obviously me.

Another week flies by, what have i done? well, the past week i did something most women would call ‘retail therapy’ in other words shopping. Something i just failed to understand how it can be entertaining. Let’s not get there yet.

So YES, i went shopping. Reason? I needed a new pair of sneakers. Already spotted it earlier to spare myself from the agony of searching for ‘the one’. So i dragged myself together to do so.

Confession : I am a female that loathes shopping. Don’t ask me why.

Anyways, the whole motive was just to get the pair of sneakers that i’m so in love with right now. Which then leads me to today’s issue. Why I HATE shopping…

I hate the idea of walking through 10 shops and returning back to the first one to get the item you want.

I hate the fact that we are left with so many options. Yes, having so many options leaves me frustrated because of the fact i’m wasting my time contemplating on a clothing item when i can spare all that critical thinking for something more important.

I hate going in and out of the fitting room trying on a gazillion items only to find out everything looks like crap and looking at the size tag just makes me far more depressed.

I hate the fact when you have the wrong shopping buddies you just get bad advice and something that looks crappy on you suddenly becomes a charm just to make you feel better.

I hate the fact that we spend so much time and money shopping. Which part of that is therapy? You get back all the stress in the world once you realised how tired you are and how much you spent and how many items you bought that you doubt you’d ever wear.

Well, those are my reasons why I hate shopping. Even my best friend notices it, after i go shopping i tend to be a little edgy due to the frustration of deciding. I know i’m weird but i’m just being comfortable in my own skin. Thank you.

Also not to forget, this is the most important piece of advice my girls should know. The best person to shop with is a guy. Why? They tend to give the most honest opinion whether you like it or not. Then most importantly you get the shopping done FAST! Now, isn’t that just fabulous?

After all of the ranting. This is what i bought for me. I got a shoe thing. It’s the only thing i bother spending the effort to shop for. No fitting rooms. Yes! So there’s my puma speed cat. It isn’t something that’s special but i just like it. so bugger off!

And then a little more spoiling myself once in a while.

The black heels is always required since it goes with almost anything. I’ll spare the rest of my effort for more attractive sneakers.

So that’s all for now. Til the next time…

So it’s been a really long time since i spent time blogging. Sorry about that. I’ve been busy with classes and assignments and the list just keeps getting longer. Then was also busy due to the world cup season. Yes, Brazil went out early but still at least Italy won! Also been busy with upcoming events as well. Also, there’s an upcoming event that i’ll be the emcee for the night. Want to check it out? Ask me. Well, finally some times spared to let me blog eventhough i’m tired but fresh after yoga. Don’t even ask me why. I know it’s unlikely to associate yoga with me.

Asides that, my life isn’t that dull and filled with work only. There’s been some healthy action to it as well. Yes i am single and loving it but always keep your options open. Also i’m only 19 so what’s the rush? Then comes the wild side of me who just love the kicks of a thrill.

So what is it about this time? Well, simple as busy as i am i love being single. So it’s ‘10 reasons to stay single’. It’s based on quite a number of articles i’ve come across and figured the 10 reasons that i just have to agree with. So here are the reasons why…

#1 : You have a better body.
Ever realised that when you get into a relationship you gain weight? I’ve been through that. I went up to sizes and lost my confidence as well. When you’re single you tend to have more motivation to stay slim due to the fact singles look at themselves like other people and most importantly to look attractive for potential suitors.

#2 : You’re more likely to achieve great things.
The reason to this is simple. You have more time to yourself and your priorities are mainly to achieve your goals. Nothing else comes between that. Simple.

#3 : You do less housework.
Well, you don’t have to care about who’s coming over and check out where u trash everything you have around your place. Unless under special circumstances. For instance me, the only reason i clean my room is because if i don’t i get a performance by a one woman orchestra which is my mother. In comparison to those who are married, you have to clean up after someone else or even after kids. As for the singles i clean whenever i want to or feel like it.

#4 : You can do what you want with your money including keeping it.
I control my own cashflow. I don’t want to spend it’s my problem. I want to spend it’s also my problem. No worrying about another person and splitting the bill or whatever stuff like that. I like this already.

#5 : You have better sex.
Well, this one is based on valid surveys and medical journals. google it. Basically, married couples may have more sex than singles do but married women are more likely to complain about their sex lives compared to single women. Why so? simple. Variety vs. One and Only.

#6 : You’re better rested and smarter.
You get good sleep on your own. When it’s two on a bed then you lose sleeping hours due to cuddling and all that. Smarter? that’s because you are more alert when you have sufficient amount of sleep.

#7 : You are less depressed.
Singles are in fact happier than those in relationships. Why so? Well, its just you. No requirements of investing in another person. Somehow you tend to rely on your partner. People in a relationship actually have a higher risk of depression. Believe it.

#8 : You have better friendships.
Singles don’t just rely on one person to meet their needs. When you’re single you can spend as much time with whoever you want to. You tend to spend more time with friends which in fact builds a stronger bond. I’ve been having the best of it since i’ve been single.

#9 : Your travel tales are enviable.
Let’s just make it simple, singles tend to go on more interesting trips. It doesn’t matter wherever it is because you get to have fun and you set your own rules. When it comes to a relationship yes its nice but no kick out of the fun section. I’m single and i can go on a trip and have a blast without worrying what anyone has to say.

#10 : You know what you want and what you want out of a relationship.
This is the most important one. Well, no point getting serious at such an early stage because at the early stage you tend to seek for the person who completes you. In my case, my vast history has taught me to seek for the right person and not someone to complete my flaws. Also with all that experience you definitely know what you want out of a relationship with potential suitors.

Well, those are the 10 reasons. I love being single. I’ve never felt better this way. Casual dating is fun but serious commitments? It’s a long way to go. Well, agree or not it’s up to you. It’s basically just my point of view about it. That’s it for today. Til the next time take care.
