“Nothing Beats the fun of shopping and dining” that’s the opening line of Indonesian online news portal in one of the advertisement articles. That kind of struck me right at my stomach..
What happen is that I have a feeling that I spend too much lately. Nothing new though unfortunately, but when it felt like something is not right (since when spending too much is right dear...) I’d better do something.
So I began with updating my expense report and scrutinize my bills which were not thrown out. Apart from my claims, when I was scanning my own bills, my stomach again pinched. I always assume that I spend fair of amount in each month. Or at least compensate major disbursement with lower spending at the following month. But seems that is not happening. Dresses, Accessories, Shoes, Any other type of clothes, Gifts, Bedding, kitchen stuff, cutlery, dishes, home decoration, flexes, shawl, dining, you name it! Those are all right, some of them are even claimable, but my buying pattern is the worry.
Week by week every month.. that’s scary! I remember in one of TV talk show, people who don’t have any spending plan, who just bought what they like are the most likely who got into deep financial mess!!! Gosh… and I see my self when I went through the dates of the bills.. There’s always excuses.. need.. wants… Yes, I haven’t reached that level of exclusive brand addict, but I just found out that avoiding single major amount is how I justify my spending habit. Doesn’t feel right if I come home with empty handed from whatever place which sells goods! Sick! The urge to buy is something beyond the consciousness lately … hate to say it, but I am after the sensation of having new stuff. Even though I consciously watch my self not to reach the stage where I would have un open shopping bags for days or weeks.. that will be a final terminal sign of this disease !
Damn… My name is Alina and I’m that close to shopaholic.. I AM NOT THERE YET!
Btw, today I visited one of other Indonesian fellow house for a serious feast by the beach located out of town. In addition to the fact that the house was more to a resort where you can just open your common room towards the garden by unpolluted beach, the house is very intelligently decorated. This week theme is Arabic I suppose, lots of Syrian, Morrocan, Jordan, Kuwait and Indian antiques, wall hanging, comfortable and nice carpets are blended into a perfect harmony. And my blood has that pulse urging for hunting that antiques… help…………………… (hmm I might need to check with personnel for second year utilities allowance hahaha)
