All is about cost

It was horrendous how much time and energy we spent on booking this expensive holiday(7 days arguing and searching for a 8 days holiday in Bali costed 12,300 HK dollar. It was extremely draining. It will be the last time we plan our holiday like this. I promise!!! We missed the best offer to travel to our planned destiny and afterward I completely lost in the middle of low cost and good quality holiday. The problem is that once we missed the best offer, there was no way we could get cheaper deal than that or better place with cheap deal. Things are just not perfect any more. I just could not deal with the imperfection and control the damage. It was not entirely true, we turned around to look at other options such as cheaper deal inside China, but that turned out to be disaster as well since I totally underestimated the prosperity of Chinese tourism. It was simply far more expensive than I expected. All is about cost, isn't it? How much you would spend on this and that? too much attraction and seductions of new thing, gadgets, things like ipod touch, things like noise-cancelling earphone, things also like pretty bags, shoes, and even gorgeous looking planner. Oh of course good books, food and others... A lot of mine time now is contributed to calculating the cost of things that I would like to buy and try to watch myself not to over-spend things that I don't definitely need, things like branded clothes, bags or maybe, no, not shoes. Shoes are slightly different story; they have to be comfortable, so comfortableness costs. There I go...
