview, then the back issues. Then I bought all the back issues of Yummy available in Filbar.

Then there was the issue of groceries. There came I point when I was at the grocery shop every day for, like, a month. Then I would cook elaborate dinners like spaghetti or Pad Thai noodles for my housemates.

And then there was the shoes. Oh, yes, I bought shoes that I would wear once, decide that I hate them and then give them away.

In short, I wasted a LOT of money this year.

And so, dear friends, if you are reading this, I want you to know that for Christmas, I would be giving away stuff I already have on hand right now. Don't worry, the stuff I'll be giving away are nice, and clean. I obsessively clean them, especially the stuff I bought from ukay.

Yun lang. Hehe. ###
