I dont know how to call it yet but Im trying to start a lifestyle trend which revolves around simple and frugal living. shunning hyper consumerism and focusing on the essentials. Eliminating a life of clutter and waste...I have been quite frugal and simple these past couple of years..low carbon lifesyle too but would like to take this way of life to a higher level..
Im thinking of living a life of "only one good thing"..where in the concept is to only have 1 of everything you need..but is of high quality and style and could last for years and years..as much as possible..
1 good pair of shoes, perhaps 1 leather and one rubber
1 good all around watch..of a good brand and quality..
1 good pair of sunglasses
1 good quality and reliable car
1 good phone
1 good computer
a few good pairs of pants
a few good quality shirts, belts..etc..
a few good, branded, high quality music gear..
so on and so forth..
the object is to keep "STUFF" as minimal as possible..stripped of all those useless--throw away.. junk thats around us to consume and buy..
it is said that buying high quality things will pay off for itself in the long run..and will last years and years..
I am contemplating on selling off all my gear I have accumulated to focus on only a few,good items that matter..
Your thoughts?

matamlay sa AGT sir....

ganito rin mindset ko dati, pero sa dami ng category na naisip ko sa one piece per category, dumami na rin e..
1 pair of leather shoes, pamasok sa office
1 pair of leather shoes pangporma
1 pair sneakers pang porma
1 pair running shoes
1 pair slip on pang harabas
the list goes on....
sus nawala na yung essence ng pagiging minimalist

nice one..in a nutshell minimalist lifestyle..pero of good quality stuff..try ko break down yung items..
matamlay sa AGT sir....
hahaha dami kong topics na naiisip nga lately..anyway..lapit na election! election topics na!
-
ako din...dati di ko pinagpaplanohan pag bibili ako ng gamit, basta meron ako, yun na yun, kasu nung naranasan ko na bumili ng mga may quality na gamit, nagkamali pala ako ng madami nung nag uumpisa pa lang ako bumili ng gamit...dami kong doble dobleng gamit na sira sira na din...now, nag titipid na ako...bumibili na ako ung medyo may quality na talaga...
-
kasi.."you really will get for what you've pay for.."

same tayo, in terms of gear doon ko natutunan to...so gusto ko i-apply sa lifestyle..little by little..sobrang magpayoff in the long run..
naging trend kasi ngayong mga cheap disposable stuff eh..kaya mindset ng tao parang naging ganun nadin..
sa sariling personal effects lang naman pwedeng simulan..
isang example lang.."headphones"...medyo nagbuy ako ng cheaper alternative..mga generic brands..ayun..napabili pa uli ako ng isa pa na dapat sa una palang binili ko na..
kasi.."you really will get for what you've pay for.."
MISMO..totoo..kaya lagi ko na inaadvice sa mga newbies sa guitar central na wag magsettle sa mga clones, copies na guitar na oems..tiis lang ng konti para magsave for at least japanese made guitars..kasi iba talaga eh..

Minimalist Lifestyle pala talaga to..look waht I found:
Living with less, but only with the best.

A Minimalist’s Train of Thought
Less money spent means more money saved
More money saved means the longer you can live in financial peace and security
Financial peace and security comes from owning less
Less stuff owned means less to carry around, move or have to travel with
Less responsibility for your stuff also means less maintenance and more time
The more time you have, the more relaxed you will feel
The more relaxed you are, the less you will care about stuff
If you care less about stuff, it means you’ll care less about image
If you care less about image, you will care more about experiences and memories
If you care more about experiences and memories, you will be happier with less
If you are happier with less, you’ll never want or need for more
The less you want or need for more, the more you will feel free

I'm a very minimalist person. Set your mindset to what you need instead of what you want.

Lessons i learned from my mother:
Live within your means
Never borrow money or be in debt
- also stay away from people who live through their posessions and how they are perceived.

Ditch that spherical light enclosure and it will be minimalist :)
I'm still striving to achieve that minimalist lifestyle. Mahirap din eh. Hoarder kami ni misis, may separation anxiety sa mga gamit, bwahahahaha! Pero when it comes to music gear, I have ditched 3 basses. Isa na lang ngayon. Drums and cymbals binenta na rin dahil walang lalagyan. 1 dreadnought guitar and electric. Pero langyang LP sa Crescendo, parang sinasabi sa akin bilihin ko na. The old/first car had to go, magastos mag-restore/maintain.
Sa clothes naman, there was a time nag-ukay-ukay galore kami ni misis. Any cool prints na makita namin, bili na. Tinigilan na namin. Nagpipigil na rin ako ngayon na bumili palagi ng mga sapatos (that's my vanity). Pants, yun pa rin, walang bago. Since nagte-telecommute ako, I barely wear pants, he he he. Shorts medyo dumami (warning about baggy shorts, nakatataba ito!).
Gadgets, talagang minimalist na kami ngayon. Computers, hindi pa. I.T. ang field ko so I need those for testing VMs and all that Linux and services.
But going minimalist is a goal for us too.

nice one qroon!
ako when I go and explore..food lang pinaggagastusan ko. and my mementoes pictures lang..I rarely buy those "abubot" or mga souvenirs..I really consider them dust eaters at home. ..
dati mahilig din ako sa mga cool stuff..pero now..pinapalipas ko na..parang "meh, di ko naman to kailangan eh" kalat lang yan..hahaha..

