Of Slimmer Wallets

As I said yesterday, I will be spending my first salary for the people who made that first salary possible. So I did.

I treated Mamie, Dadee, Kuya, Ate, and Iyhan to dinner tonight. It was just a simple go out: we went to Technohub and ate at KFC, and afterwards got some frappes at Starbucks. I didn't feel the burden of spending my money since I was decided that that was for them, and not for me. The feeling was an eye opener for me being a spendthrift to an almost negative degree. I spent my money for my family without thinking of the things that I wanted to buy for myself. The peace and happiness that I felt in doing that was as a matter of fact, priceless.

If only Nanay was still with us, I'm sure she will be proud.
