Purchased out of Earnings from What I’ve been up to
August 25, 2009These things are not a lot nor are they big ticket items that deserve being displayed in public. It’s just that I’m happy to have acquired these things off the sweat of my brows. I’m a stay-at-home Mom and to be able to earn and buy a few things is an achievement for me, not really a big achievement for others, but to me it’s an achievement nonetheless.
Nope, not quite the real thing, it’s actually just an iphone clone with an authentic-looking iphone case. Still a touchscreen phone without having to cost an arm and a leg.
I was also finally able to replace a ten-year old plyboard bedframe out of my freelance writing earnings and I even bought myself a new computer chair to replace the old stool I was hunching over to do my assignments.
Again, I know these items are not much. I used to be employed as a junior supervisor and was used to earning more than enough to spend 3 or 4 times more to buy ”better” items. But back then, it just didn’t felt like an accomplishment as it does now.
Maybe it’s because not having a lot of money makes one more appreciative of the things that can be bought with whatever little money he or she has.
Yeah, I really think that’s it because I’ve never appreciated 25-cents or 1 peso coin more than I do now.
