you know you're poor if..
Late this afternoon, I went malling with judy... then on our way home, we passed by a woman with loads of groceries. Then judy started to talk about how grocery had been a big factor in her life. She always thought that they were rich cause she was able to get the things that she really like. I, then, started to talk about how poor we were.. Of course, we're still not rich but we're not that poor anymore. I remembered saying to Judy that-- It's hateful to be poor. heheheeh... Anyway, You know you're poor if:
1. Your mom takes back all the things that you have thrown in the grocery cart.
2. Your mom taps your hand so you won't be able to wave for a taxi.
3. Your mom threatens to leave you with the saleslady because you want her to buy you that toy.
4. Your mom lets you sit on her lap so that she would just have to pay for one person.
5. Your classmates uses branded notebooks and you use one with Manilyn Reynes as a cover.
6. Your friends go to Europe for vacation and you can't even go to Cebu.
7. You just have to settle for hand me downs.
8. You always pretend you are rich.
9. You daydream of becoming rich.
10. You social climb. Hehehehehe...
Anyway, now that I have work... I can buy things and be not afraid that Nanay would leave me with the saleslady. I can buy anything I want in the grocery without her taking it out of the cart... Actually, sometimes its things that she picks out thats being taken out. Bwahahhahaha! I get to ride the taxi whenever I need to and whenever i got the money to spend. Uhmm.. I'm not saying that we're rich... in fact we are still poor and we still have financial difficulties. The only difference is that, we are grown ups now and we're able to have simple indulgences that life has to offer.
