Rationale

There is an apparent reason for every item I spent my money on today. I should not listen to that other inner voice dictating my other brain lobe that I splurged because it's absolutely of no truth. (repeat last statement 10x).

1. MyBook 1TB. I learned my lesson the hard way, when I lost my office laptop (and iPod!) few months back and I never had any backups since day 1 of my work. Since my personal stuff is highly essential, and completes my human life, I make sure this time it's all backed up and redundant enough not to lose anything I worked hard for (pictures, personal docs, pictures again, and more pictures).
2. MicroSD Card. I lost my iPod fine. And I can't survive days without listening to my music. So I'm going to convert my BB to an iPod with this 8GB capacity SD. Looks enough for me.
3. Swatch. It's my mom birthday on September and she deserves it. Gotta give it to her on my Pinas visit next week.
4. The Lovely Bones. I think this book is really for me. There's only one copy left from Times on this nation and I got it reserved for me. I couldn't wait that I went to Funan to pick it up myself. It's got a tear in the front cover but I bought it anyway. I promise myself to read this book during my UK trip 2 weeks from now.
5. Gel Mouse Pad. This is a favor from a friend I will visit in Northern Ireland. Of course, this is my "pasalubong" for her na din.

Well, so I guess it's all needs than wants. I had a good deal to myself today.
