how cool is this colour combi?
like psychedelically insanely rocking cool.
if you do know me, like even remotely, you'd agree that this would totally complete me, considering the green freak i am.
green thumb included.

i love this funky site; it's even better than crumpler!

but then again, reality calls, my jaw drops at the 3 digit number showing on the screen at the 'checkout' page and i wake up to find the notes in my wallet thinning, and i realise its time to 'open up sources, conserve outward flows'. in other words, increase income, reduce expenditure. if that's even earthly possible.

i guess i could try the 3-day apple detox diet, considering it would do wonders for both my weight, my figure AND my wallet [3 thronged approach! brilliant! smashing, really] but then again, my appetite and taste bugs beg to differ.

enough of whimsical fantasies and desires. these fleeting things, like timbuk2 messenger bags, havaianas slippers, mr bump and mr messy t-shirts, and other unnecessary ostentatious goods.

i was talking to my mother the other day, and she and my father were lamenting about two teenagers having a conversation about a bag. they were saying that since it cost 199 dollars, it must have been a lousy quality bag.

i guess to us commonsfolk, we just cannot comprehend how people can blow a 3 digit amount on one piece of clothing; one bag, one pair of shoes. it just does not seem possible. maybe it's because i haven't been brough up to think that it is logical and reasonable to act in such a way, but somehow something tells me that this is just not something normal people would do.

would i really feel good, if i had an unlimited supply of money, and could buy all the things i wanted? would i be really as happy as i think i could/would be? or would i be swallowed up by a sense of emptiness, sitting in the middle, surrounded by the dozens of bags, hundreds of pieces of clothing, thousand pairs of shoes? it's really hard to say.


something i still firmly believe;
nothing beats the awesome feeling of snagging a good bargain.