How about figurine wala kayo sa desk?
I have elephant, saka eagle.. post pics of this later.. nakaka tuwa naman kaya kung may display kayo nito sa bahay..Lalu ka na gandy dahil architect ka di ba.. kung wala ka kasi ng mga ito parang walang makikita sa bahay mo ang mga bisita
Plastic fruits, sa table. Kasama na rin ng mga totoo ha ha mura lang naman eh..
And kasama sa target ko this year Aquarium yun mga 1m x 0.4m.. totoo na gastos din ito sa kuryente, fish food pero nakakaaliw naman :wink:

ayoko ng kahit ano actually..alam ko mahirap achieve yung ultimate coldness..pero gusto ko try..
ok lang yung aquarium..in my opinion..masarap din may aquarium lalo medyo modern looking..tsaka nice tropical fish..

sell all your guitars to buy one super guitar?!? ... never!
-
Question: in applying the minimalist approach on things, di ba parang mas magastos sya kasi im buying items of the best quality - which also equates to a larger sum of money.
parang Firemodel55 - lets admit the versatility of the guitar is great.at wala pa sa kwentahan yung top of the line hardware na sinalpak.true, it may be able to replace all the guitars one may have in his rack, pero the damage in the wallet is also huge.
Sent from my Abacus using nothing but my fingers.

gandy, how 'bout with gurls? :-P

gandy, how 'bout with gurls? :-P
HAHAHAHAHAH...
hmmmm tricky question!!
siguro same with our gear..pag teenager pa..the more the merrier..cheap and affordable..pero as we grow old and mature..masarap din na quality women..for keeps...

oo nga iniisip ko din to..depende din kasi kung gaano ka minimalist driven yung tao..or gaano ka secure sa sarili at sa needs and wants niya..
may iba kasi na flashy at kailangang magproject ng success image..na kailangan nilang tadtarin sarili nila at surroundings nila ng expensive things..
a true minimalist would say..buy 1 pair of really really good italian hand made shoes with non dated "styles"..and would use it hanggang masira..tapos papaayos pa niya yun after..
eto..actually may trip akong relo for the longest time..kasi actually "luxury goods" na ang bracket niya..hahaha
and medyo waaay off sa budget...na pwede ilaan sa mas ok na mga bagay or experiences..
yung omega speedmaster..yung watch ng NASA sa apollo lunar landing mission...hahahaha..iniisip ko pagka ganito na ako..pwede ko na benta lahat ng relo ko..ito nalang hanggang sa maipasa ko sa next generation as heirloom..

I think you have the wrong idea about a minimalist lifestyle. It's not having the best of one thing but it's having only what you NEED.

yeah tama ito ...NEEDS with a slight touch of class...of course choosing the best of what you can afford..

In the truest sense of being minimalistic that's not even true, of course I'm describing the most literal definition of being a minimalist.
Say for example, you have the money to buy a real 59 Goldtop or a real 57 or 62 Strat or whatever gives you a guitar boner, you do not buy that. You only buy a guitar that suits your needs even if it's a lowly Squier or Epiphone. That is minimalism in the most basic definition. You have a billion dollars, but you only need a phone to call or send texts then by all means if a 3310 can do that for you, you stick with a 3310.
-
I also want to get into this kind of lifestyle. spend big but will last with me for a long time. since I'm going to start on my first job, I'm planning on saving most of my salary and spend only on the things I need and konting wants. :-D
for my musical gear, I only want to buy 2 guitars and that's it. 1 acoustic, 1 electric, 1 amp. sabi nga ni Pete (freemansj) "GO FOR BROKE". :-D but it will be the kind of gear that will last with me for a long time. yes, GAS will be hard to resist pero ang gagawin ko I will by my ultimate GAS (yes, this is possible for me).
as for clothes, hindi ako masyado bumibili kasi inaalagaan ko naman mga damit ko so it lasts with me for a long time. siguro mga twice a year lang ako bumibili ng mga damit.
mahihirapan lang siguro ako sa shoes kasi I'm a big sneaker head. :lol: kung may makita ako'ng magandang sapatos, bibilhin ko kaagad. :-D
siguro I just need to control. I'm the type of guy though who focuses more on the needs than the wants.

Why i dont sell most of the stuff i acquire...
@Marzi,
nice topic..
ako naman,
same din tulad ng diskarte ninyo dati...and I came from a household na medyo "hoarder"..and really got fed up with a very clutered environment...kaya now (well, I started when I stared living independently, Ive decided to change my lifestyle..I too like giving away stuff..gear..pero I think its great to "earn off" a bit from selling my old stuff...parang personal garage sale to minimize clutter...
With new and great stuff coming out sa mundo ng gear..parang sarap di itry..at experience..kaya now Im really looking forward to disposing all my old ,unused gear for newer nicer things.. out with the old in with the new..sabi nga nila..
Im just a bit sentimental since..Id be erasing mementoes of my youth..which I hold so dearly for some cash..hahaha..

sorry if i got this wrong.its just the posts here are all leaning towards that "one thing to rule them all" idea.pero most of them are naming pricey brands
so ok, my understanding now is to make do with what little thing you have.in other words,a swiss army knife kind of thing.
kind of OT: my lady once asked me what i would like to have for christmas. i told her nothing but she insisted to buy or give me something.kesyo cleared ang mga credit cards nya etc etc.so i grabbed her,took her to an ORIS store and told her to ask the clerks for the cheapest watch they could offer.i also told her its the only thing i need at that time and i wouldnt ask for anything more. i waited outside for 5 mins then she came out and nearly slapped me while saying "bwisit ka!45 thousand na pinakamura don!" :))

actually yung concept ay parang...
sa experience ko..
nagacquire ako ng mga sangkatutak na behringer, joyo, mooer na delay pedals ..
pero sana sa umpisa palang binili ko na yung strymon TIMELINE..
parang ganito gusto ko baguhin sa lifestyle approach...

