Shopping glee

     What do you think first when you have to define the word of shopping in 100 words? If you are a woman or teenage girl, surely you have millions ideas to share. Shopping is related to a woman activity, because women is identified by her style from top to toe. Style of a woman shows her characteristic, her way to caring herself, until her life-style. That's an unwritten rules which fit to ourselves as women being. Indirectly, we can say that shopping is a woman destiny.

      In my opinion and based on my habit, shopping is a blissful activity which drives our body to work, starts from a heart and right side of brain, there are much positive energy and fully happiness when enter a mall, then left side of brain which thinking while calculating about how much money I spent to buy some cute things based on budget, and a healthy powerful body to walk around the mall from under ground floor to the top of the building mall. Shopping combines a healthy body, a spirit and blissful feeling, and detailing eyes to search the best quality things we'll buy. Feeling so happy and proud like a winner of prestigious competition when we find a cute, great, and cheap things. Moreover, it is the one which we dream for long times.

    Shopping is an activity. A person who is doing the shopping is a shopper. There are 3 types of shopper. First is a window shopper then second is an effective-shopper and last is prestige-shopper. Window shopper is a person who loves hang-out in a mall but she isn't buy anything. She's just doing a window-shopping in one shop to another and when an Sales Promotion Girl (SPG) offers the product, she asks to her about unavailable product at the certain shop. Most of them are faking shoppers. An effective-shopper is a person who knows about what she need rather than she wants. She can make a shopping activity become effective and efficient matters from timing to pricing. She has been functioning in the best possible manner with the least waste of time and effort. So, she'll shopping if she needs something to provide her basic life needs, satisfactory and economically. The last is a prestige-shopper. She is the most productive shopper and consumptive consumer. Her mind always upgrade to some update fashions and the most modern life-style. She has never been absented to visit a new huge mall especially in her hometown. When she goes to mall, her eyes and heart are never be stopping to beat, search, and buy many cute things. She feels so less in her life if there's no paper-bag or plastic-bag to bring when she left the mall, whenever she bought kinds of unneeded things, put them off with the price-tag still hanging on and she forget them. For her, shopping is just an happy routines activity to satisfy their desirable feeling with spending much money. Is she such a rich person? The answer could be yes or no. Yes, if she is a success entrepreneur or she has a rich husband or rich parents or she is one of a boss in a company or maybe she is the owner of that company. No, if she is a faking rich person with many credit cards inside her purse, when the credit card has reached the limit, she'll open the new ones then get to be in debt again. Firstly, she can pay it with punctual payment but as time goes by and an amount of bill rose up, she didn't know how to pay it off, like dig a hole-pile up another hole.    

       Shopping needs a fully charged energy because from the first we enter a mall, we have to walk around until drop. Then, we choose the best eye-catching things we love. But, we have to realize there's some positive and negative sides of shopping activity. The provider of mall influences people to visit their mall with kinds of promotion like comfortable place with colorful shining and relaxing atmosphere, warm greeting, one-stop-shopping experience, and mostly is the interesting sale up to 70% in every tenants. The provider knows that every woman, couldn't resist of the sale encouragement. Even she's not a materialistic, but from the deep of woman's heart, once she'll go to buy that sale product. If woman couldn't control her shopping habit, it'll be a negative for her life now and soon. As a coin side, when there's a bad, there's always a good matter. The positive shopping side is the enjoyable atmosphere when we hang-out with friends to mall then refresh our mind from a hectic life and an interesting sport activity when we walk around a big mall from parking until the top floor then back to parking area again.

     I am a combination shopper which loving window-shopping while being an effective-shopper, but I am not a prestige-shopper because I don't have and don't need a credit card to buy something. I don't want to have credit card bill and be disturbed with annoying call from bank every time. Based on my journey to analyze shopping activity from the typical of shopper to the plus and minus sides of shopping, what category have you been on your shopping life habit? 

       Be a smart shopper, guys! Life isn't worth for just being an addicted shopper. Future financial plan is more worther than spending money or paying credit card bill because of too much shopping.
