"SALE"-phobic

some shopping malls had their 3-day midnight "whatever" sale...

well, i know that i'm not rich enough to just splurge on designer stuff, that's why "SALE" could possibly be a good thing...

but there are just some reasons that make me think, "to SALE" or "not to SALE"...^_^

1. heavy flow of traffic [needless to explain...]
2. long queues in fx terminal [another needless to explain...]
--- makes you end up getting a cab
3. congested parking spaces and hardheaded vehicle owners [should i say more?^_^]
4. less ventilation inside the malls
5. sometimes, you end up buying "NOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT"...
--- especially, if you ended up shopping on the last day, you just get the leftovers...
6. there are LONG LINES EVERYWHERE [may it be in the fastfood stores or in the boutiques...]
7. impatient customers [due to the congestion experienced...]
8. kids getting lost [and even parents lost in sanity^_^]
9. eating meals late [ehem...madami ngang tao eh...^_^]
10. family affairs [some bring their entire clan even the ones in wheelchairs just to shop...]
11. leg pains [for walking around and so for standing long enough...]
12. pickpockets and other criminals on the loose
13. some stores don't exactly have their ITEMS ON SALE...[SOME just tag them as sale or slash prices...NOT ALL OF THEM OK???]
14. the clothes you bought from them would look exactly like the rest...
--- well, they sell those that are "LESS SELLABLE" in the market...since, the new collections will be displayed after
the sale season, you end dressing up just like the same as those who bought that day...[yaikss...unless you would
want to be a clone of someone 'ayt??!!]

END RESULT: penniless, stressed...

i know some would disagree because some benefit from this endeavor, especially if they anticipated this season to buy what they really want to have...

for those who were able to buy what they really wanted...WELL DONE

i'm not discouraging people to go for "SALE"-stuff, cause it is always better to spend less for something than to buy expensive stuff...
i just want to point out these:
1. IS IT REALLY WORTH IT???...or it could have been better that "YOU HAVE STAYED AT HOME and JUST BUY WHAT YOU NEED INSTEAD OF WHAT YOU WANT"...
and
2. WE KEEP SAYING "NAGHIHIRAP NA ANG PILIPINAS" but when it's SALE TIME..."DAIG PA ANG MAYAYAMAN"...

ehem...i guess i'm just "SALE-PHOBIC"
