Bad decisions make good stories. And I always have a good story.

Cashback and travel offers with ShopBack

Not sure if you have heard of ShopBack, which is basically a website that gives you part of your money back when you shop online. Sounds too good to be true? That’s what I thought at first too!

I was recently invited to try out ShopBack and give a review, but actually I’d already used it earlier this year. Was really amazed and impressed because it worked like magic. I got 15% of what I spent back which is really a lot!

Anyway I decided to join ShopBack because they work with more than 300 merchants, many of which are online websites that I visit and spend a lot at, such as Book Depository, Zalora and all the travel websites.  These are just some of the more popular ones:

So how does online shopping with ShopBack work?

Basically, it’s really simple:

1. Create a ShopBack account (with bank details so that payment can be credited)
2. Click on the store you want to shop from on ShopBack’s website

So let’s say I wanna shop on BookDepository. I look for the store’s listing on the ShopBack website (can use the search tool or navigate under ‘Categories’) and click on it.

I’ll be redirected to a screen to inform you how much you can get back from the merchant/store and then taken to the BookDepository website itself. Then you can just shop normally, make the purchase and pay as usual.

ShopBack is able to automatically detect everything and you’ll get e.g. 2.5% (differs for every merchant) of how much you spent back in your ShopBack account within days!

P for procrastination… and pain

Got a super super important pitch tomorrow but somehow I’m doing everything except preparing for what I plan to say. From playing Neopets to trying Instagram stories to carrying my hamster… and now this. Ooops.

A tech website published a viral article about you today and even my friends are sharing it so your face is on my feed which got me thinking about stuff again…

Watched Nerve and Train to Busan today, both of which I really enjoyed. Besides the good-looking leads, breathtakingly beautiful setting and underlying social commentary, I like Nerve also because sometimes it’s all about being reckless, getting out of your comfort zone and simply having fun for yourself.

Have definitely gotten out of my comfort zone a lot this year, what with all my special assignments and presentations at work, as well as my awesome solo trip.

Being reckless (without endangering lives, of course) is so underrated… especially when you will never be younger than you are right now. And sometimes, you’ll not have a second chance again once the moment passes you by.

At a point where I feel very self-sufficient (for now anyway) but I guess it’s normal to still want more… things you don’t really need but would still be nice to have.

I knew from the start that being with you was very, very reckless. Some might even say stupid, though I don’t think so. What do they know about how I feel anyway? I didn’t want to end up in regret and thinking about the What Ifs for not having done or said something.

Somehow when I think about you these days, it’s still the hurt and pain that linger on my mind more than anything. Was it always like that? How come the thrill, exhilaration and short bursts of happiness that I once felt pale in comparison to memories of never-ending tears, being mistreated and despair?

But we were happy once, weren’t we? Even if we both knew it would never go anywhere. I don’t know about you but sometimes I liked to pretend that everything was normal and conveniently not think about anything that threatened to disturb the self-constructed bubble I was in. It was easier that way… until I couldn’t fake it anymore.

I always wonder if you still think about me the way I think about you. Deep down I know the answer but I hope you do anyway, even if it’s fleeting.
