Happily Depressed

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

Contrasting/contradicting words in a title makes something interesting (for me, at least). This is how I’m currently feeling.

The former, is because I got a replacement for my damaged pants, and the latter is because I was once again lured in to purchasing yet another piece of clothing article from the same botique, just to match the replaced item.

I guess my plan to get a laptop will be postponed for next year. :-(
(unless I get a generous donor/sponsor for one)

Tot ziens!

Due to the excessive amount of what I’m feeling, I forgot to mention that the pair of pants I bought is damaged!

The saleslady packed the clothes I bought at a blink of an eye! I was getting cash from my wallet, and all of a sudden, they were already packed. I didn’t even have a chance to double check them.

Plus, another thing that annoyed me was their receipt. It’s not detailed.
They just wrote "3 items" and the TOTAL price.
No break down/itemized details.

GGRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Tot ziens!     (part 2; funny how I can still try to be funny during these moments)

The Power of Depression, a Dash of Frustration and Fury, and Pure Stupidity!

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

I don’t know where to start. This past few (around 3) weeks has been very depressing.
First, my dog died (2 weeks ago). He’s a Chihuahua (if you look at the my photo album, he’s the father. WTF?! Did I just say father? Yes. You’ll only know if you look at my photo gallery). I resorted to some shopping (bought a motherboard and new video card) the next week, to vent my depression.

A few days after shopping for those items, I found out that my OTHER dog died, also a Chihuaha (the mum; look at my photo gallery if you want to relate). I actually found out about that today, from a helper. He said that she died the other night. So, after my meeting in Glorietta, I resorted to extremely impromptu shopping! I bought a shirt, pants, and belt from Linea Uomoi was about to buy 3 shirts (one will be a gift, 2 for myself), but they didn’t have the sizes that I want, so I ended up with 1. I tried to fit 3 pair of jeans, and only liked 2, but the other one didn’t have my size, so it got scrapped off from my (imaginary)list. The belt was too loose, so I had it cut, but now it doesn’t look quite right after it was cut! But I suppose it adds up to being eccentric, OR SOMETHING.

I just arrived home a few hours ago, and vanity just struck and urged me to fit the stuff I bought earlier today. When I was about to fit the shirt I bought, I suddenly saw the security tag that they attach (to keep thieves sinning). The lady forgot to remove it! At first, I thought it was okay, but IT DOESN’T END THERE! I got a smaller size, from what I’ve ordered! It fitted me, though, but THAT’S NOT THE SIZE I WANT! (because my nipples are kind of being emphasized). I was supposed to get the NEXT BIGGER size (Large. I got medium).

Same thing happened with the pair of pants, although they’ve removed the security tag, the size was, again, an issue! I got a 48 (I asked for 2 numbers lower). Before you think of it, my WAIST LINE IS NOT 48"! I don’t know what this number measures, but that’s what it says on the tag: "Size 48".

The only thing they got right was the belt, although I couldn’t say that I’m a hundred percent happy with it.

I will go back to that store again today and ask for a replacement and compensation. If they don’t grant the latter, a refund. I will just purchase it from another branch closer to home.

I know, I should really discipline myself with my money. I’ve been contemplating on depositing it to my bank account when I had it (still have a few bucks left, but it’s not even half of what I originally had. I’m saving for a laptop), but just couldn’t squeeze it in to my schedule, and I was thinking of opening account in another bank that would meet my requirements.

GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tot ziens!
