On Being Poor - La Dolce Vita

I am officially bankrupt. I went to the mall today after my mom asked me to pick up a few things and before I headed to do my errands, I strolled around a bit. It sucks when there’s a lot of good buys around you but you’ve got no moolah to spare. Sometimes, I think my fate’s going against me ‘coz everytime I go window shopping and I had extra money to spare for my needless luxuries, there’s nothing good on the shelf. And when I finally have the urge to buy, I find myself hanging on the edge of bankruptcy. I suddenly remember that line from ebay Philippines which I read a few years back. It was from an interview of one of the successful netrepreneurs who found her niche in ebay. She urged people to look around their homes and sell stuff they don’t need. Guess what. I tried to do that and found a handful of stuff I don’t even touch – and a lot of goodies that I have in multiple numbers. Take for example these MP3 players that I own. One is a green iPod shuffle I named “Kaiser” which I won from the FRIC raffle in November. The other is an unopened pink iPod shuffle which my mom gave me for Christmas. Funny how I used to want one and now I have two, so, I’m highly considering putting one up for auction in ebay. Well, that is if my heart’s ready to see “Kaiser” in the loving arms of another person. Yes. I am such an emotional bitch.

Good issues?I would word that as any person who actually doesn’t write on blogs much (in truth, this can be my first submit), I don’t suppose the term ‘lurker’ is very turning into to a non-posting reader. It’s no longer your fault in the least , however possibly the blogosphere may just come up with a better, non-creepy identify for the ninety% people that experience studying the content .
