"The Socialite. (Cruelty at it's best)"

I am not a Socialite! To be honest, I am running out of cash after my salary. Thank you bills and payables for killing me every 5th and 20th of the month!

Oh yes, I remembered that even my Aunt accused me of being a "socialite" because of my  delectable palate when it comes to clothes, fashion, foods and places to go.

Maybe it's because I am a wide reader (though I hate books so much) and saw these different 'where to go' 'where to be seen' and 'what's in' 'what's hot or not' section of these magazines.Screw her! Just because I don't eat Sauteed crunchy delectable swamp cabbage marinated in soy sauce or even fish paste and sprinkled with crunchy onion chips (in other words: Ginisang kangkong sa bawang na may bagoong na pinasosyal ko lang ang pangalan.) it means Am I a socialite already?

Yes, sometimes I go to Starbucks if I have the right budget at the right time. But most of the time I drink 3in1 coffees, what's the use buying Starbucks when they're still caffeine anyway? I mean, some people are funny. They post pictures of themselves drink coffee with their different gadgets such as laptops and celphones inside this coffee shop. (Oye! Oye! Don't you think so? Guilty? Not me!).  Remember, it wouldn't make you a socialite even you bathe and marinate yourself with Starbucks, okey? 

Dude, I tell you. I even go to Quiapo just to haggle Ukay-ukay's for P10 or P30. (If any varmint vendors would raise their prices, I am sorry but I have to leave the scene. My pants are from Ukay! My clothes are from Ukay! Does it mean I am socialite? No. Social wannabees don't wear clothes from the dead! (Lol!)

While everyone wants or have these babies (Steve Jobs - R.I.P.) that costs over a thousand bucks to be exact just to show off their families and friends that "Oi, ako na ang naka Ipod, ako na ang sosyalerang palaka na kumokokak sa gitna ng gabi habang umuulan ng malakas".

Me? I still have this one. An old N70 - where you can actually use this as 'pangkaskas ng halo-halo or pamalantsa habang umiinita ang charger at old school ang pixels.'- I don't care!

Take note: If you're blessed with a good looking face (ahem!). Kahit 200 years old pa yang phone mo. Panalo ka pa rin. Habang kung mukha ka namang Rottweiler o T-rex, walang kwenta yang tag P20,000+  mong gadget kahit mag pout ka pa ng mag pout dyan na mukhang isda. Sakto?

It's incredible, how some people called me a "Socialite" - flattering but truth is... I eat crack pan de sal sometimes courtesy of some bakeries in Mandaluyong.  YES, Bakery. From Monay, Ensaymada, Spanish roll etc are my friends there. I see to it my budget's just P20. I can't understand why you have to go to the mall and buy some expensive breads for P40 alone. (Baket? May powder ba yan ng ginto na sobrang mahal? Eh tinapay din naman yan ah! TI-NA-PAY! TINAPAY!)

Okey, you can catch me here everyday at Shangri-La Mall, EDSA. Not so "socialize" but to pass by when I go home in the afternoon. Tell me, why do some people don't like to go here? Just because this mall is for the Alta Sociedad only? I don't think so. There people around the grocery area that would purchase Chiz-Curls and Mineral Water only para lang may masabing binili nila dun!

I love ISETANN Recto and I go there everytime after I visited Quiapo Church. Oh yes, I am indeed a socialite! Lol! Compared to Shangri-La, Air conditioner is much 10x colder here. (Another Lol!)

             Well then to stop those gossips, I am not a socialite, am I right my Lola Imelda?
