My Tarot Card

Positive: The Chariot card represents the need to take control of ones actions to rise above the conflicts in ones life. The Chariot alerts us of the need to draw energy not only from our material resources but from within as well. The Chariot reminds us that we must have balanced energy in order to reap the rewards of all that life has given us. The Chariot represents a dualistic nature and that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Focus and awareness is necessary in order to make the most out of the situation. Most importantly, the Chariot represents the need to hold on tightly to the reigns because should we let go we will face the likelihood of going way off course. Ultimately, if we don't hold tight and steer our way through, our life can get way out of control.

Negative: When reversed this card represents a lack of drive and focus or letting others manipulate us to their own ends. It can also mean arrogance or foolhardy behavior. A lack of control and imbalanced thought.

Of undue influence and expensive jogging pants...

[mood |

apathetic]
[music | Loveless - Michiyuki]

"There is Undue Influence when a person takes improper advantage of his power over the will of another, depriving the latter of a reasonable freedom of choice."

In my case, "There is Undue Influence in Meira's situation when her parents takes improper advantage of their parental power over her will, hence depriving Meira of a reasonable freedom of choice."

Meh, okay, I'm addicted to our Obligations and Contracts (Law) subject. o.O But that's what I learned, sooo~

....

Okay, so much for doing the loooooooong Accounting homework. Oh well, it's going to be submitted next week anyway... so I guess I still have time. Although I hope I'll find some time since we're having our Youth Camp this Saturday, although I won't be staying overnight (I'll be fetched at around 8pm =_= I dunno if they'd still bring me to school on the next day or not, though).

Anyway, today was rather crappy. Crappy, I say..!!! I dunno, I wasn't really in the mood to do much at all, so during Financial Management I just stared at the blackboard and copied notes [I didn't even try computing for those examples and exercises]... and as for Marketing, I just stared at the powerpoint that our professor made. Fortunately, we didn't have any quiz today, however we'll be having some quizzes next next meeting. I think. Oh well.

...

Moving on to the rant of the day, which is about JOGGING PANTS. Pffft.

...

Warning: Over-redundancy of the words "jogging pants" ahead.

My parents and I had lunch at the mall near school (after class, duh), and we did a little window shopping for some jogging pants. o_O Yep, jogging pants, for the Youth Camp. My mom insisted on buying a pair of jogging pants (Adidas, omg) because she wanted me to look "okay" during the Youth Camp. But I was kinda hesitant to buy because I know that Adidas products are quite expensive. Heck, I even saw the tag price of those jogging pants that she wanted for me =_=" That's like 2k PhP. Omg. I wouldn't be happy at all if my mom buys those expensive jogging pants for me, because it's too expensive. It's already like buying the "name", and not the "product". After all, they're just jogging pants, and for me, buying Adidas jogging pants wouldn't matter much because it's still a pair of jogging pants and they're clothes that are used to be worn >.> So what's the difference? The brand? >.> Pffft.

Besides, the Youth Camp's just a camping activity, so why should I even bother buying new, and most of all, EXPENSIVE pants? It's not required now, is it? So why should I even buy?

It's not that I'm cost-cutting or anything, I know I splurge a lot on "other" expenses, but 2k PhP for ONE pair of jogging pants is too much. Besides, I'd rather spend 2k PhP on costumes because it's not everyday you get to have a costume.

So there, I STRONGLY declined my mom's "offer". And because of it, she told me that we'll be going to another mall to check out more jogging pants =_="

Soon enough, we got there, and we started looking around too. We found a bunch of jogging pants (which are cheaper than that Adidas one) however most of the pants weren't too good. My mom got to buy me a t-shirt though, and she said I'll be using it for the Youth Camp... and then she added that all we needed at that time is to find some good jogging pants to buy.

We looked around but to no avail, and eventually my mom got enthusiastic again when she saw the Adidas products in the mall =_="" She saw ANOTHER pair of Adidas jogging pants and she really wanted to buy me those. I took a look at the tag price, it's still expensive, but it's KINDA cheaper than the pair of jogging pants that we saw at the mall near school. Anyway, I did nothing but decline, but she kept persuading me. It was really annoying, because it was almost like she wasn't listening that I've been saying. We WASTED a few minutes doing that, and we even looked stupid in front of the sales staff... and then my mom suddenly brought out her phone and called my dad who was quite nearby. She was like, "Can you come here for a minute? Your daughter's being hard-headed again."

I was afraid, since my dad's coming over, but I didn't really want to buy those jogging pants. It's too expensive. I'd really prefer something a bit cheaper because, what would I get if I buy an expensive pair of jogging pants? So can someone please enlighten me, WHAT WILL I GET IF I BUY A CHEAP PAIR OF JOGGING PANTS? WHAT WOULD BE THE DIFFERENCE IF I BUY AN EXPENSIVE PAIR? HUH? HUH?!?!?!!!

So after a few minutes of declining (on my part) and threatening AND scolding (on their part), that pair of Adidas jogging pants was bought, unfortunately. By the time the pants were bought, I was totally humiliated, and I was slightly crying (and imagine that, the sales staff were even STARING at my miserable state... talk about mall drama). I know I looked weird because normally, I'd be thankful for the pants, but I wasn't. Because I was too bothered by its price since it's so expensive.

I guess I DID have some shortcomings for this little argument, but I dunno. I was too bothered.

So now that I have a NEW pair of EXPENSIVE pants, what will happen now? Will my grades go up? Will my sleep be more comfortable?

...

Indeed, this is not really a good week...
