Spendings, expenses, and things related to those is our topic for this article. I wasn't able to update last September so I thought I could just combine bot September and October in one article.

Here are my previous related articles:

Anyways, if some of you might not know, I moved out from my parents' house to a boarding house in the last week of August, and we have our face-to-face classes as well. I have started a new lifestyle and my spending changed too. That's why, my expenses seems too much for me in the previous weeks. Let's see the things I wasted my money on...

FOODS & DRINKS

1. Ulams in Carinderia

As I have mentioned, I am currently living in a boarding house for college, and living in a boarding house has quite a lot of rules. One of them is not being able to cook foods that take longer period of time. Foods that are allowed to cook there are only rice, fried foods, instant foods, and others that can easily and quickly cooked. So I usually buy outside at the carinderias for the meals.

Here are some of the foods I bought: lumpia, cordon bleu, sinabawan, adobo, ginataang papaya, ginataang puso ng saging, siomai, tortang talong, chopsuey, mushroom steak, pork steak, pork chop, sisig, fried chicken, ukoy, etc.

2. Jollibee

I ordered this through my roommate's foodpanda, she has a voucher too which was a good thing. I consider this as my reward for doing so much plates. I was so happy during this time because it was my first time again after a long time eating my favorite Jollibee foods. I ordered jolly spaghetti, yum burger, and coke.

3. McDonald's

  • Mix & Match - This is my go-to order! It's only P75! Most people I know don't know about this combo. You can ask at the counter about this. Anyways, I ordered this several times. Hehe.

  • McDonalds' Sundae - my fave!

  • McDonald's Mushroom Pepper Steak & Coffee Float - At this time, I was supposed to order the Mix & Match again but my classmate said that I should try the coffee float and so I did. I regretted it though cause it taste bad for me, and the taste kinda seem like it's just a Nescafe with sundae on top. I had it in evening so I didn't get to sleep early. I slept around 3 am that time because of the coffee float.

4. Bonchon

I went here to eat with my bestie. I ordered fried chicken, fries, rice, juice. Bonchon's fried chicken is really one of the best! Also their fries. Yummy!

5. Cafes

I went to a cafe near our campus with my bestie, and I ordered Matcha Latte. Glad that it tastes so good!

At the last week of October, I went there again with my squad and I ordered carbonara and cucumber lemonade. I regret ordering the drink because it was too expensive already. Huhu.

Then my bestie visited a cafe for the first time. It has an amazing interior decor, but I didn't like the spanish latte that I ordered.

6. Drinks

I usually buy Yakult at the stores near our boarding house. But there were times also that I bought other drinks such as C2, Zest-O juice, coke, blue Lemonade, taro milktea, and cucumber juice.

7. Snacks

I bought shawarma, empanada, pandesals, sinapot, street foods, and puto.

8. Groceries

It was my first time doing groceries in two supermarket. I don't know why but I enjoy doing groceries.

9. Sojus

Not at all planned, but it is what it is.


NECESSITIES

1. Catallan papers and tracing papers

These were expensive at least for me. Catallan is P10 each, I think, while the tracing paper is P20/each. I don't have a choice but to buy though because these are needed in our course.

2. Prints

Another thing for academic purposes.

3. Mousepad & Mug

This is for org-purposes.

5. Unipins

Much needed for our course and for personal matters too because I love writing using unipins since 9th grade. The only con is that a piece is so expensive, around P70 each.


WANTS

1. 2 Tops

I bought 2 tops, one is a brown crop top while the other one is a black top. Both are ribbed and just cost P99 each. They were perfect for my minimalist wardrobe.

2. QuickFX Cleanser

I think this is my third purchase.

3. Belo Tinted Sunscreen

I kind of regret buying this. Although it claims that it has a tone adapt technology, for me as a morena, it still has a white cast and makes my skin a little whiter. I don't like the effect as much. I could rate it 7/10.

4. Architecture-related Stickers

I purchased these when there was an even on our campus. It is a way of supporting my fellow archi-mate and her small business.

5. Small Hoop Earrings

Didn't regret buying this at all. I love accessories.

6. iPhone XR + shipping fee

Read the article that I wrote about this: I Bought My First iPhone! (My Dream Phone)

Obviously, this is my biggest purchase in the previous months. Huhuhu. Worth it though because I really like the quality of it.


GIVES

1. McDonald's Fries

I gave this to my bestie kasi may pustahan kami tapos natalo ako. Hahahaha.

2. Architecture-related Stickers

I gave this to my close classmate.

3. Contribution to birthday cake and gift

The cake was for a close classmate and the gift was for my friend's sister.

4. A set of Kutchinta

I bought a set of kutchinta from my classmate to support their family business and as my pasalubong to my family.


Closing Thought

Those are where my money went in the last 2 months of September and October.

In my reflection, face-to-face classes are really costly. But the advantage of it is that I got to gain more experiences and memories physically, not virtually, with other people.

Hope we will all have an abundant November! ✨☀️💫🌙🔮

Magastos pero you're satisfied naman, mare ey. And sabi nga: "spoiled yourself with foods" lalo kapag stressed sa acads or work.

Anyways, bet kong i-try si Belo products pero shala. Di ko pa afford ~ I mean, afford pero ubos agad budget ko. Hihi!

If ever makakita ka ng Bonchon, highly recommend na try mo sis lalo yung friend chicken nila na honey flavor. Sobrang sarap ng soju hahahaha yung may flavor na grapefruit sis. Baka kasi di ko bet yung original eh. Basta ang bango nya and tastes like wine, kind of.

Yup. Sa Bonchon so far alam kong maraming flavors, kasi sa iba like Jollibee and McDo, original and spicy lang.
