You call that boring?
Thursday, June 1st, 2006Another uneventful day here. I woke up late because I had a hard time trying to wake my mind. I guess I got out of bed a little past 1 pm. Took a shower and had lunch and played with the kids here but I took a nap while they were watching the Berenstein Bears. Mom woke me up around 4 because she wanted to go to a grocery since my aunt’s baby ran out of milk. I didn’t bother dressing up or fixing myself. Nobody really cares if you look like crap here. I was just in a really short shorts and a t-shirt and never got any rude stares. I would be a laughing stock if I did that in the Philippines. Anyway, so I drove mom there and we ended up buying quite a lot of stuff we wanted to take back to the Philippines. I really love groceries here because they have everything! There are so many choices. After a $169 bill (mom paid for it), we went back to the house. I was planning to take another nap when my aunt called from the office and told me to dress up because she’s taking us out.
That happened. Sort of. We were supposed to watch a movie but we didn’t. Instead, my aunt shopped for seafood at the Asian grocery while the rest of us went to Factory 2 U store (they sell export over-runs). I saw a lot of clothes my size and they were cheap. I bought 5 pairs of jeans for just $5 each, bras for around $3.99, and shirts for around $4. If I remember correctly, my bill ran up to $79 and that leaves me with exactly $200 (I checked my wallet). After this, we went to Eastridge mall. I don’t know why we bothered because we stayed there for like 10 minutes. Still, I bought 4 bottles of pink hair dyes. That’s $21 which I charged to my debit card.
We went back to the house and Rose cooked the seafood she bought. We were starving because this was already around 10 pm. I didn’t want to go out anymore but the hosts wanted to hang out along Santana Row, a posh place here in San Jose, and drive around with their sparkling new beamer. I’m not into BMW’s so their car didn’t impress me much. If somebody gives me one, I wouldn’t say no to it though. I think we got to Santana Row past 11 pm so the cafes were closing already. They decided to call it a night so we went home after that.
Uneventful day but my entry is still long. Obviously, I still have money problems. I’m trying to figure out how to make the google adsense work. I’m also trying to figure out how to make my $200 last until June 25.
