i had a list of things i wanted to buy once i got my salary from my last job. i think i'm pretty happy with the stuff i bought for myself, but i wouldn't say those have been my best expense. i've recently become a firm believer that the best things we can buy are not plainly products or services, but experiences. mid-september to late november has been the most exciting part of my year, not just because i can afford all sorts of things i usually have to wait and save up for, but also for the presence of the people i would like to spend my time with.
ngayon broke na ulit ako and i've never been happier.

my broke ass
Hello. i wrote that in November 27, 2024 and gusto ko lang dugtungan.hindi ko pa nabanggit noon na si Elle ang pinaka nakakasama ko sa labas which means doon ko nagastos ang pera ko sa mga lakad namin. i always wanted to be able to have a budget to use especially when there is time to spend with people i want to be with. i believe that our "getting to know each other" stage became more special due to the freedom to do cool stuff without letting any more time pass. and we didn't spend a lot every time we were outside. it's just that i had been broke for a long time before getting work and it all felt like a breath of fresh air, but that might just be how life is with Elle.
Hello. i wrote that in January 25, 2025 and tatapusin ko na talaga for real
nung naging broke na ulit ako, it felt like a mixed bag. part of me wondered where all my money went, part of me wished na binudget ko ng mas maayos yung pera ko, and part of me no longer cared about the money. nung naging broke na ulit ako, i felt like an era of my life has just ended. nakatikim ako ng buhay na nakakapag trabaho ako at nagagamit yung kinita ko para sa sarili ko. i felt very accomplished and proud of myself for making all of that happen. the experiences i "bought" may get lost in my very shitty memory, but all the emotions they've made me feel have already changed me forever. i don't mind being broke for a while if it means that i spent my money on what made me truly happy. i can't wait to work and earn more. i hope whatever job i get next is something i'm also passionate about and i hope i can spend my earnings on something worthwhile.
ngayon mga simpleng bagay lang pinatutunguhan ng pera na naiipon ko. i don't get too much money to spend, but i haven't needed to splurge a lot on anything naman. endless money is something that's nice to imagine, but i can go with having enough for everything i'll ever need.
