Shopping is the Devil!
As I told a new friend, I am not a materialistic person. I am mostly content with what I have and won’t go out of my way to buy stuff that I deem “unnecessary” according to my strictly frugal Ilocano upbringing, which mandates that I must always save the bigger portion of my earnings in a bank account.
Motherhood changed me a bit when it comes to shopping. Suddenly, I am more aware of the trends, looking through color combinations more, and spending a lot more time in online stores such as Amazon and Buy.com’s best buy section.
Hubby tells me that I always had that in me and that I must have secretly suppressed my inner shopping diva to satisfy the guilt that overspending brings. Momhood has unleashed my commercial drive, and now I feel the urge to excel in that aspect of womanhood too, as I excelled in other aspects.
