New stuff

A pair of cheap not-so-fluffy bedroom slippers, demi-pearl earrings and crystal encrusted metal headbands; stuff I bought at Mall of Asia department store. Many will disagree that these are necessities but I contend that:

* I need a new pair of bedroom slippers because my existing pair is a year old and sticky;

* a girl needs a pair of pearl earrings regardless of it’s ageing illusion. There are days I need to look like a first lady of the country;

* Metal headbands are perfectly subtle and useful to adorn and keep my newly permed curly locks.

I find every reason for a new purchase, and not just because I want it. Most sales jobs require agents to create a need, I’d be damned if I can’t sell an idea.
