• Being the "frugal asian" that I am (mom doesn't like me saying "cheap asian"), I went to Publix where there were a ton of buy one get one free's and bought a ton of food. My freezer is on the verge of exploding, and I can't think of going hungry anytime soon .

  A friend of mine is giving birth soon, so I bought some stuff for her to send .  I just hope things will work well for her.  Her birthday is coming up too.

  Poor/homeless people who approach me in parking lots scare me so much.  At Target, a man approached me and mumbled a bunch of stuff.  I felt really bad because society must be pathetic because we can't even trust one another.  Back in the days, they had songs like "Brother can you spare a dime?" or something like that, and people actually weren't so distrustful.  On one hand I'd like to be helpful and believe that he geniunely needed help and would use the money I gave him for gas money as he said.  On the other hand, I feel guilty for paying him to go away.  On one foot, I can't help thinking that the money is going to something like beer or drugs.  He did look somewhat emaciated.  Either way, he didn't harm me, other than scaring me.  I only gave him a buck, but chances are next time I'll try parking closer to the entrance and look around before leaving the building.  O_o.  I hate wanting to believe people but being troubled by seeming naive.
