I mean I can control the flow of the money if I am really determined you know, but since I just want to save a few cash I don't bring big amounts at all. When I say big, it usually means Php100 and up. The lowest I came around and dared to bring in college was Php 14.00. Haha. Really. Php7.00 for my back and forth fare. oh dba? Tipid. But that only happens twice a week when I only have one class which would last for an hour.
Anyway, for a week I've been carrying a big amount of money because someone paid me 2k and another 500 coz they borrowed and I forgot to leave them at home... and yesterday I went to the mall. You can just imagine... with that amount.. nyahaha. I can prolly finish it all up.. but hey I have my future(the next few weeks) to think of.
I bought some blank CD's(it's part of my business.. and a year ago it was uhmm burning you know.."stuffs" but now I don't accept that anymore.. righteousness and all that. I only burn some business files/audios for my mom and her partners which can be mass produced.) and in front of that store is my favorritteeee bookk stoooreeeeeee. Sooo yeah, me and Nessa (i was with nessa that time by the way) decided to just take a peek.
I found good books. Waaa. I decided to buy only one but uhmmm I bought 4. So much for saving the money. Anyway, I got soo excited by the books I decided to arrange my books and take some pictures for my upcoming review if I happened to finish reading them for my ESPRESSO BREAK blog.
Anyway..... here's a picture of my Book/Computer Shelf. Do not mind the clutter please. When I'm working.. clutter happens.
On the left side are the books I've read... on the right side.. are the books waiting to be read. Nyahaha. Wala lang. I loveee my collections. Most of them were from my money.. a few were gifts from friends... and some from my mom.
I can't wait to read the books. Hayy. Sooo manyy books and yet... so little time. Hehe.
Sorry for this post. Just an update got nothing else to talk about. See you! Have a great weekend!

For me with regards to food, when I do saving, I usually just bring food from home (like sandwiches and the like) so I will be prevented from buying outside. For other things? well I just window shop most of the time :D

I remember back in college, I would try not to binge on foods that much para naman I can save enough money to buy a new book... every week yan! Hehehe... Ngaun naman that I have work na, I normally browse forums where they offer bulk buying of books. I got all Patricia Cornwell and Sandra Brown books (that's about 40+ books in all) for 3k only. O di ba big savings na? Hehehe
Sa sobrang dami kong books, I need to invest in a book closet na.
It really is hard to save lalo na at impulsive buyer ka. Ganyan ako. Pero now, what I do is, I simply avoid going to stores para maka-save kahit konti
Great post, Tina!
