Here in the Philippines, Imelda Marcos, the wife of former President Ferdinand Marcos is known for her noteworthy collection of 1,000 pair of designer shoes and jewelries that worth a millions each.Her collection was really beautiful and totally amazing. Collecting, for me is a hobby.Has anyone happened collecting the things you want?What are those things?

Hi friend,
You have collected a lot,It seems you are an avid collector.I am so glad that you find satisfaction with your collection that interest you most.We have things in common,I also like collecting shoes as much as I can.I asked myself Why, then, would someone put so much time and effort into amassing a collection?Well,maybe because collections brings so much love and joy to the collector and also the feeling of accomplishments is much greater when the collection is completed. One truth that cannot be denied that people will always continue to collect, whatever the reason.
Thank's for response itsmamanen.

Hi,
It's awesome! Rich people can have hobby of collecting costly things. We common people can have hobbies like collecting stamps, coins or some artistic things which requires less money. But I don't have any hobby of collecting anything.

You're right roshigo,Rich people wouldn't mind how much money they spent,They are just simply obsessed of collecting costly things.It's likely their pride and passion to collect as many as they can.Well, people have different fancy,It's up to you to collect or not.
Thanks for the response roshi.

Hi,
If I could, I would be collecting watches, all kinds of automatic watches with day and date windows in them. They happen to be quite expensive so I'll just be content for now with various rocks I happen to come along on my travels everywhere to mark the occasion. I have a variety of rocks collected from the mountaintops down to 60 feet underwater sitting on my table as paperweights and marked with the date and place where I have collected them.

Hi Rogo,
collecting is not about spending vast amount of money to get the things we want,we can collect things in different ways like yours. I admire that you put great value with rocks,I'm wondering what are those kinds of rocks you have collected? was it igneous or sedimentary?Rocks comes in many different colors, sizes,and shapes and because no rocks are exactly alike, They are a lot of fun to collect.Keep collecting truly unique rocks rogo. It seems you will be happy enough to have more.
