Charity Bands or Whatever They're Called

Usually brightly coloured. Rubber and one size fits all, maybe except kids. Oops, sounds like i'm describing something else. Wasn't intended, talking about those charity wristbands and nothing else.

I first heard about them from N, a friend who worked for Starbucks. He's really passionate about his job there and he had one on. Then J wrote about it in her Blog. Then i saw them it being sold at McD, my favourite fastfood (i LOVE their spicy chicken). I bought one yesterday.

And then i bought three today (Saturday)

To me it is a fashion thing. And i get excited over fashion. In addition to thatm, i feel sooo good about myself juz cuz part of what i paid goes to charity. Then i feel bad about the fact that only 10cents of the RM2.90 i pay goes to charity because I should donate more, blah blah blah, the conscience.

Still, at 2.90, it's the cheapest wristbands around. U can get 3 for 10 dollars and that would seem like a good bargain, but if u calculate properly, McD has the best prices around. I'm gonna buy a few more.

But i'll buy one or two from Starbucks, since i heard all 5bucks paid goes to charity. Even if it'd burn a hole in my pocket, but it's for charity blah blah blah. I'll just better make sure of what i heard.

Lols, yes, i buy them coz they are cheap too! I remember reading one of the surveys u did on friendster, the one where u say that u buy clothes that are nice regardless of their brands and prices. and u mentioned that ur friends think that ur sungai wang or sumwhere pants are frm topshop. guess what? I'm like that too!! In fact i'd be happier if the gorgeous pants that I'm so in love with is cheap one, then at least i get to buy them and still have money for other stuff! ;)
Another thing in common huh? *grins*

Hahahahah, Cheryl! Oh my God, serious!!?? And i can't believe u remembered that. Haha. Ya lor, so true, might as well use the cash to get more stuff rather than buy ONE expensive item and die saving right???

But sumtimes do u ever think u've got a good bargain and then end up seeing everyone with the same shirt?? I avoid Giordano, but BodyGlove's becoming like that too. =(

Hey, thanks for commenting so much =) I'll love 2 read ur blog if u'll allow me access. Hehe
