Why I don’t own expensive stuff

October 4, 2014 by Sheila | A B & Me 4 Comments

My colleagues were discussing something when one of them picked up my sunglasses and asked what brand it is. I said it’s from an online site and it’s not expensive. He looked at me weirdly. See, I know that they like branded stuff so maybe I replied “too” defensively. 😀

He said that it looks good but why was I wearing cheap glasses?

 Well, here’s my reply:

I don’t own expensive stuff because I end up either sitting on them or B would play with it and eventually either one of us loses it. If I only have cheap accessories, then it won’t be too hard when I lose or break it. Right?

Is it just me or does this make sense to you?

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

    Same goes for me. I buy my shades from Splash, and only when there’s a sale. For me, anything higher than 20 riyals is pricey for a pair of shades.

Hello!

Hey there!
We’re a Filipino family of four figuring things out in California after living in Dubai for years. This space is part blog, part memory box—where we share life lately, parenting wins and fails, travels, and everything in between.

Sometimes it’s deep, sometimes it’s funny, but it’s always honest. Thanks for hanging out with us!

Found this gem while sorting through my phone. Thi Found this gem while sorting through my phone. This was taken a couple of years ago, during the pandemic. I always thought it was funny… but when I showed it to Adam again, he finally told me who he was talking to. 😂

It moved me in a different way this time. Because honestly? We do this a lot. We call on God, and when He answers… we put Him on hold.

But Scripture reminds us:
“Then you will call on Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.” — Jeremiah 29:12

If we call, He answers. The question is—are we ready to listen? And when He calls us, are we willing to pick up?

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me.’” — Isaiah 6:8

Yes, God. Here I am.