Hey buddy I was actually pertaining to Gandy but if you thought of that as well then that's fine. I was just trying to define minimalism in its purest form. You can still be a minimalist even if you buy a Gibson or a Ferrari if in your mind that's the only thing that can suit and cater to all your needs, parang ang nangyari kasi is ang sinasabi nila dito get one of the best. Pero if we're going to be strict, as long as it suits your needs even if it's not the best as long as it serves its purpose and it gets the job done then you're all set.
Basically in a nutshell it's getting what you need and not what you want. Parang buhay McGyver.

hahaha oo nga eh..as minimal as possible..siguro wag naman yung extreme "I will live in a smal log cabin shed completely detached from society" type of minamilism..hahahaha
tamang "less clutter, less junk"...good,quality items lang gagamitin sa pangarawaraw....pag di na ginagamit benta na or..pamigay..
-
para bang mga kids na nagtatanong kung ok ba bilhin yung china copy na ibanez..na may 10k lang na budget....mas advisable na..mag extra effort nalang siya a bit more to save pa ng konti to get a decent japanese guitar..na in the long run mas magprove na better quality, better feel..better parts...kesa sa mga cheapo, generic backyard shandong OEM guitar..

I think more on the "less is more" and "quality not quantity" ideals yung gusto mo rather than minimalism. Since ang minimalism is bare necessities type of deal. Pero whatever floats your boat man. Just wanted to clear this up.
-
this has been one of my hardest struggle, living minimalist. sa panahon kasi ngayon ang daming temptations everywhere. parang sa panahon kasi ngayon you'll jump into bandwagon lalo kapag may bagong labas na technology (cellphones,computers etc.) nakikita ko kasi if you feed that desire you'll never feel content and you'll always look for more.
Siguro for me living minimalist will take a lot of maturity.

dito samin madaming minimalist. yung sa squatters. di na nila need ng toilet bowl rekta sa ilog. tapos may sarili silang poso. naka-jumper yung iba yung iba naka-kandila lang at least kita nila. mas tipid magbayad ng kuryente kandila at katol lang pwede na. leisure time? kesa gumastos sa panonood ng tv magtsismisan na lang para ka ng nanonood ng face to face.

Ha ha yun squatter nga ang minimalist.. kasi yun sampung anak pinagkakasya sa isang kuwarto :-D
Di na kelangan ng toilet, upo lang sa kanal ok na :-D

Actually mas maluho pa nga yung mga iyan eh. They live well beyond their means kaya walang ipon, walang investment, walang future. Hindi sila minimalist in a sense but yun na yung best na naaafford nila. Kabaliktaran ng minimalist na kahit kaya nya makaafford ng mas mahal, mas maganda, mas madaming features eh dun siya sa simple at walang cheche bureche na di niya kailangan. Sila kailangan nila lahat yan para mabuhay.

@prince22
can you give me a real person example of a minimalist?
-
@prince22
can you give me a real person example of a minimalist?
I just did a few posts ago. In a reply to Gandy's post.
A more concrete example would be:
Someone with the purchasing power of firemodel55 but is a minimalist and does not indulge himself in boutique gear because he knows that a simple run of the mill standard line guitar would suffice his bedroom jamming needs. Let's say for example you have the money to buy a top of the line sports car, you only need a car with A/C, A/T and the basic functions. You won't get something that goes 200 miles per hour that costs 500,000 $ even if you could afford a dozen of them because you don't need it.
-
pang minimalist ba ung guitar ni guthrie govan? hehe. or lahat lang talaga kaya nya gawin sa guitar? hehe
sakin naman sa damit bihira din ako bumili pero dapat polo shirt lage bibilin para all around.
sa shoes 3 lang meron ako.. black/leather shoes(mura lang), isang black sneakers para mejo all around din. at isang sanuk pang summer/dry season
ung relo ko seiko naman. pamana pa ng father ko. tagal masira. :D
sa guitar binenta ko ung korean Epiphone SG ko to give way sa SX Tele. hehe. un lang need ko eh. upgrade ko nalang. pati in the future balak ko magpacustom nalang sa mga luthier dito sa pinas. kaya dun ko nalang ililipat ung mga parts na mabibili ko. sa effects distortion at fuzz lang naman fave kong sounds.
sa gadgets. parang importante meron kang laptop or desktop sa bahay. then isang Tabler/ipadmini for presentations sa work or school.
at cellphone na hindi mabilis malowbat! eto talaga issue kaya ayoko ng touchscreen phones eh. bilis ng batt life. hehe

eksakli, a swiss army knife. shooting ducks with a shotgun. one item, many uses.
its gonna be a hard task trying to become a minimalist i think.kasi in your search for items that would meet your requirements,medyo mahaba-habang selection process yun..
so eto, i found a minimalist phone..bowteek item, yes..minimalist? you be the judge...

