You Are What You Wear

I love shopping. But there is such things as too much. Funny coming from me though right?

Anyways, today was Saturday. I don't really do anything special on weekends. Just the usual bits and stuff. Me, my mom and my dad went to Albrook mall to go see my contact lenses. Yay! No more glasses!! When we got to Optica Lopez I tried on contact lenses and everything seemed so clear!! I was ready to buy them straight away-too bad they didn't have any in stock. My dad promised to pick them up on his way back from the airport (he was going to Miami.). I agreed even though there was a small pile of disappointment piling inside me. I saw the $100 in my dad's hand and the disappointment turned to guilt. I went into Steven's and tried on some shoes. My mom kept insisting on getting a pair of pink shoes, a pair of black shoes and so on. I rolled my eyes and took a random pair of white flats which were super cute. But they didn't have a size for me. Later, we went into Pepe Jeans and I skimmed half-heartily through a rack of clothes not really wanting to waste anymore money.

"Are you even looking Mari?" my mom said sharply after our 5Th shop. I nodded enthusiastically, trying to convince her I was having the best day ever. It was my idea to continue shopping after my mom saw my list of Desperate Needs. I was so sick and tired of T-shirts and jeans. It made me feel boring and plain. I wanted to get something more cool and something eye-catching.

After I was so tired of looking through shops, my eyes caught a glimpse of a pretty jewerlly store with crystal neckalces and diamond rings. We went inside and I tried to convince my parents that I should use my $60 (from my Happy New Year money) they refused to let me waste it on something they thought I will grow out of. I sighed and we went to go pick up my sister at Multi Plaza, where she was watching Shutter Island with her friend.

We got to Multi Plaza and I wave of relief washed over me. Did I mention I hate Albrook Mall? I rather go to Multi Plaza. Anyways, I begged to got to Mango but everyone was hungry so we side-stepped Mango and went to Tony Roma's. Then, we side-stepped Mango again and went to go buy my sister's lunch box. (She lost her lunch box, I mean who loses a lunch box???) After that, we side-stepped Mango again and went food shopping at Riba Smiths. Then, they forgot about Mango all together and went off to Payless. Great. I didn't buy anything special (let's not bring my contact lenses into this).
