For one good day

what constitutes a "right" decision when it is not only causing yourself, but the person you loved so much pain? this is the thought that i've been struggling with for the past month, hell of a month. i felt it was truly unfair to him when he so wanted to marry me in the near future but i can't imagine spending the rest of our lives together. i don't trust myself because i know i will hurt him again, its just a matter of time. mostly, there is no when, or why, or how, but i realized that i fell out of love long time ago. the funny thing is, people can be so self-righteous. when you are the one doing the dirty deed, people will automatically take the opposite side, telling you what you ought to be doing, when really what you should be doing is to tell them to mind their own bloody business. i'm not exactly getting good deal here. he was my best friend and boyfriend for more than 6 years. it took a lot of strength to end this relationship because i know that we ...

The frugal woman

sorry about the temporary lockdown, i was suppose to be working on a new layout in conjunction with the new URL, but as usual nothing ever gets done because the author is easily distracted. and boy, does she gets distracted by shopping lately. so i woke up the day after my birthday, realizing with a shock that my credit card payment is due tomorrow. wouldn't it be great if banks can provide gift vouchers for well-meaning friends who can't decide what to give as a birthday present, so that they could help pay their friend's bills? i definitely would not mind receiving those "gift vouchers" :D back to the story, it wasn't that much of a hassle to begin with, i would usually just go online and do an interbank money transfer. but that service would cost 2 bucks, i mean, 2 bloody bucks per month to the bank for doing practically nothing! since i didn't have plans this afternoon, i could easily save 2 bucks by driving to the bank and deposit the cash myself. and...
