A true Humble People

I have noticed that real people with money are so down-to-earth, humble for short. I know some that are not so noticeable but the fact is they are loaded and yet they don't have to tell the whole world whereas the people who have little are the one who mostly brag, like myself for instance, lol. I think part of it is I appreciate every little things I have. But I don't brag too much too. Bragging can sometimes be used in a nice way but has to be consider the lemitations too.

Anyway, I have a friend over here who has a brother that lived in America for 17 years already. They came to visit her last week and went shopping to Harrods and Sloanne Square in London. And were too shock how easy for them to spend money in buying signature bags in just a matter of minutes. I was like "WOW" is that too simple for them? Goodness me! Louis Vuitton! OMG! It cost £2000 plus and they actually bought two. According to the husband's they are like that every year. It's one of their collection or hobby to buy at least 3 to 5 pair of signature handbags a year. How nice! Don't you think so? Well, they are only pure filipino but has been expose to fashion industry since they were only in their mother's womb as they own a popular boutique back in Philippines.

So, for them branded stuff are only ordinary things. But I can't really tell because they are are too simple people and not much of a brag. Imagine, their children's clothing are mostly Burberry, Channel, Prada and many other big brands in world. Whew! Make me shivers all day to think that buying a £2K plus handbags is just as easy as buying a tin of sardines. I wonder when I can do that without waiting a big clearance sale. [LAUGH]

Hi Haze! Thanks for dropping! That is so true, you know people who belong to the "old rich" are humble while some of those who belong to the "noveau rich" are arrogant or braggarts. I work in a call center catering to people from the UK and that would include other nationalities living in the UK. And I have spoken to Princesses, Prince, Knights, Lords and they are the sweetest people on earth. But those who have not much money in the bank accounts are so arrogant but of course I give no preference I still help as much as I can. I just wonder why that is so. Money should not make people arrogant it should make them wise and more humble because whatever comforts we enjoy now are gifts from our Almighty. So share your blessings Haze send them to me hahaha just kidding! I like your honesty sa mga articles mo! Goodluck and take care always!

ay oo, yung mga mayayaman na hindi halata, so true kasi ganun mother in law ko, mayaman sila sa pilipinas pabalik balik sa states every year but yet you don't see her kasi most of the time she wears her lumang clothes pag di sya ng ooffice at saka matipid sya super! maglalabas lang ng pera pag may nangangailangan talaga, she only wears formal clothes pag nag wowork sya, nagulat nga kami ng mommy ko kasi you don't really see na mayaman sila eh.