"the best" is always fleeting, nothing will ever be the best as long as the human mind compares and decides.
Better to live for the "good enough", with regards to materials and lifestyle choices

Na-post ko na to dun sa mimimalist thread ni Gandy.
May separation anxiety kami ni misis sa mga gamit namin.
Kaya puro tambak kami ngayon. Shoes, clothes, toys and whatnots. Hoarder? Di pa naman. Pero there was a time na may toy na naka-seal for collection purposes, may naka-display in vehicle and robot mode (transformers) and merong nilalaro. So for a bumblebee robot, 4 identical items, he he he. Iba pa yung Japan variant LOL!
Pero over the years, and nakita naming nagiging ganun din ugali ng panganay namin, tinigilan na namin. Ngayon eh we are trying hard to let go of some of our stuff.
So, meron ba sa inyong gustong maki-sosyo to start a storage business?
uy! iniisip ko to dati pa!
-
Uy Gandy. Sa AGT ko yan posted ah. Nahahalata tuloy na may second account ka :lol:

guys wala akong second account..nililipat ko lang at quote ko mga interesting replies at nililipat ko dito sa thread na pwede koa makapagcomment..hahaha
pero seriously..ok tong storage biz..facilty lang kailangan..may show sa hostory channel di ba yung parang i-auction off nila mga gamit sa storage na di na iclaim..

The best products usually withstand not just the physical tortures of time but also withstand the trends in design and function.
For example in cars, a honda civic's design is good for about 4-6 years afterwhich a new model comes out or another brand comes up with a new trend in design. But in the case of euros like bimmers and MB's, their designs are years ahead of their class and withstand trends twice longer than their japanese counterparts.
That said, I always try to go somewhere in between the middle and the higher-end stuff. Like my cars, though I cannot afford brand new euros, I'd rather buy good pre-owned bmw's instead of buying brand new korean or japs. Makes more sense in the long run.
Clothes and shoes often run quickly out of style and wear out just as fast so I don't buy very expensive ones, I go for those somewhere in the middle of cheap and trendy. But I keep an emergency fund for special functions where a new suit, shoes, accessories are required, this is tucked away in one of the pockets of my americanas.
For household furniture and appliances, refs and aircons that last 10-15 years without repair, sturdy sofas and orthopedic beds, etc... are good investments, I don't skimp much, I buy the best I could afford.
Not buying cheap keeps your house clutter free, minimalist-ic.
My office is a whole different story though. Everything is cheap and un-trendy. Like my computers and my staffs computers, all are cheap unbranded pc's (but with licensed software naman), this way I can afford to upgraded to new ones every year. Doing this ensures that everyone will make sure all their data is redundant in their own systems, apart from my own redundancies as well. same with my office furniture, everything is cheap so I can afford to renovate as often as every 18 months to 2 years. This way clients think I'm doing good as my office seems to be in constant refurbishing.

This way clients think I'm doing good as my office seems to be in constant refurbishing.

"You work in a job you hate, to buy stuff that you don't need, to impress people that you don't like."
- Fight Club
Imagine yourself dwelling in the following world:
You live in a safe pleasant and unpolluted community where you actually know your neighbors and interact with them, be it a small town, a suburb or even a city neighborhood. You can easily walk, bicycle or take effective mass transit to your nearby job, giving you time to think or read as you get there.
The work that you do improves our future, benefits your community and means something to you and those with whom you interact. You actually look forward to Monday. The longer that you are employed the more you learn and the more valuable you become to your employer with an increasing level of pay.
Your work schedule leaves you sufficient time to enjoy your friends, family and outside interests. Money isn't a controlling influence in your life because your needs are easily met. Your possessions are few, yet of high quality, thus allowing your home to be small, neat and inexpensive to own or rent.
You're connected to your surroundings, rather than just dwelling in them, your backyard, for example, provides most of the produce you might need plus a surplus that you can trade with neighbors. You have a stake in your community and participate in local decision making at the Town Council, P.T.A. and other grass roots organizations.. You buy what is necessary in nearby establishments whose owners are known to you and live in your community. If you have children, they walk to a nearby well-funded neighborhood school in safety and then learn authentic social skills as they interact with a community of honorably employed adults when away from school.
Occasionally you need to travel to a large store on the edge of town. You do this on a free shuttle bus or perhaps in a simple, older vehicle, the use and costs of which you might share with others or a car that you rent only when you need it, thus preserving for yourself the weeks or months that it takes to earn the thousands of after-tax Dollars that owning a new car would take away from you each year. Your interests, the things that you really like to do with your mind and your hands, all the possibilities of your life, are there to be explored because you have the time, energy and money to do so.

