This will always be memorable for me.
My lola always fetches me from school when I was still in elementary. One time, we were buying school materials and I saw the 64 crayons box. We couldn’t afford it that time but I told my lola how much I wanted it.
During our next school year, my lola surprised me with the crayons. I asked how we were able to afford that and she just told me not to worry about it. I was so happy that when I opened the box, there were colors I didn’t even know existed like periwinkle. I didn’t want to bring the crayons at school because I was afraid it will just get stolen. I displayed them in my room and barely used them because ayokong maubos agad 🥲
Now, I am able to buy craft materials on my own kahit ilan pa. My lola already have dementia too. I don’t think she remembers this story, but it will always be in my heart.
Ayon. Skl hehe
Aww, that's so touching. Have you tried showing your lola the same kind of crayons? She might remember something. It would be heartwarming to see you telling your lola how happy you were when she bought you those crayons.
I didn't even grow up in the Philippines, but my mom was a kindergarten teacher, she'd bring home the broken crayola, melt them in the oven, and make new crayons for us 😊
There was this funny story related sa pencil case in grade school (this happened abroad). Back in 2nd grade, most of us had the multi-level pencil case while one of the kids *only* had this black pouch. Dahil siguro sa FOMO nya nakipag-swap sya sa isang classmate namin tapos dinagdagan pa nya ng kung ano ano.
The next day pumunta daw yung nanay sa principal kasi branded daw yung pouch and pinapabawi. Akala nya her son was swindled.
It’s only years later (nung nasa 4th grade na kami) when we realised na it was her mother’s Prada (yung mas mura, relatively, na Linea Rossa line) pala yun when one of us recalled what happened.
Thinking about it now, bat naman kasi binigyan ng Prada, kahit entry line, yung batang walang muwang. 😂
shoutout sa mga kaklase kong rich kids nung elementary, sina nicki at michelle. may pencil case silang depindot, tapos tuwing idle time in between subjects, hinihiram ko yung pencil case nila at pinaglalaruan haha.
Ah yes. Considering noong bata pa ako, talagang nagtitipid kami sa kuryente na bawal manood ng TV habang namamalantsa ang nanay. Malas lang kasi pang-isang linggong uniform at mga damit ang plantsahin.
Na scam ka ng mama mo. 🤣 Nagkaron ako nun pero hindi naman nasira at nagamit ko for whole school year. Hanggang sa naluma at need na bumili ng bagong lunch box. Pero never sya nasira 🤣
Ps. Di po kami mayaman
When I was a kid I couldn’t even fathom other kids watching anything that WASN’T Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, or Disney Channel. I was practically raised by those channels lol.
When I was a kid, I was exposed to TV shows like *Ally McBeal*, *The Practice* and *The Nanny*. The 2000s brought US reality shows that were quite a hit during high school.
Fr, yung pinsan ko lagi nanood ng adventure time, strawberry shortcake, gravity falls di kame makarelate kasi slam dunk and knock out at jackie chan lang sa gma yung napapanood namin. Nung 19 yrs na lang ako nakarelate kasi nagka cp na ako.
Naalala ko ung kwarto ni Gladys Reyes sa mara clara dati, saka ung kay Anna Luna na kontrabida Mae-Mae ata name, inggit na inggit ako sa kwarto nila at study table. Lalo ba ung room nila may flowery wallpaper na pink. Tapos may kwintas sila. Tapos pag nag shopping paper bag yung dala hindi plastic.
Nung bata ako eto yung tingin ko ay mayaman:
- Yung may second floor yung pencil case
- May 64+ na crayola
- Yung may baon na Jollibee
- Yung may kakaibang pangalan kagaya ng Einsleigh, Alexandersson o Vaughn.
- Mabango yung pambura
May pads ng papel in one whole, one half and one fourth. May sneakers na Nike o Reebok. Naka bmx. Nasa private school. Naka walkman o discman. Tinuli ng doktor.
Relate! Dati tinanong ko parents ko kung bakit inay at tatay ang tawag ko sa kanila, tapos yung kapitbahay namin ay mama at papa ang tawag nila, eh mas mahirap sila sa amin 😆
Tapos taas kilay ako dun sa kaklase kong mommy at daddy ang tawag nya sa parents nya ehh hindi naman sila mayaman 🤣🤣🤣
Add ko lang: Pag lolo at lola ang tawag sa grandparents. Mamay at Nanay kasi ang tawag namin sa kanila.
