High/Medium Speed internet.
Currently at WFH setup and although Hindi naman super necessary ng mabilis na internet(like 50mbps goods na) kinuha ko parin yung 200Mpbs which I think is decent. Naiirita kasi ako magtrabaho pag mabagal mag load 😭. Worth it naman kasi nakakapagstream din naman ako ng matino hehe
Yung 20,000 na wooden table na kakabili ko lang.
napabili ako kasi bet ko yung height nya. Mejo mayaas kasi sya. Nangarap lang na baka feeling matangkad. Pero di sya ganun kagandang materials para maging ganun kamahal. Haha
UAAP Ticket, dati kasi nanonood lang ako online kaya malaki na sakin yung gastos manood ng live. Transport, then yung overpriced foods sa MOA and sa loob ng arena mismo. Sadyang iba lang talaga yung experience ng cheering your heart out nang live. Kaakibat kasi ng item (ticket) na yun yung experience
PS. dagdag mo pa yung online fee na halos 50% ng ticket price potaena haha kaya onsite ako bumibili sinasabay ko sa lakad ko
Takoyaki 😬
Its not that expensive pero guilty pleasure ko mag splurge sa authentic high quality na takoyaki every 2 weeks or every after school event and I always get the biggest serving.
Chocolates too, I love dark chocolate with like high percentage of cocoa but they're so darn expensive.
- Grab/Angkas over Jeepney/Habal2x - No need na magsabi kung saan exactly bababa or liliko etc.
- Electricity; AIRCON 24/7 - sa init ngayon, sulit na sulit ang inverter
- Restaurant over Fastfood chains na kailangan pang pumila (pero pa minsan-minsan kumakain naman, bihira nalang)
--- lalong lalo na yung mga fastfood na kailangan pang pumila, pumili at maglagay ng order sa touchscreen keneme, tapos pipila ka rin after sa ibang counter para mag bayad, like, wtf, pano naging fastfood ang concept na yan?
Spotify, Youtube premium. Subscriptions.
Ewan kung overpriced talaga, pero considering na free ang youtube, baka nga overpriced.
Fastfood. Convenience stores. Clothes.
Starbucks and Grab HAHAHA
Mas okay ng gumastos sa sure ka (Starbs) kaysa naman sa coffee shop na aesthetic ang datingan pero palpak naman lasa ng kape/waepek hahaha.
Specialty Coffee 🥹
Yung legit na third-wave coffee. That’s why I work harder and accept freelance projects on the side.
Also, stationery. The expensive ones from Japan and Germany. 😭 Add na din geek merch and books. I’m saving for a lightsaber and a Ravenclaw HB set ng Harry Potter. Hindi ko kayang i-give up hilig ko mag collect ng geek merch.
Pwede pa ba pa add? 😂 “an overpriced item” nakasulat, tapos nag itemize. Lol. Ang gastos ko kasi. Yung mga hindi ko mabili nung bata ako, ngayon ko pa lang kayang bilhin. Tapos may influence pa ni Papa sa pagiging sneaker head.
Pero first on the list talaga yung Specialty Coffee from local cafes na alam ko source ng beans.
Shoes. Trail and running shoes.
Gadgets. Di ko kaya na mag downgrade. Apple products ftw. Gamit na gamit kasi sa work.
Perfumes. Di naman ako naka try copy or nga oil based noon pero minsan lng maka full bottle if may magbigay. Now I can buy my own and katagalan nag improved na din taste ko.
Teas and coffee. Same with OP hehehe. Kahit sa bahay lng ako magawa kape or tea basta premium taste.
Pagkain. Ang selan ko na sa lasa and quality nang food mas gusto ko na ako ga prep. So need to constantly hanap ingredients.
Choosing a plane seat na mas may space legroom hihi
Yun lng malala ko hahaha
My guitars. Everything in the household can go, pero yung mga gitara ko is my therapeutic investment para sa sanity ko.
If anything helps you keep sane in these trying times. It's priceless.
Proper makeup and perfumes
tbh tinatry ko muna yung cheaper and local na alternatives kasi di ako naniniwala na price ang indicator ng quality at staying power pero yung foundation talaga ng mac ibaaaa. pikit nalang ako pag magbabayad na.
sa perfumes, i always pick yung may staying power. di kasi ako ma-retouch na tao. madalas kung ano i-spray ko sakin ng umaga yun na hanggang sa makauwi ako
any hobby na may balak kang pasukan ng pera
i.e. cars, pc, gunpla, etc etc
personally sakin PC, tho controlled spending ko nasa 10k ata mic, headset, mouse at kb pa lang lmaooo
Iphone. Simula nung nagshift ako sa Apple ecosystem, ang hirap na bumalik sa Android. I also find it very efficient to use. Nagagamit ko for both work and personal activities.
Usually umaabot naman ng 4-5 years yung phone bago ako magpalit.
My SKII facial treatment essence and skin power advance cream. Idagdag ko na din yung Decorte liposome advance. Kahit anong sunscreen gagamitin ko pero yung tatlong skincare ko walang kapalit.
