Saving while shopping

May 18th, 2007 at 09:14 pm

I went shopping for things to match with my prom dress. I found a good push up bra for 35$ but turned out it was 50% off!! I got 17.50$ off (round it up to 18$)!! I'm so happy! I just saved some money.

I didn't really want to buy it at first because it was expensive but luck was by my side and it was on sale this week.

I went to Winners and I found a really nice t-shirt top for 16.99$, I was relucted to buy it because I wasn't sure if it will be worth it and in the end, I was like : I'll wait till I lose weight then I'll think about it. I'm going to put 2$ for avoid buy.

And... I tried the bra with my dress and it looks really nice. I actually have a curvy shape instead of a pear shape. I need to lose weight on the tummy area though, it goes bad with my dress. >.

Got 10$ back on wednesday and...

For my challenge money, I got 10$ back from a friend who borrowed from me for his prom ticket. I did not spend any money today (1$) and I brought my own lunch (4$).

Total : 1478$

I'm not going to write anything special for a little while. I'll be quite busy with my studies and I have to rethink of a way to make my challenge money fun again.

New ways of saving money will be coming soon... Probably around June time. Not sure yet. I will try to update my challenge money from time to time until I find a way to make it more funner.

Adding up the money

May 15th, 2007 at 09:04 pm

Today, I got 5$ back from a friend and I finish my homework today (1$)

New total : 1463$

I forgot to...

#1 : add money on my challenge money this May. Like my dog expense (20$), my tips money (15$), Yesterday saving, I cleaned the bathroom (1$) and on Friday, I got my economie mark 93% (1$).

Total saved : 1457$

#2 : Tell you guys that I'm currently dating a guy. Well I don't know if I should consider him my boyfriend. I don't feel right at all being in a relationship and I don't think he's my idea guy. Well he is goodlooking =P and he is fun to be with. Make a good guy friend I guess. He is an ambitious guy like me and he own a restaurant (he works everyday) and he is 4 years older than me. What's good about him is that he's not always by my side, so I feel a lot more independant and I'm not impatient to see him. I'm around the same height as him which make me quite uncomfortable. I feel like unsafe around him because he's not taller than me lol.

#3 : start on my math homework. Exam is coming up next week. Hehe... Anyways. Gotta start now before work byebye.

A critical look at my spending

May 13th, 2007 at 09:24 am

I spend a lot of money on food mostly. From what I see in my notebook on spending, food is my main problem. I did write my spending on day to day but my computer erased what I wrote 2 min ago and I'm pissed. >.

A little review at my challenge

May 12th, 2007 at 02:10 pm

Total : 1420$

I'll add today savings tonight. By the way, I spend today like the other days. I bought flowers from the shop near my house for mother's day. There's not many flowers and it costed me 23.40$. =/ I know I have been spending a little crazy these days... I thought about what had happened in my family and I told myself that it might cheer my mom in some way. Well I'll post another blog to show you guys how I spend this May. I'm getting into my old ways again... *sigh*

Here's a picture of my flowers from my new camera (I'm going to return it somewhere next week, quality of the pictures is good but the zoom is bad).



A look at my room (Quite messy) :



I love taking pictures... I got the batteries one but it doesn't last long compare to rechargeable one... But since I'm going to carry everywhere with me, might as well choose one with batteries.

A bonus picture for you guys. Me!














































A picture of my hair and clothes. =P Now you know how I look like.

Been awhile

May 12th, 2007 at 09:03 am

I haven't blog here for a little while. I was so busy with studies in such these last two weeks and I finally got my exams schedule for the mid-June final exams. I have about 4 days of exam and I'm done! guess what? I have no exam on my birthday.... June 20th =P

I spend money this week for my news report presentation and I didn't do well yesterday. I was reading through my notes because I was so nervous... I kinda shake. Ah well... I did 5 min and it's alright I guess. I'll add my saving report tonight.

First blog of May

May 4th, 2007 at 02:03 pm

It's FRIDAY!! This week is over and so is my writting production. I think I ruined it again. I took too much of my time trying to come up with good sentences... I will have to redo the writting exam in August if I failed. If luck is on my side, then I'll pass which I doubt it will happen. After the exam which was yesterday, I couldn't concentrate on my other classes. Everyone was dead tired from the three hours exam.

Today, I got two exams. One in French and the other in English. The French exam was about a book that I just finished reading yesterday ; Devil & Angel from Dan Brown before I go to sleep. It took me three hours to finish 200 pages. I told myself that I won't sleep until I finish it.

Well at the 1st and 2nd May, I didn't put any money in my challenge money. Oh yeah I forgot, I brought my lunch with me yesterday so I saved (4$) and today, I didn't spend any money and I brought my lunch (4$).

Total save : 1409$
