Numbers
I am not good at it. Almost flanked Analytic Geometry during my 3rd year in high school. But I got a Best in Mathematics award back in Grade 1. Bleh!
Sets of numbers have been bugging me. No, I am not calculating some things using my mind. Money. And all it's derivatives. Dang.
Out of nowhere, I got home last Sunday with 3 new shorts which I got from a mall that I pass by before going home. I was suppose to treat myself for a monster ice cream (?) from a fast food store but the cashier was too slow in assisting the customers. I almost always compute (hence, the title post.) the time I would consume if I would still do other stuff after leaving the office and before boarding my ride home. So, I stepped out from the store. I was still thinking if I was hungry or what. Then, I figured that I am running out of walking shorts (they're not really walking per se, ok.) since I plan to go to work wearing one every week. And I believe my jeans are happy with that bright idea of mine because this would spare them from laundry soap, fabric conditioner and burning sun every week.
First, I dropped by a boutique and looked for a shirt. Fickle. One, I was thinking of shorts. When I went in the mall, I switched to look for shirts. Went around the store and found none. Actually, there were nice ones but I didn't have that urge to buy one. Probably, I was still thinking of getting myself a new OPM cd. Or was it my Libra trait of being a bad shopper?
I jumped to the next mall and browsed through the item in the department store. No boutiques this time. It took me awhile to figure out what style I would look good. I also find their prices too much. They're not high end brands but some are almost P400. The cheapet I saw was for P299.99. Not bad? Nope. That is at least a cd from Music 1. Libra, you know. Weigh things. Haha! So, there. I got three pairs.
There are also good stuff at the ground floor. Statement and spoof t-shirts. But I didn't spend on them. They seem to be rip offs of those from Spoofs Ltd. I just enjoyed those few minutes of walking inside a mall. I've never shopped for myself for a long time. Ok, I forgot. I tried a shirt of a known brand. It looked nice but not on me. Sad. I looked thin (ner) wearing it. More than the color, it was the stripes that caught my eye. But those stripes was supposed to make me look less thin.
I browsed through some cds after. And got myself a nail pusher. Oops. I didn't get that from the music section. Gusto ko lang i-segway. I was tempted to buy a cd but of course, knowing me, i told myself that if I see that cd again, it's really meant for me. If not, there are other plans for me. Hehe. Corny. But the nail pusher, I needed that one. My toe nail already hurts. And my sister just brought to her apartment the one that we use in the house. I don't want my foot to swell and I need to get off that toe nail that's piercing my flesh. And I have the habit of cleaning my nails every week. Yes, I do it myself. Just apply the solution to soften the nails then scrape it using the pusher. Afterwards, trim. Clean. (I never trusted those who clean toes/fingers for others. I'd rather hurt my own which I normally do. I subjected three toes to bleeding during my toe cleaning session yesterday.)
Speaking of yesterday. Hmm, I hepled my niece on her Science and Math assigments. Science would be a bit easy for me. But Math, hmm again. It was about adding a mixed fraction to a whole number. I browsed her book and notebook to find the pattern on solving it. After several attempts, I finally answered some of the questions. I left some for her to answer as I looked over.
And for today, as I walk by the walkway, I remembered one of my mannerisms and that is counting my steps. But I already got rid of it. But I'd rather count again since it slows me down. (Fyi, I walk fast.)
Btw, its 45 days to go before Christmas.