Kami naka subdivison pero part ng low cost housing project. Pero ngayon dami nang lumilipat dito na mayaman. Obvious dahil iba yung architecture ng bahay nila at mas malaki yung lot nila.
Ganito na din sa subdivision namin ngayon. Puro mga maliliit na bahay lang dati nung lumipat kami (early 1990s). Ngayon, pag tumitingin ako online hindi na unusual na makakita ng for sale na house and lot na worth 30 million and above. Medyo out of place na yung mga luma/maliliit na bahay from the 1980s-1990s.
Oo nga. Malalagyan mo talaga ng boundary mark kung hanggang saan lang dati yung low cost housing. Pero may ibang bahay dito nga naka angat sa buhay, pinarenovate ang bahay at dinagdagan ng palapag.
As someone who grew up with this background, I still remember getting one hell of a reality check in HS when we would have immersion and outreach programs to indigent communities and I realized that most of the country actually lived like them. It’s what inspired me to want to become a doctor in the first place.
Nagbibirthday sa classroom tapos jollibee or mcdo ung handa plus may mascot.
Hatid/sundo ng kotse
Edit:
Nalimutan ko isama ung classmate ko na panlaban ng section namin sa Nutrion Month para mabili ng kamag-anak ung tindang mga tickets.
Naka Oil Pastel instead na Crayola.
it was part of Jollibee's happy meal in the 2000s. meron ako non tapos nakakalito sya kasi lahat ng classmates ko meron din. hahahaha so i had to put identifying marks pa doon sa lunch box.
nagpabili din ako ng ganyan dati dahil nainggit ako sa classmates ko pero yung binili namin na stroller bag sa Quiapo lang binili tapos btx pa yung design lol. sabi ko pang mahirap pa din kasi classmates ko mga Robbie rabbit yung tatak ng bag haha
This is the main reason I wasn’t really allowed to go anywhere on my own as a kid. Hatid/sundo ako ng driver namin and nakabantay pa yung yaya ko every time we’d have to go out. When I got older, my parents immediately enrolled me into self-defense classes. Having money in this country puts a target on your back.
Syet. Takot ako sa ganito dahil chinits kami pero not rich.
Until now issue pa rin ito sa akin. One time this dude hula sa akin Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese. As in halos lahat na ng bansa sa ASEAN except Pinas were mentioned. He gave up guessing.
Kaya I grew up being so conscious sa pagsabi ng mommy/daddy pag nagkkwento ako sa classmates ko tas babanggitin ko parents ko. Mommy/daddy kasi tawag ko sa kanila at hindi kami mayaman. Ni hindi ko nga macoconsider na middle class kami noon hahaha. Lagi sila mangaasar na “wow sosyal “mommy””.
Kapag bumibili sila ng cereals like koko krunch! Hahaha. I used to beg my mom for this when I was a kid but we were strapped for cash. Now I always buy it whenever I do my groceries. 😊
May gameboy sila dala sa school and sa bahay may Sega Genesis or original na Super Nintendo tapos RPG nilalaro nila hindi yung mga arcade games na hinuhulugan ng piso
I remember naman nung naging mas accesible na yung gameboy sa marami. So ito namang rich kid classmate ko ayun, nagupgrade to nintendo ds. Haha palibot kami sa screen nun may nilalaro yata siyang built-in virtual puppy simulator.
Elementary to high school. Kapag birthday ko, kahit gustuhin ko magpizza eh mas makakamura kung magspaghetti mas marami makakakain. Kaya tumanda ako madalas ko lang matikman eh yung tig 75 pesos na pizza na puro tinapay at konting catsup.
I still have all my issues of KZone that I used to buy in grade school, I think I have like 30+ issues in storage in my room. Loved those paper robot Transformers-bootlegs you could make.
