I’m excited to spend the next two days (my rest days) at home. I’ve just been to NBS to use my GC and this is what I got - Memories of My Melancholy Whores by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
I honestly wanted to stick with my list, but NBS Robinson’s Galleria had a poor collection. I did find a copy of Kafka On The Shore, but it was hard bound and worth over P900. My GC was only worth P300 and I’m not prepared to shell out my own cash for Kafka. Maybe more like can’t really afford it.
Anyway, the book is really thin so I should be able to finish this quickly.
Oh, and I just found out that NBS doesn’t give you change if you don’t consume the full GC amount. I thought that these things are as good as cash. Starbucks gave me my ten peso change when I bought drinks using GCs. I’m not sure if this is a stupid policy or if I just dealt with a stupid cashier.
I’m thinking about what I want to save up for this month (month, hopefully, but I just may not be able to fulfill it in a month’s time).
Microwave oven roughly P3000
Kitchen Rack worth P1500

Adidas Badminton Shoes, proposed budget P2500, stretched budget P3200Happy Feet Limited Edition for only P1400
It may not look like a lot to some people, but P8400 to P9100 is not a small amount for me. I really hope to be better with my finances this 2007.
My goals:
Zero-out my credit card (just one - BPI)
Finish paying off my salary loans (Standard Chartered, HSBC and SSS)
Get life insurance and be able to maintain payment
Have more than just the maintaining balance in my bank account
Afford to pamper myself more this year
Hmm… The last one seems to be in conflict with all my other goals. Doesn’t matter. I’m up for this challenge.

Just to update you and let you know that I am serious with these goals:
I am 3K away from zeroing out my BPI credit card. But I am sort of cheating because I've been using Denver's credit card so I’m in debt to him instead (P 10,500 as of tonight, darn it).
I am done paying off my HSBC and Standard Chartered Loans, so I am 5K richer every month.
Getting life insurance or a retirement plan is still part of my goals. Just wait.
As for my bank account, I swear this will grow, I just need to deal with the debts first.
Pampering myself? Oh yes. Ü
My motivation for coming to work on time is knowing that I will be paid full for the day, which translates to more shopping money.
