About #2 Doc, yung guest dapat umalis ng di nagpapaalam.

aw ganun pala yun, parang nakakahiya naman umalis ng di nagpapaalam

Most of the palengkera na mayaman na kilala ko kuripot at low profile. Kahit mga kuko mukhang hindi alaga sa mani/pedi. Maybe because they started poor and worked hard for it, kaya di basta gastos.

sabagay, lola nga ng bestfriend ko though di palengke business uber low profile din kasi galing sa hirap (tipong kumukha ng kanin baboy sa neighbors).

kailan ka naging angel :-P

I've always been one

^mukhang kinakain naman nya bro kasi when we went there may mga mamon sa living room coffee table hahaha
pero judging from the way he dress and their home, mukhang pa low profile nga lang. kaso na offiend yata nung inaabutan ako ng pera (10k) di ko tinanggap. nagalit ate ko kasi offensive daw pala yun, nag agree si gf. kaya pag may nagbigay ngayon tinatanggap ko na.

You declined abuloy? Of course the person will be offended. Siya lang ba nag abuloy sa pamilya niyo for you to think that it's not normal to give money? One of the things my Mom told me is to give as much as you can when it comes to abuloy because that money will be useful (read shadow's reply)

Mabait yung Uncle mo. He may be kuripot pero sa abuloy hindi siya nag kuripot

Nice tip Cathy, I'll try this, I like Hungarian too but haven't found an off the counter brand that can match those from restos.

Generally iwas ako sa brands other than Purefoods and the likes, but if you say you like Virginia, then it must be good. [emoji8]

It's good enough for its price. I think lumalabas P50 per piece. Virginia has good hotdogs too I turbo it lang, it's soft on the inside pero yung casing(?) is still the good kind of chewy

All abuloya should only be spend sa mga gastusin sa lamay. Kahit gaano pa kalaki sobra hinde mo pwede i-saved.

Yup! When my maternal Lola passed away, it was quite magastos because we had to fly her from the US to Manila. They also required a metal casket to fly her which was quite expensive. We really appreciate the abuloy because that was spent for the food of the visitors and other expenses.

Well maybe it's just a chinese thing, alam mo naman mga fil-chi, daming iniisip hahaha, for example magpapaalam ko na umalis, ano ang sasabihin mo, d ba like "o ma una na ako", it's like saying daw na "mauna na ako sa patay"[emoji43] hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣

i'm heard stories of legendary kakuriputan among the really well-off: One had the audacity to invite everyone to eat out, pero KKB pala; one took home a tray of food meant for guests at a lamay; there's one that habitually raids the kitchen for food that hasn't even been served to other guests. Kanya kanyang sayad lang i guess.

Oh, that's not being kuripot. BARAT na tawag dun.

===
Being thrifty is ok in my book. Kasi admittedly, kuripot ako LOL.

Yung barat (miserly or stingy) eh maling pagtitipid na.

Examples: yung examples ng naka quote na sa taas, to the point medyo bastos na yung ginagawa.
Another example: Yun bang gutom ka na sobra, you have cash or a credit card in your wallet naman, but magapapalipas ka pa ng gutom to eat at home 2 hours later because you don't want to spend...

we're talking about lamay right?

sa chinese di pwede magpaalam when leaving a lamay

di ka pwede ihatid ng family member ng namatayan sa exit

you just get up and leave

Agree. It's not a handout (as far as I see it sa family namin ha? Don't know sa iba).

"Symbolic" yun (token) of the person's sharing of the grief suffered by the relatives of the person who passed away.

Yung loss of a loved one cannot be quantified in material terms kasi, so (as I see it) the person giving comes up with the closest thing (money) as an expression na "nawalan din ako", I share in your sorrow.

The more "conservative" among us don't even view the deceased lying dun sa coffin. I never asked why may practice na ganun.

Yes. Half, actually, 3/4 because it's my mother who is 1/2.
