Ever since I can remember, mahilig na talaga ako sa bags. I like buying bags more than I like buying shoes. Ewan ko ba, napaka-addict ko talaga sa bags.
I remembered when I took the IELTS exams way, way before, there was an interview portion. Mahirap yung interview portion nila, mga bakla ha? Dudugo talaga lahat ng pwedeng magdugo sayo. At first ang dadali ng questions like, “Describe your house”. And then binanatan ako ng “What branch of Science interest you the most?”
Pakshet na yan. Muntikan ako mag-collapse.
Nairaos ko naman pero nahilo ako ng slight. I think the interviewer noticed it because his next question was “Why do you think bags are important?”. Ay winner. Kinailangan niya ako awatin for me to stop talking about bags. After that question, the interviewer told me that he felt I was nervous during the branch of science question but I eased out during the bag question.
Ateng, ang layo naman kasi ng degree of difficulty nung dalawang tanong na yun. Hahahaha!
Anyway, I am thankful because I am able to buy nicer bags ngayon. Dati sa tiangge lang ako bumibili para madami ang pwede kong mabili na bags. Quantity over quality ang peg. Bata pa eh. Wala namang budget for high end bags. I remember pagnagka-Mango na ako na bag, satisfied na satisfied na ako.
Ngayon, naka-raos raos ng konti sa life, nakakabili na ako ng mga Kate Spade bags. I remember Heart Evangelista sa Kate Spade. Dati puros Kate Spade mga bags niyan nung dalaga pa yan. I loved looking at her bags. Sabi ko someday makakabili din ako ng Kate Spade na bag. And then may mga nagbenta ng mga murang Kate Spade na bags dito. Mga tig 10-15k. Binili ako ni Mama. And then napunta ako sa outlet store ng Kate Spade. Hindot na yan. The bags that they are reselling here for 10-15k, you can buy them at the outlet stores for 5-7k lang. Exage. Naghoarding ako. Alvin and Anika cannot forget that day when they took me to the Kate Spade outlet store in Canada. I went inside then went out immediately. I was hyperventilating and there were tears in my eyes. Mababaw kung mababaw na guys, wala akong pakialam. I was overwhelmed because all bags were on sale at 60% off PLUS 20% off pa afterwards. Sino kaya hindi mabubuang nun?! Grabe ang mental math ko. I was computing how much money I brought, how much money I can spend na nasa Pilipinas and or I will ask Wowa to wire money to me so I can buy a lot.
Ganyan ako ka-addict sa bags.
And then I met women who sells pre-loved designer bags. I was able to buy a Balenciaga City and a Givenchy Nightingale. Like I said, there’s nothing wrong in buying pre-loved bags basta sure lang kayo that you trust that person you’re buying from para sure tunay ang bag.
Because I love bags, I made a video of it for the Mommy Fleur Channel. I had to air out kasi my bags so I showed them to you na. Here it is!
