How i wish i wasn't as materialistic as i am right now. Back in the day, i would hear my old folks say that i'm "ambisyoso" and that i'd normally want the grandest of things.
I don't know if this is brought about by the fact that i never got to experience luxury when i was a kid. I would always get hand me down stuff from clothes to toys to books. My mom and dad weren't the best of parents so my kind-hearted aunts and uncles took me and my siblings under their care. In all of my extended family's affairs, i was always the sabit so i never asked for the extra special stuff to spoil my wants. Nakakahiya naman na. "Be thankful that you get all your needs already", that's what i said to myself.
I envy those who can live a very simple lifestyle. My professor in college once told us that rich people became rich because they lived a simple life. In this world full of insecurities, struggle to fit in, and status symbols, how do you keep yourself away from the expensive society? And in this world where the latest trends become a necessity, how do you keep your life simple?

Guilty ako...materialistic din ako minsan, sa situation ko right now ( you know what i mean ):) parang lahat ng bagay na gusto ko, binibili ko na. Kaya siguro minsan pinipitik ako ni God hehehe
Basta ang pera ginawa para gastusin di para itago or ipunin! Lolz
sabi nga ni madonna: we are living in a material world.... kaya we are material girls! ;)
Self-confessed material gurl here.
But i know where to draw the line.

My aunt is the epitome of affluence without showing it. She floats in cash but never will you hear her say "i bought this Prada bag" or "I got myself a new necklace."
Those things, I learned from her.
and you will learn it from me. ^_^
oks lang maging slightly materialistic, huwag lang maging inggitero! ehhe
e di sa LS lalo na nahirapan ka mag fit in. e doon maririnig mo mga usapan, tara let's go out this weekend, pucha akala mo pupunta ng cubao, yun pla sa Hongkong ang yayaan, bwahhaha :P
delayed gratification. isn't that nice?
guilty din me for being materialistic and was too darn too late to draw the line pero now nakakakembot na ako ng simplistic living. ching!
pareho tayong minulat sa ganun, na pinalaki sa hand-me-down kaya minsan naghahanap ng mga bagay bagay.
darating din siguro yung time na makukuntento tayo sa maliliit na bagay. :D

if you can spend, then go. walang basagan ng trip.
ang masama, yung wala na ngang panggastos, echosera pa kung makapaghangad ng kung anik anik. para makaiwas sa gastos, magkulong sa kwarto at gumawa ng milagro buong araw. haha
