I can't believe I'm such a sucker. BUt I am...please learn from my lesson, even if you're not likely to do such a stupid thing as I have. I ended up getting a much much more expensive contract for my phone than I expected, but I didn't check while I was in the shop and before I signed the stupid thing. Man am I a loser! No one can get stupider than this. Plus, I was signed up for some extra services I don't need or want. Those I can cancel for a fee, but I can't cancel my 2 year contract or change it to a cheaper one...thank God my mum's understanding about it and told me to treat it as a learning experience and also not to make rash decisions or make decisions when I'm upset or in a bad mood, cos I'd be especially vulnerable. This mistake of being impatient and thinking I am always right has proven to be a real weakness in my life. I have to be more wary and discerning, especially since I am by myself now. I need to ask around and take my time to make decisions...not jump into them. This verse I read this morning really sums it up: "The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice." - Proverbs 12:15. I should've listened to my dad and waited, but instead a phone was more important to me than listening to good advice, so I've got to pay for this lesson. But I thank GOd for an understanding mother. So...I have to really watch my expenses and not spend more than necessary. But well, at least I've worked out a plan on how to minimise my monthly phone bill and other expenditures. Hmm, actually it may turn out to be a, well, relatively good thing in terms of helping me watch my expenditure in other areas. Ah well, expensive price to pay, but better now than later, like when I buy a house or car or something. Good thing it's also a phone contract and not some magic stone ruse or something! So somehow I get something in return, though not much.