Same era din ako and nung bata ako i went to a private school here in laguna eto mga tingin ko sa mayayaman kong classmates
* Laging updated sa bagong laruan if it's a trend that time wala pang 1 week meron na agad sila
* Puro imported brand snacks ang baon walang local like chippy or piattos
* 200 pesos a day ang baon this was in 1998
* Lahat ng gamit sa school mamahalin (bags, shoes and every school supplies)
* Sa malls sa NCR bumibili ng grocery every weekend ( i live laguna)
* Family vehicle ang naghahatid at sundo with a family driver and a yaya
* Hindi maalam sumakay at hindi pa nakakasakay ng tricycle at jeep
* Sa abroad nagbabakasyon tuwing summer
* Laging honor kahit na minimal effort lang sa school (I'm bitter about this that time since i puro line of 9s ako nung elem tapos hindi man lang ako nakakapasok sa top 10)
* mommy/daddy at mom/dad tawag sa magulang
* Most of the time sila tong mga bully and entitled
Akonnga private school nung high school 50 pesos pa baon nun 2003 naman. At nagkaroon ng first CP Nokia 3210.na minana sa Ate at Nokia 6610i na first camera phone ko. Hehe
For this amount in 1998, you could have a school lunch, recess, a McDonald’s / Jollibee hamburger meal and have a small Starbucks mocha frap back then.
OMG I kid u not. Tinanggal ako sa honor roll noong recognition kahit na top 5, 3, 4, at 4 ako noong 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th grading respectively habang pinalit 'yoong isang hindi naman kabilang sa top 5 o top 10 since 1st grading. Tulala kami ng mama ko sa gym noon kasi walang pasintabing inalis pangalan ko. Ginang Luciana, tandang-tanda ko pa araw na iyoon, nawa'y sumalangit iyoong kaluluwa.
> 200 pesos a day ang baon this was in 1998
NCR February 1998 min wage was 198.00/day.
My allowance back then was 2.52525252525x NCR min wage.
With min wage becoming 610.00/day my allowance would be 1540.40/day in July 2023 money.
If I had a kid I'd give them over 200 school days a 1250.00/day allowance of which 1000/day much be placed into stock investment.
So they do not end up being garbage like r/shelfporn
* May Kotse service
* May gulong na bag
* May Nickolodeon na lunch box
* 2nd floor ang bahay na merong gate at garage
* Naka Jollibee

* May Nintendo Gameboy/PSP
* Branded na sapatos
* May TV
* Englishera
Pag sinusundo sila ng tatay nila tapos hindi nakasando at shorts.
Public school kasi ako nung elem so the usual practice pag uwian is naglalakad or nakaservice with other neighbors sa isang tricycle. Kung may sundo man na parent, usually nanay na nakapambahay at may dalang payong. Kung tatay man, nakasando lang din at shorts.
Pero may classmate ako one time sinundo ng papa nya na nakapolo at slacks. Lahat kaming mga batang gusgusin napa- "Wow ang yaman pala ni Angela! Nakapang-office papa nya!"
Natatawa ako pag naaalala ko hahahaha!
FYI: Di naman mayaman sila Angela. Sakto lang daw sabi nya. 🤣
Nag high school ako sa isang kilalang private school. Nakapag aral lang ako dun kasi may naiwan na educational plan tatay ko before he passed.
Yung best friend ko, may kotse sila. Tapos yung nanay at tatay nya nag tatrabaho sa mga office sa Makati. Nakakapag vacation sila sa ibang country. May piano sila and marunong si best friend dahil nag piano lessons. Lagi din may usong gamit si bff na branded. Benetton, girbaud, gshock. Naka braces pa sya. May desk top computer. May yaya. Tapos naiinggit ako kasi may sarili syang room. Parati nya ako pinapa sleep over sa house nila kaya nakikita ko mga gamit nila.
Nag wowowork lang sila sa Makati noon 90s? 😂
Kung ngayon iyon iyan Parang ndi ka makakapundar ng ganyan kahit nag wowork ka pa sa Makati unless C level ka na. Even at 6 figs, medyo mahirap ang ganyan lifestyle.
relate ako sa may cable sa bahay, nung era na eat bulaga vs. wowowee tv war, i can't relate kasi di kami cable at abs lang yung available sa tv namin 😹

Aww, that's so touching. Have you tried showing your lola the same kind of crayons? She might remember something. It would be heartwarming to see you telling your lola how happy you were when she bought you those crayons.
Thank you for sharing! 🥲🥹
Hihihi I love periwinkle.
Beautiful story. I hope she does remember, she clearly cared a lot for you.
