Secretss

I lost my pencil box . I left it in a lecture hall two weeks ago on Friday. I was excited about the end of school and my boyfriend asked me out (:P) so I wasn’t really paying attention when packing my bag. I half-heartedly tried to retrieve it but there’s no lost and found bin/place/thing, so..

I went stationery shopping today! I had to go anyway to replace my lost stuff. My friend has a hobby of shopping for stationery, and she has a point, it was fun! … Actually, it wasn’t that much fun. Also, when the receipt comes up to $83.70 and your mom is shopping with you….

My mom paid for everything.

Two reasons I don’t like shopping with my mom:
Number 1: She insists on paying, and let’s just accept for the sake of avoiding an explanation that I can never change her mind if she decides to pay.
Number 2: Her shopping principles disagree with my shopping habits.

One thing is that I can really spend a lot. It’s not that I buy a lot of junk.. *boyfriend’s voice in my head: yeah, right.* Mmm. Well whatever . I don’t like my mom spending her money on things that I want when she already gives me allowance every month which is meant for me to spend on things that I want.

And I can be really fussy about my stationery.

See, I only use one brand of pen (black or purple ink), and the tips must be 0.28mm in diameter. Each of these pens cost $1.90 and I buy five at a go.

I only use one type of pencil, and it’s a mechanical one that costs $7.00 and its tip is 0.30. My default pencil lead preference is 3B, but there is no 3B lead available at 0.3 so I make do with 2B. A pack of my pencil leads of choice cost $2.40.

My ruler costs $2.50 and looks like this:

It has to be transparent and have guiding lines on the body for precision.

And then there was the printer ink. I tend to binge on printer ink so I grabbed 6 packets of them at $10.70 each.

I took all that stuff because I thought I was paying, but when we reached the counter she suddenly took out her purse and said she was gonna pay! D: And the total turned out to be $83.70! Oh my god! I feel so guilty.

And when we were leaving, she commented on the way I shopped -_-. Next time I’m promise I’m only shopping when she’s not with me.
