My friend Shyam thinks I'm a money-waster! She strongly believes that if I stop spending so much on unnecessary things I would be super-duper rich right now! The thing is, she is the more sensible one between the two of us, so I'm inclined to listen to what she has to say, even though I'm a couple of months older than her. ;)
But seriously, just because I once spent a bomb on green colored lenses only to dispose of them after two times showing them off; does that mean I'm a money-waster? In my defense, the contact lenses were the disposable kind! I also admit that I own more than five mini exercise machines at home. You know, for me to use at home in my quest to become fit! But is it my fault that they all didn't seem to work and I failed to see any difference after months of using them? And it's not like I'm totally wasting my purchases, I am still using my machines...as coat racks ha ha!
This Valentine's Day, I am going to prove my friend wrong. Yes, I shall show her just how much I am NOT a money-waster. So yesterday, I had a little chat with B and insisted that for Valentine's Day this year, I refuse to accept any expensive Valentine's Day Gifts from him. That's right, no fancy dinner, expensive bouquets or gourmet chocolates for Mariuca this year! B thinks this is a splendid idea too, so no gifts for my darling as well. I will cook a special Valentine's dinner for the two of us and if the "kids" behave themselves, perhaps they might enjoy some leftover! Seriously, I am going to start being more careful with my money now and hopefully become less of a money-waster. Watch me peeps, I am so going to prove my friend wrong. Money-waster it seems! ;)
Okay, it's time for American Idol now YAY! My current favourites are Adam Lambert, Danny Goki and Jamar Rogers. All I can say is hot hot hot and to my American buddies (you know who you are!), I'm counting on you to vote on my behalf again LOL! :)

Boo hoo... I see now it is not a * post... but I'm happy to be first, anyway
Particularly because I am on the train to NYC, using my new "tethered Blackberry" Internet access for the first time.

Hi Marzie,
advanced happy Valentines :) it seems you have been moving things around lately hehehe :) but it is looking good :) xoxo
I don't wear lenses. I think when comes to money its personal so its really up to you on how you spend it. You earn it and you spend it.
oh yeah.. the valentine's day is coming up. today is twins birthday too I post at twinshappiness!

Well ... many of us cannot even choose between being a money waster or not anymore. I am more concerned with not becoming homeless in the current economic crisis. My industry has ground to a halt *DONT_KNOW*
haha, u know some ppl say that your friends are your mirror. In my opinion, sometimes, it could be true. :) But which woman doesn't shop and ter-buy unnecessary stuffs? I ter-buy alot of stuffs too! hehe
that's so sweet of you two to make this decision on spending low for valentine's. M & I are going to cook a special dinner for each others at home. It's going to be non-glittering too, if u know what i meant. ;)

Recent blog post: Dating with different type of chics
Thanks for giving us guys a break by understadnig tha Valentine Day is commercial blackmail. If someone love you they won't just think of you on Valentine's Day, the rest of the year is where their love shoud be shown.
Awwww...i told Walter not to send me flowers this year too.
We just spent so much money on my new camera and new lens for my birthday that I don't need anything else.
I hope your show went well. As for me if I get any slower with drops I will be in reverse!! :) :) :)
I'm headed over to MPG and them I am going to cuddle up with Puma and MolliPop and take a nap!!
Then do a tag for Blue, finish my drops and then,and thennnnnnn watch my favorite t.v. show...Damages!!
Later Gator 8-)Hugs too ;)

What do you intend to cook for B on V day?
Hubs & I will be going out with another good friend couple of ours for dinner & movie together. I've booked dinner at Swensen. The V day set meal looks so yummy, esp the ice-cream heart shape cake. Will take pic to show you then :)

Hola Martin, thanks and welcome to Mariuca's blog! Yup, am giving my hubby a break this year, love how u think of VDay as commercial blackmail lol!

Recent blog post: My Valentine *

I don really like the food at Swensen's, I mean it's okay but I prefer someplace else, although the ice-cream there should be superb yeah? Ok can't wait to see the heart shape ice cream cake. Happy Valentine's Day to u and hubbs, hugs! :* :* :)

Hubby and I never allow ourselves to get exploited with Valentines Day scams. The last straw came when one year, he ordered flowers to be sent to me from a flower shop at KLCC, and they were wilted!! And they aint cheap too!
So valentine's Day we usually cook at home. Hubby usually surprise me witha fantastic dinner! Gifts are kept simple, chocolates, cute little bears, silly little things like that
Dear Mariuca,

You are also a great Blogger that I can learn a lot from.
