Visiting luxury online websites makes me wanna say "wow, why is this bag so expensive. Is it because of the quality?". Oh please, I can find the same exact bag in a cheaper price. I won't deny the fact I have taste for luxury goods, I have many Coach bags for every occassion (one is for school; my gold tote). Other than that, I have my tech stuff which I don't know if its luxury or not? Wait.. Sony is a luxury good because of the price and quality. So yeah, I own a Sony Vaio TZ. My cellphone is an iPhone 3G and its "luxurious" on its own way. I use it everyday from scheduling to reading newspapers (aka my LIFE).
While browsing to some luxury goods online I always ask myself, "do I really need this, if so, where and why?" Few hours ago I finalize my decision not to purchase an iPhone 3GS because I don't really need it. I have an iPhone 3G and its exactly the same except for the video, speed, and punch of stuff. If there is something I need to do and my iPhone 3G cannot provide it then its time for me to buy an iPhone 3GS.
My number one goal this summer is to save money. I am happy to say I achieve (and still) my goal. I'm the kind of person who saves money than use on something I regret afterwards. It is not a joke to save money especially if you really want that item for pleasure. So, all I do is ask or tell myself, "do I really need this?" and "this item is the cost of my books, food, etc". It works all the time.
Out with luxury goods for now because my goal is to save. Maybe someday if I have all the things I need in life.

Typing this at 3:41am makes me sleepy and my head hurts randomly. Oh well, it's summer so sleeping really late is no problem.
Since Spring 2009 ended, I been sleeping late for no reasons. I don't know, maybe its my nature to not sleep early because I have no priorities the following day or simply.. I am not sleepy. Haha. Oh well, as long as it doesn't interfere with my daily activities I have no problem with it. Summer is simple and relaxing for the past weeks because I regularly stay at home; surfing the net in my room. Besides, I don't want to go outside much because I'm afraid I will spend something I don't need.. Umm, planning to buy this bag soon for my Fall 2009 semester. When it comes to bag, I regularly go to my mother to ask what is the best branded bag she could recommend me and her answer is always this. It's probably because she owns some bag and (not or) adores it so much. Do not worry mommy, even I adore it.
With recession and all, I have to save money so.. the "branded" side of me needs to shut down. As if, I am right? When it comes to stuff I always go with simple yet elegant designs. I buy branded stuff but not that expensive comparing to my mother's bags.
This summer my priority is to save as much as I can. That's why tomorrow I am heading to the bank to check my balance and do some transactions. I am a wise banker like my father. Hehe. My father actually told me I am a weak spender but a strong saver because I only buy stuffs I need. I agree, that's why this bag needs to say bye-bye to my debit card and me because I am not buying it. Argh! Who needs a bag since I already have one that is more simple and elegant. The bag I used for Spring 2009 is the only bag I will use this coming Fall 2009. Haha, let's see if I can stand by with my "bag" decision. HOWEVER, I also believe that if you have money why not buy it. But I guess it only applies to someone who really has a lot of money to spend and CAN get/earn it back in a month or so.
Oh well, at least my TOP priority this summer is to SAVE MONEY!

Summer is a good season to create/be with my comfort zone. I don't need to wake up in the morning, get ready for college, schedule things, etc etc etc. All I have to do is.. Wake up, watch television, use my laptop, and relax. I am now officially in my comfort zone. But, its just temporary because this week I have an internship and commitments.
I also need to read a book to gain knowledge about my financial life, haha. Probably read it after my internship. I actually start reading few pages during my college life but stop because I have final examinations. So, now its a time to schedule my reading commitments. Also, also.. MAY is a an important month in my life because its my father's birthday!. Wohoo, thanks father for everything! We LOVE you. Whatever my gift for him, it's a private matter. Haha.
Anyways, going back to "Comfort Zone". I feel so relax being in my yellowish room because I can do whatever I want without interferance. No college class telling me to dress up and get ready. Wohoo, I can walk around with my pajama and noone will care.
As of now, I am happy with my "Comfort Zone"

It's officially Summer! Wohoo!
Even fun is just around the corner, I still have work to do such as internship, volunteering, and commitments. Like yesterday, I officially accepted the position of "Environmental Director" in Clean World Movement. I was accepted last month but couldn't take the commitment because of college work. Now, I am ready to take this challenge! As of now, I am trying to contact fellow Environmental Directors in Las Vegas so we can organize things as a group (which is a lot better!). My internship is doing great! It's nice to see everybody after missing three weeks (once a week) work. I hope the Intern Party will push through so I can meet follow Interns. Volunteering? I emailed back a women's rights movement and hopefully.. Be able to volunteer there.
Let's see. This is only DAY ONE of Summer so whatever happens,I hope for the best.
Take Care

Tomorrow and this weekend is about studying. Gosh, I need to schedule my study sessions after typing this entry.
My PSC302 friends want to schedule a weekend study session so I will be in the college's library either Saturday or Sunday. They are the best. I won't survive the whole semester without them because they entertain me with laughter and jokes. You know who you are. My PSC302 teacher also announced this afternoon that there will be another study session on Monday Night. I am soo going! Believe it or not, majority of us are coming.. Hehe. The final seems hard because she gave us a lot of terms. Good thing I'm done with my Porfolio (which counts also for our final grade). Tomorrow, I am schedule to finish my PUA241 assignments (which are A LOT) and concentrate what topic I have to write for my final examination. GEOL120 seems to be easy becaue our examination only covers ONE topic and previous test questions. Thank you. My PHIL225 professor announced this evening that everyone will get an A or a B but he didn't discuss how and who(?). I have faith in him when it comes to grade since he was my PHIL124 professor last semester. DAN104 seems to be easy too because its all about "dance". Common-sense is the key.
PS: I have to sleep early so I can study early. Good luck UNLV students!
