Luxury goods do give temporary thrill and elation but die off in no time. Levis, LV, Gucci, Chanel, Puma, Juicy Couture, etc... sounds sophisticated and rich just owning them. People look at you differently and naturally rank you with a high societal status. But what's the use? Face value? Higher chances of mingling with people of high social status? Make yourself feel and look good?

All that is not necessary for me. I will never soak myself in luxury goods even if i have the means to. An occasional splurge is fine. But not on all items. If you know me well, i prefer maintaining a low status. Branded goods? Nah, i don't need them. What i truly desire is comfort. Take my clothes for instance. Although they are mostly unknown brands grabbed off the shelves of large retail stores, i'm contented with what i have.

Luxury goods aren't needs i can't live without. They are wants i can do without. I was gushing over the Juicy Couture watches on display just last month. But i never once held the intention of satisfying this want of mine. There is no doubt Daddy would buy me one if i truly wanted it. But no... i already own a watch which i had on for the past 8 years and is still in good working condition.

But today, i received my birthday present shared among 5 good friends of mine. An Adidas watch. The exact same one which sis wanted. Haha... I was pleasantly surprised. They unknowingly satisfied this want of mine and what amused me was the fact that i happened to type "watch" under my blog's lifelong wishlist just last night. What a coincidence. So am i to strike it off now? Lol.

Family to satisfy my needs, friends to satisfy my wants and all i do is receive. Ok... this is so not true. Trust me. Just the devil in me poking fun. I think i'll be damned if i ever hold this thought.
