___liberation
I had a great time today! Shopping really liberated me from the cage of mugging. I spent the entire day without touching my books! Had band practice and then went shopping. And I shopped so much lugging around heavy bags of clothes that my legs and hands are aching. I realise that shopping means you need a chauffeur, or it means that you need to be rich enough to call for a cab anytime you want.
Anyway, I'm damn sad that I didn't get to go to zara! Went to mango and forever 21 but there's nothing nice left which is also on sale. haha. But the clothes there aren't really my type. I still prefer esprit!! And today's shopping was entirely FOR OTHER PEOPLE. I didn't buy anything for myself! I really want to go shopping again haha. I have so many things I want to buy. Okay I know I sound extremely bimbotic, but shopping managed to lift my spirits up after being depressed yesterday.
I enjoyed band today even amidst this crisis, being back with the beloved people of my life. And I don't know why I'm extremely emotional now as I think about Etude. I think and I think and I must say I'm proud of our band no matter what. We've been through a lot. Let our unity shine through, let the love for being in this band be witnessed by a thousand pairs of eyes.
The only thing that seriously marred my mood today was EXTREMELY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE shown at a particular shop in town. The fact that we placed our orders 3 weeks ago, and repeatedly told the person the number of scarves that we wanted, did not deter the mistake made in our order. 34 scarves were given when we wanted 48. The panic that we got into didn't make the shop-owner sympathetic at all, rather he kept pushing away his responsibility and saying "too bad". Gosh I wanted to throw everything at him and walk away BUT I couldn't because we badly needed to buy the scarves at a low price that only they offer. I THINK IT'S DAMN RUDE AND IRRITATING FOR SOMEONE TO DO BUSINESS THIS WAY. Not even a sincere sorry was offered for messing up our order. I really think this kind of service doesn't deserve patronage, no matter how competitive the prices of their things are. Service says a lot.
