another typical day in the office..

Me: (Banyan Tree Al Areen, Bahrain) is a dream vacation.

Colleague: but they don't have a liquor license!

before you misinterpret it, he's not calling me an alcoholic. he just happens to be someone who appreciates having alcohol around when he's on vacation. i do like having it around too. but i won't feel miserable without it. really. the crap that we churn out in office conversations is really quite entertaining.

i mean, how many people can complain to their friends that their friends at work are threatening to drown them in saliva? or to lick and nibble them to death?

anyway, met up with mouse today. she declared that i can no longer own a pair of pretty gold flats. i just buanged my 6-month pair after a run+walk that was less than 30 min. now the front is dislocated from the sole. the back ends of both sides look worse than the ends of my 5 year old levi's. maybe 'cos it's really not hardy since it's not a "durable" pair? i hear the varinas crying for me just as loud as the reventon is calling for me to engrave my name in siver on its black left butt cheek.

do i look like i have the resources to take a picture of the car or varinas by myself? btw, am i the only one here humming the batman tune when i see the car?

but anywayz, my spending is a bit out of hand. i know i got my increment and my bonus but really, i'm going a bit mad with my struggle with vanity. when you're not blessed with beauty and unwilling to go under the knife, you just try to maintain whatever is good, thus my unhealthy obsession with my complexion. it's already good enough. i'm just.. maintaining it?

pray for me. for wisdom to not splurge on fleeting vanity anymore. i've even drawn up a shopping list of things that i actually been wanting to get as replacements of items to be discarded. pray that i keep to it. really. sigh.
