Priceless

Tada! I'm back!

I know it's not something I should do after just 1 week of saying goodbye, as if my previous post was anything but serious. Trust me, I had meant what I said. I just decided that thoughts are better to be expressed than to keep away. Besides, some things (like this blog) are just too hard to let go..

A few days ago, I recalled, when I was still a child, how my dad unconditionally bought me the hottest Sega console set, just simply because I requested him to. Plus a couple of newest original games, even though I already had my Micro Genius. Thinking back, I feel ashamed the way I made him spend so much on such worthless things when what he earned was only peanuts.

Perhaps if I had been more sensible then, I wouldn't have made such a selfish request. But what was it that made my dad not think twice about buying something so expensive? I have a conclusion. I will leave it to you to find yours.



Now I feel even more ashamed of myself, by putting a price to my father's love. Like I said, it was unconditional. A couple of hundred dollars? It meant nothing to him.

To imitate Mastercard's series of priceless commercials:

A Sega console set: $200
A couple of original games: $120
The smile a dad puts on his son's face: priceless

There are some things money can't buy.
