Coincidence or Copycat?

I have been listerning to some of my friends complains about another colleague....
It seems that there is a copycat in my office. There is this one colleague of mine that has been blatantly copying the fashion style of another colleague of mine. Bags, clothes, pendants, etc....
And my friend was quite upset over it as our colleague will then try to pass off her purchases as 'originals'. That is, she brought it before my friend got it.
Don't believe me? Here's a recent conversation between the two of them that I have overheard. Oh, before that, this conversation is about a bag that both of them got.

Colleague: ' Eh..... Your bag is same as mine!'
Friend: 'Izzit? When did you get it?'
Colleague: ' Oh..... Long time ago... Erm.. About 2-3 months ago bah'
Friend: ' Chey..... I got this somewhere in Jan'
Colleague: 'Is it? How come I never see you carry that bag before?'

The thing is that my friend bag was not exactly in pristine condition. Well, the bag is white in color and my friend bag is showing some grey. You know... when things have been use for sometime there will be signs of wear & tear. It's quite obvious that my friend did have her bag for sometime... And here my colleague was trying to pass it off as my friend is trying to fake her purchase. What is she trying to proof? It's just a bag.....
I told my friend to just ignore her & to think positively. My words to my friend? Her fashion sense is so good that people are following her!! Hahahaha

Anyway, I was checking my friendster & in my colleague profile, there is a link for her blog in blogger!! That is quite a surprise as she is already using friendster as her blog. Out of curiosity, i went to check out her blog. And she is using the same template as me!!!! Argh..... I'm quite tempted to change my template as well. But after some serious consideration, I'm couldn't bother to change it. After all, we are using template provided by blogger. So unless I master more about blogging, I guess I will just take that as a coincidence & not change my template.
