simple and gold

October 17, 2009

Simple. My high school classmates said I was different from my group because I was simple. I hadn’t understood then what they meant. I see all of us the same way. We were all just kids.

My mom always used to complain why I do not wear jewelry when I attend events and why I do not wear makeup during these parties. I prefer not wearing any jewelry, even a watch. Partly because I was very active as a child, I always lose them, and I was constantly reminded of the value of what I’ve lost. But generally I just don’t like dressing up and accesorizing. I am more comfortable with my slippers. Besides, when you wear big gold necklaces nowadays, people either say you worked in Saudi or need a colon cleanse for your hepatitis. haha.

But I do not mind if I can have some pieces of gold bullion. On a conversation on what to wish for from a genie, one said a wallet that never runs out of money, and another said an endless supply of gold coins (was it you, eks?) and gave pretty good economic reasons why it is better to have bullion than money (which I cannot remember now, but i checked this helpful site on gold coin)

And if that genie grants our wish, life would become a bit simple.
