Carrot muffins for breakfast. Unusually the breakfast for that day but it's okay. Packed cans of softdrinks, eggr0lls, and gelatine made from pure mango. I told myself and my companions we don't need to buy from the fastfood when we get there because our budget for clothing and school supplies are limited. Last year we spent close to $450.00 just for the school supply because we followed the "details of list" in the department store where we used to shop. Actually most of the supply in the list is not really necessary. Then we spent about $500.00 + tax of course for my kid's clothing, shoes, and bags. The designer bags they didn't use because they don't like being called "nerds." I just couldn't believe it.
Now we reduced our budget to only $200.00 for school supply. Then seeing our lady love being sad about something then her father told her she can choose any game at the arcade of PSP, PSP 2, DVD, Wii, XBOX, and the many gaming discs available all in one shop. There are multitudes to choose from. Then later she had chosen the "Transformers : Revenge Of The Fallen." for PSP2. That's the only game she doesn't have. She's got almost all the games in the glass window show case in her collection so be it. The price of that game is worth $39.00 +5% GST & 7%PST.
We asked the sales clerk to assist us but he told us that there's a guy who is the next in line. I looked at the man with a beard and I told to myself isn't he that guy in another blog in the internet. Well, I didn't ask. I'm not that nosy enough to bother. Alam mo na maraming magkakamukha sa mundong ito.
I bought what I need to buy such as accessories for my sewing project. I had finished too many blouses, skirt, and square pants. All it needs > zipper and elastic. I was thinking of buying a bag of assorted buttons in different shape and sizes for just $ 5.99 but probably that can wait. We didn't buy lots of clothes. I noticed that the kind of fabric the manufacturer used for some blouses are of cheap material. I'm sorry to say that. Maybe that's why the price is not that costly because the material is cheap. That's what it is. I should shop in Divisoria instead. Divisoria is the site for thousand of rolls and tons of textile that you would have trouble breathing because of the many variety of textiles that were piled up one on top of another.
The $200 budget is gone. My kids need new pair of shoes. They outsized the shoes they had last school year and you know the price of shoes are maddening. It's crazy. You really have to buy durable shoes that will last until it fits their toes right? So off we go to the Shoe Warehouse. The salesclerks are helpful and they assisted us nicely. They are friendly and accommodating. That's what is normally should be when you're selling something so that you'll have lots of customers. I tried to fit in some cute -looking semi -leather shoes with pumps on it. The sales clerk said it's nice but it's big for me. I replied that I have different shoe size. Sometimes it's 5, 5 1/2, 6 or 7 it depends in whatever country I am. The clerk walked away and heard her say she needs a break.
After my husband paid the 2 pair of Nike shoes off we go. He was carrying the 2 boxes of shoes and asked if he needs a bag for those boxes. When we're about to exit the door, there was a loud beep. We walked back and asked what's wrong. The clerk said, "No there's nothing wrong with you." Then I asked if there is something that she forgot. She answered back with a smile and said," Maybe one of you has something in it." Uhm what is she talking about I asked myself and I blurted out, " You know what? I am armed and dangerous! I don't carry a crap about anybody." Then I laughed while I get out from that wacky store. Then I yelled back, " Yes! I have a lethal weapon." (( I have a lethal weapon by Mel Gibson's)) j/k.
Back at home, while I was busy planning for our supper and at the same time sorting out the school supply for my kids and another duty I have been busy about. Yes I am a multi-tasker doing 3 kind of work in just a matter of hour. Our daughter started her game. At first she was smiling, laughing at the intense battle of robots. One time she was scowling and unable to show facial expression being frustrated about a new game on hand. Too many controls: robot, vehicle, flight, gameplay tips and strategy. It was one heck of loud noise, quirks and quarks of lasers. After five hours the game is finished! WTH the brother was screaming. That's all? What a total waste of money.
FIVE HOURS! She finished the whole game in 5 hours (that will take 2-3 days) but because she was able to solve the problem of mystery and suspense.
Last nite in the middle of the night, I can't help laughed at what happened. I cannot go back to sleep that I turned on the television to know what transpired. I was shocked when a saw this funny show a woman talking face to face to the ex-convict wearing orange-colored outfit holding on the telephone behind the thick window glass inside the prison. The man? He happened to be the guy's look alike in the store where we bought the PSP game.
