ahh...what a beautiful, wonderful day. =D so i got off class at noon and as you can see from the little ditty below, i was very happy about it. :) so i ate lunch and just waited for mel to get out of class. she got out at 1 pm and we left for fashion valley around 130-140. the bus to fashion valley took about 45 minutes so we got there a little after two or something. we headed straight to old navy first cuz there was this sweater and track jacket that mel really really wanted that she saw online. turns out they had they had the sweater but not the track jacket and, actually, the sweater didn't look as great in person as it did in the photo online.

so we left and just started walking around. went to charlotte russe next and spent like $60. i was so stupid. while i was waiting in line to pay, i specifically told melissa, "i'm not going to use my credit card. i have to watch what i charge [since my balance is only $83]." and when it was my turn to pay, i didn't even think about what i was doing, i immediately pulled out my credit card without a second thought. i didn't even realize what i did till i was buying a smoothie at the food court. i opened my wallet to pull out some cash and then it dawned on me that i didn't pay for the charlotte russe stuff with cash. pulling out my credit card was like a reflex. see, i think THAT is when you know you need to spend some time apart from your credit card. maaaan. dammit. i really didn't want to pay for that stuff with the credit card just cuz now it's seriously almost maxed out. i can't believe i did that. argh. *bashes head onto keyboard* aoiuwe fLKUAOEIwotija;eoirjw3oi47021ajweorj;45iurIUawoI

OW.

well anyway, aside from the guilty feeling, i got some great stuff!! i'm so happy with my purchases. ;) i bought a long, gray sweater/coat type thing with the sleeves and bottom of the sweater fringed at charlotte russe. i also bought a red 3/4th sleeve shirt and a purple/gray sleeveless top. so then afterwards, me and mel went to the food court because she was seriously starting to go all spacey on me. she was walking around like completely dazed. it was because she hadn't eaten much and it was like around 3 or 4 or something. so we headed to the food court where i had my stupid realization and where mel filled her belly with some food. i don't know how this topic came up, but while we were sitting there, i think i said something like, "hey, we could watch a movie tonight [since there's a theater at fashion valley]." and i think melissa immediately said, "serendipity!" and we just looked at each other and i was like, "do you want to?" and she looked at me and said, "do YOU want to?" and then i said, "well, do YOU want to?" and then she said...well, you get the idea. we just sat there like, "i'll go if you wanna go"; back and forth like that for like several minutes. finally, i said, "okay, let's just go look at the times." so we did. and it turned out there was a show at 530 and it was only like 420 or something like that. so we bought tickets and then walked around a little bit more.

around 510, we headed back to the theater and sat down. i must say, serendipity is SUCH A CUTE MOVIE. there were so many "awww!!" moments, i loved it!!! i gotta admit though, it's a total chick flick. i'm thinking of all my guy friends right now, and i can't think of one that would like it. come to think of it, i think i saw a total of like, one guy in the theater. but whatever. john cusack is SUCH A CUTE MAN. i want him. someone get me him. i love john cusack. he was his lovely, adorable, funny self in this movie. mmm...john cuuuusaaaaack...

anyway, after serendipity, mel and i continued shopping. we hit forever 21 where i got another long sweater thing. this one's like super long. it almost goes to my ankles. and it's multi-colored. but like, with dark colors. it's very fall-ish. i love it. :) so i spent like about $100 today - clothes and movie. ergh...i know, it's not really that much, but for me, it is. :-/ but well...i got such good clothes!! in fact, i think i'm gonna try them on again and tear all the tags off. =D

all in all, fantastic day. weather was warm and sunny and it was even somewhat warm when it got all dark. i was wearing my black halter top and i wasn't cold at all. super day. good weather, good movie, good shopping. ahhh...i'm satisfied. ;)
