New Year, new opportunities...

It's been said that it's been a while since I last blogged...

Many things have happened since I last blogged too....

1. I went for lasik... Vision's satisfactory though not perfect on my left. However, I'm loving the convenience of it all and somehow, being without glasses makes me feel less inhibited outwardly. It sure feels like I've been hiding behind a facade all the years that I wore glasses... Weird but it's sure how I felt to a certain extent...

2. Emotionally, I've been on roller coaster ride. Until very recently things have cleared up alot and I've got one special person to thank. It's not easy (understatement) but I appreciate all that he is trying to do...

3. My birthday, Christmas and New Year came and went. The festive season wasn't particularly eventful, but I've been blessed with many close friends and family, loved ones, whose little efforts here and there made a world of difference to me this year. The gatherings, the meet-ups and the time spent together... I felt the balance of the negative and the positive... the balance of the yin & the yang...

4. There's a new beginning again for me... I sure hope (to my utmost effort), that I'm there to stay... for a period that's longer than those I've been through in my various stints the last few years... I'm gonna be positive about it... and hang tough. The economy's not going to be very stable in the couple of years to come I would say, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed, and moving on ahead positively, with caution... =s ---> The usual me who's so deeply entrenched and rooted in reality... =)

5. After spending only on others in December... I finally went berserk and went on a spree this month!!!!!!!!!!! It's kinda disgusting... but it also reflects in a way how the clouds have lifted to a certain extend and I am back to looking at more frivolous stuff! =P (Women will be women... don't you agree? )

List of things I've INDULGED & bought for myself since December:
- Blue eye shadow
- x3 different types of mascara
- x3 pairs of patent shoes!!!!!!! (note the !!!!!!!!!!... for some weird reason, I'm so into patent shoes now!!)
- x2 bags
- x1 belly jewel
- x2 Botls of nail polish
- x5 dresses (Casuals and for work too... For CNY too laaa.....)
- x2 tops (1 prim and proper working top and 1 tube)
- x1 skirt
- x2 suits (1 in dark brown, and 1 in black)
- x1 sleepwear
- x2 pairs of earrings
- Some personal items...

However, I would like to insist that all my buys are reasonably priced and therefore, everything came under $700. I would LOVE to say that splurges and sprees like this happens effectively ONCE a year for me... usually at year end or beginning of the year... And I would say the same for this year... Just that I've lined up a BKK trip during end Jan.... (not that I don't shop any other time, just NEVER so many items in a month!!!)

Arghhh.... Lol Lol... Control mode on!!! =) But that doesn't mean I'm going to restrict myself that much in BKK.... afterall, I'm already flying all the way there! =)

Can't wait to check out Platinum and the usual places... Heard from Grace that one can surely dig out some good buys...

On another note, stopped reading for a while after I did my lasik so as not to strain my eyes... However, I have got 5 books lined up waiting for me to consume at home! Arhhh..... Shall start soon! =)
