My new year's resolution is to minimize or even stop shopping. I think I've been pretty good and the last time I bought something for myself was still in January when everything was on sale. Matt thinks it's funny that I really have to resist myself whenever we go to the mall. I'm telling you it's so tempting every weekend especially since 3rd Street Promenade is just walking distance to Matt's place.
It's depressing that everytime I am in my car and tuning in to NPR, they always talk about the recession and how US might be in this state already but it also helps me fulfill my resolution since they always say that sales of the malls/retails have dropped significantly. That means I am not the only one doing this. It's actually sad everytime I walk to the mall and even around my area to notice that a lot of shops have closed already and are still closing. I also heard that even big stores like Anne Taylor, JC Penny and even Macy's are reducing theirs numbers of stores. Awww, I hope the economy gets better soon but I also hope that would not stop me from my "shopping no more" mindset.
I know most men would not understand this but it seems like women and shopping are inseparable... and this is equivalent to men and basketball or men and game consoles but there is always an exception. With my goals all set, I can definitely achieve this. They say it only takes 21 days to form a habit and I'm way past that and not shopping becomes one of my habits now.

Just like my blog title, I write whatever stuff I want to write. It may come from the heart, mind, experiences and any other things I think of. This is just me being me, human and real!
