Hidemi's Rambling Oct 30, 2009

I was going to do some last-minute Halloween shopping at the nearby shopping mall, because they usually had a discount sale for Halloween items around this time of year. And I noticed it was the 30th today. The mall has a discount sale on the 20th and the 30th every month, exclusively for the customers who have the mall-issued credit card. So, the place is packed with shoppers on those two days like weekends. For my entire adult life, I have avoided crowded places because I can't stand a jam. As a result, I had no choice other than giving up going there. Besides the jam, I am not even the card holder. Why? I am not qualified on account of lack of a steady income...
