the first week of my much-awaited summer vacation has come and gone, and i can't believe i spent it the way i did.
tuesday and wednesday was spent partly working and partly shopping. well, mostly shopping. ended up buying a pair of sequined mules, a white electric pleat skirt (very princess-y), a crisp beige non-iron long-sleeved shirt, a very MANGO-looking pair of pants, and a pink and green puff-sleeved shirt. gosh. and i wasn't even planning on shopping for me.
which is funny, because when i told my classmate about my surprise purchases she just smirked and grunted "impulse buyer" under her breath, and i got so irked. i hate it when people generalize like that, like they know exactly everything. granted, i did buy a lot of things in the span of 2 days, but they were things ive been looking all over for for quite some time already. because i wouldn't consider buying something unless it's priced within my specified budget. and so they could never have been impulse purchases. if i may say so, they were very well-thought of purchases.
it made me feel a little sad, and a little violated, partly because now im conducting the trial run of the personal shopping thing. if im so affected about what one girl will say about my purchases, how can i do that consistently without ending up in tears?
*resolution. stop listening to people who don't matter, and who will not contribute to future success.
going further, the week was NOT, thankfully, spent shopping. a good part of it was spent working actually, thursday being briefed for graduation rites (volunteered to be an usher), and friday doing legal research for a criminal case. cannot believe that i actually spent friday night reading my old consti cases looking for reasons to acquit someone possessing something malum prohibitum. god. reading cases during the summer.
saturday was spent schmoozing. my dad had a party for the newly passed lawyers and so a lot of drunk lawyers went crooning into the night courtesy of our newly repaired (i wish it were broken) magic mic. hooboy. our poor neighbors.
sunday was a veeerrrrryyyy lazy day. videos and magazines. and a very long nap wherein i dated someone i really shouldn't have and our house burned down. (i dont remember if they were at all related, but it just goes to show that when you date someone you shouldn't something gets burned. hehehe)
i really do need to expand my summer activities. on the upside, thanks to ais, i signed up for the i-volunteer projects. (for those interested, its www.i-volunteer.com.ph) waiting for a reply from the organizers. hope it'll turn out okay.
any summer jobs, internships you guys know of? email me!!!
