Not a Rolex, but a CASIO

If I could only afford a ROLEX, that would surely impact the economy. Casio would do its deed for now, but once I get that hefty paycheck in maybe the next couple years; I may upgrade towards a Michael Kors timepiece.
This purchase was 198HKD.

Katia Russian Tea Room


Spending time for a friend's birthday is a must. We all went to try Katia Russian food in SF for Alex's birthday. It was delicious, authentic and I was stuffed! The bill coordinated with it. It was $60 per person, even the unemployed buddies put out. Total cash injection tonight $700.

How I saved the econ and the Puppy



I went to the Berkeley Animal Humane Society today and adopted this cute little terrier. His previous owner suddenly passed away =(.
People with dogs know that dogs are a life time commitment. They can get very expensive and is the livelihood of many stores like pet food and grooming.
The total $ injection I put back into society from my savings account is:
$290 adoption fee
$229.83 purchasing doggies necessities
$519.83 Total today.

This doesn't include the visit to the vet and her vaccinations. That will cost around $80.
Also $40 a month for grooming, $30 of food a month and examination annually. Average life span is 15 years. That makes about $216,000 for it's life.

Leopard Bangle

I bought a leopard bangle in Mong Kok for 20HKD. I am obsessed with accessories, a statement piece goes a long way. It can change a whole entire wardrobe. The interesting usage of leopard's tail as clasp sold me on this bangle.
