The day that keeps on giving
Thanksgiving is coming and my dad is coming home. Even though it was only for three weeks and I normally don't see my dad all that much, I did miss my dad. Glad it wasn't longer than that. If he stayed till Dec 5, I think I could have managed though ^_-.
Today my co-workers and I ate at a restaurant for Thanksgiving. The one who used to plan the parties at our department now works for the weather bureau, so the guys got lazy and decided to eat out instead. My co-worker who's been so kind to lend me so many books also treated me for lunch. (thank you Mike =D). Everyone at work always babys me I guess cause I'm pretty much as old as their kids. I'm pretty lucky.
Tomorrow I'll be in Moorpark celebrating Thanksgiving with my cousins. I guess we're going to check out the new Simi Valley Mall. I hope we get to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I really want to see that one. I doubt it though. Oh well.
As the holidays are creeping up, I know everyone is kind of tight on their budgets right now including me. I can't seem to save past a certain mark. I think I'm going to tell my mom to really not give me any presents this year. I tell her that every year but she always seems to buy me something anyway -_-. I won't be stiffing my family for presents, but they certainly won't be any thing huge as I would have wanted. I'm putting a cap to my spending this year. I've already blown a good number of dollars on Kimi Wa Petto. I really want the DVD, but it's at Y19800 or something, roughly $164 for the dvd box set. It's pretty rare and they only have it at YesAsia and Amazon Japan. I opted to get the manga instead and the OST. Now it might seem crazy of me to do, but I rarely do buy anything for myself. I rarely find anything worth buying. But this time, it's something I really really want. My mother always told me that if you find something you feel that strongly about having and you can afford it, then get it before you regret it. My mother says that it's bad to always downplay your desires and never givein to indugences cause it's not like you do it very often. Lately I've been feeling somewhat guilty because I've been indulging more than I have ever in my life. I guess that makes sense since I have money to spend now. However, with everything I spend, I make it a point to compromise and not buy other things to even it out. So after this is over, I'm certainly not making any more lavish purchases. The last thing will probably be the Kimi Wa Petto DVD and a region free DVD. Oh wait and a present for my mom and dad for their silver wedding anniversary...my sister's birthday, brother's birthday, dad's birthday, friend's birthday T_T...it never ends. I'll figure it out. More overtime? X\. Oh well it's better to give than receive afterall. It's okay ^_^. I give thanks for I am truly blessed!
Oh yeah and before I leave...
HAPPY Thanksgiving!!!
To all my friends out there, I miss you guys ^_^
