"Hello, I am Chen. I'm a SHOPAHOLIC!". Well, it's so true! I really am! I can relate so much to the movie that stars, Isla Fisher! I do have Rebecca Bloomwood in me! And just like her, I'm also stuck in debts caused by the "magic cards"!
But the movie did me a wake up call. And now, I'm trying to turn my life around! I'm gradually paying off my credit card bills and trying to save money as much as I can.
For years, I've been spending my money on clothes, designer perfumes, shoes, bags and accessories of all sorts... simply because I love fashion! Been socializing so much that makes me spend money instead of just staying at home and sleep... Not to mention the thousands of pesos I've been spending loading credits to my SMART and Globe prepaid cellphones and paying the bills of my postpaid SUN! I always say "No, money!" to my mom and other family members every time they ask me for a penny to spend at home and on needs! I've been living the lifestyle I myself cannot afford! Well, doesn't that make me a SHOPAHOLIC? Or the word isn't enough to describe me but SOCIAL CLIMBING SHOPAHOLIC fits better?!
As I try my best to change my life, I've realized that there are ways for me to have "nice" things without spending much. I will not turn myself into "The Girl in a Green Scarf" by giving pieces of advice on how to handle credit when I myself is in debt up to my eyes! I am into making myself satisfied with thrift things without jeopardizing my impeccable fashion sense!(Chuckles!)
Well, guys, wish me the best of luck!
