The One Where Manhattan Doesn't Have Enough Shops...

So I said, I was trying to save. I lied, ehehe. I tried, but failed miserably. ;D (Duh, I'm in New York!) I think given my previous shopping spree(s), i think I did good (saving i mean, while it lasted..hehe). I am sooo determined to save (I have a quota, top somebody's bank account by December), but my friend(Anamie) just arrived and i had to bring her everywhere and I can't just watch her buy stuff...I have to have mine too. Hehe.

If you wanna stop shopping and you live in New York, I say, stay away from the city. Every street, every avenue, every subway stop, from uptown to downtown (Ooh...dont get me started with downtown) ...there's a new place to shop, to eat, to see...shopaholic's place of worship is never ending. What's amusing is, anywhere I go, MY place of worship is always just around the corner,Victorias Secret.

Amazingly enough, sometimes, you just cant think of anything amusing to buy . When you're not in the mood to buy a new bag, or a pair of shoes, or a pair of jeans, or a new set of lingerie (this is when hell freezes over...not wanting to buy lingerie will never gonna happen to me),..you walk around 5th avenue all day and end up back to the Penn Station waiting for your track number to come out of the screen, holding a dozen of Krispy Kremes just so you can say, you bought something from the city. That's when you think, Manhattan doesn't have enough shops anymore.

And then you realize, it's not Manhattan...it's you. When you almost missed your transfer train...or your LIRR stop, it's definitely you. You are soooo not in your right mind. Hehe. My friends think I'm weird coz i always..and can.. go to the city alone, they think I'm THAT shopaholic. But most of the time I just go in there to walk around and just be out. I guess it's the feeling of being free, and the fact that you're away from your house creates an illusion that you're away from your problems and away from your hurts. Walking around Time Square or Central Park is therapeutic for me. (and to some people too i guess, coz Manhattan is always filled with people from all places....tourists etc.)

(Stupidest amongst all stupidity though, I just purchased a stupidly expensive shades last week...when summer is about to end. Aaargh. I should have just asked Aileen to buy me one when I was in the Philippines, probably waaaay cheaper. Hmp. When you're trying to deprive yourself of something, in my case spending, i think you get a little impulsive when you decide to treat yourself after, right? Hay, kainis, no more shades for me for the next couple of years.)

Oh well, I cant wait for Zees and the rest of the EBCers and my other friends to come over. I know they will join me in my solitary walks and be with me as I visit my house of worship. I Love NY!
