Here I am always sensing my parents’ disappointment in me but I just find it right back to them. Bah, who am I kidding, I’m going to always be the bigger disappointment. Sorry in advanced to the boyfriend for another upset/sad entry. I’m always blogging when I’m sad. I don’t know.
 
Anyways, my dad has a serious spending problem and he doesn’t want to hear it. He finds joy in dropping massive amounts of cash on a singular item. It’s just funny, too. My mom goes on about the greed and shallowness of most individuals of Asian decent. They only care about the brand and being on top. Who cares about price?
 
I think that’s a lot of people but that’s what she says.
 
But yes, she married my dad. My dad is a classic case of a Filipino man who wants to be above the rest even in technology he doesn’t fully understand
 
While a normal person would be happy to adopt another 47” flat screen (yes, another) into their house but when a family of six are living in our one bedroom basement and people are losing jobs and money all around, I just can’t help but feel bad about it.
 
It’s like any complaints are basically, “WHO’S PAYING FOR YOUR TUITION?” so maybe I should back off of judgement. Normally, my mom would be backing me on it because she’s the one who instilled these ideas in me but yeah, she basically said she gives up. Maybe my dad can single-handedly fix the economy. I kid.
 
I’m so judgmental. I do have stuff I don’t need … But I guess all I’m saying is that I’m still content with my 14” analog television set sitting in my room. I don’t have my converter yet but it’s ok. I don’t really care about brands. As long as it fits, I’m pretty pleased. Oh well, me, my itty bitty TV, and $3 tanks will be gone soon enough. It’s ok. Also, Kid, You’ll Move Mountains CD release at the Metro tonight?

  1. dang di, you took the image of greedy filipinos straight out of my mind… i don’t understand why every filipino is trying to outdo each other out… and you’re right, it is sad. oh and advance happy birthday! it’s on friday, isn’t it? _ – heleina
