Story of a Spendthrift: Recent Purchases and Other Whims

Today, I'll pick one from the endless list of things I'm bad at and talk about it here.

Whenever I have cash and something within my budget catches my eye, the next thing I know *bam!* I'm already holding it in my hands. At least this only applies to books and sometimes, food. As for usual girly things such as clothes, I'm very tight-fisted on my cash. I only go for cheap, but comfortable and unique pieces for my wardrobe. A simple way of putting this is I'd rather splurge on novels than on ~*fashion*~.

Recently, I bought items belonging to both categories. Here's a photo (since most blog readers would like posts with pictures in it):

Guess which between the novel and the skirt costs more?

....The novel! (Surprised, aren't you?) The vintage skirt with the adorbz color combination only costs Php130, roughly $3. I bought it from Martina's OnlineShoppe on Facebook. Their shop has affordable and one-of-a-kind finds, so I didn't think twice ordering the skirt.

The Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close novel has been on my watch for a couple of weeks now, but I only got to snag a copy just recently. Here it costs Php 555 or around $13. Also, I included the Top Gear mag (for the love of ALL types of cars!) which I collect every month for the lulz.

Although I'm getting a Kindle Touch soon, my splurging on books won't end due to me still preferring the feel and smell between the pages of a book. (Readers will understand!!!) See, I'm really bad when it comes to handling my own money; to think I'm almost going to graduate from my business-related course.
