An “impulsive buyer”. That is what my sisters and friends call me since I have a habit of buying almost everything I like in a shop even if I don’t need them at all. I don’t really care what they call me as long as I’m happy with it.
I just can’t leave a day without peeping inside my favorite shops in the mall. It has become my hobby to drop by the nearest mall just to see all the stuff I adore. It feels really good whenever I’m inside a big mall while holding lots and lots of things or even just looking at them. My mom and dad knows me well. When I feel like I’ll get sick and restless they’ll just ask me out and I’ll be fine. My dad would say “I knew it, shopping is really the answer to your sickness” then they will both laugh. My sister even asked me to watched “Confession of a Shopaholic”. She’s trying to teach me a lesson that sometimes I’ m getting too much. Well, the more I loved it so. I shop for shopping’s sake and just as what Tammy Bakker would say, “shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist”.
Nice Blog you have here!
I agree with you, I’m a shopaholic too!
I think its a girl thing actually,it feels really good knowing you have something new. But we should be cautious with our expenses. Moderation is the key, but its good to reward yourself sometimes.
Shopping is just part of our system as women. There are just more benefits to it that a normal guy could never comprehend. It’s synonymous to their working out–finding pleasure and satisfaction at every sweat their bodies take off–although yes, it needs moderation because it might leave you empty-handed at the end of the day
This is soooo true! just today i bought a bag that i didnt really need, not afford for that matter.. but it was just calling to me! waaaaah!!! i really need therapy.. hmp..
Yes.. shopping is fun!
Just be wise in using the plastic money!
I for one is an impulse buyer and yes, I am paying the price now.
gone are the days that i do impulsively buy stuff… and what’s funny is, now that i can afford to indulge, that’s when the itch is no longer scratch-able… but kudos to you for having the impulse to buy… it just makes being a girl more girly…
hey there, love this entry. i, too, have a penchant for shopping and i sooo agree when you said that it could be a remedy to any kind of sickness or forms of depression. Indeed, who needs the expensive services of psychiatrists when you can delve into shopping instead ;p…
yeah! i really love SHOPPING! Best therapy ever…

i agree that shopping is indeed therapeutic..but one must not spend over their budget and get into deep financial trouble, spending well above their income.
