For the very first time in the course of my existence, I actually went out of my way to the nearest mall just to shop for clothes that I really needed. Aside from clothes, I also decided to treat myself out and purchase whatever it is that I want to purchase and eat whatever it is that I want to eat.The original plan was to proceed to Trinoma in Quezon City, but then thought that I didn't have much time left in my hands, and there's practically nothing that I have not seen there before anyway, after having been there for the longest time since college.
So off I went to SM Fairview instead, and there I set off alone. I bought myself a belt, some sweets, a computer mouse, and a pair of Fila slippers that were put on sale. I also watched a screening of the movie 2012. I found the movie to be thrilling, especially with other people in the cinema screaming their lungs out. When you look at the story carefully, however, it just looks like some modern-day Noah's Ark story.
As I have mentioned above, this is a first for me. I usually delegate the task of purchasing my clothing to my aunt, who would love to do so. She knows very well that shopping is not one of my fondest activities. It didn't even matter much to me what the design is, as long as it's comfortable.
But then again, I have to do this for myself. I have to learn well how to decide firmly for myself. Even more importantly, I have to do this in order to set aside the present for a while and escape to a world I have never seen before. When it is your task to wait for that special someone who chooses not to communicate and leave your relationship to the winds because of more pressing issues, you really have to find some sort of good distraction--or else everything will go further downhill from there. I cannot keep on spending just to distract myself from life's worries, though. I have to think of something else. Does anyone here have any other idea?
