I’m such an impulse shopper.
Expensive things I’ve bought since I’ve come to Japan:
– Digital camera: spend 40 minutes looking through only ONE store while on vacation in Tokyo, before I even got my first paycheck.
— what happened: somehow the battery charger died on me and now if it’s in a good mood, I can charge my batteries.
– Electronic dictionary: Didn’t find anything interesting to do in Osaka so went into a Yodobashi and here we go.
— what happened: OK, first of all, I realized it’s stupid to buy a dictionary in Japan for studying Japanese b/c most of them are meant for Japanese people to study English and I can’t pronounce the kanji. Secondly, I made the mistake of sticking it in my coat which got checked at the door when we went clubbing after dinner in Sapporo, and the LCD screen got smashed.
– MD player: Well, basically I was too excited after the sun finally came out on the weekend, and decided to go bike riding to the electronics store and bought the prettiest MD player.
— what happened: I think it really helps if I knew what an mini disc is and how to use it before I buy the damn thing, because I kinda realized that it’s not what I thought it was at all. @_@
And I’m not even going to go into detail about all the clothes I buy and can’t take home, candles and pretty things that really don’t do crap, food that I never got the chance to cook b4 they went bad, books and magazines that I never read… The list goes on. Think of how much money and space I could have saved if I just learn to think before I take out my wallet.
Hmm… I think it’s time to do some more packing. I can finally put away all my winter clothes! Soooo happy. I actually went out in a tank top today then realized everyone else was still wearing spring jackets and sweaters 😛
Oh yeah, things to be happy about this week:
It’s official, I’m going to Tokyo next month (actually in a week and half) to meet up with Sharon and Kristen! I’m sooooo excited to see some familiar faces again! ^_________^
While playing some 2 on 2 bball at my gym, I made 4 baskets during 4 rounds 😀 I think my bball skills have improved somewhat this year thanks to weekly practices.
I had set a goal to swim 3000 meters b4 I leave Japan some time back, and I just met it this week — 60 laps in 70 minutes. Don’t think it’s too bad consider I only swim once a week now.
Actually got a score of over 100 in bowling. I think that’s like the first time I ever did actually. That spiked up my interest in bowling, planning on doing some serious practicing one of these days 😉
Done with the traveling part of my Japan scrapbook (up until now anyway). And it looks absolutely fantastic!!! Honestly though. I’m so proud of myseld 🙂 🙂 Can’t wait to show people when I get home!
Friendships back to normal. Maybe?
