Shopping for this girl

   Posted by: dementia   in General, White-Collar Blues

Shopping for myself. That’s what I did yesterday afternoon. I went for a quick urinalysis (orders of by OB Gyne) then went to a nearby sale by a factory outlet of Dr. Martens. I was able to find a nice mary janes my size and bought it for 2,200 pesos. Still expensive but Doc Martens are expensive. From there, I went to Robinson’s Galleria because the Smart Wireless Center there is cozier than Shangri-la’s. My Plan 800 expired October last year and since I have no plans of switching, I got their retention plan. Because of the retention plan, I was able to buy a discounted Sony Ericsson P1i for 12,000 pesos. I think the current market value of the unit is 17K so it’s still a good deal. Actually I wasn’t expecting that I will be able to take home the unit today but my papers got processed fast.

Where did I get my money for all these? Since mom began helping me organize the payment of my credit card debts, I was able to save a lot of salary money. I still don’t know how she did it but it’s working great.

So yeah, new phone and new shoes. I’m happy again but how long will that last?

There Will Be Changes

   Posted by: dementia   in Blog News, White-Collar Blues

Ugh. Too many people visited my blog last month and the traffic ate up all my bandwidth allocation. So, now that I am back, there will be changes here.

I will transfer to a new webhost. I took Shabby’s recommendation and bought some space from totalchoicehosting.com. It’s much more expensive but I don’t want to experience bandwidth problems ever again. Grace recommended other webhosts but I found them too expensive. Sorry, Grace.

Another change is that I will be starting a new blog. It’ll be my money-making blog and hopefully, I will generate enough money to cover the webhost and domain name costs. I’m also hoping that the blog will make me so much money that I will be able to pay off my credit card debts. I will announce the new blog when it’s ready to launch.

Last change. I will upgrade to Wordpress 2.5 and that might screw up my theme and the plugins I use. I hope it won’t but just in case you see this blog looks different, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

First Paid Entry (Hopefully)

   Posted by: dementia   in White-Collar Blues

My application to Pay Per Post finally got approved tonight. Like I said several entries ago, I need money for my Japan trip and also to pay off my terrible credit card debt. Ugh! I don’t even want to think about it. I really don’t want to be a sell-out but my income can only cover so much as of the moment.

I envy those professional bloggers who can actually buy something (and not just cheap items) from blogging. I don’t think it’s easy but some of them make it look so effortless. Hmm…actually even some non-pro bloggers I know have earned something from their blogs. If I’m not mistaken, LA has earned enough to buy an ipod touch (how much are those anyway?). If I generate enough money, there are my priorities:

  1. Pay off that goddamn credit card debt
  2. Save up for shopping money in Japan
  3. Save blogging money to buy another ball jointed doll and I want a female one this time.

Well, that’s it so far. I don’t want my list to be long because that might jinx everything. But yeah, Pay Per Post, I am counting on you!

Oops. I forgot this requisite link. blog ethics

Damnit! Am I even doing this correctly?!

Prada Bag

I’m not really into designer bags. The only designer bags I have is a small Betsey Johnson purse and a Coach satchel I bought several years ago. I couldn’t afford them bags and if I have enough money for one, I would buy another ball jointed doll instead. But I so love the Prada bag in the photo, especially the one at the bottom. The illustration reminds me of Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas. I have no idea how much the bag costs but I am so sure it’s expensive.

Earrings and Pink Wellies

   Posted by: dementia   in Are We Not Femme?, Love Doll, White-Collar Blues

I went with my family to Galleria and Powerplant malls and ended up spending again… just when I am trying to save money. Haaay. I bought small hoop earrings for Yasu (although I still haven’t drilled holes in his ears) and Paul Frank wellies at Anthem. The wellies were a bit expensive but I think it’s worth it. I’ve always wanted to buy galoshes and was tempted to buy from Plueys before but I was hesitant because I couldn’t fit them first. I have humongous feet and finding shoes which fit and look nice on my feet is terribly hard. I think it was good timing for me because the store only had 2 designs and both were size 9/10. After I tried the pink one I didn’t take it off anymore. I really love it even if most of my clothes would clash with the color. To hell with it! I’m tired of seeing really nice shoes which don’t fit!

Photography

   Posted by: dementia   in Geek the Girl, White-Collar Blues

I haven’t had any sleep yet so pardonne-moi if this entry lacks coherence.

I’m gonna get me some DSLR loving for mah birthday. I have enough for a brand new Canon 400D with kitlens but what I really want is a 40D or a Nikon D80. I read on some forums here that Nikon’s service center really sucks so that’s a major drawback. Otherwise, I would really get the D80 even if it’s over my budget. The 40D is the most expensive among the three but that’s what I really really want because it does well on low light situations. Too bad for me cos I can’t afford it unless I get more birthday money or people buy all the stuff I’m selling (plug: I’m having a sale! go visit my store and buy!) or rich sultan falls in love with me and showers me with money. I wonder how much my digicam would fetch if I sell it. I just bought it early this year.

R.I.P. Ipod

   Posted by: dementia   in Bloody Hell, Root of Evil, White-Collar Blues

Fuck! My ipod is officially dead. I thought I was able to somehow resurrect it by defragging the drive. That worked for a while but not anymore. Sad. I reformatted everything, thereby erasing all the songs, in the hopes that the fuck would work. It didn’t. So goodbye mp MP3 collections. Goodbye my 3-year old ipod. It was good while it lasted.

Now I have to save up again to buy a new one (
