Hehehehe JC, masyadong mayabang ba ang dating? Idiomatic lang yun. It doesn’t mean I have all the luxuries to tell the people what I owned. My priorities is to save & help my family out. But even if you have the luxury, end of the day you’ll ask, “I’ve bought everything I could ever need and want, now what?” Panis diba? Hindi kita na miss kasi di mo ako na treat sa McDo. hahaha.

Asha, you still remember? That freaking ferrero murdered my tooth. Anything sweet, pass them on to me.

Dez, HAHAHAHAHAHA yan na naman ang UKAY. Naalala ko older sister ko mahilig sa MAC make up brand, tanong ko, “makikita ba sa mukha kung anong brand ang gamit mo”? Sabi nya, “depende kung marunong kang tumingin”. Malay.

Duke, the weather proves that kahit walang snow dito sa HK, it’s the month of “gift-giving”. Gifts is no longer a noun - it’s a verb, Gifting. It’s a routine na ata that occurs throughout the year for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, housewarmings and holiday occasions, such as Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Valentines Day, Easter. Christmas in HK may not be as good as how we celebrate them in Pinas pero I still prefer a beautiful Christmas, for me it’s the “Thanksgiving” matters the most. Miss ko mga pagkain sa atin. Pero tama si Madonna.

Range, KINDER.. is that the egg-shape chocolate and when you open it, there’s a tiny toy inside? I’m not certain.

Hi there Polaris, yes our parents taught that when we were kids and Thanksgiving gave me all this realization to Thank God. That’s what it is all about and haas always been about. It’s not about the turkey, squash or sweet potatoes or pumpkin pie. It’s about celebrating all that God has done for us. Right? Thanks again for the visit.

Vina, hahahaha. NO. I stopped, smoking again. I stopped and then again I smoke, like once in a while now. Slowly getting there but no worries comes January next year, I will be Zero nicotine. Kaya?

Airwind, bata dito sa HK mas advanced ata, yung environment kasi mas malaki ang influence sa kanila. Shopping malls around here are everywhere, madali kang matukso, lalo na sa mga bata, kahit sa 7-11 very accessible sa mga bata ang bumili ng kahit ano. Yung pokemon pang asar yun, kumpleto sila ng characters.

Neko, in a very sense yes that’s true. But then again, as the world becomes so virtual and digital, we spend proportionately less on basic necessities and more on things based upon our emotion and desire. And we feel satisfied, partially because of these. I hope I’m wrong.

Wengistein, everything sweets, I won’t complain. Mars bar was my first chocolate that I really really love when I first came here in HK.

inthesity, I swear when you’re broke, it feels like the world is 3 times heavier. But it’s more heavier when you have loads of plastic and you pay the bank back 3 times higher as well. So cruel eh?

Charles, sometimes I would prefer the quality vs the quantity. I have bought pairs of Giordano underwears and I thought ok, they are cheap for a dozen but compared to the CK’s or HUGO’s, after few laundry washes, the GIO’s can easily rolled few inches above my knees whenever I pulled my pants off in our locker. Hahaha.

i used to worry about brands. then i found out that my identity can still be met (and more often times more so) by unbranded, unique clothing. mostly fueled by the joys of discoveries in Divisoria and Ukay.

i love that no one would be able to find what i’m wearing. hehe.

I’m a cheapskate and only go for things that i can afford.. bleah!

I stick to my brand - Cadburys way to go…

Hmmm, talking about chocolate reminds me of your toothache.. the one on ferrero rocher? Haha… Have a happy week ahead K.

Now I realised why sometimes whenever I go out, I’d like to wear something to be seen because I simply want the world to know that it is an Armani shirt I’m wearing - because my identity lies in the image that goes with it. Ang yabang!

Diva talaga ito…hahahaha! basta ako, i want people to see ME. yun lang. (walks out) Chos! hahahahaha! namiss kita, k!!!

insightful post, k! i sometimes see myself in kids - stomping my foot on the inside whenever i don’t get what i want. but the truth is, given our standing before God, we don’t deserve anything. when this thought hits me, i realize that whatever i have is a gift from Him and it then becomes easier for me to be grateful. happy thanksgiving!

I go to the family mart and get some Kinder chocolates. Haven’t seen any Cadbury’s yet.

First of all, I like your header design. In the spirit of Christmas, santa claus is coming to town!

It’s quite easy nowadays to find instant gratification on material things. They give you that certain “high” feeling. No wonder people call shopping now as “retail therapy”.

Don’t you think Madonna said it all right in her song ” ‘coz we are living in a Material World…”
