Never exercise frugality on Investments!

ironically, due to my extreme exercise to frugality, i have resorted myself, involuntarily, to spend more than what is expected.

we went to powerbooks since it was "SALE" but was still hoping that i could get a book below P300. lucky i was, there wasn't. thru glorietta, we've been to a book sale and blinding light came shining for a "cheap" book... found some interesting and great catch novels. silence of the lambs and hannibal. two of thomas harris' great pieces. missing was red dragon though. anyway, to utmost surprise of having a bargain, i grabbed those two hastily.. with first glance on prices -- Silence at P55 and Hannibal at P20.. again? Hannibal at P20? that sure was ultimate deal! happy and excited as i was when i got to the cashier, buday noticed that the receipt has been scribbled with P175! wtf? that supposedly-twenty-peso-worth-of-a-book was a hundred more!!! daym that S-A-L-E green marks almost concealing that hundreds place worth! blushing into deep humiliation, i was forced to take out another bill from my oh-so-harassed wallet of mine leaving it with enough funds to take me home. what did i do to the books? i gave them both to buday and served as a gift for her august22 birthday. i'll be frustrated reading those anyway. harhar. but i will someday.. after she finishes them both. afterall, i still have two pending to relish. *sweet-lemoning* and oh, she promised me she'll buy me the "Shopaholic".. hehe. assuring me of that feel-good-book:) i'm looking forward to it. and looking forward to someone else giving me the sequel book. manhattan or sister that is?

lesson learned... go figure.

that's why they're called "investments".