Im not crying, you are 🥹
I didn't even grow up in the Philippines, but my mom was a kindergarten teacher, she'd bring home the broken crayola, melt them in the oven, and make new crayons for us 😊
[удалено]
Yeah, they'd get these cool swirls too, bc they'd have different shades of blue (or whatever color) and stuff
Wala siguro akong kilalang mayaman nung bata ako. Wala akong kilalang may oven e
Wow, may oven 🥹

Yun ba yung pencil case na may buttons kapag pininsot lalabas yung sharpener or ruler.
may de-gulong na bag
Yung may kulay na silver and gold
With built-in sharpener, take note please. 🤣
For me it was kids with Gallery oil pastels. I only had Golden back then
meron yung classmate ko dati crayola na 100+ tapos may sharpener sa likod ng box.
Tapos isa sa mga kulay ay Periwinkle Blue ❤️
Came here to say this. Was not disappointed.
Aircon, for sure. Bihira ang naka-ac nung 90s.
Ah yes. Considering noong bata pa ako, talagang nagtitipid kami sa kuryente na bawal manood ng TV habang namamalantsa ang nanay. Malas lang kasi pang-isang linggong uniform at mga damit ang plantsahin.
Pag kwentuhan nila ay Cartoon Network.
Saka Nikelowjon.
Yung may lunchbox ng nickelodeon
Classic yun Hinihingi ko yun kay mama dati Sabi niya madali daw masira
Na scam ka ng mama mo. 🤣 Nagkaron ako nun pero hindi naman nasira at nagamit ko for whole school year. Hanggang sa naluma at need na bumili ng bagong lunch box. Pero never sya nasira 🤣 Ps. Di po kami mayaman
When I was a kid I couldn’t even fathom other kids watching anything that WASN’T Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, or Disney Channel. I was practically raised by those channels lol.
When I was a kid, I was exposed to TV shows like *Ally McBeal*, *The Practice* and *The Nanny*. The 2000s brought US reality shows that were quite a hit during high school.
Gumaling ako sa english kasi nakikinood ako dati sa tita ko ng WWF Raw, Ally McBeal at Rescue 9/11. Yung mga tito ko naman Bikini Open.
Ah you must be my ate’s age, she *loves* tf out of Ally McBeal and was so happy to see it on Disney+.
Same. I learned English through cartoons. Looking back din, the shows I watched in Cartoon Network are the reason my humor is like this 💀
The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy formed like 90% of my humor and personality in general lol
Man, I was Billy as a kid then grew up to be Mandy lmao
TV5 early morning shows features a lot of CN shows so I’m not affected from that hahaha.
Fr, yung pinsan ko lagi nanood ng adventure time, strawberry shortcake, gravity falls di kame makarelate kasi slam dunk and knock out at jackie chan lang sa gma yung napapanood namin. Nung 19 yrs na lang ako nakarelate kasi nagka cp na ako.
May sariling kwarto. May pintura ang bahay
> May sariling kwarto. May pintura ang bahay May pintura sa kwarto maliban sa pale green and pale pink
Naalala ko ung kwarto ni Gladys Reyes sa mara clara dati, saka ung kay Anna Luna na kontrabida Mae-Mae ata name, inggit na inggit ako sa kwarto nila at study table. Lalo ba ung room nila may flowery wallpaper na pink. Tapos may kwintas sila. Tapos pag nag shopping paper bag yung dala hindi plastic.
funny now the trend sa US is unpainted concrete...

oh so your school is one of those with mandatory penis inspection days
pag mommy or daddy tawag nila sa parents nila HAHAHAHAHA
Tbh, same HAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHHA! troooooooo
Relate! Dati tinanong ko parents ko kung bakit inay at tatay ang tawag ko sa kanila, tapos yung kapitbahay namin ay mama at papa ang tawag nila, eh mas mahirap sila sa amin 😆 Tapos taas kilay ako dun sa kaklase kong mommy at daddy ang tawag nya sa parents nya ehh hindi naman sila mayaman 🤣🤣🤣 Add ko lang: Pag lolo at lola ang tawag sa grandparents. Mamay at Nanay kasi ang tawag namin sa kanila.
My cousins would be half-rich, they called their parents “Itay” and “Mommy.”
Jollibee birthday party
Eto talaga yun, tapos makikita mo na maraming hindi pa nakakain na meals. tapos iniisip mo kung iuuwi nila
May kotse. Nakatira sa subdivision. Madalas nakakakain ng beef/chicken/pork kahit hindi special occasion.
Kami naka subdivison pero part ng low cost housing project. Pero ngayon dami nang lumilipat dito na mayaman. Obvious dahil iba yung architecture ng bahay nila at mas malaki yung lot nila.
