If Men Liked Shopping, They’d Call It ‘Research’

Oh my fuck… I cannot believe that I have just a little over 300MB of available data left from the 2GB of data I had loaded on to my SIM card when I purchased my Vodafone Mobile Connect USB Modem last Friday. But it is all good as I went to the mall earlier to spend some of what was left of the money that Arno had sent me and I purchased enough airtime for a 3GB data bundle. So when what the data I have available right now has run out, I can load a 3GB data bundle onto my SIM card.

Randi's shopping for the dayI’m going to try and make it last the rest of this month. I’ll only be downloading what is of high priority and will only be downloading whatever else probably the day or so before the data bundle’s expiry date.

I also purchased a bottle of hair shampoo, a bottle of hair conditioner, facial products and some tissue oil. I’ve been using Loréal Paris Elvive Colour Protect shampoo and conditioner since I had my hair dyed at my brother’s fiancé’s salon months ago. I have to say that so far has been the longest time that my hair has held any hair color and it has hardly faded if not at all. It also leaves my hair soft and shiny. I really like it. I have to get my roots touched up soon though as the hair has already grown out almost two inches.

I also purchased a few Garnier Pure products; the ‘Night intensive treatment gel’, ‘Active daily treatment moisturizer’ and two packs of ‘Purifying cleansing wipes’. I already had the ‘Deep pore wash’ and ‘Pore purifying astringent’ from the beginning of this year and thought that I’d get these other products from the Garnier Pure range.

I also purchased a bottle of Bio Oil and a bottle of Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Instant Nail Hardener just because I’ve heard good things about them.

My gift from Bob will be sent out to me tomorrow and should get here within eight to ten days or so. Gosh, I am so excited about this but I don’t want to get too excited in case something goes wrong… I hope nothing goes wrong!

I have been using a 56Kbps dial up connection for several years and had not experienced anything faster until Friday night…

I’m not going to lie and say that I have been so busy that I haven’t had time for this website. Yes, I’ve been busy and I just haven’t really felt like posting a blog entry because I’ve been feeling off lately and was just not in the mood anyway. And this site isn’t listed really high on my priority list lately too.

So Victor’s new work still hasn’t called him in to work yet; some delay with the contract or whatever. It’s a good thing he’s applying at other companies because if this accounting firm is taking him for a ride… I don’t know about him but I’d be really pissed because they told him he has been accepted and will call him in to sign the contract when he starts there. We’ll see. Hopefully soon!

Almost a month ago I had ordered a couple things on Amazon with a couple gift certificates that I received for my birthday. The package was supposed to arrive here last Tuesday… But because I didn’t receive the notice for collection from the post office, I decided to go over there on Friday to find out what happened to my package. After having one of the post office officials check if my package was in their possession, I am told that the notification was in fact sent out. I complained that I didn’t receive it and handed over my identity document for verification, signed for my package and left.

The address on the package was correct but the address on the post office form was incomplete as it didn’t have my apartment number, only the building number and street name. So I’m wondering if the notification was slipped into the mailbox of the apartment corresponding with the building number. Fuck knows. I have concluded that some post office officials don’t have the ability to read and write the correct address. I mean, really, is it too complicated to just type out the exact address that is on the package?

If I didn’t go to the post office to find out where my package was, I would have never received it because after a certain amount of days after your notice is sent out and your package is not collected… The post office keeps it; and that’s not nice at all!

Tarot deck and book about tarotI bought a tarot deck and a book about learning tarot. I’ve always wanted to learn how to read tarot cards and now I can start learning, some time, I guess as it isn’t high on my priority list either. I like the tarot deck. The images are collages from artwork of the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance; the golden gilded edging of the cards just make them even more lovely to look at, I think.
