Earlier this morning my mom raided my wallet for a monthly financial audit.

We were shocked. Literally SHOCKED!!!

I had spent both of my savings account to almost 1% of its original amount the beginning of the month. Literally.

Man, I am SO DEAD!!!

But looking back I did make a lot of purchases using the cards.

I used it on outfits, to buy cellphone credits, to buy books, to eat, to take out cash to put in my wallet, etc etc.

Man I am such a spender!!!

And looking back to my blog posts or my tweets or my fb status updates, I shoulda seen it coming.
It was so often that I tweeted/wrote that I splurged on this and that.
Why can't I hold myself back??!!!

*sigh*

I feel so bad for my parents.

What am I gonna do?

Today and yesterday alone I went crazy and had 4 major purchases.



This is really getting out of control.


On a happier note, today after we (the family that is) had gone to UI so that I could borrow some books for finals, we went to Farra's cram school to pick her up.

We then performed salat at a nearby mosque where my dad's shoes were stolen so we went and bought him new ones at a nearby shopping center.
I had had a bad feeling about this--leaving the shoes unattended. But we prayed there times before and it was alright.
We were SO wrong.

It was just plain ridiculous that someone could perform such unseemly things at such a holy place.

Anyways, we went to Pondok Indah Mall afterwards to have lunch at Tokigawa Resto where the food ain't that good I'm telling you,







and then we went shopping.

This is when I lost control again.

Damn it.

Oh yea before I forgot. We (my mom, my sisters and I) found this sign at this gas station in BSD when we were on our way to the airport to pick up my dad on Thursday.

LOL.


Of all the irony.

You know why? Because yesterday was the last day of the mid-term exams.
And now campus life's started again as USUAL!!![???]
Unbelievable?! Yes, I know.

Anyways here's how it happened, after salat I went back to sleep. I had planned to wake up at 6AM or maybe 6:30...but instead I woke up at 7:12 hehe.

School started at 8 and no matter what I tried to do, I would never get to school on time.
And so I contented myself with playing tetris on my phone and then making necklaces haha.

I was gonna meet up with my ex today, something I shouldn't have done I know but I just can't help it. But because I didn't go to school today, so I didn't.
I know I have to sort it out, my feelings I mean, and interacting with him would only hinder me from achieving a clear state of mind.

Anyways, I really want to go shopping today! And since I'm free, I begged my mom to go with me on a shopping spree. But she declined.

I was gonna go to my orthodontist to change the rubber in my braces, but I just got word that her husband (my orthodontist's husband) just died. Innalillahi wa innailaihi rojiun. And so now the doctor trip's cancelled.

At any rate, I want paaaaaants!!! Well, rather shorts... And guess what?! I just found some of my old--actually my mom's old acid washed jeans haha! Hooray!!!







BTW, I start Aikido today!!! Can't WAIT!!! :D

P.s. I just found out that the EarthHour link didn't work on my last entry... So sorry...

Man, my back is still hurting and my feet too! I was stuck in a 2-and-a-half hour traffic (from 4:30PM to 7PM or so last night) due to the dam breakout yesterday.

The thing is I didn't suspect that there was a dam breakout the morning it happened. I remember passing by Pasar Jumat, and seeing people hoisting up a refrigerator inside which was this heavy wet sack. I had thought that the sack and fridge contained a dead, mutilated body perhaps, seeing that was the trend in Indonesia's criminal activities. But as it was mid-term I couldn't pull up and ask what was going on. It was only after my mom texted me what had happened did I realize what that was all about.

Anyhow, don't forget to turn off the lights tonight, March 28 at 8.30PM.
Remember you can VOTE EARTH by switching off your lights for an hour - EARTH HOUR. :D