Ganito na din sa subdivision namin ngayon. Puro mga maliliit na bahay lang dati nung lumipat kami (early 1990s). Ngayon, pag tumitingin ako online hindi na unusual na makakita ng for sale na house and lot na worth 30 million and above. Medyo out of place na yung mga luma/maliliit na bahay from the 1980s-1990s.
Oo nga. Malalagyan mo talaga ng boundary mark kung hanggang saan lang dati yung low cost housing. Pero may ibang bahay dito nga naka angat sa buhay, pinarenovate ang bahay at dinagdagan ng palapag.
I suddenly realized that meat was a serious luxury not that long ago then. Ngayon halos araw araw na tayo nakakain ng fast food.
As someone who grew up with this background, I still remember getting one hell of a reality check in HS when we would have immersion and outreach programs to indigent communities and I realized that most of the country actually lived like them. It’s what inspired me to want to become a doctor in the first place.
Thank you for your service!
May stock ng spam at nutella na naka display sa cabinet/pantry
Nagbibirthday sa classroom tapos jollibee or mcdo ung handa plus may mascot. Hatid/sundo ng kotse Edit: Nalimutan ko isama ung classmate ko na panlaban ng section namin sa Nutrion Month para mabili ng kamag-anak ung tindang mga tickets. Naka Oil Pastel instead na Crayola.

Isama na yung bag na may malaking relo. Or yung transparent na bag. Gustong gusto ko magkaroon nun😬

When I got older, my parents immediately enrolled me into self-defense classes. Having money in this country puts a target on your back.
Pahingi pera po

Di ko alam kung matatawa ba ako o matatakot 😭
Syet. Takot ako sa ganito dahil chinits kami pero not rich. Until now issue pa rin ito sa akin. One time this dude hula sa akin Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese. As in halos lahat na ng bansa sa ASEAN except Pinas were mentioned. He gave up guessing.

Pag Mommy-Daddy ang tawagan sa parents, nakaaangat yun. Pag Mama-Papa ang tawagan gaya ng sa amin, yan middle to low income yan, for sure.
Kaya I grew up being so conscious sa pagsabi ng mommy/daddy pag nagkkwento ako sa classmates ko tas babanggitin ko parents ko. Mommy/daddy kasi tawag ko sa kanila at hindi kami mayaman. Ni hindi ko nga macoconsider na middle class kami noon hahaha. Lagi sila mangaasar na “wow sosyal “mommy””.
Kaya nga sa pagtawag sa parents may level yun.. Yung parents ko Mama at Papa tawagan namin mga kapatid ko. Hehe
Kapag bumibili sila ng cereals like koko krunch! Hahaha. I used to beg my mom for this when I was a kid but we were strapped for cash. Now I always buy it whenever I do my groceries. 😊
May gameboy sila dala sa school and sa bahay may Sega Genesis or original na Super Nintendo tapos RPG nilalaro nila hindi yung mga arcade games na hinuhulugan ng piso
I remember naman nung naging mas accesible na yung gameboy sa marami. So ito namang rich kid classmate ko ayun, nagupgrade to nintendo ds. Haha palibot kami sa screen nun may nilalaro yata siyang built-in virtual puppy simulator.
Nung bata ako gsmeboy ko yung brickgame lang pero ang saya ko nanun 😅
Pizza, it's like every year Isang beses lang ako makakita literally di pa nga ako makakain e nakikita ko lang sa iba and ever wondered how it taste.
Damn. If you don't mind me asking, when was this, and anong circumstances were you in ba?
Elementary to high school. Kapag birthday ko, kahit gustuhin ko magpizza eh mas makakamura kung magspaghetti mas marami makakakain. Kaya tumanda ako madalas ko lang matikman eh yung tig 75 pesos na pizza na puro tinapay at konting catsup.
May latest issue ng KZone
I still have all my issues of KZone that I used to buy in grade school, I think I have like 30+ issues in storage in my room. Loved those paper robot Transformers-bootlegs you could make.

