I just got back not long ago to post pictures but I did post a few on my blog. Will post more once I get enought rest.

By the way, I did not spend much. I finally decided to buy little souvenir gift to people I am very...

I'm leaving to Alaska tomorrow morning!

This is my new blog. If I get the internet access there which I'm sure I will... I will write about my trip from that blog and everything else. I felt like having a blog let me have the freedom to talk about anything... Well not everything since I made it public but to express myself. I won't be putting anything personal just things I would like to share with some of you.

Not much to report here

(Christina) — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 21:32:41 PST

Other that I already saved over $500 is an achievemment, I don't have much to talk about. On the newspaper last week, it said that the recession in Canada is officially over. Wow... It only lasts less than a year. I remembered how my Micro teachers keeps telling us that we are going...

My saving progress

(Christina) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 09:51:15 PST

I gave up the idea of buying the two flats, one is in fabric and the other is in synthetic. The one with the synthetic doesn't let my feet breath and it doesn't hold up in bad weather.

I called my Rogers agent yesterday and got a cheaper plan. With $15 per month, I get 150 minutes...

It's all about money now

(Christina) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 19:20:13 PST

Shoes = money
Cellphone = money
Bus card = money
clothes = money
Grocery = money
Go out = money
Hair = money
Trip = money

Let's see... I was looking for gladiator sandals to walk in the summer. Bought two perfect pairs and I also found two perfect flats for the summer....

Selling on ebay soon

(Christina) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 23:16:29 PST

I still have things to get rid off in my closet so I decided to sell them on ebay. I figure out what kind of style I want and I am going to be doing some more clean up and probably a bit more shopping.

I also add to the challenge last week from my paycheck and this is how much...

Troubled by a friend

(Christina) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 09:44:19 PST

I had a friend whom I know for 4 years now and she just graduated from High school. Since I first met her, she changed a lot. Usually people change for the better but she got worse lately.

Her love life is mess up, she dated a 22 or 23 years guy on the internet for 1 year and a...

Adding $6.25 to the challenge

(Christina) — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 09:16:07 PST

I got $6.25 of change to put into my challenge. Now I have $230.52!

You know these days, I've been trying to figure out a way to get out of my negative thoughts. Life is not as bad as it seems, my parents may not be that great... I got some great friends who can make my life more...

Hitting the 20 mark

(Christina) — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 12:26:54 PST

Today is the day that I turn 20 and I received a wonderful news from a very close friend of mine. Will tell you more about it later.

Thanks for those of you who cheer me up on my last post, I really appreciate it when you guys are here to listen to me. I needed you guys! =)

In need of guidance in my life

(Christina) — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 17:08:32 PST

Lately, I've been staying home and thinking about my life. I know I have to do something in my free time instead of going out and staying home not doing much.

Tomorrow and the day after will be the days where I'm going out to celebrate my birthday. Next Monday, I might go see my...

Paycheck arrived

(Christina) — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:10:29 PST

I finally got my paycheck and I earned $310.68. I took 40% of this paycheck toward my challenge money which is $124.27.

This amount is not much and I could've put 50% more. Since I'm going to rebuild my wardrobe with this money and pay some of my bills such as cellphone, bus card...

My birthday is coming soon and 27 days of no shopping

(Christina) — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 13:12:02 PST

I spend almost a month of no shopping and it's funny but I don't feel the need to shop as much as before. It's a good feeling... Probably because I didn't go out a lot these past few days. I'm still looking for clothes that are easy to mix and match. I got the basic down and I need...

22 days of no shopping!

(Christina) — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 12:19:57 PST

It's my 22nd day of no shopping already!

The weather hasn't been great lately so I've spend most of the days staying at home and I didn't spend at all. My parents weren't happy that I sleep late and waking up late these past few days. My brother is taking summer school and I decided...

Going to Alaska this summer

(Christina) — Fri, 29 May 2009 09:05:49 PST

My dad told me this morning to tell my boss that I'm on vacation on July 29th till August 8th because we're going to Alaska on a cruise trip! Yay! I'm so happy! I can't wait to take pictures to show you guys!

I'm going to make another stop at Vancouver... Hopefully, my dad is planning...

A week of no shopping

(Christina) — Wed, 27 May 2009 14:55:24 PST

I haven't been shopping for a week already and I have a lot of no spend days except yesterday,I went to my friend's brother birthday.

We went to a Japanese buffet and we stuff our mouth with sushis till we die. I'm not a fan of buffets. I don't know if there's any buffets in Europe...

My summer starts today!

(Christina) — Thu, 21 May 2009 10:00:56 PST

Yesterday, I finished my math exam around 4:30 pm. The exam was sooooo easy, I think I will get around 90s for sure!

My first day of summer starts today! I also had a no spend day yesterday too!! Didn't bring my wallet or anything that makes me want to spend!

I'm going to school...

Let's the savings begin!

(Christina) — Tue, 19 May 2009 20:25:04 PST

Okay guys, I am dedicating this day the start of a shopping ban. Meaning no clothes shopping for 30 days... I am challenging myself again because I really need to get back my saving habit again.

I don't care what most of what you guys think of me, I am going to try to save again.

My savings are gone... gone...

(Christina) — Tue, 19 May 2009 14:53:09 PST

Whaaat O.O... I used to be an awesome saver, now I'm horrible! Aaarg... I mostly spend on foods and on some occasion, clothes.

It all started when I started College... I'm not blaiming anyone in particular but it surely influences me a lot. Especially now, I care a lot about how...

Outside of the Xiamen airport:

I think they are traffic regulator or something... Can't really tell, I see uniforms that look like police but they aren't. LOL
