jaded with superficiality

was walking around campus
when the monograms of LV just pass me by
was heading to class
when the monograms of Gucci just pass me by
was sitting in class
when whispers of Chanel, Prada and LV reached my ears
was about to approach some peeps
and then i walked away
and i DO NOT do this
but that moment
i was glad i did what i did

and then i stood in the middle of nowhere
because all i hear
were conversations of
what's the latest collection of chanel?
was this the special edition from DKNY?
this is liiikkeee so last season, heellloo??
and it goes on and on and on
it's as if like i am standing in an ocean full of people
that were only vaguely visible to my sight
i was so lost
speechless...

now don't get me wrong here
i have no problems with all these brands and all
because personally i do like them too
i totally get the whole attraction to all these merchandise that these brands carry
but aren't we all tooo conscious about it?

since when did all conversations have to revolve only or at least most of the time around brands?
since when did greetings became "oh my Godd!!! this is like the latest one? where did you get it?......" and we have a conversation?
since when did friendships became an object of "heyyy, you carry a designer bag! yeayy! u arree soo coool..let's be friends!"
since when did personality, social status and judgements be determine through labels that you are carrying around?
since when did a person's worth get valued by the names that you carry along?

what happen to the normal conversations that make you understand each other better in a different perspective?
what happen to other conversation that actually make you think and challenge you?
what happen to the mundane (though its mundane) conversations of "hows your day?"

and all we yapp and yapp and yapp about is the latest collection of Chanel
and all we ever think about is "how hard is it to get the special edition bag from Guess?"
aarrgghhH!~
I AM SO JADED!
so so so jaded!!

and i don't think i want to continue on the other superficiality that we are all in right now....