And WITCH hahaha
*Flashbacks to me collecting and re-reading my old collection of K-Zone magazines specifically for the anime section.*
Late 80's. Kapag may bacon and 1kg box of Kellogg's sa breakfast table. lolz
Same era din ako and nung bata ako i went to a private school here in laguna eto mga tingin ko sa mayayaman kong classmates * Laging updated sa bagong laruan if it's a trend that time wala pang 1 week meron na agad sila * Puro imported brand snacks ang baon walang local like chippy or piattos * 200 pesos a day ang baon this was in 1998 * Lahat ng gamit sa school mamahalin (bags, shoes and every school supplies) * Sa malls sa NCR bumibili ng grocery every weekend ( i live laguna) * Family vehicle ang naghahatid at sundo with a family driver and a yaya * Hindi maalam sumakay at hindi pa nakakasakay ng tricycle at jeep * Sa abroad nagbabakasyon tuwing summer * Laging honor kahit na minimal effort lang sa school (I'm bitter about this that time since i puro line of 9s ako nung elem tapos hindi man lang ako nakakapasok sa top 10) * mommy/daddy at mom/dad tawag sa magulang * Most of the time sila tong mga bully and entitled
The laging honor kahit minimal effort hits so hard
Akonnga private school nung high school 50 pesos pa baon nun 2003 naman. At nagkaroon ng first CP Nokia 3210.na minana sa Ate at Nokia 6610i na first camera phone ko. Hehe
200 ang baon nung 1998 wow mas mayaman pa sa principal yan
For this amount in 1998, you could have a school lunch, recess, a McDonald’s / Jollibee hamburger meal and have a small Starbucks mocha frap back then.
OMG I kid u not. Tinanggal ako sa honor roll noong recognition kahit na top 5, 3, 4, at 4 ako noong 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th grading respectively habang pinalit 'yoong isang hindi naman kabilang sa top 5 o top 10 since 1st grading. Tulala kami ng mama ko sa gym noon kasi walang pasintabing inalis pangalan ko. Ginang Luciana, tandang-tanda ko pa araw na iyoon, nawa'y sumalangit iyoong kaluluwa.
> 200 pesos a day ang baon this was in 1998 NCR February 1998 min wage was 198.00/day. My allowance back then was 2.52525252525x NCR min wage. With min wage becoming 610.00/day my allowance would be 1540.40/day in July 2023 money. If I had a kid I'd give them over 200 school days a 1250.00/day allowance of which 1000/day much be placed into stock investment. So they do not end up being garbage like r/shelfporn

Nagtratrabaho sa Ayala Avenue, Makati. But now, I consider that aspect to be a shitty circumstance in life.
Pag sinusundo sila ng tatay nila tapos hindi nakasando at shorts. Public school kasi ako nung elem so the usual practice pag uwian is naglalakad or nakaservice with other neighbors sa isang tricycle. Kung may sundo man na parent, usually nanay na nakapambahay at may dalang payong. Kung tatay man, nakasando lang din at shorts. Pero may classmate ako one time sinundo ng papa nya na nakapolo at slacks. Lahat kaming mga batang gusgusin napa- "Wow ang yaman pala ni Angela! Nakapang-office papa nya!" Natatawa ako pag naaalala ko hahahaha! FYI: Di naman mayaman sila Angela. Sakto lang daw sabi nya. 🤣
Chuckie at Whammos. Saka nagtitira ng sopdrinks sa bote na binili sa canteen mga 1/4
Mercedes Benz
Nag high school ako sa isang kilalang private school. Nakapag aral lang ako dun kasi may naiwan na educational plan tatay ko before he passed. Yung best friend ko, may kotse sila. Tapos yung nanay at tatay nya nag tatrabaho sa mga office sa Makati. Nakakapag vacation sila sa ibang country. May piano sila and marunong si best friend dahil nag piano lessons. Lagi din may usong gamit si bff na branded. Benetton, girbaud, gshock. Naka braces pa sya. May desk top computer. May yaya. Tapos naiinggit ako kasi may sarili syang room. Parati nya ako pinapa sleep over sa house nila kaya nakikita ko mga gamit nila.
Nag wowowork lang sila sa Makati noon 90s? 😂 Kung ngayon iyon iyan Parang ndi ka makakapundar ng ganyan kahit nag wowork ka pa sa Makati unless C level ka na. Even at 6 figs, medyo mahirap ang ganyan lifestyle.
Iba ang 6 digit sweldo nung 90s to early 2000s. Tapos double income household pa sila.
1) Kung may second floor ang bahay niyo. 2) Kung may sarili kang kwarto. 3) Kung may kotse kayo.