Having fewer things means enjoying what you have more and actually getting to use it, thereby raising its intrinsic value. The less clutter that one has in their surroundings, the fewer distractions there are from the essentials such as family, friends, food, nature and study. With less clutter, one needs a smaller space in which to live comfortably and thus needs to work less to pay rent to store things. If you haven't used something in the last year, how much likelihood is there that you ever will use it?
"The most important assets are brands.
Buildings age and become dilapidated.
Machines wear out.
Cars rust.
People die.
But what lives on are the brands."
Hector Liang
Chairman, United Biscuits
"Products are made in the factory, but brands are created in the mind."
-Walter Landor
Industrial Designer
"When people have lost their authentic personal taste, they lose their personality and become instruments of other people's wills."
Robert Graves
Can brands survive ecosystem collapse or the fall of our government?
Making do with less allows one to distance themself from the tendency of the victims of advertising to self-define according to the material objects possessed or not possessed, driven, drunk, worn, used, seen with or abused.
You usually see people thus affected in public places, lurking around a piece of machinery, such as a car or a boat. They bask in its radiance, act respectful and imply knowledge about its quality and providence. They act as they feel that they should act, making sure that others see them acting this way in the presence of the thing. They can only communicate with each other through the medium of the object, the cold piece of metal, in the presence of which they feel that they can speak to each other and actually show some emotion and interact.
The thing, the product, becomes a longed for goal, a means of justifying their existence, a way of envisioning themself in a different world with possession of the thing being the key tenet. Particular speech patterns often develop around things to the exclusion of the personal qualities of the speaker, as in
"I used to have a....."/"Yeah, friend of mine, he's got a "57.....", "last night I drank two....and a six pack of....","she was wearing..."," we did two....then a ....have you seen the new...""...how about those Forty-Niners?..." "Look what I got...""what do you think about American Idol?"
Empty, hollow words, bespeaking a personal void filled by the pursuit of things. Getting away from need for things is at least a start in allowing people to communicate and then once communicating, beginning to solve real problems in their home, community, nation and the world.

hahaha nabasa ko yan sa FB post mo, then sinulat ko na sa journal ko

HAHAHAHA kaya pala parang nabasa ko na before..hahaha ganda niyang philosophy..simple lang..
actually.eto nasa mind ko these days..
nung bata tayo gustong gusto natin magkabahay na malaki, sports cars at kung ano anong luxuries to "define" ourselves..kaso di natin nakikita, having these things and more and more stuff will be more of a burden dahil sa hidden costs of having these things na in the first place di naman kailangan..the more costs you need to pay off the more you have to work and earn to pay off these things disrupting your life balance...kungbaga hawak ka na ng material things mo sa leeg..
Youd be amazed how well it is to live with less stuff..tshirts..ayos na may 7 ka, shirts 7 din siguro 3 longsleeves pang formal ocassions..2 jeans 2 slacks.a set of socks and underwear..a watch..a phone..1 leather, 1 rubber shoes.. all of good quality.. would last you 2-3 years the most..buying only pag sale..and buying pag wasak or punit na yung item na yun...
Lately we got into the habbit of selling our babies old stuff, its good money, buy good quality items and reselling it wouldnt be a problem.. we have a practical couple who just had a baby..and would buy stuff from us, usually toys, and clothes..great savings for them.. and the sale money goes straight to our kids bank account..shes just 1yr old but you will be surprised how much we has saved up...probably better than most young urban professionals savings..
My wife and I promised that all our sideline, extra earnings, benta benta, raket, cash prizes,regalo etc. (gross) goes into our kids savings account. We even set a yearly quota for it..just for fun and the challenge of hitting that target..
Its a great habit..extra savings..and the funds can be used to fund other money making endeavors...investments and the likes..
Guys, if you guys are going to have kids, I urge you to really go the BREAST FEEDING way...I swear..it will save you thousands and thousands of pesos..and its good for the kids health and eq as well...SOBRANG LAKING SAVINGS to..kesa sa pagbili ng Formula..really!!
Develop a habit of Saving..no matter how small, disiplina din, this is where it all begins..if you have a substantial amount saved, when a good business or investment opportunity pops up...ready ka with some funds..thus helping you further your life..

Ako yata pinaka-"minimalist" sa tropa namin. Hehe nice thread.
1 simple nokia phone because I already have an android tablet that does my "mobile computing needs" so magiging redundant kung bibili pa ako ng uber gandang phone with amoled kahit na sobrang hype ako dito dati. hahaha. And I dont use my phone rin as a music player kasi I have a good portable music player.
1 good thing sa setup ko hindi na ako nagkakaroon ng moments na "Uy lowbat na agad cp ko, kasi naman kahapon pa ako nagpapatugtog." That way mas ready sa emergency or urgent calls/texts. Dati kasi I had a 1 smart phone that I use para sa lahat, net, music, games, call and text pa. haha hindi bagay sa situation ko lalo pag nagbibiyahe.

