I was scouring shoe stores in TriNoMa yesterday when I chanced upon a woman probably in her golden years in the store Dumond. She looked really sosyal, complete with a casual preppy get up (probably a normal shopping day outfit for her), make up and well groomed hair. She had her Louis Vuitton Speedy on her arm and was looking at some pairs on the rack. As I moved around I heard her say to the saleslady 'Ang luwag. Meron bang size 6? Ang ganda (sa paa) oh.' Then she glanced at me. I smiled at her, sort of saying I agree that the shoes look lovely on her. She continued 'Napaka sosyal. Sigurado ka bang eight thousand toh? Baka naman six lang?' Then we laughed again. I left the store as she continued to appreciate the shoe on her foot. I was so happy to actually see her shop. I'm glad not all LV owners are matapobre. This lady actually qualifies as the real LV lady for me. Defined as: a person who has earned the years and status of a Louis Vuitton. I hate to see just anyone carrying an LV around- que fake or real- basta LV. Meron kasing mga taong hindi talaga bagay mag LV.
Like me...Aside from the money, I recognize that I do not have the right to lug around an LV because I do not live the LV lifestyle yet. AYOKONG MAGING POSER. I will wear the brands I can afford simply because it won't look fake on me. Kawawa naman yung mga tunay na LV kung mapagkakamalan na fake sakin diba. hehehe
So in summary... I think it's all about humility. Wag kang mayabang porke may Louis Vuitton ka na. Alalahanin mo, hindi lahat ng mayaman naka Louis Vuitton. At hindi lahat ng naka Louis Vuitton ay mayaman. I love that lady talaga- she's such a funny, sosyal, down-to-earth lady. I will make my mother a cool lola like her. YAHOOO!
Hayun lang...just another 'thinking aloud' thingy for me.

I remember my conversation with my Ate just this morning when we were window-shopping for corporate clothes. She said referring to an unusual kind of top, "I like buying and wearing clothes like that kasi not everyone can pull that off. Haha." I said to myself, "Loveeettt." True nga naman. Same goes with LV. Not everyone can pull off an LV brand. Haha, I wanna become super rich naaaa hahaha.
EMM! Yes, I have read your blog about your Ate. Sounds like she's successful na talaga ha. Katuwa naman siya!
Me too! I'm excited to earn my own money. I also wanna be super rich naaaa! I PRAY WE GET A JOB SOON. haha

IKR! I think I will take a real break first. As in hindi ako magsesend ng resumes muna. I want to find myself first. (Chos!) Kasi naman noh, pag alam mong may pending resume ka, every waking day you worry if someone will call for an interview. Hindi ako mapakali! HAHAHA
