missmanners Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 i find that i have strange shopping habits. i tend to get repelled by malls when i'm in a good mood as i don't like crowds and the search for the perfect parking space and the many, many things beckoning to be bought. and i am pretty successful on the most part in telling myself that malls are evil places. however, when i hit a low point, my first instinct is to go shopping. i don't know why. i've never really thought to look to my childhood to find some error in behavior there. but it's frustrating. because when you find yourself at the mall and you're seething in anger or drowning in despair, you tend to buy impulsively (and dare i say, stupidly). i tend to regret most of the purchases i make when am at this state. but it did recently occur to me as well that i might really have a problem. could i be a shopping addict? uhm. hahaha. let me know if you think you are as well... and what was the last thing you bought? let's try to help each other out of our addiction. let's form a shopping addicts anonymous or something. :boo: Quote Link to comment

missmanners Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 welcome, mr. masi. do explain why black nike golf balls would be more desirable than your normal white ones. or, just like us shopaholics, do you find that "you just had to have it"? miss wyld! you're going BACK??? hahahaha. oh dear. i'm afraid to ask the damage. but go on right ahead. went to the grocery yesterday to stock up on essentials (shampoo, mouthwash, deodorant)... i ended up swinging by the health foods section and buying a whole box of granola cereal and soy milk to go with it... because i figured it'd be guilt-free compared to the frosties i usually prefer. hahahaha. as usual, i ended up going over budget. see, even simple grocery errands for me turn into opportunities for the shopaholic in me to burn a hole through my pocket.

Wyld Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Actually, the damage yesterday was ...slight There is no saying how much the damage will be this weekend... because Banana Republic has just gone on clearance mode too. :cry: Yun nga lang... after VS I went and pick up my sister's prescription. As it wasnt ready yet, I ended up browsing around the grocery section of the pharmacy and walked off with Orange Juice (an essential) and Orange-Banana-Strawberry Juice (a non essential)... What can I say? :hypocritesmiley: Quote Link to comment

masi Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 welcome, mr. masi. do explain why black nike golf balls would be more desirable than your normal white ones. or, just like us shopaholics, do you find that "you just had to have it"? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well, miss manners for the reason that they are the newest golf balls under the nike one series that came out.. well nike just came out with a newer series known as platinum.. the sad part now is that i have more than 4 dozen golf balls, 3 brand new golf gloves, 2 new caps... and it's the onset of the monsoon season here...well golf balls could keep for 6 months -- a year max.. but my golf skill doesnt hold... hmmm...then i should not visit the golf shop... i might as well go to the wine shop and get a bottle of cabernet or a shiraz or a pinot, then... good luck!!!!

Wyld Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 @ missmanners... i know.

Google Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 nope. i hate shopping, specially window shopping. when i need something, i go to the shop specifically carrying that product, get it and go back. what did i buy last? hmmm. last weekend, i bought a 120 ML bottle of Emporio Armani Black cologne at Rustans Alabang. oh, and if i may add. thank God for Internet shopping.