I just ripped my old pair of jeans due to numipis na yung denim sa kakalaba at kakagabit, and nabutas na swelas ng topsider ko na daily beater ko for over a year (Freaking comfy)..threw the shoe yeterday and turned the pair of jeans into basahan...money well spent..will I buy new shoes? or a pair of jeans? perhaps not for the mean time..Ive got 2 pairs or jeans here and 2 office slacks.. no clothes buying for me anytime soon...di ko na nga macheck ano latest designs ng UT tees ng Uniqlo..hahaha..Ive really got more than eneough clothes to get me by for many more years..

good share..
somehow Ive been thinking...
ever notice during rush hour at the MRT, or LRT..subway etc..how crowded and packed like sardines..long lines everywhere..
similar din sa pigs, cattle, chickens..etc..all cooped up in their cages and pens..tapos didirect sila sa meat processing plant..siksikan, moving about with fences on both sides..
sigh...
iba talaga ang free range living..grow your own garden...live near the sea..open lawns...no deadlines..nobody giving you orders...not always catching time..focused on family friends..and relationships and experiences to be happy...instead of material crap..
-
^re: MRT, nakakatapak ng pagkatao literally and figuratively. maarte na kung maarte, pero ayoko na talagang magMRT kapag kasagsagan ng pasahero. Minsan nga pagkakaakyat ko at maraming tao (weekends) kahit nakapag"swipe" na eh bumababa na lang ako.
ang gusto kong I-simplify ngayon wardrobe ko (naks wardrobe). ang dami kong damit! pero 50% siguro hindi na swak sa gusto kong porma haha. hindi ko rin mapakawalan kasi parang "just in case" clothes ko kapag hindi nasusunod ang laundry day routine (which is madalas).

hahaha dito although di naman ganun ka worse as MRT...makikita mo yung analogy na parang coral ng cattle ang galaw ng tao...sigh..kaya mas prefered ko na nagbibiskleta or nagelectric scooter to work..kaso masyado na ako malayo sa office..
pag may kid at family..medyo mahirap magimpose ng minimalist living..hahaha lalo sa toys and books..

Gearwise:
hoping to sell off the Jazzbass..and sana balikan ng mayari yung pinatago niyang squire 51 na binili niya sakin.. contemplating din of selling off my personal pedal collection..and just focus on the G3 and some drive pedals.. even thinking of selling off the roland edrums.. medyo dumadami na clutter sa house dahil sa toys at book ng chickiting...medyo hirap na controlin...
need to go through my clothes to see what can be disposed this time around..napaparami recently kasi may mga good quality clothes on sale na mahirap palampasin...retire ko nadin yung 4 year old sneakers ko..at upod na yung swelas..haha..got a cool new pair just this weekend...
I really love stuff na pasok sa category na "Gamit na gamit"..pero matibay at going strong padin...

for me, right now:
music related:
1 electric guitar, 1 acoustic guitar, 2 amps (a 5owatt tube quarter stack and an orange micro that I might sell soon...I don't use it)
2 boost ODs (been trying to sell 1 of then kaso walang kumukuha)
I want to get a nice digital 4-track recorder like the Tascam I used to own kaso ala pera...good thing there are multi-tracker apps na for smart phones :)
everyday stuff:
a pair of boots, a pair of sneakers & a pair of boat shoes. my plan is to just replace pag nasira na...pinaka-madaling masira ung sneakers kasi canvas lang. ung boots and boat shoes parehong leather. mas gumaganda at sumasarap suotin habang tumatagal. I don't have any shoes for formal situations nga lang.
yung rest, medyo marami pa, pero trying to cut it down na rin para mas simple ang buhay.

regarding wardrobe, I remember watching an episode of queer eye for the straight guy (yes, you can get some manly fashown tips from this show). I remember this episode where one of the hosts mentioned the essentials:
jeans
slacks
a suit
sa shoes: running shoes, formal black leather shoes, and a brown leather casual pair...
basta parang ganun.
-
ganito rin mindset ko dati, pero sa dami ng category na naisip ko sa one piece per category, dumami na rin e..
1 pair of leather shoes, pamasok sa office
1 pair of leather shoes pangporma
1 pair sneakers pang porma
1 pair running shoes
1 pair slip on pang harabas
the list goes on....
sus nawala na yung essence ng pagiging minimalist
my 1 pair of rubber shoes = pamasok sa office, pangporma, walking shoes (I don't run), pang bahay, pang pulp summer slam :wave:
-
1 good pair of shoes:UA Valsetz Tac Boots (2 years),UA running shoes(4 years) and a Vans Classic (5 years and still kicking dust),yung iba pinamigay ko na lang.
1 good all around watch..of a good brand and quality..:a 4 years old Casio G-Shock
1 good phone - Nokia X1(4 Years old)
a few good pairs of pants 4 Tailored Tac Pants(4 years old)
a few good quality shirts, belts..etc 2 sets of Rigger Belts(3 years old) 5 piece Plain Shirts(Eto lang halos napapalitan ko in a yearly basis,hardcore yung mga laundry machines eh)
Some few gadget (1 E-reader,1 Tablet,1 Mp3 Player)
My wardrobe is the size of kid's toy stash
Frugality can pay off in the long run,I get to realize a lot of this stuff being away most of the time,and learnt that people can live from just the stuff you can normaly fit inside a backpack
With regards to musical gear,after bailing out from my band huminto na rin halos yung search ko for this things,I just revisit my old stocks and make the best out of em,may occasional buys but only if my bonus ako or talagang drool worthy yung item,pero pag hindi mas matagal pa yung pag iisip ko kesa sa pakipagtawaran.

I'm a very minimalist person. Set your mindset to what you need instead of what you want.
Nice one. Gagawin ko tong sig, para lagi ko to maaalala.

