I-I-I I just don't knowww

I FOUND MY WALLET!
Actually, the librarian at the Anthropology Library found it on the floor in the same level as the library. I was thinking before this that perhaps the librarian found the wallet, but it was more of a fancy you know, I never thought...

Anyway, I am reunited with my lovely wallet. Such a bummer though that I've already replaced most of the IDs in it and had to pay 530 pesos for everything. I actually just got a new school ID today.. Well I didn't know I was going to get my wallet back this afternoon so yeah.

Ok so there's this Starbucks year planner promo, I don't know if they have it in other countries. Basically you get a card you have to fill with 21 stickers (21 drinks) and then you get their enormous heavy planner for free. Now it's really just a bonus for you if you drink there alot but many people flock to Starbucks here during the Christmas season just so they can get the planner. So it's kind of like buying a Php3000 planner and getting 21 free drinks along the way.

Anyway my point is I've conned my sister into paying for half the price of every drink I buy. I'm not interested in the planner but I'm the one who buys the drinks. So for every drink I buy, I get a sticker, and she pays for half of my drink. Hmm I think it's quite brilliant. Until she realizes that it's not very fair... But I doubt that's going to dawn on her anytime soon :evil:

I don't buy at Starbucks lately though cos I mostly consume hot drinks. Even though I don't have a highly sophisticated espresso machine at home or something, I'm content with their beans and my cheap coffee maker with reuseable coffee filter (those reuseable filters may not be as efficient but they're awesome for me nonetheless). It's much cheaper that way. In fact I'm thinking of just buying a bottle of orange/valencia syrup so I don't have to order orange mochaccinos there anymore. Brewed coffee + orange syrup. I'm easily pleased.

The orange mocha frappucinnos (yeah, Ross O'Caroll-Kelley roysh!!) are a bit of a problem though, I don't know how I'm going to achieve that at home. I might need an electric ice shaver or something for the ice.

But then again what do I do with the money I save from drinking coffee at home? Use it again to buy coffee or tea outside probably. I have this mentality about why save ridiculous amounts of money when there's nothing in particular that you are saving up for. I mean, just spend the money. This half-unhinged from capitalism mentality should be a convenient reason to blame should I end up bankrupt in the future. (But overspending is another issue so...)

But I'm not one to save for, say, an iBook or a nice mp3 player (I want a Zune :() cos at this point in time I'll just get bored stashing away money for that... it will take a loooooong time. A trip to Singapore is very doable though. I'm thinking whether I should buy tickets now and use it on February (It will only cost me Php288 w/o tax one way!). Dunno what I'll do there though. Just visit Dixi perhaps hahaha.

Haaaaaaah I've rambled enough. Nobody should've read this whole thing anyway :lol:

Ugh reminds me I haven't done yoga or anything, not even once this week. Something must be wrong.
