bury me in this dress

I feel so betrayed…

I bought Bitch: In Praise of Difficult Women last night.

Jeez! In Amazon.com it only costs $6.49 (365 Philippine Pesos). Fully Booked sells it for around P 750 bucks. Rip-off but that book is in my wishlist and I really want a copy of that. Time to remove it from my wishlist. Yay? I also wanted to buy

I told my mom a long time ago that I want to own a Powerbook G4 so I could freelance as a graphic designer and as a Final Cut Pro editor. A 15 inch Powerbook costs around P160,000 here. Compared to if I buy one from the US, it will only cost me around P112,000. I really want to start working already so I could have money so I said to her that it’s okay if I get a secondhand one. I was able to find some sellers but it would still cost us around P89,000. Bummer. I hope I can convince her to get a new one from the US, Hong Kong, or even Singapore because it’s cheaper in those countries. Mom doesn’t know much about computers. She doesn’t even know how to operate one. It makes it hard to convince her that I need my own computer so that I could make a living out of it. She told me to write a feasibility study and I’ve actually started on it tonight. Hopefully, she’ll understand how important it is for me. If I have my own money, I would by one on my own but unfortunately I don’t have much so I have to rely on her.