I have never owned a watch since I started using mobile phones. A watch has no practical use anymore (see "The Internship").
Denims - 1 pair of Levi's (2012) and 1 GAP (2009).
Jackets / Suits - one gray, one black-ish, one light brown. Slacks to match (black and brown) and shoes to match (black and brown).
I'm at the stage where no one can force me to wear ties (uncomfortable and impractical) nor barong (ugly, in my opinion).
-
I still live with a lot, pero hindi luho tulad ng mga gadgets or TV. marami akong mga utilitarian stuff, like tools, or mga makaka-enhance ng work or ease. kunwari oo may relo ako, but for the longest time wala dahil may phone naman. pero nung nagkaroon na ng Pebble smartwatch, bumili na ako. same price ng decent watch but does more. bang for buck sakin. may waffle maker ako pero nagiging sandwich press at grill din, sobran sulit. meron din akong dedicated tools. di na ako nainiwala sa multi-purpose tools/gadgets, inefficient sya, at mas madali masira. I'd rather have a single purpose tool or gadget na maraming pwede paggamitan. tulad ng undershirts. maganda yung mga undershirts na binibili ko, v neck na solid color makapal ang tela. so undershirt to panlabas sakto lang, kahit ipantulog mo ok din.

unti unti ko na phase out to..din..haha though nakasanayan lang ..pero its true..redundant na ang watch sa panahon ngayon..

though I do still believe in smartwatches :) most people pan it for being redundant as well, but those people either haven't used one or they use it wrong. I think it's the step into the future, because it helps us DETACH from the tech we have now :)
tanong, what say you about furniture? buy the best agad? kasi diba pag bata ka pa, prone ka pa rin lumipat-lipat, lalo na pag lumalaki ang bahay. parang sayang naman kung lagi papalitan, or hassle i-transport. worse, ang hirap kaya sa puso magbenta ng magandang furniture :cry:

Kung palamelamesa lang I usually go to the DIY route, sobrang hassle ang furnitures, hindi narin naman practical yung mga prime wooden furnitures aesthtically eyesore na lalo pag medyo modernized na yung theme nang bahay mo.

IKEA..
NORDMYRA chairs... may nagbebenta ng used..4- 2000 php lang
(http://36.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxi44gy9DL1r1bwito1_500.jpg)
or MUJI stuff..
hahaha
but...IDEALLY...
go for quality..real wood, and craftsmanship, simple, longlasting design feel.... isahang bilihan lang pang forever..
but, i guess sa digital fast paced world..ok na mga ikea..pag nasira na after 2 years..bili uli ng bago..na iba naman design..

naniniwala naman ako sa DIY stuff, kasi particle board, material of the future yan eh. sana lang yung construction ok din. magbato lang sila ng mga extra bracings or whatever para mas matibay yung structure nya.
o kaya laminated bamboo na DIY, sana may ganun. matibay, maganda, super cheap i-produce.

environmental ata ang issue sa bamboo, it's cheap as fck but you just can't plant bamboo anywhere. yung mga habitat whatever na admittedly totoong malaki ang impact.

haha, for me, I want furniture thats simple and easy to clean..yun lang..
living away and moving cities and apartments many many times have taught me a lot about house care and maintenance... less is more! haha and no matter how closed you keep your windows and sliding doors..laging may annoying dust build up!!!

this is exactly why I want bamboo laminate furniture! simple, economic, looks cool as fck, and they're easy to clean (usually kasi lacquer finish).
tsaka totoo yang dust buildup na yan! kahit sarado ang bintana! dati bumili ako ng bagong loofah, tapos naka sara yung bintana ng cr ko nun, pagtingin ko ng sabado (kasi di ko nagagamit pag weekdays nagmamadali kasi) wow ITIM NA!! :-o so first line of defense ko may pledge talaga ako pang furniture, I think it's practical to have, and it keeps your stuff in better condition.

tips:
shaving cream: use women's hair conditioner instead (better/cheaper than gilette foam/gel). merong 88 pesos na almost 1 liter sa mga thrift shops (like japan home). nakakalambot ng buhok ang conditioner at hindi masyado foamy so it doesn't obstruct your view. lampas lampas isang taon mo gagamitin ito.
razor: meron safety razor sa lazada (do you really need 5 blades?) and di hamak na mas mura ang gilette rubie blade (double edge). meron din plastic na safety razor sa supermarkets and 'bente-bente' stores. personally, i use a merkur futur (hehehe) pero mura naman ang blades.
shampoo: dilute it with water then ilagay mo sa 1 liter container. ikaw na bahala sa timpla pero sure na mas matagal maubos.
everyday deodorant: dissolve tawas in water, place in atomizer/sprayer. use a 50ml sauce container to measure tawas (dissolve two of these to 1 liter of water). alum has skin tightening and antibacterial properties. hanap ka tawas sa palengke (50 pesos/1 kg). applying tawas directly is wasteful.

