Today felt like a roller coaster ride. It was an ultimate high when I was able to finally book our flight to Bohol and confirmed our reservation at Dumaluan Resort for our family's much needed break from the stress that metropolis brings to us on a daily basis. In the meantime, I've shelved my search for a bathing suit and will just stress myself 3 days before the trip.
At work was no difference from the other days this week. If last month was raining contracts... this week, I am experiencing el niño, a phenomenon characterized by extreme stress due to low or should I say no signed contracts. But I'm hoping that this extreme conditions will not continue till after the Holy Week.
And speaking of holy week, we'll be spending it with relatives in Nasugbu. I'm excited to bring AJ's inflatable swimming pool so he gets to enjoy swimming with his cousins. I'm also excited for Tintin and Paolo's wedding this coming Easter Sunday. This the first time that I get to attend a wedding in Caleruega where I am just a guest (and not the bride). Also, I'm looking forward to see what's so splendid about Splendido, where their reception will be held. And ok i'll be honest na, I'm looking forward on what's in store for us in the buffet table.
Its payday today! Yahoo!! But I did not visit any ATM since I still got cash on my wallet. I decided to shop for some tops that I can use for work... and since its a Sale weekend at malls I was expecting to get good deals, half the price, buy one take one etc. So I headed to Bayo, saw this navy, v-neck, three-fourth sleeves top that seems perfectly fits me and a blue babydoll shirt that I can use during the day tour around bohol. I fall in line to get the items fitted. They fit great! Paid half the price for each top. I felt like Becky Bloomwood all over again.
[Rewind to falling in line to the fitting room]
While I was waiting for my turn...my mind was traveling...to where? I don't remember anymore. The next thing I saw was that my bag was open and I can no longer see the bronze phone case that Louie gave me. Panic rushed to my body. I looked at the person behind me but no one was there anymore. I've been robbed. Stay calm. I looked into my bag again, I might be in there somewhere. But my bag was small enough you could see what's inside it in just a glance. Its not there. I got my other phone and dialed. The phone is off. And long gone.
I have so many what ifs ... But I don't want to dwell on it because it will just add insult to injury. No use of getting hysterical as well so I just calmly wait for my turn to use the fitting room and decided to go to Smart Wireless Center to have my line barred for the meantime.
[Fast-forward to inside the fitting room]
For a moment, I forgot that my N73ME was stolen from me, the tops I picked were great and fits perfectly. For a moment there.. I was glad I went to Bayo... but then I also wish I didn't.
When a shopaholic is sad and down... she goes shopping! After reporting to smart that my phone had been stolen, I went to VNC to find me a nice pair of sandals.. but to no avail. Then I decided to shop for AJ instead. I bought him Khaki shorts from Guess Baby and 3 shirts from Gingersnaps. I then went to BodyShop and bought lip and cheek stain (buy 1 take 1) and their new cheek stain creme (one with shimmer and the other without - also buy 1 take 1). Then I saw this nice top from Flowers Collection, its not part of their merchandise on sale but since I love the fit and the color ..what the heck! Swipe it!
Shopping bags at hand, I counted my purchases. I approximately added P5,000++ to my credit card bill for April (not to mention the plane tickets I purchased online for 5 people).
What can I do? I'm stressed, depressed and ripped off!
