While the tuition fee is lower this year, school expenses shot up because of the school's migration to ebooks. While paper books are still an option, TheHusband and I figured there's no point in stalling. Besides, it's a lot of weight off Sharkteeth's back, literally. Nagkakandakuba yun sa pagbubuhat ng books. So off I purchased an iPad. Pikit-mata! Ang mahaaaaaal. I hope S will take care of it. *Please, please, please, S.*
I'm almost through with the back-to-school shopping, thanks to good ole National Bookstore. She'll be using her Cath Kidston bag, so I don't have to purchase a new bag anymore. Got her shoes when we went to Cebu. Ang daming affordable choices sa Payless! Ang cute pa. These shoes' model is S' namesake. :)
Notebooks na lang ang kulang. Kasi naman, bakit naubos ang Monsters High notebooks sa National Bookstore...sana mag-restock na sila this week.
I used to get so excited going back to school because it meant new bags, new shoes, new everything, and I love the smell of books covered with plastic. S, however, isn't particular with those things. It doesn't matter to her if I don't buy her a new bag or a new pencil case and what-nots. But then, unlike me who used to only get those new stuff at the start of schoolyear, S gets new things throughout the year, and sometimes I feel that she doesn't really fully appreciate them as much as I did when I was a student. I hope that with me trying to lessen our frivolous purchases, I would be able to teach her the value (and "nonvalue") of things.