+1 sa conditioner. ginagamit ko rin yan pang manscaping. swabe 8-)
sa razor, wag na ka bumili ng mga mamahaling cartridge type. lalo na yung Mach 3 ng Gillette, yun pa rin ata ang pinaka popular ngayon. May 3-blade na disposable na ang gillette, pero bang for buck yung Gillette Blue II where price:modern comfort is concerned. and yeah both of those last longer than a Mach 3 cartridge (I know, I tried). yung nirerecommend ni sir chiqgarcia na single blade, well kelangan medyo may tamang haplos ka para masulit mo :lol:
gusto mo makatipid sa shaving cream at razor, magpa-sugaring ka na lang ng balbas mo, matagal pa babalik, tapos pag lumabas na parang buhok ng baby.

may tanong ako mga sir/maam, medyo OT pero related pa rin.
Self-confessed pack rat kasi ako. sobrang pack rat ko na andun pa rin yung almost 5 months old na medium fries ng Mcdo sa extra snare drum ko. ganung level.
anyway, marami akong gamit na di ko tinatapon pero di ko naman ginagamit, pero minsan nagagamit ko talaga (like twice a year) di tulad ng malala na pack rat na di na nagamit since huling tumae sa diaper. nasasayangan kasi ako kung ibebenta ko lang ng palugi or libre na lang diba tapos bibili ako ng bago pag kailangan. isa pang problema dyan eh di ako naniniwala sa multi-use things. mas ok sakin yung single purpose things na pwedeng i-hackpara makagawa ng ibang bagay, pero kasi nadala na ako sa multi-use na gamit kasi matibay at di naman ganun kagaling sa paggawa ng trabaho nya compared sa dedicated tool. help! :-o

But seriously though, it will all start with letting things go,if those stuff are pretty useful they won't end up being hidden in the first place. Finding a purpose for some purposeless item will just give you dilemma. For me ideal things to be stored are set of hardware that will enable you to build stuff and re-purpose some of your present wares. Things like clothes,shoes,bags are throwaways IMO,just keep some that will endure long storage time and can withstand the condition of an easily forgotten closet. If you are the handy man that can restore things like broken appliances it is nice to keep some spares from old wares but if not consider these things garbage. With musical stuff, don't horde anything that won't serve a purpose for your own musical endeavor;manghihinayang ka lang.

For me ideal things to be stored are set of hardware that will enable you to build stuff and re-purpose some of your present wares. Things like clothes,shoes,bags are throwaways IMO,just keep some that will endure long storage time and can withstand the condition of an easily forgotten closet. If you are the handy man that can restore things like broken appliances it is nice to keep some spares from old wares but if not consider these things garbage. With musical stuff, don't horde anything that won't serve a purpose for your own musical endeavor;manghihinayang ka lang.
I called in sick yesterday, but I had a great deal of uptime so I took the box my Phoebus came in and opened it then emptied out half of all the boxes in my room. one pile for "for keeps and for selling" and another for "throwing away and white elephant games". Turns out I have a sht ton of trash in my room! lots of useless stuff like extra desktop computer power cables, bags I have no use for, old broken toys, expired cans of food and beer, packaging of stuff I wont sell anyway, tons of data DVDs of porn (I might hold on to those), and a lot of random things I just don't use. It's all on my floor now but I cleared up two fairly deep drawers and two shelves because of that.
Of course I have keepers too. I didn't even know I had a 95% working good as new condition android phone in my side table! my old hand me down 6230 which still had its 32MB memory card with pictures I kept in high school, a USB I thought I lost back in freshman college, the toys and letters my exes gave me, tons of USB cables (you really can't run out of that stuff) and CDs DVDs and tapes of my old projects. I'll have to get new boxes for these but at least I know eventually I won't have one box that keeps something I don't need :)
I'm on my way out! :razz:

so I moved back to a smaller apartment recently..and have been overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I had to move...Im Planning to really, streamline...especially my gear...focus more on playing bass..and keeping my gear to an absolute minumum...(something like just a Zoom G3 and a Zoom B3) and thats it!
been reading a lot about minimilasm and living with less again...to inspire and motivate me to shed off some unecessary clutter around the house..

Get rid of cutlery, magkamay na lang! :lol:
Pero seryoso, dito lalabas yung ganda ng mga appliances/tools na Hindi multi purpose pero multi purpose naman talaga tulad ng panini press, microwave, cast iron pans, steak knives, de pukpok na can opener, rice cooker, etc.

Sa swiss knives ko, nawawala ang pang-tinga.

^yan ang isa sa pinaka maagang nawawala talaga. mabilis kasi lumuwag. di ko ginagamit pang tinga yung sakin pero napapansin ko lumuluwag na sya dahil pinag lalaruan ko minsan - tanggal, balik, repeat.

how about minimalism sa wardrobe? nabibilang niyo ba kung ilan na ang damit niyo (work clothes, etc). narealize ko lang marami na pala akong damit nung naglaundromat (self-service laundry) ako. bagong bukas lang sa may samin at syempre, the hype is real haha.
usually kasi iiwan ko lang sa laundry shop, then kukunin kapag may ipapalaba na uli (after 3-4 days). Eh pag laundromat, after 1 hour tapos na ang labahan ko, balik na lahat ng damit sa cabinet, problema eh hindi na kasya hahaha.

^oo sa big bang theory na series, mala-sheldon cooper, may pang monday, tuesday etc. na damit siya, (the flash shirt is for friday). there's one episode na natulog siya ng walang pajama pants kasi namantsahan earlier and he can't afford to use the other pajamas kasi for other days yun haha. grabe dapat disiplinado ka sa laundry schedule mo pero maganda din, no surprises, in the long run less things to worry about.

pag weekdays iisa lang ang kinakain ko sa office - parang philly cheesesteak with chicken thigh fillet, bell peppers, onions, baguette and cheez whiz. isang ganun lang busog na ko.
gawa ako mamyang lunch.
