I really am glad to know that my site is gaining already some ranking. It maybe not that much yet, but it’s a wonderful start already. If you try Google searching my name, Pahn, my website is already on 3rd as I type here now, while few hours ago it is on the 4th listing. It really gives me the chills while AGpahn has 7 results already, all connected to me. Last week AGpahn is asking if I mean afghan, and there was no result. But today, it is at the search engine. Yippee!!!
It is funny that I decided to use English as a medium for my site. When I realized that I do targeted the Philippines for my majority viewer. I apologized for having my last post talking like normal Americans talk to one another. I probably got this way of talking from watching Hollywood shows. I’ll try to be simpler with my content. It’s just fine if you don’t feel like reading whole post, visiting it for at least a minute a day would be enough. If you feel guilty to not leave a comment, you may always just check on the first paragraph. I’ll guess I’ll just do it that way. The first paragraph would be enough for a post to be commented already. And my life’s journey will be the things for you to linger about.
I actually planned to be able to give useful information in the future for other researchers to dig in. It’s a little complicated to explain, but I hope I may be able to elaborate it someday. Plus I am practicing my grammars with this.
Warning: This could be a long post which is on English. I just felt like writing many things that happened, Hahaha this is because I am doing nothing right now at work. I just blog hop a while ago for a couple of hours and had a food tripping. It’s really up for you if you felt like reading or not, or you can get back to read this post if you just wanted to waste time.
Okay now. As the life changing goes another day, actually last Saturday, I pass by the mall before going to work to buy a webcam. I noticed that the ASUS Eee PC that I planed to buy after completing my savings is not on display anymore. I firstly try to check out the cheap webcam that I think would be stylish for my taste. Unfortunately, the sales clerk did not recommend me the one I picked because of the low quality of the pixels. He offered me something on the same price, but I did not like the looks, even if it is with better pixels. It’s his fault I choose not to buy it anymore, because he makes me wonder again about buying quality stuffs. Too bad just when I didn’t feel like thinking about what I am buying, he makes me think again. So I went to check on the ASUS Eee PC why it is not on display anymore and when shall the stores have another stock. I got frustrated for a few minutes after knowing that it is just a limited edition notebook so I have no choice but to check on the laptop that is on displayed. As I do a window shopping, I realized again that I can still buy the laptop on time as I target it for me to have. The Eee PC is quite cheap that’s why I wanted it first. But if I got successful getting a credit card on April; I might be able to have the laptop just before June. I just really felt that if I do not need to buy stuffs as credits, due to some past experiences. Our family, all the way to my uncle and cousins relationship, needed to borrow moneys before due to some crisis problem. Just being a smart ass on handling money.
So I went to work, Saturday night shift, and do the usual thing. I tried to blog hop, but I am just to busy with my duty. I was also able to pass by an optical shop at the mall which offers a cheap eye wear. I was being eager to buy my parents proper reading glass, with the right lens that would suite their eyes. Specially my dad who thought that the one he bought in the streets is good enough for him to be able to read; even thou he still has clear vision. They are so exaggerating with stuffs. So I hope to drag my mom and dad to the mall to surprised them that I will buy them reading glasses (Must be both so no one gets envious again with how I handle my money). But when I arrived home, in the morning, my mom firstly asked me if I could lend her some money to buy my uncle some expensive wine for his birthday tomorrow. [Oh great, as if they always know when I have money.] But of course it is always just said “if you could lend us, I’ll pay you back”. This never really happens. So I said I have no money. This makes be decide not to bring them to the optical that day. I would definitely need to spend large amounts of money not just for the glasses, but also for some gifts and wine for my uncle. (Kuripot ako!!! << uy, Tagalog)
How am I able to save money for my target laptop if I spend on things which are just for wants? As a smart ass in handling money, I only buy things that are needed, but not those things that are just wanted.
I woke up in the afternoon, they are not home. I was thinking that they might be at the mall to buy some groceries, or maybe buy the wine with their own money. This is because they just usually do that when there is an occasion. With out thinking, I called them to confirm if they were. If they were, I would just tell them to say and wait for me so I can drop them by the optical shop. Unfortunately, they are not [Lucky me…]. I was just thinking positively on how I am supposed to budget again my money. Since Eee PC is not an option anymore for me, I need to really gain a laptop, which cost double or triple from it. Of course, if I am going to buy a laptop, it should be at least not being left behind the technology. I wanted a something with the latest features at least, Wifi, webcam, Vista, DVD writer, Dual Core, and enough memory and speed. So I am really squeezing my budget this early. [Oh, by the way, the laptop or notebook is part for me to be able to change the Lifestyle I am telling about from my previous post.]
So much for me for being smart ass in money, I still screwed up. As I went to work, Sunday Night shift, I was thinking from the FX what food I am going to buy for dinner to myself. I am really craving for chicken these past few days, I don’t know why yet. I have a stub for McDo which makes the Fried Chicken just cost Php50, while Kenny Rogers was on my mind. I am battling in my mind where should I drop by to buy foods. I was thinking if I should pass by Trinoma, where Kenny Rogers in on the way to MRT, or exactly on MRT, where I can decide to ride the bus so I could sleep and just buy some snacks on the convenient store near the office. But suddenly the driver asked who would drop off Trinoma, then I answered I will, even when I still haven’t decided really yet. I wanted to blame the driver because he asked. If he didn’t, I should just have been able to let it pass by and bye Kenny Rogers. Too bad I go straight to Kenny Rogers. Maybe because I was thinking I don’t need to buy anything for now, I’ll just treat myself with a good meal. So much for that, I screwed already 2 things out. First, saving money, instead of just having a cheap value meal, I bought two roasted chicken, which cost Php300. Secondly, a meal for two is too much for my diet plan, how about that losing of beer belly thingy.
I arrived to work and eat these foods. Slowly, but heck, I think I ate unmannered. I ate like a pig, so gross. Or just say like a dog. Like try throwing a bone to the dog, and notice how they chew on it, I was like that, ewww. As in I even ate the soft bones, doing it as I blog hop. After finishing the food, I noticed how gross I was. With the oil from the chicken in my cheeks and face, I would definitely have another pimple after I wake up. Good thing I still have the facial wash in my box so I rushed cleansing myself. Few hours now from our shift, and only 2 clients contacted me as I compose this post, while my co-workers are watching a marathon of America’s Nest Top Model. Just the last week every one here was also linked with Coffee Prince. Hahahaha.. What’s next??
Since last week up to today, I have noticed lots of people bought themselves some cool gadgets, PSP, brand new phone, new clothes and shoes, signature accessories, etc. I have been always telling my self why didn’t I just chose to have a simple life like them, having a good time of their life, enjoying every second with out worrying about the future.
I don’t know with you my readers. Maybe most of you are still students, who still rely on allowances and parents money. But for those who are working already, those who received their bonuses, what did you do to your money??
Me, as I said from the last post, I bought appliances for my change of lifestyle. These appliances are supposed to be my parents’ responsibility right? But why am I still worrying about them??
Here is just my thing. I am crazy!!!
What would I actually do with these items? I was living already before my life with out them? Would it be an enough prize for a good work for a year?
If we wanted to have something, shouldn’t this something be worth it?
Until here by now… Happy Three Kings!!!
