Even at the height of his popularity, TA the miser knew no bounds that even friends were aghast – like when he would shamelessly ask for discounts at fast food restaurants even when fans and customers craned their necks to catch a glimpse of him. Sometimes these fans made him feel ill at ease that he would want to get out of the restaurant asap, yet could not because he would still want to wait for his loose change.
Even his kids are supposedly not spared from his tight fists. Before TA buys them anything, he would seem to count like more than a hundred times before he gives in, because he said that by doing so, the chances that he will regret the purchase are nil.
A source said that TA went to a gadget store in a high-end mall to buy himself a pricey cellphone unit. Just before the warranty expired , TA went back to the store to say that there was something wrong with the phone.
The Head of the Store HS happily assisted TA. After checking on the phone, TA was told that it would be fixed and he was given a turnaround time to claim it back. However TA requested if it was possible for HS to be the one to deliver the gadget to his house, then gave HS his address. HS was hesitant at first but realized that TA's house was within his route on his way home so he agreed. Days after, HS delivered the phone to TA. He was overwhelmed by TA's big and beautiful abode.
TA looked and inspected the phone and looked satisfied. Soon after, HS had the shock of his life when TA handed him 20 pesos for fare on his way home.
HS was in utter disbelief that he could not contain himself - till the morning after.

DeleteSa hirap ng panahon ngayon kahit sino kailangan mgtipid
ReplyDeleteSana lugar naman sana... Ang pag titipid!Hindi yung sobra sa OA na!=)
Deletekala ko kuripot na ako eh malala ang pagkakuripot nito di makatarungan ibang level at ako mahirap lng eh sya mayaman na naman
ReplyDeletegood morning.. kakagising ko lang fp kaagad. hahaha!
ReplyDeleteMorning FP
ReplyDeletemabuti nga sa kaniya na-Luz Valdez! sa kakuriputan hinahabhab ang na titipid mukha na tuloy manas!
ReplyDeleteThis is former kaF... husband of C.
ReplyDeleteisa lang naman ang aktor na sumikat nang husto nung kabataan nya. at known tlg siya sa pagiging KURIPS. kaya nga na t eh. walang pakimkim.
ReplyDeleteBrand of d.
ReplyDeleteButi nalang pala d materialistic c pretty wifey... oh well... mga kids kay mommy nalang kayo magpabili baka kse walang raket c daddy eh. ;)
ReplyDeleted ba napakalaki ng signing bonus at tf nila dun?
DeleteNaging ganyan sya kasi there was a time sa career nya na na-laocean deep sya dahil gumawa siya ng kamilagruhan at nawalan sya ng projects. Hanggang sa pinulot sya sa kangkungan at nirepackage at bumongga na uli career. Kaya masyado syang kuripot just like Z. Nadala na sila at naging maingat na sila sa pera nila. Yun nga lang sumobra ata.
ReplyDeleteMga artista di steady ang earnings. Pag nawala na sila sa limelight, talagang hikahos sila gaya ng mga nababalitang naghihirap na laos na artista. So tama lang maging masinop sila. Pero yung pagkakuripot me limitasyon. Kung merong na-aagrabyado eh hindi tama.
DeleteAgree ako sa yo ng bonggang bongga, anon 7:17.
Deleteme too
Deleteyuck! kulang pang pang meal yung P20. kaloka!
ReplyDeleteJusme. Nakakaloka! Baka naubos sa k. Lol
ReplyDeletehirap naman neto..wala akong idea... :(
ReplyDeletesi A
ReplyDeleteSo what is wrong with 20 pesos? HS should have specified the delivery charge when he agreed to deliver the phone to TA, if they charge for delivery. Otherwise HS should be happy with whatever amount he got.
ReplyDeleteKonting gratitude naman. Hindi niya trabaho ang magdeliver. Alam ko yung store na yun, you have to claim the gadget yourself sa store mismo. Nakakababa ng pride ang 20. Talo mo pa ang beggar.
DeleteSobrang kuri bordering on swapang.maybe he just doesn't want to end up like his cousin.
ReplyDeletewait..... bankrupt na ba si cousin???
DeleteSobrang kurips naman siya...Ung parttime house cleaner ko nga may allowance sa pamasahe na 50 pesos eh 30 lang naman ang balikan niya. Di masama ang magtipid...Iba ang nagtitipid sa nagkukuripot...Ung 20 pesos na bigay sa HS, nakakainsulto naman un...Sana di na lang tinanggap..
ReplyDeleteGuess ko, morning to.
---nababahang mudra
dko ma gets? help plssss..
ReplyDeletebasa ka ulit sa taas, andun na ang clues
DeleteWawa naman yung HS, laking abala na yung ginawa ni TA.
ReplyDeleteSino po ito?
ReplyDeleteeh mahirap ang buhay ngayon noh? seriously kung maubos ang pera mo, sino tutulong sayo? diba wala kundi sarili mo lang
ReplyDeleteKorek!
DeleteKayo naman, masinop lang sa pera niya. Bente pesos 2 sakay din sa jeep iyan or isang ride ng tricycle. Take note na sabi sa BI, along the way naman ang bahay ni TA sa route pauwi ni HS. At palagay di naman nag jeep or tricycle papunta doon si HS kasi siya ang may ari nung tindahan ng gadget. Ang pagkakabigla lang siguro ni HS ay bakit siya binigyan ni TA ng beinte pesos na tip. Di na iyong halaga ang iniisip ni HS kundi iyong binigyan pa siya ng tip samantalang alam ni TA na siya ang may ari ng store.
ReplyDeleteTama ka, masinop lang. Kasi kung siya ang me ari ng tindahan, ano ba naman as part of marketing to accommodate ang isang big time client. At saka along the way, di naman along the riles so why not?
DeleteSiya ba talaga may-ari nung store? Sabi kasi head lang. Baka siya ang nagma-manage.
DeleteMas ok na kuripot at matipid kesa naman sa mga feelingera na mayaman wala naman talagang pera!
ReplyDeletePasouvenir ang bente ata
ReplyDeletewow nakakainsulto naman yung 20pesos,wala man lang konsiderasyon!sana binalik ng nagdeliver yung pera ,para mainsulto si kuripot
ReplyDeletepano kaya nate-take ni wife yung kakuriputan nya. Kawawa naman si wife, maganda pa naman.
