Abstinence.
Saturday, May 31, 2008This is somewhat a reflection of or a response to Zafra’s Duh Therapy.
The perfect way to avoid something, anything at all, is abstinence. I vowed not to go to mall and be tempted to buy unnecessary things. I vowed not to buy any books until I finished reading all that I’ve got. I vowed not to overspend. I vowed to keep my financial statements organized. I vowed to avoid looking at posts online advertising gadgets, gadgets and more gadgets. I opted looking at anything free. Free workshops! Free seminars! Free food! <– (uh, not really). ^.^
And yet, I was subscribed to this blog which recently reviewed "HP Mini," the new notebook that would topple all the Asus EEE series. And damn, such good specs! 1-2gb RAM. 120-160 HDD. Super nice speakers. You can opt for Linux, Vista Basic or Vista Business with the respective prices 24,999, 29,999, and 34,999.
Somehow, I wanted to kick myself for opening that link, but then I only read the entry with the goal of reading all the unread posts on my reader.

Oh, and one thing more, no amount of optimism can make me appreciate Saturday shifts.
