What does your horoscope say about your spending habit?




I have always been crazy with looking at horoscopes, if you haven't noticed. There's a popular famous woman in Taiwan who talks about Horoscopes. (Super accurate, yup). So for the episode airing in Taiwan today, I've sorta translated to English to let everyone get an idea if you are on the listed. This is strictly for entertainment purposes, not to be used for anything else. 

Top 3 worst Horoscopes who will go CRAZY shopping:

1. Scorpio- They live in their own little world, will earn enough money. They will set aside a pool of money for retirement/pension and etc. With the remaining, they will spend it. They don’t like to be ripped off. Earn enough, and then spend.

2. 
Aries- They will buy, then regret. They are unstoppable.

Capricorn- They love to buy. They do homework. They probably don’t have enough money or it is buy 2 get 1 free. They will encourage you to buy.

3. 
Libra- They don’t give good advice because they are busy looking at something else. They mostly encourage their friends to make purchases that probably aren’t the best. Indecisive.  

Taurus- They will lavishly spend in their own little world. They keep it within their budget. Whatever they like to buy, they will continue to buy them. 


Thank god I am not IN THERE! I am cancer, by the way. I am part of the Cardinal Sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), who lavishly spends but comes up with excuses. 

I don't think its really accurate because I've always saved up money and end up starving. But my pocket is never empty! It is pretty extreme to the point where my mom (Taurus) who needs to persuades me in order to make a purchase.

Does this apply to you?

Spring: A fresh new cut

Got a haircut. Oh yah.

Before I've always thought that a haircut is my least favorite thing to do. 

I mean, I don't "dislike" my hair. It does have its perks:
1. spending longer in the bathroom
2. good excuse for vaccuming more often
3. takes the attention from your face (especially when those Zits come)
4. get creative with styling/braiding/stuff like that

But then again, there's the downfalls:
1. too heavy
2. too much
3. gets dry (the sand from beach volleyball pretty much sucks up all the water in your body, major dehydration!)
4. takes too long to style
5. looks hideous if left un-brushed

So I finally took time off my lazy schedule and went to get a cut. 
Its a nice way to celebrate season change with all the beautiful things in mother nature! 
Funny when I browse the friends list on my facebook, almost everyone have long hair.
Seems like there's a long hair trend going on, or maybe its the convenience. 
Because after a while, your hair doesn't grow "longer", it goes "thicker". 
Scary thought!

PS. Love how the bright sunshine illuminates my entire room! =)

Gift Card Nightmare

I have lost my Winner's Giftcard... and have been looking for it for WEEKS. Turned my bedroom upside down 4 times and still couldn't find it. Will do a fifth search (my bed hasn't moved an inch yet) later on. 

Any who, so the giftcard I am referring to is the $500 Bookstore Giftcard, a gift from my first co-op at Terasen Gas (now Fortis BC). So somehow I was looking through news articles online and lightning strike me! Having realized the existence of my GiftCard, I was in panic mode last night. The back of the card said its only good for one year, and its been close to an year since my co-op. 

I was worrying sick about it because there's about $200 left in there and I imagine collapsing if the cashier told me the card has expired. No appetite for food, homework, anything. I was having difficulties focusing on other things (super crazy!). So that night, part of my dream (mind you I have up to 5 different dreams per night, and they are mostly action thrillers) was going to the bookstore and asking for the expiry date at the cashier. The moment she said it expired, I immediately broke down, my face filled with tears from anguish. 

Woke up with swollen eyes (eww), and told my mom if she can help me spend it (I have work that morning and a group paper to finish). I went, and surprisingly the lady at the front desk said there's NO EXPIRY DATE! Super happy, told mom to spend on whatever and I left.

Little did I know she spent it ALL on my school branded CLOTHES! Like I can get those for free, and she spends 150+ on them!!!! I was super shocked and super pissed off. But I couldn't take it out because I didn't specify in the first place. But spending this money to promote my school's brand is BEYOND RIDICULOUS! I don't know, I feel like spending $200 in Metrotown (in the Bay) or something to compensate for my built-up stressed, "not worth it", super unhappy mood now.... >=(

Day 6: Walking in Heels!

 

Day 6 marks my last day being a fb-free freak! So last night, I saw one of Wendy's (super hilarious woman!) you-tube clips about walking in heels & stilettos.

I had been, or I was told to be a tomboy all my life. I hated anything to do with heels, runners were MY thing. There's always a store nearby, in the mall or at any location, its extremely comfortable. They protect your feet to avoid injuries, and it doesn't take long to try out (15minutes max!) Price is reasonable, many designs.

Soon after choosing to major in business, its becoming a "need" to wear heels. I wish they did the men's shoes, with "just for the ladies" designs ;) Sadly not, so I started with the kitten heels. It seemed like bearable, so I skipped the wedges and went right to these:




Its not the "easiest" pair of shoes to walk in. But I survived 10 minutes with them today. Practice makes perfect! 

Here's Wendy's inspiring video: the art of ladies in heels :)
